Wheelie rambling MOBILITY scooter and motorised wheelchair users took to the foreshore boardwalk in Frankston on Tuesday 14 October.

The guided ramble was organised as part of Frankston Seniors Festival, encouraging those with reduced mobility to get out and about.

After a solid dose of fresh air, participants enjoyed a morning tea at the nearby Mechanics Institute Hall.

Fake notes warning Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRAUDSTERS are circulating fake $50 notes throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

By Friday afternoon police had uncovered around 20 of the counterfeits at a range of businesses, including a supermarket, takeaway food store, bakery and a Salvos store.

Detective Senior Sergeant

Nick Vallas, of Mornington CIU, said a woman in her 30s had been interviewed but, as yet, no charges had been laid. He said a man who allegedly accompanied the woman on “shopping sprees” was still being sought.

It is believed more than one group of counterfeiters are behind the scheme, and that the $50 notes have a range of serial numbers.

They have been used to buy small items in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings and Frankston over the past

few weeks, Detective Vallas said.

In one instance, the fraudsters were so keen to launder their stash that they bought a pizza in a Mornington restaurant, “paid” for it and then left without eating it.

“They are after the change from cashing in the notes,” Detective Vallas said.

Federal police are advising their state counterparts on what to look for when handling suspected counterfeits.

They vary in size and are a few millimetres longer or shorter than

are legally required to hand it in,” Detective Vallas said.

“Commonwealth legislation provides for substantial penalties – including a $10,000 fine and two years’ jail, or both – for those who design, make, print or distribute counterfeit notes,” he said.

“You can’t simply take one to a bank and expect them to refund you a genuine note.”

Those with information on the counterfeits should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

genuine notes, they crinkle more easily, the stars in the clear window areas differ in number, and feel “like they are stuck on rather than being part of the note”.

There is no good news for those who have been duped, either.

Detective Vallas said any fake $50s found should be put into an envelope with the date, time and place of finding marked, and then handed in to police.

Election campaign fires up Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THERE are signs the heat is rising in the battle to win the seat of Frankston at next month’s state election.

Firefighters were called out last week to extinguish a fire that destroyed a billboard promoting Liberal candidate Sean Armistead’s campaign to win votes.

Frankston CFA firefighter Doug Broom said his crew responded to a call about the burning sign at Beach St at about 9.25pm on Friday 10 October.

The flames were quickly extinguished but an anonymous Twitter troll tried to use the incident to provoke a blazing row with Mr Armistead.

The Twitter user publicly sent Mr Armstead a message the day after the fire with a photograph of a firefighter at the scene putting the fire out and claimed the Liberal candidate’s campaign is “going up in smoke”.

Mr Armistead decided not to fan the online flames by responding to the tweet.

“I never respond to negative anonymous tweets, especially those promoting unsafe behaviour and unsavoury politics,” Mr Armistead said.

“Although I am always happy to debate a policy or principle with people who are not anonymous and throwing around wild accusations about me.”

Mr Broom said the fire was “deemed to be suspicious”.

“It looked like it was deliberately set alight,” he said.

“It may have been someone with a political point to make but it was just

as likely to be someone who thought it was funny.”

Mr Broom said the arson attack “was a potentially harmful prank.”

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke is a firefighter based at the CFA’s Frankston station.

He condemned the actions of whoever set Mr Armistead’s political billboard alight.

“It’s a waste of firefighters’ time and is potentially dangerous,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Mr Broom said he did not know who took the photograph circulated on social media that showed a firefighter dealing with the fire.

“There were several people passing by with camera phones including the people who called it [the fire] in,” he said.

The person who sent the photograph to Mr Armistead seems to have set up their Twitter account to continually criticise the Liberal Party and Mr Armistead. The account has just 28 followers.

Mr Armistead said the temporary loss of the political billboard was the second time that week someone had taken one of his Liberal Party signs out of action.

A Karingal Drive billboard was stolen the night before the Beach St sign was set alight.

“It’s disappointing but I will replace the sign,” Mr Armistead said.

“I hope this is not the start of an underhand dirty tricks campaign.”

He said whoever stole the Karingal Drive sign “cut 20 zip ties” and had not left the large billboard nearby.

THE Greens have slammed the Coalition’s efforts to improve travel conditions on the Frankston line after candidates last week joined commuters on peak hour services to experience “severe overcrowding” first hand.

Greens candidates across Melbourne last week boarded trains during the evening peak from Flinders Street station to their respective electorates to highlight the scale of overcrowding experienced daily by commuters.

The candidates said it took well over 30 minutes on the Frankston line before a seat became available – more than half the journey time.

Upper house candidate for the South Eastern Metropolitan Nina Springle said the experience demonstrated just how dire the situation had become for commuters.

“The sad truth is that we’ve become desensitised to overcrowding, we think it’s normal and expected, but it shouldn’t be,” Ms Springle said. “But [overcrowding] honestly doesn’t come as a surprise.

We’ve knocked on almost 8000 doors in the south east and the top issue that comes up is public transport.”

Greens candidate for Frankston Jeanette Swain agreed the train system was in urgent need of upgrade.

“This campaign really highlighted how frustrating travel after work can be, when all you really want to do is relax and take a breather,” Ms Swain said.

“How can we adequately promote public transport as the best mode of transport when the experience mirrors a

tin of sardines? It’s not fair to everyday commuters.

“The old parties are so out of touch with commuters, and it’s just not good enough.”

Ms Springle said both the major parties were attempting to make commuters think that standing for half an hour or more on a train was ‘normal’ and rather than spending billions on projects such as the East West Link, the government should be investing in improving public transport infrastructure and improving those services.

“With the balance of power, the Greens will push for improvements to our public transport system,” Ms Springle said.

“We’ll push for more trains at busy times, extending peak hour frequency, and an increase in capacity and efficiency through fast-tracking investment in signalling.

However, state member for Mordialloc Lorraine Wreford has defended the Coalition’s record in improving conditions for commuters on the Frankston line.

Ms Wreford said “ten weekly morning peak train trips” had been added on the Frankston line since the Coalition assumed power in 2010 which had significantly eased overcrowding.

“That’s an increase of 8.3 per cent,” Ms Wreford said. “More broadly, we’ve added 191 new Frankston Line services, which means there’s a train every 10 minutes, seven days a week.

“Under Labor, 23.2 per cent of trains were overcrowded, and punctuality fell to 62.6 per cent. Now, less than 9 per cent of trains are overcrowded and more than 91.5 per cent are on time.”

Unions target voters in marginal electorates Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au UNIONS will urge Frankston and Carrum voters to “put Napthine last” at next month’s state election as part of a campaign to “knock off” the Coalition state government.

Union members will be stationed at polling booths in the two marginal electorates on 29 November alongside political party volunteers who traditionally hand out ‘how to vote’ leaflets.

Trades Hall Council secretary Luke Hilakari said nurses, paramedics, teachers and firefighters would ask voters to vote put the Napthine government last on their ballot papers as some voters made a final decision on how to vote.

He said union members would not be encouraging voters to opt for Labor as part of the campaign despite campaigning against the Coalition government.

“People can make their own minds up,” Mr Hilakari said.

“We won’t be handing out ‘how to vote’ cards but we will be encouraging people to vote against a government that has dudded public sector workers on pay and conditions.”

The state government and unions have been unable to resolve a longrunning dispute over pay rises and staffing levels for paramedics and firefighters ahead of the election.

About 200 union members including nurses, paramedics, teachers and firefighters took to Frankston and Carrum streets last weekend to visit homes in Frankston and Carrum as

part of a “doorknocking blitz… to knock off the government”, according to the Trades Hall’s ‘We Are Union’ website.

Frankston and Carrum are two of six marginal seats being targeted by Trades Hall in the final weeks before the state election.

The bayside seats of Mordialloc and Bentleigh will also be targeted

by Trades Hall with Bellarine and Monbulk also on the hit list.

Mr Hilakari said the Victorian Electoral Commission “is fine” with union members attending polling booths.

“It’s the first time we’ve done this since the ‘Your Rights At Work’ campaign seven years ago,” he said.

That union-led campaign against

WorkChoices was regarded as influential in defeating the Howard government at the 2007 federal election and helping former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd into power.

Former Liberal, now independent, Frankston MP Geoff Shaw said he had met paramedics earlier this month to discuss their concerns.

“Having respect for paramedics in our state doesn’t need to only be demonstrated through higher pay or benefits,” Mr Shaw said.

“Whilst higher pay and benefits are ideal, we can also be taking steps to reduce the stress and high workload of our emergency health staff through improving the system within which they work.”

Mixed group: Members of Mornington churches and a Langwarrin-based mosque gathered to hear their respective leaders speak about peace and tolerance.

Peace cake fuels faith fest CHRISTIANS and Muslims have gathered in Mornington “to demonstrate harmony, respect and tolerance”.

Members of the congregation of the ‘Bait-ul-Salam’ (House of Peace) mosque, Langwarrin, were at St Peter’s Anglican Church to hear their respective church leaders speak about how Islam and Christianity promote peace and tolerance in the society.

Imam Syed Wadood Janud and Archdeacon Emeritus Philip Newman symbolically cut a cake emblazoned with the Ahmadiyya motto: ‘Love for

All, Hatred for None’.

The meeting on Saturday 11 October was attended by more than 80 congregants from St Mark’s Uniting Church, Mornington Church of Christ, St Peters and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, whose headquarters are at the Langwarrin mosque.

Father Newman said he was “truly honoured and delighted” to host the visit by Ahmadiyya Muslims.

“I believe that such visits will break the walls of misconceptions, misun-

derstandings and fears.”

Imam Janud said members of the various church groups were “passing through some troubled times, where faith is either completely neglected or being misinterpreted for political gains”.

He said the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community “preaches and practices the fundamental principle: that before discharging the rights of God, we must discharge the rights of fellow human beings”.

Media watch: News crews scrambled to HMAS Cerberus during a bomb scare at the naval base last Thursday afternoon. Picture: Yanni

Navy gives the all clear after lock down ROUTINE checks of an able seaman’s living quarters last week revealed hazardous materials that caused HMAS Cerberus to be locked down.

A 400-metre exclusion zone was set up around the 1517 hectare naval base on Thursday afternoon while the police bomb squad and arson detectives inspected the area where diesel fuel and fertiliser were found. Individual movements were monitored.

Superintendent Neil Paterson, of Frankston CIU, reported that a 30-year-old seaman had been arrested, but, by 5pm, the situation was said to be “normal” and no charges were laid.

It was “all quiet on the western front” once more. The materials were deemed not to be explosive. It was not known whether the seaman had tried to hide them.

A source inside the Crib Point base, who asked not to be named, said “laziness” was the probable cause of the drama.

“We have rules to follow about storing materials and they weren’t followed,” the source said.

“No one understands why people break the rules. We have special storage areas for hazardous materials but people get lazy. Instead of putting things in their proper places they don’t bother.

“It’s not excusable but it happens. It’s a breach of regulations.”

The navy is expected to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident, including a review of the seaman’s social media postings and other recent behaviour.

It is believed the sailor was being treated for a medical condition and is now being offered support. Nothing is known about his political inclinations or tendencies to violence.

Superintendent Paterson said the different materials found would be tested and, while only in small quantities, the concern was that they were found together.

About 6000 personnel train at HMAS Cerberus which has training and recreation facilities, two chapels, and small marina.

the Bauer Brief October 2014 I HAVE had a number of inquiries in regard to the progress of the $8.2 million Wedge Rd-Frankston Dandenong Rd intersection upgrade. We have been advised that on site field surveys have been completed, as has the high-level first cut of the design layout. Investigation into the location of existing services has also been completed and discussions have commenced with affected service utility providers. VicRoads stresses that this is a “significant and complex project” and it will take a lot of time to resolve design issues before physical works can commence. I have been assured that the project’s timeline targets are on track.

GREAT news that if re-elected, the Napthine Government will provide $1.5 million to upgrade facilities at Roy Dore Reserve. Improvements will include an upgrade of the clubrooms and toilet facilities, and a rebuild of the pavilion. This will benefit all casual and regular users of the reserve, including the CarrumPatterson Lakes Football Club, Auskick, Carrum Cowboys Football Club (Super-Rules) and Carrum Cricket Club.

IT was a pleasure to host two very special centenarians at the annual Century Club afternoon tea at Parliament House as part of Senior’s Week celebrations. Esme Donnell and Doris Quick, both of Seaford, are just two of around 1000 Victorians who are members of this elite club. I started the Century Club four years ago, and we have since hosted more than 200 centenarians at the event.

PREMIER Denis Napthine was given a warm welcome by children at Carrum Childcare Centre for an announcement that his government has committed $1.6 million for a new integrated children’s centre.

The State Government grant will add to the $2.45 million investment by the Kingston City Council for the $4.05 million project which will create an integrated service hub with kindergarten and longday care rooms that have the capacity to care for 106 children, maternal and child health consulting rooms and allied health services.

THE Carrum Electorate Good News award aims to recognise people in our electorate who have achieved great things or worked hard in the community. Winners have included: Matt Semmens from Carrum Coast Guard; Shirley Wragge, a volunteer with the Frankston Hospital Pink Ladies for 46 years; young ballerina Emily Bray; and David and Evelyn Neale, who have dedicated more than 50 years to the Carrum community. All worthy winners.

Volunteer shows intense care VOLUNTEER Dorothea Wagner is a calm and friendly presence in one of Frankston Hospital’s highest pressure wards – the intensive care unit.

As one of six volunteers who meet, greet and assist the relatives of seriously ill ICU patients, it is Ms Wagner’s job to provide a calm face within often highly stressful situation.

ICU nurse unit manager Sue Reaper said Ms Wagner and her colleagues had been carefully chosen for their skills and personalities.

“They are perfect fits for a role that requires very special people,” Ms Reaper said. “They are a valued part of the ICU team providing support for both visitors and staff.”

“They are more than a friendly face. They provide a calm and helpful service for the relatives of our patients who are often under a great deal of stress.

Having stopped working full time, Ms Wagner said volunteering at the ICU was the “perfect role”.

“After stepping back from full time employment I wanted to do something worthwhile with my time and volunteering at Frankston Hospital was just what I was looking for,” she said.

“I have always been in the caring profession but I had never thought about becoming a volunteer until someone suggested it.

She said she thrived on the busy environment within the ICU, where every day was different.

“As a volunteer I do bits and pieces such as providing assistance, giving out written information, helping in the waiting room and making visitors cups of tea,” Ms Wagner said.

“I especially enjoy being there as support and help for the relatives of patients. It is very satisfying when I go home knowing I have helped,” Ms Wagner said.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer is urged to contact Community Participation on 9788 1536 or email CommunityParticipation@ phcn.vic.gov.au.

100 up: Seaford resident Esma Donnell, far left, meets Premier Denis Napthine at Government House with centenarians set to join the century club.

Esma joins the century club SEAFORD resident Esma Donnell is joining ‘the 100 club’.

The sprightly 99-year-old was invited to Government House this month with centenarians to celebrate the milestone birthday.

Ms Donnell has lived at Greenways Retirement Village for two years. Greenways staff said she “is extremely independent”.

“We see her most days either walking her beloved cat or generally out for a visit,” manager Lesley Hemingway said.

“Esma has told us she attributes her long life

to staying active her whole life, dancing, golfing or lawn bowls.”

Ms Donnell is an avid dressmaker and was a milliner for the Myer family in her younger years.

She enjoyed her visit to Government House to meet Premier Denis Napthine and was a “TV celebrity” for the day after Channel 9 and Channel 10 TV News crews interviewed her.

Govt flies low over aero grant

End of road for Cranbourne turn

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

FRANKSTON’S notorious Cranbourne Rd ‘P-turn’ will be removed if the Coalition government is re-elected next month.

Frankston candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead said the P-turn had “outlived its purpose” after the Peninsula Link opened last year.

“The intersection will be returned to a normal right hand lane turn, which will eliminate stress on the western side of the Cranbourne Rd intersection,” Mr Armistead said.

“Since the Peninsula Link opened the P-Turn is no longer viable and its removal will help ease the strain on our local roads and make it significantly safer.”

Mr Armistead said the community had asked for the P-Turn’s removal and he had taken the request to Premier Denis Napthine and Transport Minister Terry Mulder.

It will cost $500,000 to remove the P-Turn.

The P-turn was introduced in 2009 to ease traffic congestion at the Cranbourne Rd and Moorooduc Highway intersection.

Frankston Council wrote to VicRoads and the Roads Minister in May asking for a review of the P-turn.

TURBULENCE surrounding a $1 million infrastructure grant had Peninsula Aero Club in a tailspin last week.

The funding was approved by a department overseen by club member and Aviation Industry Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips, raising accusation of a conflict of interest.

The money – for airfield upgrades – is coming from the state government’s $20 million Victorian Regional Aviation Fund for upgrading regional public-use airport infrastructure.

Peninsula Aero Club is private and borders the outer-urban fringe. It is not classed as being regional and, strictly speaking, is not public-use.

Another point of interest was that the usually publicity hungry state government had kept details of the taxpayerfunded grant under wraps – whereas such largesse is usually greeted with much fanfare, especially with an election due next month.

Mr Rich-Phillips represents the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, which runs as far south as Baxter, near Tyabb.

He told the ABC he “sought advice from the Department of Premier and Cabinet around managing any conflicts of interest”.

“Acting on that advice, I put in place delegations so that this matter, or that any matter indeed related to that facility, was dealt with by departmental officers without any reference to me or my office,” Mr Rich-Phillips said.

He said the program applied to regional airports – those in regional

municipalities or ‘interface’ municipalities – and airports which are public use and from where aircraft operators operate.

“That's the criteria for upgrades and these are operational upgrades at airports across Victoria and that's the criteria at which this club would have been assessed,” he said.

Mornington Peninsula Shire sustainability director Steve Chapple has described the airfield as mainly a “recreational facility”.

Aero club vice president Jack Vevers last week confirmed members had approached Mr Rich-Phillips about 18

months ago for the funding but that they had been referred on to the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation.

“Yes, it’s true that we approached him, but we were quickly put at arm’s length,” Mr Vevers said. He was unaware we were going to apply and, when we did, told us, ‘I can’t deal with this’.

“We were asked to deal only with the department.”

Mr Rich-Philips operates his own plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, from the airfield and has it stored in a hangar there. He has been a member for a year.

Mr Vevers said he would be sur-

prised if the minister “knew what was in the application”.

“We asked for money to improve the whole airport precinct,” he said.

“We want to replace runway lights, widen the taxiway, replace runway cross overs, replace a damaged apron area, and a tired old staff area that’s been there 50 years.”

Asked whether the airfield was used by members of the public, he said: “All the time. It is a private airstrip but it is used daily by crayfish suppliers, charter tours and all emergency services.

We even get international visitors, and flying classes are conducted here.”

Students take on business THE Peninsula campus of Monash University has trialled program that saw business students working with Hastings traders and a public relations consultant to produce low cost marketing strategies.

“This type of interaction between businesses and university students has enormous benefits for all concerned,” Dr Fiona Newton of the university’s marketing department said.

Dr Newton said feedback from employers to the Business and Economics Faculty showed they wanted students to have “more applied and soft skills”.

“We have established a business degree at the peninsula campus that specifically focuses on bridging the theory-application gap and providing students with opportunities to work with business from day one.”

She said businesses were “giving their time to develop the next generation of business students and also leveraging an untapped source of assistance”.

“It also highlights the fact that the peninsula has an innovative business degree program right on its doorstep that is implementing cutting edge pedagogy,” Dr Newton said.

“Our students gain vital experience applying their theoretical knowledge to the types of business problems they will face when they graduate. At the same time, the local businesses receive valuable ideas and advice across a range of issues that they may be experiencing.”

Present art FORMER Olympic and Commonwealth Games medallist Nova Peris – now Senator for the Northern Territory – received a traditional welcome last week when she visited Baluk Arts.

The Mornington Aboriginal Arts Centre is one of only two Aboriginal community art centres in Victoria. The not-for-profit organisation returns proceeds from the sale of artworks to the artists, helping them buy materials, equipment, studio space and support.

Senator Peris met artists with works on display, including Tracy Roach, Ray Thomas, Bob Kelly and Lisa Waup, and children from the Bunjilwarra Koorie Alcohol and Drug Healing Service.

Ms Roach designed her present - a scarf titled ‘Women’s Business’. Ray Thomas, who won a 2013 Victorian Indigenous Art Award, gave Senator Peris two autographed prints for her children, Destiny and Jack.

The visit was organised by Frankston law firm Maurice Blackburn, whose staff had presented Senator Peris with a gift from Baluk Arts to thank her for speaking at a women’s lawyers function in Melbourne earlier that day.

“We are really pleased that we helped arrange for Senator Peris to meet with members of our local indigenous community so that she could see some of the great work they are doing, and also hear of the issues and concerns that are most important to them,” Canda Glanville, principal of the law firm’s Frankston office, said.

NINE thousand cubic metres of sand will be dredged from sandbanks off Sorrento and transferred to the beach as part of major beach renourishment works beginning this week.

While Sorrento has not suffered the scale of erosion recorded at neighbouring Portsea, where a 70-metre seawall is being built to help reduce the loss of sand after large sections of the beach were washed away, winter seas have resulted in significant movement of sand offshore.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the project, which will be the first renourishment works undertaken at Sorrento 1979, would not only ensure the popular beach was “bigger and better” in time for summer, but would also help prevent further erosion.

“The renourishment of the beach will help to stabilise dunes, provide a buffer against coastal erosion and create a wider recreational area for the community to enjoy and will also help to protect the existing coastal walking path,” Mr Dixon said.

The works, which were due to begin on Monday 20 October, are scheduled to take about five weeks, depending on weather conditions.

While the public will have full access to the beach on weekends, some sections of the beach will be restricted during weekdays from 7am to 6pm.

Mr Dixon said dredging had been assessed as being the best option for restoring sand to Sorrento beach.

“There are three ways to renourish a beach: relocate the sand from one end of the beach to the other, bring the sand in or dredge sand,” he said.

“The option of using dredged sand was supported by the community for Sorrento because of the sand supply available from the nearby sand-

bars and the success of a previous dredging program at this location.

The dredger will work in a westerly direction from the Sorrento Sailing Club towards The Baths restaurant.

The dredged sand will initially be of a darker colour but will gradually lighten to blend with the existing sand within three to four weeks of being placed on the beach.

The project is being undertaken by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, with financing from the state government.

“This community project is part of the Victorian Coalition Government’s $9.54 million Protection of Port Phillip Beaches and Foreshores program, delivering better protected foreshores and beaches from coastal erosion while providing safe and enjoyable beaches for locals and visitors alike,” Mr Dixon said.

Sorrento beach, which faces north-east, has fared far better than north-facing Portsea beach, which has experienced severe erosion since 2009 following the commencement of extensive channel deepening works in Port Phillip in 2008.

It is believed dredging affected wave patterns within the bay, with Portsea bearing the brunt on the southern peninsula.

The state government has ordered a wave monitoring survey to determine the cause of the altered wave patterns.

Mr Dixon attended a community consultation session in Sorrento in May which was called to seek “local input” into how best to carry out the planned renourishment works.

Rosie ponders foray into politics

NO CO-PAYMENT We Bulk Bill Concession Card & Children upto 16 years old

Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au ROSIE Batty has rejected speculation she could make a tilt for the seat of Hastings at the upcoming state election but confirmed she would weigh up a possible role politics some time in the future “when the time is right”.

The mother of murdered 11-year-old Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty had been rumoured to be considering running as an independent in November’s state election after confirming she was “tempted” to pursue public office.

However, Ms Batty told The Times there was no chance she would be entering the political arena any time soon, with her attention firmly focussed on next week’s coronial inquest into the murder of Luke by his father Greg Anderson at Tyabb in February.

“I certainly haven’t ruled out [entering politics] but that’s a decision for the future,” she said. “The timing right now is not right.

“All my attention has been on preparing for the inquest. That’s been my key focus for a long time now and it has taken a lot of time to work through all the details and issues involved.

“But I’ll start considering my options after that.”

State Coroner Ian Gray is investigating the circumstances leading up to Luke’s death, which include outstanding arrest warrants and breaches to intervention orders against Anderson after he subjected the family to years of violence.

The coronial inquest, which will run for about ten days from 20 October before convening again in December, will examine any shortcomings in how police and the Department of Human Services handled the case.

Ms Batty has been credited with putting family violence at the top of the political agenda in the lead-up to the state poll, with both major parties announcing major policy initiatives to address the issue.

Her efforts in drawing attention to “systemic failures” in the treatment of victims of family violence have also led to her nomination for the 2015 Australian of the Year awards.

The National Australia Day Council last week named Ms Batty as a Victorian finalist for the award, praising her “incredible strength and selfless efforts” in providing a voice to the “many thousands of victims of domestic violence who had until then remained unheard”.

Premier Denis Napthine said he would welcome any political foray mounted by Ms Batty as he unveiled a $150 million policy package aimed at curbing family violence.

“If Rosie Batty wishes to nominate she would be most welcome to nominate,” Dr Napthine said on Saturday as he announced details of a “comprehensive” family violence “action package” that includes provision for a trial of GPS monitoring for high risk offenders perpetrators.

Ms Batty said she had received strong encouragement to stand for public office in the process of holding “constructive meetings” with a wide range of politicians and public officials while pushing for changes to family violence policy.

However, she would need to be convinced politics was the most effecting means of achieving the changes she wants to see.

“When I first lost Luke and spoke out about the family violence issue, a number of people suggested I think about politics, but that seemed ludicrous at the time,” she said.

“But since then, I’ve met with the major parties and talked to a lot of people about the issues surrounding family violence so I’ve seen the sort of effect I can have through politics.

“If I have been able to inspire this level of focus on family violence, then politics is certainly something I will consider, but whether that turns about to be the most effective role I can play remains to be seen. I’ll need to do a lot of research because I really don’t have any idea of what would be involved.”

committed to by the state opposition, which include convening a Royal Commission into family violence, Ms Batty said there was “a long way to go” before the issue received the level of attention and financial support required.

“It’s a huge step forward but we need to continue to push for more change and more investment in the area,” she said of the Coalition’s latest family violence package. We desperately need more funding in areas like crisis support services because there is simply not enough assistance out there for women and children who have been subjected to this sort of violence.

“I really support [the ALP’s plan for] a Royal Commission into family violence because there has been a huge failure and it needs to be thoroughly looked into to find out how it can be fixed.

“Too many woman and children have been needlessly killed and it can’t go on.”

The Coaltion’s family violence prevention package includes:  A $41 million prevention campaign;  Expanded crisis accommodation support for women and children, a new multi-disciplinary centre combining police, sexual assault and family violence experts and child protection staff;  Outreach teachers to work with children fleeing family violence;  A trial of GPS monitoring of high risk perpetrators;  Additional legal and advocacy support for women;  Behaviour change programs for men in prison as a result of family violence;  Specialist staff in courts to assist victims and perpetrators of violence through the court processes; and  Improved and expanded post-crisis support for women and children.

Dr Napthine said the new investment doubled family violence funding since the Coalition came to office and would make a real difference in preventing violence and keeping women and children safe, in addition to holding perpetrators to account.

“Victorians, particularly women and children will be safer as a result of this comprehensive, whole-of-government strategy that tackles this insidious crime at all levels,” Dr Napthine said.

“These new initiatives address the causes of family violence, they educate the community, they provide support services for victims and they hold perpetrators to account.”

Announcing details of the proposed trial of the electronic tracking of high-risk offenders, Attorney-General Robert Clark said GPS technology had the potential to improve safety and confidence for victims of family violence while also making perpetrators realise their movements were being monitored and recorded.

“This new technology to protect against family violence will now be the subject of a comprehensive trial,” Mr Clark said.

Braces bagged in both bays Beach volunteers out to protect ‘hoodies’

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE fishing really ramped it up this week, with both Port Phillip and Western Port firing and many anglers bagging a brace.

For those that are yet to turn a reel don't despair, the season is young and the days are getting longer.

This week the schools of fish moved quite quickly and the aim of anglers was to find ground with multiple schools of fish and burley up. Consistent burley was the key and smaller bait sizes were the go.

I found strips of squid and whole small pilchards were the go.

Snapper snatchers were effective, especially when sweetened with squid rings.

Running sinker rigs with single and double 4/0 hooks accounted for most fish.

James Rodgers of Unreel Fishing charters has been getting among the snapper off Cowes, sweep in Bass Strait and squid from the north end of Western Port.

Anglers hitting Cat Bay have been getting a few snapper and squid, while Lysarghts, Eagle Rock and Cowes are producing snapper.

Port Phillip this week has seen some great catches. For the best results fish from 19m in front of Mt Martha and gradually move it shallower till you get 6m off Williamstown.

For those land locked and in search of the red fish all land based structures from Mt Martha Rocks to Kerford Rd pier are worth a crack. Fish at times of low light and be patient.

After a strong change and on a rising barometer are prime times.

VOLUNTEERS are gearing up to protect hooded plovers nesting on the Mornington Peninsula’s beaches.

The hooded plover is regarded as Australia’s most threatened beachnesting bird and last year just one chick was recorded as surviving on the peninsula.

Parks Victoria Ranger Martin Downs described last year’s outcome as “particularly bad”, with just the one chick surviving from 59 nests which collectively had more than 150 eggs.

Mr Downs dogs being roaming on beaches where they were not allowed had contributed to the high mortality rate.

“People found with their dogs off lead often say that their dog is well behaved, but any dog is seen as a threat by these birds when they come very close to their nests,” he said.

“They can accidentally crush the eggs and have been known to play with and kill the chicks. There are simply too many dogs passing by and frightening the birds off their nests, and this leads to the eggs cooking on the hot sand in summer.”

Birdlife Australia held a workshop in Sorrento last month for new volunteers and now has 15 new “hoody recruits” on its books.

Coasts and marine program manager with BirdLife Australia, Dr Grainne Maguire, says that half of the hooded plover breeding pairs had already started nesting on the peninsula back beaches.

“Hooded plovers are masters of

camouflage and cleverly hide their eggs from known predators such as gulls, ravens and kestrels. But where humans are concerned it makes it very hard to know where the nests are located and to avoid disturbing them,” Dr Maguire said.

Parks Victoria and BirdLife Australia are erecting signs and fencing around active nest and chick areas to show beachgoers which areas are vulnerable and need to be given plenty of space.

Dr Maguire said people should not to walk outside of fenced tracks or over dune edges to the beach.

“They should stay closer to the water’s edge so as not to disturb the birds and their nests.”

In brief

Noisy nesters: The lorikeet is the only parrot in the world with a tongue that has lots of little barbs on it. This tongue is perfectly adapted to mop up pollen and nectar from native flowers. Pictures: Steve Duke, left, and Ian Sanderson

Colourful and noisy RAINBOW Lorikeets can be a frustrating backyard visitor at times, due to their loud screeching and the chaotic noise they create when they get together in their roosting trees.

The noise can be a bit much sometimes but the good news is that many of these flocks are dispersing as they spread out to look for nests.

“Right now lorikeets in Frankston and across the Mornington Peninsula are looking for good nesting spots to raise their chicks,” Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said.

or roosting trees or when they become victims on our roads. Remember to slow down when there are native animals around and leave big, old trees in your garden—unless they are dangerous, of course. Just a few simple things you do can make such a positive difference for not just Rainbow Lorikeets, but all sorts of wildlife.”

Ms Bradshaw said lorikeets should not be fed honey or sugar “as it can make them ill”.

“Feeding them bread can also cause problems, so let them find their own food as they are very good at it.”

“They will be starting to nest in tree hollows or nest boxes and both parents will take care of the chicks.

“These lorikeets are noisy communicators because they usually hang out in large groups, so they have a lot of other voices to compete with.”

Ms Bradshaw said male lorikeets were often seen “locked in battle, rolling in the dust on the ground … settling territorial disputes”.

“Yes it’s true that rainbow lorikeets can be noisy little blighters at times, but humans can be just as troublesome for them if we cut down their nesting

NEWS DESK

Asylum seekers find voice on peninsula Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au A FORUM to discuss Australia’s deeply divisive treatment of asylum seekers will be held this weekend at Mornington, with respected refugee advocate and best-selling author Najaf Mazari to deliver a keynote address.

The forum, which will take place on Sunday 26 October at Padua College’s Mornington campus, is being presented by community advocacy group Peninsula Voice, which recently hosted the highly successful domestic violence forum featuring Rosie Batty and police chief Ken Lay. The upcoming event aims to dispel the myths surrounding asylum seekers and present a human face to refugees in light of the polarising political debate that has led to Australia’s increasingly inhumane treatment of “boat people”.

The forum will also feature a candid videotaped interview with respected human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, who describes the journey detailed in Najaf Mazari’s book, The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif, as “the story of all refugees”.

Najaf was tortured and escaped certain death after fleeing from Northern Afghanistan in 2001 during the Taliban genocide of Hazara men.

He was chosen by village elders as the man most likely to succeed in making the dangerous journey to a safe country and therefor carry on the cultural history of the village.

To fulfil his mission, he was forced to leave his wife and six-month-old daughter behind.

But after fleeing overland to Pakistan, then to Indonesia and finally by boat to the supposed “Lucky Country”, Najaf discovered not freedom but rather the brutal dehumanising hell of Australia’s punitive asylum seeker system from within the notorious Woomera detention centre.

Like the vast majority of so-called “illegals” subjected to the trauma of indefinite detention, Najaf’s claim for asylum was found to be valid.

He was granted Australian citizenship in 2007 and eventually settled in Melbourne where he wrote his story, which was the first full booklength account of an asylum seeker’s journey.

The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif proved a huge success and sold more than 50,000 copies. It is currently in its fifth printing and was a VCE text for Victorian high school students from 2010-2013.

Najaf has now come full circle - from community leader in his home village in Northern Afghanistan to highly respected leader within the Australian community where he provides a voice and human face for not just his own people, but all refugees.

Despite the unnecessary hardships inflicted by his adopted land, Najaf describes Australia as “a land that I love in the way a man loves a friend who saved his life”. He says he continually wonders why he has been so lucky and “chosen to prosper”.

“Why did my troubles catch the eye of God?” he asks.

Peninsula Voice chairman said the event aimed to provide an uplifting experience in which attendees would be able to meet “a truly inspirational character” who provided “a different way

Leading the way: Peter Orton with Najaf Mazari, his wife Hakeema and his daughter Maria.

to look at the position of the refugee”.

“Peninsula Voice is presenting this forum to demonstrate how many asylum seekers can, and do make a valuable contribution to Australia,” Mr Orton said.

“It’s also an effort to provide some balance in the rhetoric used when referring to asylum seekers into Australia.

“The 2013 election was the first time in our political history when both sides of politics sought to gain political advantage, by promising cruelty to a particular group of individuals. We believe this should never happen in a wealthy country like Australia.”

He said both major political parties were fighting to demonstrate who could most effectively deny asylum seekers’ from ever reaching Australia. “‘We will stop the boats’ is the catchcry used to demonstrate who can be the most-cruel.”

“Language such as ‘queue jumpers’, ‘illegals’ and ‘economic migrants’ is used to identify asylum seekers as somehow breaking the law and therefore should be treated as criminals and punished,” Mr Orton said, adding that 99 per cent of asylum seekers ended up having their claims upheld and being accepted as genuine refugees “The term ‘queue jumpers’, if anyone cares to

look at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website today, looking for the address of the Australian Embassy in Afghanistan, you will be advised the address is not available for security reasons. Not much of a queue if is not available. It is also pretty hard to wait in a queue, when you are running for your life,” Mr Orton said.

“As for the term ‘illegals’ – how is it breaking the law to seek asylum from persecution?”

He said the number of asylum seekers seeking to come to Australia was small by any measure.

“It is miniscule by international standards and by our demographic standard; the largest number of refugees to come to Australia by boat in any one year, in the last 30 years, was 25,000,” Mr Orton said.

“By comparison, we accept 200,000 permanent migrants each year and there are umpteen thousand 457 visa holders coming to Australia each year. We are currently accepting 13,000 refugees, a number which is tiny compared with other developed countries around the world.

“Worse still, we are expecting countries like Nauru to accept a couple of thousand refugees, a number which would represent a 20 per cent increase in their population. Why are we acting like the bully in the region? Why is it so hard for

us to accept such a small number of refugees as a percentage of our population?”

He said the cost of Australia’s “cruelty campaign” against refugees was also disturbing, especially in light of the current economic climate where cut backs are being implemented in basic services. “$4.5 billion dollars each year to be cruel to refugees? What a dreadful waste of money, money which could be used for a positive outcome,” he said. “I suspect we will look back at this period of our history and say, what possessed us to have accepted to be led so badly.

“What has changed? Australia was a lot more welcoming of asylum seekers prior to 2009. Why are we less inclined to provide safe refuge for those fleeing persecution now? We have opened our boarders many times before over the last 50 years to welcome those in need. Strangely, we are now wealthier, but less inclined to help the most vulnerable.”

The forum is on at 2.30pm on Sunday 26 October at Ursula Frayne Hall, Padua College, Oakbank Rd, Mornington. For bookings contact Mornington Community Information and Support Centre on 5975 1644 or see www.trybooking.com/105995

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mordialloc tragedy evidence given Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE many friends of Mrs Maxwell, of Frankston, will regret to hear the death of her mother, which occurred at Geelong a few days ago *** AFTER a rather prolonged absence Mrs and Miss O’Grady have again taken up their residence in Frankston. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon near the pier, weather permitting. A collection will be taken up in aid of the hospital. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held in the Tyabb Hall on Monday evening next, for the purpose of making arrangements for holding the annual sports meeting at Tyabb. *** THE request for extra police protection at Frankston has been acceded to, and Constable Bill , from the City, has been stationed here for the summer months. *** THE members of All Saints Church, Tyabb, intend making an effort to clear off the debt existing on their church, on Friday and Saturday next, when they will hold an “All Nations” Fair, in the Hall. A good programme of amusement will be provided each evening, and the stalls will be wellstocked with a variety of fancy and other goods, which will be offered to the public at moderate prices. *** AMONGST the men in camp in the

4th Battalion of the New South Wales Imperial Force, is an old boy of the Frankston State school in the person of A. R. B Ferguson, who has been appointed a Corporal in C. Company. *** THE Monolyte Ltd., (reinforced concrete company) have purchased from Mrs L. Draper a portion of her stud area at Seaford, and intend opening up a sand pit and erecting tile works on the site. The Railway Department are putting in a siding to the sand pit. *** THIS evening (Saturday) a farewell social and presentation will be given to the soldiers leaving for the war from the Somerville district in the Fruitgrowers Hall. A charge of Is will be made for admission, which will go towards the Belgium Relief Fund. *** THE anniversary of the Somerville Methodist Church will be celebrated on Sunday and Monday next. On Sunday, the Rev. E. J. Watkin, D.D., will preach in the afternoon and evening. There will be special singing by the choir. At the afternoon service a golden offering will be taken up. On Monday evening the Rev. Dr Watkin will deliver his stirring and popular lecture on ‘Our Empire’ in the Mechanics Hall. As the lecturer has the reputation of being a fine speaker there will doubtless be large attendances at both services on Sunday and at the lecture on Monday. *** THE idea of each District School Inspector appointing a Treasurer to

receive Patriotic subscriptions from children throughout this particular district has been found to work admirably. An enthusiastic central meeting was held. Mr Armitage handed over £3 to commence the fund and the promise of a liberal monthly salary donation, and thus started the ball rolling, Teachers and children from little mountain schools, not to mention larger establishments, poured in voluntary subscriptions from salaries and other donations. So prompt and liberal was the response that in a few days Mr Edwards was able to report “£150 received”, this good work is still continuing. *** ON Saturday Mr John Leson of Cowes, while working at the Naval Base, met with a very nasty accident. The horse he was driving bolted, jamming him against a truck At first it was thought he was seriously injured, but upon being examined, it was found he had escaped any broken bones, but was badly bruised. We are pleased to relate that he was able to resume his duties in a couple of days.

Mr J. Coshlan, a very old resident of this locality, escaped from what may have been a very serious accident.

At the present time the Railway Department is busy relaying the line with heavier rails, and there are two or more gangs of men at work unloading the trucks. Mr J. Coshlan being at the end of a rail, by some unusual manner the rail slipped and he was thrown a distance in the air, coming down between two trucks.

It was a most miraculous escape.

However the sufferer, who has our sympathy, after being examined by the doctor, was found to be badly bruised and his left leg smashed. *** The Mordialloc Tragedy. Evidence at the Coroner’s Inquest.

THE circumstances surrounding the double tragedy which took place at Mordialloc on 10th October (says the Age) involving the death of Priscilla Henderson Warwick. 12 years of age, and Harold Leslie Matthewran, 25, both of 122 Park Street, South Yarra, were investigated on Tuesday at the City Morgue by the Coroner (Dr Cole). Frederick Henry John Matthewran, residing at South Melbourne said the deceased man was his brother. Witnesses last saw him alive in June. Deceased was born in London, but had spent many years in Seattle, U.S.A., whence he came to Melbourne in December, 1899. He was of a cheerful, disposition, did not drink to excess as far as witnesses knew, and had never threatened his own or anyone else’s life.

The Coroner found that on the 10th October, Priscilla Henderson Warwick and Harold Leslie Matthewran were found dead at Mordialloc, death having resulted from gunshot wounds, and that these wounds had been wilfully and ferociously inflicted

by Matthewran. There was not sufficient evidence to determine the state of his mind at the time. *** AT the Langwarrin North State

School, the erection of the shelter has been completed. As a more costly building has been provided than was first intended, the funds in hand were insufficient to meet the cost. A concert has been arranged to be held at the Recreation Hall on October 28th, at which some of the singing talent from Frankston and elsewhere will take part. This entertainment promises to be something really good, and patrons besides having a good evening’s entertainment will be helping to provide a necessary want at the State school.

The above school was re-opened on Monday, October 19th, after being closed for a fortnight on account of measles being so prevalent amongst the scholars. ***.

OWING to the dry season, the spring which supplies the water trough on the main road is dried up. As this is the source that supplies water to the campers and residents for the summer months it is rather a serious outlook for Dromana. A meeting will be held on Tuesday evening next to make arrangements for supplying the town with water. *** THE funeral of the late Colonel T. Bruce Hutton J.P, which was very largely attended, took place Thursday afternoon at Dandenong. Colonel Hutton had been a member of the Dandenong shire council for 30 years.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

I’ve been to Bali (part) two

By Stuart McCullough THERE’S a sign around the corner from my father’s. By the side of the Mornington Tyabb Road in a loose, spray-painted script, the sign promises ‘stable manure’ for just a few dollars per bag. What is left unsaid is whether the manure has always been stable or has achieved this through a combination of clean living and therapy. Perhaps it’s best not to ask. To tell you the truth, I’d prefer not to know the going rate for a bag of ‘unstable manure’. This is because I have a substantial fear of the stuff and will do almost anything to avoid it. This makes our decision to holiday in Bali – home of the infamous Bali belly – even more perplexing.

We were told there were two golden rules for any trip to the Indonesian holiday island. The first was ‘do not drink the water’. There is, so we were told, no quicker path to illness than to drink from the tap. We were advised to be cautious even when showering.

The second rule was simple: don’t eat after midnight. Actually, on second thought, the second rule might not be so much from the travel guide as it is from the movie ‘Gremlins’. Still, it’s not a bad rule. As for the water, my sister in law pointed out that in trying to avoid drinking the water, we should avoid ice at all costs.

Truth is, I dislike ice intensely. It is because of this deep-seated hatred that I cannot sit through an entire screening of the film ‘Frozen’. Although such enmity might seem totally il-

PAGE 38

logical to most people, I can simply say that I grew up in the 1990s. The nineties weren’t just about flannel shirts and grunge millionaires whining about their parents – people often forget there was a dark side too. To this day, I carry the scars of Vanilla Ice’s deep-chilled slap to the head, ‘Ice, Ice Baby’. When you consider the kind of damage wreaked by that hideous

Frankston Times 20 October 2014

assault on the ears, it’s little wonder that I have a lasting fear of the stuff.

So when my sister in law suggested I avoid it, I readily agreed.

We have been in Ubud for all of three minutes when our hosts return with two glasses of ice tea. To be frank, if it were a competition between ‘ice’ and ‘tea’ for ultimate supremacy, the ice would have the tea pinned

to the mat, it’s limbs splayed like a chicken, and begging for mercy. I can hear it clinking against the glass as our beverages are set before us. Our hosts are smiling. Either I can insult them by sending it back, or I can risk unstable manure and the seven kinds of hell that gastroenteritis can bring. I don’t want to risk making a scene. I drink up and hope for the best.

Luckily for us, neither my wife and I start melting like the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz. It seems like a small miracle. To endure ice, ice baby and survive feels like an act of defiance. Perhaps all that Vanilla Ice has built up my tolerance levels.

Having flown six hours to get here and having travelled a further hour by road, we are both exhausted. We go to bed at an unreasonably early hour.

It’s our first full day in Bali and the mission is simple: relax. It’s easier said than down. Truth is, I find it a little difficult to unwind. That’s because I grew up in the 1980s where, for about six months, a group of Liverpudlians who called themselves Frankie Goes to Hollywood urged the world to ‘Relax’. For me at least, it was a message that would fall on deaf ears. Just as Vanilla Ice would all but destroy the nineties, Frankie Goes to Hollywood pretty much ruined the eighties for me. Well, them and Haysi Fantayzee.

But we weren’t about to leave something as important as ‘relaxation’ merely to chance. No sir. My wife had booked me a massage. This, she

assured me, would assist me to unwind. Let me be clear: I’ve had massages before. I don’t mind a little poking, prodding, kneading and knotting.

But when the moment comes and I step into the specially segregated massage area, I feel I might be in trouble.

It starts with the music. For anyone who might work in the massage industry, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the music you use is horrible. That floating, airy-fairy nothingness doesn’t take anyone’s mind off their troubles, it makes them wonder how they can get to the stereo without being noticed. Even Vanilla Ice and Frankie Goes to Hollywood would be a welcome relief. Then there’s the matter of my masseuse.

He is exactly half my size. And bony. Over the next three hours he wedges his knuckles into every nook and cranny. I feel like he’s using me as a human Rubik’s cube. Suddenly, I realize that the music isn’t meant to make me feel clam; it’s meant to stifle the sound of my screaming. When I’m released, I feel like a Picasso painting, with various pieces of my anatomy having now been relocated. I attempt to scratch my ear only to find that it’s now midway down my lower back. In fact, I’m in so much agony that I must swallow my pride along with a fist full of paracetamol and ask for the one thing that I have sworn never to ask for: ice. It comes in a bag and I place it strategically across my various limbs, wherever I find them. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FROM BERLIN TO CHELSEA HEIGHTS, BRITISH INDIA ARE BACK IN TOWN! When PEARL last caught up with British India lead singer and guitarist Declan Melia and the band were just beginning to work on songs for their next album.

Fast forward six months and Melia along with band mates Matt O’Gorman, Will Drummond and Nic Wilson have just returned from Berlin, Germany where they recoded their new album, off which the first single will be released later this month with the album to follow next year. The Bayside boys are also returning to their old stomping ground to play a show at Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday 24 October.

PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Melia about British India’s new single and spring tour, which includes two shows supporting the Rolling Stones.

PEARL: When we spoke back in March you were beginning to work on your new album and you said the recurring theme so far was airports and travel/ beginnings and endings. Is this still true or did it change as you continued to work on the album?

MELIA: Yeah it bubbled to the top pretty strongly. I’d made a conscious decision to try and work on the lyrics for this album pretty quickly and not to self-edit too much.

There’s two different processes for writing- one is to labour over it and one is to do it quite quickly, and when that happens you do end up with a lot of similar themes as you mentioned, and the theme of travel and distance especially is really rich.

PEARL: What was it like recording in Berlin and what made you choose to record over there?

MELIA: Berlin was an attractive aspect but we really wanted to work with this Australian producer who we’ve worked with before in Melbourne but he happened to be in Berlin. However right from when we got off the plane in Berlin, we kind of felt like British India where exactly

where they want to be and exactly where they need to be- a lot different from when we made the first record in Sydney.

PEARL: What was the best thing about Berlin? Last time we spoke you said you and Matt like to go to gigs together- did you go out and catch many German bands?

MELIA: Not German bands, we saw Parkway Corpse an American band that came through, but there’s really not much rock and roll, they’re all about electronic dance music over there which isn’t something we really get into so we didn’t go to so many gigs, but we did go out and soak up the culture. They love heavy metal so we went to a lot of heavy metal bars and listened to a lot of heavy metal records. We just lived in this house in a lovely suburb and at about midday we’d go down to the recording studio and work for a few hours, we’d have a lot of lunches, and everyone was hanging out and rocking the same headspace it was really quite peaceful. A really good recording experience.

PEARL: What can you tell me about your first single, from the new album that’s being released in October?

MELIA: It’s the most complex song on the record, it really was a departure for us from what we’d been writing, it started with a rift. It really wasn’t the kind of thing we’d done before. It was a matter of taking a song that wasn’t very British Indiary and making it British Indiary. It’s also got a bit more hope than I Can Make You Love Me. I think this record for us is a lot more complex; we’re a lot more complex whereas with Controller we were struggling with the old British India and the new British India.

PEARL: Do you have a favourite track on the album?

MELIA: The first single is my favourite track, there’s another song on it called Spidercords, which is the kind of song that the boys always wanted to write, but we didn’t

have the ability or the courage to go through with it. It’s very long and alternatively very heavy and very soft with a lot of screaming- it’s the most heavy song on the album.

I used to do a lot of shouting when we were a punk band and I sung a bit more on our last album Controller but this particular song called for a move off the wind platform.

It’s a really strange song and I’ll be interested to see what people think.

PEARL: Are you excited for the upcoming tour supporting the Rolling Stones? How did you feel when Mick Jagger asked to hear more of British India’s music?

MELIA: Surreal! It felt strange, but the thing about the Stones is that when we think of the Rolling Stones, what we think of is the live show that we’ll be doing, the massive touring juggernaut that they’ve become. It’s hard to connect that with those sixties records that we love so much. You have to remind yourself that; this is the band that did Satisfaction, they were the dark Beatles! They’re one of those bands that we can all agree are the greatest!

PEARL: The four of you grew up Bayside and on the Peninsula, are you looking forward to playing to a home crowd at Chelsea Heights Hotel?

MELIA: Chelsea and that area is where we are from, so the shows are always pretty special to us, and it’ll be a really good party vibe. We’re planning to do a few new songs and then it will just turn to the audience and whatever the audience wants to hear we’ll play.

British India plays the Chelsea Heights Hotel, Cnr Springvale Rd and Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights on Friday October 24. For further details and tickets visit chelseaheightshotel.com.au. Be sure to check facebook. com/britishindiaofficial for release details of British India’s new single!

Performance HACHETTE Australia has released the much publicised book SAS Insider

by Robert Macklin with Clint Palmer.

Palmer was an elite SAS fighter and he tells us the story on life in Australia’s toughest and most secretive combat unit.

Clint Palmer has spent much of his adult life in the SAS and has fought in this elite military unit as it developed from its fledgling beginnings into the highly trained, specialised fighting force it is today. He is an insider with the long view and this is his unique story of life in the SAS. As a bush kid in the Northern Territory of Australia, growing up in a mining town, Palmer’s best friends were mostly Aboriginal kids, and the outside world barely existed. But he always had one driving ambition - the army. Enduring the toughest of tough training, Palmer soon demonstrated his fighting capabilities and became part of the Australian SAS. So began almost thirty years of service.

We go with him to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he is at the heart of some of the worst fighting in ‘Operation Anaconda’ in the Shahi-Kot Valley in 2002.

He lets us in on what it’s like to have made well over a thousand parachute jumps, many of them in terrible conditions and into treacherous terrain which may have ended not just his career but his life. And he shares with us how this adrenalin fuelled world has become a lifelong commitment.

Palmer is the man who knows the Regiment almost better than anyone, so SAS Insider really is the inside story of the SAS - and a gripping account of one Australian soldier’s life at the sharp end.

Robert Macklin is a well-known Australian biographer and historian with more than twenty books to his credit.

His most recent books include One false move, Dark paradise and the bestselling SAS Sniper which he co-wrote with Rob Maylor.

A gripping read and extraordinary insight to the mysterious world of the SAS, with its own codes, loyalties and treacheries.

Published by Hachette Australia, RRP $35.00, E-Book RRP$19.99. www.hatchette.com.au

We have some copies of SAS insider to give away.

X-Men: Days of Future Past became the most successful of the series when it was released earlier this year, making more than $800 worldwide. X-Men: Apocalypse will be set a decade after the last instalment, when the heroic team of

mutants find a new enemy. *** AN exciting new TV show for dog lovers will hit the screen on November 7th Channel 31. Yappy Hour TV. The show will feature street talk with dog owners in the streets and parks of Melbourne hearing their funny, unusual and sincere stories.

The 49 year old actor has portrayed the character in three movies and The Avengers (2012), and is under contract for Avengers: Age of Ultron and a third Avengers film.

Captain America 3 will follow the Marvel Civil War storyline, which sees the implementation of the Superhuman Registration Act. The bill requires all people with superhuman powers to register and undergo training with the US government, and creates a divide in the superhero community.

Iron Man leads the pro-registration movement alongside Mr Fantastic and Henry Pym, while Captain America, Luke Cage and Falcon are opposed.

*** DARLING Antonella Celi, as Mayor of the Mornington Peninsula Liberal stronghold I congratulate you on a very tricky job well done. We men love our girls running the place. Julia Gillard, Julie Bishop, Maggie at the coffee shop, Sue-ellen at Bakers Delight, Mrs Stewart in Grade 4 after the shelter shed incident. Antonella, ably assisted by Cr Timmy Rogers promises “extra security in Rye around the holiday period”. Ahh, but what does this mean Antonella and Timmy? Can it be those CCTV cameras promised/ forgotten, or the reality of one extra policeman from Somerville on New Year’s Eve for 5 hours? We hold our breath. *** THE big day. 29th November. The Victorian State election. Wayne Swann promised 500,000 jobs; Tony promised a million. Stateside Denny Napthine 200,000; Danny Andrews 100,000. We look back to the last state election and see none of their promises came to pass (Teddy back then), other than the pay rise to our police.

Lots of plans, no action, a 6 kilometre road the highlight. Sadly they keep shoving these ideas in our faces, to the point where what we really believe is simply we do not believe. I always vote against rather than for regardless of the insignificance of my

vote. Obviously therefore, to me, the single most important factor is to say goodbye to Planning Minister Matthew Guy before Melbourne-centric becomes Jakarta. *** SPEAKING of viagra it transpires there are various useless fake medications being smuggled into this country; all sorts, including even dove soap and viagra tablets. Some time back in my dim and distant past I ordered some tablets on the internet; cheaper, in accord with the boy scouts motto. If darling Dolores and Cynthia and possibly even Elsie (she never said, just drifted away), all from Chelsea, are reading this kindly note - It was not my fault! Have the decency to forgive me. *** MICHAEL Leunig’s “Take one evil death cult, blend with insecurity cult, add xenophobia cult, stir in one compliant media cult, beat mixture with Prime Minister until it becomes frothy, serve with smoke and mirrors then garnish with new laws and penalties” together with John Clarke and Bryan Dawe, and the team at the ABC’s “Mad as Hell” headed by Shaun Micallef, help us maintain a decorum of perspective, sanity even, with a few belly laughs, in our present political circus. ***

A Royal Commission into Billy Shorten’s 1980’s Young Labor get together? Coalition voters will conclude “where there’s smoke there’s fire” with unlimited help from unbiased News Limited. It’s understandable to agree with the Iraq war stuff Billy but why the instant acceptance of those counter terrorism laws? *** I SEE variety and flexibility as a necessity in living a life. It was almost 30 years before I reached this conclusion. Knowing how to adapt our living patterns to society’s customs and not being bound up with these necessities in favour of your own aims can result in a marked improvement to your sense of living. It gets harder with age, particularly when taking Francis Bacon’s words as gospel ‘“I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am’”. My thinking may well be interpreted as simply always having my own way. It’s surely more than that.

Friendship is vital in the sense of a loving friendship, living gold, your wife if you’re very lucky, and one or two close friends. Never intruding, never demanding, appreciating each other’s needs and quirkiness. A balancing act. I could well have spent 50 years as a public servant, locked in, which suits some no doubt. Again Mr Bacon “Imagination is given to man

By Gary Turner

Robert Downey Jr has been on the screen since aged five in Saturday Night Live and achieved acclaim for his portrayal of the title role in Chaplin (1992) but his career in the late nineties was interrupted by drug problems and was arrested and jailed for 180 days in 2000 for violating his probation.

In 2001 he was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to remain in a live-in drug rehabilitation facility for 12 months.

His films include Less Than Zero (88), Chaplin (92), my favourite Downey Jr film Heart and Souls (93), Natural Born Killers (94), Danger Zone (95), US Marshals (98) and Good Night and Good Luck (2005).

Robert Downey Jr is the son of New York director, Robert Downey. *** AUSTRALIAN superstars John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John will perform together with the Farnham band and a 60 piece orchestra in a co-headlining tour across Australia in April 2015 on the Two Strong Hearts Tour.

John Farnham gave us the classic ‘Whispering Jack’ album which is owned by one in four Australians whilst Olivia Newton-John’s career has spanned more than five decades with hits like If Not For You, Banks of the Ohio, Long Live Love, I Love You, I Honestly Love You and If You Love Me Let Me Know.

Farnham’s recording debut was the comical Sadie the Cleaning Lady which went straight to No.1 in 1967.

They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** Winners of the Ross D. Wylie CD: Barney Fyfe – Rye Faye Williams – Chelsea Fiona Jones – Frankston

A Grain of Salt MAYBE there’s a twist to this “getting old” business, whose to know?

You depart at 60, 65 even 70 and that’s a reward for a job well done, otherwise you stay on and suffer the slow downgrades of old age as a form of punishment? Should I be grateful, to be alive? For those of us who require inspiration and meaning from the drudgery of our everyday lives kindly allow me to quote the famous words of our leader and motivator “ We will be there for as long as is necessary, but no longer than we need to be”. Thanks Lord Tony. Why one fights an un-winnable war which historically can only get worse I don’t know. Time to stock up on valium, serepax and viagra. *** ASSUMING the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and the McCrae Action Group succeed in their quest to ban the “War and Peace” proposed aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore, which at this stage looks inevitable despite Minister for Education Martin Dixon’s promise at the last election, the big question is: What will these fine people have to talk about after the event, including those letters to the editor? Perhaps they could turn their undivided attention to banning the Rye Carnival? If anyone can do it they can.

By Cliff Ellen to compensate for what he is not; a sense of humour to console him for what he is”. See? I’m meditating; must be getting ancient, or desperate? *** THE ABC’s mental health week effort good, concluding with the 3 hour variety special Crack Up, sadly abandoned to avoid the painful lovable (?) Shane Jacobson...Who decided to change the Chelsea Hotel and RSL to Longbeach?...The Abbott government to extend the royal commission into union corruption for another year-big surprise?...Why nothing from Julie Bishop on the courage of school and university students in Hong Kong?...Does the EW Link go through Toorak?...James Hird to wear a burqa?......A break from football allowing Tim Watson to come up with at least one intelligent question during 2015.....If you are unsure of the meaning of self -imposed totalitarianism worry not; you soon will be...“The country that gives up its freedom for security deserves neither” [Benny Franklin]...hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com

Reining premier gets rolled PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial Premier Mornington was rolled by Long Island in round two of the 2014-15 season on Saturday.

Expected to continue to be the measuring stick of the competition this season, the Doggies were knocked over on their home turf at Alexandra Park.

However, after making just 90 on day one of the competition, the final result wasn’t as ugly as it could have been.

Resuming at 4/101, the Islanders were expected to go after plenty of runs early on the second day before trying to attempt an unlikely outright.

However, the visitors didn’t spend a lot of time in the middle on the second day, rolled for just 128.

Long Island lost their last seven wickets for just 27 runs; Scott Phillips getting 24, Justin Bridgeman 22 and Simon Dignan 12.

Michael Heib was the influencer

with three wickets for the Dogs while Matt Foon and Luke Popov picked up a couple of wickets each.

Mornington batted the last 48 overs of the day and didn’t fare a lot better the second time around with the bat either. At the close of play they were 5/80, Brad McDonald top scoring with 27, however, Anthony Gapes and Ben Clements failed again, netting 22 and two runs respectively for the match.

The other team expected of big things this season is Mt Eliza, however, they were rolled by Langwarrin falling 16 runs short.

After a fiery encounter last week where a couple of Mounties went verbally after Kangas’ skipper Mark Cooper, there was plenty of passion in the game on day two.

The home side started extremely well with Ben Tracey and Tom Ewing sharing a 62 run opening stand, before Ewing was bowled by Jake D’Atri (2/77 off 26) for 20.

The visitors certainly enjoyed the moment when Craig Entwhistle (6)

became the first of Dwayne Doig’s three wickets (3/82 off 31) and when Tracy and Chris Wisbey fell within six runs of one another, the Mounties were on the back foot at 4/118.

Skipper Lyle House, as he has done many times over the journey, steadied the ship with 67 and together with Tristan Faithfull, helped Mt Eliza regain the ascendancy.

But when Faithfull became the first of Adrian Mack’s two victims, things started to fall apart for the Mounties.

Jason Mathers dug in at the end and tried his best to get his side over the line, however, it wasn’t good enough and Mt Eliza ran out of overs, finishing at 8/214 off 80 overs.

Sorrento picked up a comfortable outright victory against Rye. In week one, Sorrento bowled out Rye for 108 and replied to be 1/114 at stumps. The Sorras declared at 5/198 on the second day, Corey Harris top scoring with 81 and Liam O’Connor 45.

Rye was then bowled out again for 165, Sorrento recruit Luke Doyle picking up 3/13. Needing just 70 odd

runs for the outright, Sorrento got there after losing just four wickets.

Pines was welcomed into the competition’s top division with a hiding against Baxter.

The Piners did well with the pill on the opening day of the match, rolling Baxter for 142. However, at stumps they were in some strife at 2/27.

Pines was bowled out for 57. Harley Peace-Sterling was the only batsman to score double figures with 13. Dale Irving was at his best with 4/13 while Chamika Sattambi snared 2/23.

In their second innings, Baxter finished at 4/109, Todd Quinn elevated to number three and scoring 62.

Once again, Jake Prosser was the wicket taker with 2/13, giving him claims as a genuine all-rounder.

Crib Point was always going to defend its 9/305 against Moorooduc, however, they had to work for the 12 points.

The Ducs had a red hot crack and finished all out for 271.

Ben Williams opened with 48 and

shared a 42 run opening partnership with Bobby Wilson (28) and Myles Cordeux also scored 48 batting at three.

John Collison contributed 43 batting at five and Brayden Gleeson (21) and Nick Williams (32) also made solid contributions.

However, 309 was always a lofty target and losing wickets along the way and not having a player go on and score a ton made life difficult.

Brad Davidson was a star for the Pies with the ball with five wickets while Luke Herrington picked-up three wickets.

Peninsula Old Boys had every intention of going for an outright against Heatherhill but didn’t get there.

The Old Boys finished at 2/105 last week, chasing the Hill’s first innings score of 70.

The home side put the Hills straight back in on day two, however, the visitors dug their heels in and batted out the day, scoring 208. Christian Heath top scored with 69.

Whitling helps Reds cause major upset DISTRICT

By IT Gully MT MARTHA caused the upset of the round when they beat MPCA District glamour team, Somerville.

With some more than handy recruits this season including skipper Leigh Lowry and Matty Roach, big things are expected from the Eagles this season.

However, no names can replace the enthusiasm and vigour of a young and aspiring team like the Reds.

Mt Martha scored 127 runs on the opening day of the match and picked up a couple of early wickets before close of play to have the visitors 2/21 over night.

However, although the Eagles were up against the ropes to an extent, everyone expected them to come out on day two and flex their muscles.

It was Mt Martha who flexed their muscles though, Rhys Whitling leading the charge with 5/37 from 16.2 overs.

Whitling led the onslaught and with the support of Brad Schreuder (2/31), Mt Martha rolled Somerville for 126, giving them a one run first innings victory.

Aaron Kaddatz and Roach looked the likely players to get the Eagles over the line late in the innings, however, when Roach was run out for five, Whitling then claimed the last three wickets for just ten runs.

Michael Holmes scored an unbeaten 158 in Main Ridge’s big win against Baden Powell.

The Cougars rolled the Braves for 152 in week one of the match and resumed on day two at 1/128.

Main Ridge ended its innings on 282 and sent the Braves back into bat in the hope of picking up an outright win. Nathan Gay was the pick of the Baden Powell bowlers with 6/39.

The Braves finished at 8/119 in the second innings, Elia Carter top scoring with 33.

Everyone had a bowl for the Cougars in the second innings, James Abbott the best of them with 4/11.

PAGE 46

Hastings was handed a cricket lesson by the yardstick of the competition, Delacombe Park.

The Devils scored 9/242 on the first day of the match and there is no doubt they would have had one eye on an outright victory.

The Blues were bowled out for 111 in their first innings, skipper Tim Birch top scoring with 34 and Daniel Esler opening with 33. They did manage to bat for 47.4 overs.

Shane Deal was the pick off the bowlers for the Devils with 3/13 while Andrew Stapleton claimed 3/24.

In the second innings, Hastings survived to be 2/46 at stumps.

Red Hill picked up a fantastic victory against the other glamour side of the competition, Seaford.

The Hillmen scored 9/294 last week, which was always going to be a difficult task for any side chasing the total.

Seaford was capable, however, given the talent in the team.

Enter Jamie McCall, who headlined the Hillmen attack and responded with 5/57, while Luke Toy and Brent Martin claimed two wickets each.

Seaford was dismissed for 222, giving the Hillmen a solid 70 run win.

Carrum, as predicted, picked up the win against Boneo.

The Lions set the Pandas 303 for victory on the second day. Boneo was bowled out for 174, Alex Petrovic top scoring with 55 and Jack Fowler getting 53.

At one stage, the Pandas were 0/2.

Jackson Fry was brilliant for the Lions, bowling 12.1 overs for a return of 7/63. Shaun Foster claimed 2/13, including the wicket of Petrovic.

In the final game, Seaford Tigers took the points against Flinders.

Flinders set the Tigers 172 for victory and they past the total easily, finishing at 9/234.

Corey Hand top scored for the Tigers with 97, while David James scored 45 and Matty Meagher 41.

Max Royal was the pick off the Sharks’ bowlers with 5/61.

A struggle with the bat: Hastings were no match for Delacombe Park. Picture: Andrew Hurst

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Knights celebrate a rare win SUB-DISTRICT

Seconds run second: Hastings seconds struggled against Delacombe Park scoring just 89 and 49. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully THERE were plenty of celebrations at Ballam Park on Saturday night when it picked up its first victory in years against Balnarring.

The plight of the Knights has been well documented over the past three or four seasons and after their batting performance last week (104), it appeared nothing much was going to change.

However, the bowlers rose to the occasion and had Balnarring 6/51 overnight.

Despite the fact though that the Knights were in the box seat, many predicted the Saints would get themselves out of trouble and get the 54 runs required for victory.

Unfortunately for the visitors, they scored just 52 of those 54 runs, falling one run short (103).

Jacob Cook did his best for the Saints with an unbeaten 30, however, it was new recruits in Leigh Parslow (2/6) and Ryan O’Connor (2/13) who got the Knights over the line.

In the second innings, the Knights struggled again to be 6/60 at the close of play, however, we doubt they had their minds on the job after picking up such a dramatic win.

Pearcedale cruised to victory on the second day of their match against Skye in round two of MPCA Sub District cricket.

Skye was bowled out for 145 in 76 overs

on the first day of the match last week and it was never going to be enough to prevent the Dales from victory.

Pearcedale sailed to victory, losing just two wickets along the way to 178 in just 66 overs.

Matt Cousland got the ball rolling for the visitors with 35 opening the innings, before Mitch Andrew top scored with an unbeaten 77 and Chris Dew helped himself to an unbeaten half century (51).

Skye used eight different bowlers in a bid to get a result.

Rosebud successfully defended its 127 against Carrum Downs to claim victory.

The Cougars were 3/46 overnight and were bowled out early on the second day for just 93.

Adam Bryant claimed 5/37 from 26 overs for the Buds while Jason Nagel was up to his old tricks with 21.1 overs, eight maidens and 4/36.

The batting is a concern for Rosebud though, finishing on 7/95 in their second innings.

Tootgarook got the 12 points against Frankston YCW, winning by 50 runs.

The Tooters set the visitors 171 for victory after batting first last week and had YCW 2/30 overnight.

The Stonecats were eventually bowled out for 119.

Todd Harnett was the best of the Frogs’ bowlers with 5/31 from 19 overs while Zac Stevenson picked-up three wickets and and Klint James 2/1 off two overs.

Rumours of star recruits to Chelsea unfounded FOOTBALL NEWS Seagulls flying high THERE was a massive rumour doing the rounds last week that former St Kilda players Stephen Milne, Steven Baker and Lenny Hayes had all joined former teammate Brent Guerra at Chelsea.

The Gulls have already picked up Shane Valenti and Daniel Connors from Port Melbourne, as well as Shane McDonald from Bonbeach.

A Chelsea stalwart confirmed the signings.

However, exciting as this all sounds, any sane person would understand that there’s no way that these recruits can fit under the Player Points System (PPS).

With the likes of Curtis Bywater

and Fia Tootoo already three point players, the VFL and AFL connection comes with even more points.

There’s an argument to be mounted that the recruits could win games on their own, however, all jokes aside, it is unlikely.

Further to that, there was a strong word that Hayes had signed on as coach of Old Haileybury.

Watch this space I say.

Nepean back to 16 rounds THE Nepean League again made a massive blunder last week with the Board voting to go back to a 16 round competition.

The reason behind some clubs supporting the decision was to reduce the amount of games they have to pay players.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Hastings, Pearcedale, Rosebud and Rye Football Netball Clubs voted for the draw to remain the same, an 18-round competition.

Red Hill, Tyabb, Dromana, Sorrento, Frankston Bombers, Crib Point and Somerville Football Netball Clubs voted for 16 rounds and Devon Meadows didn’t submit their vote.

With the draw already compromised because it is not even, there will be some clubs who are again disadvantaged by the draw. Those who voted for the 16 rounds should have to play all the top sides twice!

The 16 round competition also means the blockbusters will be reduced.

Sometimes you wonder who makes the decisions at some of these clubs, while the board should have stayed

strong and stayed with the 18 round season.

There was one club who voted for the 16 round competition despite their coach totally against the reduced fixture.

A weak decision all round.

YCW sniffing around THE Stonecats might be the reigning premiers, however, word is they believe the other clubs are coming and they need to stay ahead of the game.

Two players on their radar are Dromana premiership players, Anthony Bruhn and Christian Ongarello.

Word is Bruhn is a done deal and the logistics are the issue with ‘Onga’ given he lives in Elwood and works in Williamstown. Expect both to lineup with the Stonecats.

On the other side of the ledger, it appears Kyle Hutchison has played his last game for the Stonecats.

There are a number of Nepean League clubs circling the talented utility.

Bombers recruit a couple THERE was talk that new Frankston Bombers coach and former Hawthorn first round draft pick beau Muston would pull quite a few players with him from Langwarrin.

Only two look like joining him, fringe players Jason Curry and Jake Smith.

The Kangas on the other hand regain Jayden Grose, Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown and Shane Paterson. They also have strong irons in the fire which could make a big difference to their list.

Frankston Times 20 October 2014

THE new Nissan X-Trail turbo-diesel is now on sale in Australia alongside the 2.0 and 2.5 petrol variants launched earlier this year.

The X-Trail range now boasts the TS and TL grades to complete the product line-up, featuring the R9M turbo diesel engine, Idle Stop/Start Technology, 96kW of power, 320Nm of torque and an impressive combined fuel consumption rating of 5.3L per 100km.

The X-Trail T32 has been awarded the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating; this rating applies to all variants. The result follows similar five-star scores for the new QASHQAI released in July and the Nissan JUKE and Pathfinder, making Nissan’s crossover range one of the safest in the Australian market.

“The X-Trail is the complete package of style, safety and economy - no wonder it’s one of Nissan’s most popular models, selling over 140,000 units locally since 2001,” said Richard Emery, Managing Director and CEO of Nissan Australia.

Jointly developed with Alliance partner Renault, the Euro 5 compliant R9M is one of the most advanced diesel engines in its segment, due to several technical innovations designed to minimise fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. The R9M engine produces the identical torque output of the previous 2.0-litre dCi unit and is considerably more efficient and cleaner. This is achieved with weight reduction of 30kg from the previous engine along with

key technology additions such as Idle Stop/Start, Variable displacement oil pump, Swirl Control valve and a High and Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system.

The low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system recycles exhaust gas at a lower temperature to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and CO2. The engine unit also features optimised thermal management that allows the engine to reach operating temperature much quicker. This, in turn, reduces friction losses when starting from cold and improves fuel efficiency.

For the R9M engine the air is drawn directly into the combustion chamber in a swirling manner helping to improve the fuel and air mix.

The swirling air results in a cleaner combustion process with minimal soot output.

Nissan has been able to make the new X-Trail more efficient by optimising the car’s aerodynamics. New aero-friendly door mirrors and an underfloor spoiler that covers the exhaust and rear panel also play their part in making the new X-Trail the most efficient ever.

The new diesel X-Trail maintains the pulling power of its predecessor, with the braked towing capacity for the 4WD manual TS and TL variants at 2000kg. All other variants have a 1500kg towing capacity.

Further to this, the inclusion of Noise Absorption Technology in the lightweight dash pad minimises engine noise into the cabin.
