23 Foster Street, Sale Gagandeep Singh, with his son Jarro, 3, and wife Phoebe in Sale.

"Gagandeep has always been legal in this country, he’s never broken the immigration laws at all.”

The minister can give or deny Gagandeep a visa, and does not have to give a reason either way.

On May 3, Phoebe told ABC Gippsland Breakfast program host Mim Hook she was feeling anxious and was surprised that the minister had not given Gagandeep a permanent visa.

“I didn’t think this would happen to us. You hear about this stuff all the time and it’s not uncommon,” she said.

“But I thought that given we’ve been together for

“We want to let the Immigration Minister Alex Hawke know that this situation hasn’t been looked at properly.”

Mr Italiano said the family should be allowed to stick together.

“The minister's failure to intervene is regrettable,” he said.

Surge staff brought in at aged care facility A LOCAL aged care residence is currently utilising surge workforce staff to deal with a COVID outbreak.

Royal Freemasons Sale has confirmed that three COVID-19 surge workforce staff commenced work at the facility on Monday, May 9.

Their arrival comes after Royal Freemasons made applications for ADF surge workforce and COVID-19 surge workforce staff at its Sale and Benalla aged-care facilities.

The surge workforce initiative was instigated at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and sees retired, part-time and under-employed health and aged-care workers deployed to areas of the sector which are under strain.

COVID outbreaks have been a persistent issue for the Royal Freemasons facility.

News of a COVID outbreak first emerged on March 26, with residents of the facility and their families informed of said outbreak via e-mail.

The Gippsland Times has confirmed that outbreaks in the facility are ongoing.

Additionally, in April the facility was sanctioned by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission

Royal Freemasons chief executive officer Kerri Rivett said that “good progress in being made” with

regard to addressing issues identified in the audit.

“A Nurse Advisor has been appointed to assist with supporting the home to meet the Quality Standards,” Ms Rivett said.

“An Education and Clinical Support Manager has been appointed and commenced Care Consultations with residents and their families to ensure care plans meet the specific ongoing needs of every resident.

“A Clinical Care Specialist and other additional clinical staff have also been appointed and have commenced Care Consultations with residents and their families to ensure care plans meet the specific ongoing needs of every resident.

“We have also commenced undertaking care consultations with every resident and their family, we aim to complete these within the next six weeks.

“We have implemented weekly resident and family communications to encourage transparent and ongoing feedback.

“We are continuing with comprehensive staff recruitment initiatives to fill vacant roles; with available staff shortages across the sector this remains a challenging space.”

GAGANDEEP Singh has been granted another temporary visa, allowing him to stay in Australia with his family.

The Gippsland Times last month broke the story of Gagandeep facing deportation to India, separating him from his wife Phoebe and their three-year-old son Jarro, who are based in Sale.

The family has received a letter of support from the Federal Member for Gippsland, Darren Chester, for a Ministerial Intervention.

The family’s immigration lawyer, Joseph Italiano, said that Gagandeep was granted a bridging visa.

“I made a repeat request to Minister Hawke on May 10, 2022 with substantial and significant new facts not before him in the first request made almost three years ago,” Mr Italiano said.

“Gagandeep’s visa expired on May 11, 2022. On May 11, he was granted a month Bridging Visa E on departure arrangements with work rights until the Ministerial Intervention Unit decides if it complies with the Minister’s Guidelines to refer to him.”

Gagandeep is now once again living in Australia on a bridging visa, but the Immigration Minister can give him a permanent partner visa by stroke of a pen. It’s not a matter before the courts.

Phoebe said that on Wednesday, May 11, Home Affairs called Gagandeep, stating his rights and entitlements on the visa.

He cannot leave Australia and must report to Immigration every month, but he is allowed to work.

“Gagandeep was relieved, but also has a lot of uncertainty feeling around it as we do not know when a decision will be made,” Phoebe said.

“It’s a temporary visa until the minister makes up his mind. Could be a week, could be three years, we have no idea. A small win, but we are happy and will continue the fight.”

Since the Gippsland Times’ story, the online petition to keep the family together went from 466 signatures to 1406 at the time of writing.

The family have also been interviewed by ABC Gippsland, Nine News and will soon be featured on A Current Affair.

“There was some confusion with some members of the public believing he was illegal in Australia, so this needs to be clarified,” Phoebe said.

AEC keeps eye on disinformation Tom Parry WITH less than a week until election day, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is combatting a rise in disinformation.

According to Australian Electorate Officer for Victoria Nye Coffey, the rise stems from a general distrust of government, which is particularly witnessed overseas and on social media.

“We’ve done a few things to combat that,” Mr Coffey said.

“You might have seem some reporting around our engagement on social media, which is probably some of the most robust social media engagement via a federal government agency.

“We do call people out on misinformation, and we also have a misinformation register – which

is on our website – which allows people to see what some of those common misinformation elements are.”

Although the AEC plays an active role in suppressing disinformation, Mr Coffey noted that the organisation’s powers only extend so far.

“One candidate going out and saying something about another candidate – while that might be true or it might not be true – is not necessarily something that we would get involved in,” Mr Coffey said.

“Where we get involved is where it’s misinformation about the process – the act of voting.”

“So if it was, for instance, telling people how to vote … or if it was purporting to be information from the Electoral Commission.”

An example of the latter would include a

much-publicised instance during the 2019 Federal Election, when signage resembling official AEC material instructed voters to preference the Liberal Party in key Melbourne seats.

The signage resulted in a Federal Court case, which ruled that the Commonwealth and the AEC needed to address the issue.

“At the time, the interpretation of the Commonwealth Electoral Act didn’t allow us to take action on that signage, but this new interpretation brought about by the Federal Court case, means that, yes, we very much would get involved if that (situation) were to occur again,” Mr Coffey said.

Anybody wishing to access the AEC’s Disinformation Register can head to www.aec. gov.au/election/disinformation-register.htm

THE state government is continuing to delay the long-awaited Traralgon bypass, utilising as excuse that would potentially delay it for decades.

Member for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien raised a question in State Parliament recently seeking an update on progress of the Traralgon bypass which has been planned for decades, but not progressed.

Mr O’Brien said he was astounded at the answer received from the Roads Minister Ben Carroll, which stated that construction of the bypass on the proposed route couldn’t be “confirmed until the final rehabilitation of the Loy Yang Mine is understood.”

“The rehabilitation of the Latrobe Valley coal mines is a complex and difficult process, and I am acutely aware that the proposed bypass does go close to the Loy Yang mine,” Mr O’Brien said.

“However, AGL doesn’t plan to close Loy Yang until somewhere between 2040 and 2045 and there is no indication of when rehabilitation plans will be approved.

“Indeed, I understand that the Labor government has said this will not occur until much closer to the closure time.

“We need this Traralgon bypass to go ahead and waiting until the mine rehabilitation plan is approved could delay it for decades. That is just not reasonable or acceptable.

“This project has been on the drawing board for decades and is only getting more urgent.”

Mr O’Brien said the state government provided funding for further development of the project in 2017, but it has not progressed since then.

“The overwhelming feedback from VicRoads’ own community engagement at the time was that the government needs to get on with the Traralgon bypass project,” Mr O’Brien said.

“There are currently 10 sets of traffic lights through Traralgon and will soon be 11.

“It has become a choke point for through traffic and a traffic nightmare for Traralgon residents and businesses.

“We need to plan carefully but get on with this project. Utilising as excuse that will last for decades is not helpful.

“I call on the government to restart the planning process and get on with funding this important project.”

“Today is a very special day as we celebrate 30 years of Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Corporation,” the speech began.

“I would like to acknowledge the amazing initiative of the late Mr Noel Yarram Snr, who championed the concept of an independent Corporation after years of the local Aboriginal community being supported by services from Morwell and Bairnsdale.”

Ms Binotto said as the new CEO, she wanted to get back to Ramahyuck’s “core”.

“I want to renew everyone’s pledge to our vision.”

As highlighted in Ms Binotto’s speech, Ramahyuck’s vision is for “healthy, strong, vibrant Aboriginal families living their best lives, for all their lives”.

The presentation ended with a cutting of the cake by Aunty Bess Yarram, with some of original members of the Ramahyuck team – Annemarie Frawley, Sherise Griffin, Bonnie O’Shanassy, Helene Booth, Lynette Bishop and Ivy Yarram, and everyone was invited inside for a roast lunch and mingle.

RAMAHYUCK District Aboriginal Corporation celebrated 30 years of incorporation on Thursday, May 12 with a flag-raising, speeches, history displays and a roast lunch.

The event began at 11am at the Noel Yarram (Snr) Centre on Foster Street, Sale, with a Welcome to Country from Lynette Bishop to roughly 80 attendees. Ramahyuck general manager of Corporate Services Andrew Dimarco was the emcee.

During the flag raising ceremony, Gavin O'Shanassy played the didgeridoo while Sherise Griffin raised the Aboriginal flag, Bonnie O’Shanassy raised the Torres Strait Islander flag and Kim Hills raised the Australian flag.

Young artist Rhianna Abdullah also sang a song in her native tongue.

Then, Ivy Yarram, daughter of the late Noel Yarram Senior, delivered an emotional address on behalf of the Yarram family and founding members of Ramahyuck that detailed some of the history.

The address was written by Ms Yarram's sister, Daphne.

Noel Yarram Snr was instrumental in pursuing support services for local Koorie families that lived in Sale, and passionate about ensuring the health and wellbeing of the local Koorie community.

He spent a great deal of his time going quietly about his business, building relationships, writing letters and meeting with members of the local council, state and federal ministers seeking funding or support for services for our local Koorie community.

After his passing, the family made a commitment to pursue this work and with the help and support of the local Koorie families in Sale at that time.

The first program that was funded and run by the Corporation was the Community Development Employment Program, or CDEP; it was the original ‘Work for the Dole’ program, with 15 participants.

As it grew, the focus was on providing quality health and social support programs that provided training and employment for the community.

Ms Yarram said that Ramahyuck was "not intended to be (a welfare scheme)".

Ramahyuck’s new chief executive officer Nancy Binotto was unable to attend the event, but her speech was up next, and was read out by Mr Dimarco.

Ms Binotto told the Gippsland Times over the

COVID cases lead to brief lockdown of Laurina Lodge Stefan Bradley LAURINA Lodge nursing home in Heyfield was placed into lockdown for a few days after a COVID outbreak was declared on May 2.

Central Gippsland Health chief executive officer Mark Dykgraaf said the outbreak was declared as per guidance from the Gippsland Regional Public Health Unit (GRPHU).

“With the declaration of an outbreak, it was advised that the facility was placed in lockdown in the wing where positive cases were detected,” Mr Dykgraaf told the Gippsland Times.

“The residents who test positive are required to isolate in their room for seven days. Close contacts (residents who live in the same wing) were required to isolate in their wing.”

Mr Dykgraaf confirmed that the COVID cases affected both staff and residents and that GRPHU declared the outbreak over on Thursday, May 5.

He also said that the other aged care facilities that Central Gippsland Health is responsible for were not battling COVID outbreaks at this time.

“COVID has presented many challenges over the past two years, including staffing.

Fortunately, Heyfield Hospital/Laurina Lodge is part of the Central Gippsland Health Network which ensures that all our services have access to additional support,” he said.

Under the guidance of the GRPHU, and the Department of Health, Mr Dykgraaf said the facility implemented the following strategies to stop the virus spreading:  Residents who tested positive were isolated  Close contacts were tested via RAT or PCR on day zero, day three and day six, and isolated in their wing  Residents with symptoms were isolated until a negative RAT / PCR was obtained  Staff wore full PPE (Gown, N95 mask and face shield)  Staff were required to complete a RAT prior to attending work  Staff who were symptomatic did not attend work  Visitors are required to complete a RAT prior to attending the site and must wear a face mask and visit in the resident’s room or outdoors

Focus on climate change A GROUP of climate activists have caused a stir in Sale with their act of “civil disobedience”.

The five women walked through the CBD on Friday, May 13 to highlight the federal government's inaction on climate change.

With the election mere days away, the group used the silent protest as a means of encouraging people to think about how they vote, and consider the implications for climate.

“We are in a climate crisis, and it is really critical that we do something about it,” participant Rosemary Gooch said.

“The present government’s plan is going to see us go for about a three degree rise (in average temperatures), along with the rest of the world, so it’s really got to change.”

The group began their protest at 12 noon with a choreographed walk through the Gippsland Centre.

Shortly after, the women were asked to leave the building by security, who informed the group that they were on “private property” and were not allowed to make “political statements” without the prior approval of the centre's management.

Afterwards, the protest was swiftly reorganised with a walk along the Pedestrian Mall and Raymond Street, culminating in the group delivering a speech outside the office of Gippsland MP Darren Chester.

The actions of the women drew the curiosity of passers-by, not least due to their choice of costume.

Although reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale, the costumes are meant to evoke the clothing worn by sibyls – female oracles who existed in ancient and medieval times – and featured slogans promoting climate activism.

The protest was a collaborative effort by multiple climate activists groups, including the East Gippsland Climate Action Network, Wellington Climate Action Network, and local chapters of the Extinction Rebellion movement.

The group makes its way across the Desailly Street pedestrian crossing.

Blue green algae sighted along Ninety Mile Beach THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) advises that the toxic blue green algae bloom currently impacting the Gippsland Lakes has spread into the ocean and has been sighted along parts of the Ninety Mile Beach.

Through aerial surveys and reports from locals, the bloom appears to be spreading both east and west from the Gippsland Lakes system.

Water sampling is being undertaken to confirm the type of blue green algae and inform the health advice.

Incident Controller Kath Smith said extra care should be taken around the water, including along the Ninety Mile Beach.

“We're urging everyone to be vigilant and take

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

For a truly great retirement, seek truly great advice.

extra care around the water - if green scum is visible, or the water is murky and you're not sure if it is blue green algae – please avoid contact with the water and use a precautionary approach,” she said.

The latest test results show little change within the Gippsland Lakes system and the current health advice remains in place, with a continuation of high algal readings at all locations across Lake King and Lake Victoria.

The only site safe for human and pet contact within the Gippsland Lakes is Lake Wellington.

"The algae levels appear to have reached a peak and are now in a stationary phase of growth. Cold overnight and daytime temperatures will assist in dropping water temperatures enough to break the cycle of algae growth," she said.

"As soon as the testing shows levels of algae which no longer pose a risk to human health, the public will be informed."

Direct contact with toxic blue green algae can cause allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itchiness, sore eyes, ears and nose or, if swallowed, gastroenteritis, nausea or vomiting.

The Department of Health advises the community to not eat shellfish such as mussels, crabs or prawns from anywhere in the Gippsland Lakes, and to remove the guts, and gills and thoroughly wash fish immediately after catching.

The toxins produced by algae can accumulate

in shellfish, crustaceans and the internal organs of fish.

If consumed, these toxins can cause serious illness.

If you do come into contact with contaminated water, wash immediately in fresh water and seek medical advice if experiencing illness.

Animals, including pets, should not come into contact with the water in affected locations.

Toxic algae can cause severe illness or death in dogs.

If your dog has come into contact with the algae affected water, please contact your vet for advice.

Water from the affected areas should not be used for drinking, cooking or other domestic uses.

Boiling the affected water will not make it safe for use.

Algae is a naturally occurring organism, serving an essential purpose within a healthy ecosystem.

On May 5, an unaccompanied learner driver failed to give way at traffic lights in Sale, colliding with another vehicle.

Unaccompanied learners pay price Stefan Bradley

STATISTICALLY, learner drivers with an accompanying fully qualified licenced driver are some of the safest drivers on Victorian roads.

Unfortunately, there are a number of learner drivers taking the risk and driving unaccompanied before they have the necessary experience and qualifications to be driving by themselves.

In just the last month, there have been two reported collisions in the Wellington area where learner drivers, who were driving unaccompaniedhavehadcollisionsrequiringhospital treatment.

Since May 1, anti-hoon driving legislation has been updated to allow police to now impound any vehicle driven by unaccompanied learners.

Acting Sergeant and Officer in Charge of the Highway Patrol Chris King said that previously, fines and demerit points failed to prevent unaccompanied learner drivers from reoffending.

“Now we can circumvent the fines and the demerit points by impounding the car, so we change their behaviour by taking the car off them.

Otherwise they get the demerit points and fines, but not pay them,” Acting Sergeant King said.

“The Highway Patrol is doing a great job."

On April 8, an unaccompanied, unlicensed learner driver lost control of his vehicle on the Heyfield-Rosedale Road and collided with a ditch, causing injury to himself that required transportation to hospital.

On May 5, another unaccompanied learner driver

failed to give way at traffic lights in Sale, colliding with another vehicle (pictured above).

The learner driver was again taken to hospital.

Fortunately the occupants of the other vehicle were uninjured.

On May 6 at 1.44 pm, Wellington Highway Patrol intercepted a vehicle in the Sale area that was being driven by an unaccompanied learner.

The vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1133, the driver will be summonsed to attend court at a later date for driving unaccompanied and failing to display “L” plates.

Further checks revealed that the same driver had been intercepted in Latrobe Valley the previous night and been issued with two infringement notices for driving unaccompanied and failing to display “L” plates.

The fines totalled $1091 and four demerit points.

At 3.16pm, also on May 6, Wellington Highway Patrol received information regarding an erratically driven vehicle through a school zone.

Wellington Highway Patrol intercepted another vehicle being driven by an unaccompanied learner.

The driver was not displaying “L” plates and the vehicles registration had been suspended.

Inquiries also found that the driver had only purchased the vehicle six hours earlier. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1005 (pictured below).

The driver will appear in court at a later date for a number of traffic offences.

On May 10, a driver in Sale who had lost their learner’s permit for other offences was caught driving. The car was impounded.

On May 6 at 1.44pm, Wellington Highway Patrol intercepted a vehicle in the Sale area driven by an unaccompanied learner. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1005.

News | Federal Election

www.gippslandtimes.com.au

Candidates have their say AHEAD of this Saturday’s Federal Election, the Gippsland Times, invited the six contenders for the seat of Gippsland to have their say on why you should vote for them.

Incumbent Darren Chester (Nationals) is the $1.01 favourite to be returned for another term in Canberra according to bookmaker Sportsbet.

Mr Chester, who was first elected in a by-election in 2008, polled 66.7 per cent on a two-party preferred basis at the 2019 Federal Election.

Gippsland has been held by the Country/ Nationals Party since Thomas Paterson first won the seat in 1922.

The electorate is the third largest in Victoria, covering nearly 15 per cent of the state’s land area.

Despite Mr Chester’s strong position, five other contenders have thrown their hat into the ring in 2022.

Labor’s contender is Jannette Langley, who is looking to build on the 23.2 per cent primary vote gained by candidate Antoniette Holm in 2019.

Marjorie Thorpe is the Greens candidate, with the party aiming to increase its 6.0 per cent vote from the previous Federal Election.

United Australia Party has thrown a number of resources at this election from a national point of view and interest surrounds how big an impact it will make at the ballot box.

Gregory Forster is its candidate as the party looks to grow from a 4.4 per cent primary vote from 2019.

One Nation did not run a candidate in 2019, but Greg Hansford is standing for the party led

by Pauline Hanson at the 2022 election.

Jim McDonald from the Liberal Democrats is the other contender, although despite repeated attempts, Mr McDonald was unable to be reached for comment in the lead-up.

Marjorie Thorpe

ryy Gregory Forster

I BELIEVE our biggest responsibility is to care for our country and the people who live here.

In Gippsland, we need better access to better serv rvices v like healthcare and education.

We need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis and to transition our homes, our businesses, our economy to renewable energy gy. y To strengt gthen t our resilience across all of Gippsland’s communities, we need to lift standards of social justice and improve preparedness for natural disasters.

Together we can create new employment opportunities in power generation, industry and agr griculture r and build a better future for us all.

I am a proud Gunnai, Gunditjmara and DjabWurrung woman.

I campaign gned n to save the Grandmother trees on Tjapurong, the land of my gr grandmothers, r and will continue to advocate for the protection of our forests, rivers, native vegetation and animals.

The health of our environment is essential for our social and economic well-being, but it is under threat.

As an elder my responsibility is to protect the land, water, and people, by participating in the community with integr grity r and passion.

To ensure a safe future for us, for our children, and for future generations, we need to do the right thing and fi fight i climate change, protect water resources, and halt the shocking loss of biodiversity now.

Your vote is powerful.

Vote 1 Marjorie Thorpe in the House of Representatives and Vote 1 Greens in the Senate.

Send a message loud and clear for the next federal government to hear.

We care about our wellbeing now and our future.

What h WHEN you go to vote, ask yourself, “Wh future am I voting for, for my children?”

The United Australia Party (UAP) has a vision and a plan to take Australia out of debt, and into a bright future.

Our national debt has exploded to a mind boggling one trillion dollars. One million millions.

The UAP is the only party with a plan to pay off the debt.

By putting a 15 per cent license on Australia’s iron ore exports, our debt will be paid off in 20 years, rather than the 180 forecast by the current government.

Less debt means more money for Australia.

More money for hospitals, schools, infrastructure and other essential serv rvices. v We will cap home loan interest rates at 3 per cent to save your home from rampant rate increases.

I want to see you able to keep your roof over your head and your kids to feel secure.

In addition to this measure, we will bring back a trillion dollars of Australian Super funds that are currently invested overseas, back to Australia to invest in Australian industries.

It is time for a real plan to invest in regi gional i gr growth. r We will introduce a 20 per cent tax concession for all Gippslanders living and working more than 200km from Melbourne’s CBD. This will invite real, long-term investment in our regi gional i areas.

The current piece-meal approaches offering incentives for ‘city folk’ to fi fill i short term roles don’t work.

We will establish reliable, affordable energy gy, y as well as on-shore processing of our resources.

This will allow us to promote manufacturing of Australian goods here, in the Valley, and more broadly across Gippsland.

Thriving businesses means jobs for you and your children.

Like you, I want a bright future for my children.

Isn’t it about time we actually became the clever country?

DESPITE multiple requests for comment, the Gippsland Times did not receive a response from the Liberal Democrat candidate for Gippsland, Jim McDonald.

GROWING up as a boy, attending Guthridge Primary and then Sale High School, I would never have dreamed that it was possible to represent our regi gion i in Federal Parliament.

My dad Jim was a plumber, and mum Lois was a homemaker, and the idea that one day I would rub shoulders with prime ministers and premiers was ridiculous.

An And n that’s one of the main reasons why I want to continue as the Member for Gippsland. I want to help all young people growing grr up in our regi gion i to achieve their full potential and to let them know that anything is possible if they work hard, and are passionate about their studies, or the jobs they do.

We should never sell ourselves short and we should be proud of everything our regi gion i contributes to the nation.

I believe Gippsland is the best regi gion i of the gr greatest r country in the world, and I’ve been extremely honoured and proud to work in partnership with our community to deliver record funding for local projects and critical serv rvices. v It’s not perfect and there’s always more to be done, and I have the energy gy, y enthusiasm and experience to keep delivering for all Gippslanders.

If I’m elected on May 21, I will keep working to build a safer, stronger and fairer Gippsland.

We’ve achieved a lot together but there’s more to be done to build better transport and communications links we need to prosper in the 21st century and deliver the health serv rvices, v aged care, childcare and disability support for our most vulnerable people.

At the same time, we need a strong economy to provide the resources to care for our environment and keep our defence force strong in an ever-changi ging i world.

I will continue to back jobs in our traditional industries and work to secure funding for investment in new and emergi ging i sectors.

For a kid from Guthridge Primary School, it’s been a privilege to represent Gippsland and I’m asking for your support to continue the work we have started.

MY Y name is Greg Hansford, your One Nation candidate for Gippsland.

I’m standing because I’ve lost confi fidence i in the leadership of our major parties.

They clearly have no idea of the issues facing regi gional i Australians today.

They’ve allowed our gr great r nation to gradually grr waste away industrially, economically and socially.

Now they seem to think they can spend their way out of our current situation.

If elected my main focus will be one of rebuilding our area’s economy by applying federal funding to projects that create ongoing, long-term jobs here, including reinstituting apprentice training for our young.

To do this One Nation will build new high effi ficiency, i low emission coal fi fired i power stations to take advantage of our 500+ years of known cheap coal reserv rves. v This will also benefi fit i our state, its people and industries through access to a low cost, reliable power supply 24/7.

Fourteen per cent of our best farming land (372 million ha) and 20 per cent of our water supplies are owned by foreign gn n fii financial speculators who buy and sell shares in these just to make profi fits. i We’d like to return these to Australian control/ l/ownership, / ban any further sales of freehold farmland and limit tenure of leasehold farmland to 25 years.

One Nation is the only party with a specifi fic i pro-life policies.

We will seek to roll back Labor/the Greens' laws which legally allow abortion up to birth, sex selective termination and restore a doctor’s rights to conscientiously object to perform this procedure.

One Nation will seek the abolishment of Dan An Andrews’ n cruel two tiered vaccinated economy, allowing unvaccinated Australians to return to work, earn a living again, feed their families and pay their bills.

It would also go a long way to solving the critical labour shortages being experienced in many businesses and professions.

THESE next few days before the 21st May is your final fii chance to cast your vote in this extremely important election.

It is urgent that you remember the past nine years.

So many sections of the community have been ign gnored n resulting in the Aged Care Royal Commission results, the cost of child care to families, infl flation l and the rising cost of living plus a decline in Medicare serv rvices. v An n Albanese Labor Government will revitalise local industries and small businesses.

This in turn will provide employment opportunities.

Gippsland should be a manufacturing and energy gy y hub which will be enhanced by the $10 million logi gistics i prescient announced in the Latrobe Valley recently.

Training and retraining through extra University places and free TAFE courses is another way of improving employment opportunities for local people.

An n Albanese government will address climate change and has committed to a net zero emissions by 2050 and has the plans to make gr green r energy gy y a reality.

The recent bushfi fires i and fl floods l both in Gippsland and in other parts of the country shows how urgent this has become.

We must have a sustainable environment for our children and grandchildren’s grr future.

By putting your faith in me at the ballot box I promise to fi fight i for the people of Gippsland and to listen to the community’s needs and be your voice in Parliament.

The following statement and Mr McDonald's image has been lifted from the official Liberal Democrats website.

JIM McDonald was born in Gippsland and grew grr up on his family's beef farm near Meeniyan.

After completing high school, Jim worked as a stockman on sheep and cattle stations and as a machinery operator and rigger on construction projects.

In 2016, Jim successfully qualifi fied i for his commercial pilot’s licence and saw him begi gin i his current career as an Ag Pilot.

He can often be found spraying and spreading fertiliser in the hills around South Gippsland.

Jim became interested in politics when the Labor Party shut down the live export trade in 2011, causing severe hardship to many of his friends in the cattle industry.

With governments becoming ever more brazen at taking away our rights and liberties, Jim is proud to stand for the party that fi fights i against government overreach for the seat of Gippsland.

Then There Was Sophie at store Tom Parry LOCAL shoppers have been delighted by the presence of influencer, entrepreneur and author Sophie Cachia at Collins Booksellers, Sale.

Ms Cachia visited the Raymond Street store on Thursday, May 12 to meet with patrons and promote her latest release, Then There Was Her. Store manager Natasha Hunt described Ms Cachia’s visit as “a bit of a coup.”

“For a bookstore in a regional town, the opportunity for customers to meet with an author is rare,” Ms Hunt said.

“When we had the opportunity to have her here, we said ‘Yes, absolutely!’”

Ms Cachia spoke about her motivation for visiting Sale to the Gippsland Times.

“Visiting regional (areas) is really important to me, because I know that there’s not a lot of events out there,” Ms Cachia said.

“But I also know that I have a very loyal following in these areas as well, especially in that mum bracket, and I know any opportunity to get out of the house and do something exciting is a good reason – I’m a mum as well, so I get it.”

Ms Cachia’s name is already familiar to younger readers, having written the Bobby series of educational board books.

Then There Was Her marks the author’s first autobiographical release, which she describes as a “powerful story about a woman just grabbing the reins of her own life.”

“We’ve always been told as kids ‘Do what makes you happy’ and ‘Be who you want to be’, but I felt like when I became an adult, those rules suddenly don’t apply,” Ms Cachia explained.

“You get told every day you’ve got one life, but not many people actually do it, and I just hope that I can inspire people … just to really take those reins themselves.”

A small crowd came to greet Ms Cachia on the day, with a queue forming outside the entrance of Collins Booksellers.

Some patrons waited half an hour to greet the author, who generously gave her time to all who did.

“I’m a 30-year-old mum and a woman navigating my life, so I actually relate to these women just as much as they relate to me,” Ms Cachia said.

“I love meeting them and having everyday conversations, because I am exactly like them.”

Wendy Darmoty and Emily Earles were the first to meet with Sophie Cachia.

Ms Hunt was equally happily, speaking enthusiastically about the turnout.

“It’s just so nice that people have come out and taken the opportunity to meet her, have a chat to her, get their book signed – and of course, it’s great for small business,” Ms Hunt said.

Ms Cachia won’t be the last author to visit Sale, with Collins Booksellers planning for similar events in the near future.

Sale author’s new book Stefan Bradley A NEW children’s book hoping to help raise a generation of resilient and kind children, authored

by Sale-based early childhood educator Andrea McKenzie, is set to be released next week.

Ms McKenzie wrote Feelings are just Feelings after receiving help from a psychologist to deal with overwhelming stress.

“I suffered post-natal depression after my third child. I saw a psychologist, who was giving me these simple strategies for my stress and overwhelm,” Ms McKenzie said.

“It left me wondering if children had learnt those strategies, would they avoid ending up in the same situation I was in finding certain situations so hard, or be unable to cope?

“I have a passion for instilling resistance and kindness into children. I feel like I’m an empathetic person. I want the best for everyone.”

Ms McKenzie said the book was easy to write.

“I find writing very therapeutic,” she said.

“I’m fun and crazy with my kids to the point where I can make up songs on the spot. So the book just came to me - I wrote it in one night in 2019 and it sat there in a Word document. In early 2021 found it again. It was the second year of COVID and I thought that this is what the world needs.”

The book was illustrated by Christina Miesen, and Ms McKenzie said the drawings “crammed more meaning” into the book.

“They asked me for an illustration brief. I just sent them stick figures as I can’t draw,” Ms McKenzie said.

“I was amazed when I got them back as they were exactly as I envisioned them. For younger children, the adults can just read to them the words, whereas older children can read the pictures as well.

“The book is aimed towards primary school children and will hopefully help them through their high school years.

“I hope it can be used as a classroom tool for

teachers. If they’re having problems, they can talk about how their thoughts influence their behaviour.

They can talk about overthinking, bullying or what it takes to be kind.

“I’ve had such good feedback. I’ve sent it to local professionals in the mental health profession.

Teachers are saying it’s amazing. Parents say they wish they had it when they were in school.

It’s not just a book, I feel like it’s a wellness tool.”

Feelings are just Feelings also address bullying.

“Words can hurt, and can cut deep. But you don’t have to believe everything that people say. Just because someone says something about you, doesn’t mean it's true. They’re trying to make you feel that way. Block them out. It's them not you,” Ms McKenzie said.

“Knowing that your feelings come and go, just because you feel a certain way at a certain time, you’re not gonna feel that way forever.

“School in the scheme of life is such a small part.

There’s so much living you do after you finish school. But when you are in school, it feels like forever.”

Feelings are just Feelings will be available in bookstores from Monday, May 23.

Ms McKenzie will also be selling her own copies and children can access it in school libraries.

Ms McKenzie said that Collins Booksellers and Sale Public Library are working with her on an official book launch in June.

The $250 million final three stages of the project is 80 per cent funded by the federal government with the state government providing 20 per cent.

Mr Chester said the fully duplicated road will save lives, improve productivity and reduce travel times for locals and visitors.

“A better, safer Princes Highway will make a huge difference for local residents, freight operators and the visitor economy,” Mr Chester said.

“It’s exciting to see significant progress on all three stages of the project between Traralgon and Sale.

Special honours for firefighters THREE hundred and forty-eight East Gippsland volunteer firefighters and CFA staff members have been honoured with National Emergency Medals (NEM) for their efforts in the 2019/2020 Australian bushfire crisis.

The National Emergency Medal is part of Australia’s Honours and Awards system and recognises significant or sustained service to others in a nationally significant Australian emergency.

The East Gippsland ceremonies on Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7 were the first of many CFA events over the coming months to award more than 5500 medals to those who served in the crisis.

Governor-General David Hurley presented the medals on the Saturday event, and said it was an essential part of recognising the service of CFA volunteers during the bushfire crisis.

“The National Emergency Medal acknowledges the efforts that have been made during some of our country’s most challenging periods," Mr Hurley said.

“The NEM is a means of saying thank you to recipients – and that Australia recognises the service they have given.

“In recognising individuals here in East Gippsland, we also highlight and celebrate the tremendous contributions that have – and continue to be – made by CFA volunteers across Victoria."

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan spoke of his pride for the CFA members’ efforts.

“The 2019/2020 fires devastated East Gippsland and the North East of Victoria. But from that crisis arose the most remarkable human spirit of generosity and ‘lending a hand’,” he said.

“Our medal recipients have exemplified that spirit, and I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them.

“Recovery efforts are continuing in affected communities to this day, and hopefully this recognition and celebration of service contributes towards the process of healing as well.”

Lakes Entrance Captain and MC Phil Loukes, South East Region deputy chief officer Trevor Owen, board member Dawn Hartog, board member Peter Shaw, Mossi-Tambo Captain Christine Bittner, chief officer Jason Heffernan, Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria chief executive officer Adam Barnett, assistant chief fire officer District 11 Daryll Hunter.

The Wiggles are coming to Sale next month

Gold standard music in Stratford Tom Parry FOR those who aren’t political junkies, the Stratford Courthouse Theatre is providing the perfect distraction this election night, with singer-songwriter Daniel Champagne bringing his soulful voice and virtuosic guitar work to the venue.

Mr Champagne – and yes, that is his real surname – will be performing in Stratford for the first time, but is already quite familiar with the town.

“I'm actually originally from Bega in southern New South Wales (and) have driven through Stratford a number of times on my way to Melbourne, so it will be exciting to finally stop-in for some shows,” Mr Champagne said.

The artist’s influences are many and varied, resulting in music that fuses blues, roots and folk with just a hint of pop showmanship.

“My original influence was my Dad, who was the first guitar player I ever saw,” Mr Champagne said.

IT'S not every day that the world's mostpopular music group comes to town.

Children's entertainers The Wiggles will be performing in Sale next month as part of their brand-new, action-packed Superhero Tour.

Anthony, Lachy, Simon and Tsehay are super-excited to once again sing, dance and play music for their fans, and promise to bring along their Wiggly friends too.

Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, Shirley Shawn the Unicorn are coming along for the fun, with special appearances by Caterina Wiggle and John Wiggle from the Fruit Salad TV series.

Superhero Tour will take place at The Wedge on Friday, June 17.

Tickets for the show are currently available at www.thewiggles.com.au But you better be quick, tickets will sell like hot potatoes!

“Over the years, different heroes have come in and out of my life – Jimi Hendrix, Michael Hedges, Tommy Emmanuel – and I'd like to think they are all woven into the show somewhere.”

Having earned rave reviews about his music and live performances across the globe, Champagne’s appearance in Stratford represents a rare opportunity to see a world-class musician on a local stage.

“I've been working on a new album so there's a lot of songs that are being aired in real-time, and I can say that any fans of guitar and singer-songwriter music will definitely enjoy themselves,” Mr Champagne said.

The Stratford Courthouse Theatre will play host to two shows from Daniel Champagne on Saturday, May 21.

The 8pm show has been sold out, but a limited number of tickets are still available for the earlier 5.30pm show.

Those wanting to attend can purchase tickets through the artist’s official website: danielchampagnemusic.com

Daniel Champagne is ready to grace the stage in Stratford.

NOW showing until June 5, 2022 | Free Entry Gippsland Art Gallery is pleased to present Harbinger, a group exhibition by six contemporary artists that explores the role of birds in warning of imminent danger. In the context of this expansive and beautiful exhibition, the image of birds is a metaphor also for a looming environmental catastrophe faced by humankind.

In this era of the Anthropocene, where human activity is impacting Earth’s ecosystems and climate, there is an associated effect on plant and animal biodiversity.

Many of us experience a sense of impotent, paralysing dread at the frequent news of another lost species. Harbinger seeks to counter this paralysis by presenting artworks that respond to stories of threats and also those of positive interactions between people and the natural environment.

The artists participating in Harbinger share an interest in exploring the different ways that people relate and interact with to the natural world in their art practice. Although each artist typically creates representational imagery or objects to explore this theme, they approach the subject from a different viewpoint and use different media and processes to do so. These include large scale relief prints (Dianne Fogwell), oil paint on gold leafed panels (Tiffany Cole), cast bronze sculptures and drawings (Steven Holland), lost wax cast glass (Megan Bottari), hand-sawn titanium (Ginger Bottari), and oil paint on linen (Nicola Dickson). In acknowledgment of the importance of birdsong as the most frequent way we experience birds, the displayed works are embedded in a soundscape composed by Reuben Lewis derived from field recordings of birds that has then been manipulated in the studio. Drawing this work together in Harbinger offers a diverse display of artworks that engage with humanity's complex relationship with birds.

Complementing Harbinger, the Gallery will present a special Panel Discussion with participating artists and guest curator Nicola Dickson, followed by a performance by renowned sound artist Reuben Lewis.

This free event will take place on Friday, May 20 from 6pm to 8pm, and light refreshments will be provided. Bookings are essential through the Gallery’s website: www.gippslandartgallery.com/ events The artists gratefully acknowledge the support of ArtsACT project funding.

If vehicle has been out You can apply now and about, check it out “What were the road conditions it came on?

Dry, damp, muddy or flooding? – these will all have an impact on the level of risk the vehicle represents to your farm.”

Mr Moran said the checklist was comprehensive but still simple and easy to use and included prompts about road surfaces travelled (including paddocks) and their corresponding biosecurity risk level ratings.

He said depending on the level of risk assessed the checklist then provided practical solutions for treating the vehicle.

“But remember if it’s wet conditions forget it. Vehicles shouldn’t be entering the productive areas of your property when it is wet or flooded unless there is an urgent need,” Mr Moran said.

“Mud sticks to tyres and is flicked up into the hard to see and clean components, giving weeds, pests and diseases, a ride to the next paddock or property.”

IF a vehicle has travelled off your property there is now a useful vehicle biosecurity risk assessment checklist available to help you decide if it requires a clean down before re-entering to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases on farm.

Agriculture Victoria grains biosecurity officer Jim Moran said the checklist was produced for grain growers by the Grains Farm Biosecurity Program.

“The Vehicle Biosecurity Risk Assessment Tool is a quick reference guide for assessing a vehicle that has travelled off a property or is not stationed on a property,” Mr Moran said.

He said the checklist gave grain growers a quick assessment strategy to help them determine if a vehicle requires a clean down before re-entering their property.

“For example, the checklist suggests key questions to consider when a vehicle either arrives or re-enters, such as: Where has the vehicle been and what is the likelihood it has come into contact with weeds or other pests?

ASPIRING Victorian dairy farmers are encouraged to make their mark in the industry by applying for the Gardiner Dairy Foundation 2023 Nuffield Scholarship.

A Gardiner Nuffield scholarship gives a Victorian dairy farmer an opportunity to study cutting-edge global agriculture, including an opportunity to travel overseas for 14 weeks.

Scholars will be challenged to research topics that add value to the Victorian dairy industry and will benefit from becoming members of the Nuffield alumni of more than 1500 members globally.

Gardiner chief executive officer Allan Cameron said programs like Nuffield strengthen the knowledge, experience and networks of current and future dairy leaders.

“Gardiner supports the Nuffield Scholarship program to offer forward thinking Victorian dairy farmers an opportunity to explore best practice in agriculture globally and then share their findings with the local industry,” Mr Cameron said.

The 2014 recipient of the Gardiner Nuffield Scholarship, Gippsland dairy farmer Aubrey Pellett, said the experience had given him more confidence to look for solutions.

“If I’ve got a problem, I think - I’ve been around the world and been stimulated by different types of solutions. That makes you think there’s probably another approach you could take rather than do what’s always been done," Mr Pellett said.

Since completing his Nuffield, Mr Pellett has also taken on several industry roles including chairman of Rural Financial Counselling Service Gippsland, deputy chair Bonlac Supply Company, director GippsDairy, and he was recently appointed as the farmer director on the Gardiner board.

Mr Pellett encouraged all farmers to consider applying for a scholarship.

“The scholarship increased my leadership opportunities because of the improved networks I now have,” he said.

Nuffield Australia will award up to 20 scholarships this year.

A NEW farm monitor program will provide horticulture producers with critical business insights to help them understand their profitability, improve recovery and drive future growth.

Agriculture Victoria’s Horticulture Farm Monitor Pilot is collecting valuable information from farm businesses across a range of crops including apple and pears, cherries, strawberries and summer fruit.

Victorian Strawberry Growers Association Chairperson and AusBerry chief executive officer Miffy Gilbert said it’s an extremely valuable tool for growers and is encouraging more growers to be involved.

“The strawberry industry was really keen to participate in the Horticulture Farm Monitor Pilot,” Ms Gilbert said.

“We are full of anecdotal evidence on our industry and our businesses, but we don’t have the data to back up our claims.

“When the pandemic hit and we were asked how many workers we needed as an industry, we didn’t really know. We had anecdotal evidence, but nothing based on defendable facts.”

Several farm businesses are already involved in the data collection phase of the pilot program, and Ms Gilbert is calling for more farmers to be involved.

“This program will provide us with clarity around our industry and the true cost of production,” she said.

“It will help individual business set their base costs and base sale prices, understand where they

NEW EXPORT ORDER

% &( ( $ ' 1 $ ' 1 $ ! !

EARLY JULY DELIVERY NOW

&-) % &( $ & # & 1 " $ ! 1 & 1 " ! 1

"(/

can make savings and where they are competitive compared to the industry average. It will even be useful when individuals are applying for banks loans.”

Ms Gilbert said some individual industry groups had collected data in the past, but this industrywide program would provide deeper insights into business profitability, while protecting the farmers who provide their business data.

“It’s all beautifully done with total anonymity. All the data is de-identified so no one knows where it’s from, but they do know it is accurate, representative data of their industry and their production type,” Ms Gilbert said.

Agriculture Victoria’s Sze Flett said industry groups have renewed their call for real data to help them navigate recent challenges.

The pilot is similar to Agriculture Victoria’s long-running and highly successful Farm Monitor programs in dairy, beef and sheep industries.

“Collecting data on horticulture businesses has always been a challenge due to the complex and fragmented nature of the sector, with so many different industry types with varying capacity to collect data,” Dr Flett said.

“But we know this is the best way to provide businesses with a clear, accurate picture of the state of their industry.”

Farmers who would like to be involved in the program can contact Horticulture Farm Monitor Pilot program manager Andy Clark on 0436 804 656, or email seasonalworkforce@ agriculture.vic.gov.au

Mawarra Genetics, Longford sells Hereford for top price of $130,000

Your “one stop shop” for all your bulk & bagged stockfeed, nutritional advice and rural merchandise requirements

Most successful exhibitor of the 2022 Herefords National Show was Mawarra Genetics of Longford.

Mr Campion said the bull ticked all the boxes a Hereford sire required.

“Overall, he was a beautifully balanced bull with good structure, a tonne of depth, good length and massive figures,” Mr Campion said.

“We have used Mawarra before and moving forward our mission would be to use him over Yarram Park and Newcomen females.

“As far as weaner prices go, everything is just brilliant with all our clients benefitting from that and the back-to-back seasons.

“It is really good for the rural sector after such a hammering during the drought years, and it looks like we might have three good seasons in a row.

“That puts confidence back into everything and that leads into this industry, and it is showing here today.

“This sale is totally underpinned by commercial and stud buyers.”

Andrew Hore, Rotherfield Poll Herefords, Mullengandra, paid $50,000 for Glendan Park Regal R016 offered by Alvio Trovatello, Glendan Park Herefords, Kyneton, Vic. The 25-month-old bull was by Glendan Park Panama P004, weighed 904kg, had a raw eye muscle scan of 128sqcm, a birthweight estimated breeding value of +4.5, carcase weight of +70kg and eye muscle area of +6.1sqcm.

Phil “Bluey” Commins, Nunniong Herefords, Ensay, outlaid $38,000 for Hollow Point R024, a son of Yavenvale M446 and with an EBV of +108kg for 600-day weight, +24kg for milk and +66 for carcase weight.

The bull was sold by Alex Townsend, Hollow Point Herefords, Tinderbox, Tasmania.

The commercial producers entered the bidding at $35,000 with Hunt Agriculture, Moree, NSW, taking home Mawarra Union Pacific R424, a Koanui Techno 3062 son from the Sykes family.

Pat, James and Nikki Pearce, Yavenvale Herefords and Poll Herefords, Adelong, NSW, purchased Morganvale Rookie R306 for $34,000 from Allan Morgan, Morganvale Herefords, Keith, SA.

Among the volume commercial buyers on the day was Scott Reardon, Rockford Pty Ltd, Bothwell, Tasmania, with Mawarra Jackaroo R262 for $22,000, Hollow Point Redneck R017 for $20,000 and Mawarra Jupiter R044 for $24,000.

Mr Reardon was investing in genetics after selling 170 steers (top pen was 457kg) and 49 heifer weaners at Powranna for an overall average of $2175.

“I like good meaty cattle without being extreme. I like the Hereford’s temperament, growth, carcase, calving ease and doing ability,” he said.

Herefords Australia National Show and Sale (Wodonga) committee chairman Alvio Trovatello described the event as a “great outcome and clearance”.

“Elite stud sires were making record prices and very good top end commercial sires sold well,” Mr Trovatello said.

“It was good to see the strong commercial support with repeat buyers and quite a few people bidding online.

“The social aspect is a big part of it – it’s a big few days on the Hereford calendar.

“Since COVID has come and gone people have really been looking forward to the event this year with a different level of optimism off the back of cattle prices and the season.”

Stud stock agent Peter Godbolt, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Albury, said commercial producers paid $25,000 to $30,000 for bulls while studs operated at the top end.

"Off the back of the weaner sales through January and in the mountains in March, buyers were getting good money for their calves and were willing to invest in the genetics – it was a credit to the breeders what they are doing for their commercial clients,” Mr Godbolt said.

“With a new record top price for Wodonga – it was good to see the breeders getting rewarded for what they do, and the Hereford breed getting recognised within the industry.”

Mr Godbolt said online buyers bid on around half the catalogue.

THE Hereford breed stamped its dominance in the market posting a thumping top price of $130,000 and a new record average of $15,794 at the 57th Herefords Australia National Show and Sale.

Held on May 12 at Wodonga, the National Sale drew buyers from NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, and was interfaced with AuctionsPlus.

Billed as one of the largest multi-vendor sales in southern Australia, it catered for 34 vendors from four states.

Overall, 102 bulls sold from the 106 offered for a 96 per cent clearance, gross of $1,611,000 and average of $15,794.

In the sale breakdown, a total of 59 junior bulls sold to a top of $35,000 and average of $12,847 while 43 senior bulls sold to a top of $130,000 and average of $19,837.

Creating plenty of excitement in the sale barn was Mawarra Ultra Star R182 selling for a new record top price of $130,000 to Tom Nixon, Devon Court Herefords, Drillham, Queensland.

The price eclipsed the previous top of $103,000 set in 2021 by Mawarra If Only Q264.

The 24-month-old Mawarra Ultra Star R182

by US sire Endure 173D was sold by Peter and Deanne Sykes, Mawarra Genetics, Longford, Victoria, and had been sashed as the intermediate and grand champion bull by judge Steve Reid the day before.

Weighing 1004kg, Ultra Star had BREEDPLAN figures of +123kg for 600-day weight, +27kg for milk, +82kg for carcase weight, and +8.6sqcm for eye muscle area.

Mr Nixon confirmed the New Zealand semen rights were sold to the Robbie family, Otapawa Herefords, NZ. He had a strategic plan to buy two full brothers and had earlier paid $35,000 for the top price bull at Mawarra’s on-property sale, Mawarra Ultimate R140, partnering with Cascade Poll Herefords, Currabubula, NSW. “We will have a multi-sire joining to the stud cows this year to those two bulls, on top of an AI program using our new Canadian sire KJ Medium, which just sold for CAN$240,000 - we partnered with Otapawa for the Australian semen rights,” Mr Nixon said.

“It was phenotype and pedigree first (with Ultra Star) – breed leading data sets with top one per cent most of the way through with moderate birthweight, calving ease, EMA (eye muscle area), fat and IMF (intramuscular fat).”

Vendors Peter and Deanne Sykes were overwhelmed and humbled by the result.

“The outlook for the breed is great with people willing to spend money on good genetics with the right traits,” Mr Sykes said.

“Our grass-fed markets are going well for Herefords and the cattle sold today certainly had those carcase traits and doing ability Herefords are known for.”

It was a day full of emotion for vendor Andrew Green, Yarrandabbie Herefords, Barfold, Vic, when his bull Yarrandabbie Richard R004, named in honour of his late father, Dick Green, sold for the second top price of $70,000 to Marc Greening, Injemira Genetics, Book Book, NSW. The 23-month-old bull had been sashed as reserve intermediate champion and was sired by Glendan Park Panama P004.

On BREEDPLAN, the young sire had a birthweight of +5kg, milk of +22kg, carcase weight of +65kg and eye muscle area of +5.9sqcm.

Mark and Wendy Campion, Amos Vale Herefords, Pinkett, NSW, outlaid the third top price of $60,000 for Mawarra Justify R265, a 23-month-old son of Mawarra Evolution weighing 890kg from the Sykes family stable.

Gippsland FC round-up

GIPPSLAND FC had four junior teams in action at the weekend.

UNDER-13 THE Under-13s travelled to Glen Eira for their Round 4 fixture.

Similar to the previous away fixture they were scheduled to play on a pitch that was more suited to Under-9s than Under-13s.

This led to a rather untidy game of football for both teams.

Gippsland attacked for much of the early part of the game however couldn't produce the quality required in the final third and when they did the Glen Eira keeper proved hard to pass.

Cristian Guarascio came to the team's rescue with a host of saves through the day.

Gippsland went 1-0 up through a Maurice Baldacchino strike that took a kind deflection, however Glen Eira equalised to go to the break at 1-1.

The second-half was full of near misses and desperate defending by both teams however Glen Eira managed to get the winner late in the game to finish 2-1 winners.

UNDER-15 THE Gippsland Under-15s made the trek to Ringwood to play the seventh place team.

It was a great battle from the first whistle with both teams coming out strong.

It was quite some time before Ringwood managed to make their way through the Gippsland backline and find the back of the net to take the lead at 1-0.

Gippsland quickly responded with a magnificent goal from Jesse Dugard but a quick thinking header then took the Gippsland boys by surprise shortly after to bring the score to 2-1 going into the half-time break.

The second half held much the same intensity from both sides with Noah Jackson, Tanna Leicester and Dugard all putting in valiant efforts for Gippsland however the away side were unable to convert their attempts at goal.

Another quick goal from Ringwood saw the game slip away from Gippsland with the final score being 3-1.

Once again, the results did not reflect the true game with just a couple of slips in concentration on Gippsland's behalf giving the opposition an opportunity to capitalise.

UNDER-16 CHESTER, Lofty.

The Chester family would like to thank everyone for their love, support, visits, flowers and food following the passing of Lofty.

A special thanks to Letts Funerals and Julie Duffy for a lovely send off, the home care nurses and to Dr Nicolson for all his care over the years.

THE Under-16s played host to South Melbourne at Latrobe City Stadium, Morwell.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for South Melbourne to get on top, scoring three goals in the first-half.

After half-time, Gippsland FC had more attempts on goal, none however hit the back of the net.

The backline worked harder defending the ball and goalkeeper Jeffrey Pearson made many great saves.

South Melbourne only scoring one more goal to seal a 4-0 win.

UNDER-18 PERFECT conditions greeted players and spectators alike as Gippsland FC Under-18s took on Mornington.

Both teams were creating chances in a

free-flowing affair and an early goal seemed likely.

Mornington would be given a free kick, just outside the box that was top bin bound until being well saved by Gippsland FC goalkeeper Jared Goodwin.

Gippsland FC were starting to play as they've been training and soon after Julian Colantuono would slot the opening goal after some wonderful build up play.

That's how the first half would end as both teams looked to regroup for the remainder of the match.

Gippsland FC started the second half as they finished the first, dominating play and pressing hard for a second goal.

MOE and Sale went head-to-head under lights at Moe on Saturday night in what was an important match for the Devils in the first round of the McHallam/Patterson Cup. Moe's injury plagued win over Traralgon City the week before was full of merit but they picked up the pace against Sale scoring their highest ever total (10-1) against the Swans, beating the 9-2 scoreline back in 1994.

It was Moe's 77th win over the Swans and their biggest to date.

The misty weather made conditions greasy, but Moe adapted better to cause Sale plenty of headaches.

The Devils had four on the board by half-time with Connor O'Hanlon scoring a brace and Noah Kane and Ty Georgiou on the scoresheet.

It was all Moe in the second half with O'Hanlon grabbing his hat-trick and Kane his brace.

Further goals to Brendan Ruddell and Bailey Somerville pushed the scoreline to 8-0.

Sale, although down, kept at Moe and with determination clawed back a goal, but in reality it didn't make much difference as Harley Robinson scored and then the coach Kevin O'Farrell headed in Moe's 10th from a corner.

TRARALGON CITY v FORTUNA TRARALGON City's keeper Mason Loprese was the hero in the Roosters holding the league title aspirants Fortuna 60 to a 3-3 draw in windy conditions on Sunday afternoon.

The Roosters were reduced to 10 men after a

double-yellow send off at the 20 minute mark.

Fortuna scored through Ryan McCauley only after seven minutes as the Lions continually forced the ball forward.

Keeper Loprese was forced into some heavy saves which denied the ever present Fortuna strikers.

The windy conditions made it difficult to judge the flight of the ball as players continually miskicked to the opposition players.

Traralgon City got a corner on the left and the wind took it wide enabling Roosters player Mohamad Taleb to sweetly strike the ball home to level at 1-1 and that was the scoreline going into the break.

It was goal for goal in the second half as both teams attacked hard. Both keepers, John Beamer and Loprese playing their part in keeping the match on a level footing as at the final whistle it was a 3-3 draw.

The draw by Fortuna and a big win by Moe has seen these two change places on the ladder.

PEGASUS v FALCONS IT was first versus second at Ronald Reserve as the home side handed the high flying Falcons 2000 side their first defeat of the season.

The first half saw a tight affair with both sides finding it difficult to fashion any clear cut chances.

Many a yellow card was handed out in a physical encounter albeit with no intended malice; after all there was plenty at stake.

The away side started to get on top early in the second half but their inability to take advantage soon took its toll and with the Flying Horsemen's only chance of the game, they took the lead after a loose ball in the box was tucked away in the bottom corner leaving Charles Simon no chance.

The contest continued to heat up and Falcons should've equalised through striker Jamie Pistrin however he was thwarted by the Pegasus keeper to tip the ball wide.

Falcons have a never say die attitude and continued to push and push for an equaliser, but it was to no avail as the home side collected all three points and leapfrogged the Birds into top spot.

CHURCHILL v NEWBOROUGH/ YALLOURN

NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN bounced back for a second win in three weeks with a more than satisfying victory over Churchill.

The Rams were expected to push their opponents, but it soon became obvious that the Combine had too many big guns for Churchill to run out 6-1 winners.

It was the eighth successive victory by Newborough/Yallourn over Churchill.

MONASH v EAST GIPPSLAND AFTER getting the hide belted off them by Falcons the previous week, East Gippsland fought hard this week to force a draw with Monash.

It was a history-making match with the first drawn game between these two teams.

Over the previous nine games, Monash had taken the points from the Eagles, but this time round the Eagles at least got a point from a close and interesting match.

WEEKEND PREVIEW TWO catch up matches will be played this weekend.

The first will be between Newborough/Yallourn and Traralgon City after their earlier season match was cancelled due to COVID. Newborough/Yallourn will look to continue their push towards the top of the table.

The Roosters will be keen to continue their rich vein of form after holding the high-flying Fortuna side to a 3-3 draw last weekend.

East Gippsland and Fortuna will also get on the park after their first match was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

East Gippsland will be somewhat buoyed after they snagged an unlikely point against Monash last weekend although they will face a Fortuna side who will be baying for blood after unnecessarily dropping points to Traralgon City last time out.

It is a must-win game for Fortuna and they may well see it as an opportunity to improve their goal difference given the tight nature of the league ladder.

ROUND 6 added to the intrigue of the Gippsland League, as a number of teams secured wins of major significance.

Traralgon and Sale solidified their credentials, both getting up over fellow top five sides, while Bairnsdale got off the bottom of the ladder after securing its maiden victory for the season.

With another passing week however there was one constant, as Leongatha put another opponent to the sword.

The Parrots remain the only unbeaten team, and even at this early stage of the season, there is an undeniable sense 2022 will be a case of five clubs fighting for the right to play Leongatha in the grand final.

SALE was too big, too strong and ultimately too good for Moe. The Magpies won a physical encounter at Ted Summerton Reserve by 12 points, 10.13 (73) to 8.13 (61).

Sale has now won four games in succession after copping the toughest draw to start the season, facing premiership fancies Wonthaggi and Leongatha in the first two weeks.

Conversely, it was Moe’s first major test and loss for the season, after the Lions had admittedly been given a pretty soft draw in the first five weeks, winning games against four of the current bottom five teams, as well as a genuine ‘get out of jail’ effort against Traralgon a fortnight ago.

A tight contest ensued in the first half at Ted Summerton, as the game basically became a battle of defences.

Sale key defender Will Leslie had the job on league leading goal kicker Harry Pepper, while at the other end, Moe playing-coach Declan Keilty repelled many a forward entry from the Magpies.

At half-time the margin was just one point, and given the greasy conditions, the match had the makings of one that was going to go down to the wire.

Come three quarter time, Sale had taken a five point lead after kicking three goals to two.

Some long range set shots by respective leaders in Sale senior coach Jack Johnstone and Moe captain Jacob Wood provided a lift to their side, while the physicality was also taken up a notch as some big hits were laid and a spot fire erupted in front of the Sale coaches box as players from either side flew the flag for their teammates.

Johnstone appeared animated as he addressed his troops at the last change, urging them for 30 more minutes of effort. A short distance away, Moe

took a calmer approach, believing that if they could manage two goals in the conditions and tidy up in defence, it might prove to be enough.

Sale started on top in the final term, kicking the first three goals to stretch its lead.

A left foot snap by Jarrod Freeman at the 19 minute mark took the margin out to four goals, silencing the parochial Moe Can Bar, who were ready to concede defeat there and then.

A nice little give by Lions ruckman Ben Morrow to Trent Baldi set up a goal to Matt Barrand at the 23 minute mark which cut the margin back to 19 points and kept things interesting, but it proved to be too little, too late.

Will Leslie was judged best on ground for Sale, along with Mitch Thacker, Jack Leslie, Nathan Whitford, Pat Tainsh and Jayden Allison in his 100th match.

The milestone took the Allison tally to 559 Gippsland League games.

His father Dave played 209 and uncle Steve 250 games for Morwell.

Leslie’s counterpart Keilty was a clear best on ground for Moe. It would be no exaggeration to say the Lions would have lost by at least five goals if he didn’t play.

The more one watches Keilty the more one can’t help but think ‘how did he only play two games for Melbourne?’

Wood, Barrand, Baldi, James Blaser and Brock Smith were others to put in determined efforts.

Winning coach Johnstone said it was a solid performance from his side.

“I was really happy with our pressure, it was probably something that has dropped off the last few weeks so to get that back up to where we wanted against a really good side was really pleasing,” he said.

“Friday was a ‘fun’ day. We lost a couple through illness, Brad Dessent has been nursing a couple of injuries so we thought it best to give him a week and then we lost Pendles (Ryan Pendlebury) pretty early as well.

“It put a bit of strain on the backline but the back six today were fantastic, they helped each other and I was really happy with how the guys lifted under adversity. “(Jack) Leslie had to play a bit more in ruck with Brad going out, we had to try and mix it up. Les is one of those players, I wish I had three more of him. He went through the ruck, played a little bit back, little bit forward, he is a top tier player and played really well.

“Our depth is good this year, our twos are winning games of footy which they didn’t last year. The energy around the club is awesome at the moment

wins at weekend and when you have both teams winning it makes it so much more enjoyable.

“We were able to lose a few and just bring the next guy in. Tommy Campbell replaced Kane Martin and kicked two goals in a forward pocket, it is good to have that luxury of guys and that depth which we didn’t really have last year.”

Martin missed the game through off-shore work commitments, while Pendlebury sat out the second half, taking a cautious approach to a hamstring issue.

Johnstone paid particular credit to the work Will Leslie did on keeping Pepper goalless.

“Will is someone you would hate to play on,” he said.

“He is really good in the air and once the ball is on the ground he’s super fast. He had a big job today, Pepper has been the in form forward of the comp and I think Will did a really good job on him and was a big reason why we won.”

Allison capped off his milestone match with a goal, much to the delight of his coach.

“Jayden is our vice-captain, he was voted by the boys and just wears his heart on his sleeve,” he said.

“We were super happy to get the win for him.”

In determining where the game was won and lost, an aspect that stood out was how much cleaner Sale was by hand in close.

The Magpies appeared to be playing with a dry ball at times as they flicked one and two handballs around the contest before getting out in space.

The sheer size of some of Sale’s players also stood out, with many either over six foot or in the classic ‘big bodied’ mould, making them a difficult team for a fairly undersized Moe to match up on. Without stating the obvious - big blokes don’t get any smaller and tall blokes don’t get any shorter.

For Moe, a 12-point loss against an opposition boasting the likes of Shannen Lange (over 100 VFL games), Pendlebury (over 100 VFL games) and Johnstone (50 VFL games) wasn’t a performance to send too many alarm bells ringing.

Arguably the most telling difference between the sides was not so much on the field but off.

Sale had as many as four assistant coaches on the sidelines - Moe had one.

MAFFRA won a tight contest against Morwell.

The Eagles withstood a persistent Tiger outfit to win by 11 points, 11.11 (77) to 9.12 (66).

Maffra jumped out of the blocks in the first quarter at home, kicking five goals to one.

From there, Morwell edged its way back into the game, but the Eagles were always able to maintain a lead of around two to three goals.

Maffra led by 17 points with one quarter to play, and got through after both sides kicked four goals in the final term.

Morwell had chances to pinch the game, but had to lament scoring 4.7 to 4.1 in the last 20 minutes.

The win gave the Eagles their third for 2022, and keeps them within touching distance of those looking to take a place in the top five.

Alex Carr kicked three goals in a best on ground performance, as did Daniel Bedggood who was also among the most prominent Maffra players.

The experienced duo of Danny Butcher and Kade Renooy played well, while Tom Jolly was serviceable and Hudson Holmes continued his good start to the season.

Jett Killoran made his senior debut for the Eagles, following in the footsteps of father Kade and uncle Kal. Brandon McDonald kicked four goals for Morwell to be named best, and received good support from Brandon McAuliffe, Dan Musil, Zac Carlson, and the two Tyler’s, Brown and Hillier.

TRARALGON had a number of reasons to celebrate after defeating Wonthaggi.

Not only did the Maroons prevail in a four-point thriller, they were able to do so on their home ground for the first time since last year’s devastating flood.

By sheer coincidence, Saturday marked exactly one year since Traralgon had played a match for premiership points at home.

There has been no shortage of activity and discussion about the Traralgon Recreation Reserve in the 365 days in between, but most of this was surely forgotten as those wearing the maroon and white rejoiced in the homecoming.

The Maroons led at every change against the Power, eventually holding on to win 9.11 (65) to 8.13 (61).

Traralgon led by 10 points at three

quarter time, and survived a late scare from Wonthaggi after the Power hit the lead late in the day.

With injured playing coach Jake Best watching on, the Maroons other big names stood up. Ball magnet Mark Collison was best on, along with fellow midfielder Tom Schneider.

Luis D’Angelo kicked two goals, as did Brett Eddy and captain Dylan Loprese.

Mitch Membrey played arguably his best senior game for Traralgon, along with Tom McMahon and Hugh Dunbar.

Traralgon youngster Josh Hamilton made his senior debut, in what was a family affair alongside brother Tom and dad Troy who is serving as an assistant coach.

Best for Wonthaggi was Mitch Hayes, Jordan Staley and Lochlan Scott, while Jarryd Blair returned for the first time in a number of weeks, although younger brother Jack was a late withdrawal.

The win put an indifferent week for the Maroons to rest, following a somewhat shock loss to Warragul in the previous round.

Traralgon’s results to date have them looking very much like an ‘on their day’ side.

That is, one that can defeat any opponent if they perform somewhere near their optimum.

Best has been confident the Maroons system stacks up, and on the evidence so far there is nothing to suggest that isn’t the case.

Of Traralgon’s three losses, two have been against top five sides by under 10 points, and now that they have beaten Wonthaggi, their standing is only strengthened.

ELSEWHERE, Bairnsdale consigned Drouin to the foot of the ladder after winning 19.11 (125) to 10.10 (70).

The Redlegs travelled all the way to Drouin and saw playing coach Logan Austin kick six goals.

Fellow former AFL player Jed Lamb also kicked six goals for Warragul in what was a somewhat bizarre performance against Leongatha.

Lamb kicked all six of the Gulls’ goals, but it was nowhere near enough as they went down 16.13 (109) to 6.5 (41) away from home in defender Sean Westaway’s 200th senior match for the Parrots.

Lamb’s effort did however set a new record, as never before had a Gippsland League player kicked as many as six goals to make up the entire complement scored by a team.

REBOUNDING off their worst performance of the 2022 season, Churchill put an end to Yallourn Yallourn North’s winning streak in Round 6 of the North Gippsland FootballNetball League with a stirring 13-point victory at Gaskin Park.

The Cougars won 14.11 (95) to 11.16 (82).

A six goal to two opening salvo saw the home side take an even four goal lead into the first break.

It was all Churchill early with goals to Ben Kearns and Ben Skinner setting the tone before the Jets finally hit the scoreboard at the 22 minute mark through Josh Keyhoe. A follow up major to Keenan Hughes saw the Cougars lead reduced to three goals after 26 minutes of play.

Seemingly content to take that margin into the break, Jets coach Barrie Burnett released key forwards Hughes and Mitch Luck to play behind the ball for the remainder of the term.

A piercing pass from best on ground Chris Williams however dissected the eight man Jet defence and found makeshift forward Chris Wangman 30 metres out directly in front. Wangman kicked truly and registered the first of his four for the day to end the opening quarter.

Churchill looked to have their match-ups on the money with co-coach Jordan Fenech tasked with stopping YYN goal kicking machine Dean MacDonald, Kurt Holt going with Hughes and Bailey Flanigan on Luck.

When Holt went down however with what looked to be a quad injury a shuffle up was required. Flanigan switched from Luck to Hughes with Churchill co-captain Angus Mitchell now having the job with keeping up with Luck as the second quarter got underway.

This opened things up for the visitors, however if bad kicking for goal is bad footy the Jets were guilty as charged in a second term littered with wasted chances. Tindarra Hood and MacDonald both missed gettable chances early before James De Virgilio finally found the big sticks for the Jets 10 minutes in.

This goal was quickly countered by one to Churchill through Brendan Holt who had been well held by Darcy Shelcott to this point in time. It was a much needed settler for the Cougars as the Jets were far from finished with their frustrating forward forays.

A miss to Bath on the run was followed by one from Burnett with a set shot, then it was Hughes’ turn as he missed a pair of chances.

Nothing was going the way of the Jets.

And then, as if to rub their noses in it, Jake Roe-Duggan - who was a close second in the best on ground stakes - kicked an absolute ripper from the boundary for Churchill.

After having been called to play on from a set shot hard up on the boundary, RoeDuggan got around the man on the mark, then, with pressure coming from inside he had to reel back to the boundary. With a tackler imminent Roe-Duggan threw the ball on to his foot and watched the ball work from right to left like a Mitchell Johnson in-swinger and from the tightest of angels he sent the boys in the bar into raptures.

As the half-time siren sounded to end a quarter in which the visiting side had dominated play their efforts amounted to a single goal, eight behinds with two further shots ending up out on the full. For all their opportunity they had reduced their quarter time margin by only a solitary behind to 23 points.

The third term started with each side trading goals before Hughes went back-to-back at the 11 and 12 minute mark to get the Jets within two goals. Hughes’ second goal was utterly remarkable. He contested the ruck stoppage 20 metres out from goal.

The non-controlling umpire blew a free kick so Hughes threw his left slipper at the ball mid-air, striking it perfectly and sending the ball directly through the middle of the big sticks. Advantage was called, the goal registered and the away side, players and fans, were up and about.

Not to be outdone, Cain Iorangi kicked a classic at the other end and as the three quarter time siren sounded the Jets were within 16 points and all present were in agreement - it was absolutely game on.

As if spurred by the challenge it was all Churchill to start the last.

While Roe-Duggan’s opening goal was countered by Hood’s second for the day, when Wangman kicked his fourth for the game the home side’s spectators could surely breathe a little easier.

And when Brendan Holt had the chance to extend the lead beyond four goals at the seven minute mark it was surely time to break out the winner’s beers. Alas his shot sailed wide and there was still the faintest of hopes for the travelling ladder leaders.

And when Todd Rowe, he of the long sleeves

Ben Chivers featured in the best for Sale City as the Bulldogs survived a huge scare from Gormandale.

Jesse Bedgood kicked two goals to help Heyfield to their first win of the season. and sizzling left foot, went back-to-back for the Jets at the 24 minute mark the hope was no longer faint, it was real. The margin was under two goals and what had looked to be a game won two or three times was now again anyone’s.

The final act of an outstanding game typified the previous 120 or so minutes. New Cougar Nick Twomey took a pass around 60 metres from Churchill’s goal. He ran and carried the ball inside 50 and as his shot sailed through from 40 he was swamped by teammates and this time the game was won. Finally.

THE return of their Tiwi Island interlopers and that of Chris Long to the park for his first game since Round 1 was not enough to get a gallant Gormandale over the line in their clash with Sale City.

In a pulsating match that saw the lead change three times in last two minutes, the Bulldogs prevailed by five points 9.14 (68) to 9.9 (63).

When Dion Munkara put the Tigers ahead with less than 120 seconds on the clock it looked as though the home side was in for win number two for the season.

However, despite the best efforts of key defender Kodie Owen who chalked up best on ground number three in a row, Sale City was able to muster one last shot on goal. And when they kicked truly with only 45 seconds left the game was theirs for the keeping.

An honourable loss for a club that must surely be sick to the back teeth of them and

an important win to Sale City to keep their finals hopes alive.

Blake Safstrom and Ben Chivers were best for the victors.

HAVING broken their maiden last week hopes were high for Glengarry to repeat when they welcomed a winless Heyfield to town.

And when the home side led by 14 points at the last break in a low scoring contest it seemed almost a given the Magpies would be celebrating two on the trot.

A last quarter surge from the Kangaroos however saw them kick 3.4 (22) to a solitary point and the monkey was off their back, as they claimed a 7.11 (53) to 6.10 (46) victory.

Jesse Bedggood and Xavier Woodland managed two apiece for the winners while young gun Tyson Birss and the ever reliable Adam Wallace were the best performers.

Spencer Poulton and Jackson Hall were best for Glengarry.

THE Heyfield win leaves Cowwarr the only side yet to register a victory, and sadly for the Saints their clash with Woodside was all but over after they conceded eight first quarter goals at home.

The Saints toiled manfully from the first break onwards managing a respectable six goals to 14 across the final three terms.

Woodside recruit Lee Stockdale took no time endearing himself to his new club with a best on ground performance. Stockdale was lively all over the ground and rounded out his game with three majors. Dave Waddell and Daniel Missen managed six and four apiece with the silver fox, Woodside coach Michael Duncan, also slotting three. The only downside for Woodside was an early shower for Will Broadbent who must be in doubt for this week’s clash with Churchill.

Robbie Ferguson showed his class for the Saints with four majors. Shane Morgan too managed multiples, snagging a pair of goals, but it was an all too familiar scoreline for the Warr who lost 22.11 (143) to 7.5 (47).

YARRAM easily accounted for Rosedale in their clash, winning 13.14 (92) to 7.8 (50).

Corbin Sutherland was again among the goals for the Demons, kicking five for the home side.

Yarram is starting to build a side that looks more and more capable of competing at the pointy end of the season as each week passes.

Inaccuracy in front of goal prevented the Demons from a larger winning margin than the even seven goals they saluted by.

Riley Atlee and Frazar Brouns put in honest efforts for Rosedale.

TRARALGON Tyers United had the bye.

Mitch Hawkins impressed in Stratford’s win over Orbost-Snowy Rovers.

Bombers’ joy Liam Durkin

BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG broke through for its first win of the East Gippsland season at the weekend.

The Bombers finally got on the board after six weeks - but only just, getting up by two points against Paynesville.

Making the journey east, Boisdale-Briagolong was able to momentarily put a difficult start to the season behind them, holding on for dear life to win 7.12 (54) to 7.10 (52).

The victory also took the team off the foot of the ladder after neighbours Stratford demolished Orbost Snowy Rovers.

The Bombers kicked four goals in the opening quarter to take a 12-point lead at the first change.

From there, the side was able to stay ahead for the rest of the match, shaking off a determined Paynesville looking to consolidate its spot inside the top four.

Although Boisdale-Briagolong only kicked three goals after quarter time, it proved to be enough.

The third term saw a genuine stalemate ensue, as just one goal was kicked in the entire duration.

Clinging onto a 12-point lead at three-quarter time, the Bombers sent heart rates pumping as the Gulls came home with a wet sail, but the sound of the final siren netted sweet joy for all wearing the red and black.

Matt Wilkinson kicked three goals for the winners, and was ably supported by Billy Marshall, Brendon Rathnow, Paddy Mack, Cal Egan and Declan Scriven.

STRATFORD gave its percentage a decent boost thanks to a 91-point win.

The Swans overcame an early scare against Orbost Snowy Rovers, eventually running out 22.18 (150) to 9.5 (59) winners.

The long drive to Orbost may have contributed to Stratford’s sluggish start, that saw the Blues hold a five-point lead at quarter time.

From there however it was all Stratford. The Swans added seven, three and nine goals in the next three quarters while the Blues managed just five for the rest of the game.

Stratford really got going in the second, scoring

Matt Wilkinson kicked three goals for Boisdale-Briagolong at the weekend. The Bombers held on to win their first game of the season against Paynesville.

7.4 (46) to 0.1 (1) and built on its 28-point half-time lead thereafter.

The Swans took advantage of a tiring Orbost outfit in the last, blowing their opponents off the park in a bid to get the margin up around triple figures.

While this did not eventuate, a 91-point margin was every bit as good for the purpose of taking Stratford into the top four with the third best percentage of any team in the competition.

Rod O’Keefe led the scoring with seven, and was one of 11 players to get on the goal kickers list. O’Keefe was in the best players, as was Alex Morcom, Roydon Fulton, Ethan Albrecht, Regan Tait and Mitch Hawkins.

Chris Downward, Todd Griebenow and Lachlan Fenner were best for Orbost Snowy Rovers.

IN other games, Lucknow caused the boilover of the round, defeating Lindenow by 10 points.

The Magpies showed the East Gippsland competition is not a two-horse race as previously thought, and are now equal second with the Cats on the ladder.

Top of the table Wy Yung defeated a plucky Lakes Entrance by 16 points.

The Tigers remain unbeaten while the Seagulls are two wins and four losses.

ROWERS SET FOR OVERSEAS TRIP

TWO Gippsland Grammar rowers have been selected by Rowing Australia in the team that will represent Australia at the World Championships in Italy in July.

Year 12 students Lindsay Hamilton and Billy Osborne have been selected in the Under-19 Men’s Quad Scull alongside two students from St Joseph’s Nudgee College in Queensland.

They join more than 40 rowers from across Australia in the team that will compete in the World Championships in Varese, Italy from July 25-31.

This will be the first time since 2019 that Australia has been represented at an underage level internationally.

In an extra coup for the independent school, Gippsland Grammar’s Head of Rowing Nick Bartlett has also been selected as coach for the Under-19 Men’s Quad Scull team while Old Scholar from the Class of 2019 Paige Barr was also selected in the under-23 Women’s Coxless Four.

The news follows Gippsland Grammar’s recent success at the Australian Rowing Championships in Nagambie in April which saw the school bring home two national titles and two silver medals, making it the most successful nationals campaign in the history of the school.

It is also hot on the heels of the news that the school’s Open Men’s Quad crew - which includes both Lindsay and Billy alongside fellow students Cameron Rule and Anthony Smith - will also represent the school at the Henley Royal Regatta in the UK from June 28–July 3.

That means Lindsay and Billy will have just a three-week break between competing in the UK and competing in Italy.

Bartlett said the two upcoming international competitions was an incredibly satisfying achievement for the school’s senior rowers following years of dedication and early morning training which is done in conjunction with the students maintaining their studies.

“To be selected to represent Australia at a World Championships is one of the highest honours that you can achieve in rowing,” Bartlett said.

“Billy has been in our rowing program since Year 7 and Lindsay joined when he came to the school in Year 10. Since then, the boys have seen success after success but this (the World Championships) has always been the ultimate goal.

“For Lindsay and Billy to achieve this in what is their final year of schooling is such an amazing achievement and incredibly satisfying for both of them. It’s been a pleasure for me to

work with two rowers who give their all every single time they get on the water and they absolutely deserve this success and will do their best at the championships.”

Lindsay and Billy are currently training with their Gippsland Grammar teammates for the Henley Royal Regatta and at the conclusion of that competition they will travel straight to Varese in Italy for a three-week training camp with their Rowing Australia teammates before the World Championships on Lake Varese from July 25.

The Gippsland Grammar community has wished them all the best for this exciting endeavour.
