18-STOREY TOWER FOR FRANKSTON

■ An 18-storey mixed use building has been approved 89 Young St, Frankston.

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal members J.A. Bennett and K. Birtwistle last week handed down a determination to allow a permit to Franky Investments Pty Ltd. The multi-levl development is to include retail space, offices and dwellings in the commercial zone property.

A reduction in car parking requirements has been allowed by the Tribunal.

Expert evidence in favour of the development was called from urban designer Mark Sheppard and town planner David Crowder, with a statement from Chris Goss of Orbit Solutions Pty Ltd. The matter found its way to the Tribunal after Frankston City Council failed to grant a permit within the prescribed time.

The site on the Playne St corner has a frontage of 42 metres, with 74 metres fronting Young St. A single-storey building with rooftop parking is currently on the block, and is currently used as a medical and dental centre, and chemist.

The application originally sought permission for a 22-storey building.

The Council indicated that, had it been in a position to decide on the matter, it would have refused a permit. There will be 146 dwellings in the development.

Storm clean-up

■ The sum of $500,000 will be transferred from Cardinia Council’s strategic reserves to enable the completion of the storm debris clean-up. The change in budget arrangements was made by Councillors as they voted to commit to the 2024-25 budget, which now includes $240,000 for the Koo Wee Rup pool pod.

■ Mornington Peninsula Shire has employed IDCARE, Australia’s national identity and cyber support community service, after an incident involved unauthorised access to OracleCMS systems, and the theft of data which was then published online.

The Council said that a cyber security incident involved OracleCMS, who managed out-of-hours customer calls to the Shire.

“The review of the data has confirmed that it is mostly historical data dating from 2015 to 2020 (with the majority of the data from 2015), which contained personal information such as the name and phone number of the person contacting our out-of-hours service to report an issue,” said a Council statement.

“In some instances, a street address, often relating to where an out-of-hours issue was identified, was also involved.

“No financial information or passwords were contained in the information collected.”

HAMPTON PARK DOCTOR MAY WORK

Lic No: 106191

SHIRE EMPLOYS CYBER EXPERTS

■ Dr Michelle Kenney of Hampton Park Women’s Clinic has been granted permission to work again, until her case can be heard in full by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

VCAT Senior Member Elizabeth Wentworth this month determined that Dr Kenney may only “practise medicine in roles providing direct clinical care to patients” and “most not practise in any role and/or position which includes responsibility for clinical governance or the management or supervision of other health practitioners or students”.

The next administrative mention on the case is scheduled for this Friday (June 28).

The Herald Sun reported that Dr Kenney was suspended last month by the Medical Board of Australia, after her clinic was stripped of surgical accreditation following fast-tracked inspections.

“Dr Kenney’s clinic had come to the Health Department’s attention after the death of patient Harjit Kaur following surgery on January 12,” noted the daily newspaper’s journalist Sarah Booth.

“Her cause of death is still unknown and VCAT heard an autopsy found no evidence of ‘complications after surgery and ruled out adverse effects of anaesthesia, infection and other conditions or reactions.”

264,000 new homes in region ● Eden Foster, Mulgrave MLA The importance of the local Vietnamese community in the Mulgrave electorate, and in Springvale, was mentioned in State Parliament last week by Eden Foster MLA. “I stand here today to recognise the Vietnamese Australian Senior Association of Victoria and the amazing work that they do in my community. VASA organises regular meetings and social activities to provide the Vietnamese senior community the opportunity to socialise and build lifelong relationships. In a world where people are finding it harder and harder to build and maintain friendships, the work groups like VASA do is becoming more and more important. I would like to thank VASA for coming in today and joining me here in Parliament this morning. It was lovely to catch up with them. The Vietnamese community is incredibly important in my electorate of Mulgrave, particularly in the suburb of Springvale. In Springvale more than 20 per cent of the population were born in Vietnam and more than a quarter of the suburb speak Vietnamese at home, according to the 2021 census. In fact there are parts of Springvale where a majority of people speak Vietnamese at home. I am proud to have one of the largest Vietnamese communities not only in the state but in the country, and I am thankful that I have been able to attend a number of events within the local Vietnamese community, including celebrations for Lunar New Year and VASA’s annual Mother’s Day events. I would like to thank VASA for the work that they do and our Vietnamese community for their great contributions not only to my electorate of Mulgrave but also to our state of Victoria.”

■ Carrum MLA Sonya Kilkenny, in her role as State Planning Minister, has announced ambitious housing targets for local municipalities.

Ms Kilkenny joined with Premier Jacinta Allan and Kingston Mayor Jenna Davey-Burns kicking off the next stage of local government consultation on draft housing capacity targets tailored for every local government area in the state. Final targets are to be released by the end of this year.

Cardinia Shire currently has 46,400 homes.

Another 36,000 are expected to be built between now and the year 2051.

At Casey, 104,000 new homes are planned in addition to the existing 131,000 dwellings.

The City of Frankston, currently with 59,800 homes, has a projection of 36,000 new homes.

Mornington Peninsula Shire, currently with 94,900, is programmed to have 31,000 new places under the targets.

The Greater Dandenong municipality is called upon to grow by 57,000 from 59,400.

“The draft housing targets represent an initial distribution of new homes across each local government area,” said a Government statement “When finalised, local government housing targets will be an important element of a new plan for Victoria.”

Parking plans for Mt Eliza

● An aerial view of Mount Eliza.

■ Mornington Peninsula Shire is asking the Mount Eliza community for their feedback on a new strategy to improve parking in the town centre.

The Council is keen to hear from all residents and business owners, and community groups based in the town centre.

“There is a strong reliance on car travel in Mount Eliza and well-planned car parking is important to support the Village,” said a Council representative.

“There is limited opportunity to increase parking in the Village, therefore the draft Mount Eliza Car Parking Strategy proposes a range of recommendations focusing on efficient use of existing car parking.

Key recommendations of the strategy include expanding 3P parking area, signage and implementation of smart parking technology

Don’t close PO: Mayor ● Pauline Richards MLA Cranbourne MLA Pauline Richards has had a good word for the Cranbourne Football Netball Club “for what has been a really important club and a really successful season so far”.

Ms Richards said: “I am always grateful for the hospitality, and I was pleased to be able to go down with my friend Mr Galea from the other place to visit. There is a lot going on in Cranbourne. I have a really strong and vibrant community, and I am always grateful.”

■ Frankston City Council Mayor Cr Nathan Conroy has urged Australia Post not to close its outlet in Wells St, central Frankston.

Cr Conroy said the Australia Post shop in central Frankston was an essential service at the heart of the community.

“Our CBD is one of nine metropolitan activity centres designated by the Victorian Government to support business and residential growth, and the delivery of essential services for the community,” Cr Conroy said.

“With 8000 new residents in central Frankson expected in the next 15 years, change is happening, with new businesses setting up, new developments are getting underway.

“Australia Post has announced plans for the closure of the Frankston Central Post Shop in August. The plan means there will no longer be a post office outlet in central Frankston.”

Cr Conroy said this means that those who live or work in the Frankston CBD will need to travel to Yuille St Frankston South, Heatherhill Rd in Frankston Heights, or Beach St in Frankston East, for the most basic postal and financial services including sending a registered letter, paying a bill or renewing a passport.

● Frankston Mayor Cr Nathan Conroy said that the Wells St Post Office is an “essential service”

Council News Permit for Tyabb

■ The Victorian Civil and Administrative Trubunal has put aside a decision of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council about Tyabb Airfield.

The Tribunal determined that a permit should be issued to the Peninsula Aero Club allowing runway works to be carried out, including shoulders. Construction works are estimated to total $350,000.

Tribunal members Teresa Bisucci (Deputy President) and Rachel Naylor heard that it was proposed to reseal the 1000-metre north-south runaway surface and reconstruct the shoulders with crushed rock and a sealed surface.

The Mornington Peninsula Council received 50 objections from surrounding residents. The Council said it later determined that it would have granted a permit, subject to conditions.

Objectors said that there could be a siginificant increase in air traffic because pilots will be more confident in using a runway that is sealed for a width of 16m when compared to a width of 10m.

It was contended that aircraft owners who do not usually hanger their aircraft at Tyabb may do so because the 16m wide runway provides a better training environment.

“Pilots who are not willing to use a 10m runway may be willingt to use a 16m runaway.”

The increased use of the airfield could lead to an increased number of circuits around Tyabb, Somerville and Hastings.

Local Theatre Art of Banksy

■ True to the elusive Banksy himself, the venue Level 1, Docklands Drive was difficult to find through a maze of roadworks not well lit or signposted. But the experience was totally worth the effort.

This is the largest of the Australian exhibitions – more than 180 exhibits – and it superbly presents the images alongside succinct statements about much of the subject matter.

For images or installations less well known, it’s such fun to work out your own understanding and then read slightly differing thoughts.

This is the brilliance of Banksy’s skill.

There is often a wry humour evident in even the darkest war torn images or the anger of military destruction. His power to prod us into questioning government actions, rules we accept, results we believe to be accurate, is immeasurable.

Banksy is a genuine, gentle, anarchic, mind revolutionary, prodding us all to query even our own existence. Are we the consumer or the commodity? Where do we fit?

Who’s in charge? A brilliant cross-age exhibit to love is the Chimpanzee with his billboard apron “Laugh now, but one day we’ll be in charge.”

Without Limits is laid out in different, accessible rooms and we enter after being frisked by (his often used) “police.” His wide ranging attitudes to overbearing police is most obvious with one of them carefully checking ‘Dorothy’s’ famous basket from The Wizard of Oz. Innocence versus overriding authority.

In Without Limits there is such variety – the immersive Infinity Room with endless mirrors, and the fabulous dark parody ‘Dismaland’.

From obscurity and mystery, Banksy has risen to be a household name. He did not seek money or adulation. Look up his Morons 2006 art auction reading ‘The Art of Banksy: Without Limits’.

Check dates carefully and do not miss this brilliant exhibition – film, cartoon, prints, audio, immersive experiences all superbly presented by Fever, a live entertainment discovery platform dedicated to democratising access to culture and entertainment.

Finucane and Smith

■ Finucane and Smith present The Exotic Lives of Lola Montez at Chapel off Chapel, Prahran, until June 30.

Lola Montez is the scandalous ‘spider dancer’ of the 19th century who famously toured Australia in 1855. Her scandalous legend includes horsewhipping the editor of the Ballarat Times (for a bad review), swung down mineshafts on a single rope with champagne in hand and was showered with gold nuggets and insults. Her erotic Spider Dance was “the most libertinish and indelicate performance that could be given on the public stage” (The Sydney Morning Herald, 1855).

The Finucane and Smith show stars triple Best Actress Winner (and direct descendant of Lola herself) Miss Caroline Lee, burlesque goddess Miss Maple Rose and operatic disco diva Piera Dennerstein. Decked in couture black lace, wild tales, jaw-dropping dance, sultry song and a death scene or three.

Written by Patrick White Playwright Award winner Jackie Smith and directed by international Queen of Provocative Variety Moira Finucane, Lola is described as 'a wildly contemporary dreamscape steeped in Australian history and the extraordinary lives and freedom of one of the world’s most adventurous women.'

Performance Season: Until June 30, Wed.Sat. at 8pm, Sun. 6pm. Venue: Chapel Off Chapel, 12 Little Chapel St., Prahran. Bookings: https://chapeloffchapel.com.au/show/ finucane-smiths-the-exotic-lives-of-lolamontez/ - Cheryl Threadgold

● Walison Muh, comedic host of Silvers Circus ■ The Silvers Circus Spectacular is back at Burnley Oval, Richmond, from June 28- July 21.

Silvers Circus has been a household name since the early 1970s and each year brings acts to the big top for over two hours (with 15minute intermission).

Walison Muh, known for Australia’s Got Talent, is a new addition and comedic host for the night.

Silvers will present all the acts for which it has become famous including The Wheel of Steel in which Dominik Gasser and Mewin Garcia hurl themselves around the spinning wheel in a gravity-defying experience, the Wonder Dogs and their performing tricks, the Phoenix Riders who will ride around the big metallic ball coined the Globe of Destiny, and Gypsy Gomez who plays tunes on her HiTech deck whilst spinning up a whirlwind of hoops.

The newly created Sideshow Alley will bring a more adult experience for those looking for a party night out. Punters can grab a drink at the bar and try their hand at the Claw, the skill test machine and Hammer (to see how strong they are). Performers hail from all over the globe (harking back to Silver’s European origins) in this international entertainment experience.

Dominik Gasser and Rosita Gasser, after taking over the circus from their parents, are keeping this sixth generation, Australian institution alive. Taking the circus to the community they will hold a fundraiser for Epworth Hospital on July 3 with other special events with Richmond Football Club.

“We are so excited to be bringing Silvers to Richmond this Winter and can’t wait to see the local community under the big top,” said Rosita, co-owner.

“Continuing the family tradition alive is something Dominik and I are really passionate about as is supporting the local community at a grassroots level.”

Tickets are available to purchase now from SilversCircus.com.au and start from $25 for children running through to $60 for a ringside adult ticket.

MOSCOW CIRCUS EXTREME ■ The Melbourne season of The Great Moscow Circus Extreme, with death-defying acts from around the globe, will be presented from Friday, June 28 to Sunday, July 14 at the J.L. Murphy Reserve, Cnr Graham St. and Williamstown Rd., Port Melbourne.

COVID grounded the Circus in 2021 and due to the sensitive political world situation, the carefully chosen superstars have come together for the first time in a new show performing throughout Victoria.

The Great Moscow Circus first visited Australia in 1965 under the auspices of the Edgley Organisation and has continued every three to five years in Australia and New Zealand ever since.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991 , the Edgley family purchased (Trademarks) on the ownership of the name.

These trademarks are currently owned by the Edgley family and the Weber Circus Family, both of Australia and have no association or affiliation whatsoever with the government of Russia.

The Great Moscow Circus is an extremely strong brand name built up in Australia and New Zealand since the 1960s with over seven million attending different seasons.

This season the Great Moscow Circus Extreme comprises superstar international acts from Armenia, Ukraine, Brazil, Columbia, Greece, New Zealand and Australia.

The acts include daredevil BMX and Pro Scooter Riders, multi-motorcycle cage riders and a world record acclaimed pole act. Online The Armenian clown has been revered as 'the funniest in the world' leaving audiences roaring in laughter.

The Wheel of Death and electrifying high tricks on the trampoline heighten the extreme theme. Several aerial acts and a trapeze act tote techno colour lighting and superb costuming.

The Great Moscow Circus Extreme is touring for the first time in six years throughout Victoria.

Performance Dates: June 28 - July 14 Venue: J.L. Murphy Reserve, Cnr Graham St. and Williamstown Rd., Port Melbourne.

Popera

■ Entertainment Publicist turned writer, producer and director turned cabaret songwriter Bronny Lane has teamed up with Australia’s favourite Crohn’s and allergy cabaret girl Uma Dobia to give birth to a new show.

Introducing Popera: Sex, Death and Politics, where the past and present collide in a concoction of cross-genre storytelling, comedy and original music highlighting the plight of the diva of today and yesteryear.

Hot on the heels of performances at Hollywood Fringe Festival, Popera will quickly stop back in Melbourne at The Butterfly Club before heading to Camden Fringe Festival in London in August.

Inspired by a love of singing pop songs in an operatic style (for giggles) Bronny Lane and Uma Dobia decided a collaboration was in order.

Particularly given the state of gendered violence in today’s climate and their shared musical pedigree as alumni of the Conservatorium of Music at Melbourne University.

For all the fun to be had, Popera: Sex, Death and Politics reveals a deeper thematic material that shows not much has changed since Dido in Les Troyens stabbed herself with a sword in an obvious symbol of male penetration. Fast forward to 2024 and things off stage in pop don’t seem much better. There’s R. Kelly, the famous Taylor Swift court case and of course Britney.

Meanwhile, operatic divas are committing suicide, suffering abuse, infidelity and more. And then there is the ageism suffered by divas across the board. Classic operas prove that the issues of yesteryear are still very much relevant today.

Observations English Eccentrics

● Douglas Kelly ■ It is not often an opera company puts out a press release with the suggestion that the reader should imagine the love child of Monty Python and a high camp Jane Austen.

That is the introduction to Victorian Opera’s forthcoming production of Australian expatriate composer Malcolm Williamson’s opera English Eccentrics.

The opera is based on a 1933 Edith Sitwell novel, and in it we meet 39 misfits in Regency England in a series of vignettes. These English Eccentrics range from maids and tradies to the upper class and clergymen.

It is the first ever professional production of English Eccentrics in Australia, and Victorian Opera artistic director Stuart Maunder is embracing this challenge.

Malcolm Williamson lived from 1931 to 2003 and like many other Australian creatives of the time, left home for England to carve out a very successful career.

English Eccentrics was staged in England in 1943 and was an immediate hit. But it was never formally published, so Victorian Opera pieced together the opera from a range of sources from hand-written notes to sketchy recordings.

The reasons for the lack of an Australian performance of it before now have been lost in rumour and mystery, but it has been said that the opera was hidden because others were jealous of Williamson’s success, as he was known as the most commissioned composer in Britain.

Williamson described his characters as “all ultimately unacceptable to others”, yet he himself was famously eccentric, often the subject of controversy and gossip for his various sexual liaisons with both men and women.

English writer Sitwell was well aware of her country’s reputation for producing eccentric characters.

“Eccentricity exists particularly in the English, and partly, I think, because of that peculiar and satisfactory knowledge of infallibility that is the hallmark and birthright of the British nation,” Sitwell wrote.

All these elements combine to promise a fun night at the opera, with an enthusiastic cast of singers including the 2024 Victorian Opera Emerging Artist Prize winners, soprano Michaela Cadwgan and tenor Douglas Kelly.

English Eccentrics is playing at the Union Theatre, Melbourne University from July 46. For details and bookings visit victorianopera.com.au - Julie Houghton

■ The City of Whittlesea has launched the Business Opportunity Explorer, an online platform designed to assist businesses in identifying optimal locations within the municipality.

The interactive online tool streamlines the process of researching and shortlisting potential new sites for business, taking the guesswork out of decision-making about the best location for businesses.

The Council says that the Explorer is suitable for businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises.

Conflict of interest

■ At last week’s Mitchell Shire Council meeting, Cr Rhonda Sanderson declared a direct conflict of interest in an item about ‘Supporting our Community Volunteers’as her daughter is a member of the Seymour SES management team.

Local News

‘Govt neglects Ranges, NE’ ■ The Labor State Government continues to neglect Yarra Ranges and North-East communities, State Parliament has been toled.

“Locally emergency services have been let down. We have got the Mansfield SES station and the ambulance station, which are both well past their use-by dates,” Eildon MLA Condy McLeish said last week.

“The Council have identified the area for the emergency services precinct. Everybody is waiting for this to happen. Both of these projects have been in the top few for easily the last six years, and we have had no action.

“Yarck CFA continue to be located in the middle of the shops on the main street there, despite land being purchased maybe seven years ago around the corner to get them off that busy little tourist destination there.

“Hoddles Creek CFA told me the other day it looks as though any plans that they had to have their station rebuilt – which there were; they had seen plans – have all been mothballed. This Government is letting down so many.

“The sporting clubs in my area need upgrading. At Wesburn junior footy club, Wayne, the president there, does so much to advocate to Council and to me and to the federal member Aaron Violi.

“At Healesville Queens Park and the Don Road precinct need doing. Panton Hill’s footy ground needs doing. The whole lot needs bulldozing and the Council are looking at plans, but the plans do not go anywhere if the Growing Suburbs Fund has been axed or reduced significantly.

“Poor old Wesburn Primary School on the busy Warburton Highway – it is foggy; it is on a big sweeping curve – have wanted electronic speed signs for the best part of seven or eight years, and the Government has not delivered.

It is one that we pledged time and time again for the safety of the schoolkids in Wesburn. The school have worked so hard to push for this, but it has fallen on deaf ears,” Ms McLeish said.

Local Briefs Active at Forum

■ Mitchell Shire Councillors have voted unanimously to actively participate in the Taungurung-Local Government Forum.

Moved by Cr Nathan Clark, seconded by Cr Rob Eldridge, the Council has agreed to become a member of the forum.

No media tender

■ Murrindindi Shire Council has refused to put its local newspaper 2024-25 advertising contract to competitive tender.

The Council, led by CEO Livia Bonazzi, have opted to continue using the Alexandra Standard (1235 copies) and Yea Chronicle (335 copies), and 15 online subscribers.

The Local Paper’s Regional Edition (also in Mitchell and Yarra Ranges) has a 4070 print run, and 1523 opt-in online subscribers.

Ms Bonazzi’s team declined to even ask for 2024-25 prices from The Local Paper, but did send an unsigned email last Thursday (June 20) informing of their decision.

“We note that despite our requests in 2023, The Local Paper has not been able to provide accurate data on actual readership numbers (as distinct from the number of printed copies circulated to various outlets),” said the Council correspondence.

In june 2023, The Local Paper provided a detailed written list of the exact number of newspapers delivered to every location in Murrindindi Shire.

■ Removing the level crossing at Watson St in Wallan must be a priority project, says Northern Victoria MLC Wendy Lovell.

Ms Lovell spoke in State Parliament last week to call on the government to add the Watson St level crossing to its list of crossings slated for removal.

Ms Lovell said that serious traffic congestion caused by the level crossing is set to get worse after the State Labor Government announced that Mitchell Shire will be expected to increase its housing stock by 312 per cent, which will put enormous pressure on local road and rail infrastructure.

“The Wallan diamond project at the intersection of Watson St and the Hume Freeway is desperately needed for an important growth area, but has been endlessly delayed by Labor,” Ms Lovell said.

“When the State Government finally starts construction of the Wallan diamond ramps, it must include removal of the level crossing as an essential part of the intersection upgrade.”

Care fee increase

■ Murrindindi Shire Council looks set to increase its 2024-25 Family Day Care levy to differentiate between Murrindindi residents and non-residents.

The levy for non-residents is likely to increase from $2.25 per hour to $3 per hour.

“This is recommended to address the costof-service provision and to reduce the subsidy of non-resident service costs from Murrindindi Shire Council rate revenue,” says a report to Councillors.

■ Challenges relating to parking on the Mornington Peninsula were raised last week in State Parliament by Mornington Peninsula MLA Chris Crewther.

He presented a petition bearing 3316 signatures: “This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly that the paid parking pilot introduced in November 2023 is having grave negative effects on small business, local residents, families and visitors,” said the petition.

“Business sale declines of upto 20 per cent, numerous negative reviews, fines and complaints have presented to local councillors, its CEO and relevant shire teams with little response or concern.

“The area operates under a video number plate recognition system that only allows 15 minutes from entry at the esplanade to exit before an infringement is issued via the mail.

“This is not stated on any signage and could be seen as fraudulent as one may not be physically parked but merely looking for a spot, commercially doing a delivery, be on MYC private property, a service technician, an Uber driver, awaiting a takeaway service from the hospitality venues, a motorcyclist parked on a legal footpath, be assisting a grandparent or disabled person.

eligible areas. No tap and pay facilities are offered, only APP or QR online severely inhibiting the elderly visiting our public area.

“Mornington’s famous picnic family friendly park, pier and foreshore area should NOT be the target of a local councils funding crisis.

“Alternative means to raise funds need tabling rather than targeting local well established businesses recovering from a global pandemic and removing the free use from both local families and families abroad the public gems we have.

“The public park and its surrounds have never been so quiet and unfrequented.

“The overflow of parking has only expanded into neighbouring streets creating stress abroad.

“Save our public areas, support small business, increase tourism and its flow on effects,” the petition said.

The petition requests that the Legislative Assembly call on the Government to remove the current Mornington Peninsula paid parking pilot program immediately.

■ A petition bearing 134 signatures was last week week presented to State Parliament by Berwick MLA Brad Battin.

The petition noted that there is no reliable phone reception in the Minta Estate Berwick and region surrounding and including Halcyon Stockland Berwick.

“Residents are unable to get enough phone signal to make basic call functions. The newly developed area does not have sufficient communication infrastructure to support the amount of coverage that is needed.

People are concerned they are unable to make basic calls in times of emergency.’

The Legislative Assembly was called upon to review planning laws to ensure adequate communication infrastructure is installed.

● Dr Sofokis ‘Con’ Lahanis in 2006.

■ Dr Sofokis Lahanis , employed by TLC Primary Care of Frankston North, has been accused to have failed to obtain informed consent from a female patient before conducting an internal vaginal examination.

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal members N. Campbell, Dr R. Mason and Dr P. McNeill considered if the internal examination of the patient “was not clinically indicated”.

The treatment was said to not be consistent with current clinical practice, the Tribunal said, noting that Dr Lahanis failed to maintain adequate records in respect of the consultation in 2021. “The records were not clear, accurate, up-to-date, and legible.”

The Tribunal was told that Dr Lahanis failed ther administrative mention was due on June to maintain professional boundaries with the patient, made sexualised comments “that could be reasonably be interpreted as being diagnosed or intended to arouse or gratify sexual desire”.

Dr Lahanis told the patient that she was AND “very beautiful” while performing an internal vaginal examination.

Dr Lahanis denied some of the conduct. He did accept that he not appropriately and adequately seek and establish consent. He said the examination was not for his sexual gratification. Dr Lahanis took issue with a number of particulars relied upon by the Board.

Dr Lahanis had been suspended, but that was lifted subject to certain conditions.

The Tribunal heard that Dr Lahanis was found in an earlier case to have engaged in similar conduct to that which is alleged in the current case.

In that case, the Panel found that the doctor had hugged an 18-year-old female, and kissed her on the lips, saying “you are a very sexy girl”. He is said to have rubbed and stroked her upper thigh.

Dr Lahanis grduated from Monash University in 1994. He worked at the Family Care Medical Centre in Mount Waverley, then started work with TLC Primary Care in 2018.

“Oh, oh!” he gasped. “Oh okay! Wow. You’re not kidding right? I’ve won $2.5 million? Wow, okay. “I’ve lost my appetite. I was making some toast, but I think I need to turn the toaster off.

“I’m numb. I don’t know what to feel. I bought this ticket as a one off and I never thought I’d win.

LIGHTSCAPE IN GARDENS ■ Returning to the Royal Botanical Gardens this year, Lightscape is a spectacular illuminated walking trail.

Happening after sunset, it involves walking along a designated path where a mix of installations, lighting displays and soundscapes give a totally new immersive experience of the RBG. Going in a single direction, the trail begins at Observatory Gate and ends at Oak Lawn Gate, a distance of a little over two kilometres in total.

Along the trail at various stations, there are a wide variety of different lighting and sound effects to be found.

Each station has a title with credits as to who was involved in producing the work on display.

Such work might be something as simple as a single tall gum lit from below in a brilliant purple glow.

Or, at the other end of the spectrum, a work might be highly elaborate, involving an installation where sculptural creations are bathed in different colours as various lighting effects play out to music or a soundscape.

It would be difficult to single out any one of the many works as a bestin-show but, to give some sense of what to expect, the work titled The Winter Cathedral is a favourite from previous years.

It consists of an archway several metres long which is beautifully illuminated by hundreds, possibly thousands of small white lights.

You can walk through the archway and bathe in its soft embracing glow.

Produced by the Culture Creative team based in Northumberland, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland, Lightscape is a wonderful example of the highly collaborative nature that such endeavours involve.

The CC team works with local artists and designers in producing and displaying existing artworks and commissioned works.

An event that has been delighting Melbournians for several years now, this year's Lightscape is once again likely to sell out quickly as it is an astonishing, at times ravishing, delight for the senses.

Venue: Royal Botanical Gardens, enter via Observatory Gate near the Visitor Centre, Birdwood Avenue, opposite the Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne Dates and times: Until August 4 at various days/times Duration: 90 minutes to 2 hours Tickets: $40-144 Bookings: https://premier.ticketek. c o m . a u / s h o w s / s h o w. a s p x ? sh=LSTOURS24 - Review by Peter Murphy

Memories of Frank ● Frank Van Straten AM ■ A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 16 at 1pm at the Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne, to honour the life and achievements of Frank Van Straten AM, theatre historian, archivist, author, radio presenter and devoted patron of the performing arts..

The service will be open to the public and available to view on a livestream, giving an opportunity to commemorate Frank's life and reflect on his extraordinary legacy.

Frank Van Straten published eight books on Australian theatre history, and was the inaugural archivist at the Performing Arts Museum (now Australian Performing Arts Collection), at Arts Centre Melbourne. He became its founding director between 1984 and 1993.

Between 1986 and 2001, Van Straten researched and presented ABC Radio Melbourne's Nostalgia segment, broadcast on Melbourne's 774 and the ABC Regional Network.

In 2001, Van Straten acted as the Historical Consultant for Graeme Murphy's dance musical Tivoli, performed by the Sydney Dance Company, which premiered at the State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne.

Serving on many boards, committees and panels across the arts and cultural sector, Frank also served on the judging panels of the Green Room Awards and Helpmann Awards.

Arts Centre Melbourne Director, Collections and Exhibitions, Sandra Bruce, says: "At Arts Centre Melbourne, Frank was our first archivist, and played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Australian Performing Arts Collection in the 1970s, becoming its founding Director in 1984. He remained passionately dedicated to the Collection throughout his life, and together with his partner Adrian Turley, generously established the Frank Van Straten Fellowship, ensuring his enduring legacy and helping our extraordinary Collection to inform, engage and inspire future audiences."

Rourke’s Reviews Bottoms

■ (MA). 90 minutes. Now available on select digital platforms.

After garnering much-deserved attention with her feature length directorial debut, Shiva Baby, in 2020 (based on her 2018 short film), writer/director Emma Seligman followed up that critical success with a high school comedy that couldn’t be any more different in tone, although some similar themes run throughout.

Rachel Sennott, who starred in Shiva Baby (and co-writes here with Seligman), is PJ, who along with her best friend Josie (Ayo Edebiri), are gay students who are at the bottom of the school hierarchy, humiliated on a daily basis by the popular crowd.

Deciding to take matters into their own hands, the two start up a Fight Club style defence class, even if PJ and Josie’s sole reason to do it is to hopefully get the attention of two students they have crushes on, Brittany (Kaia Gerber) and Isabel (Havana Rose Liu) respectively. The class does get a number of applicants, including Hazel (Ruby Cruz), and as the group start to bond, it becomes apparent that these girls have had to suffer through horrific bullying and physical attacks.

As the big football game approaches, things start to get out of hand. Segilman and Sennott (who also recently appeared in the much more uneven Bodies, Bodies, Bodies) are totally committed to their material, which is a deliberate tearing apart of all those 80’s John Hughes high school movies we are so nostalgic about, and while some were genuine classics (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), they did only look at a particular sector of the community.

The diversity of colour, beliefs and sexual identity is vigorously presented here, using profane humour to terrific effect, an approach that could have so easily fallen on its face.

The cast are wonderful right across the board, and the chemistry between many of them is totally convincing.

Even the actors’ ages and the choice of music is effectively skewed. Bottoms is hilarious, but also heartfelt, made by people who are passionate about the topics raised within the seemingly knockabout and raucous plot. This is high energy entertainment of the highest order, and would make a great double bill with Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart (2019). With Sennott about to be seen in the well-reviewed I Used To Be Funny, this is a great way to be introduced (along with Shiva Baby) to this very talented actor/writer.

RATING - ****

The Kitchen

■ (M). 107 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix.

Oscar-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya (Judas And The Black Messiah, Get Out, Nope) made his directorial debut with this compelling sci-fi/drama, a serious-minded, thoughtful and eventually moving examination of poverty, class inequality, and the importance of human connection. Kane Robinson stars as Izi, a loner who resides in a densely populated area in London known as ’The Kitchen’, where poor communities are living under difficult circumstances. Making things even more difficult is that the occupants are being forcibly removed by the police, who are raiding the buildings in increasingly regular fashion, as public housing is about to be outlawed. Izi works at a company called Life After Life, in which people who can’t afford normal burial services can have their deceased loved ones turned into trees to be planted. On one such day, Izi encounters young Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman), who has just lost his mother, whom Izi knew.

Beni, who now feels lost, tries to connect with Izi, wanting someone to help him get through a tragic time in his life. Initially pushing the young teen away, Izi begins to take Benji under his wing, especially when he sees the possible criminal path he could be manipulated into going down. As the authorities’ control tightens around the world they live in, Izi and Benji attempt to hang on to hope. Kaluuya, co-directing with Kibwe Tavares, impressively create a near-future world that is unfortunately all-too-believable, where the gap between rich and poor is increasing, and the rights of the latter are either being restricted or completely stripped away.

Kaluuya also seems to have tapped into his own childhood in presenting his story, which is clever and impactful, giving what is a cold environment a much-needed human factor. Performances are excellent, with Robinson and Bannerman both sharing a strong chemistry, while detailing their characters’ particular pain, disconnect, and cautious need to be wanted. Technically the film is first-rate, with the world the film-makers have imagined looking absolutely plausible. The main issues are pacing, which can slow at times, and the material being so ambitious, that you wish it was detailed more thoroughly over a longer running time. These flaws aside, The Kitchen was unfairly overlooked when first released, but deserves to be seen by a larger audience. Definitely worth seeking out, as it sees another actor make a notable move behind the camera.

Magazine ■ It is hard to believe that an actor could make his screen debut at the age of 62 and go on to appear in a series of classic Hollywood films.

Sydney Greenstreet had a career that lasted only eight years but he became famous throughout the world and is still seen by generation after generation.

I always thought he was American and came from the deep South - boy was I wrong - read on.

Sydney Hughes Greenstreet was born in Sandwich, Kent, England, in 1879 and he came from a family of seven children.

Sydney left home at age 18 to make his fortune as a Ceylon tea planter but drought forced him out of business and he returned to England where eventually he entered the acting profession.

His first role was as a murderer called Craigen’ in Sherlock Holmes in 1902 at the Marina Theatre in Ramsgate, Kent.

Sydney toured England with Ben Greet's Shakespearian Company and in 1907 he made his Broadway debut. In 1912 he married Dorothy Ogden and they had a son.

Sydney Greenstreet's career onstage was quite amazing, he played roles in plays, musicals such as Roberta and many great characters in Shakespearian plays which included The Merchant of Venice, Macbeth and As You Like It. He was offered countless roles in films but

Sydney made his screen debut in the movie achieving instant screen immortality as ‘Kasper Gutman’, he was nown as ‘The Fat Man’ and it was the first of many ruthless rogues he was to play during his film career.

Warner Brothers Studios immediately signed Sydney to a long-term contract.

His next role was in They Died With Their Boots On and he starred opposite Errol Flynn.

Of the 23 films he appeared in, nine were with co-star Peter Lorre.

His other films included Across The Pacific, Passage To Marseille, The Hucksters, The Mask Of Dimitrios and The Woman in White.

When he retired from films Sydney played Nero Wolfe on the NBC radio program, The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe.

The story goes that he was partially the inspiration for the 'Jabba the Hutt' character in the George Lucas film Return Of The Jedi.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK n After 33 years on London’s West End, The Woman in Black is the second longest-running show next to Agatha Christie's timeless murder mystery, The Mousetrap.

While The Mousetrap famously urges its audience to safeguard the killer’s identity, the spinechilling conclusion of The Woman in Black equally deserves secrecy.

While there are ample ghostly moments, it’s that final realisation of the legacy of The Woman in Black that delivers a profound and lingering terror.

The Australian tour, directed by the original London director Robin Herford, stars John Waters and Daniel MacPherson, who execute this thrilling two-hander, switching between characters and accents, with skill and seamless ease.

Based on Susan Hill’s novel adapted for stage by Stephen Mallatratt, The Woman in Black relies on the audience's imagination and skilled theatre technique to bring this haunting tale to life.

Clever lighting (Kevin Sleep), a dramatic projection, eerie sound landscape and effects (Rod Mead / Sebastian Frost), set the scene.

Arthur Kipps (Waters) is an elderly lawyer haunted by a ghostly curse from his past. Distressed but needing to share his story in the hope of ending the horror, he engages ‘The Actor’ (MacPherson) to help tell his story.

In the opening setup, MacPherson tells Waters, as he

monosyllabically recites his tale from a voluminous tome, that he is no actor.

He asserts that he should narrate the story and will bring depth and nuance, ensuring it doesn't bore the audience.

Instead, Waters takes on the many characters ‘Kipps’ (now MacPherson) encounters as a young solicitor sent by his boss to oversee the funeral arrangements of the mysterious and reclusive Mrs Dablow.

As they delve into Kipps’ unnerving experiences at the remote Eel Marsh House, the play-within-aplay unfolds with chilling intensity when The Actor himself encounters The Woman in Black.

While a little slow in the setup, the final impact, the superb performances and stagecraft make this riveting theatre.

Local Briefs Freeway crash

■ A female motorcycle rider sustained lifethreatening injuries after a collision in Mulgrave last Wednesday (June 19).

Investigators were told a collision occurred between three vehicles and the rider who was travelling inbound on the Monash Freeway about 6.15am.

The female rider was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

All drivers of the vehicles stopped at the scene.

The driver of the Nissan hatchback sustained minor injuries and was conveyed to hospital for treatment.

The driver of the Nissan Patrol, a 34-yearold Pakenham man, was assisting police with their enquiries.

Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives were on scene and investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.

The Monash Freeway was closed inbound from Wellington Rd.

Women’s health

■ Narre Warren South MLA Gary Maas held a women’s pain forum that was facilitated by Kit McMahon from Women’s Health in the South East.

“A big shout-out to Zoe Francis from the organisation as well. We were joined by the Minister for Health as well as my colleagues the member for Cranbourne and the member for Narre Warren North.

“Women’s health and women’s pain are really big issues in our community, and it was terrific for all of those women who came and shared their stories and experiences,” Mr Maas said.

Housing targets

■ Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Simon Brooks has commented on the State Government’s housing targets (see Page 3).

“The Victorian Government’s draft target of 31,000 new homes by 2051 for the Mornington Peninsula is consistent with what the Shire is already planning for under the Housing & Settlement Strategy and planning scheme amendment C219morn (1200 new homes per year),” Cr Brooks said.

“Providing available land for housing, is however, just one piece of the housing puzzle.

Available land does not necessarily translate to houses being built, this is dependent on market forces, well outside planning.

“For these housing targets to translate into successful communities, local councils’ need funding to deliver the essential local infrastructure to support these new residents.

“Simple things like money to deliver footpaths to allow people to walk from their homes to shops and services in their local activity centre, money to upgrade and renew old sporting facilities, community halls, libraries, etc to cater for the increased population.

“The current mechanism for collecting development contributions in infill areas like the Peninsula is not fit for purpose.

“Along with funding for essential local infrastructure, significant upgrades to public transport is required.

“While the Peninsula is being expected to cater for an addition 31,000 new homes, the nearest electrified train station is in Frankston (40km from the Rosebud Major Activity Centre) and 82 per cent of the Peninsula is not serviced by public transport.

“Without significant upgrades to public transport, these housing targets will only entrench the reliance on the private car on the Peninsula.

“Additionally, existing roads are reaching capacity. For example, Mornington -Tyabb Rd (a state arterial road) will soon be reaching capacity and require duplication and yet there is no State funding to deliver this much needed upgrade.

“Council also calls on the State Government to ensure that a percentage of these additional homes are social housing to cater for the Shire’s most vulnerable residents.

“While Council’s current planning for housing is consistent with the State Government’s draft housing targets over the next 15- 20 years, in the longer term, additional land will be required.”

Starting solo on the second line, Ruff Nut possied four back in the running line going three wide in the last lap to join the leader Lambro Mach first up for Mount Gambier’s David Phillips and Glen Craven on the home turn which kicked.

Raced by mother Katrina, Argyle Rocks first up since March was given a charmed trip one/ one from the extreme draw with Patnwill leading from gate three. zWhen Johnny Six Kids (gate five) which had moved to race parked strode past the pacemaker on the final bend, Argyle Rocks immediately joined him on turning and was too tough over the concluding stages, greeting the judge by 3.6 metres. Mac Flick (three pegs – one/two home turn) ran home nicely for third 1.1 metres away.

■ Great Western’s Peter Manning snared the quinella in the 1650 metre Rothacker Stockfeeds 2Y0 Trotters Mobile when Aldebaran EagleGarston Girl gelding Mystery Fred driven by daughter Kerryn defeated Nipotina (James Herbertson) by a head in a rate of 2-01.9.

Despite doing all of the work from gate three outside the first start leader Iberian (gate four), Mystery Fred outstayed his rivals to prevail narrowly. With Nipotia (one/one) joining him on the

Trained and driven by Romsey’s Chris Svanosio, Pablo Rocks backed from $5 in the morning to run a $2.50 favourite raced roughly at the start from the pole needing to be balanced and settled three back along the markers as Rimu Valley led from gate four.

Coming away from the inside after travelling a short distance to face the breeze, Pablo Rocks raced uncovered for the rest of the journey. Appearing to be struggling to get on terms with the pacemaker approaching the final bend, Pablo Rocks rallied in the shadows of the post to record a strong victory by a half neck, with Yapper (three pegs – one/one home turn) third 2.6 metres away. The rate 1-59.9.

Ivana Bytheseaside held third 4.7 metres away.

Raced by trotting fanatic Terry Cahill, En Seventeen making his second race appearance and starting from the extreme draw settled at the tail of the field as Sweet Maori Miss led from gate three. Making gradual ground in the last lap to be one/one approaching the home turn but with a wall of horses ahead of him spread across the track, En Seventeen was pushed through a narrow gap in the shadows of the post and switching to the sprint lane, sprouted wings to prevail by a half head from the pacemaker, with the favourite Efficiently first up since last October for Kerryn Manning third a head away in another nail biting finish after moving from four back to be outsider the leader at the bell. The mile rate 2-04.6.

Shepp. events

Given a beaut trip from inside the second line trailing the poleline leader Twilight Beach, Watch It Happen used the sprint lane in the straight to record an easy 1.7 metre victory from Be A Good Scout (three pegs) which followed him throughout also using the sprint lane, with Aliza Hill (one/three) running on late for third a head away. The mile rate 2-01.8.

Tex Goes Bang (three pegs from gate two) was third two metres away. * There has to be something wrong with the handicapping system when horses such as the winner can race against lesser performed horses all off the same mark.

■ Terry brought up a race to race double by taking the 2190 metre JDC Contractors Pace with 7Y0 Fly Like An Eagle-Ultimate Dollar gelding Eagles And Indians with Liam Older in the sulky. Taken back to the tail from gate five, Eagles And Indians was all over the place in the last lap from the marker line to trail three wide at the bell then three pegs prior to the home turn when again with a three wide trail before pulling four wide in the home straight.

SMART GALLOPERS IN TATTS TIARA

■ Another of Australia’s popular races is the Tatts Tiara, to be run at the end of this month, which has attracted some smart gallopers.

Bookmakers put up the smart mare, Magic Time, to go around as top pick, Back on April 20 at Randwick on a heavy track, in the All Aged Stakes, she blitzed them in the run home, for leading trainer Graeme Begg.

She joined in at the 200 metres, and gave nothing else a chance, and if it is wet here, get on.

Magic Time finished well back in the Stradbroke, conditions didn’t suit, she likes it wet. Worth another chance.

On the next line is another smart galloper in Opal Ridge, who scored in brilliant fashion at Scone back on May 18.

Over the short sprint trip of 1100 metres, she blitzed them in the run home bolting in.

Going on five, she has always been among the top echelon, and will be right in this.

Next, we have one of Australia’s best sprinters in Benedatta, prepared by Jason Warren at Mornington.

She too contested the Stradbroke, but appeared to have every chance and finished back in eigth spot.

She is noted for her runs up the straight at Flemington, but this time it was around a corner in the Goodwood Handicap at Morphettville back on May 11 in a brilliant run.

It was yet another triumph for leading iady rider, Jamie Kah, on her home soil. She is going to be right in this.

One that will be right in this also is the good New Zealand mare, La Crique; she has good form, and is all class, having won in good style in the Magic Millions National Classic at Eagle Farm.

Her form in New Zealand is first-class, prepared by Simon and Katrina Cassin. You have got to follow her, she is the one to beat.

Another that has form is the Victorian trained mare, Coeur Volant, prepared by top trainer, Mike Moroney, who has her racing well, and she finished a good fourth in the last race on Derby Day at Eagle Farm.

Since then finished sixth in the Dane Ripper Stakes at Eagle Farm on June 15. She has ability, stick with her.

Leading Victorian trainers, Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, have another with talent, Roll on High, who won the Fred Best Classic in fine style.

It finished back in ninth spot in the Stradbroke at big odds. her form of late is a bit ordinary.

Observer Racing From her 15 starts, Coco Jamboo has now won five, four of those overseas, now Hawkesbury.

She showed plenty of heart in winning at Hawkesbury and will improve. ● James Cumming. Racing Photos.

Ted Ryan

● Gai Waterhouse.Racing Photos.

One of the top team with leading trainer Ciaron Maher, Semana, ran a good race in finishing just behind a couple of smart ones, Zougotcha and Atishu, running third in the Queen of the Turf over 1600 metres at Eagle Farm back on April 13.

She later ran back in ninth spot in the Stradbroke where she was outclassed.

The Bjorn Baker prepared Stefi Magnetic stuck on for a reasonable third to Roll on High, and can improve.

She was a good third in the Fred Best Classic and then went on to win the Stradbroke; has come right into Calculations with the win in the classic.

The locally trained Queenslander, Chinny Boom, atoned for her run last start winning well over Bezique and Bubble Rock, but I feel others will be too strong; later finished ninth in the Dane Ripper, would need to improve.

Then we have the Moody-Coleman trained mare, Chain of Lightning,who boasts a win over her stablemate one of the best, in I Wish I Win. She has been sold,but will race on, and then to stud when right.

The Ciaron Maher trained mare, Ruthless Dame, has ability, but not racing well at present.

She is a classic winner, and if she can get right, she would be in this, but I am giving her a miss.

Another with talent is the Mitchell Freedman trained, Skybird, who won well at Morphettville, back on April 27. She is consistent and could run well here.

I thought the last of our chances was the Snowden team filly, Revolutionary Miss, who hardly runs a bad run.

She has won some good races and has a bit of class about her.

Last, but not least is the Snowden mare who won the Hawkesbury Crown on May 4, coming from a fair way back.

She was having her first run in Australia after racing overseas
