No public questioning of shire officers

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have rejected a call that would have allowed officers to be questioned in public about the contents and possible consequences of their reports.

The bid by Cr David Gill to clear the way for the public questioning of officers was defeated last week on the casting vote of the mayor, Cr Steve Holland.

With one councillor absent, the vote was tied five all and Holland, in line with accepted procedure, used his extra vote as meeting chairperson to retain the status quo, which prevents the officers being questioned at public council meetings.

In the lead up to the vote at the 5 September council meeting, Gill said officers had to accept that “embarrassing questions come with the territory”.

“The elephant in the room is the embarrassing questions. A lot of people in this room, and they’re not necessar-

ily around this part of the table (pointing to councillors), see questions as embarrassing,” Gill said.

“If they see it that way, then they shouldn’t be. That is unacceptable, that is not transparency.

“Some councillors in this room never supported question time, the questioning of officers. So, it will be interesting to see how they vote.

“My view is simply [that] we believe in transparency and accountability.

“Officers’ reports affect the lives

of the people in our community, and they should be held accountable. They should be able to answer questions in public from the representatives of the public of our community, which is us.

“Until this term of council there was never an occasion where an officer didn’t present a report and questions were allowed to be asked. Never. It was part of the way we operated.

“We tried to be accountable, we tried to be transparent. Something has been lost.”

Cr Debra Mar said if some ques-

tions had not previously been aired in public councillors “may even sound as if we’re talking in tongues”.

Holland said councillors had several ways of asking officers about their reports away from public meetings.

He said councillors were able to ask questions of officers “at absolutely any time, and that is the privilege of being a councillor”.

Questions could be asked on behalf of a resident at any time through an online portal “and get a response from the relevant officer”. Continued Page 8

Dogs blamed for joey’s death

LOCAL laws officers have started patrols at Shoreham Foreshore one week after the death a wallaby joey at Shoreham foreshore whose mother was apparently chased by dogs on Sunday 3 September.

The death prompted an outcry from residents and the Shoreham Foreshore Reserve Committee, which is calling for greater awareness of the risk unleashed dogs pose to wildlife.

The dead joey was found in the foreshore reserve on the Monday morning, following an incident on Sunday night in which it is believed barking dogs chased the mother and caused it to eject or lose her joey.

Management committee chair Toby Shnookal said committee members had just weeks earlier celebrated the presence of the joey and its mother in the reserve.

Although the exact circumstances of the death were unknown, dogs were heard barking in the reserve and the foreshore reserve manager found the joey the next morning.

It was not the first time wildlife had been attacked by dogs at the foreshore, despite signs stating dogs were not allowed in the nature reserve and must be on a leash during restricted hours in other areas.

Last year a wallaby drowned at Shoreham after being chased into the water by an unleashed dog whose owner allegedly watched from the shore but did not intervene.

“It appears likely the dogs in the

reserve were off lead on Sunday, but this is not known. However, on the evidence, this appears to be the likely scenario,” Shnookal said.

“Further, there have been observed dog attacks on wallabies in the reserve in the past 12 months.

“This is a plainly a very sad event. The committee is committed to restoring the native bush including flora and fauna within the 170 hectares of the reserve.”

A report of the incident on Facebook prompted an outpouring of grief and calls for more to be done to raise awareness of the risk dogs pose to wildlife.

Shnookal said people needed to be aware that the presence of dogs in the reserve could impact wildlife.

“We want people to understand that there is a good reason dogs are banned from the reserve. It’s unsafe for wildlife but can also cause significant changes in wildlife behaviour,” he said.

“We want our wildlife to stay here so dogs have to stay out.”

The ban on dogs also protected endangered migratory birds that nested along the beaches.

The reserve committee is legislated to be able to control what is allowed in the reserve, and anyone not complying with prohibitions or regulations can be prosecuted and ejected.

All management committees from Merricks to Shoreham have made similar regulations.

Officers from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council can also issue on-the-spot infringement notices for breaches and seize unaccompanied dogs.

Shnookal said several years ago a member of the public who threated violence and disobeyed directions of an authorised officer to remove a dog from the beach was charged by the police with assault and banned from the reserve.

Kangaroo advocate Craig Thomson of SKOMP said the discovery of the dead joey was “horrible news”.

He has urged the reserve committee to make a report to the conservation regulator, who may choose to investigate the incident with the intention of prosecuting any offender found to have been involved.

The Shoreham foreshore is Crown Land controlled by the state government but managed by the committee.

The committee recently signed a memorandum of understanding that allows council officers to enforce its controls.

The mayor Cr Steve Holland said the effective management of dogs in public spaces and the promotion of responsible dog ownership was important to protect wildlife, the environment, community amenity and safety.

Stray cat’s extra life

VETS for Compassion, a not-forprofit organisation of vets and assistants, spent more than a week trying catch a skinny and wheezy ginger cat hanging around a factory at Hastings.

After many attempts, the crew was finally able to capture the scared and hungry cat, which was treated by the vets and is now in care with Forever Friends Animal Rescue until it is ready for adoption.

The animal, which was suffering from a respiratory illness, had been hiding under machinery, coming out from time to time at workers – almost asking for help.

Vets for Compassion is a registered charity that has skilled volunteers working on the ground to improve animal welfare for all species.

The team provides emergency response for all animals in Victoria and New South Wales during natural disasters including bushfires, floods and disease outbreak.

The group is also working with Mornington Peninsula volunteers to plan the safe release of the trapped kangaroos at Cape Schanck.

Brewery site for ‘land banking’

THE St Andrews Beach Brewery is on the market, with agents calling it a “significant coastal land-banking” opportunity and say they expect interest from throughout Australia.

The former horse training centre once owned by the Freeman brothers is on 37.2 hectares and includes a wholesale business as well as restaurant and bar.

The property is being offered for

sale and expressions of interest are being sought by J L L Hotels and Hospitality’s Will Connolly, Peter Harper and Lachlan Persley.

Formerly known as Markdel, the Fingal property was redefined in 2017 to create a hospitality venue and onsite brewery.

It features a beer garden and private dining areas converted from stables that once housed some of Australia’s

horse racing legends, plus additional function areas.

It has a 25-hectolitre brewery along with on-site manufacturing including canning and storage, and the former racetrack is now a 6000-tree apple orchard for producing cider.

Connolly said he expected interest in the property from individuals and private syndicates to national hospitality operators and beverage brands.

Storm havoc and emergency calls for help

A SPRING cold front caused havoc across the Mornington Peninsula overnight Thursday (8 September) and into Friday (9 September), bringing rain and strong winds, as well as general misery for football fans ahead of the AFL finals.

Gale force winds downed trees and dislodged anything not tied down as blasts swept across the southeast and the peninsula over Friday and Saturday.

On Thursday, the Bureau of Meteorology issued wind warnings for Western Port and Port Phillip, but for some boat owners they came too late.

The extreme weather also saw emergency service volunteers, and CFA and SES teams clearing trees from roads, securing roofs, and helping property owners with structures made unsafe by the winds.

On the peninsula and southeast over the six hours to 1pm on Friday the SES received more than 100 calls for assistance.

Some of the worst hit areas included Sorrento, Mount Eliza, Mount Martha and Frankston.

The west to south-westerly winds averaged 50 to 60 kph, with damaging wind gusts of around 90 to 110 kph. Conditions eased in the afternoon and over the weekend.

Vocal approach to helping the homeless

singers accompanied by a small orchestra to perform selected movements of Street Requiem, composed by Kathleen McGuire, Andy Payne and Jonathon Welch.

A FESTIVAL in October at Main Ridge will feature 100 singers performing to raise money for support programs for homelessness on the Mornington Peninsula.

According to Mornington Peninsula Shire 35 per cent of peninsula residents are in rental stress, while 12 per cent of those experiencing homelessness are sleeping rough in cars or on the foreshore.

Low income residents are being forced off the peninsula and away from their support networks and family as fewer than one in three peninsula rental properties are affordable, according to Southern Peninsula Community Support CEO Jeremy Maxwell.

Maxwell said housing and homeless support programs delivered by Western Port, Southern Peninsula, and Mornington community support centres were a lifeline for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness, but they were stretched beyond capacity.

“There are no government-funded agencies on the peninsula providing preventative case managed housing support to those at high risk of becoming homeless and facing impending homelessness,” he said.

“And there are nearly 4000 residents on the public housing waiting list.”

To contribute to the community support teams, Flinders Fringe Festival has teamed up with Uncommon Folk to present Street Requiem on the Ridge.

The musical and multimedia event will see

A world-renowned composer and conductor, McGuire will conduct the performance that will also include Makepisi, a South African a cappella group, and projected images by documentary photographer Noa Smith Fletcher.

“Ultimately, the work is intended to be a universal plea to recognise those who have suffered, to acknowledge those who still suffer, and to inspire people and society into action - as individuals and as a community - to respect and protect the dignity of all humans regardless of their situation, background or beliefs,” McGuire said.

The performance will be held in an equestrian arena at Uncommon Folk Farm. Uncommon Folk says it is committed to driving positive environmental and social change and is providing the venue and covering all costs so that 100 per cent of money raised through donations and ticket sales goes to the three community support centres.

Nina Sharpe, head of impact at Uncommon Folk, said Street Requiem would tell “untold stories to develop the community’s awareness of the need to make changes to create a safe and just society for all”.

“There’s a huge opportunity for the peninsula to be an example of how we can change the system by using the power of many.”

The event is supported by the Mornington Peninsula Foundation and the shire.

Street Requiem on the Ridge will be held 5pm to 7pm on Saturday 21 October at Uncommon Folk Farm, 328 Main Creek Road, Main Ridge.

‘Strategic plan’ needed for Western Port

THE Western Port Biosphere Reserve has retained its UNESCO status for the next decade and rebranded itself with a more contemporary logo.

The two moves coincide with the state government’s “investment in marine ecosystems and blue carbon” through the foundation and the Bunurong Aboriginal Land Council.

The UNESCO status renewal confirms the reserve as being south-eastern Australia’s only member among the 748-members from 134 countries in the world biosphere reserve network.

The foundation’s CEO, Mel Barker, said UNESCO’s decision. Followed a “rigorous review” which also marked the Western Port Biosphere Reserve entering its third decade.

“This is fantastic recognition of the collaboration of our many partners and communities to ensure the future of the habitats, biodiversity and communities that make this one of Australia’s most attractive places to live, work and play,” she said.

Barker said a major focus for UNESCO was the development and implementation of management plans for its network of biosphere reserves and the international body had noted some future challenges for Western Port.

"Western Port is a critical economic and environmental asset for Victoria and it needs an overarching strategic plan to provide a roadmap for its effective management,” Barker said.

“A primary goal for us is to advocate for and partner with government and other stakeholders to develop a strategic framework for Western Port.

“With its internationally acclaimed

WESTERN Port Biosphere Foundation’s new “distinctive and contemporary” logo “wraps representations of flora and fauna with habitat and community … a message that humans live within and are part of nature”. The logo is designed to be more recognisable in digital communications channels.

Ramsar wetlands, annual population of thousands of migratory birds, tracts of natural woodlands and waterways and its unique marine environment Western Port needs to be given equal recognition to neighbouring Port Phillip, which at least has a management plan.

“A strategic plan will be essential to effectively dealing with multiple challenges and pressures within the reserve brought about by the planned transition to renewable energy and hydrogen production, the potential

State says terminal plan to go ahead

THE state government has announced that a terminal to assemble offshore wind turbines will be built at Hastings while at the same time saying there will be “a thorough environment effects statement (EES) process” before the project progresses.

In a statement issued on Sunday (10 September) the government says the terminal will be built at the Old Tyabb Reclamation Area and be equipped “for the receival, assembly and installation of offshore wind foundations, towers and turbines as a multi-user facility, with new berths, heavy duty pavements and major supporting infrastructure”.

(EES) process allowing the community to make submissions before the project progresses.”

The statement says $27 million included in the 2023/24 state budget “will help create thousands of jobs, generate billions of dollars in investment and create renewable, reliable power for all Victorians from offshore wind farms”.

“This project will give industry further confidence to kick-start renewable energy projects and deliver thousands of ongoing job opportunities for Victorians in our renewable energy future,” Horne said.

impacts of mining, agricultural and residential development and societal impacts such as waste management and recreational activities.” Barker said a strategic plan would be a framework for “more informed and better decision making”. The foundation would continue to provide “evidence-based analysis, advocacy and project initiatives for the protection and management of natural ecosystems in sympathy with the health and aspirations of the communities within it”.

Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and Ports and Freight Minister Melissa Horne have visited the Port of Hastings “for a first look at the area where the terminal will be built”.

“The Port of Hastings has been selected as the most suitable port to assemble offshore wind infrastructure – with the benefits of large areas of zoned land it is close to existing port precincts, has deep water channels and is close to the offshore wind projects off the coast of Gippsland,” the statement containing quotes from the two ministers states.

“The terminal will undergo a thorough environment effects statement

“Offshore wind is a key pillar of Victoria’s renewable energy future. It will create thousands of jobs, generate billions in investment and provide more reliable power for all Victorians.” D’Ambrosio said.

The statement does not mention concerns already raised about the environmental effects dredging or onshore development might have on Western Port or further afield (“Terminal delays could hit power targets” The News 22/8/23).

Jeff Weir, executive director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Centre, said questions needing to be addressed included the effects of dredging (including to adjacent coastlines”); effects on wildlife (including “exotic wildlife species”); treatment for stormwater runoff; and how many ships would be using the terminal.

Questions ruled out

Continued from Page 1

“Council meetings are not an opportunity for individual councillors to save up a bank of questions while we all sit here and members of the public sit here wanting to get on with the business of what’s on the agenda while we have 20 minutes of questions per agenda item,” Holland said.

As mayor he allowed questions during public meetings about the quarterly report and town planning matters.

Gill said the “portal system … limits and controls questions”.

“You never know when you’re going to get an answer. It is not a real substitute for transparency.”

Cr Despi O’Connor said councillors sometimes did not question officers in the “correct way, [questions] are utilised for platforming or debate, and so it skews what a question looks like, sounds like”.

Cr Sarah Race said she had seen junior officers “uncomfortable with line of questioning, and I think that was quite difficult to watch when they were just trying to present a report to us”.

Cr Simon Brooks said Gill’s motion to allow officers to be questioned publicly “aligned well” with recommendations in a report into corruption at the City of Casey by the Independent Broad-Based AntiCorruption Commission (“‘Transparency’ call for council” The News 5/9/23).

Brooks said the IBAC recommendation urged councils to ensure that “pre-meetings do not supplant council meetings and encourages open government”.

Councillors who voted to allow the questioning of officers at public meeting were Gill, Brooks, Lisa Dixon, Antonella Celi and Kate Roper. Against: Holland, O’Connor, Race, Mar and Anthony Marsh. Cr Susan Bissinger was absent.

‘Democratic right’ to question shire officers

A

and dysfunctional Mornington

Peninsula Shire Council has voted down a motion by Cr David Gill to restore the right of councillors to transparently question council officers during public council meetings.

Gill was right to bring this issue to the attention of council and the community. In a democratic, functional and responsible council, his motion ought to have succeeded.

The democratic right of councillors to question council officers and senior management in council meetings is an essential council and transparent process. It assists in making a CEO, shire officers and management accountable to council and the community for the “day to day operations” of the shire (“‘Transparency’ call for council” The News 5/9/23).

During the term of this council from 2020, this right has been systematically diminished by resolutions made by the majority of councillors acting on advice from senior management, directions made by council chairs and senior management practices.

Councillor questions are one device to make management accountable. But what of senior management practices?

As reported in The News, in the wake of the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission’s launch of Operation Sandon, council ordered a review by management of development planning decisions made by the shire over the last two decades (“Review results delivered behind closed doors” 5/9/23)..

The subsequent report ought to have been brought back to council for consideration, questioning, debate and, if necessary, council could resolve on further action by management.

However, this did not occur - senior management brought the review report to a briefing of councillors.

This is a management device characteristic of a “behind closed doors” management mentality that matters first considered by council are then brought back by management to a “behind closed doors” briefing of councillors.

At councillor briefings, councillors are unable to pass resolutions, or direct management, to action a matter further. This breeds a culture of lack of transparency and accountability so inimical to democratic local government.

What occurred in this council in response to the IBAC launch of Operation Sandon, highlights to the community the risk that council and management-biased processes permitted by a majority of this council, places council at high risk of falling under the control of council senior management – a basic and well recognised corporate risk.

Sign go ahead may lead to tougher approach

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is looking to strengthen planning controls around advertising signage following residents and councillors’ concerns about large, brightly lit neon signs in Mornington. A report presented to council on 8 September called for “strategic work” to tighten its planning policy in a bid to provide “better guidance” on major promotion signs.

Cr Anthony Marsh pushed for the policy review after council lost a fight at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to ban a large, electronic sign in Nepean Highway, Mornington, with the tribunal finding that the sign adhered to all current policies.

An application for a second electronic billboard-style sign in Nepean Highway several doors up from the one approved by VCAT is now before council, prompting concerns that neon signs will change the town’s character.

Council adopted a review of its planning scheme in 2018, however recommendations for “better guidance” around major promotion signs, light pollution, landscape and character impacts have not yet been acted on due to “prioritised” policy changes.

However, it is unlikely that any changes will come soon, with a council officer’s report noting that the strategic planning team was already “fully committed” delivering existing projects and amendments for the 2023/24 financial year, and that advertising signs should be considered in the annual budget approval process.

It is expected that any “strategic work” will apply to all 40 peninsula towns as well as green wedge and other rural areas, and could cost $100,000 to $300,000, while any amendment is expected to cost $50,000 to $150,000.

CFA issues alert for volunteers

IN a post-COVID world where many people are searching for meaning and purpose, one organisation is reaching out to offer a way to fill the void.

The volunteer-based CFA is always seeking new volunteers to help it continue its mission of helping the community, responding to emergencies and supporting other services in times of community need.

Mornington Fire Brigade is currently on a recruitment drive after its volunteer numbers have since 2016 dropped from around 80 to 30.

Captain Michael Licciardo said the sense of satisfaction volunteers got from helping the community and being involved in something bigger than themselves was a driving force for many, while the highly valued skills and training was also a factor.

“Our volunteers receive nationally recognised training and high-value skills that are transferable to a range of situations,” he said.

“Out-of-pocket expenses are covered by the CFA without volunteers having to pay for it.”

Licciardo said there was training available for fire fighters, as well as support roles, where people worked behind the scenes or in a range of administration or back-up roles.

Volunteers had the choice of how far they could go with training and how many qualifications they completed and there was no expectation that people could not hold down a regular daytime job while still being

volunteer.

“We have men and women, some who work, some who don’t, there is so much flexibility in being a member – I call the CFA a family and the people I work with are my team,” he said.

With a dry summer expected and the past winter creating heavy undergrowth around the state, there was an almost unprecedented need to build volunteer numbers.

Licciardo has often found himself in confronting situations as a frontline worker but said the safety of volunteers was always paramount in anything the CFA did, and the aim was to

keep people and property safe.

During the 2019/20 fires Licciardo was part of a team that went to East Gippsland and became trapped in the small town of Tambo Crossing.

“We looked after the township for 24 hours, ensuring that the town was not threatened and people were protected,” he said.

As a result of working with other teams across the state, and sometimes further afield, Licciardo said members had a network of contacts and friends from other volunteer services and state government bodies such as Forest Fire Management Victoria.

Fatal at Bittern

POLICE are calling for witnesses after a pedestrian died after being hit by a car on Frankston-Flinders Road, Bittern at about 8.20 on Friday night (8 September).

Emergency crews were quickly on scene, but the male pedestrian could not be revived.

The deceased is yet to be formally identified.

The female driver of the car stopped at the scene and is assisting police with inquiries.

The circumstances surrounding the collision are yet to be established and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at crimestoppersvic. com.au

Gas leak controlled

FATHER’S Day had a special meaning for one lucky householder in the Bittern area.

“It’s a very important part of what we do, having those connections, because we are experiencing similar things, sharing knowledge and friendship, and learning from each other,” he said. “When you are part of the CFA, you know are part of something important.”

The fire brigade sprang to action after a car was reported to be leaking gas, which the owner noticed after refuelling and called 000.

Leaking gas when mixed with air can be explosive.

A message to radio dispatch and Somers Fire Brigade was on the way with its specialist gas support unit. The gas unit can safely burn (flaring off) the remaining gas in a leaking tank, removing the hazard.

With the support of Bittern and Crib Point brigades, lines were established to protect the gas unit during the flare off and to protect the car. Crews remained on scene until all clear.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

THURSDAY MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE

7TWO, 8.30pm

Viewers of this charming historical mystery series will be well acquainted with its headstrong heroine Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips, pictured) – Victorian London’s first-ever female detective – and her ability to run rings around the local law enforcement. However, the PI is forced to sit most of this week’s episode out after being accused of a string of burglaries targeting the city mortuary. It falls to Eliza’s housekeeper Ivy (Cathy Belton, Philomena) to clear her name – by any means possible.

FRIDAY SOUTH AMERICA WITH SIMON REEVE

SBS, 7.30pm

British presenter Simon Reeve (pictured) rarely films without his scarf wrapped around his neck – he calls it his “comfort blanket”. Tonight, Reeve is in Brazil, beginning in the Amazon with the Waiapi people. This indigenous tribe has clung onto its traditional lifestyle, now threatened by logging and mining. As Reeve steps foot into some of the most remote places on Earth, a “comfort” scarf seems very fitting.

SUNDAY CON GIRL

SEVEN, 8.45pm

When a distressed 14-year-old is found on the streets of Dublin, police spend weeks searching for her family, before realising she isn’t a child at all. This four-part docudrama charts the life and crimes of Aussie conwoman Samantha Azzopardi, who weaved a web of deception all over the world. As illustrated by a raft of interviewees, Azzopardi’s motive was not financial, rather a misguided attempt to relive her childhood. But even as her lies crossed into the outlandish, there’s a level of sadness and sympathy for Azzopardi here.

MONDAY NEIGHBOURS

TEN, 4.30pm

It turns out everybody really does need good neighbours – as the iconic soap makes an unexpected but joyous return after an absence of only 14 months. Thanks to streaming giant Prime Video, who have committed to producing at least 400 new episodes, the residents of Ramsay Street are back, with a slew of changes. Firstly, there’s a new version of the theme song, ), and some new faces in the ’s Mischa

Woodburne and Ryan Moloney will be returning, and we’ll also be treated to guest appearances from some fan favourites.

Voice: Residents look to councillors for leadership

I attended the 5 September public meeting of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting with the expectation that councillors would debate whether they should support a Yes vote in the forthcoming referendum.

I was deeply shocked and disappointed that questions regarding the referendum were dismissed, with the CEO advising that council would not be taking a position on this matter.

Local councils play a pivotal role in representing and reflecting the sentiments of their community. The shire has previously shown its support for Indigenous rights and reconciliation in its Reconciliation Action Plan, so it is both disingenuous and inconsistent for council to abstain from taking a position on a crucial matter like the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

The Indigenous Voice to Parliament is a significant proposal that has potential to reshape how First Nations people interact with the Australian government, ensuring their perspectives and concerns are heard at a national level.

Local councillors are public figures and residents look to them for leadership. It is extraordinary that our elected officials are unwilling to show leadership and accountability by responding to the question: Do they support changing the constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice?

needed

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council appears to be having a bet each way. On the one it has shown its support to listening to First Nations people in its Reconciliation Action Plan; on the other hand, it refuses to show its support for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament that is designed to listen to First Nations people.

Residents need a clear statement from both council and councillors.

Do councillors support changing the constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice? Does council support employees and volunteers and those operating from council-owned facilities showing public support for a Yes vote through wearing badges, t-shirts or displaying signs?

Threat over Voice

As a non-Indigenous aged care advocate, I was shocked to receive a death threat after I publicly declared that I would be voting Yes in the referendum on my Aged Care Matters Facebook Group (6000 members).

I had simply used the analogy of older people who use aged care services wanting their voices to be heard by governments (federal, state and local councils).

Australian governments, including Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, have a long history of making policies that directly impact the lives of older people without any consultation with older people. Evidence shows that outcomes are improved when governments work in partnership with older people and families.

Likewise, evidence shows that outcomes are improved when governments work in partnership with Indigenous peoples.

An Indigenous Voice to Parliament is needed to end top-down government decision-making. It will enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to provide advice on policies and projects that impact their lives.

Enshrining an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the constitution provides a way to improve policy and the accountability of future governments. It will make future governments and parliaments accountable

to listening to the advice of Indigenous Australians.

The referendum on 14 October proposes an important change to our constitution that will improve the social, health and economic outcomes of Indigenous Australians. I will be voting Yes.

Soon after publicly disclosing my support for changing the constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice statement, I received this message: “You should be ashamed. I wish you were dead.”

Informing voters

I am part of a team wanting to provide information forums on the Voice to Parliament referendum. While I am supporting the Yes campaign, I do believe that however people vote they should be doing it from an informed perspective.

We have written to a number of retirement villages on the Mornington Peninsula offering forums to allow people to have a clear explanation of the referendum question, its background and the implementation process and to ask questions. We have had villages saying no and others simply not responding.

The village managers are obviously happy for their residents to be denied access to factual information and to the opportunity to clarify any questions they have.

This is not democracy, this is censorship.

Legitimate questions

I have been following letters in The News about the Voice referendum with bemusement, given that it is not strictly a local issue.

The Yes case seems to be mostly about “the vibe” and saying that anyone who votes No is automatically racist. Hardly compelling.

While some of the No case is very obviously dog whistling, there are legitimate questions and concerns that the Yes campaign has failed to address.

There are high-profile progressive activists - both Indigenous and non-Indigenous - who have raised their heads above the parapet to ask these questions, with little reply.

After spending two weeks in central Australia and learning more about Indigenous history and the impact of European settlement, I have concluded that voting No will cause more harm than voting Yes.

But my Yes vote is certainly not a ringing endorsement of the validity of the Yes argument.

One of the things that impressed me during my time in central Australia was how much of the tourism was wrapped up in Indigenous culture and history.

Also, how much the non-Indigenous locals knew about Indigenous culture - it’s very much side by side in a manner reminiscent of how Maori culture is up front and centre in New Zealand.

Here on the Mornington Peninsula we should be chasing eco-tourism opportunities and the like, rather than continue to be Airbnb party central.

To augment an eco-tourism approach, Mornington Peninsula Shire should work to highlight and incorporate the region’s Indigenous history and culture as a tourist and educational drawcard.

Happy by-products would be locals learning more about local Indigenous history and the two cultures becoming more integrated.

A future in which modern Australia openly acknowledges and embraces its Indigenous roots is what the referendum is really about.

Making a difference

The Salvation Army is one of the biggest providers of social services in Australia. We are a pragmatic movement, not really into empty gestures or performative virtue signalling. I don’t think in our 140-year history in Australia that we have ever been called “elites”.

But we do support the Voice.

We support the Voice, simply, because we believe it will make a difference.

For 140 years, the Salvos have rolled up their sleeves and helped where we can. We started small by assisting discharged prisoners at the prison gates in Melbourne and now we provide over 2000 services across every state and territory in Australia. We support people experiencing homelessness, family and domestic violence, financial hardship, unemployment, substance use disorders, social isolation and loneliness, and help them recover from natural disasters.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are over-represented in almost every service we deliver – and that’s why we support a Voice.

There is no escaping the fact that what we are doing right now, as a nation, is not working.

The Salvos will always do what we can on the ground, but the issues we see are deeper; they are structural and systemic. We believe the only way to practically address the hardship experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is to change how the government makes and carries out policy. We believe the best way to do that is to actually listen to the people affected – to give them a voice.

Not everyone agrees with us on this and that’s okay. We just ask that people respectfully consider, before they decide on 14 October: “Will the Voice make a difference for people who really need help?”

We think the answer is a resounding yes.

Accepted practice

I am confident that the people who signed the Uluru statement knew what they were doing, and to say otherwise would belittle them. If there had been a problem, it would have been settled long ago.

Look at business letters drafted by the boss or any group, printed and returned for signatures. It is a long-accepted method of ensuring probity. This, indeed, is as it should be.

There can never be a comparison of apartheid between South Africa and Australia. In South African situation, the white people and the white government enacted apartheid from a position of absolute power. That’s where the comparison ends.

The three per cent Indigenous population imposing apartheid on the rest of the 97 per cent of the population is imaginary.

We have everything to gain and nothing to lose if we listen from a position of compromise and respect. What began as an opportunity for reconciliation and acceptance into the referendum has become a battlefield of innuendoes, lies and blatant racism.

Free speech, but …

How disappointing that a letter from an activist in West Perth about the Indigenous Voice to Parliament was published in our local Mornington Peninsula paper (“Sliding doors” Letters 5/9/23).

We all know this is a very sensitive issue.

Occasionally, the current debate is taking our country into some unhealthy dialogue. I agree we all have a right to free speech and do not object to someone presenting their arguments for or against a Yes or No vote. But surely this looks like someone campaigning from Western Australia. Maybe The News could publish local views.

environment

It is always heartening to read about the many local groups working on sustainability initiatives, such as the Rye Repair Cafe which is helping community members to repair and reuse items, significantly reducing waste

(“Shire money a quick fix for repair cafe” The News 5/9/23).

It is a pity the Albanese government isn’t as proactive in reducing our impact on the environment. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s recent new coal mine approvals go against all scientific advice about environmental and climate protection.

Under Labor, Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions also rose by 0.9 per cent last year. Disappointing.

Recognising how broken our Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act is, Plibersek promised environmental law reform over a year ago. Why are we still waiting?

Prioritising sustainability and environmental protection, as so many community groups do, is vital for our collective future.

Regional Australia is being asked to make the greatest contribution towards Australia’s decarbonisation (getting off fossil fuels).

It’s vital that proper consultation is undertaken with local communities, so the economic benefits are shared fairly, and modifications of local landscapes and natural environments are minimised.

But there’s another aspect to fair sharing. According to the International Energy Agency, the top 10 per cent of emitters are responsible for almost half of global energyrelated CO2 emissions. And given that the carbon footprints of capital city dwellers, especially affluent ones, are typically greater than those in the regions, an environmental tax based on high household emissions should be considered.

In his response to the recent Intergenerational Report, Dr Ken Henry, who led federal Treasury for a decade, said that taxing consumption and carbon emissions could even permit lower personal income tax.

A tax on household emissions would encourage those who live in capital city McMansions and drive Toorak tractors (large 4WDs), to electrify their households, install rooftop solar with a battery, and switch to EVs. Australia’s emissions would fall, rather than rise as they are now. Big emitters would no longer get off scot free.

Money raised from the tax could also be used to support carbon sequestration and biodiversity restoration projects in regional areas managed by Landcare groups and local governments. It could also help low-income households to make their homes more energy efficient. It’s time we evened up the balance.

aware

During this year’s Dementia Action Week (18-24 September) we are encouraging people to learn more about the signs and symptoms of the condition and how to make their communities more accessible to people living with dementia.

There are estimated to be more than 400,000 Australians living with dementia and more than 1.5 million involved in their careand those numbers are set to rise.

As dementia diagnoses increase, it’s important to learn more about the signs and symptoms and how to make our communities more accessible to people living with dementia. That’s why this year’s theme for Dementia Action Week is Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future.

Many people can continue to live well with dementia, but it’s important they feel supported in their community.

Greater awareness helps to create discussion and break down stigma or barriers that could stop people from seeking help.

Increasing our understanding of dementia can make a big difference to the lives of people around us who are impacted.

There are things we can all do to make our communities more dementia friendly. To find out how you can make a difference, please visit dementia.org.au.

LOCAL ARTIST CELEBRATED AT MPRG’S ARCHIBALD PRIZE 2023

Carrum Downs artist Jaq Grantford has been named as the Archibald Prize 2023 ‘People’s Choice’ winner for her winning portrait of former Playschool presenter and beloved Australian personality Noni Hazlehurst.

This month, the highly anticipated Archibald Prize 2023 opens at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery – the only Victorian destination for this popular event. Thousands of art lovers and curious cultural adventurers will head to Mornington to see the 57 portraits hanging side-by-side, including Jaq’s now famous portrait and this year’s winning work of Montaigne by Julia Gutman.

Portraits have always intrigued the viewer: the eyeline, the position of the model, the story behind the sitter. For many, it’s the first time a visitor can be up close and personal with a public figure or cultural identity from this generation. A portrait is a reflection of the people of our time for future generations to experience and discuss.

For more than a century, art lovers have flocked to the annual Archibald Prize event to experience people and faces of our time and culture, and Jaq’s portrait of Noni Hazlehurst is no exception to the array of works by Australian artists in the 2023 touring exhibition.

This is not Jaq’s first award-winning portrait. In 2022, Grantford took the top spot at the Darling Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery of

Australia and in 2019 the Melbourne artist won the 2019 Kennedy Art Prize and Best in Show at the American Art Awards.

Jaq’s winning portraiture work can be seen in collections around the world including the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona,

as well as locally in the National Portrait Gallery and the NGV Collection. Grantford’s work is often the chosen favourite of gallery-goers and has won various ‘people’s choice’ awards including the Lester Prize and the Shirley Hannon Portrait Prize.

Archibald Prize fans can experience Grantford’s winning portrait up close and reserve a spot to hear the artist speak about her work, process and style in an intimate lunch event in conversation with MPRG curator Dunja Rmandić at the picturesque Montalto Winery in Red Hill on 27

October.

For a more informal event, gallerygoers can join Jaq on a tour of the Archibald Prize 2023 exhibition and enjoy local wine, cheese and conversation in the Gallery’s late night series, FRIDAY UNWINDS on 13 October.

The Gallery will be open late every Friday night until 9pm throughout the Archibald Prize 2023 exhibition. FRIDAY UNWINDS is an art lover’s exclusive Friday night pass to admire the exhibition after dark with local beers, wine, cheeses and live music.

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery have installed a pop up café with the good folk at Commonfolk, providing visitors with delicious food and beverage options during their Archibald Prize 2023 visit.

Tickets are selling fast for Australia’s most prestigious art event, the Archibald Prize 2023 which will be on display at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery from 15 September to 5 November.

Timed entry, flexible entry and open late tickets are available now. To book your spot and to view the array of curated programs visit mprg. mornpen.vic.gov.au

The Archibald Prize 2023 is Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art award and will be shown exclusively in Victoria at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. The Archibald Prize 2023 is an Art Gallery of New South Wales touring exhibition.

Olympic Marathon Test Race To Start From Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

THE shire secretary, Mr. John E. Jones yesterday received application from the secretary of the Amateur Sports Club, Melbourne, asking permission to use the Frankston park for the commencement of the Olympic Marathon test race on Saturday, 29th September.

The application was granted.

This race from Frankston to Melbourne will commence at 1 o’clock, and is really a test to select a representative for Australia at the Paris games next year.

The shire president, councillors and leading members of Frankston sports clubs will assist on the day, and as competitors will be present from all the States considerable public interest should be aroused. ***

CR. Alden always keeps a keen eye on the financial position of the council. At last Friday’s meeting he drew attention to the increasing debit of the electric light account, and was informed that the position would show improvement when amounts due for installation work and supply of current were paid up.

Cr. Alden contended that there should be no outstanding accounts, and it was resolved that defaulters be given seven days in which to pay, otherwise legal proceedings would be instituted. ***

MR. A. W. Mabbs, hon. secretary of the Flinders Naval Depot Soccer Club, who has been absent in Sydney for some time, returned to Crib Point last week.

Mr. Samuel Lazarus, who was killed

Trades & Services

in alighting from a tram in Burke road, Camberwell, on Thursday last, was a colonist of 71 years standing.

He was a teacher in the old denominational schools at Tullamarine, but later took up commercial pursuits.

He was a resident of Carlton for many years, and later of North Fitzroy.

At one time he was one of the best known figures in Melbourne as the driver of a high two wheeled smart dog cart.

He was a life-long adherent of the Church of England, and one of the directors of the clergy widow and orphans’ fund.

He leaves a son, Lieut.-Colonel J. S. Lazarus, of Frankston, and two daughters.

At the council meeting last Friday Cr. Gray moved that the sympathy of the council be extended to Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus in his bereavement.

The resolution was carried by councillors standing and observing silence for some moments. ***

Frankston Electric Light

Mr. D. J. Quartermain, manager, reported to the council as follows:

I beg to report for the month of August as follows:

I have completed 14 new installations in the Henley system for the month.

Total amount of installation work done for August, £120/18-; also connected 14 new consumers to the supply.

Amounts collected for the month of August:

Light, £263/12/6; installation, £205/ 10/2; total, £46912/8. Goods sold and installation done

for month of August: Henley system, £126/8/-; sale of goods, £77/8/8; sale of lamps, £11/13/8; sale of sundries, £1/15/6; total, £2205/10.

Total amount of installation work completed to end of August, 1923: Henley system, £2598/10/9; conduit jobs, £50/9/-; sale of goods, £426/17/9; sale of lamps; £82/ 18/6; sale of sundries, £60/18/6; total, £3219/4/6.

I have also armed poles and transferred wires from swan-neck pins to arms on poles along Playne, Thompson, and Wells streets.

To do this work we worked all day Sunday and Saturday, so as not to interrupt the supply. ***

TODAY Mr. Hansen, of the Education Department, communicated with Mr. John E. Jones, shire secretary, and informed him that sufficient money had been placed on the estimates to erect a High School at Frankston.

But there was a fly in the ointment.

Mr. Hanson informed Mr. Jones that personally he was “utterly opposed” to the school being built on three acres, as proposed, and he intended exerting his influence with the Minister to have the decision reversed.

Mr. Hanson added that he was leaving for Sydney almost immediately and expected to be absent for three weeks.

On his return he would try and induce the Minister to accompany him to Frankston to inspect the site.

“The Standard” sincerely hopes that Mr. Hansen will succeed in bringing the Minister to Frankston, although Sir Alexander Peacock is already fully aware of all the facts, not omitting the unreasonable attitude of a section of

the officers of his department.

It was only about a month ago that Sir Alex. informed a Frankston deputation that the officers of his department had reported that they considered that nothing less than eight acres should be made available at Frankston.

“This was my reply”, exclaimed Sir Alex, holding up a certain document before the deputation as he read: “I DO NOT AGREE.”

Evidently the Minister’s officers are not put down. Mr. Hansen, at all costs, seems to be full of fight, and it remains to be seen how his chief will meet the opposition.

Mr. Hansen evidently possesses a short memory. On the occasion of his visit to Frankston on 1st December, 1921, he informed the residents that the site in question was admirably suited to the purpose.

He added that the cricket ground would still be available to the general public, and instanced the case at Hamilton where similar provision was made.

It was at Mr. Hansen’s suggestion that the council immediately called a public meeting of the residents to make the land available.

At that meeting it was resolved to transfer two acres to the Department as suggested.

Later on the Department asked that the area be increased to three acres and from that time on one obstacle after the other was raised, until finally the Department demanded 8 acres.

According to Mr. Hansen they are still on the war-path. Fortunately for Frankston they find that Sir Alex. is the lion in the path. ***

FRANKSTON POLICE COURT

At the Frankston Police Court before Messrs. C. W. Grant (chairman), P. Wheeler and J. Brown, J.sP., three young men named Carr, Michael and Long were charged by Senior-Constable Culhane with offensive behaviour at Frankston on Sunday.

They were fined £1 each.

For being drunk and disorderly two men named Moule and Brown, were fined 10/- each.

The Frankston District Gas & Electric Light Company sought to recover £3/17/- from W. P. Mason for electric current.

Mr. A. Leslie Williams appeared for the plaintiff company and defendant conducted his own case.

W. Bean, manager at Frankston, gave the particulars of claim which related to houses known as “Henley” and “The Bowery.”

Defendant denied liability, as he was not the owner of the properties referred to.

The case was withdrawn.

***

ON Saturday afternoon next, at 3 p.m., H. Daly and T. Potter intend to carry out a trotting contest for a wager.

Seaford road is to become the battle course, and the distance is 16 miles.

Great local interest is being taken in the event, and as both ponies are exceptionally fast some excitement is promised.

Both contestants are very popular in Seaford and bookies are suffering a “freeze out.”

Bulldogs claim premiership glory

MPNFL

DIVISION ONE

FRANKSTON YCW will play

Dromana in the MPFNL Division One Grand Final this Sunday.

To book their Grand Final spot, Frankston YCW had to withstand a challenge from Mt Eliza at Rosebud’s Olympic Park.

Mt Eliza booted five goals in the opening term to get out to a 13-point lead at the first break. By half-time Frankston YCW managed to get ahead by two points.

Heading into the final quarter, the Stonecats led by just four points. They held their nerve, and went on to score

a hard-fought ten point win 16.9 (105) to 14.11 (95).

Joshua Patullo was dominant. He booted eight goals, and was his side’s best on the day.

Dromana and Frankston YCW will face off for the premiership at Kinetic Stadium in Frankston on Sunday, 17 September. The ball will be bounced at 2.30pm.

DIVISION TWO

MORNINGTON are 2023 MPFNL Division Two premiers.

The Bulldogs played Somerville at Frankston’s Kinetic Stadium last Saturday in the Grand Final. After a tight first term, Somerville took control in the second quarter. They went into the

half-time break ahead by 14 points. The Bulldogs bit back in the third quarter. They kicked themselves back into the game with a five-goals-to-one term.

Mornington held onto their lead in the final term, going on to claim the premiership with a tight nine-point win 7.10 (52) to 9.7 (61).

Bulldogs skipper Nathan Heath led from the front. He booted two goals and was one of his side’s best. Joshua Newman and Adrian Speedy were also excellent.

The Bulldogs finished the homeand-away season on top of the ladder. They stumbled in their first finals game against Somerville two weeks ago before bouncing back to claim promotion to MPFNL Division One.

Langy appoints Jamie Skelly

SOCCER

The local NPL2 club made the announcement late last week on its facebook page.

Skelly replaces Scott Miller who resigned last month.

Skelly is a former Langwarrin junior, reserves coach and senior assistant to both Miller and his predecessor Gus Macleod and has held senior coaching positions with Peninsula Strikers, Casey Comets and Noble Park United. His appointment came as no surprise after David Chick accepted the Bentleigh Greens role and Langy decided to honour the succession plan put in place five years earlier when Skelly became Miller’s assistant.

“We first spoke about a succession plan with the people who brought me back to the club (in late 2018) – Scott, Greg (Kilner) and John Heskins – and if I didn’t think that the timing was right I wouldn’t have taken the job,” Skelly said.

His father Jim, uncle Brian and brother Sean are all Langwarrin life members and there’s a sense that he was destined to one day take over as senior coach.

He’s hit the ground running and has been speaking to players about plans for next season.

“Judging from our initial discussions the players are happy and no-one has given any indication of leaving so my expectation is that most will stay.

“But if positions open up in the squad we’d likely bring in maybe three or four as we don’t need to make wholesale changes.

“Both myself and Greg have been speaking to the players and they have been positive about what next season might hold.”

Last season there was a focus on scoring more goals and that was achieved but Langwarrin also conceded the highest number of goals since its initial NPL campaign back in 2018.

“One of our problems was conceding late goals and we probably dropped 12 to 15 points in the last five minutes of games,” Skelly said.

“When we sat down at the end of the season and identified the problem some of it was attributable to not being fit enough as well as not having the right people on the park at the right time.

“And during our discussions with the players a lot of them felt that they could have been fitter so fitness is definitely an area that we will concentrate

on during the pre-season and throughout the season.

“But overall the players won’t see too much difference between me and Scott which comes from us working together for five years as coach and assistant.

“It’s been a really good environment for players and one I want to continue.

“We’ll focus on a couple of changes that we think can take us to the next level.”

And that next level is the elite club level of the sport in this state.

Frankston Pines remains the only local club to have walked boldly on that stage and Langwarrin would be overthe-moon if it could match that feat.

“I still need to sit down with the club and nut out what our aims are but first and foremost we need to stay in the league.

“It’s a tough league and it’s going to get even tougher with North Geelong, Bentleigh Greens, Melbourne Victory and Caroline Springs George Cross coming into it.

“So first we need to win as many games as we can and create a really competitive, strong side and what hap-

pens from there will happen.

“If we get everything right we’ll be pushing towards the top end of the table and giving ourselves every chance of taking the club to the next level.

“Right now the club and the team are in a good place so it’s a great opportunity to try and make that happen.”

Last week was big on coaching announcements as State 2 side Peninsula Strikers announced that senior coach Scott Morrison will be in charge for a second successive season.

Strikers also named Jake Priest as senior assistant.

“Scott’s first season in charge of the club produced thoroughly entertaining football and although we fell short of promotion, there is no one better suited to lead the club to another promotion push in 2024,” the club statement said.

“Jake has been the reserves coach at the club since the start of 2021 and has a very impressive record, only losing seven games from 57 with a 65% winning record, as well as leading the reserves to a first league title in 30 years.”

Gunning from Mornington while also announcing that captain Riley Anderton and Cooper Andrews have re-committed for another season.

“Ethan, Tommy and Charlie give us more leg speed and although they are young they have played senior football and are more than good enough,” Morrison said.

“Ethan will add more quality in midfield, his passing range will complement our wingers and strikers and can really hurt opposition teams.

“We needed to add some firepower to help take the load off Riley as we asked a lot of him this year and the addition of Tommy will help with that as Tommy is a handful for any defender.

“Charlie helps strengthen us at the back.

“He’s very versatile playing across there and not only is he a quality defender but he’s a ball player and brings players higher up the pitch into the game.”

Strikers held their presentation night last weekend and the senior best and fairest was Andy McIntyre with Shameit Sharma winning the reserves award.

Jamie Davidson was senior players’ player of the year and Jacob Pay was reserve players’ player of the year. Top scorer in the seniors was Anderton while Sharma was top scorer in the reserves.

monds left Strikers earlier this year eventually taking on the head coaching role at Rosebud but he’s back at Centenary Park as reserves coach.

“I went back to Strikers due to the opportunity to work again with Scotty and a talented set of lads already there and some exciting new young signings with whom I have previously worked with,” he said.

“Hopefully I can add to the overall set-up, assist in developing young players into first-team footballers and help get the club into State 1.

“I really enjoyed the spell at Rosebud and it was good to go back to my first club.

“If not for a points deduction which is still being contested Rosebud would have been promoted, so the lads were brilliant.

“I’ve left on good terms as Rosebud knew up front that I was there to help out till the end of the season and I wish them only the very best for 2024.”

Strikers also have been active in the transfer market signing a trio of young players in midfielder Ethan Goulding and striker Tom Wood (both from Langwarrin) and defender Charlie

As we went to press Frankston Pines received the bombshell news that head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor had resigned.

The rumour mill had moved into overdrive on Sunday with talk of former Strikers’ coach Donn Delaney taking over at Monterey Reserve next season and approaches being made to some Strikers’ players.

Pines president Lee Davies was adamant that the club had not made any decision regarding the senior coaching position but the persistent rumour was enough for Taylor to decide to leave.

What had started as a positive weekend for Pines with the first session of its inaugural Mini Roos program on Saturday attracting 51 children – 35 boys and 16 girls – ended in uncertainty with the senior coaching upheaval. Still in State 2 Skye United held its players’ player of the year night last weekend.

Goalkeeper Jonathan Crook won the senior players’ player award with defender Brett Heskins runner-up while striker Sebastian Stevens won the reserve players’ player award with midfielder Alessio Izzo runner-up.
