Paid parking begins at Rosebud Hospital Harrison Borthwick harrison@mpnews.com.au BAYSIDE Health have announced they will be introducing parking fees at Rosebud Hospital and The Mornington Centre. The parking fees came into effect

from 27 October. CEO of Peninsula Care Group and Bayside Health Jana Gazarek said in a statement the changes to paid parking at Rosebud Hospital and The Mornington Centre are due to rising operational and maintenance costs. “Rosebud Hospital and The Mornington Centre are experiencing rising

operational and maintenance costs associated with managing our car parks,” said Gazarek. “Introducing paid parking will ensure safe, available and accessible care parking for the people who need it the most, especially patients, visitors and hospital staff.” Gazarek also said the parking fees

will match other healthcare sites in Frankston and on the peninsula. “Parking fees will be the same as the other Peninsula Care Group sites, including Peninsula University Hospital and Golf Links Road rehabilitation centre – concession rates are available,” said Gazarek. “Clear signage will be installed at

both sites to guide patients and visitors through the payment process, flyers are available at both hospitals, and information is available on our website.” Nepean MP Anthony Marsh said he opposes the changes to paid parking at Rosebud Hospital. Continued Page 5

Basset hound races to take place in Somerville By Raia Flinos THE AUSTRALIAN Basset Hound Races will be held at Mornington Green in Somerville on 7 November. The free event will be full of fun races, where spectators can watch basset hounds wear toy jockeys and compete. Julie Lehmann said she thought of the idea at 3am six years ago. “We’re just a group of people that love their basset hounds, and I came up with a weird, quirky idea,” said Lehmann. “I thought we could put jockeys on the basset hounds and do races.” The event has happened annually since, and Lehmann said everyone who attends thoroughly enjoys the day. “The fun thing is the lovable nature of bassets; they don’t always go

straight because it’s a fun race and it’s not to be taken seriously,” said Lehmann. “The bassets may socialise on the track, or they may run towards their owner at the finish line.” She said the best part is watching the dogs running down the track. “There are bits flying everywhere as they run, you know, you’ve got their ears flapping, and you’ve got the folds of skin flying,” said Lehmann. Lehmann said there will be around 60 basset hounds competing on the day, with entries from interstate. “Our basset races are unique; there is a race in America called Canterbury Races, but they don’t have jockeys, and we haven’t heard of any other basset hound races elsewhere overseas,” said Lehmann. There are around eight races, a chil-

dren’s race, and then second-chance races, where the basset hounds compete for a wild card to run against the winners from the first eight races. “It brings the best out of people, and one lady that we didn’t know said that it was the best day, even better than her wedding day,” said Lehmann. “The public just loves it, and it’s free, and it’s just a fun day.” The event is sponsored by A La Carte Pet Food and Knose Pet Insurance, who are providing gifts and prizes. It costs $2 to enter a basset hound in the competition, which goes towards the trophy and ribbons. Anyone is welcome to attend the event at Mornington Green, 125 Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Somerville on 7 November.

Thousands of properties removed from erosion overlay Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au

Picture: Supplied

THOUSANDS of properties will be removed from the interim Erosion Management Overlay (EMO7) after the state government approved a planning scheme amendment. The approval of Planning Scheme Amendment C314morn means the number of properties covered by the overlay will be reduced from around 33,000 to 6,000. The amendment ensures planning controls are targeted to areas of landslide susceptibility and will make planning requirements simpler for landowners undertaking minor buildings and works. Mayor Cr Stephen Batty said the changes delivered a fairer and more targeted approach while continuing to manage landslide risk responsibly. “Council understands the frustration experienced by many property owners when the interim overlay was initially introduced earlier this year, and we’re pleased the updated mapping will significantly reduce the number of properties affected,” said Batty. The EMO7 was introduced by the Planning Minister in January of 2026 following urgent recommendations from the McCrae landslide board of inquiry (“Minister approves interim landslide overlay despite errors”, The News, 12/01/26). In August, the shire decided to request amendments to the overlay after an updated review using expert advice (“Shire to seek changes

to landslide overlay”, The News, 10/08/26). “We acted quickly to review the mapping, working with geotechnical experts to use better data and technology to more accurately identify

areas of landslide susceptibility,” said Batty. The revised EMO7 follows a review of existing landslide susceptibility mapping by geotechnical experts and uses improved data and

technology to better identify areas prone to landslides. The revised overlay will apply to about 4,200 residential and 1,800 non-residential properties, which cover about five per cent of the pen-

insula’s total land area. Around 40 per cent of the land within the updated overlay is public land. A small number of properties will be added to the overlay, many of which are adjacent to slopes where the refined mapping introduces a buffer zone to help manage the potential for new development to increase landslide risk. Batty said the updated overlay would remain an interim measure while the council prepares a comprehensive new shire-wide landslide susceptibility study to develop and apply permanent controls to replace the EMO7. This will take around two to four years to complete, including community consultation and a full planning scheme amendment process. “While an Erosion Management Overlay would not have prevented the McCrae landslide, council accepted the Minister’s decision to urgently implement the board of inquiry’s recommendation,” said Batty. “This amendment is an important step in improving the way landslide susceptibility is identified and managed while longer-term work continues.” More information is available at: mornpen.vic.gov.au/C314morn.

Shire finalises library service changes after review Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has notified library staff of what changes will be implemented as part of an upcoming library restructure. The shire completed a library review and presented staff with the proposed changes on 17 September (“Concern over restructure of shire libraries”, The News, 20/10/26). A staff consultation period took place, with the findings disclosed to staff at a meeting on 14 October. A staff member, who wishes to remain anonymous, said the staff are still unhappy and there have been three resignations, with more expected to come. “There were no library-qualified people on the working group that did this restructure so they have actively excluded us,” said the staff member. “I find that disgraceful and against the corporate council values of transparency and respect.” They confirmed Somerville Library will remain open for the time being while a lease negotiation takes place. Hours will be reduced to 10am to 5pm, and the library will be closed on Saturdays. The staff member said employees will now have the title of Library Officer or Senior Library Officer, and the position no longer requires librarian qualifications. “They have said this will expand the pool of people applying as they

have found that it is hard to attract librarians to fill those roles,” said the staff member. “In my opinion, it is also because nearly all positions in the last year were made temporary due to the review and that wouldn’t attract people who would have to resign a permanent position for a temporary one.” The employee said the proposed floating pool of staff to work across all branches has been abandoned and staff will be able to nominate a

preferred branch and stay there. They said there will be more specialist librarian roles, who will be based in branch to allow for coverage of lunch breaks and programs. “So, they are expected to do their work with this but also to cover absences,” said the staff member. “This spells disaster.” The staff member said originally, management said making the branches consistent with opening hours was a big part of the review. “However, Somerville won’t be

open weekends, Mornington has a contract with its cafe and will have to open earlier than other branches and so their consistency is already compromised,” said the staff member. The staff member said there will still be no casual staff, but the relief pool will include a Band 5 Senior Library Officer and four Band 4 Library Officers. “The relief pool seems too small for the amount of hours the casuals pick up,” said the staff member. “For example, just a few weeks ago, there were three casual librarians doing full shifts at one library due to staff leave, illness and training. There was another casual librarian on the same day at another branch. How will they be able to cover this number of absences with the equivalent of one Relief Senior Library Officer?” Mornington resident Lisa Tyler said she lives around the corner from Mornington Library and uses it regularly. “I believe it is absolutely essential for all of the community,” said Tyler. She wrote to the Director of Communities at the shire, Cheryl Casey, requesting information surrounding the community engagement undertaken in June. “Given that council services are taxpayer-funded, the community has a democratic right to verify how its feedback was interpreted,” Tyler wrote in the letter. “If this review was truly launched

to ensure the network “meets community needs”, there should be no hesitation in showing the public exactly what those stated needs were.” In response, Casey said 621 community members were consulted and asked about their experiences of library services, current and future needs, priorities, and opportunities for improvement. She said the process was not designed to seek feedback on specific staffing structures, positions, or employment arrangements. Casey said a summary of the community engagement findings is currently being finalised and will be made publicly available. “The review does not recommend reducing access to library services,” wrote Casey in the email. “Instead, it recommends a more flexible and connected service model that will support longer opening hours, expanded Library Van services, improved digital access, stronger community partnerships and more consistent services across the peninsula.” Casey said the future of Somerville Library is still unsure and council is working to extend the lease to allow more time for a detailed review. “In relation to staffing, I reassure you that the final workforce structure strengthens the library service, with an overall increase in staffing resources and a continued focus on professional library expertise,” said Casey.

‘Save Our Seat’ questions state government’s transparency Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au COMMUNITY group Save Our Seat have raised questions about the state government’s transparency after the Planning Minister failed to respond to a request for information. In August, a government document revealed the Arthurs Seat Eagle was invited to propose changes to the draft planning permit conditions for its rollercoaster-style luge before final approval was granted (“State government consulted with Arthurs Seat Eagle over approval conditions”, The News, 19/08/26). On 5 August, Save Our Seat wrote to Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny and requested the public release of information regarding any changes to the permit conditions. The group sent a follow up letter on 29 September and are yet to receive a response. Save Our Seat spokesperson Tony Robertson said it’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that the government wants to keep details of the behindclosed-doors process out of public view. “Why should a developer be given the opportunity to propose changes to permit conditions behind closed doors, while the community is left in the dark about what was requested, what was changed and why?” said Robertson. “The Minister’s failure to even acknowledge our correspondence is deeply disappointing and raises serious questions about accountability.” The letter requested a public release

of any changes to draft permit conditions proposed by Arthurs Seat Eagle, details of any proposed changes that were accepted or rejected, and an explanation of the planning grounds for any changes. Robertson said the peninsula community deserves to know whether the final permit conditions were determined on planning merits or due to pressure from the developer. “Planning approval may have been granted, but that does not remove the government’s responsibility to be

changes it sought behind the scenes,” said Robertson. Government spokesperson Liam Miles provided the following response, requesting it be attributed to a Victorian government spokesperson: “Upgrades at Arthurs Seat Eagle were approved following a thorough planning assessment and consultation process.” The state government declined to comment on the lack of response to Save Our Seat’s letters.

transparent about how that decision was reached,” said Robertson. “We are simply asking for the information needed to scrutinise the outcome. What’s the Minister hiding?” Robertson said given Kilkenny’s refusal to act, Save Our Seat is calling on the Arthurs Seat Eagle to come clean on what changes it sought to the permit conditions, and why. “If the Eagle wants to restore its reputation in the community, it can start by being open about what

Marsh criticises hospital paid parking Continued from Page 1 “Introducing parking fees for hospital staff and patients in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis is completely tone deaf,” said Marsh. Marsh said it is a slap in the face to the healthcare workers who show up every day to care for the community. “Our community should not have to fundraise for essential equipment, and local healthcare workers should not be charged simply to park at work, while Rosebud Hospital continues to fall into despair,” said Marsh. Under the changes, staff will pay $4.50 per-eight-hour shift, which has always been the policy at Peninsula Health and Peninsula Care Group. Marsh has written to the Minister for Health Ingrid Stitt in hopes she would be able to intervene. Marsh said in his letter to Stitt that imposing parking fees on hardworking healthcare workers while the (Rosebud) hospital itself continues to languish after years of under-investment is unacceptable. “The prospect of nurses, doctors, allied health professionals and support staff being charged simply to turn up to work is utterly indefensible,” said Marsh in his letter to Stitt. “Should any such charges be contemplated, I call on you to intervene immediately and ensure they do not proceed.” Parking rates at Rosebud Hospital and The Mornington Centre will remain free for visits less than 30 minutes.

SWANs soar at 30th anniversary soiree THE Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN) have celebrated their 30th anniversary with the launch of a new book - Where SWANs Soar - together with a portrait photo exhibition featuring SWAN members over time. SWAN is the longest running volunteer led women’s organisation in Victoria – some say, in Australia. It has been dedicated to striving for social justice on the Mornington Peninsula and greater Frankston since 1996. The launch was attended by many SWAN members, including three of the Founders, Fran Rule, Maureen McPhate and Judith Couacaud-Graley, as well as shire councillor Kate Roper and Jodie Belyea, Federal MP for Dunkley. Roper and Belyea heartily congratulated SWAN on achieving this significant milestone and complimented SWAN members for their dedication to tackling disadvantage, discrimination and inequality in the local area over such a long time. The exhibition displayed 35 Individual SWAN portraits and group photos including SWAN’s Women for Housing Justice, Women against Gender-based violence and of those who coordinated SWAN’s awareness raising activities in the lead up to the Voice referendum. Copies of this new publication are available to buy for $25.00 by contacting swanwomen@outlook.com. There will be a public display of the portrait exhibition, together with the release of SWAN’s documentary video, also entitled ‘Where SWAN’s Soar’ during International Women’s month in March 2027.

Electric vehicle charger trial across peninsula By Raia Flinos PUBLIC pole-mounted electric vehicle chargers will be installed across the peninsula as part of United Energy’s Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) Trial. The United Energy trial is delivering chargers across its network to improve access to convenient charging and support the transition to electric vehicles. The proposed sites are 157 Marine Dr, Safety Beach; 46 Hotham Rd, Sorrento; 29 Hurley Ct, Balnarring; 23 Marine Drive, Safety Beach; 87 Byrnes Rd, Shoreham; and 42 Lochiel Ave, Mt Martha. Director of Planning and Liveability at the shire, Andrew Pomeroy, said they provided feedback to United Energy about location appropriateness, community demand, and safety considerations. “We promoted the trial’s consultation with our community, encouraging people to input their preferred locations,” said Pomeroy. “The shire supports additional charging stations in suitable locations throughout the peninsula, to service the increasing need.” The community was invited to suggest locations via United Energy’s portal as well as the council’s Integrated Transport Strategy public exhibition process. Sites were then assessed and selected by the shire’s Traffic and Transport team and United Energy’s Infrastructure team. United Energy said the program provides an opportunity for the shire to expand local charging infrastructure on the peninsula, particularly in areas where there is an absence of EVCI. They said the trial will also contribute to emissions reduction goals and support residents and visitors to adopt EVs. United Energy will share data from the trial with the shire.

In 2025, the Australian Energy Regulator approved a plan for an innovative trial which allowed CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy to begin rolling out the pole-mounted electric vehicle chargers. The 22kW chargers are a first-of-kind model, with each one operated by multiple e-mobility service providers. They aim to give EV drivers more choice and lower prices by allowing the multiple e-mobility service providers to compete for their business at each charger. CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy’s Head of Customer Connections, Dan Bye, said the trial would fill a void in Victoria’s charging market. “More people are investing in EVs, and it’s essential they have easy access to reliable and affordable charging,” said Bye. “Our trial aims to give EV drivers the charging options they need in the locations where they want them.” United Energy has sent out letters to nearby residents, and deployment is expected in early November.

Lions Club holds annual Lego competition Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Lions Club held its annual Lego Technical Building Competition, with 13 schools from across the peninsula competing. On 22 October, teams of six to eight students from Year 4 and 5 at local schools competed in the competition at Mornington Theatre. Head of Membership at the Lions Club, Graham Read, said the competition was designed to help engage young people in a non-physical and creative challenge. “It’s really to engage the local community through the schools and to try and engage with the youth, in terms of getting them to do a non-manual or a non-combative kind of sport,” said Read. “And we found that this kind of intellectual sort of challenge is really something that is inspiring their creativity.” Each school was provided with a Technical Lego Kit a week prior to the competition. A financial grant from Bendigo Bank Mt Martha contributed towards the purchase of the technical kits provided. This year’s challenge was for the students to build two structures, with Part A able to move Part B. The built modules had to remain within a 1m x 1m board while their designed constructs met the challenge brief.

The primary schools that competed were Moorooduc, Mt Eliza, Mt Eliza North, Mornington, Mt Martha, Kunyung, Peninsula Grammar, Balcombe Grammar, St Thomas More, Dromana, Osborne, Rosebud, and Boneo. Mount Eliza North took home first place with their design, but Read said each team was creative and completed impressive builds. He said it was enjoyable for everyone present to see the creativity, enthusiasm and thrill gained by all the

students taking part in the competition. “The noise in the room was enough to tell you they were thrilled,” said Read. Lions Club Secretary John Hannah was the technical compliance referee and part of the judging panel. The teams were given 60 minutes to construct their competition entry before the judges considered the constructions together with the technical design features.

Mornington Lions President Patricia Forsyth then presented an inscribed Shield Trophy plus a new Lego Technical Kit to Mt Eliza North. Each participating school were also provided with a Challenge Certificate and kept the Lego Technical Kit used for their construction in the competition. Read said the Lions Club thinks it is important to engage young people with events such as this. “We’re looking at a future, and we

want to grow the club, and we want to keep continuing to engage with the community,” said Read. “The Lions Club depends on volunteers to enable this kind of work to be undertaken, and we always need more volunteers.” Read said they are already looking forward to designing a new kit for the 2027 competition.

French Ambassador visits The Briars for Napoleon collection By Raia Flinos THE FRENCH Ambassador to Australia, His Excellency David Martinon, visited The Briars to explore the peninsula’s connection to Napoleon Bonaparte. On 23 October, Martinon was joined by Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie, mayor Cr Stephen Batty, and deputy mayor Cr Paul Pingiaro at The Briars. Martinon received a private viewing of selected items from The Briars’ internationally significant Napoleonic Collection. Batty said the visit highlights an extraordinary chapter of local history that continues to connect the peninsula with France more than 200 years later. “We are honoured to welcome His Excellency Mr Martinon and share the unique story that connects our region to one of history’s most influential figures,” said Batty. The collection is curated by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and will form part of a dedicated exhibition when the homestead reopens later this year following restoration works. Pingiaro said the visit also highlights the restoration of The Briars homestead and the preservation of its unique stories for future generations. The collection can be traced back to the Balcombe family, who befriended Napoleon during his exile to St Helena in 1815. Personal items gifted by Napoleon became the foundation of the collection at The Briars and descendant Dame Mabel Brookes later expanded the collection by acquiring artefacts associated with Napoleon. The 382-piece Mabel Brookes Napoleonic Collection was bequeathed to the National Gallery of Victoria in 1975. Selected objects were displayed at The Briars from 1989 until the homestead closed for restoration in 2019. The collection was transferred to Morning-

ton Peninsula Shire in 2016 from the National Gallery of Victoria and is housed at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. The collection is recognised as one of the most significant collections of Napoleonic artefacts outside Europe and is widely regarded as the largest of its kind beyond the continent. Notable items include a table believed to have been used by Napoleon while writing his memoirs, a cabinet from The Briars Pavilion on St Helena, Napoleon’s death mask, and a range

of personal effects and furniture linked to the former French emperor. In 2014, the homestead was broken into and ten items from the collection were stolen, which led to security upgrades at The Briars (“Napoleon returns to The Briars”, The News, 30/05/16). In 2022, one of the stolen items, a portrait of Napoleon’s wife Josephine, was recovered after it was listed on an online selling site (“Stolen Napoleonic artefact recovered”, The News, 28/03/22).

As part of the restoration of The Briars homestead, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and the National Trust are curating a display of furniture and items from the Dame Mabel Brookes collection for the homestead’s reopening later this year. Visitors will once again be able to discover the collection and explore the historical connection between France, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Balcombe family and the peninsula.

STATE ELECTION 2026

Surbhi Snowball announced as Labor’s candidate for Nepean Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au

Picture: Supplied

THE Labor Party’s candidate for Nepean has been announced. Surbhi Snowball is no stranger to political campaigns, having contested Flinders for Labor in 2022. She is now entering the challenging contest for Nepean; a seat just six months out from a by-election where her party did not field a candidate. “I am running because I feel that our community needs a good representative,” said Snowball. Snowball currently works in finance after re-entering the workforce after raising two children. Born in Mauritius, Snowball came to Australia in 2000, “fell in love, got married” and has called Melbourne home ever since. She rescinded her Mauritian citizenship before contesting the federal election, as federal politicians are prohibited from holding foreign citizenship under the Australian Constitution. “I am, proudly, only Australian!” said Snowball. “If I am going to be an Australian citizen and participate, then I am going to fully participate.” Her family moved to the peninsula around ten years ago, and she told The News she has been active in the community ever since. “I have never wanted anyone to turn around and say ‘you didn’t participate’ or ‘you did nothing for our childrens’ future’,” said Snowball. “This community is my own. The people that live here are my own. If I don’t do it, who will? And if I don’t

do it now, then when will I?” Snowball said she isn’t focussed on a single Labor policy or belief. “It’s never a single issue for me,” said Snowball. “Fundamentally, I don’t think there is a decision you can make on human life or economics if you are not taking the environment into consideration.” Having said that, Snowball said she is aware that in the current election, the cost of living is a huge issue. “Not that the two are separate but I am running to be a representative of the people. I’m not going to say ‘I’ll champion the environment’ when every second person says, ‘the cost of living is hurting me’.”

Snowball acknowledged that things like potholes are an issue but said Ben Carroll has a plan to get them addressed. “I’m not saying it is not a problem, but I take it with a grain of salt and perspective and know there is certain bucket of money to deal with all the issues we need addressed.” Snowball said Labor has committed $4m to upgrade the Emergency Department at Rosebud Hospital, and renovations are set to begin next year. On another contentious issue for Nepean, Arthurs Seat Eagle’s planned development, Snowball acknowledged the community is against it but said although it has been approved that

approval is contingent upon it meeting stringent environmental requirements. Snowball acknowledges that Labor needs a fresh perspective and said this is possible under the leadership of Ben Carroll. “We need to bring things that have been outsourced back in house. Because of these inefficiencies, these cost blowouts,” said Snowball. “So much of it was exacerbated by Covid, and I feel like it has never recovered. “How did we get to this stage where everything costs so much? We do need to do something about it, because it is not ok. “I feel like Australia has been very fortunate and very lucky that we’ve had an insulated economy for so long; protected from various global crisis. “But when costs keep going up and up, we reach that tipping point, and we’ve gotten there.” On the state of politics, Snowball said “I wish people would come together, left or right, and work for our community. “It baffles me that people don’t do this.” Snowball said she believes One Nation are our greatest risk to democracy. “How does one get to the stage where they demonise everyone else? It’s horrendous,” said Snowball. “It’s so sad. I can’t believe there is anyone in our community would think like that. “But we are Australian, and when any party comes in and tries to do the blame game, or scare campaign, they fail miserably.” Snowball, who speaks five lan-

guages, said as a nation we need to be more aspirational. “There are parties that will not let the truth get in the way of a good story. And the inflammatory language is awful and not fair,” said Snowball. “We can aspire to do better, and we can do better. It is disgraceful that one boatload of people can tell another boatload of people they are not welcome here.” Snowball believes the good Labor has done in the community gets lost, as it is far easier to focus on sensational news. On example she mentions is the development of Urgent Care Clinics. “Before that, every day the newspapers were full of stories about ambulance ramping at hospitals. We built these clinics and the problem has decreased significantly but then everybody just stopped talking about it and didn’t acknowledge what was been achieved,” said Snowball. “We build so many things. But it takes a long time to do things.” Snowball said Labor had achieved many things in the electorate of Nepean. From $29m of local school funding, the Rye Skate Park, playgrounds at Capel Sound and Hillview, or wider solutions like free dental for students. As for why you should vote for Snowball, she said, “I live on the peninsula, I am part of this community, and I will represent this community”. “I will listen to what people need and want and do my very best to represent them.” “And people should know what is happening down here is because Labor are delivering.”

AUSTRALIAN OWNED AND MADE ON THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Marsh commits Liberals to rebuild of Flinders Pier Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN MP Anthony Marsh has committed to rebuilding Flinders Pier under an elected Liberal government. On 26 October, Marsh said the Victorian Liberals remain committed to fully restoring the pier, and they will deliver it if they win the upcoming state election. “This local landmark is a non-negotiable priority for our community, and I am proud to have fought alongside our community since the campaign began in 2021,” said Marsh. “I will be even more proud to see it finally delivered under a Liberal government.” Marsh said the project has not been delivered because Labor “has turned their back on our community while funnelling money into their own backyard”, in reference to $11.9m spent on Altona Pier. Charles Reis OAM, who started the Save Flinders Pier campaign, has been advocating for the pier for years. Reis said he welcomed Marsh’s commitment. “The Flinders Pier is an iconic part of the Mornington Peninsula. We never understood why the current government abandoned the rebuilding works when it was only two months from completion,” said Reis. “We genuinely welcome Anthony Marsh’s commitment, along with those of other candidates, to prioritise the popular Flinders Pier in the upcoming state election.” Flinders Pier was first built in 1864,

with a concrete section added in 2011. In 2020, Parks Victoria announced its Better Piers and Waterside Facilities program included the demolition of the inner section of Flinders Pier (“Heritage Pier faces partial demolition”, The News, 23/03/21). In 2021, members of the Flinders Community Association were sup-

ported by Sir David Attenborough in their quest to save the inner section of the pier (“Attenborough supports Flinders Pier”, The News, 12/07/21). The Heritage Council of Victoria added the pier to the State Heritage Register in late 2022, following a state budget allocation of $1.5m for emergency repairs due to community

pressure (“Heritage listing for pier”, The News, 18/10/22). The old section of the pier, a 180-metre timber section, was closed in April 2020 due to deterioration of piles and decking. In 2025, Ports and Freight Minister Melissa Horne said access to the inner section would be restored

as part of Labor’s $18m investment in restoring Victoria’s heritage piers (“Flinders Pier restoration under way as campaigners urge attention to outer section”, The News, 03/12/25). In June, it was announced the inner section of the pier would not be rebuilt due to the scope of the restoration and a lack of funding (“Flinders Pier restoration abandoned”, The News, 29/06/26). Following the announcement, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and members of the community gathered to call on the state government to complete the restoration of the pier (“Council and community come together to advocate for Flinders Pier restoration”, The News, 17/08/26). Mayor Cr Stephen Batty said the pier is part of the peninsula’s identity and should be restored. “Completing the full restoration project, as committed and originally funded by the state government in November 2025, will preserve a significant community asset and support local tourism,” said Batty. “Victoria’s finances are under pressure, and we understand governments face difficult decisions. But this is a project that has already commenced and remains unfinished.” Reis said Marsh has been part of the Save Flinders Pier campaign for around five years, and he is in full support of the commitment. “It’s something he has a history with, and I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of his promise,” said Reis.

HARD QUIZ KIDS

THE HUNTING PARTY

AGES OF ICE

ABC FAMILY, 7.30pm

Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson has built a career out of roasting other people, but in this family-friendly Hard Quiz spin-off, Gleeson is the one on the coals as four contestants aged 10-13 take on his trivia challenge. What these junior smartypants might lack in size, they certainly make up for in sass. This week, the host grills The Princess Diaries devotee Amelie, periodic table whizz Finn, The Adventures of Tintin expert Zara and ﬁshing show Chasing Monsters fan Atticus (pictured with Gleeson) in their specialist subjects and a few of his own choosing. Their general knowledge is impressive – but it’s the clever young contestants’ comedic timing that steals the show.

SEVEN, 9pm

ABC TV, 8pm

Centred on the hunt for serial killers who escaped a top-secret facility, this imaginative procedural takes a leaf out of Elsbeth’s book by enlisting a wealth of guest stars to play its disturbed fugitives. Will & Grace star Eric McCormack gets this second season premiere started as Ron “the Boogeyman” Simms, who targets women seeking romance, and fixates on former FBI profiler Bex (Melissa Roxburgh, pictured). Monday’s second episode focuses on a murderer who preserves his victims in resin – keep an eye out for Emmy Award winner Niecy Nash-Betts as Erica, the detective who brought him to justice the first time around.

Adventure, science and cinematography combine to make this nature documentary one of a kind. Doctor Who star David Tennant’s commanding narration doesn’t hurt, either. The three-part series is a deep dive into our planet’s frozen wilderness and a study of the researchers pushing the boundaries to understand it better. Tuesday’s opening episode joins a glaciologist in Greenland who is tracking a thundering river of “meltwater”, before ﬁnding Australian engineer and explorer Dr Adrian McCallum (pictured) on a 535km ski trip across an ice sheet to collect critical climate data. It’s a fascinating look at these fragile ecosystems and those safeguarding their future. 3010

Hands of our libraries!

taken for granted. If the parties are the problem, why continue voting for a party? Pam Pitt, Rosebud VP Independents for Mornington Peninsula

The government has classed Mornington Peninsula as metropolitan – but we lack many of the resources other metropolitan areas have. We have, however, one – our libraries. They offer a wide variety of resources – books, DVDs, magazines, etc. – suitable for all ages. The libraries are scattered through the peninsula – offering easy access to all – particularly when public transport in this area is limited. You have to query why anyone would want to close a library – do they or have they ever visited or used the library? They are a meeting place for many people, used for studying – you can use a computer, print out documents – and most importantly our librarians are there to answer and help with queries. Librarians are essential to the library – and to tell them they have to reapply for their positions, many of whom have worked for the council for many years must have been a shock. If a library is closed, does the council plan to use the money from the sale to go towards existing libraries or will it be swallowed up in general revenue? It will be interesting to see what the council plans on doing. If this happens with one library – you could visit your local library and find a sign on the door saying “shut” and directions to the nearest library, which could be kilometres away. A sneaky but effective way of shutting libraries unless the community stands up and says “hands of our libraries”. Sandra Barry, Rye

The state election is now but five weeks away. A newly arrived candidate has put her name forward and presented her view of what needs to done in regards to schooling in Mt Eliza. Promising $20m to improve education facilities at the Mount Eliza Secondary School this candidate demonstrates that she does not really understand how budgets and education budgets, in particular, are allocated. Chris Crewther has stated that, if re-elected, he would have access to $10m which would be used in upgrades and improvements at the Mount Eliza Secondary School. For example, (i) a dedicated student wellbeing facility; (ii) a redeveloped senior learning and drama centre; and (iii) a master plan - to plan and cost areas most in need of attention in the Mt Eliza Secondary School. Planning improvements in education, at any level, is costly and complicated. Chris Crewther’s suggestions are both realistic and feasible. Numerous and consistent reports on educational standards, issues and problems from other countries suggest that Australia is not doing too well, when compared with other countries. If a new state government was to be elected on November 28, with Chris Crewther, our local member, playing a major role, we could expect to see a different approach to many of this state’s most urgent and pressing social, economic and educational problems. Michael W. Small, Mornington

Libraries

What is it with our shire, they obviously have it in for our outstanding library service. Every few years it gets attacked, under the misapprehension that the community will just roll over. We once had a fantastic library bus service, for parts of the shire not easily serviced by our main libraries. It took years of slow neglect and filibuster by the shire to kill that off. And now again, our library service faces new cutbacks and devastation by an unthinking lot of non-representative shire officers and a few philosophically challenged council members. Leave our perfectly well working libraries alone, and at least let the people of our shire have a say on this totally stupid proposition. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

A century of potholes

I enjoy reading about what life was like 100 years ago, for example, the personal details such as where people travelled, gifts for good deeds, and descriptions of wedding parties, so I was amused, and somewhat dismayed, to read in the “100 Years Ago This Week” (13 October) that a letter writer in 1926 was complaining about potholes and the condition of local roads in Hastings. A century later, motorists travelling along the peninsula could be forgiven for wondering whether much has changed. Some of the potholes on our roads are not only uncomfortable but potentially dangerous. It seems remarkable that, after one hundred years, the same complaint still matters. Anne Kruger, Rye

Bush worth protecting

Well done to Elizabeth Cester and other locals whose submissions helped protect bushland and wildlife from a quarry expansion in Langwarrin (“Quarry extension application refused in Langwarrin green wedge”, The News, 20/10/26). It’s a reminder that speaking up works. Most of us value the bush, beaches and wildlife that make the peninsula special, but those places only stay protected when residents take the time to have their say. With proposals for development on green wedge land and the planned luge in Arthurs Seat State Park, there’s plenty more to weigh in on. A submission, a call to an MP or a chat with a neighbour all count. Green spaces give us more than a view; they give us clean air, shade and birdsong. And once the bush is gone, it doesn’t come back. Amy Hiller, Kew

Protect natural heritage The destruction of old Messmate trees at Red

PAGE 26

Southern Peninsula News

Hill (“One hundred-year-old trees cut down”, The News, 13/10/26) and the community’s campaign to protect land at HMAS Cerberus (“Western Port community lodges Cerberus submission”, The News, 20/10/26) raise the same question: why are irreplaceable natural assets so poorly protected? At Red Hill, two magnificent old trees were felled for a CFA shed, despite planning overlays recognising the site’s significant landscape and vegetation values. These trees provided wildlife habitat, stored carbon and supported biodiversity. Meeting planning requirements does not necessarily justify destroying such environmental assets. Meanwhile, 17 community organisations have united to urge the Commonwealth to protect land proposed for divestment at HMAS Cerberus. Mornington Peninsula Shire proposes conservation as the primary use of the 1,164 hectares, allowing only compatible recreation, tourism or aquaculture. A conservation park would protect native vegetation, Western Port’s internationally significant wetlands, wildlife corridors and Bunurong cultural heritage. It would store carbon, strengthen climate resilience and provide public access to nature while avoiding inappropriate development. Federal MP Zoe McKenzie, Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt and Victorian Environment Minister Jaclyn Symes must work together to support the calls for conservation to be the primary use of HMAS Cerberus. They should secure public ownership and lasting protection for this irreplaceable natural asset, ensuring its ecological and cultural values are preserved for future generations. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Dromana disappointment

Lately there’s continued talk in the township of Dromana that the town planning has failed the community. An increasing amount of hospitality venues keep opening, but a lack of retail keeps foot traffic non-existent Monday to Friday. Since the pandemic we’ve lost multiple businesses. Many have been replaced by evening operating restaurants. With next to no retail left in the precinct, there isn’t actually much to do in town anymore. The slow construction of the pier combined with the lack of shops and things to draw people to the town, has really put a dampener on what was a thriving little place to live. Exiting the freeway into the Dromana turn off (I’m sure the main arterial signage is still missing) the underpass at the Aldi is covered in graffiti and overgrown with weeds. Then the signage and roads begin to decay shortly after. Dromana could be the gateway to the Peninsula, yet it’s been forgotten about. If only someone was listening... Adam Richmond, Dromana

Why Independents

When I was young, I believed in a benevolent government. I believed that political parties were working in the best interests of the nation and state. Over the years, I have realised that political parties are subject to many influences – big business and their lobbyists, big donors, and above all, the party line. So I became interested in the Independent movement. Because an Independent MP is only answerable to the community they represent. There is no party line. They use their voting power to negotiate with the parties to achieve the outcomes that benefit the community. The problem with the Mornington and Nepean electorates is that they are safe Liberal seats. There is small interest by the ALP in funding an electorate where it doesn’t expect to win an election. The Liberal party has little incentive to invest in us because we continue to vote them in. We have to make the seats unsafe in order to get the major parties interested in providing for our community. By voting Independent, we achieve two goals. The seat is no longer safe and we put an MP into power who can negotiate with whichever party is in power and who puts our community’s interests first. It is time that we are no longer

28 October 2026

School funding

Promises

Mornington is hearing plenty of promises from Liberal and independent candidates. What voters need to remember is that a promise without funding is just a press release. So don’t ask what they’re promising - ask what they’ve delivered and where the funding will come from. For example, promising school funding that Labor has already announced isn’t a plan. It’s taking credit for someone else’s work. School funding is already on the way under Labor. Promises are empty when a candidate pledges what has already been committed by Labor. Further, a train line to Mornington isn’t going to built with a promise. It takes a business case, a budget and a government to deliver. What is the cost, and where’s the timeline? Is that really our community’s priority? Promises aren’t funding. Only a Labor government can commit the money, and Labor is the party that delivers. Mornington doesn’t voices on the sidelines. We need a seat at the table where the budget is decided. Dr Helen Keleher, Mornington

Follow the money

Every election we have to hear about those nasty independents being “funded” by Climate200. It is interesting that Climate200’s core values centre around: community independents, integrity, honesty, transparency, accountability, climate action, political independence, political integrity, ethical political donations, lobbying reform, management of conflicts of interest, community representation, evidence-based policy, gender equality, respectful politics, constructive debate, cooperation across political divisions, and accountability to voters. There is no evidence that the candidates are “controlled” by Climate200. They do, however, vet independent candidates to make sure they share these values before supporting them. Before an independent is financially supported they must start the vetting process by filing a campaign support form which requires information about the community organisation, its candidate, community backing and values. On the other hand, special interest groups supporting the Political Oligopoly share these core values: protecting members’ interests, influencing government policy and legislation, shaping regulations and taxation, securing financial and political benefits, lobbying politicians and decision-makers, seeking access to government and funding, protecting existing benefits and privileges, influencing public spending and resource allocation, promoting preferred policies, and resisting decisions that disadvantage their interests.

Most special interest groups, however, throw their funding all over the place hoping that it gives them an advantage after the election no matter who wins. Unfortunately, unlike Independents, the Political Oligopoly Candidates do not have to declare who donates to them as campaign finance disclosure allows the money to flow through the party. If we look at VEC data for Anthony Marsh in the by-election you would see he only received $5,000 and spent nothing. AEC data for Zoe McKenzie in the last federal election she had “zero” donations and “zero” expenditure. So I am all for real time disclosures but first we have to level the playing field. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Commitment to respect

The shocking attack on Helen Haines outside her electorate office has left so many of us shaken. My thoughts are with Helen, her family, her staff and volunteers, and the community she serves with such care. It’s also prompted conversations we need to have about how we treat people in public life. Here in Nepean, Tracee Hutchison has spoken publicly about the sustained abuse she experienced during the May by-election, and how it contributed to her decision not to stand again. Whatever our political differences, we should be concerned when people are driven away from representing their community by harassment and intimidation. As the independent candidate for Nepean, I commit to conducting a respectful campaign and making those expectations clear to everyone campaigning alongside me. I invite every fellow candidate to make the same commitment publicly. We can debate policies vigorously, scrutinise records and ask difficult questions while treating each other with dignity. Personal abuse, sexist remarks, threats and intimidation have no place in that contest, whether in person or online. To give that commitment practical effect, I propose that each campaign nominate a captain for every shift at pre-poll and election-day booths. That person would take responsibility for their team’s conduct, respond promptly to concerns and intervene if behaviour falls short. Candidates must remain accountable for how they run their campaigns. Voters, volunteers and candidates should all feel safe participating in our democracy. There is more that unites us than divides us. Let’s demonstrate that in how we conduct this election. Kim Robbins Independent candidate for Nepean

A fair go

In the by-election last April Anthony Marsh’s supporters harassed and intimidated his independent opponent, Tracee Hutchinson. She spoke on the Raf Epstein program on 20 October about the persistent personal attacks to which she was subjected. In speaking about the appalling attack on Dr Helen Haines, Andrew Taylor, the federal leader of the Liberals said that personal abuse is a threat to our democracy. He is right and yet Anthony Marsh failed to stop personal abuse of his opponent by his supporters. Angus Taylor also said that ‘we have long been able to resolve our differences of view through long and vigorous debate’. That is not the case with the current Nepean MLA. He promulgated and amplified false claims about the cost of the Victorian treaty. He then refused several times to meet and listen to the views of the Southern Peninsula Allies Group who wanted to explain how the treaty, when implemented, would actually save money by ending wasteful expenditure on failed projects done without consultation. The Liberals say they want to promote Australian values. A core Aussie value is to give things a fair go. If the treaty benefits do not work out then Aboriginal people will be the first to call for a change of approach, but to scrap the treaty, after 10 years of negotiating and planning, without giving it a fair go is un-Australian. The current member for the state seat of Nepean is unfit to hold public office. If you support giving the Treaty a fair go, but cannot bring yourself to vote Labor, there is a sane alternative, which is to vote for the independent candidate for Nepean, Kim Robbins, and for the independent candidates standing for the Upper House, led by Antoinette Pitt. Ralph Catts, Rye

Respectful and polite

In the lead up to the coming election there is an opportunity for all candidates to consider their behaviour and take responsibility for the actions of their supporters during the campaign. There is no place in our democracy for “dirt sheets” or personal attacks on candidates. I have witnessed the intimidation and harassment at the Rosebud pre-poll and polling day election centre. It does no one any good. Rather it deters genuine enquiry from voters looking for answers and advice in order to make an informed decision prior to completing their civic duty of voting. Running the gauntlet to vote has become an unnecessarily stressful event for many when it should be a happy, friendly community experience. Is it possible for the candidates, one of whom will be afforded the honour of representing our electorate in the state parliament, to co-operate and agree on a code of conduct for themselves, their volunteers and supporters. We can disagree, we can be passionate in our beliefs but we can also be respectful and polite. The candidates are opponents, not enemies. Rosemary Bates, McCrae

Independent thought

Being out of step with the majority of peninsula residents is criticised by M. G. Free (Election predictability, Letters, 20/10/26) in his description of certainties in life. He could have added that staying a safe Liberal seat doesn’t really seem to achieve much either. By attacking support, or supporters, for independent candidates such as Kim Robbins in Nepean, he fails to acknowledge that fresh eyes and an unencumbered approach free from party priorities and restrictions might give us a better result. It takes enormous courage and commitment to stand against the party machine and Kim Robbins has that in spades. Following the mob, whether Liberal or One Nation, is hardly likely to be the most thoughtful or effective approach. Post election, the majority rules but pre-election, independent thought has to be best. Alan Hall, Rye

Unnecessary criticism

M. G. Free, I find your criticism of David Gill and Joe Lenzo for being “out of step”, somewhat chilling (Election predictability, Letters, 20/10/26). As well as ironic, given your family name! How would evolution of idea, production, society, and species ever occur, were all to remain always “in step” with the rest? It would all be a sad echo chamber, which it all too often already is in political circles. No, it is historically those who have the guts to stand out from the crowd, with their lateral thought, imagination, foresight and ethics, despite discouraging heckling from the rusty, who have led us all forward. We were made human, not sheep. Paula Polson, Dromana

Mornington forum

Thank you to Greens Candidate Kai Titcher and Labor Candidate Kerry Macdonald for paying their respects to the Boon Warung people in their opening address at the candidates forum on Monday 19th in Mornington. Greens candidate Kai was the only candidate to speak of supporting Treaty which he did in his closing words. When much has been talked about removing the Treaty with First Nations people by the Liberal and One Nation parties should they be in government after the state election, it is disappointing this important issue for all Victorians was not addressed by other candidates at the forum. I encourage people to attend the Treaty and First Peoples Information Sesssion on Saturday 31 October 2pm in The Studio, Wilsons Rd Mornington and thank the Southern Peninsula Allies with First Peoples Assembly of Victoria for organising this. Georgie Stubbs, Mt Martha

Egg-lection time

At three-years-old, Eggeral candidate for Coop SchieflEgg would, if she wins, become one of the coop’s most average-aged Member of

Coops. SchieflEgg was hatched on Coolart Rd, and emigrated to the Coop when she was young. She joined the egg-layers at age six-months, laying hard before stepping back into a Reservist role and completing a Bachelor of Eggonomics. SchieflEgg is committed to winning the perch from Paul Egg-curio. “Genuinely, I’m standing because I’m the best chicken for the job,” said SchieflEgg. “My opponent seems more focused on cock-fights and how well his crowing is received.” SchieflEgg will also be contending with ex-Eggeral Peter Hengelico. “Hengelico quit after not getting pre-sel-egg-ted and joined the Eggeratarian Partly. Six days later, he is now running for One Lay-tion. “When was the last time Lay-cinta Allen came to the Coop? The same for Hen Carroll. He’s never laid here (because he’s a rooster) yet he’s trying to convince you he cares for you?” SchieflEgg believes humans have given up on the Coop. “I had to travel to the other side of the coop for food-scraps, and have seen the worst of coop-holes,” said SchieflEgg. “But it goes further than that. Humans have given up on roosters too, and Egg-curio still stands up there crowing in a voice that doesn’t resonate with the community. “I will be different. I will be squawking for less roosters. “The issue is that with grime out of control, we have humans that can’t see the point of cleaning the coop only to have it dirtied up again. “If we want prosperity, we need claw-and-order. Get the grime back under control, and we’ll get cleanliness back. I’ve had nearly two chooks tell me they want 24-hour laying-stations, and I will make sure that happens.” . Margot Ransom, Tyabb

Leave it as Tanti

The letter from Max Garrard (“Real community”, Letters, 20/10/26), describing his admiration for the Tanti Park Housing Commission estate in Mornington is valid. There is a pleasant ambience around the place. Perhaps it’s the homogeneous nature of the people where nobody is better than the next fellow; or is it the pleasing layout of the estate with wide streets and footpaths both sides, house blocks of 500 or 600sqm, with a good backyard. Buying this house was a modest price for a modest house, not particularly cheap but interest fixed at 5.5% for 30 or 45 years. I never paid a single dollar to a bank, lawyer, estate agent, insurance company. We had a loan from the government and we repaid the government. All legals, insurance, etc., was organised by the Commission. “You are eligible – here are the keys”. A home is essential for all young couples, a solid base for family life. Best of all, your wife was not forced to work. But there is a bad flaw in Max’s letter. He reckons that Tanti is now called Mornington Park. It is not! Mornington Park is down by the pier. Nobody has ever asked me, a resident of 50 years, if I want a name change. The Tanti name has character and historical significance. Leave it. Some estate agents and others have been trying for years to change the name in order to offset the old stigma that Tanti once had. These people don’t even live here. How utterly stupid to want to call it Mornington Park when such a named place already exists a few kilometres away. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Twentieth anniversary

A huge “well done” to the president, committee, manager, staff and the wonderful volunteers, at the Bentons Square Community Centre - on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Bentons Square Community Centre on Thursday, October 22. The Bentons Square Community Centre goes from strength to strength in providing both a facility and the many and varied programmes for the local community. Thanks are due in no small way to the driving force and foresight of ex-mayor/councillor Anne Shaw some 20 years ago. Ongoing council backing has been essential and invaluable. Anne, along with local MP Chris Crewther, attended the anniversary, and were able to observe “first hand” the reasons for the welcoming environment at the centre. A committed president guiding a community minded committee, plus a manager in the true

sense of the word, who adds to these management skills by providing a welcoming and happy place for the wonderful volunteers and attendees to a programme, or maybe just drop-in for a chat. There are, of course, the supporters/partners of those mentioned who also contribute to the success of the centre. A personal thank you to all responsible seems most inadequate and very humbling, but “thank you” and well done on 20 years of well-deserved anniversary celebration. Roy and Helen Francis, Mornington

Random act of kindness

To the lovely soul who placed two (carefully wrapped) perfect yellow roses under my windscreen wiper at Centro car park Mornington on Wednesday afternoon 21/10, thank you ! You not only made my day, but your kind gesture has had the flow on effect, like the ripples on a pond. I hope someone makes you feel as special as you did me ! Anna Froelich, Mornington

Civil discourse... and Cliff

I am alarmed at the violent attack on Helen Haines. I am dismayed that Australia has gone so far down the populist path resulting in personal attacks on politicians that have been truly horrible, and they’ve gone well beyond freedom of speech. There’s a big difference between robust debate and cruel attacks on a person’s health or beliefs. The last federal election saw a change in how people behaved at polling booths which was scary. I used to enjoy polling day and the democracy sausage but now we need a security presence to keep us all safe. Social media uses political algorithms that use sensational, emotional and divisive content over factual reporting which encourages people to think and act in a certain way and that has resulted in angry, ill-informed people. In the last federal election Ben Smith’s posters were defaced and nasty words written across his face. He was just a man who wanted to represent his community, not the Devil as he was portrayed. Most people don’t feel like hurting/killing our politicians but there are unhinged people who believe all the nasty words and conspiracy theories and feel the need to harm or eliminate that person. Politicians are just people who believe that they can do a good job of representing their community and, we, the constituents can vote for who we think will represent us best. Most people vote for who they think can best represent them and their family. So we all go and vote and the party/independent with the most votes will win. Whoever wins will, hopefully, try to do what they believe is best for all. If we’re not happy with them, then we can vote them out at the next election. Politicians are people and to dehumanise them is to go down the path of Trumpism which is not democratic. And where is Cliff Ellen, AKA Barley Charlie? I hope you’re okay, Cliff, I enjoy your letters - even though you barrack for the wrong team! Nerida Miller, Mt Martha

Editor’s note: Due to the foibles of technology, no letter arrived in our inbox last week, despite Cliff sending one. You’ll be please to know he is back this week!

Who’s Clive?

Hey Clive (BarleyCharley@90.5, Letters, 15/10/26), you seem to have spent some time writing stuff, but I’m sorry, man, I am having trouble understanding what you mean: “the road to wisdom. riddled with pot holes?”, “Zombies (sheep) or control the difference for now, answer: Very Little”, “Is there a Big Brother lurking in Bendigo Bank?”, “AFL Football playing for Cricket Australia”, “Princess Pauline’s diatribes”, “Woolworths really really home insurance????” Hey Man, what are you on???? Dr. N. D. Hallam, Flinders

Barley Charley @ 90+

Bye bye my 91st October, sooner the better. Am I as bright (are U as bright) as you think you are, bank balance not withstanding? Politicians almost all; not to tell their right pocket what their left is thinking. Kindly do not get me started on our politician about “nothing” namely Angus Taylor, attacking our little mate Albo on national security. As a leftie union man Albo had his moments; no Billy Shorten obviously, but intentions nevertheless, which is more than we can say for Taylor, ditto Princess Pauline. All three are rolling in hefty bank balances, recalling an old philosophy of my thinking - the bigger the bank balance the more the holder assumes superiority? Some of my intelligent buddies (90% Liberal voters) at the local RSL never discuss politics. Apparently, there’s a sound reason, yet to discover UNLESS Livius Patavinus, BC; “He had a mind so equally versatile for all things that whatever he was doing, you would say he was born for that one thing alone.” And in Albo’s crowd - “What we’re witnessing is nothing more than a shock and awe lobbying approach by US tech, designed to swamp government decision-making.” Shouldn’t say this; I don’t miss Robert G Menzies but I miss Greg Hunt? The darling schoolies here in downtown (upmarket?) Rye, back to school, reminding myself, safely, to put my rubbish bins out. An election in Victoria, those piercing eyes, Jess Wilson, state budget, community safety/ police, bail laws; promises, promises. Young Jess likely to succeed, promises to the backline (historical) in favour of more attacks; previously hidden Labor faults? Watching television daytime surely for lonely people, and/or nutters, assuming no medical reasons. I thank God, assuming he/she is the reason, for my imaginary friend Barley Charley. Ditto to my intellectual friends, pretenders mostly, but keeping moire toes UP. And to overseas, killings continue, Australia shielded from it all, but for how long, not so far off (seemingly?) from WW3? NO? Okay, old age but praying. Finally, the song - “You can’t always get what you want, but you can try.” Just saying... Cliff Ellen, Rye

Where’s Barley Charlie?

For what feels like forever, the bottom righthand corner has featured the familiar contribution from BarleyCharlie@90.5, who has become something of an institution. His letters often wander down unexpected paths, leave readers scratching their heads, and rarely follow the neat, orderly route most of us would take. Yet that has always been part of their charm. In a world where so much writing sounds the same, BarleyCharlie has steadfastly remained BarleyCharlie. Whether you agreed with him, fully understood him, or found yourself rereading a paragraph twice just to work out where he was headed, his weekly presence became as dependable as the page itself. So this week, with that familiar spot filled by someone else’s letter, one can’t help but wonder: where’s BarleyCharlie? I hope all is well and that his distinctive voice will soon return to its rightful place in the bottom right-hand corner. After all, some traditions are worth keeping.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Seaford mystery - Mr Mealmaker missing Compiled by Cameron McCullough Quite a gloom has pervaded Seaford during the last few days, caused by the disappearance of Mr. Mealmaker, a well-known visitor to the township. Mr. Mealmaker has spent practically every weekend at Seaford for some time past, and sometimes stayed for extended periods with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who reside in the township. On Tuesday morning he set out in the best of spirits for a bathe in the surf. Mr. Jones’ dog accompanied him. Some visitors from Melbourne, noticing his clothes on the sand, and seeing no sign of a bather, became uneasy and an alarm was raised. This was about midday on Tuesday, and up to the present no trace can be found of the unfortunate bather. The case presents some peculiar points which are causing a good deal of discussion. The visitors who first noticed the clothes on the beach could find no trace of foot-prints on the sand between the clothes and the beach. This led to the belief that he had been taken ill or for some other reason had turned into the thick ti-tree which lines the shore. A search in this direction, however, revealed nothing. Mrs. Jones, who refuses to believe the worst, contends that a sudden lapse of memory, or some such unexplainable event, caused him to turn away from the water and wander away. This is not, of course, feasible, as it would be practically impossible for anyone to leave the beach and cross the road anywhere in the locality without being seen, especially as he was

attired only in his bathing costume. Mr. Jones, when interviewed, was not so optimistic. He pointed out that the dog, which still mounted guard over the clothes until they were removed, would assuredly have followed him had he turned from the beach. On Wednesday, the Carrum and Frankston police patrolled the beach from Carrum to Frankston, but no trace of the body was found. This in itself is remarkable, as the missing man was an indifferent swimmer, and if he was drowned the tragedy must have occurred close inshore, and as there was a fairly heavy sea running at the time it is more than probable that the body would come ashore at once. There have been very few drowning fatalities along this beach, which is regarded as a remarkably safe one for bathers, and in the few cases where drowning has occurred the bodies have been recovered. With the strong winds which have prevailed during the week, it seems impossible that a body would be carried out by tide or current. The police and residents are keeping a sharp watch on the beach, and it is hoped that the seeming mystery will be cleared up in a day or two. *** Accident to student A painful accident befell John Nicholls, son of Mr. Nicholls, headmaster of Pearcedale State school, whilst competing in the High school sports on Wednesday. Master Nicholls, when running in the relay race by some means

wrenched the muscles of his thigh. Dr. C. Maxwell who attended him, was unable to definitely define the trouble, but is of the opinion that the muscle has been torn from the thigh bone and that a small portion of the bone has come away with it. An X-ray examination is to be made to determine the extent and nature of the injury. Master Nicholls is at present at the home of Mr. Bishop, headmaster of the local high school. *** Wake Up Frankston! Boosters’ Club Formed The meeting called for Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a Boosters’ Club was well attended. Enthusiasm was the keynote of the proceedings, and within a few minutes of opening the meeting a motion to the effect that a Boosters’ Club be formed had been submitted and carried, the membership fee fixed at 2/6 per annum, and close on twenty members enrolled. On the motion of Cr. Pratt and Mr. Marshall, Mr. Rogan was, elected president. The election, of officers then proceeded and resulted as follow: Vice-president, Cr. J. L. Pratt; secretary, Mr. C. Parnell; treasurer, Mr. C. Meredith. The president, Mr. Rogan, who has just returned from a tour of Western America was the prime mover in instituting the formation of the club. Wherever Mr. Rogan travelled he took note of the American methods of advertising their centres, and collected some 200 folders and booklets issued by the various towns.

Many of these folders were handed around and excited considerable interest. Mr. Rogan pointed out that many of the American towns where big things had been accomplished, had not anything like the natural advantages which Frankston possesses. In support of the impressions he had gained in his travels, Mr. Rogan read a clipping from the “Herald” which gave the opinions of a recent visitor to Australia. The visitor had said that Australia needs more boost. He had previously known practically nothing of our country and it was only through having been ordered a long sea voyage that he had come to Australia. He was surprised at our splendid tourist attractions. California had placed itself on the map through advertising, and yet we, who had the same or even better facilities for all-the-year-round tourist attractions did little or nothing to let the world know about them. The object of the new club is to advertise Frankston throughout the length and breadth of the state, and further afield if possible. This can be done, and the club intends to do it. There is no doubt that the money expended in advertising our township will come back to us threefold if we will only resolve to carry the thing through. A suggestion was made that the various associations at present operating on similar lines should be merged into one big organisation. Mr. Jewell said that there was a possibility of lukewarm support to the

club, owing to too many associations for the betterment of the town, being formed. Mr. Pope supported this view. He said that there were so many meetings to attend that it was impossible to keep in touch with them all. In addition to this, there was a good deal of overlapping in the objects of the associations. Naturally, very little concrete business could be done on the first night, and most of the evening was devoted to the receiving and recording of suggestions which can be worked upon at the next meeting. *** Personal The many friends of Mrs. J. Nott Marsh will be pleased to learn that she is recovering from her recent serious operation, and is leaving the Women’s Hospital this week, although she will not return home for some little time. Constable Addison, who was formerly stationed at Frankston, has received notice of his transfer from Myrtleford to Belgrave. Mr. and Mrs. P. Wheeler, who have been absent for some time on a trip to England, returned to Melbourne on the s.s. “Themistocles” on Wednesday. Mrs. J. D. Jennings is expected to return to Frankston in the early part of next week. Mrs. Jennings has been absent in England for nearly three years, and will no doubt notice a marked change in the township on her return. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 29 October 1926
