Young leaders camp out SECONDARY students from Dromana, Rosebud, Mornington, Mt Eliza and Western Port, participated a three-day youth leadership camp at The Portsea Camp, in late June. The camp – for 32 Year 10 students – was organised by the Mornington Peninsula Partnership Forum, made up of the eight Bendigo and Community Bank branches on the peninsula, and Mornington Peninsula Shire. The forum aims to bring together possible sources of funding for strategic projects on the peninsula. “As this was the first camp, there was a great sense of anticipation and excitement about its potential to provide real opportunities for those attending,� Bendigo Bank branch manager Kerry DeberHand signals: Jaia, Sophie, Morgan, Emily, Shontail, and Lily create a group art work during a youth leadership camp held by the Mornington Peninsula Partnership Forum.

nardi said. Organisers hope the camp will become an annual event. Young people were encouraged to develop skills to engage with their communities and to become young leaders. The shire’s youth services team devised the activities program which focussed on cultivating and developing leadership skills, community connectedness and social engagement. Mt Eliza Secondary School Year 12 student Tia McLean –Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Young Citizen of the Year – and Padua Mornington School captain Liam Kelly – winner of the Peninsula Short Film Fest two years in a row – spoke to students about their accomplishments and ambitions. “Having Liam make the documentary [about the camp] is another opportunity for us to support a talented young person and fits very well into the whole ethos of this project,� Mr Debernardi said.

Car thefts on the rise Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CAR thefts on the Mornington Peninsula shot up to 356 in the year to March – compared with 265 last year and 290 in 2014. At the same time there were 318 reports of malicious damage to cars on the peninsula – up from 260 last year and 244 in 2014. Despite this increase, claims by RACV insurance policy holders on the peninsula for stolen cars have dropped over the past year, according to acting general manager Insurance Mark Geraghty. The insurance provider said it had received 10 claims for stolen cars and

20 claims for deliberately damaged vehicles. Mr Geraghty said the figures “represent a welcome decline in car thefts�. However, figures from the Crime Statistics Agency on Thursday show car thefts have jumped 30 per cent. Victoria Police recorded 18,853 vehicle thefts across the state in 2015 – 13.5 per cent higher than the previous year. Thefts from motor vehicles also jumped to an average of more than 150 a day, with 89 per cent of those offences not being solved, according to a Crime Statistics Agency news release in March. Mr Geraghty said the data highlighted the need for motorists to take steps

to protect their cars. “Don’t underestimate a thief’s determination,� he said. “More than five per cent of RACV vehicle theft claims last year involved the thief stealing car keys from inside a house before taking the vehicle. “Don’t leave your car keys in plain view – even inside your own home.� Mr Geraghty said that keys were sometimes left in the car’s ignition or elsewhere in a car in a locked garage, making it easy for a thief who has broken into the garage. The cost of vehicle damage caused by vandals and thieves also rose last year. The average RACV claim increased to more than $3000 and more than $3 million was paid to cover

noon and vehicle vandals are mostly active during daylight. However, they can strike at any time and motorists should identify safe places to park at all times. “If you have to park on the street, do so in a well-lit, busy location. It’s important that you take your valuables and accessories with you, make sure your windows are up and lock the vehicle.� Mr Geraghty said that with the average car theft claim costing more than $12,000 and malicious damage costs escalating, motorists should ensure they have the right insurance cover to avoid costs. Frankston was rated 10th among RACV car theft insurance claim areas, with 31 claims.

Mr Geraghty said most malicious damage resulted from vandals breaking into vehicles, smashing windows, keying or scratching and denting bonnets and car roofs. “Car thieves favour the Nissan Skyline3, but the vehicle most frequently targeted by vandals was the Mazda CX-7,� Mr Geraghty said, using figures based on the number of RACV insurance policies on each model, compared to the number of insurance claims for theft. “Many people wrongly assume night is the danger time for damage to be inflicted and for cars to be stolen, but RACV claims data shows that car thieves are most active between 6am-

Beach ramp over final financial hurdle THE final financial steps are in place for a viewing platform and beach access ramp to be built overlooking the beach at Point Leo. A project of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch, the platform will be at the end of a boardwalk running from the lifesaving club to the beach. The six metre square viewing deck will be open to the public and also provide lifesavers with uninterrupted views along the beach. Steps and a wheelchair access ramp will run from the deck to the sand, making Point Leo the first surf beach on the peninsula to have all abilities access. Plans for the boardwalk and viewing platform have been lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire and the DSAMP hopes it will be built by mid2017. The $80-90,000 for the boardwalk, viewing deck and beach access has come from the DSAMP, Point Leo Foreshore Committee, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Australian Government (Stronger Community grant) and Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club. John Bowers, who has been co-ordinating the project for the DSAMP, said it would bring “significant benefits” to

all beach users. “Further access to the beach from the platform will be available using our free loan purpose built Sand Cruiser wheelchairs,” he said. “The viewing platform will provide lifesavers with a full unimpeded view of the beach as well as providing a marshalling platform for wheelchair participants to view the activities on DSAMP event days. “From there, wheelchair bound surfing participants will enjoy watching the beach activities while waiting for their turn to surf instead of waiting at the lifesaving club where there is no beach view." Mr Bowers said 21 per cent of people on the Mornington Peninsula were over 65, well above the 2011 state average of 14.2 per cent. “The Frankston-Mornington Peninsula catchment has one of the highest proportions of older people in Australia,” he said. “Using the Australia wide established figure of 19 per cent of our population living with a disability, it would be expected that out of the peninsula’s 125,000 residents there are about 23,750 with a disability.” Keith Platt

The all abilities access ramp and boardwalk will make it easier for wheelchairs to be taken to the beach at Point Leo.

Cheers as developments knocked back Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au INVESTORS snapping up prime Mornington Peninsula land for apartments and townhouses are facing opposition from a council divided over development amid claims of electioneering. After lengthy debate at the Monday 11 July council meeting, councillors voted to overturn officer recommendations to support proposals for 14 townhouses in Bentons Rd, Mt Martha, and two separate applications for six twostorey townhouses and 14 townhouses, both in Green Island Av, Mt Martha. Residents applauded as Briars Ward councillors told the meeting they had a duty to protect the neighbourhood character of the peninsula's towns. However, their celebrations might be premature, with council officers admitting the shire had limited control over “infill” developments – those near major shopping hubs - because of major holes in the planning statement.

David Bergin, executive manager planning services, said little could be done to protect neighbourhood character because there were “gaps” in the planning policy and ambiguity over what characters were to be protected. Three proposed developments were already listed for hearings by the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) after the shire failed to make a determination in the required time. Deputy mayor and Briars Ward councillor Bev Colomb told the meeting that the peninsula was “not metro Melbourne” and that the development at 104 Bentons Rd, Mt Martha, was not in line with the shire's planning statement. While she said her intention was not to decrease the density of development, her comment that the area was already at “saturation point” was met with cheers and clapping from the chamber. “Do we have to suck it up and take anything?” Cr Colomb said. Cr Andrew Dixon said the shire's lack of strong policy on neighbour-

hood character and in-fill development had “left residents wanting”. But Seawinds Ward councillor David Gibb raised the spectre of mounting VCAT costs and suggested that the state government would not let the shire “trump” the state planning scheme, which encouraged mediumdensity housing. Mt Martha had the “most abundance” of open space and the development, which was close to shops and transport, was appropriate. “We are trying to get people out of cars,” Cr Gibb said. The motion to oppose the development was passed 6:4, with councillors Anne Shaw, Dixon, Colomb, David Garnock, Antonella Celi and Graham Pittock for the motion and Crs Tim Wood, Tim Rodgers, Huch Fraser and Gibb against. After the meeting, Cr Fraser said “electioneering” had skewed the debate. He said there was a lot of work needed to preserve the “tapestry” of available urban land on the peninsula.

“Our planning officers work very hard and capably to produce reasonable solutions for our urban areas, which can be supported on review at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Unfortunately, all I heard at last Monday's meeting was the loud noise of electioneering." Councillors were also divided over an application for six two-storey townhouses at 15-17 Green Island Av, Mt Martha, with Cr Fraser questioning Mr Bergin on his views of success at VCAT, and Cr Wood taking offence at Mr Bergin's reply that VCAT was “a lottery”. Mr Bergin apologised for his comments. The alternate recommendation not to support the officer’s recommendation was moved by Cr Anne Shaw and seconded by Cr Andrew Dixon. A further application for 16 townhouses at 25 Green Island Av, Mt Martha, had attracted 16 submissions and concerns over car parking problems, insufficient landscaping, and the impact on the “character of the township”.

The officer's recommendation to support the application at VCAT was overturned after Cr Shaw moved an alternate recommendation. After the meeting, Mr Bergin said the Victorian planning system was working the way it was intended to, allowing both applicants and objectors the opportunity to go to VCAT. He said 81 appeals that resulted from decisions by Mornington Peninsula Shire had gone to VCAT out of 2383 applications for the 2015/16 financial year. “It is considered that both councillors and officers want the best planning outcome for the Mornington Peninsula Shire,” Mr Bergin said. After the meeting, Cr Colomb said a decision was made due to the need to “put a check on over development”. “There are many examples of good developments that don’t push the boundaries and offer lots of benefits including landscaping, open space and privacy.”

Final figures in for shire Paris trip TWO Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors who attended a United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris late last year have fulfilled their requirements to report on the trip and itemise their expenses. Councillors Hugh Fraser and the mayor Graeme Pittock spent 10 days in Paris and attended several other sessions, including the climate summit for local leaders and seminars on renewable energy, smart cities, waste, urban agriculture, low carbon development and water and climate finance. At the Monday 11 July council meeting, Cr Pittock said it was worth noting that there had been no conference fees, no public transport costs, and that many things on the trip had been largely “gratis”. The itemised expenses, which included $2976 each on accommodation and $2400 each on airfares, came to $6769.60 for Cr Pittock, while Cr Fraser's came to $6225.99. The amounts have been attributed to the councillors' conferences and seminars account. The shire’s renewable resources team leader, Jessica Wingad, also attended. The councillors provided a public presentation in the council chambers at Rosebud on 12 December and provided conference material and a summary of their experience. The pair's attendance saw the shire invited to commit to a Compact of Mayors – a global coalition of mayors and city officials committed to reducing greenhouse gas emission and other efforts to reduce climate change. A report by mayor and councillor support officer Tracie Cook noted that by providing an itemised list of expenditure, the pair had fully complied with requirements of a council directive on 23 November last year that they provide “a fully itemised expenditure report” after their trip.

Whales are breaking records WHALE watchers are recording the “busiest season on record” as sightings pour in from Western Port and Port Phillip. “The 2016 whale season has turned into a record breaker around our bays. We’ve just had our busiest weekend of sightings ever,” said Dolphin Research Institute, research officer David Donnelly said on Wednesday. “Winter in our bays and surrounding coastal waters has become something of a busy time for keen whale watchers. Large whales are now so regular in our waters that sightings have become an expectation rather than a novelty.” Mr Donnelly said although “hunted to the edge of extinction during the industrial whaling era, humpback and southern right whales are making a comeback, though the latter still

has a long way to go” He said the east coast population of humpback whales is expected to reach 26,000 animals this season “which is close to the estimated pre-whaling numbers”. “The news is not so great for the slow to reproduce southern right whale, with their southeast Australian numbers estimated to be between just 224 and 251 individuals.” Mr Donnelly said up to 16 whales were sighted in the preceding weekend, bringing the number to 56 since 16 June 16. This time last year there had been 33 validated sightings. “Whether this is a case of more whales, more people looking or a bit of both is yet to be determined but one thing’s for sure, whales never fail to attract the attention of the public,” he said.

Mr Donnelly said reports had also been made of vessels approaching too close to migrating whales. State whale watching regulations limit boats to being no closer than 200 metres. Jet skis and other smaller craft were limited to 300 metres. The Two Bays Whale Project is a citizen science project being run by the Dolphin Research Institute and Wildlife Coast Cruises for the public to report whale sightings and contribute images to a centralised database. The data is used to compare sighting rates, monitor changes in behaviour and give an overall understanding of trends in numbers of visiting animals.

Shire seeks second opinion Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A PLAN to sell a section of tree reserve to the owner of an adjoining property for $83,000 has been knocked back by Mornington Peninsula Shire after claims it was “under valued” by more than $200,000. The 275 square metre strip of land at 2A Langford Rd, Sorrento, was transferred to council ownership in 1978 from VicRoads (then the Country Roads Board) as part of a subdivision of the surrounding land. But recent plans to remove the tree reserve status and sell the land to its neighbour for $77,000 plus costs have failed, after councillors voted to seek a valuation of the combined properties and renegotiate the price. The proposal, which was advertised in May, had raised the ire of Nepean Ratepayers Association, which objected to the land not being for sale “on the open market”. The association's submission suggested the land should be sold for a minimum of $291,083, or be kept as a land reserve for another 38 years.

Cr Hugh Fraser said “face value” suggested the land was undervalued, and that a pre and post sale valuation should be done of the property at 2 Langford Rd, with the higher price determining the price of the tree reserve. But Cr Antonelli Celi said it “was a no brainer” that the entire parcel would be worth more when the two allotments were joined, but that changing the price now was an injustice to the landowner. “When did we become estate agents,” she said. A council officer's report noted that the valuation was carried out by a certified valuer and reflected the value given “relevant circumstances”. The heavily vegetated 49-metre strip runs beside the block at 2 Langford Rd, and effectively creates a buffer between that property and a wider tree reserve abutting Point Nepean Rd. There is no road access from Point Nepean Rd. The council report noted that any plans to create an access point from Point Nepean Rd would be subject to VicRoads approval and arterial road access restrictions. The amended recommendation was to seek another valuation of the combined parcels of land, and bring the matter back to council.

Holiday fun turns to fright HEARING of children being frightened by masked youths banging on walls and peering through windows at a Rye children’s holiday camp struck a chord with Southern Metro Region police inspector Karen Nyholm. “I’ve got kids myself,” she said. “I heard the kids were frightened and I understand and appreciate the concerns of the carers. “I know I’d hate to see my kids frightened.” Worried carers at the Camp Australia program at Rye Primary School mid-month reportedly placed crying children under tables to comfort them during the incident before calling 000. Some mothers are said to have criticised po-

lice for taking 45 minutes to attend the camp, but other police jobs are said to have had priority, including attending to a suicidal man and processing an offender. “It certainly is a police matter and I have no problem with the carers calling us,” said Inspector Nyholm, who arranged for officers to attend the camp next day to explain the hold up. “We still don’t have an actual crime even though there was a suggestion of danger,” she said. “There was no actual break-in but, of course, the carers didn’t know that and they did the right thing.”

Have a heart: Associate Professor Jamie Layland is one of few doctors to have inserted an absorbable heart stent into a patient.

Heart stent a world first AN absorbable heart stent was inserted in a Peninsula Health patient. This breakthrough for the health service was achieved by Associate Professor Jamie Layland, one of a few cardiologists in the world who has inserted this new absorbable stent. He and fellow cardiologist Robert Lew, also of Peninsula Health, are part of a worldwide team investigating the use of absorbable stents in patients with heart disease. A stent is a small mesh tube used to treat narrow arteries in the heart. Traditionally, a metalbased stent is placed in an artery of patients undergoing a coronary angioplasty – a procedure which opens blocked arteries and restores normal blood flow to the heart. “The absorbable stent is similar to the traditional version, but it has the benefit of dissolving

after the device has served its purpose,” Prof Layland said. "This is a revolutionary advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease. "The absorbable stent will open an arterial blockage just like a metallic stent, but then it dissolves over time, allowing the artery to return to a more natural state.” The radical new stent dissolves in around two years – compared with traditional metal stents which remain in a patient’s body for life. The stent is made of a degradable material which is designed to stay intact before breaking down over the years. Coronary artery disease is a major health concern with absorbable stents expected to benefit many patients in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

MORNINGTON Peninsula detectives have released CCTV images of four men they would like to talk to over the tobacco store robbery at Rosebud Plaza, early Wednesday 6 July. The men are alleged to have made off with $20,000 in cigarettes and tobacco products in a stolen gold or silver BMW, with stolen registration plates TNV 409. The men arrived at the McCombe St shopping centre at 3.15am, with the four getting out of the car and a fifth man remaining in the driver’s seat. They smashed a hole in a door using a crowbar and then used a concrete saw to cut the lock on a sliding glass door. Once inside they forced their way through a roller door into the tobacco store and filled a doona cover with cigarettes. The car was last seen near Greens Rd, Dandenong. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A DRIVER intercepted by police Saturday night 9 July had such high blood alcohol readings that her drivers’ licence was immediately suspended. Rosebud police stepped up their patrols in Dromana area after being warned of an erratic driver about 8pm. They intercepted the woman as she allegedly attempted to drive out of a shopping centre car park and onto Point Nepean Rd. The 47-year-old Safety Beach woman was taken back to the station where she returned a breath-test reading of 0.320 per cent.

Images of men police wish to speak to over the Rosebud Plaza robberies.

Her licence was suspended and her car was impounded. She is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving.

Robbery charges SOUTHERN Metropolitan Region Crime Team Investigators have charged an 18-year-old Langwarrin man following two aggravated burglaries and a burglary in Rosebud in which a Kia car was stolen. They occurred at houses in Eighth Av and Tarwarri Av, 8 July. Police arrested the man at 7.40am Wednesday. He was charged with numerous offences, including aggravated burglary, intentionally causing

injury, assault, theft and burglary. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on a later date. The Kia was recovered at Langwarrin Football Club the following day. Sergeant Anthoula Moutis, of the media unit, said the police has escalated their responses to aggravated burglaries and carjackings across the state. At the start of May, under Operation Cosmas, police were given more resources to prevent, deter and investigate aggravated burglaries and carjackings. Day and night patrols are being conducted in high risk areas to prevent offences taking place. Since the operation began there have been more than 75 arrests.

Salon cuts for a cause SILK Hair and Beauty Spa will be doing their part to help cut the chains of slavery on “Style For Life” day on 31st July. The Mount Martha salon will be donating all the proceeds from the day’s trading to the cause, and joining hundreds of other salons around the country. “This is a wonderful event, and we are thrilled to be involved”, said salon owner Leanne Barnes. “We are hoping for a really busy day, with as many customers as we can sit in chairs, with 100 percent of the proceeds from the day donated to not-for profit organisation Hagar. “We’ll also have the Men’s Den operating on the day, so the guys can get in for a cut or a shave for a great cause.” Hagar patron, award-winning actor and director Rachel Griffiths said “The United Nations estimates that over two million people will be sold into slavery every year”. “By taking part in Style For Life day Austral-

ians can truly transform the lives of women and young people in our nearby countries like Cambodia, Vietnam and Afghanistan. “Every dollar from your service will provide survivors with a skill like hairdressing, giving them economic power and freedom to build themselves up from slavery,” said Grifiths.

Wild waves batter re-built pier STORM damage has forced the closure of a section of Mornington’s newly restored pier. East Port Phillip and Western Port area chief ranger Reece Taranto said nine concete wave screen panels and handrails facing the bay were dislodged during last Tuesday’s storms. The outer section of the pier is closed, but the public can still access the inner section, including the lower landing, as these areas were not damaged. “Once the pier has been properly assessed, we will reopen the areas that are safe to use,” Mr Taranto said. “Until the project engineers have had a chance to assess the damage and determine the best approach to repairs, it will be difficult to put a timeframe on when repairs will be completed.”

Are we getting the councillors we deserve? As we approach this October’s local government elections it is appropriate to assess our locally elected councillors on their performances over the past four years. Having attended many unproductive Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (MPSC) meetings I have formed the following view on what makes for a “good councillor�. Representation – do your councillors try their best on your behalf or just go through the motions? Conscientious – do your councillors listen to you and bother to investigate your concerns? Courage – do your councillors stand up and vote on your behalf, despite pressures from other councillors? Effectiveness – do your councillors properly question officers and ensure all the facts are available before voting? Integrity – do your councillors practise open decision making or hide behind the committee system? Do they allow officers to misuse Freedom of Information and other transparency requirements? I haven’t mentioned policies because the obvious MPSC voting blocks make a mockery of all election pledges or policy statements. If you want to know about your local ward councillor a study of their voting patterns is essential. Much, however, is dealt with in committee and divisions are seldom called, so your councillors mainly escape scrutiny. We are left not knowing what they stand for on most issues of importance to us. As residents and ratepayers do we deserve officer-driven user pays special charge schemes, unusually large development proposals in our smaller towns and villages, councillor’s overseas trips and overspending of set allowances on personal matters? Your vote for new councillors in October would be a good start in cleaning up what I regard as a poorly performing council. David Gill, Balnarring

Sea wall concerns Autumn saw up to 30 black swans to Sorrento, feeding on the rich sea grass meadow adjacent to the picturesque seawall. Pelicans also came to these sheltered waters along with gulls, cormorants, terns, gannets and waders, as well as fish. They depend on this sea grass nursery. Tourists can be seen photographing and observing the wildlife. It is critical that this valuable asset is not taken for granted. Hence, the determination by the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) to replace the historic wooden Sorrento sea wall with a stepped concrete structure, rather than replace it with timber or our attractive local granite, is of serious concern. The design of the stepped structure will invite people to access the beach at the intertidal zone. Walking on the dry sea grass at low tide and

The Sorrento sea wall and sea grass meadows which form part of the food chain for birds and marine life.

foraging of protected shellfish will destroy the ecology. This area is unsuitable for swimming. There are many sandy beaches nearby where the public can swim and paddle. The design of the narrow stairs also poses a risk to public safety. DELWP reports indicate a nine per cent permanent loss of sea grass due to the stepped seawall. This is three and a half metres along the length of the structure. Seven metres will initially be removed during the construction phase. Some of this will regrow with time. Mornington Peninsula Shire is responsible for the associated landscape works which are part of the overall Sorrento foreshore management plan. A landscape consultant has already been appointed. However, it is critical the community is widely consulted and decisions reflect its aspirations. It is most curious why a visually dominant part of the foreshore (the sea wall) would be decided before the start of public consultation on the Sorrento foreshore precinct. Julie Corridon, Sorrento

Right of reply John Cain of McCrae is a regular contributor and his last couple of letters warrant a response. He sees fit to denigrate conservative leaders from Menzies to Turnbull, while roundly applauding their Labor counterparts and Labor accomplishments. He accuses the conservatives of xenophobia, interference with our national health system, invading foreign nations and various other nefarious activities. He further accuses Malcolm Turnbull of planning to dismantle our Medicare system despite zero, repeat zero, supportive evidence. Where are the angry press releases? Where are the statements from the outraged medical profession? There is nothing to substantiate these misleading and untrue claims. He further suggests that multi-millionaires such as Turnbull are not to be trusted. Does his view also extend to Kevin Rudd and others in the Labor ranks that fall into that category? He also makes a spurious claim in regard to the CFA issue that there are not many Labor supporters in volunteer ranks. How could he ever arrive at that conclusion? His letters are, by and large, no more than socialist rants, devoid of fairness or substance. Apparently Mr Cain’s views are arrived at after bouts of self-confessed “navel gazing�. A practice he would be well advised to reconsider, as it obviously leads to biased left wing commentary. Those of us with a more balanced outlook might even agree with his statements about Whitlam’s Medicare initiative and certain reforms undertaken during the Hawke/Keating era. What he fails to acknowledge is the undeniable fact of basic left wing mismanagement. Six chaotic years of Rudd/Gillard/Rudd Labor is

still fresh in our minds and a Labor government would be a step back in time to a place very few of us would want to return. It appears that the electorate has followed Mr Cain’s advice and indeed used their votes wisely. Neville Congress, Rosebud

Answers for all I wish to express my concern and frustration at the handling of questions during public question time at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meetings. I attended the meeting of 14 June where three questions regarding the Somers footpath network special charge scheme were answered by the chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Eight other questions were then censored, not read out, modified and later included in the meeting’s minutes. It would seem that some questions were in fact replied to in writing by council officers, but they apparently have not been made available to councillors or to the residents and general public in the gallery at the meeting. As an agenda Item surely council, when asking for public questions, should ensure the responses are open and transparent. I was present again at the 11 July meeting where all 15 questions regarding the Somers footpath scheme were again not read out. Thankfully, Cr Bev Colomb requested they be

included in the minutes. I fully realise the matter is subject to a potential VCAT hearing but some questions were very general and simply required a yes or no answer - hardly something that could influence or jeopardise a VCAT outcome. I am concerned that council officers seem to be able to decide which questions (if any) can be asked and which cannot. Are they trying to sweep something under the carpet keeping both councillors and residents in the dark? Andrew Satchwell, Somers

Noise not new The news that Nepean MP Martin Dixon recently spoke at a meeting of Safety Beach and Dromana residents for quieter freeways made me laugh out loud (“Residents clamour for freeway quiet�, The News 5/7/16). Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t Mr Dixon first voted in as the state member for Dromana in 1996 and then re-elected for Nepean in subsequent years? Has it seriously taken 20 years for our state MP to start effectively agitating about the lack of noise reducing measures on the Mornington Peninsula freeway? Sorry, but that is just inexcusable Mr Dixon. If you hadn’t already noticed that particular road cuts through the middle of Dromana, McCrae and part of Rosebud and is bordered by houses all the way on each side and not a sound proof

fence in sight. Yet another example of our state and federal politicians making little or no effort representing community concerns in their safe Liberal seat. The lack of noise abatement sound walls from Safety Beach to Rosebud should have been addressed years ago, even before Peninsula Link was constructed. Expecting some results on this issue Mr Dixon, you have had long enough. Kathryn Downs, Dromana

We need unions As the former US President Teddy Rooseveldt said “It is essential that there should be organisation of labour. This is an era of organisation of capital organisation and therefore labour must organise”. So in Australia we have the organisation of labour (ACTU) and the other union, organisation of capital. Another US president, Woodrow Wilson, said “if there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the USA, they are going to own it”. So from where I am standing I say bring on the workers’ union power because Australia would never ever have had the current safety net and services that hold us together as a civil society if it had been up to the corporate unions. Our wages (no real wages growth for three years) and conditions are under threat (mantra: cut the red tape) and services eroded under guise of economic reform. Who is at the table to discuss economic reform? Not the workers’ union but the corporate union and they are set on reforming wages and conditions, or what else they see as unsustainable. The biggest scare campaign of all - “Australia’s credit rating under threat, we must economically reform” - is going to make the carbon price scare campaign look like a Sunday school outing. All our hard fought gains in services and wages and conditions under the gun. Evelyn Taylor, Tootgarook

Car shock to come If Malcolm Turnbull had been the leader of a minority government it would have been the least of his worries come 2017 when the big three car manufacturers close up shop, putting thousands out of work. Many will struggle to find well paying jobs and this will also effect those in industries that supply car parts, transport and the many shops and organisations that depend for their income on these workers spending their pay cheques. Further complications will be the negative effect on taxation income, higher dole payments and reduced share prices which in turn will decrease the value of superannuation schemes and thus affect millions. Bill Shorten should be thankful he and the ALP lost the election and will not have to deal with this mess, an economic disaster in the making caused by the decision of Tony Abbott, Joe Hockey and the LNP government to discourage the car manufacturers that resulted in their closure. Graeme Parrott, Somerville

The coal equation

While the issue of global warming and the bleaching of corals in the Great Barrier Reef is continually talked about and now that [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has been returned to office, presumably to keep the portfolio of Environment Minister, I must again ask: How can he justify allowing the proposed Adani Carmichael coal mine in Queensland to go ahead? There is very significant evidence – backed by many scientists and Terry Hughes, director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies in Townsville - that current coral bleaching event is the worst in history and is due to two main factors: a record El Nino event (exacerbated by climate change) and global warming caused by CO2 emissions. Does Mr Hunt agree that any additional CO2 emissions, such as from coal mining and therefore the burning of this coal, will have a long and lasting detrimental effect on our climate and thus a detrimental effect on coral reefs? Mr Hunt must clearly state his position on the millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions the Adani mine will generate and say whether he believes it will have a detrimental effect on our environment? Andrew Raff, Tuerong

Penbus: still waiting I was disappointed to read that Nepean MP Martin Dixon has only now received ministerial briefing notes under FoI regarding Penbus. (“Facts about Penbus” Letters 12/7/16). He has had since 2013 to chase recurrent funding and has been fully aware of the situation from the beginning and has done nothing about it. As stated in my previous letter, Penbus directly affects disadvantaged students in Rosebud and the southern peninsula and I make no apologies in again stating that federal funding was not renewed nor was it extended to at least the end of 2015. Frankly,I am heartily sick of this very important service being used as a political football by both state and federal government representatives and do not apologise for the timing of my letter. It is July and at this stage there is still no recurrent funding from any source for next year. Actions speak louder than words and I do not care which party delivers the recurrent funding as long as it happens. Doris Campbell, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association

Time for action One would hope Nepean MP Martin Dixon is as disappointed about the Turnbull government’s lie about saving the CFA as he seems to be with what he believes is a lie about Penbus. More importantly, maybe he should be more concerned with the way he bends the truth for his political gain. The first being his advertised line “feel free to contact him about any issue”. I know of pensioners who have been unsuccessful in getting time with him to express concerns about the lack of affordable accommodation. In 2014 he claimed to have secured funding for mental health services at Bayview House, on one of his election flyers. I believe it was Bronwyn Lawman, director of Peninsula Health Services, who had actually secured the funding in question. Rather than having a go at a community volunteer expressing her views, maybe Mr Dixon

should focus on the job he was voted to do and represent Nepean. By getting improvements for education, health and public transport services for a start. Craig Thomson, Rosebud

Clayton. It has been operating successfully for over six months with more improvements to be made in coming months. Paul Edbrooke, MP for Frankston

New bus welcome

Electronic voting

The Penbus project was provided as a no cost service to university students by the federal Labor government in 2013 as a two-year pilot program. However, funding to continue the program after July 2015 was not provided by the federal Liberal government. Obviously Fliners MP Greg Hunt did not consider it a priority for university students living on the Mornington Peninsula. The political spin by Nepean MP Martin Dixon ignores the fact that this free bus service was restricted to university students only and was not for use by the general public. The new bus route 887, while not a free service, does provide a quick express service with limited stops to Frankston rail station and a connection to Monash University campuses for both students and the public. It is a welcome addition to the existing 788 bus route, at least from Rosebud to Frankston. Any improvement to public transport on the peninsula must be seen as a big plus by all residents and not be criticised by members of an opposition political party. Let us hope that bus route 887 is well patronised to justify its continued use. Bruce Jordan, Rosebud

Let’s have an electronic voting system for government elections. Many countries do it this way, including India, but not Australia where we still have people counting paper on election night and beyond until there is a known outcome for a change or retaining of government and the result of each seat. The system would obviously work much faster than counting paper and most outcomes would be known by 8pm on election day. There would be fewer errors like the one that occurred in the seat of Indi where 1000 votes were miscounted due to a clerical error. A voter’s ID would be entered and recorded to eliminate multiple voting. Non-deliberate informal voting would be eliminated by the voter receiving error messages that need to be corrected to make the vote formal. An electronic system could eliminate deliberate informal voting as well. We would basically have a much faster and accurate and proper voting system for federal and state elections. Online voting could be used to avoid standing in cues at polling stations and would be good for absentee voting and possibly eliminate postal voting. Pre poll voting could be done electronically as well. We could have electronic polling stations or online voting or a combination of both, but something needs to be done about it soon. When will Australia come to the 21st century? Patrick Geeves, Somerville

State, shire backing I write to respond to a letter by Liberal MP for Nepean Martin Dixon published “Facts about Penbus” Letters 12/7/16). The truth is, the Andrews Labor government stepped in to save this vital service. Like so many bus services that were cut under the former Liberal government without proper consultation –Penbus was at risk of this same fate. Penbus was a successful two-year pilot service funded by the Gillard Labor government. When funding ran out in July 2015, the federal Liberal government refused to continue to fund the project, leaving students and trainees stranded. This was despite overwhelming data indicating that this service was critical for Mornington Peninsula student, trainees and job seekers. Local students, trainees and councils pleaded with [Dunkley MP] Bruce Billson, [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt and Mr Dixon to continue the funding. Sadly, those pleas fell on deaf ears. The former state Liberal government and former Minister for Education chose not to future proof the service and to protect the travel journeys of so many students. If this cut and run approach sounds familiar, it is. The same year that the federal Liberals decided not to continue funding the Penbus service, they cut $100,000 a year from the Medicentre budget, closing the crucial after hours GP service at Frankston Hospital. Again, there was silence from Liberal members. The state government stepped in and funded a replacement service. I applaud Mornington Peninsula Shire for partnering with the state government to introduce new route 887 (University Connector) which provides thousands of students and hundreds of university staff with a bus service to Monash University’s Peninsula campus to connect to the inter-campus shuttle to Monash University in

Pauline’s payback I used to read Cliff Ellen’s column in this paper. It was uncanny, he seemed to read my mind. All of his beliefs were exactly what I thought. But not this time (“Down to earth results” Letters 12/7/16). Pauline Hanson has a lot going for her. She’s wonderful, second only to my wife. She verbalises what most Australians think but are not allowed to say, thus bringing a bit more democracy into this country. She calls a spade a jolly spade. She’s a breath of fresh air in a heavy smog of political correctness. The Liberals disgracefully ganged up on her in 2003 to blacken her name and destroy her. She’s back because nearly half a million voters ticked her box number 1 for the Senate. Cliffy, it is not these voters who live in Lah Lah Land, it is the people who voted in the present government (or voted for The Arts Party). Pauline is back and it’s payback time.

Fear for island’s koalas Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

Dining out: Koalas are causing concern on French Island where they are quickly killing off the very trees that feed them. Members of the island’s Landcare group believe time is running out for both the trees and the koalas. Pictures: Alison Pitt, left, and keith Platt, above.

PROPERTY owners on French Island are worried that koalas are eating themselves out of house and home. Although not native to the island, the introduced koalas are so successful that their numbers have increased past the point of being able to sustainably coexist with the vegetation on which they feed. Islanders fear the koalas will die of starvation or need to be culled as hundreds were in 2013 and 2014 near Cape Otway, south-west of Melbourne. “The extent of damage and loss of koala habitat has increased over the last three years to the point where koalas themselves are becoming desperate for food,” French Island Landcare Group president Alison Pitt said. “It is not uncommon to see three koalas in one tree. Not only is this bad news for the tree but stressful to koalas who are quite territorial.” “Koalas on French Island remain disease free and have no predators. They do not self-regulate in their breeding habits so left unabated increase their population very quickly and are now eating themselves out of habitat.” Wildlife officers say there should be one koala a hectare. Ms Pitt said members of the Landcare her group had “been expressing their concerns to Parks Victoria, DELWP and the Minister for Environment about the koala population on French Island for almost 12 months without response”. She said a sterilisation program believed to start in spring would do little

to ease the problem in the short term. Ms Pitt said a sterilisation program started in 2007 allowed trees to recover in some areas but other parts of the island were being decimated. Since 1923 more than 8,500 koalas from French Island have been used to repopulate areas on the mainland where their numbers had been declining. “In spite of the importance of the Island for Victorian koalas, koala habitat on the island has been neglected and koala numbers have frequently been allowed to rise to the point of widespread destruction of island trees,” Ms Pitt said. “The koalas did an enormous amount of damage to koala habitat on the island in the 2000s, when translocations were halted for lack of further suitable places in Victoria, exacerbated by the millennium drought.” Ms Pitt said of thousands of trees planted by the Landcare group over the past two decades had been killed or damaged by koalas. Although a management plan is being devised for the island’s koalas the group believes doing nothing to manage the animals’ habitat should not be an option. Ms Pitt said it appeared the island was seen as a place to breed koalas but without consideration being given to damage being done to areas of manna gum heathy woodland and swamp gum plains grassy woodland “where tiny degraded remnants remain on basalt soils on private land, which are constantly threatened by koala overbrowsing”. The News has contacted DELWP for comment.

Changing lives Fine furnishings: The dining table, side table and tapestry fire screen were donated back to Coolart by a descendant of previous owners.

Table back ‘home’ after 80 years A DINING table and other items of furniture have been returned to Coolart Homestead, near Somers, after almost 80 years. The original 16-seat table arrived at Coolart in 1937, where it was converted into an extension table by Gerturde Luxton, who also crafted the original tapestries for the chairs. Mrs Loxton is the wife of Tom Luxton, who bought the 1895 property from the Grimwade family in 1937 and declared it a sanctuary for native wildlife. He embarked upon a program of habitat development. Peter Roffey, a descendant of the Luxton family, made the donation along with eight chairs and a

matching fire screen. The other eight chairs are still with family members. Mr Roffey wanted to see the table returned “to where it belongs”, and says it holds many fond memories as “the heart of family gatherings”. Parks Victoria staff Jenny and Brian Thomas, who look after the Coolart Historical Area, are also thrilled to see the table and chairs back in the homestead’s dining room. “It’s great to have these original pieces come back to Coolart and, not surprisingly, they look right at home,” Ms Thomas said. Along with its impressive garden and wetlands, Coolart is now managed by Parks Victoria.

A COUNSELLING organisation aimed at helping people change their lives will hold its first program for 16-18 year olds at Safety Beach from August 20. The three-day residential seminars will give participants an opportunity to work out strategies to cope with stresses in their lives, including family problems, drug addiction, relationship issues, anxiety and poor motivation. Participants will receive a six-month follow up consultation as part of the $200 a person program at the Don Bosco Camp. Call: Louise Plant 0418 940 653.

Open gardens TWO gardens in Mornington and one at Flnders will be open to the public as part of this year’s Garden Designfest. The three gardens are among 30 professionally designed, private gardens that will be open , 12 and 13 November.

The three Mornington Penoinsula gardens are the Eugene Milligan and Steve Taylor gardens at Mornington and Rick Eckersley’s Musk Creek Farm at Flinders “Victorians love to visit the beautiful gardens of other people to gain inspiration and ideas, or simply to have a good old sticky beak at a garden which is otherwise closed to the public,” organiser David Maiden said. Garden Designfest is conducted by Rotary and all money raised is given to charity, including the new Monash Children’s Hospital, Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation and the Murdoch Childrens Health Foundation.

Historic boats behind a model occupation Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ROB Lippiat is reviving the days when paddle steamers regularly circumnavigated Port Phillip. But he’s not about to embark on a voyage of the bay, it’s more about looking at the past in scale, about 100 to one. Lippiat is building model replicas of the boats and admits to doing things by halves. His wooden boats and split down the middle and mounted on mirrors. “I used to make them complete, but this way they can fit in with any decor,” Lippiat says while sitting at his workbench in Mt Martha. “That was more than 14 years ago when I sold them at various markets, the main one being at Southbank.” According to Lippiat the bottom fell out of the model boat boom he’d been experiencing soon after 11 September 2001 the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Coincidence or not, the loss of the model boat market meant he had to return to the building trade (he ran a roofing company and also erected house frames) and the other recreational loves of his life: hang gliding, surfing and diving (dodging a seal that he thought was a sharks off Flinders and taking the wrong tunnel to an undersea cave in Western Samoa are just two of his many tales). Lippiat was an early starter among the ranks of hang gliders, having always “wanted to fly like a bird”. He was accomplished and flew the cliffs at Mt Martha (often pursued on the ground by by-laws officer), from Flinders to Cape Schanck and around Portsea and Point Nepean.

The boatman: Rob Lippiat and one of his models of the historic vessels that once regularly took day trippers around Port Phillip.

He laughingly admits “every land is a crash landing” and remembers the difficulty in scaling high security fences around the Quarantine Station at Point Nepean. There were also “28, or was it 36” circles in a downward spiral from 8000 foot above Double Island Point in Queensland. Nowadays, he still surfs and has decided to go back to the boats, albeit concentrating on the paddle steam-

ers that in the late 1800s plied Port Phillip, such as the Weeroona, Hygeia, Ozone, Lonsdale and the Golden Crown. Photos and dimensions are available on the internet, along with their histories. An accomplished cartoonist, he chooses his own colours. The latest crop of models is mounted on mirrors instead of being framed.

“I wanted to make Australian boats, especially those that had something to do with the bay,” Lippiat says. Inspiration also came after reading a book about shipwrecks on Victoria’s west coast. More definite ideas come in the form of photographs sent by boat owners commissioning him to make them a model of their pride and joy. Lippiat reaches for an iPad to call up some historic pictures of boats but

pauses on a site that hosts live feeds of cameras pointing at several of the peninsula’s better known surf beaches. The pictures show there is swell, an offshore wind and an incoming tide. All thoughts of model boats are pushed aside; the “Mastershipwright” – as Lippiat calls his business – is off in search of a wave. To find out more about Rob Lippiat’s model boats call 0418 544 464.

WHAT’S NEW...

Wedding expo showcases the best of the peninsula THE Mornington Peninsula Weddings Association [MPW] held a hugely successful Wedding Expo in Mornington on Sunday 19 June. This was the industry group’s fourth expo and the ever growing popularity of the event is no surprise to MPW’s President Mary-Anne Brasacchio. “This is now the largest wedding expo outside of Melbourne showcasing over 85 local wedding suppliers,” said Mrs Brasacchio. “The Mornington Peninsula is fast becoming the number one destination for weddings in Victoria.

Southern Peninsula News

“The Peninsula has so much to offer that any wedding desire can be accommodated. The region has a great diversity of landscapes that is unmatched anywhere else in Victoria.” The Wedding Expo attracted over three hundred couples who are in the process of planning their wedding. The bridal couples were able to obtain all the information and inspiration needed to assist in organising their dream wedding day. The Expo showcased local venues, caterers, accommodation, transport suppliers, stylists, photographers,

celebrants, entertainment, hair and make-up artists and attire options. “The wedding industry is a fast growing sector of the local economy and now accounts for $100 million worth of business every year,” said Mrs Brasacchio. “The MPW group comprises of local, independent business who work together to provide a premium service to the bridal couple for their special day. “Their wedding is one of the most important days of the couple’s life and they want everything to be right. The dedicated members of MPW

work hard to meet those expectations.” Mary Anne was quizzed about the trends in weddings and what that means for the Mornington Peninsula, “Weddings are now occurring from Thursday to Monday throughout the year, rather than just October- April. “Guests are staying longer to the point where accommodation is now regularly sought for 3-4 days for the bridal party, family and friends. “These trends have considerable economic benefits for our region and local employment.”

Mornington Peninsula Weddings want to extend their thanks to Mornington Peninsula Shire and sponsors Mornington Peninsula News Group and Audi Mornington, all of whom contributed to the day’s success. Mornington Peninsula Weddings has over 100 independent business members and anyone wishing to join the progressive industry group can email Mary-Anne at: info@peninsulaweddings.com.au or visit the MP Weddings website www.peninsulaweddings.com.au Pictures: Gary Sissons

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr Hodgkinson passes away at 45 Compiled by Melissa Walsh BY the death of Mr J. F. Hodgkinson, the district loses an old and highly esteemed resident. He possessed many natural talents besides being good with the brush and pencil, he was also a fine etcher. A lover of good poetry, he was an original thinker and a keen student of nature. His life exemplified two well known sayings “Talent is developed in solitude” and “They whom the Gods love, die young” for he passed away at the early age of 45 years. He will be greatly missed by the residents of the adjoining properties. His practical advice was always ready when needed. He was one of the original members of the Mutual Improvement Society, and assisted in the building of the local Recreation Hall. As Mr Berry was the organiser and promoter of the Hall, so Mr Hodgkinson was the architect. For his assistance to the Hall at critical periods, it is proposed to place a small memorial tablet on the wall. *** BRUNSWICK A.N.A Football club will play a team from Naval Base in the Frankston Park today when a collection will be taken up in aid of the French Red Cross. In the evening a dance will be held under the auspices of the “Australian Club” Admission 1s, refreshments provided. Alleet’s band has been engaged. *** THE sum of £6 has been handed into

the fund of the local Roll of Honor being the net result of the dance held by the “Australian Club” on 1st July. Considering many calls upon the public, this amount is very gratifying and resounds to the credit of the hon. sec. for her untiring labours under great disadvantages. *** ON the 8th inst at the Naval Base football match, a belt was lost containing £28 in notes. It was picked up by a man, and claimed by Michael Moore as his property. The finder gave Moore the money, and shortly afterwards another claimant established his right to the lost property by describing same, and Moore was given into custody for stealing. He was brought up at the Frankston Court on Monday, and remanded to the City court on Monday next. *** INFORMATION has been received that the Corp. W. Green mentioned in the Anzac honor list is Corp. W. M. Green, (now Sergeant) son of Mr and Mrs W M Green of Mornington Junction. Awarded D. C. M. *** THE following letter was received by the Rev A. P. McFarlane, from the vestry of St Anselm Middle Park: — Dear Mr McFarlane.— I have been instructed by the members of St Anselm’s Vestry to convey to Mrs McFarlane and yourself the deep sense of appreciation which they feel at the character of your united work in this parish. We shall ever bear,in grateful rec-

ognition of your own efforts, a keen memory of your personal worth your unfailing courtesy. your christian earnestness, and your kindly disposition. These attributes have done much to influence our lives for good. We also desire to place officially on record Mrs McFarlane’s loyal and devoted work for the parish, and to tender her our lasting expression, of gratitude for her unselfish labors in our midst. A record of our appreciation is being embodied in the minutes of the Vestry meetings, to be signed by the Church Wardens. With heartfelt wishes for the continued prosperity and happiness of Mrs McFarlane, yourself and family, I am, yours very sincerely, W. C. Humphries, Hon Sec. *** COMMONWEALTH War Loan. Applications by small subscribers up to £100. So that there may be no misapprehension, the Commonwealth Treasurer desires it to be known that any person may apply on the Extended Installment Subscription basis for amounts up to £100, receive the full privileges attaching to small investors, that is to say, they will get a full twelve months’ interest on 30th June 1917. It was originally intended to give this privilege to employees and other similar small investors only, but the Treasurer has since decided that any person may take advantage of the arrangement up to £100. Persons desiring to invest larger amounts can, by lodging a separate

application, get full privileges attaching to small subscribers for the first £100. The Subscription List will close on 1st August next, and as that date is drawing close it behoves everyone who can make funds available, to invest in the War Loan to the fullest extent of their means, and in view of the terms which are offered there should be very many who can take part. *** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Gifts. The following letters have been received by the Secretary of the Somerville Patriot’s League from boys at the front, in grateful acknowledgement of goods received by them from that body. In France. 14th May 1916 - Just a line to thank the ladies of your League for having received one pair of sox from them, through our officers. Many thanks. I am yours faithfully. 793 SPR ARCH WHITE, 2nd Australian Tunnelling Coy. May 28th 1916 - It is with great pleasure that I write to say that I received a parcel from you and I understand that they were sent for Xmas. But it only arrived yesterday 27th May. The contents were all in perfect order and I must say the ladies used good judgment in choosing the contents. My mess-mates and myself had quite a birthday. As the weather is very hot a few tasty bits went well. I must thank you for treating us so well and working so hard for us, but I hope your labor will not be in vain. So once more thanking you and

wishing you all good health. I remain yours sincerely, CORPORAL KIMBERLEY. *** ON Sunday last a large number of returned sick and wounded soldiers visited Somerville under the auspices of the automobile club. The men arrived about quarter past twelve and were then taken in to a sit down dinner consisting of ham, poultry and mutton with hot vegetables. The tables were beautifully decorated with wattle blossom and other flowers and gave a nice appearance to the hall. Altogether there were about 180 men present and expressed themselves as being delighted with the welcome extended to them. During the dinner Cr Griffeth formally welcomed the men and said he was pleased to have them here. Crs Murray and Keast, and Major (Dr) Griffith supported his remarks. *** A LARGE gathering of friends assembled in the hall to bid farewell to six of our boys who were presented with silver cigarette cases, inscribed with their initials. A short programme of songs was gone through, and dancing between items made an enjoyable evening. The soldiers present were Corporals Meldrum and Hutchinson, Privates Heywood, Philbrick, Nivett and Thornell. Supper was handed round and thus finished a very enjoyable evening. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 July, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Reflections on the race for the Iron Throne By Stuart McCullough I couldn’t help myself. I lapped up every second of it even though it meant planting myself in front of the television for ten consecutive hours, breaking only for sustenance. It’s official: I’m hooked. I’m the first to admit that I am addicted, despite having been resistant early on. Now there’s nothing so important to me as finding out who will win the battle to rule the six kingdoms (and two territories) and sit on the Iron Throne. Ser Malcolm or Ser Bill? Comparing politics and Game of Thrones is probably a cheap shot. One involves treachery, bloodlust and depravity. The other is a television show. But watching election night coverage is an odd tradition in this country that centres around fluctuating tallies and, more than anything else, one man: Antony Green. Frankly, he is the Elvis Presley of Psephologists; the man to whom an expectant nation turns in times of need. To soothe us. To give us answers and to tell us that we didn’t waste our time queuing up for an hour at the local primary school. Come Election Day, there are plenty of talking heads who’ll espouse all manner of rubbish for hours. Antony Green, however, controls a super-computer that predicts the future. Over the years, my feelings about the electoral process have changed dramatically. Once, I treated volunteers thrusting their ‘how to vote’ cards in my direction as if I was Marlene Dietrich and they were crazed autograph hunters. Sunglasses planted firmly on my nose and a scarf wrapped around my head to remain incognito, I’d sweep past with my entourage re-

PAGE 28

fusing to accept anything shoved in my direction. I felt this was preferable to accepting papers from just one of them, thereby inadvertently undermining the whole ‘secret ballot’ process, invalidating the entire election and destroying the space time continuum forever (possibly). Long ago, I worked at a number of elections. This was back in the presausage sizzle era, when voting still carried the stigma of some kind of community based order. These were marathon days that I attended with an elaborate packed lunch and during which I was paired with someone who was (hopefully) more experienced. There was no thrill greater than being able to locate someone’s name on the

Southern Peninsula News 19 July 2016

electoral roll in quick time. I spent the 2004 election in Queensland, watching as it became clear that the nation had rejected the idea of installing a Prime Minister who shakes hands like a shaved gorilla. That was the year I had the honour of casting an absentee ballot. It’s like being a VIP or the extra short queue at the airport check-in counter reserved only for those lucky enough to be a member of a requisite ‘club’. Absentee voting is the luxury electoral experience. I often wonder why I bother to vote in my own electorate at all, given that a short drive would guarantee special treatment. In 2007, I spent election night at my youngest brother’s wedding. (In the

interests of accuracy, I should make it clear that it wasn’t just his wedding. It was also his wife’s wedding. There are very few weddings that involve just one person.) Even in the midst of a reception, results trickled in like news from a distant war zone. The result was clear when, as we were heading home, we saw three young men wearing ‘Kevin ‘07’ t-shirts fall out of a taxi. They looked like the happiest people on earth. I can only imagine how they looked a short three years later. What became of the t-shirts is anyone’s guess. In 2010 and 2013, we voted at different schools, despite not having moved. On the first occasion, the school just down the road hosted and,

in a stroke of genius, decided to combine the election with their school fete. Fate of the nation, fete of the school; all served with onions and mustard. Waiting to cast your ballot, you were surrounded by stalls of every kind. By the time you reached the booth proper, you had to balance homemade organic banana bread and a jar of lime marmalade along with your senate paper. It was confusing, too. Although I can’t be sure; if it so happens that I accidentally shoved my bratwurst into the House of Representatives box, please forgive me. Next time, the school just down the road was quiet. Perhaps the fete had been too much of a success and the sheer scale of their entrepreneurism had got up the noses of some of the less-well known political parties who frown on that kind of thing. All I know is that we had to go to a different school without so much as a sausage sizzle. Just an eight-year-old playing violin. Whether this was intended as a subtle form of political campaigning by invoking the image of Nero playing the fiddle whilst Rome burned it was, doubtless, the subject of a complaint of some kind. The electoral cycle is much like my first cycle; a Malvern Star that had five gears and was at its best when pointed downhill with gravity is in its favour. But I love Election Day. It’s nothing short of a miracle that millions of people can cast their vote and it’s all done in such an orderly, peaceful manner. And if that’s not something of an achievement, I don’t know what is. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pythons flex muscles as Edwards snags nine PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES bounced back from a shock defeat last week to inflict a savage loss on Bonbeach in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday. Pines coach Patty Swayne scoffed at suggestions pre-match that there was daylight between Bonbeach and the top three sides after the Sharks had won seven of its past eight games. However, Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes might have been right after the Sharks were made to look second rate by the Pythons, going down 4.12 (36) to 17.6 (108). Pines’ loss last week to Edithvale had a little to do with the fact that full back Jack Fisher didn’t play, along with star forward/ruckman Tim Bongetti, tough onballer Chris Guganovic, classy youngster Brad Kiely and the underrated Damian Plane. They were all back on Saturday and

despite taking a while to get going, recorded an effortless victory in the end. Aaron Edwards took his own footy to the match at Eric Bell Reserve, relishing the outstanding conditions with nine goals in a faultless display, while Guganovic and Adam Maling were superb also. Only seven points separated the teams at half time, before Edwards started his one-man show that saw the home side boot 11 goals to six behinds after the major interval. Jackson Casey and Justin Bennett were the best of the Sharks. League leading goal kicker Mick Meehan was the best player on the ground on Saturday in Edithvale-Aspendale’s demolition on Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. In what some considered a danger game, the Eagles were never in any trouble at all, extending their lead at every change to run out 19.8 (122) to 10.10 (70) victors.

Liam Harris was superb across half back, providing enormous run and drive for the Eagles, as did Jack Fisher, while Todd Woodbridge again relished the wide-open spaces of Lloyd Park. The game saw nine Under 19s play in the match with Langwarrin having five of them. Under 19 skipper Kyle BusuttilInglis made his senior debut and looked at home with poise and attack on the footy, finishing with a couple of goals. Luke Churcher, Blake Peach, Nick Tuddenham and Shane Paterson were the best of the Kangas. On a negative note in the match, Tommy Turner was carried from the field with a leg injury, while Langwarrin’s Gerard Brown was reported and offered two-weeks for nothing more than a late hip and shoulder on Woodbridge. For a player to get suspended for that would be an outrage, as was shared by Eagles’ players and officials

after the game. It was simply a blatant over-reaction from an umpire that likes to be involved in the occasion. Mt Eliza took more than an hour to shake off a very persistent Karingal, eventually winning 10.12 (72) to 6.13 (49). The Bulls led at every change except for the one that mattered as the Redlegs almost doubled their score in the last quarter, booting five goals to four behinds. Darren Booth and debutant Mason Dewitt were sensational for the winners while Sam Gill and Dan Gormley were also at their best. Aaron Paxton booted three goals to be Karingal’s best while Aaron Lees was also very good. Mornington’s dominant 24.11 (155) to 12.9 (81) victory against Seaford was marred by the head injury to Nick Martin, who was taken from the field by ambulance. The match was stopped in the third

quarter after Martin was taken down in a tackle. At that stage, the Dogs were well and truly on top after booting 15 goals to seven in the first half. Jackson Calder was at his scintillating best with nine goals while Jimmy Cameron booted four and Josh Halsall was dominant. Josh Stokes and Curtis Murfett were the best of the Tigers. Frankston YCW had a few players back this week and the result was a 14.10 (94) to 7.8 (50) victory against Chelsea. The Gulls were in the contest for a long time, however, trailing by just 21 points at the last change. The Stonecats booted four goals to three behinds in the last quarter with Bryon Barry and Lachy Wallace dominating, while Daniel Waddell booted three goals in the absence of David Bodley.

Devon Meadows farewell a friend NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt THE Devon Meadows Football Club was a super proud club on Saturday night. But it had little to do with the 13.10 (88) to 10.11 (71) victory against finals aspirants Rye. It was more about how the Meadows went about the entire day after star player, two-time league medal winner and favourite son Beau Miller lost his fight with cancer. After being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer a couple of months ago, Beau lost his fight last Thursday, leaving behind wife Stephanie, two young sons and a football community that adored him both on and off the field. The players from both sides kicked off the day with a guard of honour and the ground stood as one for a minute’s silence before Beau’s four-year-old released balloons into the sky. In an emotionally charged match for both sides, the Meadows got away to the perfect start when Ash Adams kicked a goal, before Rye took control of the match. At quarter time the Demons led by 16 points and they maintained that break until half time. Devon Meadows coach Glenn Michie said after the game “that it was like we had a 23rd magnet on the board in the second half”. “Things started to happen, the ball started to bounce our way and the group grew an extra set of legs,” Michie said. The result was a six goal to one point third term that saw the Meadows go into the final break with an 11 point lead. The home side, playing with the spirit of Beau Miller urging them along, extended their lead in the final quarter to finally run out 17 point winners. It was a fitting result for a footy club that has had it pretty tough in 2016. “I’m so proud to be Devon Meadows right now,” Michie said. In the lead up to the match, Michie said the support of his football club from the local football community had been overwhelming. “The support from all the clubs across both divisions and even the South East League has been amazing,” Michie said. “My phone has been filled with messages of good wishes, which just goes to show how good the footy community is.

Gone but never forgotten: Devon Meadows pay tribute to Beau Miller after he lost his battle with cancer. Picture: Scott Memery

“We faltered against Frankston Bombers when Beau’s original diagnosis was announced but this time I’m really confident the group will have stronger resolve. “Whatever the result, I’ll be proud that we can even get out there together and honour the great man (Beau),” Michie said. Honour Beau Miller the Devon Meadows Football Club did, both on and off the field. Former coach Brent Clinnick was one of many supporters at the game, who said afterwards that he couldn’t be a “prouder Devon Meadows football person right now”. Fittingly, great mate Jesse Dehey was the best player on the ground and carried Beau’s son off the field at the end of the match. Rye Football Club should be congratulated too. It was tough day for the Demons. They desperately needed to win to keep their finals hopes alive, while being respectful of the occasion. There were many, many tears shed at Glover Reserve on Saturday, many of which were also coming from the red and the blue, both on and off the field.

The loss saw Rye drop to seventh place on the ladder, two points outside of the top bracket with one less game to play than four of the other six sides vying for a place in the five. Sorrento also has one less game to play and its win against Dromana on Saturday was significant. Playing their final game of the season on home turf, the Sharks simply had no choice to win this one if it wanted to play finals. Regardless of the fact they won, they are still outside the top five. The heat was on some individuals and not surprisingly, they lifted when required. Sorrento trailed by 12 points at quarter time, 10 points at half time and seven points at three quarter time before booting four goals to one in the last to win 13.8 (86) to 11.9 (75). Luke Tapscott was simply superb and answered his critics with a best on ground performance while Nick Corp was just as damaging with five goals. Nick Marsten needed to produce after a shocker the week before (he had plenty of mates) and he responded and Heath Cameron proved his worth in his first senior game in years.

The plucky Tigers just couldn’t hang on when the heat got turned up in the last, despite the efforts of Christian Ongarello across half back, Beau Cosson in attack with four goals and Billy Quigley, who has had a superb year. Rosebud inflicted Hastings second horror defeat in as many weeks with a devastating 14.19 (103) to 8.9 (57) win. Hastings kicked the opening goal of the game before Rosebud took control from that point on. The margin was three goals at quarter time, five goals at half time and 47 points at the last change. Rosebud’s inaccuracy (14.19) saved the Blues from further embarrassment. Greg Bentley was sensational with four goals in a best on ground display while Nick Boswell was devastating across half back. The Blues have dropped to fourth place. Somerville is back inside the top five after a comfortable 19.13 (127) to 13.6 (84) win against Pearcedale. The game was set up in the first half when the Eagles got themselves 43 points in front. Ben Crowe was electric once again

with six goals, giving him 11 in the past two weeks, while Justin and Todd Farrelly and Ben Sedgewick were outstanding. Troy Jacobson and Dylan Hoare kicked a couple of goals each for the Dales and were their best players. Tyabb went scoreless for three quarters against Frankston Bombers on Saturday before finishing the game 1.3 (9) to 24.17 (161). James Degenhardt was the best player on the ground with six goals for the Bombers while the midfield of Sam Fox, Brett and Dale Sutton and Ryan Kitchen was unstoppable. Rohan McGrath and Riley West were the best of the Yabbies. In the final game Red Hill belted Crib Point. The Hillmen had 38 scoring shots to 12, including 13 to two in the opening term. Inaccuracy cost the second placed Hillmen valuable percentage in a tight season, winning 14.24 (108) to 6.6 (42). Jake Mitchell and Luke Marchetti were outstanding for the Hillmen while Nick Rutherford and Kain Stratton tried hard for the Magpies.

Rosebud’s perfect record, Skye in mourning SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD Heart is the only senior team throughout Victoria’s State Leagues with a perfect record. While the fledgling club has achieved a rare feat in only its second year of competition the mood among local clubs was one of gloom as tribute was paid at last weekend’s matches to former Skye United president and FFV Chief Financial Officer Chris Attard, 52, who died last week. Skye drew 0-0 away to Harrisfield Hurricanes on Saturday but the club remains a genuine title contender in State League 4 South. Heart’s relentless push towards promotion from State League 5 South came at the expense of Pakenham United last weekend as Scott Morrison’s men recorded a 3-0 home win. The tone of this contest was set by two goals in a minute from James Liddle, his first in the 14th minute via a first-time strike following a corner and the second neatly slotted past the advancing Pakenham keeper. Dave Greening’s mandatory goal came in the 72nd minute after he burst into the area on an angle then blasted the ball home to make it 3-0. “While winning every match so far is a great achievement and all credit to the players our first aim is to secure promotion and then we’ll worry about titles,” said Morrison. Langwarrin blew a great chance to end a 23-year Lawton Park drought when it drew 0-0 with local rival Mornington in their State League 1 South-East blockbuster last weekend.

The last time Langy got the better of the Seagulls at Lawton Park was on 21 August 1993 when a Robert Mathieson goal clinched a 1-0 win for the home team. Mornington went into Saturday’s match without suspended Scott Webster and injured key central defender Steve Elliott while Langy midfielder Sam Scott failed a pre-game fitness test. Langy could have had this one sewn up by half-time but was denied by poor finishing. Koray Suat should have had a first-half hat-trick while Nabil Mozaffaruddin mistimed headers and Nick Thorogood hammered a shot against the bar while also twice striking the

ball across the face of goal from the right side of the area. Mornington came closest in the 14th minute when Sammy Stewart’s lay-off was struck sweetly by Paul McEvoy but Langy powerhouse Alex Van Heerwarden cleared off the line. Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy was much more involved in this match than counterpart Robbie Acs and in the dying minutes an acrobatic lunge at full stretch by McEvoy denied substitute Anthony Selemidis who had met a cross superbly and headed the ball firmly towards the top far corner. Frankston Pines went down 2-1 away to Warragul United last weekend as it battles to avoid relegation from State League 1 South-East. A superb Kane Bentley ball over the defence enabled Josh Calle to lob advancing Warragul keeper Jake Richardson to make it 1-0 for Pines in the 33rd minute but within a minute Ben Caffrey and Graham Hill both slipped on the greasy surface and Jacob Vitale pounced to level. Pines hearts were broken five minutes from time when Robbie Stephen’s far post header from a corner settled the issue. Peninsula Strikers and Old Scotch keep getting involved in goal fests and Saturday’s State League 2 South-East clash at H.A. Smith Reserve was no exception with league leader Old Scotch edging out Craig Lewis’s side 4-3. Strikers led 3-1 at the interval with goals from Alex Hopson (5th minute), Matt Morris-Thomas (24th minute) and Conor Keely (41st minute) with Sam Shearer (11th minute) on target for the

home side. Shearer completed his hat-trick with a controversial 82nd penalty and a 97th minute match winner while substitute Louis Razuki had levelled at 3-3 in the 89th minute. After the match talk centred on the late penalty decision and its impact on the outcome. “The referee initially gave a goalkick then his assistant called him over and he awarded a penalty,” said an upset Lewis. “I was proud of our boys as we hadn’t played for four weeks and probably ran out of legs in the last 15 minutes but I’ve got no doubt that the penalty changed everything and gave them an extra lift.” Seaford United lost 3-2 at home to Beaumaris in Saturday’s State League 2 South-East clash. Both Antun Vilic and Ashley Cattermole squandered good chances early on for Beaumaris. Vilic made amends in the 28th minute with an opportunistic strike from inside a crowded penalty area. Seaford fought hard to get back on level terms and was rewarded in the 39th minute when Dylan Waugh emphasised his scoring prowess with a superbly curled shot from the edge of the area to make it 1-1. The home side charged forward straight from the restart and a seemingly innocuous cross was met by a sliding Caleb Duncan whose own goal made it 2-1 to Seaford. Vilic nabbed his brace in the 78th minute after pouncing on a poor attempted clearance and two minutes later Seaford lost its main attacking

threat when a quad injury forced Waugh off. Seaford coach Paulo Pinheiro had already used three substitutions so his side was forced to see out the game with 10 men. The decisive moment came in the 87th minute when Duncan grabbed his chance to go from zero to hero and he nabbed the winner to give the visitors all three points. Baxter retains hopes of catching Rosebud Heart in the championship race in State League 5 South and defeated Old Mentonians 4-1 at Baxter Park on Saturday. Early goals to Daniel Sharratt and Liam Kilner killed off the contest and a headed goal by captain Frank Ntim in the 25th minute gave the home side an unassailable lead. Kilner came off at half-time with an injury to his foot and may have to go for scans this week. Paul Swann made it 4-0 in the 87th minute and Marcus Spivey scored the visitors’ consolation goal in the 90th minute. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 23 July, 3pm: Mornington v Morwell Pegasus (Dallas Brooks Park), Frankston Pines v Berwick City (Monterey Reserve), South Springvale v Langwarrin (Warner Reserve), Doveton v Peninsula Strikers (Waratah Reserve), Caulfield Utd Cobras v Seaford Utd (Victory Park), Skye Utd v Dandenong South (Skye Recreational Reserve), Rosebud Heart v White Star Dandenong (Truemans Road Recreation Reserve), Casey Panthers v Baxter (Prospect Hill Reserve).
