sculpture just over a week ago, there had been an overwhelming majority of support for it, though he conceded that it might cause conflict.

“The amount of positive feedback we’ve had has been really significant, which means it’s hitting a nerve for people in the community

and shows this is something that’s important for people,” he said.

“There will be no doubt people for whom this is challenging but that’s important to for them to be challenged and we will welcome the conversation whatever they bring.”

A confronting art installation that draws parallels between Christ’s crucifixion and the treatment of asylum seekers in Australia has been erected at the front of the Tecoma Uniting Church.

The work depicts a father, a pregnant mother and child each hanging from their own crucifix and labelled with the sites of Australia’s most controversial detention centres: Manus Island, Nauru and Christmas Island.

Kallista resident and artist Reverend John Tansey used 800 metres of barbed wire to create the four-metre tall sculptures.

Rev Tansey - who works in a mental health chaplaincy role - named his piece Deterrence and said the art reflected the crucifixion of the human rights of asylum seekers.

“Since time began, governments have used terror, torture, and fear to reinforce their authority, and power over vulnerable people,” he said.

“Through history all kinds of human rights abuses are justified by governments as deterrents and sadly this is our ongoing story with asylum seekers.

"Jesus was crucified because he spoke out against injustice.”

Rev Tansey said the work also reflected the way the cross was used in the past as a tool for fear and intimidation, and how the Australian government continued to use and abuse asylum seekers for political purposes.

“We in Australia continue to banish people to off-shore detention or limit their life experience in on-shore centres by imposing crippling visas and reducing financial support," he said.

"This treatment affects whole families and strips them of hope from their life experience.”

Tecoma Uniting Church Minister Matt Cutler said he hoped the work would provoke people to look at the Easter story in a new way and reconsider the ethics of detention centres.

“We don’t see ourselves as the moral guide or the experts on any issue but see ourselves as being a voice on issues, by starting a conversation,” he said.

OPINION Don't bank on loyalty I have been an ANZ customer for many years.

I was banking at the Emerald branch which they closed.

They transferred my account to Monbulk.

Around the same time it became possible to do a variety of transactions at the post office without paying fees.

ANZ in their wisdom ceased this service in January this year.

Now the Monbulk branch is closing, my account is being sent to Lilydale.

I might go to Lilydale once or twice a year.

So much for service. Not happy. Time to think about changing banks.

ANZ won't miss us long, loyal customers, will they?

Meant for Monbulk?

Is everyone in Monbulk aware of the development proposed for 22-26 Main Street, Monbulk?

The sketch on the council website shows a three-storied building with shops and 21 apartments.

While I understand the need for more housing in the area, 21 apartments seems extreme.

It will be the biggest block of apartments in the hills by far.

Is this the kind of thing we really want in Monbulk?

Vote one a safe climate The Federal Government's decision to approve the Adani coal mine underlines the importance that voters in the electorates of Casey and La Trobe vote one for a safe climate.

Leading climate scientists have long agreed that 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is the maximum limit of CO2 for a safe climate.

Even though we are currently at 410 parts per million and enduring a growing number of extreme weather events it is reckless for conservative politicians to support new coal mines because we know burning more coal will make climate change worse!

The danger is that pro-coal policies will take us beyond 410 ppm and on to dangerous tipping points. Instead we need candidates with policies to significantly reduce emissions and draw down atmospheric carbon.

If we do not vote for a safe climate the legacy in electorates like Casey and La Trobe will be hotter, drier summers and more extreme bush fires.

An 'act of God' Dear Councillor Moore, We were very disappointed in the choice of wording you used in reference to the blame for the recent awful fires in the Bunyip State Forest and the surrounding districts, as reported in

Belgrave’s Vivienne Burrows spotted this tawny frogmouth in her garden and managed to grab a photograph.

“I often feel I’m being watched and now I know why,” she said.

Follow @MailCommunity on Instagram for snaps from around the Yarra Ranges, and tag us in your local shots for a chance to see them in print. the Ranges Trader Mail dated 12 March 2019.

We understand your frustration at the negative responses made by some people in regard to the CFA. They did an outstanding job in very dangerous conditions.

To “blame God” and to call it “an act of God” is wrong.

The fires were started by lightning, an act of nature, as are tsunamis, earthquakes, cyclones and tornadoes.

We live in a fire-prone area and are well aware of the threat of fire.

It is our choice to live in the hills.

We cannot expect firefighters to be available for us at our homes when fire threatens their lives or they are busy trying to fight fires over a huge area.

All the communities involved are in awe of the amazing work the CFA members do voluntarily.

We believe your choice of wording was disappointing to many.

Round-about time to act Interesting to read the letter in the opinion section of the Ferntree Gully-Belgrave Mail Trader on 2 April 2019 about the group of women who 'stand at the Belgrave roundabout' every Saturday.

A BIG SHOUT out to these women for their incredible, ongoing commitment and for standing up and giving voice to the many voiceless people forced to flee their country of origin for survival.

We live in a predictable, comfortable, safe and secure environment in Australia and just

cannot imagine a life where for months you're forced to fight for survival every day in every way, to navigate the multiple and complex challenges ahead, with the hope of reaching safety but ultimately finding yourself imprisoned indefinitely on an island, in some cases for up to five years, with no options at the end of it but to be returned to your country of origin and face torture or death.

People like us, people who want a normal life - to work, support families, send children to school, laugh, play etcetera and have a basic right to be safe in everyday life.

It's beyond our imagination as Australians!

Thank you for publishing this letter, now I know who to contact to explore what I too can do to provide assistance in any way I can.

Heaven on our Doorstep We've heaven on our doorstep - just take a look outside!

Breathe in the scent of eucalypts in glorious countryside.

The grandeur of the Dandenong's, these blessed, beauteous hills Exist for all of us to share. Tree ferns with leafy frills, The tall and splendid mountain ash and creeks where waters flow So crystal clear, o'er ancient rocks of Dreamtime, long ago.

Sherbrooke Forest seems to sing. Her music fills the air With tinkling sounds from Monbulk Creek.

There's birdsong everywhere.

There's the laughing kookaburra and the cockie's piercing squawk,

And the chatter of rosellas and gallahs who fly and walk In lush enchanted forest. Oh, the magic of the trees, Their energy that nurtures. Soft scents waft on the breeze.

A place still close to nature, in all her verdant splendour, It has the great ability to foster and engender Great love for her abundant gifts. A space that's like no other, It helps tired hearts to swell and lift. The hills are like a lover Who keeps the passion fresh and new with constant, sweet surprises.

Such possibilities to explore! Her mystique tantalises.

Where in this paradise to start? The Rickett's Sanctuary Is a place to thrill the heart. It is a must to see.

Go when the air is damp and chill to feel a sense profound; The earthy, primal energy of spiritual ground.

A work of passion, care and love, a legacy to share; One man's dream inspires us all to look, to feel, to care.

Mount Dandenong! The view across to Melbourne's distant towers Is just superb! A place to sit and gaze and dream for hours ...

The Rhododendron Gardens are a stunning favourite too.

The beauty and the colour, the distant, mountain view.

A place of peace, a haven from the throng, the madding crowd, To visit is a tonic. Sounds of silence, hilltop cloud.

A trip on Puffing Billy's a great way to take a look At glorious hills and bushland tracks from Belgrave to Gembrook.

Picnic at Emerald Lakeside Park, stretch your legs and then Board the famous steam train back to Belgrave town again.

Kalorama's stunning views, Olinda's shops and stores, Sassafras for tea and cake ... The choices are all yours!

There's a peaceful lake at Birdsland. You can walk the Gully's trail.

There's Pirianda Gardens... More? Try Cloudehill or Tindale!

Burrinja Gallery for art, Grant's Picnic Ground for birds, Ridge Road has panoramic views; this place is beyond words.

It has to be experienced, this glorious countryside.

We've heaven on our doorstep - just take a look outside...

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Let's hear it for Len Yarra Ranges Council stalwart Len Cox received a gift from the heart - and the scrap heap - at the Tuesday 9 April council meeting.

The Monbulk Men's Shed hand crafted a wooden sign for the veteran councillor in honour of his 35 years in local government.

They salvaged and recycled the wood from hard waste collection and used the large black letters L, E and N from an old shire library.

Mayor Tony Stevenson presented the name plaque with his congratulations to Cr Cox and to Crs Noel Cliff and Terry Avery, who'll this year notch up 20 and 15 years on council respectively.

"Just in case any of you don't know who I am," Cr Cox said, placing the marker on the desk in front of him with a chuckle.

Mount Evelyn Street Party organisers have announced the date for this year's bash - Sunday 27 October.

"You've got plenty of time to polish up your dancing shoes, choose an outfit and organise the gang for a rockin' day of fun, fun, fun. " What's that town again?

Mayor Tony Stevenson made a rare slip of the tongue at the Tuesday 9 April Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

Talking about how positive the Healesville Structure Plan would be for the town, he mistakenly said the plan would be great for Warburton.

"You've brainwashed me Cr Child," he said after his colleagues pointed out the error.

"I'll wash my mouth out."

Request for seal Yarra Ranges Council accepted a request to seal Clements Avenue and Verona Street in Belgrave South at the Tuesday 9 April meeting.

Councillors referred the 31-signature petition to the relevant staff for further action.

It's a miracle!

An item was removed from the Yarra Ranges Council meeting agenda last-minute on Tuesday 9 April.

Councillor Noel Cliff had submitted a request for a leave of absence after missing the past three council meetings due to ill health.

Thankfully he was well enough to make it on Tuesday so the motion was not needed.

All the best for a speedy recovery, Noel! mailcommunity.com.au

IN BRIEF Information needed

Shaving the day

Belgrave and Olinda Police are seeking information about a cannabis crop found along the Dandenong Creek Track in the Dandenong Ranges National Park in January.

Olinda Police told the Mail that 15 mature plants, all more than nine metres in height, were found only 50 metres off the Dandenong Creek Track.

Police want to speak to a man described as clean shaven and aged between 30 and 40 years old with short, dark hair. He was wearing blue tradesman pants with reflective tape.

Anyone with information should call Senior Constable Wall at Olinda Police on 9751 1241 or make an anonymous submission to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

By Derek Schlennstedt Dr. Peter Van Orsouw is getting the snip but, it's not what you think.

The Belgrave South Veterinary Clinic veterinarian is getting luscious long locks lopped off at the Australian Veterinary Association National Conference in Perth next month, to raise funds for Vets Beyond Borders (VBB).

His hair will then also be donated to people who have lost theirs through cancer or Alopecia.

Mr Van Orsouw said that for the past four years he has been growing a luxurious mane of hair with the primary view of raising funds for VBB. His fundraising goal is $5,000 and he kicked it off with a personal donation of $500.

If he reaches that goal, he said he'll go for the clean 'No. 1 romper stomper look', much to his wife's chagrin.

"As a vet you're often very busy, and in September 2014 I was just struggling to get to the hair dresser and I thought 'I've been having the same haircut for 40 years so perhaps it's time for a change,'" he said.

"So I let it grow a little bit.

"It's long enough now to donate for wig making, and as someone lucky enough to be over 50 and still able to grow hair I figured why not give it to someone else who needs it."

All of the funds raised will go towards Vets Beyond Borders, an international charity based in Australia that deploys volunteer vet-

Thirsty work

Belgrave South Veterinarian Dr. Peter Van Orsouw will be raising money for Vets Beyond Borders and cutting his hair to donate to people who have lost theirs through cancer or Alopecia. erinarians, veterinary nurses and other animal welfare workers across the globe to deliver animal health and community awareness programs where they are desperately needed.

Dr Van Orsouw is a new member of VBB and eager to volunteer somewhere around the world. But first, he needs a haircut.

"I've always wanted to volunteer at Vets Beyond Borders, but it's been a matter of never having enough time to give so if I can raise money for them that the next best thing because by improving the health of animals in other countries you can also improve people's health."

Decision on detention: roadside lobbying

By Derek Schlennstedt Since November 2017 a small group of local women have congregated at the Belgrave roundabout with signs which say 'Honk for Humanity,' 'Bring them Here,' 'Justice 4 Refugees,' 'Shut Down Manus and Nauru,' and 'Kids Off All Off'.

The group was created in response to the Manus siege in 2017 when Manus Island was decommissioned, leaving many refugees without a place to stay.

In the lead-up to the Federal Election, those women are ramping up their efforts and have now begun lobbying in Lilydale.

Prue Licht, a Belgrave resident and a retired social worker told the Mail that that the response from public, particularly in Belgrave has been largely positive.

We Started 18 months ago with a walk kindred had a walk down the main street and we decided we'd stand on the roundabout, went onto the roundabout and continued to stand on the roundabout, We've counted toots and waves ever since we've started and they've gradually gone up and in Belgrave they've gone up to 537 last weekend- that's the highest it's ever been, so obviously there's a lot of support.

"Everyone's been hugely supportive," Prue said.

Two thirsty young thieves allegedly pinched a 24 pack of lemonade from Woolworths in Belgrave.

Police said the duo, aged between 18 and 25 years, attended the store on 4 March and left with the soft drink without paying.

They said one was wearing a black shirt, khaki shorts and work boots and the other was wearing blue shorts, black shoes and a flannelette shirt.

Anyone with information should call Constable Gommers at Belgrave Police on 9754 6677.

Urban exploration Cardinia CIU detectives are investigating a series of criminal damage incidents in Emerald.

Police allege that in the early hours of 11 March, three vandals attended a vacant property and used bolt cutters and a tyre lever to forced open a door.

Once inside, an alarm sounded and caused them to flee.

It is believed that two of those involved might have attended the property multiple times prior to this incident.

Detectives believe these offences are linked to an activity called urban exploration, where people attend vacant buildings to take photographs and look around.

They are reminding people that it is an offence to break into properties and cause damage, even if only to take photos.

n the lead-up to the Federal Election, the women at Belgrave roundabout have begun lobbying in Lilydale.

Everyone it seems, except the federal members.

"We have approached politicians for some time to talk to them, Jason wood has spoken to us and we've been to Tony Smiths office but haven't been able to see him."

To emphasise their message many of the women have set up at the corner of Anderson and Maroondah Highway in Lilydale - which is closer to the centre of the Casey electorate.

"About three weeks ago we realised what a huge part of the electorate Lilydale is ... last time we were there I counted cars and I got

4000 an hour and I know I missed a few, whereas in Belgrave we average 16-1700 an hour," said Irene Day "The few times we've been there the numbers have certainly grown in recognition and you can see them riving past and reading."

Prue Licht said that if the government fails to address the issue at the next election, it's likely that the group will continue to protest.

"It doesn't matter who's in power, we'll be there until everyone's out of detention ... it's immoral, it's cruel and inhumane."

Microchip your cats, free Animal Aid is a place of refuge for the lost, unwanted and abandoned animals in our community.

We work diligently to reunite lost pets and give a first-rate second chance to homeless animals.

When an animal comes through our doors, we do our best to learn as much as we can about them.

The very first thing we will do is scan them for a microchip - if they are ‘chipped’ and the owner’s details are up to date we are able to quickly and easily contact the owner.

When much-loved pets arrive at Animal Aid, we can tell they have been well cared for and know their family will be desperate to have

aid Mark Menze Animal Aid CEO them home - yet they aren’t microchipped and the shelter team has no way to contact their family.

With one simple procedure pet owners can ensure that if their pet is lost, they will be noti-

fied quickly and their furry friend will be back in their arms in no time.

In 2018, Animal Aid received 2528 dogs and 2689 cats into our care.

Of those, 83 per cent of dogs were reclaimed by owners, most within 48 hours.

Sadly, only 18 per cent of cats found their way home.

This is primarily due to the number of cats in our community lacking microchips.

When your cat is microchipped and your details are up to date, you can be sure if they go missing you will be in the best position to have them home safely.

Having your cat microchipped is a legal requirement and, moreover, it truly is the best

thing to do for your peace of mind and your cat’s safety.

Animal Aid is actively addressing the number of unidentified cats in our community by offering free microchipping for up to two cats or kittens to residents of the Yarra Ranges, Maroondah, Knox, Whitehorse, Murrindindi councils.

Our experienced veterinary team will deliver this quick and painless microchipping process within minutes, and you will have comfort knowing if the worst were to happen, your cat would soon be back at home.

If your cat is not yet microchipped, please take up this free offer.

Bookings are essential. Please call our clinic on 9739 0500 to book or to inquire further.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with David Cloke former Australian Rules Footballer

What is something people don't know about you?

"Well, when I first went down to play football at Richmond, back as a 16-year-old, I got told to go away because I was too small. I was lucky though because I was a late grower, and grew about 8 inches in nine months as a 16-year-old kid.

What is your most memorable moment in football?

Playing in premierships is always pretty special. I was lucky enough to play in the 1974 and 1980 premierships on the winning side for Richmond. Being able to be involved in those and winning those grand finals, they're great memories.

Do you have a stand-out game?

In the 1980 premiership I kicked six goals in the grand final which was pretty special. Then, in my last game playing Carlton at the MCG I kicked eight goals in my last game and retired.

So that was a really great way to retire and will always be a highlight of my careers.

What would your final meal be?

Probably some crays. Yeah, a nice feed of crayfish would be nice.

What is youf favourite TV show?

I like watching the big bang theory and a lot of the shows on the discovery channel.

Do you enjoy other sports, apart from football?

I enjoy all sports and always have, I grew up playing cricket and football and from a really young age I've always been involved.

What keeps your passion for footy alive?

It's always been in my life. I played and coached for over 20 years and then my boys came through playing it and it went on another 17 years so there's a good 40 years odd involvement and I love the sport, the people and I still go to matches today.

How have you found today's Warburton Golf day?

It's been a great day today, I didn't play cause I'm not much of a golfer but I've met a lot of new people today, and in the end we are all working for one thing - to raise a bit of money for a great cause, the variety bash.

Budget rate hikes out for comment

By Derek Schlennstedt

By Casey Neill Ryrie Ward ratepayers will face the biggest rates hike, according to the Yarra Ranges Council draft 2019-'20 budget.

The State Government capped the shire's average rate rise at 2.5 per cent.

But rates are based on property valuations, so some ratepayers will see higher increases while others will see a drop.

The average valuation in Ryrie increased 4.77 per cent, so rates in the likes of Healesville and Yarra Glen will increase an average 6.61 per cent.

Melba Ward valuations went backwards 3.66 per cent, so rates there will drop 1.64 per cent on average.

Chirnside and Walling rates will also drop.

The average residential valuation increased 0.48 per cent On farming properties, the average rate rise will be 4.61 per cent.

Commercial property rates will increase by 3.79 per cent across the shire and industrial property rates are to rise 5.36 per cent.

"What we're looking for tonight is for council to start the process," Councillor Jim Child said at the Tuesday 9 April Yarra Ranges Council meeting.

"Our community can have an input.

"I think it's important that our community knows how we're managing our future."

The council proposed spending $2.26 million on drainage and $3.69m on footpaths and cycle ways.

There's $16.64m allocated for parks and open space and $6.79m for recreational, leisure and

The council has worked to secure a lower energy rate and is switching to energy-efficient lamps in public lighting, to drive down energy costs and reduce environmental footprint.

Cr Stevenson said the council also negotiated a cheaper price for processing recyclables from kerbside collection so its waste charge would stay the same.

"Despite recent pressures on the recycling industry, no recyclables collected in Yarra Ranges will go to landfill," he said.

Copies of the draft budget, proposed council plan and long term financial plan are available online for community comment at yarraranges. vic.gov.au.

"The works being done this year on the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination, the Yarra Valley Trail and The RidgeWalk will be supported by the budget, drawing on local funding and federal and state grants," Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

"It's also important to highlight the breadth of the works we do and the projects that will make day-to-day life easier for our residents.

"In the hills, we have a number of drainage projects in places like Waratah Avenue in Belgrave, Kallista-Emerald Road and Portman Road in The Patch and Hume Lane in Mount Dandenong, among others areas, which we know are well-needed by residents."

The budget will allow the council to deliver more than 120 services.

It includes $3.9m for libraries, $1.6m for maternal and child health and immunisation services, $1.8m for maintaining aquatic facilities and more.

Member for Monbulk, James Merlino MP, has encouraged residents in the Monbulk region to nominate an outstanding early childhood teacher or organisation for a Victorian Early Years Award.

Now in their 14th year, the Victorian Early Years Awards recognise the crucial work early childhood professionals do towards improving the lives of young children.

Mr Merlino encouraged families, early childhood professionals and early years support organisations to nominate themselves or others who are dedicated to helping young children to learn and thrive.

"Monbulk is home to many passionate and caring early childhood teachers and educators, and exceptional early years services," Mr Merlino said.

"The Victorian Early Years Awards are a well-deserved opportunity to celebrate the people, organisations and services that help Victorian children to get the best start in life."

Award winners in each category will receive up to $15,000 to continue their exceptional work in kindergartens, schools, local councils, maternal child and health services and other early years organisations across the state.

The awards celebrates the achievements and commitment of early childhood professionals across seven award categories, including supporting parents, transition to school and the early childhood teacher of the year.

Nominations close at midnight on 24 May 2019. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the National Gallery of Victoria in October. For more information or to submit a nomination, see: www.education.vic.gov.au/veya.

Government diabetes flip

By Derek Schlennstedt Kalorama resident Jackson Sinclair is one of thousands of people with type 1 diabetes left disappointed after the Federal Government failed to meet its commitment to fund "revolutionary" Flash Glucose Monitoring technology from 1 March.

Speaking to the Mail, Mr Sinclair said he was one of more than 200,000 people ignored by the Federal Government in a petition to subsidise Flash Glucose Monitoring for people with insulin-dependent diabetes.

In Mr Sinclair's federal electorate of Casey, there are more than 789 people living with type 1 diabetes - well above the national average.

The condition affects over 120,000 people in Australia and Flash Glucose Monitoring replaces intrusive, disruptive and painful, routine finger prick tests with a quick one-second scan of a sensor on a person's arm that displays the current glucose reading.

Mr Sinclair said it costs approximately $2,400 a year out of his pocket to use Flash Glucose Monitoring and said that although he would not have benefited from the subsidy- as he did not fit the restrictive criteria, he told the Mail he was disappointed that no one had access to the life-changing technology.

"I am devastated that Flash Glucose Monitoring is not subsidised. I have family and friends with type 1 diabetes who were really

hoping to be able to use the device," he said.

"That pool of people who were expecting subsidy must be shattered."

Without proper management, people with diabetes run the risk of long-term complications and premature death that can result from prolonged periods of high glucose levels.

Mr Sinclair said that since using the technology it has been easier to monitor his glucose levels.

He called on his local member of parliament, Tony Smith MP, to support people with diabetes and have Flash Glucose Monitoring subsidised.

It’s time for your flu shot

2019 FEDERAL ELECTION – CANDIDATE INFORMATION SESSIONS

Record quantities of the flu vaccine will be available to protect Victorians this year.

Health Minister Jenny Mikakos is encouraging Victorians to get their flu shot ahead of winter and do their part to stop the spread of flu.

More than two million free vaccinations are expected to be administered before the flu season takes hold.

"We're making the flu shot free for kids under five, because vaccination is safe, effective and it saves lives," Ms Mikakos said.

More than 48,000 Victorians were diagnosed with influenza in 2017, and 11,612 last year.

Flu diagnoses this year are triple what they were at the same time last year.

"You never forget the flu, so don't forget your flu shot," Ms Mikakos said.

"Coming down with the flu is not like catching a cold.

"It hits you quickly and hard, and it can last for weeks.

"And for some people, it can be deadly."

Victorians can also get their flu shot at a participating pharmacy without the need to visit a doctor.

Pregnant women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Victorians with a chronic condition are also eligible for a free flu vaccination as part of the National Immunisation Program.

Victorians over the age of 65 are also covered.

Flu symptoms can include a sudden high fever, headache, body aches and feeling extremely weak or tired.

There will be a federal election of Members of the House of Representatives and Senators to the 46th Parliament on Saturday 18 May 2019.

To nominate as a candidate in the federal election a person must be 18 years of age or older, an Australian citizen and entitled to be an elector able to vote in federal electoral events.

In addition, a nominee must ensure and declare that they are not disqualiied by section 44 of the Australian Constitution.

The Australian Electoral Commission will be holding a number of local candidate information sessions to assist people interested in nominating as candidates for the federal election.

Sessions will give an overview of the electoral process, including nomination procedures.

Visit www.aec.gov.au/candidate-sessions for details of your local information session.

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATION CHECKLIST The nomination process for people wishing to stand as a candidate now includes a qualiication checklist that must be completed for the nomination to be accepted.

The qualiication checklist relates to a candidate’s eligibility to be elected to Parliament under section 44 of the Australian Constitution. It includes a number of mandatory questions and requires documentation in response to any claim that an intending candidate has made regarding the renunciation or loss of foreign citizenship.

Candidates’ qualiication checklists and additional documents will be published on the AEC website following the declaration of nominations for the election.

Enrol to vote

Voting is compulsory for Australian citizens aged 18 years and over. If you don’t vote, you may be prosecuted.

If you vote more than once it is a criminal offence.

Anyone unsure of their status can check online via the AEC website or call 13 23 26.

"A record 96.5 per cent of eligible Australians are currently enrolled, which is an extraordinary achievement," Mr Rogers said.

"At the same time, there are still people who remain unenrolled who need to take action before the deadline."

The best and quickest way to enrol or update details is to visit www.aec.gov.au.

Australians unable to go online can pick up a paper enrolment form at any AEC office or Australia Post.

Scholarship for young exchangee

By Derek Schlennstedt A student at Monash University with a passion for Commerce and Law is one of 38 young Australians to be awarded a Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship.

Ferntree Gully local, Yilin Fan was awarded a Future Leaders scholarship earlier this year, from the Westpac Scholars Trust and as a result will spend up to a year at the Tsinghua University, China.

Speaking to the Mail, Yilin (23) said the scholarship will help to further her studies, and that she was humbled to have been one of 38 in the country to receive the scholarship.

"In high school I was exposed to economics and I really enjoyed just how relevant it was and I gravitated towards those subjects as I was quite intrigued."

"The breadth you're able to cover and it opens your mind up to a lot ... . not so much what you learn it's how you think and how you approach things.

"I really like how relevant it is and how it can create an impact."

Yilin said she hopes her time abroad will allow her to better understand a culture and environment different from her own.

"Naturally there's a curiosity to discover beyond our university and study at other universities in a different environment," she said.

"I come from a Chinese background but I'm not familiar with the cultural aspects and I think with Australia's position in the Asia Pacific region for the future, it's a great opportunity to visit and learn more."

The Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship, awards undergraduates who are passionate about strengthening ties between Australia and Asia $12,000 towards their studies.

Yilin will be given the opportunity to study

Ferntree Gully local, Yilin Fan will spend up to a year at the Tsinghua University, China as part of a Westpac scholarship. for up to a year at a leading Asian university and while she is excited to learn about a new culture, she said was also looking forward to

the food.

"I'm excited to travel around and pretty excited for the food too," she joked.

The magic park bus

By Derek Schlennstedt Parks Victoria is excited to announce the commencement of a new garden tour experience for the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens.

Starting on 8 April, a new open-air electric vehicle will be available to tour the garden and the vehicle seats up to 13 people.

This new shuttle service offers a significant expansion of services to what was previously available, and in contrast to prior seasonal tours this will be available year-round, allowing visitors to experience guided excursions of the gardens and learn more about the unique setting.

District Manager for Parks Victoria Victoria Purdue said that this new service was a unique and valuable way of experiencing the gardens.

"Parks Victoria's new Garden Tour people mover at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden will provide a valuable experience and unique service to garden visitors," Ms Purdue said.

"It will allow people with limited mobility to enjoy and explore the wider garden environment, including parts of the garden they may not otherwise see. It can also provide a unique experience and overview of the property for time-limited visitors."

The 100 acres of Victoria's cool-climate botanic garden are host to a significant variety of plant species, with visitors enjoying a blend of coloured blooms of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, cherries and daffodils. Currently the gardens welcome 190,000 people per year.

The gardens will be enjoyed by a greater number of visitors with this new shuttle, which allows for people of all ages and abilities to see even more of the park.

The service is similar to popular attractions in the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Christchurch Botanic Garden and Singapore's 'Gardens By The Bay.' Garden Tour tickets are available from the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden Gift Shop or can be pre-booked by contacting the Gift Shop staff on (03) 8427 2087 (10am-4:30pm daily).

Doors open for women to take on AFL coaching

By Derek Schlennstedt When Olinda Ferny Creek Junior Football Club fielded a girl's football team four years ago, no one expected it to grow to three full teams and over 60 registered members.

Recently, the club has not only shown that it is committed to junior girls football but also to building a new generation of women coaches to inspire and mentor them.

Olinda Ferny Creek Junior Football Club (OFCHFC) President Patrick Ford said the club recently made the decision to have three women coaching the junior girls' teams, following the popularity of female football.

"We embarked on a junior girls football program three or four years ago and it's really continued to grow," he said."We started with four girls on the ground and now we've got very

healthy numbers and probably 60—70 registered junior girls."

"Getting women coaches in has just been a natural evolution and I think the girls love it."

With the success of the AFLW, it's been clear that the push for women's and girl's football at a grassroots level - particularly in the Dandenong Ranges - has been significant.

Karina Gowan currently coaches the Under-12's team and although has no prior experience in coaching said she was relishing the opportunity.

"I think it's really important to have female role models and that's what the club was going for," she said.

"It demonstrates to the girls you can go out of your comfort zone and that it's good to do so ... I've played netball and am used to competi-

tive sport but I really went outside my comfort zone to take on this position.

"There's definitely an appetite for girls footy and it's clearly growing and that's why it's really important to have females in leadership positions."

President Patrick Ford said he expected the growth in women's football to continue.

"I think you'll find the growth has been continual and there certainly no sign of it sopping particular when the clubs start looking at introducing senior teams," he said.

"Here at OFCJFC we're just really really pleased to offer our coaches this opportunity and start their coaching careers."

Olinda Ferny Creek Junior Football Club currently has three junior girls' teams, - under 12's, '14's and 16's.

The screens that divide us

By Robert Kelly, Technology Teacher It’s a debate that divides opinion. How much is too much? From looking at our mobile devices and computer monitors in the workplace to watching television or using an iPad at home, it’s now almost impossible to avoid screen time.

It is the way we live our 21st century lives as we are surrounded by artificial screens and digital displays of all shapes and sizes - all of which are emitting potentially dangerous levels of light energy.

The question on many people’s minds now is, are we doing enough to enforce limitations on our children’s screen time? As school has just resume for thousands of children around the country, now is a good time to set boundaries and to shine a (natural) light on the situation at home and in the classroom.

Restricting a child’s screen time at home and school can be challenging for parents and educators alike. I have seen children have meltdowns and screaming fits because they are told they cannot use an iPad or computer in the classroom. Forget 1927’s pop song “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream“ - as “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for iScreens“ is more appropriately in sync with today’s youth.

However, setting boundaries and rules pertaining to screen time for children at home will help them develop other important life skills - as will completing chores, outdoor activities and advanced social interactions. At school, educators are encouraged to promote student engagement in differentiated ways - balancing a student’s learning across a technological and non-technological tightrope of subjects. Balance is key.

So, what is an acceptable amount of screen time for children? Experienced primary school

Controlling kids' screen time is a constant battle for parents. teacher and parent blogger, Fiona Froelich suggests that children between the age of five and 10 should not be exposed to screens for more than an hour a day, while children between the age of 10 and 12 should not be exposed to any form of digital technology for more than two hours a day.

For parents with infants, it is recommended by the World Health Organsiation that they avoid using technology altogether, as this is an

important time for their social and emotional development. The World Health Organisation is also considering endorsing new guidelines, developed by Australian and Canadian researchers, as its official endorsements to parents.

As we become increasingly dependent on technology, more time is spent looking at screens. Thanks to contemporary research, we know that long-term exposure to artificial light can not only negatively impact sight, but also

OPEN DAYS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

St Joseph’s provide a Salesian education that inspires dynamic learning.

Thriving in time of change academically and emotionally.

One of the hallmarks of St Joseph's College is the homeroom pastoral care structure. From the beginning of Year 7, every boy can be confident in the fact that he is known.

The school believes that every parent can take comfort in the knowledge that there are a team of supporters who gather round each boy and nurture his wellbeing.

Level coordinators and school counsellors

have worked tirelessly to ensure that the social/emotional needs of boys are met. These people and others have spent much of their time encouraging in the boys an attitude of optimism and a conviction that life is fundamentally worthwhile.

The educative programs provided by St Joseph's continue to grow and flourish.

The school believes that one of the most significant aspects of this has been the development of increased pathway options for the

boys. The college is always looking for ways to provide increased opportunities for students to find their individual pathway.

Staff aim to deliver on what they refer to as 'pathways for all'. This is a concept whereby students are assisted to find pathways to University, TAFE and Training or to employment.

St Joseph's is located at 5 Brenock Park Drive in Ferntree Gully. For more information, phone 9758 2000 or visit stjosephs.com.au.

It's not too late to complete your secondary education this year.

There is still time to complete VCAL Senior (Year 12) in 2019. Mountain District Learning Centre (MDLC) in Ferntree Gully has places available in the Year 12 VCAL program.

VCAL is a hands-on option for students in Years 10, 11 and 12. VCAL provides practical work-related experience, as well as literacy and numeracy skills and the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for life and work.

Just like VCE, VCAL is an accredited senior secondary school qualification. VCAL is the ideal pathways to TAFE and can open up many opportunities for further education, career development and skill building.

Some young people find they disengage from secondary education when doing either Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) before they complete their qualification. This can be due to missing days of school and struggling to catch up or sometimes through the pressure of completing a secondary education certificate.

There are options available for young people to re-connect with education and the MDLC VCAL program is one of them.

Access to alternative education programs gives some young people a chance to re-start and go on to complete their secondary education.

The environment at MDLC is highly supportive, with small classes, a relaxed environment, highly experienced teachers and a youth worker on site to help provide ideas and advice.

At MDLC we take rolling enrolments throughout the year, so young people can re-

gage with education since 2016. Now, MDLC has teamed up with CIRE services and Swinburne to continue offering Reconnect in the Outer East.

Anyone who has not completed Year 12 or a Certificate II level course, is between the ages of 17 and 64 and not currently enrolled in edu-

cation can be supported to access education with Reconnect funding.

Now is a great time to get yourself back into gear and continue your education!

ANZAC DAY

Now it’s building the RSL

By Derek Schlennstedt "It's no longer save the RSL, it's build the RSL," said Upwey-Belgrave RSL president David Eaton.

And build, they have. In recent years, the Upwey-Belgrave RSL has continued to grow from strength to strength - and with the construction of a new asphalt car park and a paint change it's easy to see why this beloved RSL continues to grow and flourish.

This year the RSL will be putting on another one of their famous Anzac Day services and

President David Eaton said the march may even include an original jeep from the Vietnam war.

"On Anzac day itself we'll be doing a dawn service at 6am and then having a gunfire breakfast ... McDonalds are helping us out with that so we'll have a couple hundred egg McMuffins coming," he said.

"The orange bowls will be here for the kids and then at 9:30am we'll be forming up for the march at Upwey, and we'll be getting back here at 10 for the service."

In a first for the RSL, both services will be screened live on YouTube for those veterans

and residents who may not be able to make it on the day.

The Belgrave-Upwey RSL Anzac Day commemorations are one of the best in the hills, and Mr Eaton made special note of the Anzac Day dinner which will be held at the RSL on Saturday, 27 April.

"This year it is 100 years since the treaty of Versailles was signed which ended the first world war ... we will be doing a special fourcourse dinner, but the menu is a secret," he said."We'll have flags there, a piper organised, a guest veteran speaker from Afghanistan and as I say it's an outstanding meal."

Although the menu is yet to be released, Head Chef Grant Leech said patrons could expect some classic Australian food.

"The theme for this year is Australia at home," said Mr Leech "It is a secret but I will let one slip ... there is Vegemite somewhere in the menu."

The Belgrave Upwey dawn service will be held from 6am in Upwey, at 1 Mast Gully Road, followed by a gunfire breakfast at 6.30am. A march will begin at 9.45am from Main Street to the RSL, followed by a 10am service.

To see the livestream of the services, simply visit the Upwey-Belgrave RSL.

ADVERTISEMENT

This Anzac Day we should all take the time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of many brave Australians.

We should acknowledge the sacrifices of generations of these men and women and give thanks to all those Australians who served and fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Their legacy has helped shape our national identity and should never be forgotten.

ANZAC DAY

RSL services

By Derek Schlennstedt Anzac Day, which falls on April 25, 2019, is the national day of remembrance and commemoration for the Australian servicemen and women who died during the 1915 landing at Gallipoli, Turkey, in World War I. On 25 April 1915, the brave soldiers of Australia and New Zealand landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, entering into their first battle with the intent to capture and secure a safe passage for Allied forces. The valour and determination displayed by the Anzacs will live on and every years Anzac Day services are held throughout the Yarra Ranges on Monday 25 April, recognising the sacrifice made by generations of Australians at war.

For many, the day will start with the dawn service, followed by a gunfire breakfast.

Marches and reunions, and the game of two-up will continue a long tradition of commemoration, and residents and visitors of all ages are invited to join RSL members at the services listed below: Upwey-Belgrave A dawn service will be held from 6am in Upwey, at 1 Mast Gully Road, followed by a gunfire breakfast at 6.30am. A march will begin at 9.45am from Main Street to the RSL, followed by a 10am service.

Mount Evelyn Mount Evelyn's dawn service will begin at 5.45am at Mount Evelyn War Memorial Park, on the corner of Wray Crescent and Birmingham Road, followed by a free community breakfast.

Two-up for those in need For 21 years the Mount Evelyn RSL Sub-Branch and the York on Lilydale Hotel have been in a community partnership to provide the traditional game of two-up locally every Anzac Day. Money raised at the event goes to the RSL's welfare fund to support returned and services people and their dependants in need.

The two-up event has always included a sausage sizzle and raffle as well as the traditional gambling game.

A designated spinner throws two coins into the air.

Players bet on whether the coins will fall with both heads up, both tails up, or with one coin a head and one a tail.

The RSL also holds an Anzac Day ceremony during the day.

The event has raised thousands of dollars for the RSL's welfare funds and programs over the past two decades.

As a result, the sub-branch applied to RSL Victoria to present the York on Lilydale with an RSL Victoria award for its support and the funds the venue has raised for veteran welfare.

ENTERTAINMENT

Exhibition runs all May

By Derek Schlennstedt Principal Art Gallery Sherbrooke Gallery has announced that the Streeton Roberts McCubbin Exhibition will be held Friday 3 May through to Sunday 26 May. The exhibition is one of the longest continuous annual art events in the Dandenong Ranges region, and consists of, over 70 artists exhibiting over 140 works of art utilising a range of mediums including; oils, acrylic, pastels and watercolour.

Held in high-esteem by both the local and wider community, the exhibition boasts hundreds of visitors each year, with the number of visitors continually growing.

The exhibition is open to all artists, and attracts entries from high-profile artists and established hobby artists alike, with prizes awarded for the best paintings Amongst these prizes are the, Sir Arthur Streeton Award for Best Landscape, the Tom Roberts Award for Best Non-Landscape and the Frederick McCubbin Award for Best Small Painting.

Winning a Streeton, Roberts or McCubbin Award is considered a prestigious addition to the CV of any artist.

This Free event will be held at Sherbrooke Art Society’s Gallery located at 62 Monbulk Road in Belgrave Victoria.

From left; It Hao Pheh and president of the Sherbrooke Arts Society, Eve Clemence invite people to apply for the Streeton Roberts Mc Cubbin awards exhibition.

Pay matinee, not hell Hellboy Starring David Harbour, Milla Jovovich and Ian McShane Rated R18+ Hellboy is an entertaining but unfocused supernatural action movie.

Hellboy (David Harbour), a demon agent of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, must fight to prevent the rise of the evil sorceress Nimue (Milla Jovovich).

Harbour admirably fills the shoes of Ron Perlmann from the earlier Hellboy films, playing a gruff, short-tempered being with a dry sense of humour, a big heart and deep anxiety about his place in the world. Sasha Lane plays plucky spirt medium Alice, with whom Hellboy has an endearing sibling-like relationship, and Ian McShane is ever charming as Hellboy’s tough-love father Trevor.

Hellboy features some solid character development: Hellboy grapples with his apoca-

lyptic destiny, and agent Ben (Daniel Dae Kim) gradually learns to trust Hellboy through their teamwork in adversity. The narrative also contains some clever foreshadowing.

But while Hellboy is efficient in some plot areas, it’s lazy in others.

Nimue’s machinations feel rushed, the twists about certain characters’ motivations are extremely obvious, and Hellboy’s unease about his monstrous origins is resolved too quickly to carry much weight. The film also relies far too heavily on flashbacks; building characters repeatedly through cutaways to past events ends up distancing us from those characters in the present.

The action sequences, while well-choreographed and striking a balance between gory and goofy, are cut too quickly and framed poorly.

Hellboy has fun characters, effective foreshadowing and a dark, offbeat vibe marred by rushed pacing and badly-shot action.

QUIDDITY THE ESSENCE OF THINGS SECLUDED on almost 11 acres in Olinda is Quiddity, a country estate that has never before been offered to the market.

It has two architect-designed, environmentally-sensitive yet sophisticated bespoke residences.

The sweeping tree-lined drive leads past the classic American-style barn to the main house with its vertical timbers, expansive windows and French doors, broad verandahs and its sense of belonging in the landscape.

The main home has 38 squares of luxurious living with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, beautifully-proportioned living spaces, an extensive attic and a wellappointed, streamlined kitchen with bench timbers originating from an old pier, and the integrated refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher hiding behind white cabinetry.

Attention to detail is evident everywhere at Quiddity, the agent says.

Everything has been meticulously

designed, including the elegant steel and timber staircase, the large open fireplace flanked by bookshelves in the living room, the handcrafted wall lights and the unique hand-forged handles on all cabinetry.

Quiddity exudes the warmth of a country home, the agent says.

The house is relaxed and flexible and flows easily between levels.

The agent says it could well suit a busy and/or extended family, or simply a professional couple working from home seeking a peaceful and private place.

Built with a commitment to being environmentally-sensitive, it has recycled timber and double glazing throughout, extensive insulation and passive solar elements.

Externally, the garden pathways meander through beautifully landscaped gardens with dry stone walls and mature plantings and then continue through the native bush.

One path leads to a bridge over a

natural spring-fed creek, whose banks are frequented by the abundant wildlife and birds that populate the hills.

Garden ‘rooms’ create peaceful places to sit and read or soak in the beauty of the landscape, the agent says.

Rolling lawns have scattered ancient trees and, in spring, a carpet of daffodils.

Close to the main house is a private, solar-heated swimming pool surrounded by seating areas and providing a water view from the master bedroom balcony.

Tucked away in its own garden is a twobedroom, self-contained cottage with open fireplace, currently providing accommodation to a very happy tenant.

Coonara Springs restaurant is within an easy stroll and with Olinda village and the Yarra Valley close by, the agent says Quiddity’s new owner will never never isolated, yet will feel worlds away from the everyday pressures of life. ●

Second-round stunners

By Matthew Fotia The AFL Outer East Round One hit hard, with plenty of great games and some interesting boil-overs.

In the Premier Division, Wandin and Berwick played out an absolute classic with the Dogs winning by 10 points, 22.9.141 to 19.17.131.

Daniel Gorringe kicked six goals in his Wandin debut, while small forward Harrison Money kicked another bag of five to bring his season tally to nine.

Elsewhere, Cranbourne overran Beaconsfield, Upwey-Tecoma dismissed Healesville and Narre Warren's eight goal to none opening term was enough to get over Olinda Ferny Creek, with Daniel Jackson kicking seven.

Division One saw a tight contest between

Belgrave and Monbulk, where the Hawks' polish was enough to hold off the Magpies, who controlled most of the play.

The goals were shared around, with ruckman Jonathan Hevern kicking two.

Mount Evelyn sent a message with a massive win over Warburton Millgrove, while Pakenham defeated Emerald, allowing just two goals for the Bombers.

Finally in Division Two, Powelltown upset reigning premier Yarra Junction despite David Johnson kicking four goals, while Patrick Ratray kicked nine goals on his Seville debut as the Blues started off with a massive win over Yea. Meanwhile, Thornton Eildon was defeated

by Yarra Glen and Kinglake won by 27 points away from home against Gembrook-Cockatoo.

Hawks juniors are flying high against Upwey-Tecoma Monbulk Junior Football Club battled against Upwey-Tecoma on Sunday 14 April, with the girls playing Olinda-Ferny Creek.

It was another cracking day for the second round of football.

Players are beginning to come together as a team, with some fantastic results for the Hawks and Hawkettes.

Under-9 Monbulk v Upwey For a round 2 game you would think that the team had been playing together for a whole season.

The link up through the middle and spread around the contest was fantastic to watch.

Best: T. Burke, R. Sangster, H. Arnott, H. Comfort.

Under-10 Monbulk v Upwey-Tecoma The team fought the game out well.

There were some great passages of play in attack and also in defence to create a few scoring opportunities.

Best: J. Thorp, N. Brown, J. Allder, A. Sproat, R. Sangster.

Under-11 Upwey-Tecoma 1.2.8 d Monbulk 0.7.7 The Hawks made some more improvements against Upwey.

The side worked hard down back and moved the ball well, hitting targets and creating scoring chances.

Unfortunately the players didn't convert on the scoreboard, but there are plenty of positives moving forward.

Best: W. Hughson, D. Lamonica, A. Jury, B. Pratt, K. Dockery.

Under-12 Upwey-Tecoma 14.9.93 d Monbulk 1.2.8 The side took a step with its effort and integrity at the contest.

The scoreboard might not have reflected it, but they put in a physical effort to be proud of.

Best: Jai, Liam, Jarrah, Jack C, Drew E. Under-14 Monbulk 6.90.45 d Upwey-Tecoma 5.5.35 The Hawks took last week's finish into this game. mailcommunity.com.au

Jade gathers the footy ready to kick a goal.

They ran the game out and well and deserved the win.

Best: N. Rutherford, H. McConchie, L. Smith, T. Rickard, J. Defina.

Under-14 girls Monbulk 12.16.88 d Olinda Ferny Creek 0.0.0 The Hawkettes travelled to Olinda.

With numbers affected because of the

holidays, the girls needed to work extra hard, which they did and more.

They adapted to different roles, supported each other and conducted themselves brilliantly. Every player contributed to the positive result from the first gamers to the seasoned campaigners.

Best: R. Ross, R. Kelly, M. Laven, L. Judd, C. Utting.

Under-16 Monbulk 9.15.69 d Upwey-Tecoma 1.7.13 It was a small ground so there was a lot of congestion which the boys handled very well.

They moved the ball as they have trained.

Best: H. Fleming, B. Hughson, R. Finlay, P. Blandthorn.

Mixed bag results The much-anticipated AFL Outer East competition started on Saturday 13 April and the netball results were a mixed bag for Olinda Ferny Creek.

The club hosted Narre Warren for the very first time.

The day started with the 17 and under match.

The girls battled hard and improved as the game went on but were no match for a super talented Narre Warren side.

Nonetheless, it was great to see the return of 17 and under netball at the Olinda Recreation Reserve.

D-Grade was a similar story, with the girls a bit underdone against another very strong Narre Warren line up.

With a change of personnel from the 2018 side it might take the girls a few games to acclimatise.

C-Grade were right in the game half way through the second quarter but then Narre Warren stepped on the gas and powered away with a strong second-half performance.

B-Grade finally got the Bloods on the board with a solid four quarter performance that set the tone for a promising season ahead.

Bron Simpson made an outstanding debut for the club with a best on court performance, with Kirsten Andrich impressing at goal attack.

In the prelude to the A-Grade game, club captain Ashlee Howard unfurled the 2018 Premiership Flag in front of a large crowd.

The A-Grade team put on a dominant performance throughout the game and powered away to a strong first up win.

With great contributions right across the court, the side was never headed throughout the contest. Brodie Smith was outstanding in defence, Krista Tomlinson ruled the midcourt

and Ashlee Howard put on a vintage display in goal attack.

With a break for Easter, the girls take the court again on Saturday 27 April.

The 17 and under side will play Cranbourne at Casey Fields with A, B, C and D playing Upwey-Tecoma at the Upwey Recreation Reserve.

EASTER MOTORING

Timely road safety call Victorians are being asked to take extra care on the roads these Easter school holidays after a tragic start to the year.

Already this year 90 people have died on Victoria's roads, including 59 in regional areas.

This time last year that figure was 58, and 31 on regional roads.

Roads and Road Safety Minister Jaala Pulford joined Transport Accident Commission (TAC) CEO Joe Calafiore to call on Victorians to help put a stop to this tragic period and drive safely during the school holidays and Easter period.

"We are deeply concerned about the heartbreaking start to the year on our roads and one of our biggest concerns is the disproportionate number of deaths in regional areas," she said.

"We're urging all Victorians to look out for each other on the roads, plan ahead, be patient and make safe choices to ensure everyone gets to where they're going safely."

Last year Victoria recorded its lowest ever number of road deaths in a calendar year, but this year has already shown that there is no room for complacency.

"Most of the deaths on our roads this year have been a result of a simple mistake, and on a high-speed regional road, mistakes often lead to fatal consequences," Mr Calafiore said.

"Our message to motorists is to ease up and make safe decisions when they're using the roads - avoid fatigue, avoiding drink and drug driving, avoid distractions and slow down."

In an immediate bid to curb the trauma on the state's roads, Victoria Police launched Operation Kinetic - a 10-week TAC-funded operation that will add 300 road policing shifts across Victoria, with a focus on regional areas.

Stay safe on the roads this Easter.
