CONCERNS for the detrimental effects on the environment that could be caused by dredging and land clearing have seen the federal government refuse to allow the building of a terminal to assemble wind turbines to be built at Long Island Point, Hastings. Picture: Gary Sissons

Federal veto a blow to terminal plans Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THREATS to the sustainability of Western Port’s ecosystem and its international importance as a destination for migratory birds have led to the federal government knocking back plans for a terminal to assemble wind turbines at Hastings. The announcement by Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek on 18 December will be a blow to the state government which allocated $27 million in its 2023/24 budget for the offshore wind turbines to be built at Hastings. However, the state and the Port of

Hastings Corporation had acknowledge the need for an environmental effects statement (EES) process before the terminal could be built. Plibersek said the terminal as planned was “clearly unacceptable” because of “irreversible damage” Western Port’s wetlands caused by dredging “and movements of sediments and nutrients that in turn will impact the food webs of the mudflats and coastal area”. Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie said the federal government’s decision had not come as a surprise. “The Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve is one of just three in Australia,” she said.

“The proposed terminal would have involved dredging, reclaimed land, and an enormous impact on the landscape - both visually and environmentally.” The state opposition says the federal government’s veto of the project to assemble wind turbines for the “energy farms” planned about 20 kilometres off the South Gippsland coast will lead to “even higher energy prices”. “This is a debacle and Victoria’s offshore wind policy is now in tatters – meaning higher energy prices for Victorians at a time they can least afford it,” Shadow Minister for Energy, Energy Affordability and Security, David Davis, said.

“Victoria’s offshore wind policy is now back to square one. How did Victoria, and specifically the Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio, not see this coming?” The state government had previously said the terminal would be built at the Old Tyabb Reclamation Area and be equipped “for the receival, assembly and installation of offshore wind foundations, towers and turbines as a multi-user facility, with new berths, heavy duty pavements and major supporting infrastructure” (Time running out for terminal comment, The News 18/10/23). The PoHC submitted its environmental referrals to the state and federal governments for the terminal

to be built in Long Island Drive, Hastings between the existing BlueScope steelworks and Esso’s Long Island Point fractionation plant (Terminal delay could hit power targets, The News 21/8/23). Stakeholder and community relations manager Todd Trimble said the terminal “will deliver critical port capacity to meet Victoria’s offshore wind targets…” “Offshore wind assembly places unique heavy-duty operational requirement on ports, including significant land area adjacent to available berths, pavement strength and channel capacity. There is currently no port in Australia that can facilitate offshore wind assembly,” he said.

On course to lower drownings A RESCUE and resuscitation course is being run for surfers and other water users at the Yawa Aquatic Centre, Rosebud next Sunday (14 January). The free course is being jointly held by Belgravia Leisure, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Surfing Victoria in a bid to the number of reduce

drownings on the peninsula. Belgravia’s community engagement and inclusion coordinator Tom Duell said the Surfers Rescue 24/7 training program was a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course that provides training to assist in an emergency “and could ultimately save a life”.

“Surfers and board riders of all ages and abilities are responsible for saving lives every day. Even surfing’s biggest names like Kelly Slater and Australia’s Mick Fanning have endorsed the program and jumped to action when required,” he said. Register at: tinyurl.com/Yawarescue

Tutors invited to offer courses at U3A U3A Southern Peninsula is looking for tutors to run one-day, short or long educational courses for its members. “Current members are receptive and an enthusiastic audience and love anything new to engage them, we are also expecting an influx of new members,” course coordinator Rosalie Arnold said. “U3A is a volunteer run organisation of retired or semi-retired people over 50 and, while there are

no monetary incentives, sharing your interests, making new friends, and engaging within the Mornington Peninsula community is a great reward.” Arnold said no academic qualifications were required and there were no exams or graduations for the group of “like-minded friends living up to our motto Live Learn and Enjoy”. “We have a diverse range of courses including, but not limited to, art, craft,

languages, literature, indoor exercise classes, music, and discussion groups plus a variety of outdoor activities including, walking, cycling, kayaking, golf, and lawn bowls. “New tutors would be most welcome and given every assistance to enable them to share their passion.” Details: u3asouthpen.org.au or email Rosalie Arnold at courses@ u3asouthpen.org.au


Course clear for transparency hub Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is pressing ahead with investigating a publicly accessible online “transparency and integrity hub” that could cost $200,000 to $350,000. The “selected council data, stories, reports, and curated information” available on the hub follows council’s below average results from last year’s community satisfaction survey. A report to councillors by customer and transformation manager Patrick Dillon said data on the transparency and integrity hub “may” also include “detailed financial records from the council and its stakeholders; asset management data (the shire’s capital works program); procurement data, and more”. “This online hub will allow visitors to explore and visualise data, providing an overview of the shire’s decision-making and activities,” Dillon said in his report to council’s 19 December public meeting. “This will require the procurement of a suitable web-based platform to publish these datasets for open consumption. It will also require the collection, cleansing and curation of each dataset to ensure it is accurate and ready for release.” However, councillors have also

ordered a report on finding a “low cost alternative” to the $200,000 to $350,000 hub “for the implementation of transparency and integrity”. The latest effort by councillors to achieve “transparency” comes at a time when they are being criticised for negotiating a deal in secret to allow The Briars wildlife sanctuary to be used for a light show performance of Harry Potter (Thumbs down for Potter performance, Page 5, Letters Page 8). Cr Sarah Race, who successfully moved for a report into the implementation of the transparency and Integrity hub by March, said transparency, integrity and open government had been discussed “throughout this council term”. “Despite several attempts we haven’t yet found models that align with our aspirations for transparency,” she said. The hub, a “ground breaking initiative” could “redefine” the council’s relationship with the community. Trust levels between government organisations and community were declining around the world. “Rebuilding this trust requires public officials, us, to follow ethical standards and be open about our behaviour and decision making.” Cr Susan Bissinger said the recent realisation among councillors that transparency was crucial marked “a significant step forward”.

“Our community doesn’t need selective council data, stories, reports and curated information, they want transparency,” she said. “Transparency shouldn’t be about storytelling; it’s about making unaltered information easily accessible to everyone. “We need to explore cost effective models rather than adopting an expensive ready-made solution, we need to be both practical and fiscally responsible. “it’s just a matter of not hiding stuff. That’s what transparency is. And that’s what we’ve got to make sure we do well, that’s what are community wants.” Cr Despi O’Connor said storytelling on the hub was “not about making things up, it’s actually about bringing people on the journey with us, because a lot of the information is really hard to understand”. Cr David Gill said the “cheaper way would have been to agree to having our briefings elaborated on or open to the public or online”. The hub recommended by shire officers was expensive because it offered public access to data that would be selected, curated, and cleansed. “To just put up one proposal and not look at the whole way that this council operates is very short sighted,” Gill said.

Police warn about dangers at the Pillars “Far too often there have been injuries from people jumping or diving into shallow water,” a police statement read. The police also reminded visitors to take their rubbish home and “be respectful of the nature and surrounding areas”. The Pillars, a Department of Energy, Environment and Climate actionmanaged area which Mornington Peninsula Shire Council helps to maintain, is a rock formation that attracts many hundreds of visitors ever year. Visitors flock to the picturesque site every summer to jump from the rocks into the water, despite fencing being installed briefly in 2019 after a series of incidents in 2016, 2017 and 2018. POLICE are urging visitors to the Pillars at Mount Martha to be aware of the dangers of jumping from the rocks after a man was injured on Friday 5 January. The man, in his 20s, is believed to have been injured while jumping off rocks into the sea at the Pillars, a popular tourist spot that was once closed due to the risks involved and the high number of accidents. Emergency services and paramedics rushed to the scene about 4.40pm where they treated the man for neck pain and took him to Frankston Hospital. He was believed to be in a stable condition. On Monday police issued a reminder for people visiting the Pillars to “know your limitations, and the depth[ of the water]”.

Woman rescued POLICE are investigating an incident in Tootgarook involving illegal fireworks and flares on New Year’s Eve that caused significant damage to a house and left a 57-year-old woman trapped inside. Tootgarook carpenter Jon Croft is being hailed a “hero” after he raced to the burning house in Alma Street just after midnight to help the disabled occupant escape through a front window. Croft was walking with his wife Amy just after midnight when he heard fireworks and flares being let off and soon after heard calls for help coming from a house. Croft told the media he could see a woman in distress in the house and ran across the street to help her.

Confronted by flames and smoke, he had to smash a window to help the woman climb out. Assistant Commissioner Michael Granger told the media that police will allege some neighbours let go of flares and in an effort to recover those flares and look after her property the woman was injured. She was taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. Other incidents involving illegal fireworks and flares have horrified members of the public caught up in out-of-control celebrations. At Rye, a family was left “terrified” when partygoers on the pier thew firecrackers at children. One social media user posted that she was on the pier when people just started throwing flares at each other and her children. People were running and screaming,” she said. “What a disaster.” On the night, across the state Victoria police responded to 64 fireworks incidents, arrested 33 people and seized 26 weapons.

Sorrento assault POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding an assault in Sorrento on Saturday 23 December 2023. It is believed a male victim outside a venue on Ocean Beach Road was “coward” punched and knocked to the ground about 12.11am. It is also believed that the victim may have sustained a mild concussion and other potential facial injuries. Police are hoping to locate the victim to assist with further investiga-

tion into the matter as no reports were made on the evening. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Island arrest DIVISIONAL Response Unit members from Southern Metro Region have seized firearms and drugs from a rural property on French Island. Detectives went to the Mosquito Creek Road property on Thursday 4 January at about 8.30am, as part of an investigation into the illegal possession and use of firearms. A 36-year-old man was arrested before warrants were executed by detectives with support from the Dog Squad and Water Police. A search of the property uncovered 11 firearms, a large quantity of ammunition and alleged methylamphetamine and cannabis. The French Island man has been charged with various offences including unlicensed person possess unregistered firearm; unlicensed person possess registered firearm; fail to store firearms in a secure manner; possess ammunition; and possess cannabis. He has been bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 February. Police said a 39-year-old woman also spoken to at the property is expected to be processed in relation to drug related offences.

Dunkley poll a test for Labor govt CANDIDATES from the major parties for the Dunkley by-election are expected to be announced soon. Incumbent Dunkley MP Peta Murphy died from metastatic breast cancer in December. She won the seat for Labor in 2019, and retained it at the 2022 federal election. A by-election will be held to install a new federal MP. Speaker Milton Dick has yet to announce a date for the by-election which is not expected to be held until February at the earliest. Labor has yet to announce a candidate and the Liberals are expected to preselect a candidate for the seat in the next week - contenders named in the media include Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy, former Carrum MP Donna Hope, and former Carrum candidate Bec Buchanan. Dunkley was held by the Liberals for more than 20 years before Murphy’s 2019 victory. Bruce Billson was Dunkley MP between 1996 and 2016 before handing the reins to Chris Crewther. Crewther was defeated after just one term. Murphy narrowly won the seat in 2019, and expanded her margin in 2022. It is now held by Labor with a margin of 6.3 per cent. The by-election will be a test for the Albanese Labor government after it won the Aston by-election last year in what was an historic result for a sitting government. Since then it has been damaged by the defeat of the Yes campaign at the Voice referendum, and continuing cost of living pressures. The Dunkley electorate encompasses Frankston, Mount Eliza, Langwarrin, Skye, and Seaford. Brodie Cowburn

Thumbs down for Potter performance Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORE than 13,000 people had signed a petition by last weekend to stop an interactive walkthough Harry Potter event at The Briars wildlife sanctuary, Mount Martha. Residents, visitors and wildlife advocates fear Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision to allow Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience in a wildlife sanctuary will harm animals and the environment. Up to 3000 visitors are predicted to attend the event nightly during April and May. The petition started by Save Our Briars Sanctuary (SOBS) urges council to move the event away from the wildlife sanctuary. Thousands of tickets have already been sold and late last week council was “confident that the event will not harm wildlife”. The mayor Simon Brooks said the event would leave “plenty of undisturbed natural habitat space for animals” in the 90 hectare sanctuary. “Our conservation staff has worked closely with experts to understand and minimise any potential impacts to wildlife and vegetation,” he said. The show will include props, lights and sound effects throughout the 60 to 90-minute walk. It is understood the contract for the event includes a penalty clause, making it potentially costly for the shire to move the location. Brooks said an ecological consultant had been engaged to try to ensure minimal environmental impact. The council shared the community’s love for wildlife and was committed to respecting and maintaining the health of wildlife and vegetation at The Briars. Before the event was approved, a risk assess-

Picture: Gary Sissons ment “with experts” had included an evaluation of potential impacts to The Briars environment. “We have placed very strict requirements on the event organisers for the management of any potential impacts on wildlife,” Brooks said. These measures included using mostly existing paths in the sanctuary, prohibiting pedestrian access off the paths, “low” sound levels, planting at least 1000 trees after the event, and timed tickets. “Events such as this provide an important boost for our local businesses through spending at local shops, restaurants and cafes. This event will showcase our region, inspiring visitors to stay for a few days in what is generally a quiet time for our tourism sector,” Brooks said. The council estimated the flow-on economic benefits to the region to be $27 to $35 million. Wildlife carer Brenda Marmion, of Rye, said the event would panic and stress wildlife and destroy habitat. “It’s just in the wrong place for an event like

this,” she said. Frankston wildlife carer Michelle Thomas is concerned about the light show’s impact on wildlife, with visitors promised the opportunity to meet “magical creatures and cast spells” that will light up the dark woods. Mornington resident and member of the Save Our Briars Sanctuary group Louise Page said opposition to the event’s location was growing. “We know of people who bought tickets without understanding the impact on the environment, now they don’t want to go,” she said. “Of all the places to hold this event, why choose a wildlife sanctuary that has always been about protecting animals.” Page said The Briars was the peninsula’s only fenced sanctuary and included significant and fragile ecosystems. “Our local animals should feel safe here, without human interference,” she said. “Contrary to what the council say, we have mapped out the path the event takes and it goes right through the middle and through a significant part of the sanctuary. “We know that the artificial noise and lighting, and the human disturbance of the kind expected during the event will have an impact on owls, even if the event does not occur in close proximity to their roosting sites.” Details about the event were heard at a closed meeting, with councillors being asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Nine of the shire’s 11 councillors are believed to have signed the agreement. Crs David Gill and Anthony Marsh refused. “I don’t think councillors should ever be asked to enter into individual legal agreements with third parties in that capacity,” Marsh said. Marsh, the shire’s inaugural “small business champion”, said he had mixed feelings about the event, but hoped it was “appropriately planned

and managed so that we get maximum benefit … with negligible lasting impact”. Marsh and Gill’s refusal to sign a confidentiality clause meant that they were frozen out of the ongoing negotiations with the promoters of the Potter performances. Gill said his refusal to sign was about transparency. “We were being asked to sign away our rights to talk to the public about the contract negotiations. Whenever an international company says something should be confidential, I'm against it,” he said. "The officers brought this to us totally without notice, which meant responsibility [for any consequences] was transferred from them to us if we voted on it. "An agreement not to divulge information is something to be avoided like the plague." Gill said he would only sign a confidentiality agreement if required under the Local Government Act. He said councillors who signed the document continued to be provided with information and the deal eventually struck with the promoters "that will make a lot of money for the shire”. He said the council would be "liable if we try to change the site - we've signed a contract". The same event was held in Brussels last year, where protesters demanded it be moved from Groenenberg Castle due to environmental concerns. A spokeswoman for Warner Brothers said the majority of the woodlands at The Briars would remain untouched. Promotional material for the outdoor light trail, inspired by the iconic Forbidden Forest, will “have you reliving some of your favourite moments as you explore after dark the sounds, lights, and special effects that bring the wizarding world to life”.

Call for govt to Aboriginal names for provide vaccine $13m youth hub Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au PARENTS are being urged to be alert to the symptoms of meningococcal after a recent case in Frankston and another believed to be on the Mornington Peninsula. The mother of 18-year-old Lachy Wright posted on a Mount Eliza Facebook site that her son had complained of a sore throat two weeks ago and within 48 hours was fighting for his life and placed in a medically induced coma. Lisa Wright said her son was rushed to Frankston Hospital where he was diagnosed with meningococcal disease and given a five per cent chance of survival. She said the doctors and nurses at the hospital were “heroes” who saved her usually fit and healthy son’s life. Medical staff told her there needed to be changes in the current meningococcal vaccine in Victoria to save lives, with current federally financed vaccines not protecting against strain B, which is the predominant strain. While children are vaccinated for free against meningococcal strains A, C, W and Y under the National Immunisation Program, strain B is an optional vaccination that costs families up to $360 a child for multiple doses. Meningococcal bacteria are spread

by close contact. Children aged under two, adolescents and young adults between 15 and 24, smokers, and people with respiratory tract infections such as influenza and COVID-19 are at more risk. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, rashes and neck pain. The mother is calling on politicians to list the vaccine on the NIP so families can afford to protect their loved ones. It was reported that another case was detected recently on the peninsula, although the location is unclear. South Australia and Queensland are the only states providing free vaccines against the B strain to children and teenagers. Meningococcal cases in South Australia declined more than other states after its meningococcal B vaccine program was introduced in 2018 to include children under the age of four and young people aged 17 to 20. The uncommon but serious bacterial infection requires urgent medical care to prevent death or disability. Last financial year in Victoria there were seven reported cases of meningococcal disease, including two deaths. Most cases were aged between 15 to 20, and their illnesses were due to meningococcal bacteria serogroup (strain) B.

YOUNG people and the “wider community” will be able to choose one of three Aboriginal names for the yet to be completed $13 million southern peninsula youth hub at Rosebud. The name will be chosen from three suggested by the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation: Tounnin Wominjeka (warm welcome); Umarko Wominjeka (all, everyone welcome); and Kartnuk Bullito Wongonon (joy everywhere, all about). The hub is expected to open in November and the shire will later this month and in February seek the opinions of youth groups and schools. In a report to council’s 19 December public meeting, shire officers said youth groups would be asked to vote on the three names. The chosen one would “be the final name for the hub that we will commence community consultation with to the wider community”. “Once the final name has been determined, the wider community will be consulted and provided with the opportunity to give feedback on the name,” the officer’s report stated. The “final name” would then be put on public exhibition for 30 days “to inform the community of the decision”. “Any feedback must be considered and objections addressed. The naming

CONTROL YOUR COMFORT with energy efficient uPVC windows and doors featuring aluplast-technology

proposal is then lodged with the Registrar of Geographic Names Victoria for consideration and approval.” Councillors agreed in May last year to ask the Frankston-based Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation to consider suitable names based on a list of words suggested by young people that represented them “and how they feel”. The adoption of an Aboriginal name for the youth hub follows council’s decision to name the $50m Rosebud aquatic centre Yawa. The process for naming the youth hub - by considering only Aboriginal names - is unlikely to lead to the same delays surrounding the naming of aquatic centre. After rejecting an Aboriginal name on National Sorry Day in May 2020, councillors eventually agreed the centre would be called Yawa (Yawa ‘milestone’ for aquatic centre, The News 3/8/20). The $13million youth hub being built at Olympic Park, Rosebud will provide such services as youth health and learning through the shire’s youth services department, Headspace, YSAS, Oakwood School, Peninsula Health and The Brotherhood of St Laurence. Cr David Gill said the choice of name for the youth hub “should be made by our youth and First Peoples”. While the names may sound strange he wondered if that would have been the reaction made by Aboriginals hearing such names as Dromana,

Rosebud or Mount Eliza. “They’re probably just as strange in many ways, but will roll off our tongues in no time,” Gill said. “It’s no more difficult than the English language … getting something authentic and real, with 60,000 years of culture behind it.” Cr Despi O’Connor said it was “really fitting” to use names suggested by the Bunurong Land Council as “a lot of our First Nations people live around this area of the peninsula”. Cr Debra Mar said young people could see the youth hub as their second home and the meaning of the suggested names “certainly goes to that point”. Cr Sarah Race was excited that young people had said they wanted Bunurong names for the youth hub. When work started on the youth hub last year, then mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said young people living in the southern peninsula were accessing services and programs at lower rates than would be expected, and many vulnerable young people were missing out on the services and supports they needed (Start for $13m ‘youth hub’ at Rosebud, The News 3/10/22). He said the hub would meet their current and future needs. “Evidence shows an accessible youth-friendly site will deliver the best outcomes for young people and their families. We’re so pleased this one stop youth hub is being built in Rosebud.”

Hundreds of dogs, cats put down Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au MORE than 600 cats and nearly 100 dogs were euthanased by Frankston Council’s contracted animal shelter in the first six months of 2023. Between 1 January and 30 June, RSPCA Peninsula in Pearcedale admitted 874 cats and 160 dogs resulting in 69 cats and 21 dogs being euthanased. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s animal shelter and pound put down 38 cats and four dogs - it admitted 210 cats and 228 dogs. The latest statistics on the fate of animals who enter shelters and pounds released by Animal Welfare Victoria show the Lost Dogs Home Casey, which provides animal shelter services for Frankston Council, admitted 2201 cats and put down 652. It admitted 1227 dogs during the six month period and euthanased 91. The Lost Dogs Home provides animal shelter services to 16 Victorian councils. In addition to its Casey centre in Cranbourne West, it also has a centre in North Melbourne. The Lost Dogs Home director of external affairs Jill Gustave-Marsten said that more work needs to be done to prevent cats from being euthanased. “The Lost Dogs’ Home is committed to providing the health and behavioural care necessary to be able to rehome every adoptable animal regardless of length of time it may take to do so. We are also committed to making the right euthanisia deci-

Picture: Gary Sissons sions to prevent unnecessary suffering, as well as to protect members of the community and their animals. We achieve this with dogs. We are not achieving this with cats,” GustaveMarsten said. “The sheer numbers of unowned and wild cats coming into shelters, pounds and rescues every year, and

most especially during the consistently lengthening kitten season, makes this impossible. Although we are slowly reducing euthanasia rates for cats year on year, we must have the support of the community and a far greater commitment from the state government to be able to achieve this at a much faster rate.

“We are an open intake shelter, meaning we accept all animals into our care regardless of seriousness of health issues or temperaments. There is no selection criteria applied during our intake process.” The Lost Dogs’ Home was tasked with caring for more than 18,000 animals in 2022/2023. It claims that it

cares for more animals in a week than 55 per cent of other shelters did in the six month reporting period. Across the state, 25,913 cats and 14,178 dogs were admitted into care, and 6535 cats and 1193 dogs were put down. In 2022, the state government implemented mandatory reporting guidelines for animal shelters and pounds, ordering them to begin collecting data from 1 January 2023. Gustave-Marsten said “the Lost Dogs’ Home are strongly in favour of centralised, standardised reporting of animal fate data, from all shelters, pounds - as well as rescue organisations”. Frankston Council reviewed its arrangements with its pound service provider in 2023. “Frankston City Council is happy with our current contract arrangement with the Lost Dogs Home,” acting CEO Kim Jaensch said. “Council’s domestic animal management plan outlines the services, programs and policies ... established to address and manage domestic animal issues in the community. “The plan shapes our strategy to address animal management within Frankston City for the next four years. It identifies how council currently addresses animal management and helps us develop ways to improve current practices and set new guidelines for future plans.” Animal Welfare Victoria statistics are available at: agriculture.vic.gov.au/ livestock-and-animals/animal-welfarevictoria/domestic-animals-act/animalfate-data-set

Secrecy over Potter show highlights council failings There is no doubt about the huge public opposition to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council secretly giving The Briars wildlife reserve over to Warner Brothers/Fever for two months to conduct their Harry Potter show. Secretly doing a deal with a multinational entertainment group to stage a major event that will dramatically affect Mount Martha residents and pose huge environmental problems for The Briars slaps in the face of the “transparency and consultation” that we expect from our councillors and council executive. The public only found out about it when tickets went on sale four or five months after the deal was done. Feel good statements about economic benefit for local traders, minimal harm to the environment and no problem for the native animals, are fanciful spin at best. Council’s own event policy document states is Objectives as being “to ensure there is a consistent, accountable and transparent approach in the administration of events”. Under Key Principals: “Environmental – encourage and/or supporting events that will not negatively impact the amenity of the region’s natural and built environment.” Also: “Limiting the impacts of events on roads, reserves, parks and foreshores and other public areas … ensuring events are conducted sustainably with no detrimental impact to the environment or amenity of an area or location.” As for our councillors, their code of conduct’s overarching principals binds them to comply with the Local Government Act 2020, section 9(3) governing “community engagement principles” and “public transparency principles”. With such blatant disregard for the above, is it time for a line in the sand with our council? Do they need to be reminded that The Briars belongs to and is funded by the community? David Mason, Mount Martha

Show a money spinner When is a sanctuary not a sanctuary? When it’s The Briars. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has elected to turn the only publicly owned wildlife sanctuary on the peninsula into a Warner Bros theme park. Of course it is a money-spinner, so I’m sure it will continue if it’s successful. The council needs the money. Our rates aren’t high enough. It seems we don’t need wildlife sanctuaries anymore. Such a shame because I thought they were important. Fay Sicker, Mount Martha

Separate reality Move over Brian Cox. Our Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has proved the existence of a multiverse here on Earth. For a while I was baffled by the signs on bins that asked one to use the QR code if the bin was full, with no QR code present; by the signs pointing down to the ground indicating the presence of the new cash for cans system, with no outward sign of a subterranean can receiver or cash dispenser; by the large sign on Hillview Reserve telling us for a decade about a non-existent playground - even more baffling in that this now seems to be in Red Hill rather than Seawinds, according to the latest Penwide [council newsletter]. Then it slowly dawned on me that our shire has succeeded in creating its own alternate reality - where words and signs trump action. And a fine tuning on this is of course “community consultation”. Once it has been spoken of and the sign is up, one can consider it done. Comparison with Hobson’s Bay, where a beautiful new pier is built as soon as needed; a long stone seawall is quietly erected for the sake of future needs; mature street trees are planted and looked after; a full professional theatre is built for local performances; tasteful wooden beach shelters and benches for outdoor eating appear – all with no fanfare, bragging or fuss on the part of the council – indicates there are indeed alternate universes. And within Victoria. Perhaps if photos of councillors were banned from all shire publications our little section of the multiverse might be more outward focussed

- towards the needs of the people – rather than (not sure really where the focus is currently) flags maybe? Paula Polson, Dromana

Public in the dark As a regular visitor to The Briars wildlife sanctuary, I was surprised to learn of the deal Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has struck with Warner Brothers to stage a Harry Potter spectacle there. In the interests of open government, I invite council to say: 1. Who initiated contact between council and Warner Bros? 2. When did discussions between them begin? 3. On what date did the parties reach agreement? 4. What amount, if any, is Warner Bros going to pay council under any and, if so, what licence agreement? 5. What steps, if any, did council take to consult stakeholders (such as Friends of the Briars, CFA) whether and, if so, where the spectacle should be staged? 6. On what date was the question of the spectacle first placed on an agenda for discussion or consideration by council? 7. When did council meet to consider whether to authorise its officers or employees to enter into any and, if so, what agreement with Warner Bros? 8. Did council consider the above question in closed session; before any and, if so, which of its elected councillors; subject to the imposition of a precondition that any councillor who wished to vote on the question had to sign a commercial-in-confidence undertaking? 9. Before making its decision to enter into an agreement with Warner Bros, what regard, if any, did council pay to the nature and extent of the impact of the spectacle on The Briars’ wildlife and the sustainability of the amenity of the sanctuary? In the absence of council’s answers to these questions, one is left to conclude that council has kept ratepayers and stakeholders in the dark, and that it sees itself as immune from public scrutiny in an environmental matter of the first importance. Nicholas Green, Inverloch

Flag not blissful Ignorance is not bliss. Living in this modern day world that we all find ourselves living in today, ignorance is a commodity that none of us can afford. Many on the Mornington Peninsula are not pleased with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council flying the LGBTQIA+ flag outside council officers (Pride is International and Flag congratulations, Letters 19/12/23). Contrary to both these letters, while peninsula residents are welcoming of diverse backgrounds many are not welcoming to the agenda behind the LGBTQIA+ flag. Ignorance is not bliss. The opposite word(s) for bliss according to a simple Google search is “misery”, with other similar words such as sadness, unhappiness, calamity, woe, just to name a few. In fact, ignorance produces everything opposite to the word bliss, especially when LGBTQIA+ discos and formals are organised by our shire for 10-year-old children with our rate monies. This was done in May of last year just prior to these virtue signalling flags were flown. Those of us who push back against this flag are not ignorant to the agenda behind it. Nor are we prejudice toward or against any adults for the lifestyle they choose. We are simply protecting children against everything that bliss is the opposite of. Many in the gay community say that this flag does not represent them either. Break through your blissful ignorance and protect the children. Felicity Benson, Mornington

Proud Australians The Pride flags being flown on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council offices seems to be simple virtue signalling. Surely the best way to demonstrate inclusion

THE possible interuption to the nocturnal lives of creatures like the powerful owl are being cited as reasons to relocate the planned Harry Potter shows at The Briars wildlife sanctuary, Mount Martha. Picture: Gary Sissons

A plea to Harry Potter author J K Rowling Dear J K, I’m writing to you with an appeal. I’m sure you get a zillion of these letters each day, but I’m hoping this one reaches your heart. In the little town where I live, Mount Martha, there is a small park with an old sanctuary for rare Australian birds, wildlife and plants. Most of these are small shy nocturnal creatures with the beautiful powerful owl at the top of the food chain. At night you can tour through this sanctuary and, armed with a pale red light, you might catch a glimpse of a koala, possum, or any of the small ground dwelling marsupials and plants that are nurtured within its boundaries. The reason for this letter is that yesterday, buried in the fog of Christmas activity, it was revealed that Warner Brothers and our local council will be hosting a Harry Potter night time extravaganza inside this little sanctuary. This

will attract thousands of visitors, lighting, sound and generating infrastructure. There is a lot of money changing hands for this event and it is being presented as a fait accompli and no one, especially the traumatised animals, will have any influence over these decisions. I am appealing to you in good faith and with your considerable influence over all things Potter, to please reconsider this venue choice? There is a lovely community forest within one kilometre of this site that would make a wonderful enchanted forest with all the same amenities and no environmental impact whatsoever. I’m sure Harry Potter fans worldwide would applaud this consideration for the fauna and rare plant species at The Briars sanctuary. Please help if you can? Best wishes. Anthony Wood, Mount Martha (and the tiny residents of The Briars, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Australia )

is to do away with all the symbols of minority groups and have a general acceptance that no one is excluded? It is the majority that apparently must bend to the will of the minority. By way of example, we have the High Commissioner in London (another “retired” politician at the trough) cancelling the Australia Day function - a charity fundraiser - because a small but vocal minority is offended by the majority celebrating this country’s national day. There is no longer a parade in Melbourne to celebrate Australia Day. The last time I went into the city for Australia Day I was incredibly impressed by the diversity of the multitude of national groups wearing the national costumes of the land of their birth (or of their forebears), but so very proud to be Australian. As a migrant myself, it is something I share with so many. Jack Wheeler, Mornington

spend millions of dollars on the big five that might actually be solvable: heart disease (18,643 deaths), dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (17,106), COVID-9 (859). cerebrovascular diseases (9829), lung cancer (9048). If you want to use the “but the effect on the extended family and community”, that is a problem for all of the above, not specifically special to road carnage. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Death duties Trying to fix the problem of carnage on our roads with decades old methods are not working. Have we reached the bottom of the barrel on road carnage? How much lower can it go? Of 190,939 deaths in Australia, 1253 were due to roads (.00656 per cent). How low can road carnage go? How much do we spend to get it lower? I think we might be spending too much on a problem that will never go away? If we want to save lots of lives we should

Helping each other The hottest year on record, 2023 was a year marred globally by war and extreme weather events. In Australia it was also a year tarnished by disinformation and social division, evidenced most clearly throughout the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum campaign and outcome. Most of us, however, want peace, a stable climate and to close the gap of Indigenous disadvantage. So how do we move forward in 2024? We listen and learn from each other. We find common ground and we work together to create the society and environment we want to live in. In 2024 we encourage governments to work for people and planet instead of big corporations, we support truth, and as much as possible we bring optimism to every interaction. One community garden, shared meal, or donation to charity at a time, each of us can contribute to a positive future. Amy Hiller, Kew

SBS, 9.30pm

FRIDAY

A high-octane, head-splattering turn from Ted Lasso’s Juno Temple (pictured) as wide-eyed housewife Dot – who knows her shotguns from her machine guns – has propelled this mysterious season. The allure of Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, with piercings, a deadly sense of loyalty and a freewheeling take on the law, has only added to the intrigue. This arresting mix of characters, including Jennifer Jason Leigh as a pouty, well-heeled mother-in-law to be reckoned with, is the bread and butter of Noah Hawley’s eccentric murderstained thriller. In tonight’s season finale, Dot prepares biscuits amid her fight for survival. Tune in to find out how this cookie crumbles.

THE SCOTTISH ISLAND THAT WON THE LOTTERY

SBS, 7.30pm

The hardworking people of North Uist, numbering around 1500, lead a simple life. When 101 islanders won a share in a £3 million lottery windfall, the difficult bit was working out what they should spend it on. This isn’t a rags to riches or decadent consumerism tale, but rather a heartwarming peek at a community – including fisherman Donald and farmer Annie (pictured) – which is already happy with their lot, but a breadmaker might be nice.

SATURDAY

SOCCER

TEN, 10pm

Now that Australia has gone soccer mad, we’re itching for our next fix. With the World Cup more than two years away, the AFC Asian Cup is the next biggest spectacle for fans. Coach Graham Arnold will be raring to exceed the Socceroos’ quarter-final knockout in 2019, with Leicester City defender Harry Souttar (pictured) among those named in the squad as they as they take on world India in tonight’s first group stage match from Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

SUNDAY

TOP GUN: MAVERICK

TEN, 7.30pm

In the years since first taking to the skies in 1986’s Top Gun, Tom Cruise (pictured) has proven he’s not shy of a death-defying stunt. It’s no stretch of the imagination to think that his on-screen counterpart, US Navy Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, has led a similarly adrenaline-fuelled life. This blockbuster finds decorated test pilot Maverick back at Top Gun, begrudgingly educating a new generation of graduate fighter pilots including Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller) – the son of Maverick’s fallen comrade Goose.

Do you have heel pain in the morning? YOU’VE just started putting in the extra miles, walking or running to get fit, and suddenly putting weight on the base of the foot, near the heel makes it ache, and makes more training a painful prospect. That sharp pain in your heel can be a symptom of plantar fasciitis, a condition of the connective plantar fascia tissue in your foot, and traditionally very difficult to treat. Physiotherapist Sienna Wills says Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury that can feel as though you have a pebble in your shoe. At Back In Motion Balnarring, we have several solutions for this condition. Firstly, it is important to look at your whole lower limb biomechanics. As a result, we can work on your strength and flexibility in your leg and foot, prescribe orthotics, tape and teach taping, and use massage and ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We have a unique way of mobilizing your foot and teaching “foot core stability” to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia. Apart from the above solutions, there is a newer healing technology that is making a profound difference to Plantar fasciitis sufferers. Practice owner and physiotherapist, Paul Rowson says shockwave therapy is often useful, because the Plantar fascia is a connective tissue, not a muscle. “It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to,” Mr Rowson says. “It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon”.

Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Both physios say that Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. For more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results in other Back In Motion clinics. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a 90% success rate,”Ms Wills says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation,”Ms Wills says, “like most physio hands-on treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment.” Mr Rowson says,” After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain.” “Probably the best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders.” “It is important to know that shock wave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes without having to do further treatment.” says Mr Rowson. Back in Motion is at 6/2-8 Russell Street, Balnarring. www.backinmotion.com.au/ balnarring

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr and Mrs Bright avoid serious injury in accident Compiled by Cameron McCullough WHILE driving home from the Show yesterday, Mr. C. E. Bright, Deputy Postmaster-General, who was accompanied by Mrs. Bright, met with an accident which, fortunately, was attended with no serious results. It appears that while proceeding up Oliver’s Hill, the bolt connecting the shaft and the buggy broke, causing the shaft to drop. Mrs. Bright was thrown out, and the horse breaking the trace, ran into the fence. Mr. Bright, who was driving, held on to the reins until the horse got clear of the harness, was also thrown out. Luckily both Mr. and Mrs. Bright escaped without any serious injury, a few minor bruises on the arms and face, sustained by Mr. Bright, being all. Their daughter, Miss C. Bright, a successful competitor in the Show, who was riding home, leading another horse, caught the runaway, her prompt action probably averting disaster. *** AT the opening of the Long Island Tennis club last week, Cr. Mason, in congratulating the members upon their success in obtaining a suitable site for their pavilion and courts, referred to the fact that on a previous occasion an application, similar in its purpose, for a site for a bowling green had been “turned down.” The recent Carnivals are fresh in everyone’s mind. And so are the citizens who so successfully brought about their consummation. At the risk of being criticised as

leaning, perhaps, too much to the side of sport, we think it is a suitable time to suggest that the application be renewed. There are those among the residents of Frankston who have sacrificed time and money to further general sport. Why should not a little of their enterprise and unselfishness be in some measure returned? A bowling green would give many a chance to renew on spare afternoons acquaintances which possibly are only renewed in business hours. Apart from that aspect, however, Frankston, for its importance and population, is unique in that it does not possess a green. None of our old “sports” are growing younger, and the responsibility of sharing the responsibility of the “heat and burden” of the day could gradually be left to the younger generation. It should be a duty cheerfully undertaken, and in its execution the main idea should be to emulate the spirit and ability of the present workers. Moreover, interchanges of visits from neighbouring shires and towns, and the closer acquaintance of citizen and ratepayers could not but be productive of good. *** WARM appreciation was expressed by the Frankston New Year’s Day Sports Committee at the record put up by “The Standard” Printing Works in connection with the publication of the 64-page sports programme issued by the club. Only two days were allowed for the production of the programme, owing to late declaration of the handicaps.

Thanks to “The Standard’s” wellequipped plant, and the readiness of the staff to work overtime during the holiday period, the job was produced on time to the satisfaction of all concerned. We venture to say that in no other office during the period named could the job have been executed. *** HIS many friends will regret to learn that Mr. D. Dodd is on the sick list, and is likely to be confined to his home for some days. *** WE regret to learn that Mr. W. A. Korner, of the firm of Brody and Korner, is rather seriously indisposed, and under the advice of his medical attendant is taking things very quietly. *** MR. F. W. Bartlett, with his brotherin-law, Mr. Hyland, returned from a motor trip to the Lakes last Saturday. They had a very enjoyable time and en route inspected the wonders of Yallourn, and also dipped into the forests around Neerim for a few hours. *** MR. Charles Bell, “Bell for Boots,” met with a nasty accident on Friday last. While proceeding along Melbourne Road on his motor bike, he was thrown, and sustained severe bruises on his arm and legs. Fortunately nothing more serious happened. *** MR. Reg. Coxall, a noted Frankston footballer, recently met with a serious accident. While proceeding home on his motor bicycle, he collided with a jinker, which was not carrying a light, on Hastings Road.

IN THE

The force of the impact was so great that, in the collision, Mr. Coxall was thrown to the ground, and sustained a fractured arm. Dr. Maxwell attended the sufferer. *** AT the conclusion of service at the Frankston Presbyterian Church, on Sunday morning last, the Minister, Mr. W. E. Watkins presented Miss Olive Prosser with a New Year’s Gift on behalf of the congregation. He spoke in highly appreciative terms of the valuable services rendered by Miss Prosser, as church organist, and expressed the hope that she would regard the congregation’s present as a token of the high regard in which she was held by all. *** LITTLE Ray Benson, son of Mrs. F. Benson, Cranbourne-Road, Frankston, had the misfortune, while playing, to fall off his grandmother’s verandah and fracture his arm. The little sufferer is not progressing as well as should be expected, and was X-rayed with no definite result. Mrs. Benson’s other son, Jack, was also the victim of an unfortunate occurrence, luckily with only local results. Jack (while getting a drink of water at a tap in his uncle’s, Mr. H. Scarborough, garage), received a severe electric shock as he turned the tap off. *** Wedding Bells REYNOLDS — CULLEN A very pretty wedding was celebrated at St. John’s Church of England, East Malvern, on December 31, by the Rev. H. B. Hewitt, the contracting parties being Edwin F. (“Teddy”), son

of Mrs. and the late Mr. J. Reynolds, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, and Jeanette Isobel, daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. Cullen, of East Malvern. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Stan Cullen, was charmingly attired in ivory georgette with the customary wreath and veil, and was attended by her bridesmaids Miss R. Cullen who wore a pale blue morocain costume, with black hat, and Miss Holgate, in pale pink morocain, with black hat, each of the bridesmaids wearing a gold bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. George Sanderson, of “Glenaladale,” Lindenow, acted as best man. The wedding breakfast was held at the residence of the bride’s brother, the room being tastefully decorated in the bridegroom’s old battalion colors, red and white. During the breakfast the usual toasts were honored, and little Miss Kathleen Holgate placed a silver horse-shoe on the bride’s arm as a token of good luck. Mr. W. Burrell acted as organist at the church. The happy couple left for their honeymoon by motor car, amidst showers of confetti. Mr. Reynolds is very well known in Peninsula football circles, being a very prominent player with the Frankston Club. Our hearty wishes for a long and happy life are extended to the young couple. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 9 & 11 Jan 1924

‘Squizzy’ in, ‘Fish’ out at Baxter SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie KEVIN “Squizzy” Taylor is the new head coach of State 4 outfit Baxter. Taylor’s friend Stephen Fisher resigned from the role after one year in charge citing an impasse between club and coach that could not be resolved. In an interview in early September Fisher called for the club to move from an amateur to a semi-professional structure and said if the status quo remained then his future there was uncertain. “I kept making demands that this needs to change and that needs to change but it became clear that it wasn’t going to change,” Fisher said. “To put it simply there was no common ground, nowhere where we could meet in the middle. “I was getting more and more frustrated and to be honest they were getting frustrated with me banging on about it. “We reached a point where I was prepared to quite happily walk away and there’s no animosity at all.” Fisher emphasised that his relationship with club president Bray Hodgkinson had not suffered and he wishes the club every success in the future. “I’ll be helping Bray in any way I can to keep the club moving forward and I still consider Bray a very good friend. “If they keep the playing group together there’s no reason why they can’t be really competitive as they were right in it up the last game of last season.” When it became clear that Fisher was leaving Hodgkinson offered the senior role to assistant coach Hayden Taylor who turned it down. “Hayden wanted to stay as assistant for another year or two even though we were sure he was ready to step up,” Hodgkinson said. “He could take the senior job anywhere and be very successful.” So Hodgkinson and football operations manager Jamie O’Halloran immediately started a search for Fisher’s replacement and three candidates emerged – former Seaford United and Frankston Pines head coach “Squizzy” Taylor, former Aspendale and Somerville head coach Lee Barber and Adam Steele, another former Somerville gaffer. “We all know what ‘Squiz’ has achieved in the past few years and we were very impressed with the way he handled himself during the interview,” Hodgkinson said. “When I took over as president I said there were two people on the peninsula I would love to coach our club – the first

one was ‘Fish’ and the second one was ‘Squiz’ – so the fact that they are my first two appointments since taking over is a pretty big thing for me personally. “And ‘Squiz’ believes in everything we’re striving towards so I can’t think of a better person to come in after the amazing work that ‘Fish’ has done.” “Squizzy” Taylor’s candidature was secured on a golf course alongside O’Halloran where the ops manager was at pains to remind him that his oldest son Hayden was the senior assistant and his youngest son Daniel was part of the senior squad’s leadership group. “Yeah he made that point and also pointed out that I’m down there every week anyway,” Taylor said. “I want to continue what ‘Fish’ put in place last season and the football department is really strong so I’m hoping I’ll be able to build on those foundations. “Hayden will stay on as assistant with Harry (Liapis) and Dave (Kuhanez) doing the reserves. “I think there are a couple of spots where the senior squad might need strengthening and I’ve got no doubt that there will be a few bodies coming in but let’s have a few training sessions then take it from there. “We haven’t really set any goals as yet but let’s just be competitive and see what happens.” In other news Matildas star Steph Catley made a surprise appearance at North Seaford Reserve late last month. Catley was the subject of a press conference announcing that she had been

hired to promote a proposed sports hub development in a neighbouring municipality. The bulk of onlookers came from Seaford United’s juniors and after Catley did some on-camera interviews she made herself available to the many autograph hunters in attendance. Finally here are the pre-season schedules of most local clubs noting that they are subject to change so regular checks of social media are advised. LANGWARRIN Saturday 13 January, v.
