TWO prominent Bendigo businessmen have called for a dramatic rethink of the region’s planning and development policies, as the city continues to boom towards becoming a sprawling community of more than 200,000 by 2050. Former Bendigo Bank and Coliban Water director Don Erskine and strategic transport planner Trevor Phillips have proposed a radical series of employment zones on the fringes of Bendigo, serviced by a net-

work of new and upgraded roads as part of a proposal that the pair admit will create controversy and emotions, but more importantly, should also spark debate about Bendigo’s future growth. The pair want planners to consider a polycentric model where independent self-contained suburbs similar to Canberra could be developed at Maiden Gully, Strath-

fieldsaye and Marong, with further expansion north of Huntly to be discouraged because of perceived concerns about flooding and inadequate transport infrastructure. They also believe a network of employment areas could eventually be established at Ravenswood, Huntly, Eaglehawk/Myers Flat, the Calder Alternate/Bendigo Marybourough Road to include the exist-

ing poultry area, in Strathfieldsaye and at Axedale. Expansion into Ravenswood is seen as desirable, provided land capability studies identify the land as being suitable for urban uses. Equally, Lockwood and Lockwood South could be considered for urban growth, and under this strategy, smaller settlements of up to 10,000 people could be considered

for Axedale, Goornong and Elmore. Mr Phillips said present day planning policy for urban growth is based on a centralist model that promotes the CBD and promotes incremental growth around the existing urban zones. “This could easily lead to all the bad features associated with urban congestion as seen in larger cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, and also fails to recognize the dramatic changes introduced to the retail sector, for example, with the digital age. Continued Page 7

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Taking on the pollies THE public awareness campaign against property taxation has succeeded in its objective, according to the Real Estate Institute of Australia. REIA president Adrian Kelly said the campaign aimed to ensure that all political parties, candidates and, importantly voters know the consequences of the opposition’s policy on negative gearing and capital gains tax. “Negative gearing has been one of the most publicly debated issues of the campaign. Rarely an interview with a politician or a current affairs program passes without the matter being discussed. It is well and truly an election issue.” Mr Kelly said the campaign had been aided by a network of real estate groups, and campaign content has already reached nearly eight million Australians. “The commentary and debate beneath REIA’s daily posts confirms the importance of a healthy property sector in the lives and aspirations of ordinary Australians. “Whilst we still have a week and a half to run of the campaign, I am quite sure that public awareness has improved significantly and I am encour-

aged by the likelihood that Senate crossbenchers will reject any legislation around the proposed changes should a Labor government be elected,” Mr Kelly said. THE Housing Industry Association said the contraction in the housing market over the past six months has occurred faster and is larger in scale than the contraction experienced after the GFC. Speaking in the wake of the Reserve Bank board’s decision to leave the official cash rate on hold at the historic low of 1.5 per cent, senior economist Geordan Murray said the decline in industry activity has occurred in an environment when lending rates have remained relatively stable. “Had the RBA lowered rates today it may have eased some of the pressures in the housing market, but the acceleration in the downturn in building activity during 2018 was largely due to regulatory imposts from state and Federal governments. “Governments should be looking at measures to make home ownership more accessible to households, both as owner-occupiers and investors.” Mr Murray said removing

the counter cyclical measures introduced at the peak of the housing cycle would be a good place to start. “This includes reviewing the appropriateness of assessing loan serviceability against an interest rate of seven per cent, almost double the current market rate. Reversal of the punitive rates of stamp duty on foreign investors is also overdue. “These measures would assist in restoring the confidence in the housing market that was lost in 2018. “The industry continues to complete work on existing projects but there are now fewer new projects getting under way.

Approvals for the construction of new homes for the first three months of 2019 equates to an annualised level of home building of around 180,000 starts. This compares to 220,000 starts in 2018.” Employment conditions in the building sector across the nation are expected to ease throughout 2019, unless there is an improvement in housing activity. “Any measures that increase the tax burden on homes, such as an increase in Capital Gains Tax, would cause a further contraction in the market and exacerbate employment losses,” concluded Mr Murray.

Rail build on right track

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

THE Labor Party’s National Rail Plan has a firm focus on local manufacturers as federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters announced what the plan could mean for Bendigo. The next decade could see as much as $100 billion spent on rail projects across the country, with local manufacturers a priority to complete these projects under a federal Labor government. “We want to see the railways

Labor MP puts focus on local manufacturing built here in Australia. These are good jobs that we want to see kept in our region,” Ms Chesters said. Speaking at the North Bendigo Railway Workshops, Ms Chesters also committed to one in 10 new jobs being for an apprentice. “We need to leverage every single tax payer dollar going into rail into local jobs and businesses to give the next generation a start,” she said. When asked about how many

more jobs there will be for Bendigo rail workers, Ms Chesters couldn’t commit to a figure. “It comes down to how many contracts they [North Bendigo Railway Workshops] can leverage at the state and federal level,” Ms Chesters said. Liberal candidate for Bendigo Sam Gayed criticised Ms Chesters’ announcement for lacking specifics. “We need fast rail between Ben-

digo and Melbourne and we need a train station in Heathcote,” Mr Gayed said. “After we address those two requirement, the manufacturing needs will become clearer and in order,” he said. “She talks about a national plan as if she doesn’t represent Bendigo,” Mr Gayed said. The North Bendigo facility has seen its workforce almost triple in

the past 12 months, going from 15 to 40 staff. Leading workshop hand Darren Thompson has been lobbying governments to get more jobs for his workshop and is encouraged by recent developments. “We are getting apprentices and more staff all the time. Things have really turned around for Bendigo and our workshop here,” Mr Thompson said. At present, V-Line carriages are being restored in Bendigo, while workers in Castlemaine continue to build parts of railway tracks.

Wear white to join the cancer fight OLIVER Birch was a sea of white on Wednesday, when the iconic store hosted a White Shirt Campaign fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research.

About 70 per cent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer succumb to the disease within five years, a tragic statistic not helped by the fact there is no known test for the early detection

of the disease. It’s hoped that by investing in research a test can be found, all funds raised from the campaign will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

“I believe Bendigo’s future is in preserving as much of old Bendigo as you can and then providing a new Bendigo around that, which provides a lot more features you cannot superimpose on the old Bendigo.” At June 30, 2018, Greater Bendigo’s population was approximately 116,000, and as the city marches towards a population of 200,000 sometime within the next 30 or so years, consideration needs to be given for 35,000 more homes and up to 210,000 additional vehicle movements a day. Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows there are about 1.87 vehicles per household, meaning Bendigo must consider the impact and need for an extra 65,450 vehicles on local roads. Mr Phillips said Bendigo’s road system was established in the days of the horse and buggy, and 170 years later, the demands for travel do not follow the earlier routes. “New routes and connections will be needed to accommodate future demands and uses. “The concept proposes a new arterial road standard bypass from the Calder Highway at Big Hill around the southeast of the city to service the proposed new eastern suburbs, and to provide an alternative to the Midland Highway by upgrading the Goornong-Axedale Road with a planned bypass of Axedale to allow the development of a town centre unimpeded by through traffic.’’

He said the present linear north-south expansion of Bendigo is also problematic, as the historic layout of the city was conceived before the invention of the motor vehicle, and places undue emphasis on one arterial route which will be to the detriment of Bendigo. Mr Phillips does not discount changes in technology, transportation methods and work practices in the future, but says the sheer weight of these numbers cannot be ignored. He admits the proposal presents many challenges for the community, and that the environment would be high on the list of concerns. Mr Phillips has called for consideration to be given to the provision of a 200-300 metrewide firebreak which could also accommodate a major solar farm and a bypass road around the northern boundary of Eaglehawk, to protect a vulnerable part of the city and maximise the use of the firebreak area. The bold plan employs a total access concept whose main transport features also includes a realignment of the Calder Highway from west of Marong to Maiden Gully so that a new route can avoid the embryonic town centre and provide additional areas for urban expansion. The Calder Alternate Highway would also be deviated west of Marong. The progressive upgrade of the Axedale-Goornong Road to highway standard would allow traffic travelling south to bypass the Midland Highway and also cater for the progressive urban growth from Huntly to Goornong. 4EDITORIAL Page 17

City’s median sale prices on the move

MEDIAN house prices across Greater Bendigo have fluctuated during the three months to March 31, according to the latest Real Estate Institute of Victoria sales data. Junortoun, in the city’s east, remains the star performer, with a median selling price for the quarter of $660,000 – up 7.8 per cent from the end of December. In central Bendigo, the median was $447,000, a rise of almost nine per cent, while Quarry Hill recorded the biggest increase at $413,000, up 11.9 per cent.

In Marong, the median price was $390,000, an increase of 7.2 per cent that also reflects the growing popularity of the suburb, particularly among first home buyers and young families. In established suburbs such as Maiden Gully ($488,000, up 2.8 per cent) and Strathfieldsaye ($453,000 up 0.9 per cent), there was steady growth, while Flora Hill was another solid performer, with a median price of $354,000 reflected a 4.8 per cent increase over the

previous quarter’s results. Fringe inner-city Ironbark recorded a 4.8 per cent increase to $281,000 as reflection of its growing popularity, due to its proximity to the central business district and some of Bendigo’s best recreational and cultural attractions. In White Hills, the median rose to $295,000, a rise of 2.3 per cent, while Huntly – another firm favourite with first home buyers and young families saw its media price fall marginally to $378,000,

down 0.3 per cent. Other areas to record an increase in the median sale price included Ascot (up 2.8 per cent to $365,000), East Bendigo (up 1.4 per cent to $323,000), Epsom (up 2.8 per cent to $365,000), Golden Square (up 1.5 per cent to $335,000) and Kangaroo Flat (up 2.1 per cent to $326,000). The median sale price fell in California Gully, Eaglehawk, Kennington, Long Gully, North Bendigo, Strathdale and Spring Gully.

Navy gift caps off history lesson STUDENTS from Creek Street Christian College had an extra history lesson this week during a tour of the RSL Soldiers Memorial Institute. The Western Front Association’s Mick Hanrahan told them the story of the two Royal

Australian Navy ships named after our city. HMAS Bendigo one was a minesweeper and was launched in March 1941. Number two was a patrol boat and served from 1983 until 2006.

The grade five students were each given a cap bearing the name. Mr Hanrahan said he bought the caps years ago and wanted to find them a good home.

THE state government will bring together road safety leaders, experts and advocates for a summit aimed at better understanding the sharp increase in the number of road deaths in Victoria. After a record low number of lives lost in 2018, 113 deaths have been recorded so far in 2019, compared with 74 at the same time last year. There have been 72 road deaths in regional Victoria so far this year, compared with 41 in metropolitan Melbourne, and it’s the worst start to a year since 2008. Minister for Roads, Road Safety and the TAC Jaala Pulford said she was deeply concerned about the rate of road deaths and will bring together Victoria’s best road safety minds at the summit on May 31 to tackle the issue. “Almost one person a day has died on Victorian roads this year – this is heartbreaking and unacceptable. “Much work is already being done to eliminate road trauma in Victoria but we cannot and will not leave any stone unturned to make our roads safer.” The summit will include experts from the TAC, VicRoads, Victoria Police, Monash University Accident Research Centre, RACV, Road Trauma Support Services Victoria and motorcycle and cycling advocates. Community roundtables will be held across regional Victoria, which continues to be over-represented in the number of lives lost.

ON Saturday, Bendigo’s iconic heritage attractions will be on show for the second year as the city presents Heritage Unwrapped. It’s a celebration of the National Trusts’ Australian Heritage Festival. Everyone is invited to enjoy Bendigo’s best heritage experiences with special tours and access to multiple sites across the city for no more than a gold coin donation at most sites. Bendigo’s extraordinary history saw the city produce more than 700,000 kilograms of gold during the gold rush era, which would now be worth $39 billion. Today the city continues to celebrate its past which

is reflected in the grand buildings and can be relived through the wide array of heritage experiences on offer. Bendigo Heritage Attractions CEO Peter Abbott said the strong support the city’s heritage sites receive from the local community is key to their continued survival in Bendigo. “Heritage Unwrapped aims to celebrate this support, so that locals and visitors alike can explore the city’s best heritage experiences and not have to worry about the standard entry fees for the day,” he said. Participating attractions include: Bendigo Tramways, Bendigo Joss House Temple,

Central Deborah Gold Mine, Bendigo Pottery, Bendigo Woollen Mills, Bendigo Art Gallery, Golden Dragon Museum, Soldiers Memorial Institute, Peppergreen Farm, Post Office Gallery and the Town Hall. “Whether it be travelling aboard a vintage tram, gaining behind the scenes access, exploring our Chinese heritage, delving into our gold rush past, or finding out more about the city’s first people, the Dja Dja Wurrung, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone to enjoy,” Mr Abbott said. Visit www.bendigoheritage.com.au for more information and to access the schedule for the day.

No time for games

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

GREENS candidate for Bendigo Robert Holian was outside Bendigo Hospital yesterday to bring attention to the No Time for Games campaign. An initiative of Doctors for the Environment Australia, the campaign asks for pledges from health professionals to strengthen health services and take a whole of government approach to climate change, ensuring future generations are well off.

The health benefits of climate change are central to the themes of the mission, with a replacement of fossil fuel based power with clean energy sought to improve childhood asthma, respiratory disease and allergies. Fewer cars, improving urban environments and greening city environments will provide financial and health cost savings, the campaign proposes. “I think the movement is really well received in the health community in Bendi-

go,” Mr Holian said. “We have been attracting political attention towards the impact of climate change and particularly its impact on children.” With the election just days away, Mr Holian will take some time off work as a general practitioner next week to campaign in the lead up to the May 18 vote. “We will be at every early voting centre next week with lots of people early voting already,” Mr Holian said.

“I will be doing some events in Castlemaine this weekend and responding to whatever comes up in the community.” The federal election takes place on Saturday, May 18. Early voting centres are open at 45 Mitchell Street, Bendigo and 113-123 Mackenzie Street West, Golden Square. Early voting at the Castlemaine Town Hall opens tomorrow at 9am. GREENS CANDIDATE: Robert Holian.

Bendigo launch of Sisterworks SISTERWORKS Bendigo was launched last Tuesday in St Andrew’s Hall by a group of inspiring women who are determined to give strength and independence to immigrant women and refugees. The focus of the group is on newly arrived women or women who are long term unemployed. The organisation was founded by Luz Restrepo, a political refugee from Colombia who believes in the principle that work and employment are fundamental to the progress and empowerment of immigrants and refugees. Ms Restrepo arrived in Australia in 2010 with no English, no money and her life shattered. “I felt like a nobody; frightened, isolated and disempowered,” she said. SisterWorks was officially founded in May 2013 with an emphasis on women building their own businesses. They are taught the legal aspects of business, fund-raising, marketing, administrative skills and are provided support and

structure. In Melbourne this amazing social enterprise model is supporting 171 women from 55 countries. Based in Richmond, the women create and sell their wares. They make a range of sustainable products such as reusable product bags, hemp wash cloths and beeswax foodwraps. “When we show the women how to make the products we only speak in English,” Ms Restrepo said. “Everyone has to speak English, so as well as learning to make products, they learn English.” The initial SisterWorks meeting in Bendigo was attended by 15 women. SisterWorks is supported by Bendigo Community Health and several community agencies. They are looking for volunteers to help with this flourishing social enterprise. SisterWorks meets every Tuesday at St Andrew’s Hall from 10am to 2.30pm. For more information go to bendigo@sisterworks. org.au – Dianne Dempsey

Classic fun run returns THE annual Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk in support of breast cancer research is on this weekend. Strathdale’s Beischer Park will once again host the popular event, which is in its 11th year. Streets around the parkland will be closed to traffic from 7am Sunday to allow for the event to be conducted in a safe and participant-friendly environment. More than $35 million has been raised at Mother’s Day Classic events across Australia in the past 22 years, and local residents are once again invited to take part in either the gentle, family-friendly four kilometre walk around the scenic Kennington Reservoir, or either of the four or eight km runs on offer, with every step taken helping to raise more funds. Sunday’s weather is expected to be mild, with an overnight low of seven degrees giving rise to a forecast maximum of 17 degrees set to provide ideal conditions for the community fundraiser. Registration on the day is available from 7am, and for more details, visit www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/ events/event-map/bendigo. INSPIRING: Macarena Erbs, Luz Restrepo and Ifrin Fittock.

School cash in kitty

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

BENDIGO schools are set for a funding boost if the Labor Party is elected in next Saturday’s federal election. Federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters recently announced a $22 million investment in schools across the electorate, with Bendigo Senior Secondary College slated for more than $2.5 million. A number of other projects have also been announced, including $50,000 towards an outdoor learning area and sensory garden at Huntly Primary School.

“Huntly Primary is a great school, but the yard is looking tired and dry, and provides little inspiration for students to play and explore in a stimulating environment,” Ms Chesters said. The funding announcement was met with skepticism by Bendigo’s Liberal candidate Sam Gayed, who said that under the Coalition, funding for schools increased from $1.1 billion in 2013 to $1.9 billion this year. Mr Gayed labelled Ms Chesters’ promises as “random and not according to a plan.” “She can promise many things, delivering

nothing,” Mr Gayed said. “When Labor was last in government they couldn’t deliver because they ran out of money with a budget deficit of $48 million,” he said. The principal of Bendigo Senior Secondary College Dale Pearce said the funding figure announced by Ms Chesters is one he is familiar with. “That has been bandied around for a significant period of time,” Mr Pearce said. When asked where the money could be spent, Mr Pearce focused on educational support. “We would like to provide additional support in

student wellbeing, literacy and for individual students to improve their achievement and engagement levels,” he said. A $25,000 commitment towards upgrading the JB Osborne Theatre at Crusoe College was another project recently announced by the Labor Party. The funding would restore the theatre kitchen, install a commercial fridge, oven and wash area and new curtains to improve the performing space. “Australian schools should be the best in the world, and every Australian child deserves the best start in life,” Ms Chesters said.

Four utes filled for Foodshare A MONTH long effort to collect non-perishable food items has culminated in almost $5500 worth of food for those doing it tough in Bendigo. The massive haul, which fills four utes, is part of a car dealership’s Fill It For Foodshare campaign that ran for the entirety of April. Bendigo Toyota’s marketing team of Gabrielle Richards and Sue DeAraugo spent time outside local supermarkets, calling on the

public to donate a couple of extra items during their shop. “It was simply incredible,” Ms Dearaugo said. “The response we got from people in the community was nothing short of inspiring. “Once people heard the work that Foodshare do and the impact their donations can have, they were more than willing to help out and grab a couple of extra things.” Ms Richards said the firm has sponsored Bendigo Foodshare for

a number of years. “We think the work the Foodshare crew do, to help feed the one in 11 people in our region who experience food poverty every week is outstanding. This is a practical way for us to have an impact and help make difference,” she said. “We really challenged ourselves to go above and beyond with our Fill It For Foodshare campaign this year, hoping to fill three utes... when in fact we filled four.” Austral Display 1800x600_ORRCON FINAL.indd 1

Floral art becomes a family affair WHEN it comes to art, nothing beats flowers. Whether it’s a still life of a single lily or a field of golden daffodils, the immense popularity of blooms in art is testament to their aesthetic appeal. Prompted by the success of a book about dogs in Australian art she had edited for Wakefield Press, Bendigo writer Penelope Curtin suggested a similar book, about floral art. Her daughter Tansy, who is curatorial manager at Bendigo Art Gallery, got on board to help with the art history, and the result is a glorious bouquet. “Floral art is still immensely popular,” Penelope said. “We have half a dozen contemporary artists in our book and I think only one is a traditional still life. Others are in landscapes or portraits, making political and personal statements. “As the book shows, flowers have been a constant in art movements and styles. You could almost say their changing styles of depiction help define each of the various art movements.” Mother and daughter will

launch their book, Blooms and Brushstrokes, later this month at The Capital, with art writer Robert Nelson as guest speaker. It is a work by Robert’s wife, photographic artist Polixeni Papapetrou, who died last year, which they chose as the cover of their beautiful book. Penelope says working with Tansy was a wonderful experience. “In an earlier life I had a bookshop in Adelaide that sold art, garden, architecture and design books and Tansy and I worked there to-

gether, when she was doing postgraduate study at the time,” she said. “She’d probably concede that I know more about flowers than she does, but she knows more about art than I do. “Funnily enough, many people have asked whether we’re still friends after having done a book together. In fact it is a wonderful thing to have achieved together. At the end of it we both agreed that we’d learnt so much.” Blooms and Brushstrokes by Penelope and Tansy Curtin will be launched by Robert Nelson at The Capital, 2pm, Saturday, May 25.

No fee for felines RSPCA Victoria has extended the ‘No Fees for Felines’ campaign in response to more than 1500 cats in care who will be in urgent need of homes. Until May 31 adoption fees will be waived for all cats, and kittens under five months can be adopted for a discounted price of $50. The extension follows a very successful month-long campaign, which has seen 935 cats and kittens find their forever homes. However, RSPCA locations are continuing to feel the pressure with new cats and kittens coming through the doors every day. “Historically these types of campaigns help us rehome the 10,000 cats we receive annually. But this year we’re being inundated and just can’t keep up with the demand,” RSPCA Victoria’s Tegan McPherson said. “Cats typically breed during the warmer months. After a very hot, dry summer the kitten season is lasting a lot longer than usual. It’s created a real cat problem for us and many other animal welfare organisations. “The campaign has been successful so far. We want to keep the momentum going throughout May to counteract the impacts of kitten season on our locations across Victoria.”

IT only comes around once every three years and we have to be thankful for that. In my limited time in Victoria, 16 years, I have well and truly been ground down by the self-serving behaviour of pollies of all colours and levels of government. Before that I spent a few years in Queensland, and they had it even worse at the time. It’s sad really. The puerile antics of so many of our elected representatives just cheapen the whole experience. I remember watching a TV program, Band of Brothers, where the argument came up about a refusal to salute a senior officer. The junior officer had no respect for his colleague, but was told “you’re saluting the uniform and what it represents, not the man.” I can relate this to poli-

tics across the world, but let’s concentrate on Australia for obvious reasons. I respect the “rank” of prime minister and members of parliament. It takes a lot of work to get there. But with the position comes a responsibility. As an MP you are so supposed to represent your electorate. Not just your supporters, but those who voted for the other side too. If you rise through the ranks to cabinet you still represent your electorate, as well as extra duties for which you are paid handsomely. But you still represent the country, the whole country, not just those who numbered your box, by design or accident. Never has the term donkey vote been more apt. Returning to the military analogy, and back to World War I, after the huge

losses on the Western Front the allied troops were described as “Lions led by Donkeys”. Those at the top had no real regard for the damage and horror they were inflicting, they just needed victories to further their careers. Sound familiar? So we are in a land where the donkey vote is each and every pencilled number on the voting paper, rather than just one to six in that order on the page. I have nothing but respect for our system of government. The idea sounds fine. I even don’t mind the monarchy sticking its nose in, albeit remotely, but we need to look at how it’s done. I am neither a monarchist or republican, but I believe in a government which serves its people rather than itself. Maybe when the time

comes to restructure to the inevitable republic we can tighten up the rules a bit, and maybe those rules need to be put together by a panel rather than the MPs themselves. I think most people would prefer to have respect for good work done by politicians, rather than more stories of snouts in the trough. It seems more and more people are disillusioned with politics and polling, bored with them even. The early voting figures show people just want it over with. In reality our little string of numbers makes a very small impact personally, but at least we can still trust it’s a democratic process.

A climate election IT is disappointing to note federal Labor member for Bendigo, Lisa Chesters claiming that it is the Greens that have copied Labor on tackling climate change (Greens back local farmers, Bendigo Weekly, May 3). Just a few long-standing Greens’ policies which, to date, have been adopted (“copied”, if you like) by the ALP include marriage equality, negative gearing and capital gains tax discount reform, the establishment of a national anti-corruption watch-dog, support for a banking royal commission and a royal commission into the abuse and exploitation of people living with a disability. This list is far from exhaustive. There is a significant chance that, after May 18, we will have a Labor government which will need the support of the Greens in the Senate to govern. The Greens are saying, very clearly, that comprehensive climate action and protecting the environment upon which our very existence depends are going to be its key priorities. This election is clearly a climate election – voters overwhelmingly want effective action on climate change, rather than bi-partisan paralysis and deadlock. Federal Greens leader Richard Di Natale has repeatedly stated that the Greens want to work with a potential Labor government to facilitate a just transition of Australia’s economy to renewable energy production and investment in the clean, green technologies of the future. It would be great to see Bill Shorten reciprocate such a commitment to working cohesively towards a safer climate and a more just society, rather than joining with a compromised, chaotic Coalition in dishonestly demonising the Greens. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Buck stops with Barnaby IT is beyond belief that Barnaby Joyce did not know what he was signing in the water buy-back deal with a company in the Cayman Islands. He said he was not interested in the detail and that he left the decision to members of his department. What a dereliction of his role as the appropriate minister. The deal involved paying for 29,000 gigalitres of rare flood water from a company in the Cayman Islands, a tax-haven which was founded by energy minister, Angus Taylor. No questions were asked and the price to the government was around $79 million of taxpayers’ money. Both Mr Joyce and Mr Taylor deny

Win!

receiving any benefit from the deal. It seemed that Mr Joyce did not care at all what the deal contained. Although this deal did not include any farms or infrastructure, it nevertheless shows incompetence by the government. An enquiry after the election is too late. We are aware of the serious water shortage problem in this country – drought in Queensland, dead fish in their thousands in the Darling, dying animals and vanishing birds. Now consumers are experiencing the escalating cost of consumables. Once again, taxpayers and farmers have been ripped off by this shabby government. W Hebbard, Woodend

Playing us for fools THE recent Federal Budget announced $210,000,000 of road spending in Mallee. But really what was announced? $60m for the Stawell to SA border upgrade, welcome, but the National’s ads claiming a $1 billion spend in Mallee already includes $50m for the same project so how much of that $60m in the budget is new money? We need to be told. Another $60m was pre-announced for the Swan Hill bridge, but when will that be spent? As it stands despite years of discussions there is no definitive site yet. How you feel about an unelected member of the public announcing how your taxes will be spent rather than your elected representative is for you to decide. In The Age on April 15 Shane Wright wrote “$360 million duplication of the Western Highway between Ararat and Stawell will have to wait until 2026-27 before it is finished.” That’s a minimum of three federal elections away. Yet in the National’s election advertising they have seen fit to load the full $500,000,000 federal government commitment to the 123 kilometre Ballarat to Stawell upgrade onto the last 15km of the road, that was, but is no longer, in Mallee and claim it has been “delivered” Presumably they think we take everything they say as gospel and don’t bother to check. They are playing us for fools and until now they’ve got away with it. Dave Lennon, Bendigo

PICK OF THE WEEK: Autumn at the Chinese gardens. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN For more photos go to www.newbendigophotos.com time for games” when it comes to taking action on climate change. They are using this tag line in their campaign specifically because the effects of climate change will be most keenly felt by children. The young people in Castlemaine and Bendigo spearheading the local School Strike for Climate protests are also acutely aware of this. It is incumbent on our politicians this election to address the grave concerns of our health professionals and school students alike. Being one of the political candidates for Bendigo this year, I am proud to be representing the only party whose policies address our climate emergency with the seriousness DEA have called for, and which meet the demands of the School Strike for Climate – the Greens. I ask each and every voter this election to consider the impact of their decision on future generations, particularly with respect to taking decisive and responsible action on climate change. Robert Holian, Greens Candidate for Bendigo

Elect a government WE are hearing a lot of promises and statements in this election campaign but the conversation is yet to turn to the issue that has been bothering us more than ever. The issue that has been on everyone’s lips for at least the past few terms of government is the lack of

actual government and leadership of this country. Sure we’ve had plenty of politicking and ridiculous behaviour in both houses of our parliament but no leader has managed to stand up with any authority and appear to be leading this place. I have always taken an active interest in politics and government and listened to the cynicism and criticism of politicians and generally dismissed it as just a negative cliché much as people bag car salesmen or banks. Now I find myself slipping into the same criticism of this generation of career politicians, particularly senators – Paul Keating’s “unrepresentative swill”, who are often deliberately elected by well-meaning voters who want to keep the House of Representatives governing party “honest”. Then there are the other senators who seem to get into six years of highly-paid employment with only a handful of votes because people either haven’t voted correctly on the idiotic Senate ballot paper or alternatively they don’t care and give no thought to the Senate, thinking that that bunch of eccentric, extremist crackpots will be a controlling factor on one party having too much power. It never ceases to amaze me who our senators are. These previously nameless, faceless characters, sometimes representing parties with crazily narrow interests find themselves doing multi-million-dollar deals with desperate governments trying to get their

legislation through. What we have is paralysis. No party has been able to actually govern this country unhindered in recent years. Throw in leadership disloyalty and bickering and you have a perfect storm of plenty of politics but no government. Our system of government with its Senate providing equal representation for states is not functioning the way it was intended. Party politics has taken over our system of government. I’m sceptical that Senators are representing their states. They are party driven. Strangely, my solution to getting some governing happening is to use our votes wisely. Elect a party. Let a party govern and get some things happening. Resist the urge to fragment our parliament. I’d love to hear a few more of these conversations in this election campaign period. I think Mr Morrison and Mr Shorten also need to reassure us about their goals for improving the look, sound and feel of government behaviour and the way they will do business. At the moment we are only hearing vote-buying dollar promises from them. It seems we are forgetting what has been really missing in the last decade or two. John Morton, Bendigo

Growing pains

2050 – It seems a long way off − but it’s not. In the next three decades, Bendigo’s population is expected to increase by about 80,000 people. That’s the equivalent of the communities of Echuca and Shepparton combined. Bendigo’s geographic location, climate, lifestyle opportunities and relatively affordable housing have combined to make our part of the world one of the most sought after in regional Australia. Our health and education sectors are the equal of any in regional Australia. Some would say, we risk becoming a victim of our own popularity, and unless definitive plans are drawn up and put in place now, the challenges posed by Bendigo’s incredible and ongoing growth spurt could become serious growing pains. We need better infrastructure – and lots of it, if we are to cope. We need more services – and lots

Editorial Comment of them, if we are to cope. It’s our responsibility to prepare and plan for those who follow, but in looking to our political leaders for inspiration, we instead find a system bogged down in the current three- or four-year election cycle. Caught up with a process that churns policies, politicians and priorities from one party to the next, we risk losing control of our destiny in an era where courage and vision play second fiddle to populist ideas and short sightedness. Don Erskine is a successful business owner and property developer who has an uncanny ability to look ahead of the curve and reap the advantages of doing so. Mr Erskine was one of the most vocal advocates for the super pipe

that now connects our region to Lake Eildon, and was the public face to the campaign led by this paper that helped gain the funding for the pipe. Trevor Phillips helped map out the future path of some of Melbourne’s major roads that have since been constructed. Today, those roads carry hundreds of thousands of vehicles across Melbourne. Together, Mr Erskine and Mr Phillips have more than a century of professional and practical experience, and they share a passion for Bendigo that drives their mutual interest in creating a better future for the city’s present and future residents. Their ideas are welcome and will hopefully inspire others. In coming weeks, the Weekly will present a series of articles we hope will promote greater discussion within our community about our city’s future, the challenges we face, and most importantly, the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

opinion By NICHOLAS NAKOS Bendigo Weekly Senior Journalist

JOURNALISM in a town the size of Bendigo has its challenges, but also its rewards. A Melbourne native my entire life, a trip up the Calder Freeway to embark on a career and life tree change has been interesting to say the least. Two months in, I’ve forged new relationships and created intriguing networks. I’ve laughed, cried, worried and fussed over details big and small, both inside and outside the office. Learning the ins and outs of a town of this size was certainly a steep learning curve. Culture, history, art, politics and infrastructure. You name it, I’ve challenged myself to be across it. In an age where news is so readily available, the weekly publication has some constraints. Even more so when you’re a journo just starting out with not too many people eager to tip you a story they might otherwise give your competitors in print, television or radio.

That changed a few weeks ago when I got a tip from a colleague about a story from St Kilian’s Church and their desire to include LGBTIQ people in the parish. The St Kilian’s story intrigued me, if only to hear about the parish’s thought processes and desires. It would have been easy to brush aside, handball to someone else or forget about altogether.

about acceptance, open arms and bringing people together. It’s not about race, gender, sexuality or history. It’s about how people can come together and be better together. I don’t follow a religious faith, but her sentiments were meaningful and sound. They flew in the face of the supposed values Folau espoused as gospel.

... “be kind whenever possible. It is always possible”. I interviewed the delightful Mary Fraser, who truly brightened up what was a challenging past week or so for the gay community. Rugby union star Israel Folau has been in the news for his repeated slurs against homosexuals and drunks and everyone who isn’t prim and proper. He is just one, high profile example and the flavour of the day when it comes to bigoted, prehistoric views on society. Mary spoke candidly

Whether or not LGBTIQ people will feel drawn to religious groups now or ever remains to be seen. My thoughts and opinions never clouded my professionalism when investigating the St Kilian’s story, despite my views. Impartiality is the key, but in my personal experience, kindness and openmindedness trumps it all. Mary’s kindness is what really spurred me to give this story a proper go and not just dismiss it as pointless rhetoric and grand plans

that will never eventuate. Bendigo held its first ever Pride Festival last month, as a celebration of culture, art, performance and our community. I had the pleasure of speaking to event organisers and artists and even viewing a short film, Untold Histories, which chronicled the life of older LGBTIQ people in central Victoria. One thing shone through and it was kindness. We are all people and have maybe even come from far and wide, but all call Bendigo home. The Dalai Lama has many famous quotes, but one of my favourites is, “be kind whenever possible. It is always possible”. That mindset has opened my eyes and opened doors for me in Bendigo in such a short space of time. The kindness of Mary and those organising Pride Festival has made me feel welcome in Bendigo and restored my faith in good people. So instead of being rash, I say be kind and be open minded. Its impact can be profound.

The genuine 30 year sale with never to be repeated prices, starting from just $15 a square metre is now winding down but there are still plenty of bargains to be had throughout their Sandhurst Road store. And remember if it’s not in stock they can order it in for you from their trusted suppliers. Bulk carpet, sheet vinyl, vinyl planks and carpet and rubber tiles it’s all here along with good old-fashioned service, being the secret to Taggerts’ longevity and success which first started from a farm shed in Woodvale. The other aspect to this highly reputable business is the genuine advice Trevor and Dora give all their customers.

Ziptrak for indoors or out

ITH more than 30 years’ experience in the blind industry, Brian from Central Victoria Blinds & Awnings, offers a professional retail, installation and repair service to home owners and builders alike with a range of blinds and awnings including the increasingly popular Ziptrak Exterior and Interior blinds. The Ziptrak Exterior system allows you to use your outdoor area year round, insulated against the elements including unwanted insects, mosquitoes and flys. The beauty of this system is that it also connects the indoors to the outdoors with the patented Ziptrak balanced spring system as simple as pulling the blind either up or down, while stopping at any point. There are no gaps, no zips, cords, ropes or wires.

While for interior applications the new Ziptrak Interior range brings the simplicity of the original Ziptrack system indoors with a range of discreet blinds with superior insulation, leading child safety features and finger-touch operation. Ideal for the bedroom or home cinema room, the Interior system is the perfect choice with a range of translucent or blockout fabrics. And since the blind sits within a side track, there are no light gaps present at either side of the blind, unlike most other types of blinds. For a free measure and quote either on site or off the plan, Brian is only a phone call away on 0418 506 542. You can also find him on Facebook, or check out his web page at www.cvba.com.au

Netball boom rolls on NETBALL remains the leading team sport for women and girls in Victoria, according to the latest AusPlay data released by Sport Australia. Netball Victoria chief executive officer Rosie King said this was a great result for netball in Victoria and reflects the work that the netball community has achieved. “We love the fact that in the current climate there are more opportunities for girls to sample other sports, so with this in mind, our aim is to have the best facilities, pathway, coaches and most welcoming environment where people continue to have a connection with netball at all stages of their life. “Victoria has such a strong athlete pathway, which is evident in national representation, our preelite team, Victorian Fury and the Melbourne Vixens, and with more visibility through media including the Channel 9 and Telstra TV broadcasts, the talent of our athletes is showcased and builds them as role models.” Ms King said she hoped that recently implemented gender regulation and male participation policies would provide expanded opportunities for boys and men to play netball.

PATHWAYS: Netball remains the most popular team sport for females in Victoria. Elite netball matches played at the Bendigo Stadium continue to draw capacity crowds as a further demonstration of the sport’s growing popularity, both for participation and as a spectator sport, while participation among junior players at the grassroots level is also strong. The survey showed that the top three motivations for people in

Australia to participate in netball were social reasons (52 per cent), fun and enjoyment (50 per cent) and physical health or fitness (45 per cent). The data also demonstrated that netball retains players for longer than other sports, with strong female participation into adulthood (18-24 years of age).

Lola paddles to stunning win

STAND UP: Lola Makar surprised herself by winning the challenge.

MANDURANG South’s Lola Makar has only been a marathon paddle boarder for five months, but already claimed a prestigious race win last weekend. Makar was the winner of the Gippsland Lakes Paddle Challenge, a 27 kilometre event from Paynesville to Lakes Entrance. Her time of three hours, five minutes and 13 seconds was the best of any woman in the field, dramatically eclipsing Makar’s expectations. “I set myself the goal of three and a half to four hours, so I was rapt with this time,” she said. Favourable conditions and a tail wind made for perfect racing conditions, with Makar opting to test herself at the 27km distance as opposed to the 13 km event between Metung and Lakes Entrance. Paddle boarding has been a passion of Makar’s for some time and she has been taking part in the sport for five years. “It is probably the biggest marathon event in the state and has been running for nine years,” Makar said. Major prizes on offer to competitors of the events were a stand up inflatable paddle board valued at $2000, a $1500 gift voucher from Charger Surf Craft and a personal location beacon.

Runners take on Lightning Hill EAGLEHAWK’S Lightning Hill played host to the latest run of the South Bendigo Athletic Club. The course is one of the most challenging on the circuit, with a long rocky and windy downhill section followed by several hills leading back to the finish line. The 6.5 kilometre distance event was taken out by invitational runner Kate Jones, who clocked a time of 30.57 to lead all female competitors.

Proven performer Will Noden once again was the best of the male runners, with a time of 24.04. Young runners were challenged in the one km race, which was a step up from the usual 800 metre event. Dustin Ketterer’s time of 4.21 was eclipsed by Kate Wilson, who continues to run strongly and crossed after 4.08. In the day’s final event, the 2000m, Allie Guillou crossed first in a time of 8.45, with Brady

Sheldon next at 9.49. The Eaglehawk Invitation at Lake Tom Thumb takes place tomorrow, with the South Bendigo Athletic Club’s next event at Heinz Street, East Bendigo on Saturday, 18 May. Runners of any level of fitness are welcome to join. If you would like to know more, call peter on 0417 684 306 or visit the South Bendigo Athletic Club Facebook page.

Braves on a win wave THE Bendigo Braves women trailed at half time of their round five NBL1 match against the Hobart Huskies, but thanks to a strong second stanza, prevailed 79-72 last Friday night to stretch their undefeated run to seven games. Kelly Wilson and Tess Lavey both played the entire game, scoring 27 and 26 points respectively. The Braves trailed by eight points at half time against a spirited Hobart team, who were led by Nikki Greene’s 31 points. Neither team had a strong contribution from their bench, with the Huskies the only to register scoring output from the second unit with just two points. The Braves men made it a winning night for fans as they got the better of Hobart in the second half time win 89-73. Ray Turner proved tough to stop for the visitors, with the big man dominating inside, scoring on

11 of 18 field goal attempts and adding 11 points from the foul line. Three Hobart starters registered double figure scoring games, with import Jalen Adams’ 25 points and 12 rebounds a highlight for the Huskies. The Braves men moved to 4-3 on the season and have put together three wins on the trot. Recent signing Mathiang Muo scored 10 points and brought down 9 boards against Hobart and is looking forward to a tough game against the Supercats. “They are physical and smart with veteran guys that have been playing together for a while and can run their system,” Muo said. It is the season’s only home Sunday afternoon double header this weekend, with the Braves hosting the Geelong Supercats. The Braves women’s match tips at 12pm, with the men to follow at 2pm.

Maroondah takes miners to first loss THE Bendigo Fighting Miners rugby team suffered its first home loss of the season in a 32-20 defeat to Maroondah. The visitors got the ascendency in the forwards for the majority of the match, despite a valiant effort from the Miners.

The early part of the match was controlled by the Griffins, who led 10-0 early. A 50 metre try against the run of play by Bendigo five-eighth and sideline conversion by Dave McDonald swung momentum briefly in the Miners’ favour, as they

trimmed the deficit to just three points. A late first half try by Maroondah was followed by two more in the second half, allowing them to take a decisive lead before the Miners had the final say with a late try. The Miners welcomed four new

players into their ranks against the Griffins, with prop Michael Creely, half back Mark Gudge and centres David Gudge and Joe Worthington all impressing on debut. The Miners travel to Ballarat tomorrow to play the Ratters at Doug Dean Reserve.

In line for top award By NICHOLAS NAKOS

BENDIGOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Jye Yates has been nominated for the coach of the year award at the Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards on Wednesday, May 22. Yates has facilitated balloon football programs at Bendigo Special Development School for participants who have multiple and complex disability under the age of 18. It is through his mentoring and coaching that players have been able to progress from the junior ranks of the Balloon Football League to the senior level, with three juniors recently registering for the 2019 senior season. A Balloon Football League player since the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception seven years ago, Yates has been heavily involved in the sport ever since. He has coached for two years and during his playing years, he has been voted best and fairest every year. A commitment to inclusivity is what makes Yates unique, with the creation of a junior player award after every junior match to highlight a different player each week who has developed their skills and contributed to the game. The two other coaches nominated in the coach of the year category are tennis coach Vicky Lee and Emma Poynton from para ice hockey. This is the 10th anniversary of the Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards, with a gala event to take place at Southbank in Melbourne. For more information visit www.dsr. org.au/awards.
