The Weekly look at the local real estate market
Bendigo drops rates BENDIGO Bank will decrease its variable interest rates by 0.20 per cent for all new and existing owner occupier and investor principal and interest loan customers. Interest only variable term loans will decrease by 0.15 per cent. Managing director Marnie Baker said the decision aims to strike a fair balance for the bank’s stakeholders. “When setting interest rates, we must consider the needs of all our stakeholders; customers, shareholders, partners and the broader community and carefully balance the interests of both borrowers and depositors. “We’re operating in a record low interest rate environment. When reviewing any decision on rates, we must also ensure our pricing is competitive with the market, provides the appropriate platform for sustainable growth, and enables us to continue to support the hundreds of communities we service nationwide.” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has been critical of banks that failed to pass on the latest rate cut in full, while the Reserve Bank of Australia also believes there is no impediment to the commercial banks passing on all of the cut. The RBA’s minutes from the April board meeting included
claims that funding costs for the big banks had fallen to record lows. For his part, newly installed shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers has said that if the federal government was doing a good job in managing the economy, the RBA wouldn’t need to consider cutting interest rates. The Bendigo’s interest rate changes take effect from Friday, June 28. THE Master Builders Australia says the opportunity to get the housing market moving again has never been greater. Chief economist Shane Garrett said this month’s reduction in the RBA cash rate brings it to a new all-time low of 1.25 per cent, after almost a decade without an increase in interest rates. “The RBA has cut interest rates 12 times since late 2011,” he said. “Since then, over 735,000 home loans have been issued to First Home Buyers. Combined with the recent APRA review of lending criteria and the new FHB Deposit Scheme, today’s decision represents more good news for those seeking to become home owners for the first time.” Mr Garrett said a real opportunity now existed for dragging
BALANCE SOUGHT: Marnie Baker. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN the housing market back in the right direction. “In finalising their budgets over the coming days and weeks, state and territory governments should seize the chance to get the housing market firmly back on its feet by enhancing incentives for First Home Buyers and taking initiatives to support new home building,” he said. PROPERTY prices fell across Australia at the start of the year, but industry leaders expect an upswing in coming months. The Real Estate Institute of Australia says weighted average median prices decreased in the March quarter, with houses declining 2.2 per cent and other dwellings 1.4 per cent. REIA president Adrian Kelly said while data for the March 2019 quarter showed a continu-
ing decline in the market since June 2018 for both houses and other dwellings a number of factors are pointing to a stabilising market. “With the election out of the way and no change in property taxation, a cut in official interest rates in June and the possibility of a further cut later this year, we should see the market, which is already showing signs that the rate of price falls is declining, stabilise,” Mr Kelly said. “The rate cut, unlike the last series of cuts in 2015 and 2016 which stimulated investor activity, will benefit first home buyers who have seen their numbers decrease nationally to 23,403 in the March quarter 2019, down 19.7 per cent for the quarter and a decrease of 11.6 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2018.”

Call for urban renewal
ONE of the authors of a bold plan for Bendigo as a city of 200,000 in the year 2050 believes urban renewal is critical to the revitalisation of the central business district. Strategic transport planner Trevor Phillips said the absence of people from the CBD for much of the day is contributing to a decline in commercial activity. “A second reason is the displacement of offices out of the CBD so that office workers are not interacting in commercial transactions,” Mr Phillips said. He drew comparisons to the Melbourne CBD in the mid-80s when the “Project Postcode 3000” was successfully launched to re-populate the city
Planner says re-zoning crucial for growth using mainly high-rise apartments, and said the Bendigo bank development was a classic example of urban renewal in our city. “The existing CBD is predominately single-story development with limited ‘historic’ buildings providing notable exceptions, such as Hunter House and the Mill.” Mr Phillips suggests the area between Edwards Street and Myrtle Street should be declared a redevelopment zone, with buildings re-purposed into medium/high density residential, and parking incorporated under residential units.
Nominated historic buildings would be preserved. The proposal echoes inner-city developer Scott Jackman’s suggestion that residential buildings on the CBD fringes be returned to their original use and people currently working in such premises be encouraged into the CBD. However, Mr Phillips said his idea would involve consolidation of existing land titles so that the redevelopment is done on a street block by block basis, not by individual titles. “In time, similar treatment could extend north of Mitchell Street,
east of Hargreaves Street between St Andrews Avenue and Myers Street.” He remains a critic of planning regulations that have allowed for a proliferation of the many “lifestyle” blocks on the perimeter of the city, which he claims represent an impediment to orderly future expansion of the city. “Over time these areas should be re-zoned to allow redevelopment to normal urban density. This comment particularly applies to the areas within the likely expansion areas of the future city.” Mr Phillips, together with former
Bendigo Bank and Coliban Water director Don Erskine, has called for a rethink on Bendigo’s rapid growth and for decisions to be enacted now to allow for adequate and essential infrastructure, housing and employment in the future. The pair say modern-day urban growth policy is based on a centralist model which promotes the CBD and promotes incremental growth around the existing urban zones. “This policy, if taken to extremes, will lead to all the bad features of urban congestion so evident in many urban areas particularly Melbourne. The policy also fails to recognise the dramatic changes in retailing introduced with the digital age.”
MP ANNOUNCES PREGNANCY FEDERAL Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters and her partner Matt Emond have announced they are expecting their first child, to be born later this year. Ms Chesters issued a statement on Wednesday, in which she confirmed she was 14-weeks pregnant and in good health. “Whilst a little nervous, we are happy and excited to become new parents,” Ms Chesters said. Ms Chesters is expected to start her maternity leave in November. The Federal Bendigo electorate office will continue to function as normal.
BENDIGO WELCOMES WETTEST DAY BENDIGO experienced its wettest day of the year so far on Wednesday. In the 24-hours to 9am Thursday, the city’s official rain gauge at the Bendigo airport received 14.6mm, with five mm falling the previous day. So far this month, Bendigo has received 29mm, following a welcomed 68.8mm in May. Coliban Water storages above Malmsbury have received more than 50mm in the past 10 days, and the onset of wet weather has resulted in almost 600 megalitres of water flowing into storages in the past few days.

Commission endorses city application THE Australian National Commission for UNESCO has endorsed the City of Greater Bendigo’s application to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network as a City of Gastronomy. The endorsement means Bendigo city will now forward its application to UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, where it will be considered alongside all other applications from around the world. Australian National Com-
mission for UNESCO Chair Kylie Walker said the application was praised for being well-considered, comprehensive and inclusive. In particular, the application was praised for its consultative approach which embraced traditional owners. The commission acknowledged the Dja Dja Wurrung, and Bendigo’s celebration of International Year of Indigenous Languages which included an indig-
enous seasonal calendar. The calendar raises awareness of sustainable land-use practices and the traditional cultural knowledge of the region. The submission was also praised for its support for the sustainable development goals and its potential to inspire new approaches to inclusive growth, both within Australia and globally. “We are thrilled to have our application make it to this point
and to receive such positive feedback from the Commission,” Cr O’Rourke said. “We have cleared the first hurdle by having the Australian National Commission for UNESCO approve our application. However, we know the next step and the application’s evaluation in Paris is the most challenging part of this process, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. We hope to hear in November whether we have been successful.”
ARENA UP FOR ARTS HONOUR BENDIGO-BASED Arena Theatre Company has received a prestigious Helpmann Award nomination for Robot Song, a show about a friendship between an 11-year-old girl on the autism spectrum and a giant robot. Robot Song premiered at Bendigo’s Engine Room in July 2018, shortly after Arena relocated from Melbourne to Bendigo to become the resident company of the Capital Venues and Events complex. Robot Song is on an Australian national tour, and is nominated for Best Presentation for Children and Young People. This is Arena’s third Helpmann Award nomination. Winners will be voted by Live Performance Australia members, and will be announced at the Melbourne Arts Centre in July.

Fast rail gains traction
THERE is increasing support from regional Victoria for a fast rail service connecting Melbourne to key cities including Bendigo that could be funded and built in conjunction with the $10 billion Melbourne Airport Rail Link. The Stronger, Together report, commissioned by the City of Greater Geelong, proposes a fully-electrified commuter rail network between Melbourne and Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat, Shepparton and Latrobe. The 200kmh network would also service Tullamarine and Avalon airports, as well as interim towns. The report draws on the input of leading urban planners, transport and rail experts to determine that the project is affordable and
can be delivered to Geelong and Ballarat within five to seven years. It says all regional fast rail lines, except Latrobe, can be constructed within the $10 billion already allocated by the Victorian and Commonwealth governments to the Melbourne Airport Rail Link. “Conversely, if Tullamarine Fast Rail is designed without regional fast rail functionality in mind, this could shut out forever the ability to change the Melbourne-regional spatial relationship for the better,” Stronger, Together reads. The network would be planned and built in parallel with the Airport Rail Link tunnel, Sunshine station and metropolitan suburban track duplications.
In March, Regional Cities Victoria chair and Greater Bendigo mayor Margaret O’Rourke said greater connectivity between regional cities, as well as to Melbourne, would make them even more attractive, and boost local economies. “Improving the transport infrastructure in regional cities is crucial, and it is critical that the various major rail projects – Geelong Fast Rail, Melbourne Airport Rail Link, and Suburban Rail Loop – are aligned to optimise connectivity to regional cities,” Cr O’Rourke said. Recent research by RCV found that, while regional cities rate well in areas such as housing affordability and natural amenities, rail reliabil-
ity and speeds in regional areas required significant improvement. “Fast rail will transform regional cities. It would improve access to employment and education opportunities in the regions,” Cr O’Rourke said. The Stronger, Together Report released this week was commissioned by City of Greater Geelong. The fast rail project would transform the state, stimulating growth in regional Victoria and reducing population pressure on Melbourne. The report argues the network has the potential to grow regional Victoria’s population by one million above current trend by 2050. It would provide around
2.7 million regional Victorians with access to fast rail to Melbourne, with 1.27 million of those within 35-45 minutes of Southern Cross Station. About 8000 jobs would be created during construction, with the high-capacity electric train fleet also providing manufacturing and maintenance jobs. The key element is the shared western Melbourne fast rail tunnel, which would allow Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton trains to shave minutes off their journey and run more frequently. Stronger, Together argues that it is essential that service frequency and seating capacity is increased to match reliablyincreased demand.
bHive abuzz with great ideas
INTEGRATING MUSIC: Students from regional primary schools at St Francis’ of the Fields.

Catholic festival brings students together in song NEARLY one thousand Catholic school students gathered at St Francis’ of the Fields Primary School in Strathfieldsaye yesterday for a music spectacular. Grade five and six students from 11 regional primary schools descended on Bendigo for the event, to be part of one of the largest choirs to ever perform on stage in the region.
The concert was part of the Festival of the Sacred, a biannual event. The festival is part of an Arts strategy from the Sandhurst Diocese that highlights the partnership between Catholic Education Sandhurst and the Australian School of Performing Arts. Director of Catholic Education Sandhurst Paul Desmond
said he was looking forward to attending the festival. “It’s wonderful to see music and singing becoming such an important part of the educational experience for these students, and to be able to provide something special for the kids to look forward to and work towards,” Mr Desmond said. Thursday’s recital was the first
time all performers came together as they had been honing their skills in their individual school settings. Event organiser Claire Spinelli said the Festival of the Sacred had something for everyone. “The repertoire for this year’s concerts included two high energy dance numbers and a variety of choral offerings,” Ms Spinelli said.
THE inaugural $60,000 Great Ideas Grant has been awarded to the bHive Cooperative Villages project, a community owned person-to-person digital sharing economy platform. The City of Greater Bendigo and Fosterville Gold Mine launched the grant earlier this year to kick-start great ideas for social innovation in the Bendigo community. Mayor Margaret O’Rourke said the selection panel was impressed by the outstanding proposal from the bHive Cooperative and the benefits the project would deliver to the local community. “Through the grant $60,000 was available to undertake a project that applies new ideas and ways of doing things to improve our community’s wellbeing and sustainability,” Cr O’Rourke said. bHive’s platform is an Australian first that allows Bendigo residents to create, own and run enterprises that provide access to local goods and services. The company was established by four locals, with founder Ian McBurney noting national interest in the initiative. “We are so pleased that Bendigo is taking the lead and kick-starting the development of our platform,” Mr McBurney said. Fosterville Gold Mine Vice President of Australian Operations Ian Holland said the project is a unique opportunity for the community. “I’m looking forward to seeing this project roll out and the connections made in the community,” Mr Holland said. The platform will also connect groups together across the region to build social capital, share free resources and skills, run events together and communicate collectively and individually.

Date set for e-waste ban
By NICHOLAS NAKOS
FROM July 1, all e-waste will be banned from landfill sites and kerbside bins across the state. E-waste is any items with a plug, battery or cord that is no longer working or wanted. It includes computers, mobile phones, microwaves, printers, televisions, heaters, gaming consoles and kitchen appliances. These items must now be disposed of at a designated e-waste drop-off point. The City of Greater Bendigo’s resource recovery and education manager Brooke Pearce said a ban on e-waste to landfill was introduced by the Victorian government to recover materials left inside e-waste that can be reused.
“From July 1, residents will need to take their unwanted e-waste to one of the city’s transfer stations located in Heathcote, Strathfieldsaye or
We’re making sure... households know how to dispose of e-waste properly Goornong, or the Eaglehawk Recycle Shop,” Ms Pearce said. The city received $280,000 funding from the state government to provide e-waste drop off points and upgrade existing e-waste collection and storage facilities. According to the Min-
ister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio, e-waste is the fastest growing stream of waste worldwide. The state government has invested a total of $16.5 million to help councils across the state to deliver an education program to support the ban and upgrade e-waste storage and collection facilities. “We’re making sure Victorian households know how to dispose of e-waste properly and easily ahead of the e-waste to landfill ban on July 1,” Ms D’Ambrosio said. The e-waste from televisions and computers alone will increase to 223,000 tonnes in 2023/24, a spike of 60 per cent on figures taken in 2012/13.
City hosts collection trial HOUSEHOLDS in Flora Hill, Kennington and Axedale have been invited to take part in a three-month Reuse and Recycle Home Collection trial from Monday until September 13. The City of Greater Bendigo’s waste, resource recovery and education manager Brooke Pearce said households in the trial area will be eligible for one free collection of certain unwanted re-usable or recyclable household items by contacting the city to book a collection during the trial period. Items that can be disposed of during the trial include unwanted furniture, whitegoods and e-waste. Items that cannot be disposed of through the trial include tyres,

liquid of any form, general waste, green waste and asbestos. “Council has received plenty of comments about illegal dumping and the need for a hard waste collection service,” Ms Pearce said. “After considering this feedback from community members, council has committed to undertake the trial.” Flora Hill and Kennington were chosen as trial sites due to their close proximity to Strathfieldsaye Transfer Station, while Axedale is close to the Heathcote Transfer Station. Results from the trial will help council determine whether such a service could be introduced at a cost to the householder across the municipality.

Bendigo Health on a mission BENDIGO Health’s waste officer Cindy Bird is ambitious when it comes to recycling. About 83,000 kilograms of recyclable waste has been collected from the Barnard Street site in the past 12 months. Some innovative recycling measures are being introduced, thanks to Ms Bird’s ingenuity, that she hopes will boost the amount the hospital recycles. Hospital bed curtains, ubiquitous across the health service, are changed every 12 months and are sold to Bendigo Health as being recyclable. A baler arrived last week to Bendigo Health allowing for these curtains to finally be recycled. “We work with Replas in Ballarat, who can make the curtains into tables and chairs,” Ms Bird said. Since commencing in her role last November, Ms Bird has been on a mission to recycle more e-waste, ahead of the
July 1 ban on e-waste to landfill. “Since I started, we have recycled 150kg of small batteries from medical equipment with Battery World in Bendigo,” she said. And it doesn’t stop there. Printer cartridges, soft plastics and PVC are also on the recycling champion’s hit list and there’s plenty more that can be done. “Statewide, 45 per cent of what went to landfill could be recycled,” Ms Bird said. One of the challenges is in education and getting staff, patients and visitors to put the right things in the right bins. Nurses have been particularly astute when it comes to recycling, Ms Bird said. “Nurses want to see everything recycled, they even bring little things to me and ask me if they can be recycled,” she said. With Bendigo Health creating a total of 626,272kg of waste at Barnard Street, of
which 471,000 is general waste, there is scope to do more. “Our strategic plan is to reduce waste to landfill by 2023... I want zero waste,” Ms Bird said. She joked that her job title should reflect her latest mission. “I’d like to change my title to recycling officer. Not waste officer. We don’t want to waste anything,” Ms Bird jested. With Plastic Free July just weeks away, there will be a renewed push to reduce plastic use, with only two per cent of soft plastics in Australia being recycled. Bendigo Health is working with Cleanaway to recycle soft plastics, which are used extensively in packaging. When asked why recycling is so important, Ms Bird had a pragmatic answer. “Climate change and the world. Eaglehawk Landfill won’t be open forever.” – Nicholas Nakos

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN IT is a reflection of Bendigo’s support for refugees that a dedicated awards night will be held next week on World Refugee Day, June 20. The Refugee Week Business and Employee Recognition Awards night will be hosted by Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR) Bendigo. “Bendigo punches well above its weight in regard to refugee employment,” Christine Cummins, Convenor of RAR Bendigo said. Ms Cummins said over 40 businesses, which employ hundreds of former refugees, have created around $70 million of economic activity in Bendigo, according to a recent Deloitte report. She is the author of
Dignity in A Teacup: true stories of courage and sacrifice from Christmas Island and will be one of the speakers at the awards night. There will also be a panel discussion designed to inform employers of opportunities, as well as refugee recruitment success stories. “Hundreds of Australian businesses are actively seeking refugees to add value to their recruitment strategies,” Ms Cummins said. “Refugees not only earn money, they spend money and add multicultural richness to our city and region. Many employers report that refugees are among their most trusted and loyal staff.” Some of Bendigo’s major employers have
been nominated for the inaugural awards. Nominees have completed a survey on their employment practices such as recruitment, induction and training practices. Workplaces have also nominated an employee in each category for the RAR Bendigo Employee of the Year awards. As part of the night’s proceedings, guest panellists will include Dean Russell, co-founder of Moira Mac’s Poultry, refugee advocate Helen Musk and Zahir Azimi of Bendigo Community Health. Apart from RAR, the dinner is supported by the Grandmothers Against the Detention of Refugee Children, Friends and Mentors (refugee support group),
Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services, Bendigo Community Health Service and the City of Greater Bendigo. Financial support for the dinner has been received from both the Commonwealth Bank and ANZ, and corporate funding from local businesses. Ms Cummins said the gala dinner was initiated to highlight and celebrate the work of local employers. Award winners will be announced on World Refugee Day, Thursday, June 20, at the gala dinner and ceremony at Fortuna Villa, Bendigo.

DOGS Connect is a learning program that introduces a dog to the classroom, with Bendigo’s Weeroona College the latest to introduce the initiative. The learning program helps to improve culture in schools by focusing on student wellbeing and connectedness. It is based on academic research around student wellbeing and applied learning, combined with experience from a range of teaching and behavioural manage-
ment practices. Dogs Connect founder Grant Shannon said he is excited to see more school communities committed to improving the culture and wellbeing of their students and staff. “Our aim is to help create lifelong learners through improved wellbeing, awareness and connection,” Mr Shannon said. Dogs Connect and Bendigo Community Health Services are partners in this project and are both thrilled to see

UNWANTED carpet fibre saved from landfill will be repurposed into art and craft items at this weekend’s CraftAlive Bendigo at the Bendigo Showgrounds thanks to the eagle eyed staff at the Eaglehawk Landfill. City of Greater Bendigo Resource Recovery and Education Manager Brooke Pearce said a staff member had noticed the bales of fibre entering the Eaglehawk Landfill on a regular basis and started to divert the material because she believed that it could somehow be repurposed. “It’s always a good thing when things can be saved from landfill and re-used in other ways and this is a prime example of this,” Ms Pearce said. “The fibre which hailed from Victoria Carpets was basically the end of the fibre roll and could not be used in the company’s commercial weaving machines. While the company reprocesses left-over fibre where possible, if it contains a bit of mixed colour it usually ends up in the landfill. “The salvaged fibre will now be used in demonstrations throughout the Bendigo and other CraftAlive events in Australia.” CraftAlive is Australia’s largest craft event series with events held in most states.

DRIVER REMANDED THE man accused of dangerous driving in relation to last week’s death of an 18-year-old Bendigo cyclist will front court again in October. A 42-year-old Quarry Hill resident faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday, where he did not make an application for bail and was remanded in custody. His arrest follows the death of Michael Keating, who police allege was riding his bike near the intersection of Woodward Road and Hattam Street in Golden Square, about 12.10pm on Friday, June 7, when he collided with a truck being driven by the Quarry Hill man.

Transport shows improvement in reliability MORE than 87 per cent of services on the Bendigo train line were on time during May, according to data released by Public Transport Victoria. PTV chief executive officer Jeroen Weimar said May was a challenging month on Melbourne’s train network, but V/Line delivered 86.5 per cent of services on time, a 6.2 per cent increase on the same month in 2018.
The regional rail operator also delivered 97.1 per cent of its scheduled services. Mr Weimar said V/Line’s three busiest lines, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, all delivered significant improvements in punctuality when compared with May 2018. Of the three, the Bendigo line recorded the biggest improvement, setting punctuality at 87.3 per cent, up 10.3 per cent on the
same period last year. “We continue to work hard to deliver a service that our regional passengers can rely on while maintaining the network improvements we have seen over the past 12 months,” Mr Weimar said. “We’re working with all operators to improve their punctuality and reliability as well as enabling the major program of essential infrastructure upgrades to the
state’s public transport network to be delivered.” V/Line’s punctuality target is 92 per cent. On commuter services, punctuality is measured on time to five minutes 59 seconds. On long distance services it is measured on time to 10 minutes 59 seconds. The company’s reliability target is for at least 96 per cent of scheduled services to run.
ACCESS Australia Group has announced Liz March as its new chief executive officer, succeeding Michael Langdon. Ms March was previously the organisation’s chief operating officer. Her appointment coincides with the not-for-profit’s move to its new head office at 18-20 St Andrews Avenue, Bendigo after more than two decades in Mundy Street. The group specialises in supporting people with a disability, mental health issues and youth and employs more than 200 professional staff across its divisions.

Keep the conversation going FOR the past two weeks in letters to this newspaper, an important conversation has begun about the direction Australia will take during the next three years of government. Pat Horan and Wendy Hebbard outlined their concerns for the future. I echo their concerns, and I encourage others who share them, to speak out publicly. We know that beyond our personal needs and concerns, we must look to the needs of others, and we must care for this fragile planet. For if we don’t, what will the future hold? Let’s remember that politicians are employed by us, to do the best for us, and for Australia. What Australians and the government need to hear are rational voices, ideas and solutions. Let’s keep the conversation going. Jan Govett, Strathdale
Roundabout courtesy FOLLOWING a recent accident there was talk of replacing the roundabout at the top of Mitchell Street with traffic lights. I was probably one of the few people in Victoria who mourned the loss of the huge roundabout at the junction of Royal Parade and Flemington Parade in Melbourne. There were no lights. There were cars and trams and pedestrians constantly passing through it and mishaps were, I think, relatively rare. It forced drivers to use the T word: Think. I believe that roundabouts are a simple, cost effective, low tech, low energy alternative and I would personally be sad to see the one at the top of Mitchell Street turned into a traffic light-controlled intersection. I use this roundabout daily and drivers are, for the most part, patient and careful. There is a lot of give and take. I’m personally not highly offended or irate if someone does the wrong thing. I believe that courteous interactions and responses encourage other such interactions. I occasionally see high-speed drivers enter this roundabout who look determined to give zero tolerance and the size of the roundabout does allow high speed crossings with minimal deviation. This defeats the purpose of them I believe. I watched the introduction of an effective roundabout into the entrance to Daylesford. They included a painted area around the centre that invited
vehicles to take a circuitous path around it but there was still allowance for large trucks to navigate carefully over the painted area if they had to. An issue that is geographically close to this Mitchell Street conversation is the ridiculously small and tight entrance to one of the largest shopping centres in central Victoria with drivers navigating busy lanes of traffic, railway station traffic, a huge tree root “speed hump” and a petrol station. Sounds crazy but it also seems to work simply because of driver patience and courtesy. Just like roundabouts. John Morton, Bendigo
Bill of rights needed THE issue of rights and freedom of speech and press freedom is essential in a democracy. The case of whether the Australian Federal Police had any right to raid the ABC and journalists’ homes is based on the law. The AFP acted within the law. What we need now is a complete discussion by our legal representatives and politicians on changing the law by bringing into force a bill of rights which protects free speech, association and free press. One is reminded of history and the United States federal agents’ raids carried out nationwide on Russian immigrants in 1919. This led to the opinion of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr on free speech: “When men realise that time has upset many fighting faith, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundation of their conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade of ideas. That at any rate is the theory of our constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.” This is about the power of free and vigorous debate to change our way of thinking. A vivid affirmation of the very principal Justice Holmes so eloquently defended. Bill Collier, Bendigo

PICK OF THE WEEK: Shadow play. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN For more photos go to www.newbendigophotos.com with a view to reducing the risk. The council is to be applauded for being proactive. However, it might be another case of the powers that be assuming responsibility for other people’s actions. The roads are dangerous places. It behoves all of us to be aware and responsible when using or crossing roads. Which is why my co-worker and I stood with mouths open and watched a man come down McIvor Road, in the outside lane, on a skateboard. We then watched in disbelief as he went around the Murphy Street roundabout the reverse way. The police and the government are concerned about the rising road toll. Despite the best efforts of all the authorities, you cannot legislate against stupidity. I commend the City of Greater Bendigo for taking action to make our city safer. But I would also remind people that they are responsible for their own actions. Murray McPhie, Epsom
Newstart comparison IT’S not what your country can do for you, it’s what you can do for your country. So, let’s cut to the chase. Who could live on Newstart? Answer – no one. If a Newstart applicant was given, say, a $40 a week rise, it would cost the forward estimates
$3.2 billion dollars over the next four years. Franking credits are estimated to cost $28b dollars over the same period. Luck can play a large role in your life, but bad luck should not relegate you to the forgotten bin with little hope. Before the usual people start complaining about “dole bludgers” and the like, just ponder for a moment and reflect on what you would do in the same circumstances, because the attitude in Australia now is “I’m alright mate, so stuff you”. Australia has changed so much over time, and the beneficiaries of these changes are the baby boomers. But they are also the fiercest critics of the younger generation, and people displaced from employment 20-plus years from retirement, who do not have the luxury of walking out of one job into another like they did. Some work multiple jobs just to survive, and will never own a home as a consequence, so people who have seen the best years of Australia, should not selfishly stand in the way of others making their way in the world.

Crossing issues I HEARD and noted with interest a radio news item recently about pedestrians crossing High Street south of the fountain instead of using the traffic lights at the fountain. The main reason why this hap-
pens is that to cross at the traffic lights one has to go down to the slip lane and cross the slip lane, then wait for the lights to change to cross the first part of High Street and reach the centre island and fountain. If the wind is changeable, you’re likely to receive a drenching by the fountain and then you must wait for the lights to change again to finally reach the footpath on the other side. I daresay the people who want pedestrians to walk down and use the traffic lights don’t do it regularly in the heat of the day in summer or in wet or windy weather. I have previously written to VicRoads about the northern side of the same intersection where a similar thing happens – if you cross the first part of High Street at the lights at normal walking pace you reach the other side just in time for the walking man to change to red, then you stand there for a full cycle of lights in the weather while the car drivers and passengers (which aren’t moving either) sit and watch from air-conditioned comfort. The response I got to this query is that some tweaking of the light cycle was possible, but the most important thing was to keep the traffic moving. Given that council is trying to make the city better for pedestrians maybe it’s time to look at what could be done to make it easier for pedestrians to cross in this area. David Cay, Bendigo

Local arts thrive Editorial Comment Both the festival, and the gallery, are a tribute to the hardworking individuals, supporters and sponsors who recognise the value in backing the community they are part of. For that we should always be grateful. For the gallery, this week’s announcement signals the beginning of a new era. After Karen Quinlan’s incredibly successful reign as director, a period that helped entrench the gallery as arguably one of the best regionallybased arts and cultural institutions anywhere in the world, it’s time for a new director to make their mark. By her own admission, Ms Bridgfoot comes from a contemporary background and she yesterday stated she would like to see more diversity and interactive experiences in the gallery during her time. She rightfully points out the great exhibition spaces that have been created and says her team will work with new artists from Australia and beyond to ‘ramp up our program of curated contemporary exhibitions’. We wish Ms Bridgfoot, as the Bendigo Art Gallery’s new director, every success as she launches into
NEW DIRECTOR: Jessica Bridgfoot. the most challenging and hopefully rewarding time in her career. Her success will be Bendigo’s success, and there is a long list of government and corporate supporters who will be just excited about the next chapter in the gallery’s incredible story under her stewardship. It must also be noted that the gallery would not exist without the support of the City of Greater Bendigo and the generous backing of the state government. This partnership has underpinned the gallery’s elevation during the past decade and we hope it continues to deliver such positive benefits for our city and region.
opinion By LISA CHESTERS Federal Member for Bendigo
ONE of the great joys I’ve had as the Federal Member for Bendigo is donating new books to schools in the electorate. If a school has a book club, I make a cash donation so that the students can choose. It’s so critical for our schools to have libraries. Not only do they provide a safe and inclusive space, but reading teaches children literacy skills, develops their imagination, and builds research skills for the future. It’s disappointing to see that due to funding constraints, many school libraries are understaffed or closing altogether. Many libraries are not
kept up to date; some don’t even stock current atlases or educational materials. Smaller schools really struggle to purchase new books as, sadly, new library books are almost seen as a luxury item.

Research shows a clear link between school libraries... and academic success It’s the reason why I spend time donating books to schools across the region. Research shows a clear link between school libraries and library staff to improvements in reading and academic success in students. School libraries play a key role in developing
vide a quiet, safe space for young people to enjoy. Many Bendigo electorate schools are working to keep book clubs alive, encouraging young people to get involved and talk about literature. Library professionals can also help students find the most relevant information, identify credible
sources and correctly cite references. Despite the growth of the world of technology, there’s nothing quite like reading a physical book. There’s still creates great excitement in that. Just ask a young community member what their favourite book to read is. There’s always a cheer when I present a school with new Harry Potter, Roald Dahl and even Captain Underpants books. Reading can help children expand their horizons, build empathy, see the world through others’ experiences, and find answers to issues they may face. I encourage all central Victorians to get reading and make sure reading is socially acceptable.

IT’s been a big week for Bendigo’s thriving arts and cultural precinct and today’s Bendigo Weekly front page encapsulates it well. On the one hand, yesterday’s announcement of curator Jessica Bridgfoot as the Bendigo Art Gallery’s next director is a wonderful story that offers as much excitement and potential for our gallery, its supporters and the community at large. Alongside this is the Bendigo Writers Festival program, which is included in today’s paper. In a very short amount of time, the Bendigo Writers Festival has grown into a festival of some significance, and is already, like the gallery, an institution unto itself and one that is extremely well regarded and a highlight on the city’s busy culture and arts calendar. The Bendigo Writers Festival, an institution in just its eighth year, has grown from its home base at the Capital and its wonderful heritage surrounds to encompass the superb Ulumbarra Theatre, the Trades Hall Council building, a couple of sojourns into the surrounding region and now even the Bendigo Bowling Club. Bendigo, it seems, has an insatiable appetite for ideas, for the arts and for honest conversations with the bevy of authors, performers, politicians and personalities that have all left their mark on the festival in the past eight years.

Ray and his team are seeing more and more vehicles that have flammable refrigerant, often installed by unlicensed repairers. Bendigo Auto Air and 4 Wheels Auto Electrical also provide a mobile service
to the agricultural and earth-moving industry for air conditioning servicing, as well as a large, modern workshop able to accommodate a range of vehicles.

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

State unveils BRIT plan
review
A time to roar THE LIONS’ TORMENT Blanche d’Alpuget $32.99 Ventura ON both sides of the Narrow Sea that separates continental Europe and Britain, the 1160s are a tumultuous decade for the nobles who rule not only Normandy and England but also an enormous, sprawling region stretching all the way south around the Bay of Biscay to Spain. Henry II, jointly Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine and King of England, is supported on the throne by his siblings Hamelin the Merlin (an illegitimate half-brother) and Viscount William, the youngest of the late Count Geoffrey the Handsome and Matilda’s three sons. On the periphery hovers Thomas Becket, Chancellor of England, skilful financier and fawning sycophant – a man obsessed with Henry, fortune and fame in equal measure. With so much land under its control, the Norman Plantagenet dynasty is feeling threatened. To the east French king Louis VII (whose ex-wife Eleanor is now married to Henry) is disgruntled by the Normans’ attack on the city of Toulouse; further north the Germans, under the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, are massing troops for a possible invasion; and in the Vatican Christianity is cannibalising itself as rival factions squabble over the legitimacy or otherwise of two opposing Popes. England, too, is in political turmoil: the Archbishop of Canterbury is dying and the church is riddled with self-serving degenerates positioned beyond the reach of Henry’s secular laws. From his base on the River Seine at Rouen, Henry reigns over one of the biggest kingdoms his world has ever known. In a melee of beautiful, entitled men and powerful, rich women, the Plantagenets and their courtiers jostle for position and favour, surrounded by intrigue and espionage, lasciviousness and piety. One of Australia’s most multifaceted authors, Blanche d’Alpuget couples the exacting skills of biography and saga with the irreverence of pop-fiction to breathe life into characters who lived almost a millennium ago. – Rosalea Ryan
THE state government has released artist impressions for the Bendigo TAFE’s Bendigo City Campus Revitalisation Project. The designs, by award-winning Victorian architects Architectus and Six Degrees, are the next step in the $60 million redevelopment, due for completion by early 2021. The redevelopment in-
cludes a new Learning Hub – a one-stop-shop for learning and student support, with collaborative spaces for students, teachers and the community to engage in social and learning activities. There will also be a new Industry Innovation Centre – an accessible interface between Bendigo TAFE and industry for
business development, student work placement, course development, and applied research and innovation. The project also involves the relocation of the current Bendigo Technical Education Campus operations to the Bendigo City Campus. A builder is expected to be appointed in September, with
Memorial shortlisted for awards THE Bendigo Soldiers Memorial Institute has been shortlisted for two awards in the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects. In a project jointly funded by the federal and state governments, the City of Greater Bendigo, Bendigo District RSL and the local community, architects Lovell Chen helped to ensure the viability of the building through restorative and reconstructive works. Specialising in conservation, principal Dan Blake said it was important to preserve the existing structure, while building a new gallery and storage space within the constraints given to Lovell Chen by Heritage Victoria. “The building is a unique construction built over a redundant mine shaft,” Mr Blake said. The Bendigo Soldiers Memorial Institute is one of the most significant military history collections outside of the ACT, with the new gallery borrowing collections from Canberra and other museums to fill its gallery space. The memorial has been shortlisted for awards in two categories: heritage architecture and sustainable architecture, which will be announced on June 28.

And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 2:Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope on him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

Ironing out bogus clothing and laundry claims THE Australian Taxation Office will target false clothing and laundry workrelated expense claims, after more than six million tax payers claimed workrelated clothing and laundry expenses totalling nearly $1.5 billion in 2018. Many Australians can claim clothing and laundry expenses, but it’s unlikely that half of all taxpayers are required to wear uniforms, protective clothing or occupation-specific clothing according to Assistant Taxation Commissioner Karen Foat. “You must have spent the money you are claiming on buying or cleaning eligible clothes. While you don’t need receipts for claims up to $150, we can ask how you calculated your claim,“ Ms Foat said. “Last year a quarter of all clothing and laundry claims were exactly at the record-keeping limit. But don’t think that we won’t scrutinise a claim because we don’t require receipts.” The ATO is also concerned about the number of people claiming deductions for conventional clothing items, because they only wear them to work.
Your workplace may expect you to wear clothing items like suits or black pants. But an official ‘dress code’ doesn’t qualify as a uniform and you can’t make a claim for normal clothing, even if your employer requires you to wear it to work. “We don’t ignore incorrect claims just because they are small, because small amounts add up,” Ms Foat said. “No matter how small, it’s not okay to expect other Australians to pay for your dodgy claims.” The ATO’s data-matching software is constantly improving and identifies unusual claims by comparing taxpayer claims to others in similar occupations. “We’ll be taking strong action this tax time to protect honest taxpayers who are claiming the right amount – no more and no less.” Taxpayers who can’t substantiate their claims may have them refused, and can be penalised for failing to take reasonable care when submitting their tax return. For more information about workrelated expenses, speak to your tax agent or visit ato.gov.au/deductions

Runners bound for Bundoora FLACK Advisory Bendigo Region’s cross-country stars will continue their push to climb the ladders in this Saturday’s third round in Athletics Victoria’s XCR19 series. Racing at Bundoora Park doubles as selection trials for the national cross-country titles and also the Victorian All Schools cross-country championships. Bendigo Region is second in men’s divisions two and five after the opening rounds at Jells Park and St Anne’s Winery in Myrniong. Athletes in the open and masters divisions will race 10km on the gruelling slopes at Bundoora Park. Distances for juniors cover 3km, 4km, 6km or 8km. A talented division two men’s squad for Bendigo includes Andy Buchanan, Brady Threlfall and Kye Jenkyn. The first of Saturday’s events is at 10am. Bendigo Region’s runners in the open and masters divisions at Bundoora are Andy Buchanan, Jayson Carter, Darren Hartland, David Heislers, Kye Jenkyn, Luke Millard, Nigel Preston, Joanne Russell, Ben Stolz, Stephen Van Rees (University); Anne Buckley, Juliet Heah, Brady Threlfall, Jill Wilkie (Bendigo Harriers); Debby Kirne (South Bendigo). South Bendigo’s Archie Reid will race in the under-20 8km contest. Juniors bound for Bundoora are Harriers’ Harrison Boyd, University’s Jayden Padgham, and South Bendigo’s Logan Tickell. After not fielding a team in round one, Bendigo was runner-up in women’s division four at St Anne’s Winery and eighth overall as Collingwood Harriers and Doncaster are joint leaders. In the 50-plus women’s class, Bendigo was second in round two, and the region will be vying for points in 40-plus women, 50-plus men, and division seven men.

Sharp notches up 150 STRATHFIELDSAYE continued its winning ways with a dominant display against South Bendigo in last weekend’s Bendigo Football Netball League action. The Storm’s key forward Lachlan Sharp celebrated his 150th senior match for the club with an eight goal return in a match where the Bloods were restricted to four majors, all of them from the boot of Kaiden Antonowicz. In a clash billed as the match of the round, Gisborne reinforced its premiership credentials with a hard-fought win over Sandhurst at the Gardiner Reserve. After a close tussle throughout the first half, the home side powered away in the second half to run out worthy winners, 14.20 (104) to 12.6 (78). Eaglehawk bounced back to form with a 125-point victory over a hapless Kyneton in their clash at the showgrounds. The Borough cast aside their previous loss to smash the Tigers 21.14 (140) to 1.9 (15), and while the victory might not have been a surprise, the final margin was. Maryborough made it two in a row when they scored a deserving 30-point win over Kangaroo Flat at Dower Park,
17.16 (118) to 13.10 (88). Both sides were coming off wins and victory at Dower Park was always going to give one of the combatants momentum and improved confidence for the second half of the season. It took a dominant thirdquarter from Maryborough to break the game apart and set up the victory, which was the Magpies’ third for the season. In the other match, Golden Square pulled no punches in running away for a 19.20 (134) to 6.11 (47) win over bottom side Castlemaine at the Camp Reserve. Tomorrow, Maryborough hosts Strathfieldsaye, Eaglehawk plays Kangaroo Flat, Golden Square and Gisborne loom as the match of the day, South Bendigo and Castlemaine meet in the bottom of the ladder clash, and Sandhurst plays Kyneton at the Queen Elizabeth Oval. In last weekend’s netball action, Gisborne’s impressive 53-38 win over arch-rivals Sandhurst saw the Dragons’ unbeaten run come to an end, as the home side exacted some revenge for last year’s grand final loss. In other games, Eaglehawk won against Kyneton, Kangaroo Flat won against Maryborough, and South had a good win over Strathfieldsaye.

The secondary school student dominated races in both single and double sculls and was presented with her award by former British Olympic rowing coach Richard Hamilton. The award for the most promising young female sculler, the Hannah Every Award, was won by Pip

Country club seeks new members SET in a pretty rural locale the Lockwood South Bowls Club is informal and friendly and without the pressures of the larger clubs It is, however, on the hunt for more members. If you’re looking for a warm community environment, the club will welcome you with open arms.
After a fire in June 2004 the clubrooms were destroyed but the rebuild resulted in a charming building. When Division 6 Pennant is playing during the summer months the bowling green accommodates the members. In winter everyone retreats
indoors to play carpet bowls. Two stalwarts of the club, George Manallack and Warren Hoffman, would love to see an increase in membership. Warren is the reigning club champion and George runner up. During the pennant season delicious afternoon teas are prepared

Bendigo retains top comp BASKETBALL Victoria’s Country Championships will be returning to Bendigo for three years, starting from next year. The championships schedule has been locked in for the next three years following the success of the 2019 Country Championships, which saw 309 teams and 3408 participants take part. Bendigo Basketball Association and Bendigo Stadium will continue to host the under-12 Championships in 2020 and 2021, as well as the under 16/18 division one and two Championships from 2020-2022. Bendigo Basketball’s general manager of sport Ben Harvey said he’s thrilled Bendigo will be hosting the Country Championships in the future. “These events are extremely prestigious for BVC junior squad representative teams and to host them at the regional Victorian home of elite basketball is incredibly aspirational for these young athletes,” Mr Harvey said. Ballarat and Traralgon have also been selected to host events in the next three years across a range of age groups.

Brave face in finals lead up By NICHOLAS NAKOS
WITH just six home and away games remaining in the NBL1 season, it’s all systems go for the Bendigo Braves in the lead up to the finals. The teams will be in Albury to play the Bandits tomorrow night at the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre. The Braves women have won 12 of their 13 games so far this season, but guard Tessa Lavey left no doubt the team was out to snare top spot.
We know we aren’t happy with being second “We know we aren’t happy with being second. We want the top spot,” she said. The Bandits women are mid table at 6-6 and coached by Australian basketball great Lauren Jackson. Her knowledge could be key for the Bandits and the Braves are up for the challenge. “We enjoy playing against good players and great coaches. It
HIGH HOPES: Captain Ray Turner. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
NO DOUBT: Tessa Lavey. will be interesting to see what they do against us,” Lavey said. At 6-7, the Braves men are in 10th position in the standings and
will be hoping for an uplift in form if they are to play finals. Captain Ray Turner was bullish about the team’s hopes, particularly given how late some of their import players have joined the roster. “We have had an up and down season with not everybody being here from pre season,” Turner said.
“The best Braves basketball is moving and sharing the ball and being smart down the stretch,” he said. It’s rivalry round in the NBL1 this weekend, with this fixture against Albury not a traditional grudge match, although last season the Braves men won a double overtime thriller against the Bandits. The women’s match tips off at 6pm tomorrow, with the men to follow at 8pm.

City’s boxing coup
By NICHOLAS NAKOS
BENDIGO is gearing up to host boxing royalty in August, with Jeff Horn set to step into the ring against Michael Zerafa at Bendigo Stadium. The Weekly understands the Saturday, August 31 bout is close to a surety, with final negotiations underway to secure sufficient sponsorship fees and give the bout the green light. The 19-1-1 Horn lost his welterweight championship to Terence Crawford last June and then brushed aside Anthony Mundine in half a round in Brisbane last November. Horn has moved up from the welterweight division and warned his 27-year-old opponent Zerafa that his punching power has only increased in recent times. Tickets to the bout at the 4000-seat Bendigo Stadium are expected to be the hottest tickets in town when they are released, with a boxer the calibre of Horn seldom fighting outside of major cities. Horn rose to prominence in 2017 when he defeated then WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision after 12 rounds in front of a sellout crowd at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. A Horn-Pacquiao rematch has been floated since Horn’s famous win nearly two years ago, but the Brisbane school teacher is still waiting for the Filipino to come to the party. “Pacquiao claimed he really won the fight against me in Brisbane and we’ve given him plenty of opportunities to fight me again,” Horn said. Zerafa, aka Pretty Boy, has a 26-3 record and plies his trade predominately in Melbourne. He won his only bout this year in April, knocking out Les Sherrington. Securing a big name such as Horn, a former world champion, would be a massive coup for Bendigo, and for the Bendigo Stadium, which has a long held ambition to secure major national and international events to the city since an extensive redevelopment in 2018.
