Peta Murphy dies Dunkley MP Peta Murphy died surrounded by family last Monday, 4 December. Murphy (pictured left at a Nairm Marr Djambana event in 2022) was rediagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Pictures: Yanni
Tributes flow for ‘courageous’ Peta Murphy Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au PETA Murphy’s first speech as federal member for Dunkley quoted her literary hero, Pippi Longstocking. Pippi was being warned by her friend Annika to refrain from taking on “the world’s strongest man” in competition. “Man, yes,” said Pippi. “But I am the world’s strongest girl, remember that!” The speech came just weeks after Murphy received a devastating cancer re-diagnosis. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, and again in
2019 around the time she was elected the first ever female member for Dunkley. Murphy carried Pippi Longstocking’s attitude with her during her four years in Parliament. In spite of deteriorating health, she continued to work hard for the people in her electorate who needed a fighter on their side. Last Monday, 4 December, Peta Murphy died. She was just 50 years old. In the week since Murphy’s death, tributes to her have poured in across the country. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was the first to declare his admiration
for Murphy on the day of her death. “While Peta’s was a life so very well lived it is hard to come to terms with the fact she is no longer with us - passing at just 50 years of age. Far too young with so much more to offer,” he said. “Peta Murphy was brave, she was courageous, and she was loved. Peta Murphy was the strongest of local members, the most inspiring of colleagues, and the very best kind of friend. “As someone who inspired such affection and respect in the hearts of so many, she was never alone.” Murphy was a very familiar face
around Frankston, having first run for Dunkley in 2016 prior to her 2019 election. She met countless people during her time in politics - almost all who met her have spoken glowingly of her kindness and compassion in the days since her death. In her final moments her wish to be surrounded at home by those she held most dear was granted. Murphy’s husband of 24 years, Rod Glover, released a joint statement alongside her parents Bob and Jan and her sisters Jodi and Penni on the day of her death. “We loved her deeply and are so, so proud of her achievements, her character and her courage. She
was indeed the strongest girl of all. Still giving sassy advice until the very end - she died the way she lived - with dignity and strength and a touch of sarcasm to boot,” they said. In her maiden speech Murphy spoke of her love for her family. She called her husband “compassionate” and “brilliant”. “He’s my most constructive critic, my most loyal supporter, and my greatest friend. I wouldn’t be standing here without him and I wouldn’t want to,” she said. Murphy shared two dogs with her husband: Bert and Ernie. Continued page 3

MP leaves behind a legacy OBITUARY
Peta Murphy, 1/11/1973 - 4/12/2023 Federal member for Dunkley Continued from page 1 Murphy was born in Goulburn in 1973. Before her election she worked in law - Murphy was a Victorian Bar barrister from 2008 to 2016, including a two-year stint as a senior public defender at Victorian Legal Aid between 2012 to 2014. She unsuccessfully ran for Dunkley in 2016 before her 2019 election. She retained the seat for Labor in 2022 with an increased margin. Murphy’s ill health did not repress her tenacity in Parliament. She fearlessly took on Australia’s gargantuan betting industry over its conduct in a senate inquiry this year. Its final report, which recommended that online gambling ads be banned in the next three years, was a crowning achievement of her tenure. Even in the final days of her life, Murphy continued to work. She travelled to Canberra to launch a Breast Cancer Network Australia report and attend Parliament the week prior to her death. She was hospitalised the day after her final appearance in Parliament. Murphy’s efforts in her electorate have been recognised by her long-time friend, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke. He said “her recognition in the local community was remarkable. The community adored her. I think that’s because they could truly relate to her.” “Peta was so genuine and authentic and so bloody down to earth. She told it like it was. No bullshit. No sugar coating. If she said she was going to help, she did. If someone mentioned to her that they were booked to have a double mastectomy, just like the procedure she herself had undergone many years before, she’d remember that conversation and she’d call them the night before their operation to offer her warmth, her reassurance, her support,” Edbrooke said. “She took on the causes, and wow did she take them on. Advocating to anyone and everyone - in
support of Medicare, cheaper childcare, better care in aged care homes, more GP bulk billing and urgent care clinics, affordable homes, ending homelessness, better wages, addressing impacts from online gambling, gender equality, the Voice, and of course breast cancer support and awareness and most recently, a national register for people with metastatic cancer.” The mayors of Frankston Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire also praised her local impact. Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said “going above and beyond to advocate for Frankston City was in Peta’s DNA. She was both fearless and tireless in delivering for her community.” Mornington Peninsula mayor Simon Brooks thanked her for helping provide $15 million in federal funding towards Emil Madsen Reserve, saying “as a result of Peta’s advocacy for our community, the lives of countless local residents who use the reserve will be enriched for many years to come.” Outside of politics, Murphy was a sports fanatic. She was a force to be reckoned with on the squash court, and a frequent fixture at local sporting events. Frankston Dolphins president David Friend said “Peta’s legacy will live on at the Frankston Football Club, as we continue to advocate for better awareness and resources for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.” Murphy was a tireless advocate for breast cancer research and funding. Her maiden speech highlighted the importance of checking for cancer. “Let’s be frank. Cancer sucks,” she said. “Ladies, check your breasts. Men, stop ignoring what your body’s telling you. Fellow members of this parliament, listen to the experts who warn that the promise of universal health care is under threat. Commit to the reform and funding that our health system needs and do whatever is required to ensure that Australia trains, retains, and invests in the healthcare professionals and researchers who make our system great.” For more information on breast cancer screenings visit breastscreen.org.au

Mural brightens rehabilitation hospital FRANKSTON High School students have teamed up to create a mural for rehabilitation patients. The mural has been painted at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital. It was brought to life by year 11 students Clemence Redey, Monet Wischki, and Taimana Edmands Redey said it was rewarding to give back to the community. “I liked the idea of doing something for my community and to help make the hospital stay for patients a bit better,” Redey said. A pomegranate forms the heart of the new mural. St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital director of clinical services, Karen Ward, said “the pomegranate is an important symbol to St John of God Health Care. It represents our heritage - as the original symbol of the Sisters of St John of God - and our vision for the future.” The mural is now permanently on display in the gym.

Motorcycle crash investigated POLICE are investigating a crash between a car and motorbike in Frankston last month. Police say a red Honda CBR650 motorcycle was seen speeding through Frankston at around 5pm on 27 November. The bike allegedly reached speeds of more than 220kmph travelling from Mornington along the Moorooduc Highway, Peninsula Link, and Cranbourne Road. The bike allegedly nearly hit a pedestrian near Ballam Park, and later collided with a silver Ford station wagon near Wattletree Lane.
The driver of the bike suffered serious injuries in the crash. The 21-year-old man from Somerville was taken to hospital for treatment. The Ford driver, a 51-year-old Metung man, was also hurt and taken to hospital. Police are seeking witnesses who saw the motorcycle that day before the crash. They have also asked the woman who was allegedly nearly hit near Ballam Park to come forward. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Hundreds take home plant-based meals SINCE starting up two years ago, a Frankston-based not-for-profit is now feeding around 400 people healthy meals each week. Project Fresh Start was founded by chef Jolene Gailitis in 2021. The organisation provides nutritious meals, and feeds around 400 people each week through its free community fridge project. Gailitis said “I am so proud to show off the great work that Project Fresh Start has been doing. I love getting to know the people in our community and helping to create a space where locals can feel safe and come together for a
nutritious meal. Our patrons frequently express how much they appreciate the positive impact of our plant-based meals. For many, it is their first experience with plant-based food, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.” The program runs out of the kitchen at Chisholm Frankston. Gailitis said “we are fortunate to use their facilities and are thankful for their on-going support in the community. Using the kitchen at Chisholm at their Frankston campus as our base has enabled us to transport food to more locations, helping us feed even more people in need.”
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke visited the kitchen last week. He said “Project Fresh Start exemplifies the true spirit of community. Their commitment to providing nutritious meals, fostering inclusivity, and tackling food waste is a shining example of grassroots efforts making a significant impact. I commend Project Fresh Start for their outstanding work in Frankston, embodying the values that strengthen our community and uplift those in need.” The community fridge can be found at 20 Young Street in Frankston.

Bikes donated to school A BRAND new set of bicycles has been donated to Aldercourt Primary School in Frankston North. The donations were made by children’s charity Variety. It donated 22 new bikes, 30 helmets, and 22 combination locks in partnership with Kone Elevators to the school. Variety has been running its “bikes for kids” program for 21 years. It has donated nearly 13,000 bikes in that time. Aldercourt Primary School PE teacher Paul Dadds said the new bikes will “provide our students with more opportunity to engage with the bike ed program that we already run. We currently don’t have enough bikes and helmets to
go around, so students lose time on bikes each lesson to swapping out equipment.” “We have students currently that can’t ride a bike. With more bikes available in our program in a range of sizes and more time to teach skills, we will hopefully reach these children,” Dadds said. For more information on the program visit varietybikesforkids.org

‘Surreal’ exhibition opens A NEW exhibition from the artist behind the Love Flower sculpture has opened at McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin. John Meade created the Love Flower with Emily Karanikolopolous. It has been at the Cranbourne Road overpass of the Peninsula Link freeway for the last four years, and has now moved permanently to the McClelland Gallery’s sculpture park. John Meade: It’s Personal! is now open at the gallery. It runs until 17 March. McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne said the exhibition reflects “various threads in Meade’s work relating to alterity, including queer culture, politics, and artistic experimentation”. “Through sculpture, video, and installation, John Meade draws relations between the metaphysical and
surreal in the experience of contemporary life and culture. A refined and adventurous materiality defines his work, through sensuous forms and unexpected juxtapositions inflected by the erotic and uncanny,” she said. “McClelland is an entirely relevant site for the survey exhibition given Meade’s respected standing within Australian sculpture, and his long history with the area and the institution. Meade’s family live in the area, and a video work to be included in the show was shot on the freeway near the gallery and sculpture park.” McClelland Gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive in Langwarrin.

“Successful events like this one would not be possible without the efforts and support of our Rotarians, their families and our event sponsors. I extend our deepest thanks to the City of Frankston, ClubLinks, Centenary Park Golf Club and the Frankston Wranglers, along with all our sponsors, for their generosity,” he said. The 2024 charity golf day is expected to be held at the Centenary Park Golf Course on Sunday, 27 October.

Project looks at improving end-of-life care Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au A 12-month project on the Mornington Peninsula to improve end of life care in residential aged care centres could set a new standard for the treatment of people with life-limiting illnesses. The government financed Community Palliative Care in Aged Care Project is being administered by Peninsula Home Hospice in Mornington. The not-for-profit organisation provides specialist palliative care to people in their home, whether that be residential aged care or the family home. Its team of medical and support professionals focuses on optimising quality of life for people diagnosed with a palliative illness. The project follows on from the Royal Commission into Aged Care, which made 11 palliative care and endof-life recommendations. The recommendations included that palliative and end-of-life care should be considered a core business for aged care providers and that pain must be minimised, dignity maintained, and residents’ wishes respected. Their families should be also supported and informed. Peninsula Home Hospice CEO Janet Phillips said aged care centres were often a person’s final place of residence before they died, and that the model being trialled aimed to ensure high quality end-of-life care was provided. “The Royal Commission into Aged Care heard cases where care provided to people in their last weeks and days of life was severely lacking and fell

well short of community expectations,” she said. “In response to these findings, we are very excited to commence this pilot project that will increase palliative care support for residents in three aged care facilities across our catchment - from Portsea to Mordialloc Creek - with the new model using palliative care needs rounds where the
staff at the aged care facility will discuss any residents that need specialist palliative care with Peninsula Home Hospice’s aged care team. The team consisted of medical palliative care consultant Dr Lizzy Gascoigne, specialist palliative care nurse Tania Bhasin and counsellor case worker, Daniel Shaw. “Peninsula Home Hospice is
strongly advocating for increased government funding so this support can continue and expand when the project ends in 12 months’ time,” Phillips said. The team at Peninsula Home Hospice was working with aged care providers and staff to reduce patient presentations to emergency departments, under a “stop and watch”
system where all staff were involved in monitoring changes to a resident’s condition. Such close observation often involved tracking of chronic disease and effective and constant communication between care givers. “This system encourages better communication between all staff who deal with a patient, empowering staff and putting the residents’ needs first,” Phillips said. “What we know is that if we can manage pain and illness well, and keep people in their comfortable, familiar surroundings, they do better, they are happier, and they have a better end-of-life experience.” The hospice was started almost 40 years ago by volunteers who wanted to ensure those wanting to stay in their own home as they faced a life limiting illness were able to do so. Since then, PHH has evolved into an accredited specialist community palliative care service that receives state government money and additional fundraising and philanthropic grants. In 1998, PHH won a Department of Human Services tender to provide a comprehensive palliative care program delivered by a team of professional workers and volunteers – a model that is still in use. PHH services are available free to those who need palliative care on the peninsula, in the City of Frankston and part of the City of Kingston.

Defibrillator claimed by canoe club THE Patterson Lakes Canoe club was one of five Victorian community groups to receive a defibrillator from St John Ambulance last month. St John Ambulance Victoria gave the club a G3 Elite Semi-Automatic Defibrillator, valued at $2150. St John Victoria CEO Gordon Botwright said “having more easily accessible defibrillators out in the local community, can be the difference between life or death during a cardiac arrest.” “If patients are shocked by a publicly accessible defibrillator, their chances of survival can increase from as low as 5 percent to as high as 70 percent – as seen in some parts of the world. This is why the availability of defibrillators in all parts of the community is crucial,” he said. “We are incredibly proud to be working with inspiring organisations like Patterson Lakes Canoe Club. They submitted a worthy application and clearly care deeply about the health and safety of their members and the wider community.”

FRIDAY
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO
SEVEN, 10.45pm
FRIDAY
This bombastic thriller from cult director Edgar Wright is a psychological trip laced with horror that’s unlike anything he’s done before. A comingof-age tale, crime mystery and period drama all in one, it’s a bold creation that begins with young and naive Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) arriving in London. After moving to a spooky old house, her first snooze in her creepy room sees her transported to the ’60s – Eloise has somehow time travelled into the life of glamorous nightclub singer and dancer Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy, pictured). You could call it a rather beautiful nightmare.

ABC TV, 7.30pm
THURSDAY
THE DOLL FACTORY
SBS, 9.30pm
Based on Elizabeth Macneal’s violent Victorian London-era thriller, this six-part series is a potent adaptation. Featuring Derry Girls’ Saoirse-Monica Jackson (pictured), it’s a female-led tale exploring desire and the world of art, with a spot of taxidermy and obsession adding to the intensity. In the penultimate double episode, Iris and Louis (George Webster, pictured) grow closer.
The crew puts the finishing touches on its 34th season with a Christmas-themed episode filled with festive ideas and stories to make you smile. It’s nature’s bounty that remains the greatest gift of all for host Costa Georgiadis and his enthusiastic presenters, though gift ideas and jolly educational segments are abundant. What would Costa give for Christmas? Besides his sunny and spirited demeanour, garden beds are it. Tammy Huynh creates living wreaths using beautiful plants and Clarence Slockee (pictured) unearths the facts about the vibrant Christmas beetle. Clarence Slockee in Gardening Australia

Peta Murphy: fondly remembered … as an exceptional role model I am writing to express our sincere condolences concerning the tragic passing of Dunkley MP Peta Murphy. She was much loved and deeply admired by all the members of The Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN). Peta was a woman of great integrity, strong convictions, kindness and compassion. Like so many others who met her, we truly appreciated Peta’s warm and engaging personality, her willingness to listen and delightful sense of humour. Most especially we admired her determination to advocate for justice, particularly in support of those who were marginalised. Peta’s unfailing determination to achieve the enshrinement of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the Constitution will long be remembered. Earlier this year, Peta honoured us by accepting our invitation to launch our book, When Women Meet, that records the 26 year history of our volunteer led, community organisation. In her address she spoke passionately about the important role that women play in community development and social change. Not only that. Within a month, Peta took our book to Canberra and spoke in parliament about the powerful and important contribution that women, such as the members of SWAN, make towards building a more just and equitable society. We could not have imagined a more fitting and moving tribute to recognise the collective social justice efforts made by women in this southern metropolitan region over the past three decades. Peta Murphy will be fondly remembered by all our members as an exceptional role model, not only for those who knew her, but for future generations of women who seek empowerment, truth and justice. Like her own role model, Louisa Dunkley, she will continue to stand tall in this country’s historical record. Diane McDonald, facilitator Southern Women’s Action Network
Lack of support I notice there was no balance in response of the half page article on federal cuts to programs affecting the peninsula (‘Blatant disregard’ for peninsula, The News 28/11/23). Zoe McKenzie wrote “These cuts demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of local community needs and a disgusting disrespect for the peninsula”, which is hypocrisy in the extreme, coming from our Flinders federal representative who, since taking office, has voted against: Capping gas prices; encouraging Australian based industry; federal action on public housing; increasing transparency of big business by making information public; letting all MPs or senators speak in parliament (procedural); net zero emissions by 2035; net zero emissions by 2050; the Paris climate agreement; and legislation to make wage theft a criminal offence, all of which are of benefit to people in the Flinders electorate. If Zoe McKenzie, who holds this seat with a margin of only 5.6 per cent, down from 6.7 per cent, thinks it’s OK to go along 100 per cent with the federal Opposition no-hopers at the cost of programs of benefit to us, is not a disgusting disrespect for the peninsula and a complete lack of understanding of local community needs, I can promise she will be reminded at the next federal election. Danny McCaffrey, Mornington
costs businesses up to $200,000 each. Our rates money? This is all instigated by our friendly global unelected leaders at the World Economic Forum, UN, WHO and their puppet masters. This is global and people need to wake up asap. When I write to councillors about this issue, the response is always the same – we are being “inclusive”. In Black’s Law Dictionary, in legal terms, that actually means “to the exclusion of all others”. Take that in and have a serious think of who council works for, our community or lobby groups? Judy O’Donnell, Mount Martha
Transparency lacking I, and many others have written to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council CEO, the mayor and councillors asking when the Pride flag will be taken down. My question was not answered but I received the standard reply: “Council does not intend to provide you with further correspondence about this matter”. This is contrary to the councillor code of conduct where it stipulates their commitment to engagement and transparency. I was also told to refer my question to the Ombudsman, who I believe has more important issues than sorting out than council misbehaviour. No-one in this council was prepared to explain why this flag is still flying and when it will be taken down. In fact, Cr Susan Bissinger was gagged and forced to be re-educated for her support of ratepayers asking this question. Imagine my surprise when I read in the council newsletter Peninsula Wide (page 5) that they will continue to fly this Pride flag. That means while we, the ratepayers, asking this question were being ignored and told to refer to the Ombudsman, the council had already made the decision to continue to fly this Pride flag. That’s not transparency and, in my opinion, is basically dishonest. Their obvious disrespect and arrogance towards the ratepaying community is out of control. If this council can be deceptive on such a simple issue, it makes me wonder about its honesty in other areas of ratepayer importance, such as transparency in financial management. I suggest we replace the Pride flag with the Veterans flag, a neglected group who proudly served this country. Ellen Bigelow, Blairgowrie
Debating ‘art’ The new sculpture on Peninsula Link, to me, resembles an engineering drawing of oil-drum brackets for handling heavy drums (Compass points the way, The News, 5/12/23). No matter which way you look at it or from what perspective, it is not art. Bring back the grumpy stainless steel giant gnome, which at least was interesting and became somewhat famous. The Chardonnay-sipping society set, devoid of taste or culture and appraising art only by money, will no doubt approve this chunk of metal because of its $300,000 price, and call me a philistine. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Not so silent I was amused by a letter from a regular contributor about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council flying the gay pride flag (Flag needs answers, Letters 5/12/23). For someone who claims to be “one of the silent vast majority” he has a lot to say. Ian Dale, Rosebud
Contradictory terms I just found out that some of our Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, plus environment, social issue, religious groups and some schools signed a Rainbow Pledge in 2020, which has been created by LGBTQ+ activists, the Pride lobby and pushed by the Greens with the threat of shaming and naming those who don’t sign (Flag needs answers, Letters 5/12/23). Now every decision goes through that lens, which includes flying the rainbow flag on council buildings, participating in pride events, setting up an LGBTQ+ advisory committee, developing and implementing an LGBTQ+ action plan and achieving Rainbow Tick accreditation for its services. Sixty-six of Victoria’s 79 councils now fly the flags. Port Phillip council voted down the proposal for “Rainbow tick accreditation” which

And how our councillors brag about what they’ve achieved. I’d just like to see even footpaths. As I’m in my 80s, I have to watch every step I take, and to manoeuvre the paths around here you have to be so careful. Main Street and surrounding streets have uneven footpaths, great yellow “trippables”, and numerous dogs on long leads. It’s not like Civic Reserve. We have to drive there to walk on smooth pebblecrete paths, kilometres of walks to Craigie Road and beyond, but it’s safe. Please, can we do something to bring back our parrots and wrens, and please could we have safe walking right here in Mornington? Wendy Doyle, Mornington
Women’s sport
Bragging, but no birds I received the [Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s] glossy Peninsula Wide in the post this week. Where are the parrots pictured on the front? I live by Memorial Park, Mornington, and the only birds I see are pigeons, mynas, and ravens, which scare every other bird away.
I would like to see The News give coverage of women’s sport on a weekly basis as is done for some local men’s sports. If there is agreement, I would ask all readers involved in women’s sport to consider offering their assistance. This initiative may only be possible if clubs provide results and editorial information including highlights and perhaps arrange photos. David Gill, Red Hill Ward councillor Mornington Peninsula Shire
‘Guarded optimism’ I attended what, I guess, was the inaugural meeting of Mornington Peninsula Council Watch. I have to admit that I almost did not go as I have seen these organisations come and go, but with a
great deal of skepticism I attended. Have to admit that I left with a guarded sense of optimism. I invited councillors to attend to listen, and “keep their yaps shut”, to hear what their electors had to say and then “After biting your tongue if you can still speak after the meeting you can stick around and blow some smoke up some individuals”. I was challenged on this last statement and responded that if I said where to blow the smoke my email would have been rejected by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Just a bit of fun. Two showed up, the mayor Cr Simon Brooks, and Cr Susan Bissinger. Cr Sarah Race apologised for having family commitments but thanked me for the information. Two councillors, whose names cannot be mentioned, abused me for inviting them and the other six, apparently, couldn’t give a flying flamingo. The deputy mayor did not acknowledge the invite. The abusers and the flying flamingos could not have made it any clearer about their disdain for electors’ views, which brings us to a systemic issue of just who they represent? The abusers and flying flamingos just don’t get it: we are in this together and the electors, no matter how outspoken or critical, are not the enemy. Their absence will be noted at the next council election, just like how they voted on the “open briefings to the public’’ issue (Transparency backed, but ‘secret’ talks stay, The News 28/11/23). They will be held accountable in the future for their votes and actions by the electorate. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach Frankston Times

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Health of Frankston – “Fecto” Disinfector to be Installed Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT Friday’s Council meeting the Health Committee reported that after full investigation it recommended that the “Fecto” system of sanitation be adopted, together with the Carrum bylaw relating to same. Cr. Mason said the Council intended doing all possible to safeguard the health of the people. It was proposed that an order be given for 700 “Fecto” appliances. The total number of premises to be served would be about 800. Some owners already had various systems installed. These would not be interfered with, provided they were satisfactory. Cr. McCulloch objected to the Council being tied down to one system. Cr. McLean: If we don’t decide on one particular system we will get boxed up. As a Council we should recommend one system. Cr. Armstrong agreed with Cr. McLean. The merits of “Fecto” had been abundantly proved. Cr. Oates supported Cr. McCulloch. “Fecto” was a fluid, and he considered that provision should be made for the powder system, which was much cheaper. Cr, Mason moved, and Cr, Gray seconded, that the report of the committee be adopted. An amendment by Crs. McCulloch and Oates was to the effect that the report be referred back to the committee. Cr. Gray. We have heard all about the other machine, and I will stand or fall by my convictions. Crs. McCulloch and Oates put up a strenuous fight in favour of the amendment, which was lost. Cr. Oates called for a division,
which resulted as follows: For the Amendment: Crs. Oates, McCulloch, Longmuir, and Hutchinson. Against the Amendment the President and Crs. Alden, Mason, Gray, May, Bradbury, Wells, McLean and Armstrong. The motion was then put and carried. Authority was given the “Fecto” Manufacturing Company to proceed with the installation at once, so as to have the system in working order before Christmas. *** MRS. R. Morgan announces through our advertising columns that in her beautifully cool tea rooms, in Young Street (opposite Station), she is catering for the summer trade, with all kinds of high class confectionery, ice cream, (special flavour), and a large assortment of soothing soft drinks, right off the ice. *** YESTERDAY the work of installing the electric light at Frankston Railway Station, subway, and approaches was commenced. It is anticipated that the installation will be completed well before the Christmas holidays. This will prove a boon not only to residents, but to the many visitors who in the past have found it rather difficult to negotiate the ill-lighted ramp and subway. *** MR. W. Macafee, the well known Wells Street tailor, has opened a gents Mercery Department, and is specialising in shirts, hats, socks, blazers, tennis and cricketing trousers, in fact anything pertaining to the wants of the up-to-date summer man. Mr. Macafee, draws special attention
to his large and varied stock of readyfor-service lounge and sports suits, which he is offering at prices which absolutely defy comparison. *** MR. H. Stell, of the Peninsula Motor Garage, was fortunate in securing the local agency for the up-to-date “Overland”. This car is the very latest word in motor car manufacture, a special feature being its Treplex springs, which, to use the words of the maker, “unslant the hills and level the road.” No longer need the prospective purchaser of a car experience the disadvantage of any limitations to his satisfaction. The New Overland embodies the finest achievement in design and construction, including electric lighting and starting systems, and the complete equipment of all the latest style of accessories. The Overland Service is at the disposal of every Overland purchaser, ready to advise you upon any question of the cars and operation of your car, and ensure its being available for service all the time. The price is £295, marvellously low for such a sterling car. *** MR. J. Nott Marsh is spending a holiday at Kongwak, at his son’s residence. *** MR. Les. Ward, of the Frankskton Railway Staff, has returned from his holiday, which, he informs us, was thoroughly enjoyed. *** MR. and Mrs. P. S. McGovern and Mrs. Jacobs returned from a most enjoyable motor trip through Gippsland.
*** MR. W. E. Watktins has recovered from his recent severe attack of influenza, and is about again. Cricketers as well as his other numerous friends will be pleased to note this. *** MR. W. H. Pike, a patient in Caulfield Military Hospital, for the past 12 months, the result of war injuries, has been allowed by his doctor a six weeks’ spell at Frankston. His many friends join with us in wishing that the change will be of the greatest benefit. *** IN the Prize List of the Geelong Grammar School, published in yesterday’s “Argus”, appears the name of Murray Maxwell, son of Dr. C. and Mrs. Maxwell, of Frankston. He obtained first prize in his Form (Lower IV) as the result of his first year’s work at the school. *** MR. Casey, of the Pier Hotel, who had recently recovered from a severe illness, has, owing to the strain, been compelled to relinquish business. Accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Casey, he left Frankston yesterday, and after a few weeks’ rest will probably retire into private life. *** MRS. Harry Golds is progressing favourably after her recent severe illness. Her many friends will be pleased to learn this. *** AT Friday’s Council meeting, Cr. McCulloch inquired who gave authority for cutting ti-tree on Main Road, Seaford? Cr. Armstrong: I did.
Cr. McCulloch said he would move that whoever gave authority be asked to pay for the work. It seemed to him that the business people of Seaford cut the scrub for their own benefit, and the general public were beginning to kick. He was opposed to every “Dick, Tom, and Harry” being allowed to cut the ti-tree. Cr. May objected to the expression. He thought Cr: McCulloch should withdraw. Cr. Armstrong explained that the electric light committee had recommended the cutting of the ti-tree referred to, as it obscured the electric light. Seaford seemed to have one Councillor who was holding the place back. The people do not want the ti-tree in the main street. The President: Quite enough ti-tree has been cut for the present. Cr. Longmuir said the recommendation of the Electric Light Committee should have been confirmed by the Council before action was taken. Cr. McCulloch: If this sort of thing is allowed Cr. Mason or other Frankston Councillors may order the removal of the pine trees in Bay Street. Cr. Gray: Once down, they cannot be put up again. Cr. Armstrong said that Mr. Quartermain, the electric light manager, had agreed with the committee that the scrub should be removed from the electric light pole. It was agreed that committee recommendations should come before the Council for confirmation. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 12 & 14 Dec 1923

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
A Tale of a Very Happy Unbirthday By Stuart McCullough I WAS never any good at it. This is despite the fact that I had no shortage of practice. It comes up every year without fail, and yet the very thought of it makes me squirm. Some may relish the chance to be the centre of attention and bask in glow of adulation (or, if adulation isn’t readily available, then candles), but it’s never been for me. I speak, of course, of my birthday. The whole idea of a birthday party always made me feel uncomfortable. It started with having to choose a certain number of friends to invite. This was challenging because I knew at an early age that the number in question was entirely random and that I would need to make brutal decisions as to who (and, more to the point, who not) to invite. In a small town like Tyabb, snubbing someone could lead to a conflict that lasts a generation or more. The second great anxiety was whether those that were invited would, in fact, show up. Granted, a bag of mixed lollies and skin-full of soft drink is a pretty powerful motivator, but there’s nothing like an invitation to socialise out of school hours to find out exactly where you stand in the pecking order. Which led me to my next problem – did I actually have enough friends to fill the arbitrarily determined quota given to me by my parents? I had my doubts. Then there were the gifts. I remember one birthday in primary school where I was given a model aeroplane. That required assembly. I’m sure I
PAGE 20
Frankston Times
said something along the lines of ‘thank you’. I’m also sure I wore an expression that suggested she had made a grave misjudgement. As a rule, you should never give anything that requires assembly to a kid who routinely manages to super-glue himself to furniture during art class.
12 December 2023
To this day, my hand is still attached to a tiny, primary school-size chair. I guess I could have it surgically removed, but I’m (ahem) attached to it. My last major birthday party I had was when I turned twelve. I was allowed to have six friends and, struggling for numbers, I may have invited
the postman. Dave was deeply appreciative. On that birthday, we saw a movie I’d never heard of entitled, ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial’. I had no idea what a ‘terrestrial’ was and couldn’t conceive of a world where someone would want one, much less an extra. But the two hours that followed convinced me otherwise. As birthday parties go, there’s no way to top ‘E.T.’. I decided to retire. Liam turned ten in March. He feels very differently about birthday parties. For the last nine months, he has taken every opportunity to lobby, campaign and otherwise cajole in the hope of having a birthday party. At the time he turned ten, we were managing other major events and we decided to defer. Until November, as it turns out. It was on. Even though Liam was closer to being eleven than he was to ten, we sent out invites for people to come rock climbing with us. He was extremely excited. Indeed, he was so profoundly eager that I also began to look forward to it. His enthusiasm was infectious. And although this may be because he washes his hands too infrequently, I couldn’t wait. To see someone so committed to a birthday was inspiring. There would be games, sing songs and craft activities. It would be awesome. It’s been a long time since I’ve spent the afternoon with a room full of ten-year-old boys. I was in for a surprise. We arrived at the venue to find a function room waiting for us. There was even a special sign that read, ‘Happy birthday, Liam!’ on the
trestle table. The kids were rounded up and given a safety briefing before being set loose in the rock-climbing pen. It was as if someone had unleashed the devil and left the gates of hell wide open. Mayhem ensued. There was shouting, there was screaming and there were limbs flying everywhere. It was like a tornado of small people. Things only went down hill from there. By the time I had returned to the comparative safety of the function room, the sing that read, ‘Happy birthday, Liam!’ had been completely violated and now said, ‘Yer Phat Liam’. I’m not even sure what that means. But I’m sure it’s not good. Liam’s older brother, Ryan, had been volunteering at his school, so knew most of kids by sight but not by name. So we decided that instead of learning their names, we would simply assign them any name we liked. One kid we christened ‘Marmaduke’, another we called ‘Chauncey’. We even had the kids volunteering to be ‘Dennis’ for the day. At the end of the mayhem, Liam said it was the best birthday party he’d ever had. I’ll bet he can’t wait to turn eleven. Lucky for him, it won’t be that long. I learned a few things that day. Firstly, that ten year old boys, in pack form, are complete animals. The other is that it’s okay to be the centre of attention sometimes. Especially on your birthday. Or even nine months after your birthday as it turn out. It’s a lesson that I’m sure to take to heart. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Hall new Mount Martha boss SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ANDREW Hall will be in charge of Mount Martha’s senior side next season. The local State 5 South club announced Hall’s appointment last week just before pre-season training started at the club’s Civic Reserve headquarters. Hall, 53, replaced Mark Larner who resigned in October and was appointed senior coach of Somerville Eagles shortly after. Born in Falkirk Hall was brought up in Yorkshire and arrived in Melbourne with his wife and two children in 2009. “As a kid (in England) I played for Barnsley schools which is like the equivalent of county sides through to 15 then I started playing as an adult,” Hall said. His two senior clubs were Hood Green FC in Sheffield and Cumberworth FC in Huddersfield. “Cumberworth played in the county league at the time which would have been the equivalent of our State 1 or State 2 standard. “I played seniors football on Saturday as a centre back and played for fun on Sunday as a centre forward. “I started coaching at junior level when my son started playing in the UK for about three years. “We came here for work reasons and moving to a new country with a young family I concentrated on my job although I kept watching football from all over the world even to the point of getting up through the night to watch Glasgow Rangers every week. “When my son started playing for Mount Eliza I had the opportunity to coach their reserves for a season and when he switched to Mount Martha I came across with him.” That was two seasons ago and Hall has moved from assisting with the reserves to senior assistant last season and now the reins are firmly in his grasp. When Larner left the Mariners the club advertised the position and a number of candidates applied. So why was Hall one of them given the workload associated with the role? “My wife asked the same question,” he quipped. “The club spoke to me about building on the great work of Chris Sanderson in setting up the senior squad over a number of years and

continuing the work Mark did last season. “They are a fantastic bunch of lads at Mount Martha and the club has a fantastic culture as well. “I think they are an exceptional junior club and I think they have made really big strides in the seniors so it was just too hard to step away from that and not try to add to the progress. “I want us to be a club that has as much success with its senior men and women as it does with its juniors and I think we can do that mainly because we have a really good base of players who have been with us for a few years. “We’ve started pre-season and we’ve already got a group of new players down.” There’s talk that the departures of Larner and senior mainstay Sanderson has pulled the rug from beneath the senior group and that Hall could find it hard to retain players but he’s

confident about the future. “I’ve been in football long enough to know that it’s an interesting time of year when everyone seems to be looking around. “I think come January you start to see what your squad is looking like and where you are from a positional point of view and an experience point of view. “We’ve managed to do a couple of things that’s going to assist us to attract players if we need players. “We’ve brought in Charlie Platt as assistant senior coach and I’m delighted that he’s joined us. “Charlie is a legend at Mornington and brings a wealth of knowledge to Mount Martha that helps me and helps the senior squad to see the quality of the individuals we are bringing in. “The club will also bring in a technical director as well so they really are providing the squad with reasons
to stay at Mount Martha.” Hall hopes a winning start to next season will set the tone for what lies ahead and will see the Mariners viewed as an ambitious and progressive club. “The framework we are trying to put around the senior program is as good as any other club down here on the peninsula. “Every conversation I’ve had with the president and the new technical director has been to ensure that we are taken seriously as a senior club and having been here for the last two years I’m confident we can move that forward next season. “I’ve never gone into any season playing or coaching without believing that we will finish in the top half of the league and that’s absolutely what we’ll be aiming to do and be very competitive against everyone that we play.” In NPL2 news Langwarrin’s seniors and under-23s had friendlies away to NPL heavyweight Green Gully last weekend. The seniors lost 2-1 with Gully grabbing the winner in the 80th minute. Langy started well and created chances through James Kelly, Tom Youngs and Jacob Brito before the home side went 1-0 up via a back post header. Langwarrin levelled in the 60th minute after Rogan McGeorge won the ball in midfield then Joe O’Brien set up Brito for a one-on-one with Gully’s keeper and he made no mistake. Both sides made plenty of changes in the second half. Langy’s under-23s lost 5-3 with four triallists and seven under-18s in the matchday squad. One of the under-18s, Jed Hagenaars, scored a hat-trick after coming off the bench with 30 minutes to go. In State 2 news Skye United’s preseason hit-out last Thursday night saw the local side record an excellent 3-2 win over State 1 outfit Collingwood City at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve. Just four senior players from last season’s squad – Daniel Attard, Alex Van Heerwarden, Nhan Than and Lewis Gibson – turned out for Skye who used a host of triallists. Central defender Zamer Noor from Langwarrin’s under-21s was the most impressive of the newcomers. The former Dandenong Thunder youngster didn’t just defend with
aplomb he scored twice, his first was a header from a Than cross and his second was a thumping drive from outside the box into the top corner of goal. Skye’s third came from Rosebud triallist Riley Gill who pounced on a goalkeeping error. Rosebud’s 2023 State 5 South best and fairest and league Golden Boot winner Noah Musso also played for Skye. Former Frankston Pines captain Ryan Ratcliffe played for Collingwood. In State 4 news Somerville Eagles are hoping to play home games at Western Port Secondary College next season.
