FRANKSTON Council ratepayers forked out an extra $40,000 dollars towards the CEO’s remuneration in 2024, council’s annual report has revealed.
Phil Cantillon was appointed Frankston Council CEO in September 2019 after a short stint as acting CEO.
In mid-2023 he signed a new contract to extend his tenure until 2026.
Frankston Council’s 2023/2024 annual report has revealed that the CEO’s total remuneration was between $470,000 and $479,999 in 2024.
In 2023 the highest paid member of Frankston Council’s staff received between $420,000 and $429,999.
The 2021/2022 annual report stated that Frankston Council’s highest paid
member of key management received remuneration between $380,000 and $389,999.
Total remuneration reported in council’s annual reports includes salary, paid leave, superannuation, termination payments, net movement in leave provisions, and contribution for the private use of a vehicle if applicable. Higher payments to other council officers during a period of leave and an
increase in superannuation were significant contributors to the extra spending in the 2023/2024 financial year, The Times understands.
Council’s corporate and commercial services director Kim Jaensch said “the remuneration of key management personnel information reported in our annual report includes a range of costs associated with roles, and not just individual salaries. Other components
include higher duties paid to directors when acting as CEO, paid leave, accrued long service leave as well as statutory superannuation increases.”
“CEO remuneration is subject to the review of the CEO Employment and Remuneration Committee and is reviewed annually in line with the CEO performance review and contract requirements,” she said.

Teacher vacancies have climbed to 53 in the Mornington, Frankston, and Kingston areas amid a statewide teacher shortage, but industry experts maintain there is no cause for concern in the peninsula region.
According to the data from the Schools Vic careers website there are 37 teacher vacancies, 14 support roles, and two principal positions available.
It comes after the state opposition conducted a Freedom of Information request, which revealed this month that the state government is spending more than $1 million a day on casual relief teachers as more than 1300 teacher positions remain vacant across the state.
The Australian Education Union’s Victorian branch president Meredith Peace said casual relief teachers (CRTs) played a crucial role in supporting Victoria’s public education system.
“But an over-reliance on CRTs as a solution to a workforce shortage crisis is a band-aid measure by a government which has let schools down by failing to invest in genuine solutions to an ongoing problem,” she said.
Tim Arnold, director of Free Agency, which provides casuals to government schools, said he is confident of the teacher vacancies being filled in the Mornington, Frankston, and Kingston areas because “it’s a desirable part of the world to work”.
“That’s not a part of the state that’s a real hurt point for filling jobs because people want to live down on the peninsula,” he told The Times
“You’re going to have trouble getting people into jobs in those bigger growth schools that need 10 new teachers, 10 new classes,” such as in the Cranbourne and Clyde areas.
“All industries are struggling with labour post COVID. However, a lot of support is going into providing many staff to schools across the state and lots of work going into filling vacancies that have arisen in areas.”
He also noted “this is the absolute peak prime time of the year where they’re advertising roles for next year”.
In relation to the spending of $1 million a day on relief teachers, Arnold conceded this “might be true” but the break-down of what the government was spending the money on was “incorrect”, with the $1 million figure encompassing planned leave, absences for long service leave, professional development, and more.
Fiona Longmuir, a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University and co-leader of the Education Workforce for the Future Impact Lab, said the peninsula was “probably more of the easier staff areas” as opposed to other parts of the state.
“We know the shortages are really blatantly and significantly impacting lower advantage schools in much more severe ways than obvi-
ously, schools with sort of higher levels of socioeconomic advantage, and particularly as well across the public-private divide as well,” she said.
She said overall there was a “big job in helping change that public discourse around what we expect from our teachers and how we treat them”.
“[We need to] make it clear that teachers are working very hard and doing their very best.”
Julie Sonnemann, education director at Impact Economics, said the casual teacher relief shortage in Victoria “is a concern” and “there’s also fundamental issues in teaching around the working environment, hours, and salaries that need to be addressed”.
“Teaching is a great career choice with lots of rewards, but we need to make it easier for people to do the job too.”
Education Minister Ben Carroll said there was a promising increase in recruitment in teaching every year.
“Teacher shortages are a national challenge, but we are leading the way forward with free teaching degrees, financial incentives for hard-to-staff roles like in regional areas, paid placements for students training to be teachers and employment-based degrees,” he said.
Shadow Education Minister Jess Wilson said the government’s reliance on casual relief teachers meant “less stability for students and higher costs for taxpayers”.

A CANDIDATE in this month’s Frankston Council election is facing fierce backlash from the Liberal Party over election material targeting another candidate’s pregnancy.
Nathan Havis, a Liberal Party member at the time of his nomination, is a candidate in Lyrebird Ward. He is under fire for comments made about fellow Lyrebird Ward candidate Steffie Conroy.
The flyer (pictured below), authorised by Havis, reads that Conroy will “take paid/unpaid parental leave in 2 months (if) elected as they have a second child on the way”.
A statement on Steffie Conroy’s website states she will “not be seeking maternity leave within council, as I am fortunate to have access to maternity leave through my current job.”
Conroy is the wife of incumbent Frankston mayor and former Liberal Dunkley candidate Nathan Conroy. She told The Times that she had a baby boy last week.
“I’m running a positive campaign,” Conroy said when asked about Havis’ comments. “I’m staying positive to who I am, and focusing on the future.”
Havis’ flyer also falsely states that Nathan and Steffie Conroy were born in Ireland - Nathan Conroy was born in Ireland but Steffie Conroy was born in Carrum Downs.
Steffie Conroy says her situation “gives me an advantage, as I will have the time and flexibility to fulfil my duties as a councillor. In fact, during my maternity leave in 2022, I attended numerous council commitments, many of which focused on young
families.”
“Since welcoming my son two years ago, while working full time and starting my own consulting business, I have attended 50+ events held by Frankston City Council - more than some sitting councillors,” she said. “Having a young family will not define or limit my role as a councillor. Many current councillors also have families and work fulltime or part-time, and these responsibilities have not hindered their duty - nor will they limit mine.”
Havis was asked by The Times if there are any issues between himself and the Liberal Party, and if he stood by the comments made about Steffie Conroy. He said he would “only comment after the results of the election”.

Get your asthma action plan ready this spring
AMBULANCE Victoria is reminding people to update their asthma action plans to stay safe as the weather warms up.
Ambulance Victoria (AV) director of emergency management Justin Dunlop said creating an asthma action plan was an easy and potentially lifesaving step.
“It’s simple – visit your GP and they can create a plan with you,” he said.
“Everyone’s asthma action plan will look different, and it will help you manage your condition, ensuring you don’t find yourself in an emergency.
“Follow your asthma action plan, and most importantly, if a person is having difficulty breathing and their reliever medicine is not working, don’t delay in calling Triple Zero (000).”
Asthma can affect people of all ages and, if unmanaged, can develop into a serious health concern, according to AV.
“For Victorians that have hay fever and have also experienced asthma symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness, see your GP.”

AN increase in motorcycle fatalities has prompted calls for greater caution on the road.
Statewide there had been 52 motorcyclist fatalities at the beginning of October. There were 53 recorded in the entirety of 2023. The five-year average for the period spanning January to September is 32.8.
Motorcycle fatalities occur disproportionately in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. There have been eight in Casey/Cardinia/Dandenong so far this year, five in Glen Eira/Kingston, and two in Frankston.
At least 60 per cent of fatal motorcycle crashes are multi-vehicle collisions, and most of them occur at intersections.
Failing to give way is the most common factor when the other party is at fault, and excessive speed is the most common factor when the rider is at fault.
Victoria Police road policing assistant commissioner Glenn Weir said the spike in fatal motorcycle crashes is “incredibly concerning and has shown no sign of slowing down.”
“We’re about to enter what has traditionally been the highest risk period for motorcyclist fatalities, and yet with still three months remaining in the year, we’re close to surpassing the total number of motorcyclist deaths for all
of 2023,” he said. “During Motorcycle Awareness Month, and in the months following, we’ll have an increased focus on rider safety through education and enforcement, but we’re asking all road users to consider how they can contribute to making our roads safer.
“For motorists, that means watching out for motorcyclists, being present behind the wheel and aware of your surroundings. For motorcyclists, it means keeping yourself safe with the right protective gear and avoiding risky riding behaviour like excessive speeding.
“Now is not the time to be complacent – it’s up to all of us to do everything we can to prevent further motorcyclist deaths. Every rider death is one too many.”
A WOMAN has been taken to hospital with critical injuries after she was allegedly struck by a motorcyclist in Carrum Downs last week.
The motorcyclist allegedly hit the pedestrian as she crossed McCormicks Road at around 7.20pm on 8 October.
The 31-year-old Carrum Downs woman was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Police arrested a 29-year-old Inverloch man at the scene, and took him to hospital. He was allegedly unlicensed and returned a positive oral fluid test.
He was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury, drive in a manner dangerous, and unlicensed driving.
In a statement, police allege that they spotted the driver shortly before the crash. They say they were not pursuing him when he crashed.
“Local police were quickly on scene after coming across the rider just prior to the collision. Officers were heading to another job and travelling along McCormicks Road when the rider, along with another solo, turned in front of their vehicle from Gamble Road. It appears at this stage the rider immediately reacted and took off, just prior to the collision, when he spotted police. Police were not in pursuit of the motorcycle at the time of the collision,” a Victoria Police statement read. “Professional Standards Command will have oversight of the investigation, as per usual practice, where police have been in the vicinity of a critical injury collision.”
The man was scheduled to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 October.
A POLICE officer has been injured in an alleged ramming in Seaford.
At around midday on 4 October, police attempted to pull over an allegedly stolen car on Seaford Road. The driver allegedly reversed into a police car, and rammed it several times.
The driver, a 34-year-old Seaford man, got out and allegedly fled on foot. He was arrested and charged with two counts of assault police, two counts of resist police, intentionally expose emergency service worker to risk by driving, theft of motor vehicle, prohibited person possess firearm, and other traffic related offences.
The police officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The man charged was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 16 October.
Continued from page 1 Frankston Council’s 2023/2024 annual report also revealed that council recorded a surplus of $32.62 million. That surplus includes grant money received for the Kananook Commuter Car Park project and a $17.748 million increase in “non-monetary contributions”, mostly related to the Sandhurst Estate formal asset transfer.
Without non-recurrent capital grants, cash capital contributions, and non-monetary capital contributions, Frankston Council recorded a deficit of $23.185 million in the 2023/2024 financial year.
Frankston Council increased rate revenue by 3.5 percent in 2023/2024, the maximum increase allowed under the state government’s rate cap. The average rate per property assessment was $1725 - in comparison, the average rate per property assessment in 2019/2020 was $1589.
The annual report highlighted the completion of the $36.6 million Jubilee Park Stadium, the $8.82 million
Eric Bell Pavilion, and the $5.33 million Kevin Collopy Pavilion as among the highlights of the last year.
A statement signed by council CEO Phil Cantillon and the mayor Nathan Conroy read “the year saw completion of a number of major infrastructure projects including the landmark Jubilee Park Stadium. This state-ofthe-art facility has become a central hub for sports in the southeast, boosting our local economy, increasing accessibility and participation in sports, and strengthening community connections.”
“Other significant investments in our facilities include the redeveloped Eric Bell, Kevin Collopy, and Lloyd Park pavilions, providing modern, inclusive environments for local sports clubs, the completion of a new shared user path connecting Frankston Railway station with surrounding residential areas, and major upgrades to Overport Bike Park and Frankston Sharks BMX Club,” the statement read.

When Gordon Dunlop retired and settled into his new life on the peninsula, he became a member of the Frankston Arts Centre to stay connected to the arts. “I became a member because there’s stimulating and affordable programming, which also meant I do not have to travel into the city as much for good theatre.”
As people live longer, we are often looking for ways to enrich our lives with quality and enjoyment. Although minimal studies have formally evaluated the benefits of theatre on mature minds, the anecdotal evidence agrees with Gordon’s experience in that seeing live performance can have a positive impact mentally and socially.
Usually attending alone, Gordon often “strikes up chats with strangers about the performances we are seeing”.
“I do consider my FAC membership as an important component of my cultural life now and a potential way into some social engagement in my new life.”
When asked what he enjoys most about live performance, Gordon enthuses “It has a physical intensity, spontaneity and intimacy that cannot be matched in cinematic, televisual or online performance… there is
a shared communal experience.”
Participation in the arts and experiencing live performance is known to have a positive impact on health and wellbeing for all ages, decreasing anxiety and loneliness, increasing your sense of value and purpose and other emotional and imagination benefits.
Frankston Arts Centre members, Colin and Myrtle Hughes, explain how this experience affects them, “Live theatre is just priceless in its embrace, as the experience will often touch you deeply and that then is enhanced by sharing it with those around you.
“We typically just go together but know that we’ll meet many friends there that we see every time, including the staff.”
When asked to name their favourite show seen at the Frankston Arts Centre, Colin and Myrtle are hard-pressed to choose one.
“Top of the bill would be the Sydney Dance Theatre with their exquisite heartwrenching performances, but alongside them are the fantastic performances by our local musical theatre group, the Peninsula Light Opera Society, whose musicals are as good as those we see in the city or overseas.
“But a significant part of the joy of the FAC is the constant variety - the opportunity to have the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, international opera and ballet companies, Australian playwrights, musicians, singers, dancers, comedians and choirs all 15 minutes from your door in an almost unattainable cascade of entertainment!”
The government has tabled “The Aged Care Bill” that is the biggest reform to the industry in 30 years. This will impact those entering Residential Aged Care or accessing a Home Care package. Home care packages will be renamed as “Support at Home”. There will be 8 specific levels and 2 short term levels. Home care package funding is estimated to increase by up to $25,000 per annum. The out-of-pocket daily cost is expected to increase for most recipients.
Currently, aged care facilities need to seek approval to charge above $550,000 for a room. From 1 January 2025, facilities will only need approval if charging over $750,000.
This will likely result in most facilities automatically increasing their Refundable Accommodation Deposits or RADs to $750,000 from 1 January 2025.
At present the RAD is fully refundable on exit, however, the proposed change from 1st July 2025 will enable the Aged Care provider to retain up to 2% of the RAD each year or up to 10% over 5 years.
An increase in the Basic Daily Care Fee and renaming of such will apply and the abolishing of the current Means Tested Care Fee and introduction of a Non-Clinical Care Contribution is proposed to be implemented. The government indicates that half of all new residents entering care from 1 July 2025 will comparatively contribute more under the new aged care means testing rules.
As an example, a part pensioner with $500,000 in assets (after paying a $500,000 RAD) will pay an additional sum of $37,000 per annum in ongoing fees for the first year in care.
You can join the Frankston Arts Centre as a Member at any time of year for the low cost of $50 for an Individual or $100 for a Joint Membership. Benefits include discounted tickets, invitations to the annual Season launch event, priority bar service, deferred payment for tickets and pre-sale opportunities.

TEN, 7.30pm
Arguably the birthplace of the high-performance sports car, Italy is the first stop for Australia’s newly minted Top Gear trio: Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia, The Amazing Race’s Beau Ryan and Mighty Car Mods’ Blair Joscelyne, who are on a mission to discover why the country has such a monopoly on supercars – road-testing a Maserati MC20 Cielo, a Ferrari 296 GTS and an $11 million Pagani Codalunga through the hills of Tuscany. A high-octane adventure with oodles of chemistry between its hosts, there’s plenty of mileage in this reboot.
Helena Bonham Carter once again reigns supreme in this striking portrait of UK daytime TV pioneer Noele “Nolly” Gordon. The first woman to appear on colour television anywhere in the world, Nolly became a household name in the UK. Writer Russell T Davies (Doctor Who, It’s a Sin) meticulously researched the three-part series by speaking to Nolly’s friends and former co-stars, aiming to create a story that faithfully charts the TV legend’s fight for her career. It’s stellar stuff.

When it comes to legendary love stories, they don’t get much more romantic than the decade-long relationship between singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and author Marianne Ihlen. Countless Cohen songs were inspired by their bond, which began on the Greek island of Hydra in 1960. Oppenheimer’s Alex Wolff and Norwegian actress Thea Sofie Loch Naess star as the poetically gifted pair in this extraordinary miniseries, which promises a nuanced, two-sided retelling of their romance. Aussies Anna Torv and Noah Taylor also feature as novelists Charmian Clift and George Johnston. It begins as Cohen leaves Montreal to find his purpose, as Ihlen’s marriage falls apart.

Change is in the air as Kitty Flanagan’s award-winning probate law comedy returns for a third season. Not only has solicitor Helen Tudor-Fisk (Flanagan) bought a home and moved out of her dad’s backyard yoga studio, but she’s now a name partner at Gruber & Fisk – which means taking on more responsibility for the inevitable chaos that unfolds there. In premiere “Bees in the Hive”, Helen tries to become a social butterfly to replace Ray (Marty Sheargold) after he broke the Business and Breakfast networking group’s rules. Better than Fisk is a perfectly calibrated comedy.

Why choose a retirement village? For some it’s location, facilities, or services. For others its low maintenance, or new home features. But for most, it’s the promise of a thriving, social, welcoming and supportive lifestyle that is so important.
Greenways Retirement Village offers a lifestyle few can match. It boasts an active, fun and happy community in bayside Seaford, the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. Being one of the few privately owned villages in Victoria, it puts people first, and has done for over 48 years. This means that the opportunities to socialise, meet new friends and get involved at the village are encouraged and supported at all levels.
At the heart of the village, the Greenways Community Centre is always busy. Residents come together regularly for a cuppa, an activity or to share a meal in the village restaurant. Residents embrace the many activities on offer as well as events, fundraisers, market days and cocktail parties (to name a few!).
So, whether it be dining events or themed functions such as Australia Day BBQs, Anzac Day Ceremonies, Spring Carnival celebrations, or Village Fashion Shows. Or regular activities such as a trivia competition, birthday celebrations, bingo, movie afternoons or games groups. Or, for the sports lovers, there’s a private village bowling green and club house, regular indoor bowls sessions, pool/billiards and the village fitness centre.
Whatever your interest. Greenways could be just the right fit for you.
Choose from newly refurbished one, two and three bedroom villa units or the
convenience and ease of one bedroom apartments close to the village club centre. Apartments start from $311,000 and villa units from $386,000.
Greenways Village is at 330 FrankstonDandenong Road, Seaford. Telephone (03) 9786 8679. www.greenwaysvillage.com.au

FIVE candidates vying for wards in the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council election are advocating to save the historic Beleura Cliff Path in Mornington after it was closed two years ago because of safety concerns.
Candidates Paul Pingiaro, Nick Fallow (Tanti Ward) along with Despi O’Connor, Anthony Marsh (Briars Ward) and Daniel McCaffrey (Kackeraboite Ward) have all thrown their support behind the 102-year-old path, which winds along the cliffs from Mills Beach.
The path has been closed since October 2022 after two landslips occurred, causing the path to be “badly damaged in many sections and not safe for recreational use”, according to the shire.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council maintains responsibility for the path, which was first “cut with a pick and shovel” in 1922. Residents are now expressing grave concern that the path could be lost forever if council don’t act quick enough.
All five candidates have recognised the path as being an important community asset and a key part of Mornington’s coastal heritage and identity.
A campaign to save the beloved path since its closure has garnered strong community support to ensure the iconic walking route was preserved for future generations.
Incumbent Briars Ward councillor Despi O’Connor moved a motion in April to keep the Beleura Cliff Path
alive including that a friend’s group was allowed to continue work on the path, advocate to the state government to raise awareness of the asset and conduct community consultation about the preferred remedial works.
“Its legal status is that it is a public path. This section of crown land on the coast is managed by the shire, but consent for works on crown land always lies with the state,” she said in a statement.
“And with 64km of coast, the council will require funding to support any work on the coast.
“I will continue to fight to get this path open. Advocacy to fellow councillors and to higher levels of government will be required to get everyone on the right track.”
Peter Nicholson, of the Save Beleura Cliff Path group, who hold regular working bees, said it was encouraging to have the support of candidates after being at loggerheads with the shire.
“It’s a priceless inheritance from 1922 when it was built with a pick and shovel,” he said.
“Future generations will curse us if we don’t save it.”
FRIENDS of Beleura Cliff Path member
Peter Nicholson hopes the shire can save the beloved path which remains closed to the public.

Mr Nicholson expressed frustration that the council had not undertaken its own research into the cause of the landslips, noting the path was in otherwise good condition.
“The landslips took out two areas of the path but 80 per cent of the path is good but it’s terrible to think they will let the whole path go because of two sections,” he said.
“They (council) think it’s a bother; they haven’t thought it through at all.”
According to Mr Nicholson, the friend’s group’s own research had showed that drainage problems, one caused by a shire drain, was behind the landslips.
“The council said geo-technical reports from engineers and consultants had confirmed the land was not safe.
“The entrance to the path has been blocked off with fencing and signs with one noting, ‘We expect this to be a long-term process, and the path will not open in the near future’.”
The shire said it was working to undertake four weeks of community consultation later this year.
“We understand how important the 100-plus year path is to many in our community, and we continue to work through the wide range of issues necessary to be considered to achieve reopening of the path,” the council said on its website.
BALLOTS for the 2024 Frankston Council election have been mailed out.
All ballots must be mailed back by 6pm on 25 October. Electoral commissioner Sven Bluemmel said that voters should keep an eye out for their ballot packs in the mail.
“This election is postal, so it’s important to complete and return your ballot material as soon as possible to make sure your vote counts,” Bluemmel said.
A fine may apply for residents who do not return their votes.
Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by 15 October can ask for a replacement pack at vec.vic.gov.au
LIFE Saving Victoria has appointed a new chief of its emergency response team.
Kirsty Robertson has been named LSV’s chief operations officer for emergency management capability and response. In a statement, LSV said “with over 25 years of leadership experience in disaster response and the non-profit sector, Kirsty brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the role.”
Robertson said “I am honoured to join Life Saving Victoria and contribute to its critical mission. I look forward to working with the incredible team and dedicated volunteers to ensure the safety and resilience of our communities, particularly in the face of the unique challenges posed by water safety and emergency management.”
THE NEW POP
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
THROUGH official channels we learnt that on Sunday morning last, at 2 o’clock, an attempt was made by someone to break into the Frankston post office.
A youth, named Smedhurst, who was sleeping on the premises, was awakened by a noise proceeding from a window at the rear of the building. He at once sprang from his bed, naturally alarmed at the unusual sounds at such an early hour, and was just in time to observe a man decamping.
The local police are investigating.
Senior-Constable Elliott stated to a representative of “The Standard” on Monday that the marks of a pick had been found on the wood work of the window frame, where the burglar had endeavoured to gain an entrance. Fortunately young Smedhurst foiled the chances of the ubiquitous “Bill Sikes.”
An Age Of Oil - Celebrating Tile Opening Of Bulk Delivery At Frankston
Cr. J. Bradbury was the genial host at a luncheon which he tendered on Wednesday last at “The Fernery,” in accordance with the menu, par excellence, for which it is famous, in honour of the visit to Frankston of the C.O.R. representatives, who had come from Melbourne at the hearty invitation of the popular councillor to celebrate the opening of bulk delivery in the town.
Among those present at a most enjoyable function. were:-Messrs. Larking (Australian manager of the
Commonwealth Oil Refineries), J. Harmsworth (Victorian branch manager), J. B. Jolly (chief country representative), Gee. R. Broadbent (manager, touring department, Royal Automobile Club of Victoria); B. Cross (Australian Films), and Mr. Robins (of Cartoon Films), the function being given to celebrate the occasion of bulk delivery to Frankston.
In briefly responding to the toast of “Our Host,” Cr. Bradbury said he regretted the Prime Minister was not present. Mr. Bruce had sent an apology for absence owing to having to attend a Cabinet meeting in connection with the Wool Bill.
The toast of the “C.O.R.”, proposed by Mr. Broadbent, was responded to by Mr. Larking, who said that he could not do better than tell them something about the enterprise which was the cause of having brought about the gathering of fraternal felecitations.
The C.O.R., he explained had not been established as a business proposition in the ordinary sense of the term. During the war period, Australia was faced with a scarcity of motor spirit, and as a solution of the problem to meet an ever-growing demand and to fulfill all requirements in the event of a further international crisis, an association had been started which to-day was known as the C.O.R.. (Applause).
At the outset the Government had put up a sum of money to assist in a great project being consummated, and later had joined forces with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, with the pleasing result that the original organ-
isation be came known as the C.O.R., established for the purpose of the manufacture of white products motor spirit and kerosene, the primary idea being to avoid being without these commodities in a time of national crisis.
The question had been asked why the C.O.R. did not reduce prices, but such was not the purpose in view as before explained.
Further, the Government was interested to the extent of some thing over half-a-million, also the Persian Oil Company, hence they naturally expected to share a little profit. Therefore, the. C.O.R. charged the same prices as their competitors, as, otherwise, they would become an additional burden to the taxpayer – a thing that was not desired.
Concluding, Mr. Larking said: “We are giving to the motorists a spirit of the highest quality. We are not, however, making any aviation spirit.
I think we can, safely say,” he continued, “that our reception by the public to-day is one which gives us every gratification. We have branches and stores throughout all the States, in Sydney, Brisbane, and Port Adelaide.
Concluding, Mr. Larking stated that the output of motor spirit at the C.O.R., at Laverton, was 20,000 gallons per day, covering five days a week. In addition, he quoted the following figures in respect of kerosene, namely 10,000 and 60,000 for crude oil.
Before and after luncheon the big motor delivery tank of the C.O.R. was much in evidence, and from the
Bowser on the curb outside “The Fernery,” Cr. Bradbury superintend a practical demonstration of the rapid manner in which a motor car is supplied with petrol under the bulk principle.

Electric Power Failure - How It Retards Progress
“Put not your faith in princes” can under other and more modem conditions be transposed to read:
“Put not your faith in the Electricity Commission.”
If you do so it will have you at the psychological moment.
For example, last Wednesday’s issue of “The Standard” was well on the way to reaching the stage of printing when, without any warning, the power which is supposed to be guaranteed under the direction of Sir Monash, became obsolete, with the result that matters in the technical department of our old established Journal have, in consequence, of the failure of the current supply, been severely retarding the usual progress of those members of the staff who, week in and week out, dexterously add their co-operative efforts in regards to type-setting. By reason of a delay which we were not responsible, the issue of Wednesday Inst was not published until late in the evening (for which we tender eulogistic thanks to a great Electricity Commission) owing to the chaos, in general, certain editorials and special reports which are ready for our type operator, and under normal conditions would have appeared in widely-read columns to-day, have unavoidably
been left over till next Wednesday’s issue.
*** Wireless Demonstration at Frankston – Tuning Into 3 L.O. at Mr. H. M. Johnson’s – Melba’s Farewell Night
Melba’s farewell to Grand Opera on Monday night proved a great success to listeners-in at Johnson’s well known Gramo. and Radio Depot, Bay street.
Those who had the privilege of being present on the auspicious occasion under review, enjoyed the novelty of hearing the Diva’s wonderful voice by radio.
Dame Nellie Melba was heard to pleasing advantage, every detail in the performance coming out quite distinctly, also the speeches.
A special feature of the opera was the playing of the orchestra, which came through very clearly, the only fault being that Mr. Johnson’s premises were not large enough to accommodate the big crowd which had assembled.
In fact, the partition next-door had to be removed to ensure adequate space for the enthusiastic throng of listeners-in.
The receiving set used was a four-valve one, as advertised. It is of interest to announce that at the forthcoming football dance a much bigger set will be installed, when special wireless items will be recorded. ***

IT all came rushing back. As I sat, gripping the wheel, it dawned on me that this was the moment I’d be training for, if not my whole life, then every other weekend between the ages of seven and sixteen. The engines roared, my seat belt was pulled tight and my helmet visor down. I was ready. But as I sat, I experienced a crushing sense of doubt – did I really want to subject my loved ones to the humiliation that comes with being beaten on a go-kart track?
We went to Phillip Island. It was a school holiday/ kid-friendly trip, so certain things you might otherwise associate with a vacation – such as ‘rest’ and ‘recuperation’ – were instantly eliminated. This would have more in common with an episode of ‘Survivor’ than it would ‘Postcards’. Nerves were destined to be frayed as we would be pushed to the limit, both physically and emotionally.
First cmes the car trip. Loading a car for a family vacation is an art, a science and (possibly) a divine miracle, all rolled into one. For reasons that escape me, we pack not so much what we need but whatever we can find that isn’t nailed down. We’re a tribe of chronic over-packers. As a result, loading up the car is kind of an out-sized reverse-Jenga experience. It takes ages.
As a result of some previous, quite fractious car trips, we now have a strict rule when it comes to music –each person can select two (and no more than two) songs for the Spotify queue. This rule was imposed after
some rather harrowing journeys that involved nothing but tunes from obscure off-off-off Broadway musical productions that weren’t so much songs as they were an assault on the senses. Some things are off Broadway for good reason. If that sounds
harsh, then try travelling to Diamond Creek with the sounds of ‘Operation Mincemeat’ ringing in your ears. (Yes, Operation Mincemeat is a musical. Allegedly.)
But I can handle two songs. For two songs, I can be curious and interested
and polite and not overwhelmed by the sudden urge to rip the ears from my head with my bare hands. Granted, there have been attempts to subvert this iron-clad car rule – such as when the twenty-one-year-old chose an eighteen minute piece by Rachmaninov (which I liked, but which outraged the others). The ‘two song rule’ largely works; save that the eleven year old wants to hear the same two songs repeatedly. Right now, the two songs on constant rotation are ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift and (sigh) ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ by ‘NSYNC’. Apparently, the latter is featured in the ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ movie.
We were always going to end up seeing the penguins and looking at koalas – it’s hard not to at Phillip Island. But it was also inevitable that we’d wind up at the go-kart track. To put it simply – I am surrounded by highly competitive people. I knew I was in trouble when each family member started talking down their prospects before we’d even begun. It’d been raining and the instructor spoke to us sternly about the treacherous conditions, saying that each one of us was ‘destined’ to come off the track at some point. We lowered ourselves into tiny bucket seats and waited as the engines growled. It was then that instinct kicked in – this was, essentially, a faster version of the ride-on lawnmower that accounted for my every other weekend when I was a kid. I was in my element. When the flag dropped, I took off at a great rate of knots. There was
water everywhere. I knew the elevenyear-old was in front of me, because I could hear the strains of NSYNC’s ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ from somewhere over the other side of the track. The nineteen-year-old – who we thought would baulk at the whole idea – was now hurtling through space (and possibly time) as his go-kart left the track entirely and plunged into the lawn. He was having a lot of fun. I, on the other hand, was putting safety first. In that respect, I was very much on my own. One of the rules of the go-kart track is that you must slow down when the lights are orange because someone might be on the track. When I dutifully eased to a crawl in the face of an amber flashing light, I was then overtaken by my partner, Katrina, who had seen her chance to leave me in her wake and had taken it.
I came stone-cold last. But of all those driving that day, I was almost certainly the safest. I was definitely the only one using their indicators. After our time was done, we each exited our vehicle and awaited the official results which, of course, could then be disputed on the journey home. After we piled into the car and I started the engine, I was greeted by the sounds of NSYNC’s ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ for the thirtieth time that day. I was wet, cold, I’d just come last by a considerable distance and now I was being subjected to a dodgy boyband from the nineties. And I was happy. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

A BRILLIANT unbeaten knock from Kierran Voelkl has helped Dromana score a hard-fought win over Red Hill. Dromana hosted the match last Saturday. After losing the toss, Red Hill was sent in to bat first.
Harry Gouldstone and Thomas Lewis helped Red Hill put a big total on the scoreboard. Gouldstone scored 59 from 67 deliveries, and Lewis scored an unbeaten 52 from 45 balls. Lewis smashed four sixes during his innings.
Red Hill scored 6/220 from their 40 overs, and were in a good position to claim the win.
Dromana got their run chase off to a strong start thanks to openers Beau Anthony and Sam Fowler. Captain Fowler scored a patient 27 from 62 deliveries, and Anthony scored a quickfire 40 from 33. He hit seven boundaries.
After Anthony’s wicket fell, Kierran Voelkl came to the crease and put on a show. He made 92 runs at a strike rate of 100 to get his side over the line.

STATE 4 club Mentone has the youngest senior coach in local soccer circles after the recent appointment of 32-year-old Matias Cantavenera.
He has been part of the Panthers’ senior squad since leaving Chelsea at the end of the 2019 season but the midfielder is unlikely to be playing coach next season.
“I might play in the thirds but I can’t see myself playing in the seniors or reserves,” Cantavenera said.
But that’s furthest from his mind right now as he embraces the excitement at tackling his first senior coaching post.
“When Jason (Grieve) said he was leaving I felt this was a great time for me to take my first senior gig.
“I applied for the job and got it which I’m really thrilled about and I had great backing from the players which helped me hugely in getting the job.
“Everyone’s really excited for me, everyone’s really pumped.”
The players not only knew Cantavenera as a teammate but also as a coach.
Midway through last season Grieve spent seven weeks in his native Scotland for family reasons and Cantavenera filled the breach.
“I had a really good time doing it, I got on really well with the players and we had some really good results.”
Cantavenera was born in Argentina and came to Australia when he was 10.
Football was in his blood given the sport’s status in South America and he progressed from the juniors at Chelsea through to senior ranks.
A friendship prompted his switch to Mentone after the 2019 season and as he got older he moved back to a central defensive role.
“I think you get to observe more than if you were playing in midfield which is more all action.
“I’ve played against pretty much all the teams that are in our division and coached against many of them so I’ve got a really good handle on what State 4 is all about.
“More importantly I’ve got a good idea of what our players are about and how to get the best out of them.”
Cantavenera has also coached at junior boys NPL level as an assistant to Caleb Vaughan at Dandenong City and he has signed up his friend as his assistant.
“I wanted Caleb because he’s probably the person who knows more about football than anyone I’ve ever met.
“He’s done the equivalent of his C (coaching) licence and B licence in England and he’s taken coaching seri-
ously for a while now.
“As soon as I even thought about going for this job there was no-one else I wanted to do it with me.”
Cantavenera’s father Claudio will combine the roles of strength and conditioning and goalkeeping coach while the reserves coaching staff is yet to be appointed.
As for the senior squad few changes are expected.
“I want to keep all of the players to be honest.
“They are all good players and we have a great keeper which is so important.
“We’re a good club.
“The people here are good to be around and there’s no negativity on the social side of things which is important for the playing environment.”
Cantavenera has targeted a couple of new signings as he’s keen to add to the depth of his squad.
“I’d like to strengthen at centre back and we need more depth in goalkeeping.
“There’s obviously some really good players around and if we can grab one or two that would be great.”
It’s commonplace for new coaches to set firm goals for their team and if pressed about the upcoming season the word “promotion” usually features in their response.
Not so with Cantavenera.
He may be young in coaching terms but he’s canny enough to avoid setting himself and his players up for failure.
“I don’t want to set any targets yet simply because it’s better not to have a large target on your back.
“You can end up putting too much pressure on yourself if you fail to reach your targets early on in the season and suddenly you can find yourself in a very negative space.
“That’s when things become difficult.
“All I will say is that we definitely need to work on our fitness and if we can play the kind of football that works for us and everyone has a good understanding of their roles then we’ll have a team that’s capable of doing some good things in State 4.”
