Senior associate at Maurice Blackburn,John Rule, is leading the case on behalf of alleged victims at both schools.
“There’ll be plenty of witnesses out there and people who remember this (perpetrator).”
The confirmation came from the Minister for Education, Natalie Hutchins, in Parliament earlier this month, in response to aquestion from
MAURICE BlackburnLawyers are seeking the public’s help with historical cases of abuse at two Gippsland primary schools.
Mr Rule believes there could “very likely” be more victimsatboth schools during the same period.
“The preferred option for the Sale College redevelopment will be known at the conclusion of this process.
“It has been clear for some time that the school, the Committee for Wellington and Wellington Shiresupport anew site, and Iunderstand land in Cobains Roadopposite the Gippsland Regional Sports Centre is afavoured option.”
Mr O’Brien said he hopedtocontinuetowork with the government over its planning for the future, and would liaise with the school and the local community about the options going forward.

He is urging anybody with information to come forward,noting that the passing of time and lossofinformationputs his clients at a disadvantage.
The law firm wants to hear from attendees of Bairnsdale West Primary between 1970 and 1980, and the now-closed Nambrok West Primary between 1980 and 1983.
No timeline for College
But the government remains tight-lipped on when those upgrades will be completed.
“As you are aware, as part of the 2021-22 State Budget, Sale College was allocated $3 million for planning,and completion of early works,to improve facilitiesfor Years 7-12 students at the school,” Ms Hutchinssaid in her response.
“I believethatbyconsolidating onto anew campus we will give our students the very best opportunities availableand improvethe educational outcomes for our kids in the Sale district.”
According to Mr Rule, police have previously convicted the alleged perpetratorofother crimes.
“Havingstudentsspreadacross two different sites is not ideal from an educational perspective,” Mr O’Brien said.
“We’ll always take the call and it’s always confidential.”
Those wishing to shareinformation can phone (03) 8102 2087.
“They might not havewitnessed abuse, but they might remember things about this (perpetrator) or things aboutthe school -those sorts of things that can help in preparing these cases and ultimately being successful for our clients,” Mr Rule explained.
THE state government has reaffirmed its commitment to upgrade Sale College and consolidate its students onto one campus.
Mr Rule is based in Melbourne, and dedicates himself to representingvictims of historical childhood abuse.

It is believed the same perpetrator is deceased, but Mr Rule has notbeenableto confirm this information.
“I have been workingwith the college for at least five years on aplan to consolidate onto one site, either the existing Guthridge campus or anew greenfield site,” Mr O’Brien said.
“I am also advised that Sale College expressed apreference to consolidate current campuses by relocating to anew site. This view continues to have the support of the government.”

“Those sorts of classical paintings would normally have had an antique ruin, like a Greek mausoleum or something crumbling in the foreground; Frank has put fridges in it instead, so it’s sort of acomment on our own times, that we are surrounding ourselves with rubbish,” he said.
In 2022, atotal of 50 paintings from 47 artists were shortlisted, including from eight Gippslanders.

Atotal of 456 entries were received for this year’s prize from all states and territories of Australia, with artists having the option to enter as many as two paintings each.
Gippsland Art Gallery director Simon Gregg was part of the three-person judging panel responsible for selecting the winner, alongside the gallery’s associate curator Melanie Caple and art historianDr Sheridan Palmer.
“Sheridan said the painting seemed to be listening to the viewer.
Mr Gregg said that it was atestament to Mr Mesaric that he could turn an “ugly scene” into something beautiful.
“It’s amazing how it has that effect.”
The announcement of the prize coincided with one of the most successful launches in the gallery’s history, with about 300 people attending the exhibition’s opening. Mr Gregg on the night said the venue was close to capacity.
“Frank’s picture was really clever, we thought –it’sakind of classical composition,” Mr Gregg said.
“Everything about it said, ‘make a painting of this’ and it …wasn’tsomuch making apainting of alandscape, but almost astill-life in alandscape.
“She loved the sense of intimacy about it; she thought it was just paint, that it had a kind of classical grace or beauty to it.

When asked why he believed his work appealed to the judges, Mr Mesaric responded: “The only thing Ican say is that it’s an honest piece as work, and that’s its only credential.”

If you spot salvinia or waterhyacinth,email photographs and details of the plant to weed. spotters@agriculture.vic.gov.au, and an officer will reach you to offer assistance.
Agriculture Victoria incursion controller, Victoria Byrne, said reports of salvinia for sale at aquarium shops and via online platforms such as Gumtree and Facebookmarketplacehad increased in recent months.
“It’s very important an effectiveeradication program be implemented as soonasaninfestation is discovered to preventlinked open water systems from becoming infested.”
All reportsofalleged illegal spotlighting are assessed and responded to accordingly.

Ms Byrne said people are often unaware of the serious problem posed by these weeds.
AGRICULTURE Victoria is concerned about rise in the sale of state-prohibited water weeds such as salvinia (Salvinia molesta)and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes).
“Aquarium retailers could face serious legal consequences, such as large fines, if they are found to be selling state-prohibited weeds,” she said.

The grants are open to all eligible Victorian agricultural and pastoral societies, including the Royal Geelong Show, Whittlesea Show, Mildura Show and many more.
Concerns have been raised by the practise happening through the aquarium industry in Victoria.
“It’s an offence under the Catchment and Land
Agriculture Victoria executive director, agriculture policy and programs, Sarah-Jane McCormack, said the new round of funding ensured agricultural shows across the state would continue to deliver exciting events for local communities.

Dr Matt Mahoney said lamb survival had increased on all properties using predator management programs,compared to the previous year from two per cent up to five per cent.

Delatite Veterinarian, Dr Anna Manning, carried out 44 lamb post-mortems, with the dead lambs randomly collected during monitoring rounds by the producers.

In the first year, 6110 ewes and 9484foetuses were monitored under the project.
The Mansfield group takes in eight winter and spring lambing Merino and first-cross enterprises in the Mansfield, Goughs Bay, Merrijig, Barwite, Bonnie Doon and Merton areas.
He saidthe aim of the project wastoimprove lamb survival within participating flocks and demonstrate best practice in sheep management practices and predator control.
Successful applicants will also be able to access
tailored leadership development support for their communities.
“This equated to potentially an extra $42,000 income (280 lambs at $150/head) over the participating farms,” he said.
Fourteen per cent were found to have died from an undiagnosed infection, goitre or intestinal torsion, while 25 per cent were found to have died from dystocia.
Senator Raff Ciccone said the grants would assist Victorian regional communitiespreparing for drought.
Funded by Meat and LivestockAustralia, the producerdemonstration siteissupported in partnership with National Wild Dog management coordinator Greg Mifsudand Australian WoolInnovation Community WildDog Control coordinator project coordinator Lucy-AnneCobby.
COMMUNITY organisations helping readiness for Victoria’s next drought can now apply for grants from $200,000 to $500,000.
“This was required because the eight properties weren’t neighbouring one another, therefore reinfestation of predators from non-participating properties had to be addressed.
“These grants will help communities with greater drought risk build the skills and networks needed to get ahead of the drought cycle.”
Emergency ManagementMinister Murray Watt said the fundingcould be “used in arange of ways, including events, training, capability building and small infrastructure projects, and Iencourage communitygroups to apply”.
To apply or for more information visit www. frrr.org.au/impact-program or the Future Drought Fund website www.agriculture.gov. au/fdf.
“We need to support regional communities to start preparing for the return of dry conditions -now,” Senator Ciccone said.

Despite Sale’s stellar year, boasting favourite status as they headed into the Grand Final, the Maroons dug deep and after four combative quarters, dethroned the Magpies of theirundefeated status, taking home the premiership cup.
Traralgon gripped aone-point lead, seven to six.
Despite the Maroons’ tenaciousdefence, the Magpies seizedafour-point lead as the teams entered the second quarter.

In keeping with atight competition, scores were tied seven-all as the Magpies and Maroons ended the first quarter.
Nightingale, who wouldbevoted bestoncourtat the game’s end, was unstoppable. Literally. If the Maroon’s goal attack got her hands on the ball, a goal was sure to follow.
It has been atight competition between Gippsland League’s top three Under 15s teams this year, withTraralgon finishing on topofthe ladder, Sale coming second, and Maffra third, with very little separatingthe three.
Returning to the court for the fourth and final quarter, Sale recomposed themselves following an average performance, but Traralgon continued to lift, and it was too little too late for the Magpies.
Just two points separated teams at the start of the final quarter: Sale 23, Traralgon 21.

By the end of the third, Sale dropped their composure. Traralgon capitalised on the Magpies’ mistakes,regaining control of the game and reducing Sale’s lead.
This year produced some vociferous crowds.
Such aresult appeared along way off after the qualifying final, when they lost 30 to 35.
Maroons supporters boomed, and cheers oscillated across the grounds,turning football spectators’ heads in curiosity, possibly even bewilderment.
The crowd bellowed as teams fought tooth and nail for the 2022 premiership cup.
The whistle sounded as the clock read 8.30am, and in four quarters, the Maroons would be the early bird to get the worm, defeating the Magpies 26 to 23.

IT would have been atough night for the Pendleburys last Saturday.
At three quarter time, the margin wasfive goals -very doable in today’s football.
Warragul onlyhad 17 Thirds players available for the second semi due to Power still playing finals. Conversely, Maffra was without Jonti Schuback and Cody Burgiel, both on Vic Country duty.
Grand final observations with Liam Durkin
Maffra Thirds didn’t get on the board in the first quarteroftheir GrandFinal, and played catch-up from there.
In the third quarter, along kick inside 50 at the scoreboard end literally turned like an off-break and went through.
Sale’s own Scott captained Collingwood in their one-point preliminary final loss to Sydney, while his younger brother Ryan played in Sale’s losing Grand Final.
Clearly local football and netball did not have time to for the second verse, and the national anthem was cut after the words ‘radiant Southern Cross’.
The Fourths started the day with a12.9(81) to 8.3 (51) victory.

Playing aformidable opponent in Leongatha, the underdogs competed admirably.
Sale coach Peter Morrison took the step of asking the team to form acircle around him and link arms as he addressed the side.
Those on the Swans bandwagon however, would have been jumping for joy after the final siren.
Agony and ecstasy

The former had not played since Round 17, but repaid the faith by kicking two goals and featuring in the best players on Grand Final
Such asight is common in media, and is especially heightened whenever ahigh-profile politician is involved.
However, the Magpies responded in the third, outscoring their opponents.
The Parrots led by 34 points at the main break and looked to run away with the game.
The Magpies battledout the last term, managing as many goals as the Parrots, but had to make do with running second on the day.

MAFFRA had two teams in junior Grand Finals.
It would appear someone selected the long version of the national anthem on Spotify. At least it wasn’t the full full version. Did you know Advance Australia Fair actually has four verses?

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester, himself an old South Melbourne supporter, was also chuffed with the result, watching the match all the way from the USA.
Defender Ashton Wright took anumberoftelling marks, and looks aplayer for the future.
With both teams qualified, Sale was blessed and equally cursed to have more players than spots available.
The win was fortunate timing as much as anything for the Guls, as they were able to get a number of players back from Gippsland Power.
Wright was awarded the best on ground medal, while Jayke Andrews finished with six goals.
Jesse Collins could have played his first game since the qualifying final, but the decision was made to leave him out.
To Collins’ credit, he graciously opted not to take aspot of someone in the reserves.
VERY pleasing to hear Sale senior playingcoach Jack Johnstone rang every single Magpie player that couldn’t get aplace in the starting 22 for the reserves Grand Final.

As the Leongatha players rushed on stage for the traditional ‘yahooing’, dozens of cameras were at ground level snapping away.
For afew seconds it was every man for himself, as people literally pushed their way forward to try and get the best shot.
Arallyingcry of “justplay” was followed by inspiring words of “don’t walk in front of me -I may not follow; don’t walk behind -Imay notlead; walk beside me and be my friend”.
Josh Butcher was best for Sale, followed by Hayden Potts, Tom Campbell, Shane Fyfe, Jonty McGuiness and Jack Rietschel.

Leongatha made one change, bringing Ned Hanily in for Nick Nagel.
League best and fairest Lachlan Allman played well for Maffra, as did Jett Killoran, Zach Felsbourg, DarcyDavis, Harry Gravenerand Ethan Aurisch.
Sale went in unchanged from the preliminary final.
On another note, is Sydney the best no-name team of all time?
While they didn’t get the flag, Maffra did get the most unbelievable goal for the day.
With players, officials and spectators standing, adding to the nerves of excitement before the big senior football and AGrade netball match, those nerves could clearly stand no longer as the second verse of Advance Australia Fair began to project out of the speaker.

With the Parrots holding onto an eight-point lead, Aaron Turton seized an opportunity at the 19-minute mark, soccering the greasy ball from 20 metres outasSale defenders were bearing down.
By then everyone at the ground knew it was going to be good old fashioned wet weather footy in the last term.
While there could only be one winner, both teams need to be commended for one thing: on the player points system, Leongatha only had two players worthmore than one point, and Sale onlyhad three.
Brave Sale falls short
Don’t forget,Leongatha losttwo Grand Finals (2015, 2016) before winning the flag in 2017.
Johnstone took it upon himself, flying high for acontested mark inside 50, juggling the mark to take atelling grab.
However, the Magpies were not done yet.
All of asudden, the 12-point lead Leongathahad was worth acouple of goals more.
timekeepers’ box saw the man on the buzzer standingup, ready to hit the button signalling a Parrots flag.
Leongatha’s Cade Maskell collected the AFL Victoria medal for best on ground, while Marriott took the Stan Aitken Medal, presented by current Traralgon Tyers United coach Jamie Aitken.
Aloss in the qualifying final to Wonthaggi had the Magpies then defeat Traralgon on their home deck by three points in the first semi, before turning the tables on the Power in the preliminary final.
To give you an idea of how strong the wind was, Freeman looked as though he was aiming to kick the ball between the goal and point post.The resultant kick swung from right to left dramatically and looked on target, only to hit the post flush.
Taking ashot from 40 metres, the kick registered just the minor score.
Harry Ronchi was given afree kick for contact belowthe knees at the 13-minute mark, but unfortunately, he kicked abehind, one of five Sale kicked for the term.

However, the Parrots were able to respond, with a goal to Ned Hanily off the groundfiveminutes later Hanily had been brought in for the Grand Final in what was his first game since Round 17. What atimetorepay the faith.
By now the rain had well and truly ruined the game as aspectacle. Spectatorscowered under whatever coverthey couldfind, whileword got down to the Leongatha bench that there was 10 minutes left at the 17-minute mark.
LEONGATHA completedthe double on Saturday in the Gippsland League Grand Final.
The Parrots 10.10 (70) to 6.12 (48) victory over Sale capped off an unbeaten season of football, ensuring the title of premiers and champions.
“Bite down” could be heard in the Sale huddle. The phrase has become acatch cry for the Magpies this season, named after aterm used by UFC fighter Tai Tui, afavourite of playing-coach Jack Johnstone. It essentially means bite down on the mouth guard and compete ferociously.
As the siren sounded for the main break, it was still anyone’s game. Leongatha leading5.5 (35) to 5.3 (33).
For Sale, the group should be betterfor the experience.

Sale was well served by Jack Leslie, Will Leslie, Ryan Pendlebury, Freeman, Jack McLaren and Shannen Lange.
Sale was well and truly up for the fight, and did not seemoverawed by the occasion in the slightest.
Choppy conditions at Ted Summerton Reserve made for asluggishGrand Final.
The Magpies had done very well kicking three goals into the breeze, and now hadachance to make use of the scoring end.
TheMagpies managed agoal to Will Leslie in thepocket, which got the margin to three points at the 18-minute mark.
The ball slid its way through for agoal, which ended up being the sealer. He’d only kicked seven for the season before that.
The wind had eased by now, and players were able to link up with abit more surety.
Withoutstatingthe obvious, at that stageyou couldn’t help but think “he needed to kick that”.
Sale won plenty of admirers reaching the Grand Final, getting to the decider after three tough and hard-foughtfinals.
It was the firsttimea premiership teamhad gonethrough an entireseasonwithout losing a game since Maffra in 2004.
Leongatha forward Aaron Hillberg scrambled agoal off the deck just beforered time, and at that stage, although it was only 15 points, in the context of the game, it felt as though the Parrots had enough of alead to go on with it.
During the reserves, anumberofclearing kicks out of defensive 50 at the Can Bar end ended up landing in the car park purely because of how strong the wind was.Conversely, those kicking out from full back with the wind from the scoreboard end were easily getting the ball to halfway.
The sireneventually rang, sending Leongatha supporters onto the ground.

The Magpies still refused to surrender, and kept searching for acouple of golden goals.
On the resumption the Parrots made someearly inroads, with agoal at the 15-minute mark, taking the lead to nine points.
Leongatha knew then and there they no longer had to play to win the game -they just had to play to kill it.
Spectators were not treated to an overly skilful display, but given the conditions, it was understandable why plenty of kicks went astray.
And
The win made it three premiershipsfor Leongatha in the modern era.
Most were too happy to care about the rain, although it did lookabit like agolf crowd with umbrellas scattered around the green stuff.
If someone had told you in January Sale’s reserves would make the Grand Final after finishing last in fourofthe past fiveseasons you wouldhave got odds of 500-1.
Carrying underdog status for most of the finals series,itwas certainly amemorable journey for the black andwhite, whomanaged to getboth teams into the Grand Final.
The senior game started amid mildly calm conditions, but wintry weather had the lights turned on as early as the 10-minute mark of the second quarter.
