“There hasn’t been afight in here the five years I’ve had it, andI know the previous owner wouldn’t tolerate that either -hewas along-established publican who knew how to run hotels. “It’s interesting how that misconception is still in people’s minds.”
Even so, interest in the venue remains high.
“And the other thing was too that Ithought, ‘well, I don’t want to be tied here 24/7, Iwant abusiness that has enough turnover to pay staff, so that they can help me run the place’. And it did.” Given itshealthy turnover, ‘TheGippy’ appears to be asolid investment; but its old reputationasa “bloodbath” is keeping some potential buyers away. Mr Corsargave hisassurances this was no longer the case. “I have zero tolerance here to that sort of stuff -I throw them out,” Mr Corsar said. “Every day, Iget some sort of connection to the past of notthe previous owner, but the previous owner twice back.
“The guy that Ibought (the Gippsland Hotel) off had paid quite alot of money to an accounting firm to present the figures,and Ithen ranthat past my accountant. “He came and he did afairly forensic examination of the figures, and said ‘yeah, they’re pretty sound’.

One of Sale’s most famous venues, the Gippsland Hotel, has been placed on the market, and its current co-owner is encouraging afootballer to takeover. Frank Corsar and his partner Gillian ‘Gilly’ Murphy have been owner-operators of ‘The Gippy’ for the past five years, and are now selling the establishment with aview to retirement. While being afamous athlete is not aprerequisite for purchase, Mr Corsar believes it would be an asset to the York Street venue. “You need someone who’s younger, and who’s got a bit of aprofile, to bring people in,” he explained to the Gippsland Times “The personwho originallyowned this(the Gippsland Hotel)was an ex-Fitzroy footballplayer who moved over to Gippsland.
Mr Corsar came to the Gippsland Hotel with several years of hospitality experience under his belt. He first became involved in the industry while studying at Monash University, finding part-time employment at one of the local hotels. “I liked that so much that Idid my first year of my teachingdegree,and then went and did acouple of qualifications at William Angliss(Institute), and stayed in the hospitality industry for 15 years,” Mr Corsar said. “And then Ithought ‘oh s--t, I’d better go back and finish that teaching degree,’ so Idid.” As such, he is also aqualified teacher,havingdivided his time between schools and operating hotels in the years since.

Caroline (not her real name) from Sale, uses a mobility scooter, and she used to cross York Street from Stawell St, saying it was easy enough with the wider accessibilitywedges/ramps on the footpath. The replacement works on the footpaths have a much smaller wedge/ramp, which Caroline says givesher fewer options to crossthe road. She says it’s more difficult and dangerous to crossYork Street at the moment.
TOM McIntosh has been admitted to the Legislative Council representing Eastern Victoria, filling the casualvacancycreated by the deathofJane Garrett last month. Mr McIntosh got his first job in government with Ms Garrett, and had been preselected to replace Ms Garrettafter herdecision to retire at the November 2022 State Election. Mr McIntosh grew up the son of ashearer and teacher on the family farm until age 17, and then spentthe next 10 years working in regional Victoria as an electrician. Mr McIntosh believes he comes to the parliament with arange of life experiences that will help him to represent the vast electorate of Eastern Victoria. He has been avolunteer foster carer, opening his home to teens in crisis; has worked for the Financial and Consumers Rights Council, making significant changes for people facing financial hardship; and also hasworked in consumer protection as an adviser to Ms Garrett. Mr McIntosh has operated his own businesses and also worked for many years on large construction sites. He has an immense respect for small business owners and is aproud unionist, believing the two are in no way at odds. The electorate is 44,500square kilometres -bigger than Belgium and has over half amillion people in it, spans across 11 state electorates from the outer suburbs of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, through to regional Gippsland,and rural and remote outer Gippsland. Mr McIntosh said he was up for the challenge. “Jane made an incrediblecontribution to com munity and politics and Ihope to continue her great work,” he said. “Equality is key to agreat society, and Iwant to ensure equality of opportunity to everyone living in the region.
“I want to do everything in my power to support farmers and farming communities, particularly in resilience and adaptation to climate change.Iknow first hand how devastating droughts can be, the 1983 drought crippled us and the drought of the late 90s saw the end of our family farm.”

“And now there are more cars going through Stawell St than ever before because of the works and the red lights on Macarthur St. It used to be avery quiet street,” she said. Caroline has been speaking to multiple councillors about her concerns, and the Gippsland Times has followed it up with council. At the moment, crossing York St near the Raglan St roundabout requires going across five lanes of traffic in one attempt, with no centre-point to stop and wait for traffic. The Gippsland Times understands that the crossing point at Stawell St was removed as part of the York Street Revitalisation Works, as there is no pedestrian refuge in the centre of the road and was therefore not considered safe. There is no ability to provideapedestrian refugeatthat intersection as it contains aright-hand turning lane. Anew crossing will be put in alittle further north of the Stawell St intersection (near Tyrepower), andthis will be accessible for people with limited mobility.

In the meantime, until the new crossing point is installed later this year, the safest crossing location nearby is at the traffic lights at MacArthur St. AWellingtonShire Council spokesperson said “the new crossing point will allow pedestrians to cross one direction of traffic, take apause in the centre median strip to assess the traffic in the opposite direction, and then safely complete the rest of the crossing”.
“I come to the job eager to talk to people on the ground, and ready to go in to bat on the issues where they need my support.
“We have an incredible opportunity for the region to experience ajobs boom worth tens of billions of dollars that will see the next generation of workers setupwith well paid jobs that can support families into the future.
Caroline responded positively to the statement, saying “that’s fine”, if council are building a dedicated crossing on York St near Stawell St. The works are scheduled to be completed in December this year.

Mr Long cited the 60 per cent publicly-owned CleanCoinQueensland, established to help the state transitiontorenewables, as well as publicly owned offshore wind in the UK and Denmark. He said public investment and the coordination of infrastructure, such as generation,electric vehicle chargingstations and even health, community and education was “vital”.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate ActionLily D’Ambrosio also welcomed the project’s completion. “The Gippsland Plains Rail Trail upgrade now forms acorridor across centralGippsland for locals and visitors to get out andexperienceGippsland’s beauty and wonder,” Ms D’Ambrosio said. Opened to the publicin2005, the trailfollows the formerrailway branch line between Traralgon and Stratford, connecting the towns of Glengarry, Toongabbie, Cowwarr, Heyfield, Tinamba and Maffra. As part of the upgrades, the existing path has been realigned to closer follow the old line, and a new bridge built over the Thomson River north of Cowwarr. The bridge was officially opened to the public in June of this year. Both the bridge and the realignment are designed to diverttrail-goers away fromnearby roads, in an effort to make the path safer. More information about the route is available at gippslandrailtrail.com.auThe bridge over the Thomson River in Cowwarr.
THE state’s energy assets should be placed back into amajority public ownership instead of leaving supply security and transition up to the “mythical concept of the market”, according to Trades Hall. Victorian Trades Hall Council transition officer Colin Long was speaking about the need to renationalise the state’s electricity system at the Gippsland New Energy Conference in Sale recently. Mr Long pointed to the failuresinthe system that led to the energy crisis earlier this year in which the Australian Energy Market Operator was forced to intervene to keep the nation’s lights on. He blamed the crisis on “fragmented, privatised andfor-profit” ownership that supplies essential servicesthrough an “entirelyartificialmarket” and aregime that “incentivises poor behaviour”. He said this system had no provision for transition mechanisms, no consideration for state and federalemissions reductions and ignored broader economic values.

News www.gippslandtimes.com.au Page 4– Times-Spectator,Tuesday,23August, 2022 Michelle Slater ENERGY giant AGL has reported that its annual profits have more than halved in the past financial year, partly due to an ongoing unplanned outage at Loy Yang Aand lower wholesale electricity prices.
Michelle Slater
UPGRADEStothe Gippsland Plains Rail Trail have been completed, promising safer and easier access for walkers and cyclists. The project was delivered as part of a$1million investment by the state government, delivered in partnership with the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail committee of management. Committee chair Helen Hoppner said the upgrades had been along time coming. “We know the community is keen to start using (theRailTrail) and we thank them for their patience while these works were carried out,” Ms Hoppner said. Member for Eastern Victoria HarriettShing, who said the government was delivering on an election commitmentand “providingafurther boost to regional towns by improving access, enhancing recreational opportunities and supporting local businesstoattract more visitors to tourist areas”.
AGL’s underlying profits after tax took a dive by 58 percentto$225million for the year ending June 30, compared with $537 million in the previous year. It saved $150millioninoperatingcostreductions, and is also on track to save $100 million in capital expenditure in the year ahead. The company also reported it had reduced 300 roles in organisational changes. AGL will be conducting astrategic review in September and is looking for anew leadership team afterplans to demerge into two separate companies was sunk throughshareholder pressure.
Mr Long pointed to added pressures including ageing coal plants and the war in Ukraine, which wascausingthe international energy market to remain “convulsed”. He said instead, power should be provided forthe public good, including ensuring ajusttransition, reliable and affordable power, alocal workforce, local procurement and secure employment.
AGL chief executive Graeme Hunt said the results demonstrated resilience against “a backdrop of challenging energy industry and marketconditionsthathave intensified in the second half”. He pointed to negative impacts including lower wholesale prices, plannedand unplannedplant outages,unprecedented marketvolatility, milder weather and increased residential solar.
AGL chief operating officer Markus Brokhof pointed to other forced outagescaused by arise in boiler tube leaks at the Loy Yang, Liddell and Bayswater coal plants. Mr Brokhof said the company had introduced “digital twins”atLoy Yang and Bayswater to reduce physical testing and optimise operating conditions and capital works. He said AGL wasupgrading its digital control and monitoring systems as well as acoustic monitoring to detect early signs of tube failures. But Greenpeace Australia Pacific senior campaigner GlennWalkercalled for AGL leaders to leave immediately and have nothing to do with the strategic review “Atthe heart of AGL’s financial and environmental failures is the dead weight of coal, specificallyAGL’sdecrepit power stations that spendasmuch time broken down as they do generating dirty power,” Mr Walker said.
Renationalise: unions
But Mr HuntstatedLoy Yang Awas the “lowestcost thermalasset” in thenational energy market and was “well supported by the security of supply from its wholly owned, adjoining coal mine”. “The critical role that this consistentcoal supply has played in positioning AGL well in avery difficultmarket certainly should not be underestimated,” Mr Hunt said.
“While it has been akey aspiration of progressive governments to reduce electricity prices through increased use of renewables, current ownership and market rules work againstthis objective,” Mr Long said. “The crisis also shows that the existing system of privateownership of renewable energy bidding into an energy market won’t deliver the transition to cheaper renewablesthatthe Victorian government is seeking.”
AGL expects unit two at Loy Yang Atobe back online in the second half of September after it went offline for the second time in three years. The estimated $60 million outage was not coveredbyinsurance, andwas caused by a generator earth fault which resulted from “a design error” in 2019.
“The quickest way to secure public control and ensurethat all publicintereststests are met is through at leastmajority public ownership of generation and transmission assets,” Mr Long said. “Thiswould ensure that the investment the Victorian government proposes to make with the funding of target results in benefits to flow back to the government and public.”
“We can control oureconomicfuture by plan ning for transformation now, not leaving it up to big fossil fuel companieswhose sole interest is in profits, to decide when they will close their operations, not allow private investors into new generation assets, to determine the pace and scale of change,” Mr Long said.

THE state government is supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transand gender diverse, intersexand queer (LGBTIQ+) Victorians experiencing or at riskofhomelessnesstosecurehousing in asafe and respectful way. The state government has invested $3 millionfor anew LGBTIQ+ Homelessness Support Service to assist LGBTIQ+ people who face challenges accessing housing, including young people.
Housing support service available to LGBTIQ+ community
The program will help prevent and address homelessness by supporting services to improve the safetyofLGBTIQ+ people and strengthen connections between the specialist homelessness service system and LGBTIQ+ support services. “LGBTIQ+ Victorians are more than twice as likely to experiencehomelessnessdue to discrimination, family rejection and intimate partner violence -this fundingiscriticaltosupportthe safetyofour communities,” Ms Shing said. “We’re ensuring that more LQBTIQ+ people are safe, healthy and includedinVictoria, with specialisedsupport and reformstomakesure services are inclusive, accessible, and visible.” LGBTIQ+ people are more than twice as likely to experiencehomelessness as the restofthe population due to amyriad of factors including discrimination, family rejection and violence.
The program will include ateam of 12 specialist staff working across homelessness services and LGBTIQ+support services in Victoria -nine in Melbourne and three in Ballarat, so peoplecan access support they need, where they need it.
Cr Bye said Nakunbalook would set ahigh standard for showcasing the importance of the environment and culture. “Two of the priority areas identified in the Council Plan 2021-25 are climate change and partnering with the Gunaikurnai, and our work in making this centre areality supports both of these priorities,” he said. “Nakunbalook will play an important role in educating the community on the value of our natural environment and on the cultural heritage of the Gunaikurnai and their ancient connection to Country. “The Wellington community should be very proud to have this outstanding facility available to them.”
This team will assist LGBTIQ+ people to navigate the specialist homelessness and housing system and connect them to other supports. This initiative forms acriticalcomponent of the government’s long-term strategy to drive equality across the state. ReleasedinFebruary this year, Pride in our future: Victoria’s LGBTIQ+ strategy 2022/32, aims to ensure outcomes continue to improve for LGBTIQ+ people across the state over the coming decade.

The 130-plus students at St Mary’s, plus staff and families, all gathered in the 5/6 Pod to hear theMorcombes speak. The schoollearned about the importance of having asafety network, creatinga“Family Password”, and listening to “body clues” -feelings of nervousness or discomfort -whenconfronted with dangerous situations. Students were also taught how to respond to people who made them feel unsafe, by standing firm and saying: “No! My body belongs to me!” In speaking to the school, Bruce Morcombe reiterated three key messages: Recognise, React, and Report. “We educate kids to recognise unsafe situations, how to react in thesesituations and encourage them to report these to their safety helpers,” he explained. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in May 2005, following the disappearance of Bruce and Denise’s teenage son Daniel. AQueensland man was convictedofDaniel’s murder in 2014. In the years since, the Foundation has continued to create and distributefree educational resources, with agreater emphasis on how to remain safe in the digital sphere. “The internet is the education tool of today and tomorrow,” Mr Morcombe said. “(Children) need to appreciate it’sawonderful invention and awonderful tool, but equally, there are dangers that exist online.” St Mary’s secured avisit by the Morcombes through their participation in the 2021 Day for Daniel,which sawthe school raise significant money for the Foundation.
Principal Julian Blackford said the school was excited to welcome Bruce and Denise. “Their educational messages about child safety connect well to the child-safe culture of our school community,” Mr Blackford said. He added that it was an “amazinglearning opportunity for our students”. The Day for Daniel takes place on the last Friday of October each year. Schoolswear red, educate students about child safety and donate money, all in support of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. The theme for 2022’s event is “Brave Conversations”. “Thisyear,we’re hoping to have around6000 schools and early learning centres across the country participating,” Ms Morcombe said.

ZoeAskew IT’S Book Week, and in honour of the annualweek celebrating allthings books, Sale Libraryhosteda special Book Week-themedStorytime on Saturday, August 20. Leading Saturday Storytime at Sale Library was none other than Library support officer Leanne Collins,who even hadhelp setting up from Spiderman. Oh no,sorry, this writer was mistaken.Itwas herson Alex, who was convincingly disguised as Spiderman in his black spidey suit. Many of Sale’s youngest readers dressed as characters from their favourite books;there was Wonderwoman, the Gruffalo,ElsafromFrozen, princesses, butterflies, and the list goes on. After aquick dance and singalong, it was time to take aseat for the main event. First up -the classic, possibly the most popular children’s book of all time, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle. The Children’s Book Council of Australia, with schools and publiclibraries,have brought children and books together through Book Week since 1945, celebrating the importance of books and reading and promoting Australianauthors and illustrators. Each year the Children’s Book Council of Australia nominates atheme for the annual Book Week; this year’s theme is ‘Dreamingwith eyes open’. ‘Dreaming with eyes open’ is abeautiful theme that gives scope to reflect on Indigenous culture.
PUPILS,teachersand parents in Maffra havebeen taught valuable lessons about personalsafety, courtesy of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. Child safetyambassadors Bruceand Denise Morcombe visited St Mary’s Primary School last Thursday to deliverapresentation on how kids can keep themselves safe, both in the real-world and online. “It is really important to us thatall children are educated about their personal safety,” Denise Morcombe said. “We especially love giving child safety presentations to small schools and regional communities, andparticularly oneswho continually supportthe Foundation.”

In three, two, one: flames engulfed the car. “We didn’t know what happened,” Zac exclaimed. “It just went up in flames. “As the man who helped me open the bonnet was trying to put out the fire with these little extinguishers, I went over to the lady (Liz Tabuteau) to see if she was okay and ask if she needed any more help, and she said she left her bag on the front seat.”
As Zac stood with Liz and Eric Tabuteau, ensuring the couple were okay, aconcerned citizen pulled over and approached the scene, and that is when the Year 12 student noticed heat bubbles forming on the car’s bonnet through the black smoke spewing from the vehicle. Zac and the concerned citizen wrestled the bonnet open. “It was astruggle; it was really hot!” Zac said. “But we got it open.”

Zac Kemp pulled the sleeve of his school jumper over his hands, disappearing into the smoke and flames. “I opened the door, but Icouldn’t really see anything,” Zac said. “So it took me asecond to find it. “I was kind of scared the car was going to blow up, but Ijust really wanted to get the lady’s bag for her.” After successfully retrieving Mrs Tabuteau’s bag from the passenger seat of the burning car, Zac returned to school. “My uncle, who works around the corner, had come over and, before I went back to school, told me to call my mum because of the poison in the smoke,” Zac said. The young hero finally made it to school feeling worse for wear. “I felt really sick,” he said.
News www.gippslandtimes.com.au ZoeAskew WHEN Zac Kemp woke up for school on Tuesday, August 16, he believed it was going to be just like any other day. Within just afew hours, he was rescuing an elderly couple from their smoking car. Liz and Eric Tabuteau were travelling along Macalister Street in Sale around 9am last Tuesday, when smoke began to exude from the bonnet of their grey Mercedes-Benz. As the driver pulled over in front of Sale Health and Fitness, 18-year-old Zachary Kemp noticed the smoking vehicle. “I got dropped off by mum and was walking to my class in the library when Inoticed this smoking car pull over,” Zac said. “The driver opened the door, and the bloke had no legs, he had prosthetics, and that’s when Iran over.” Zacand his friend Sharni Fehst, another Sale College student, sprinted across Macallister Street toward the smoking Benz. “As we got there, Itold Sharni to call the fire brigade,” Zac said. “Then I, not pulled the driver out, but helped him out of the car. “I ran to the other side of the car and helped the lady and her dog out and away from the car.”

“If you’re atruecrime fan, you’ll see shadows and influences of so many real crimes (in The Unbelieved). We have children that are left behind when parents are killed; drink spiking, which is very common; and sex offences -one in four women are victims,” she said. “What I’m doing is covering stuff that I’ve been covering for years, but with fiction, you have the potential to reach such ahugeaudience that you wouldn’t reach with true crime. “People like me will go straight to the true crime shelf in bookstores. And Ihave people tell me they never read true crime, but everyone reads fiction.”

Wilson to rock Glenmaggie FROM Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected and well-known artists. From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose 1971 anthem ‘Eagle Rock’ smashed all sales records in Australia, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80’s hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of the Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’ and ‘Come Said the Boy’ and into the 21st century as a solo performer, producer and songwriter, Wilson (pictured) has never been out of the limelight. Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Wilson has written hits for Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham and Joe Cocker, and produced smash hit albums for Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons and the Screaming Jets. Ross Wilson and ThePeaceniks will be performing once again at Glenmaggie Hall on Saturday, November 19 at 8pm. Tickets are available now through www. eventbrite.com.au at $65 each plus booking fee and are selling quickly. Return buses available from Coongulla, Heyfield and both Glenmaggie and Blores Hill Caravan Parks, and can also be booked through Eventbrite. Four Seasons performance THE Melbourne Chamber Orchestra is coming to The Wedge to bring Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons to life for Gippsland. The Four Seasons is not just well-known; it’s one of the most exciting, colourful and innovative works from the Baroque era. Each concerto is accompanied by asonnet, and the hallmarks of each Italian season -from birdsong in spring to pesky flies in summer -are imagined in amazingly vivid musical form. As apriest working in an orphanage, most of Vivaldi’s music was only heard by a small circle of people in Venice, and almost all of it was forgotten, lost or disregarded for nearly two centuries after his death. This concert also includes aconcerto by Corelli and the world premiere of celebrated Victorian composer Calvin Bowman’s Daylesford Music, commissioned by residents of Daylesford. The performance will take place next Tuesday, August 30 from 8pm. More information and tickets can be obtained by visiting thewedge.com.au or calling the box-office 5143 3200.
AWARD-WINNING Melbourne crime writer Vikki Petraitis will be in Sale this Thursday to discuss her debut novel The Unbelieved,and her experiences covering true crime over three decades. Ms Petraitis is well known for her true crime books The Phillip Island Murder and The Frankston Murders,and is working on her third podcast series for Casefile Presents. Ahead of the free event, Ms Petraitis told the Gippsland Times that The Unbelieved had been well received since its release on August 2. “As atrue crime writer, you never get reviewed. Iwrote my book about the Frankston murders and an article will give an overview of the case, and then it says the book by Vikki Petraitis is in stores now, but the quality of my writing is never under any scrutiny,” she said. “But since The Unbelieved is fiction, it gets reviewed. That’s daunting for me.” The book is the winner of the inaugural Allen &Unwin Crime Prize. Asked if it was more difficult to write a crime fiction novel compared to true crime, Ms Petraitis said it was all about the storytelling.
The success of Ms Petraitis’s two podcast series have literally given her avoice worldwide. “You’re abit invisible as atrue crime writer. (The genre was) never really personality driven, until podcasts started coming out. After I released my podcasts, it became about me and people would recognise my voice. “I was surprised how easy the transition was from writing words for abook to writing ascript for apodcast and using spoken word. It was such anatural flow from that skill of writing. “I think people are interested in the story behind the story. I’ll talk about my experience with true crime for the true crime fans. People are also fascinated by the process of anovelist, so I’ll be talking alot about the true crime fiction/non-fiction crossover.” Ms Petraitis said she was very excited to come to Sale. “Sale in our family means quad bikes, motorbikes and camping, not that Icamp,” she laughed. “My husband has been coming to Sale for years and years …and as adults we’ve kept coming back.” “So we’re very happy to come down there.”
The In conversation with Vikki Petraitis event is this Thursday(August 25) at the Port of Sale at 7pm. Booking areessential for this free event

“Labour shortages is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that agriculture faces in our country right now,” he said.
“We need to acknowledgethis is notanew problem, this is something the industry has been struggling with for along time.

The Minister visited Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH) Heyfield, before checking-in on flood damage in Traralgon, and then making his way to arobotic dairy farm just out of Warragul. The timing of Mr Watt’s visit to Traralgon was rather pertinent given the damage and loss of life caused by the flood. Speaking from the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre,whichofferedatouch of ironyaspillars inside thebuilding were made at ASH, Mr Watt was joinedbyVictorian Senator RaffCiccone, National Recovery and Resilience AgencyRecovery SupportOfficer Joe Rettino and Labor candidate for Morwell Kate Maxfield, as wellasLatrobe City mayor Kelly O’Callaghan and Member for Gippsland Darren Chester. Mr Watt usedpart of hisGippslandtourtomeet with Cr O’Callaghan and other stakeholders to discuss anumberofemergency management issues.
With Australia registering some of its highest exports in agriculture on record in recent times, the need to fill labour shortages remains ever-present.
“My message to Gippsland is that the new federal Labor government under Anthony Albanese is really serious about working with this region to maximise the value of these industries, to keep them as really important backbonesinthe regional economy, really big employers, and to assist those industries with future growth.”
“When Iwas first sworn in as theMinister I identified labour shortages as one of my top three priority areas.

“Gippslandisknown right aroundour country as one of the great agricultural regions, along with a big forestry producer and fisheries as well. Each of those industries is performing pretty well at the moment but they each have challenges. “Even from the time Ihave been here Ican see that when it comes to agriculture, there is issues around input-costs that people are dealing with, labour shortages, biosecurity issues -people are very interested in what we have been doing around Foot and Mouth Disease in particular.
Mr Watt also met with Victorian Farmers Federationpresident Emma Germano last Thursdaymorning at aroundtable in Melbourne, convened by the VFF. In keeping with thestraight-shootingnatureof farmers, Mr Watt was confident PrimeMinister AnthonyAlbanese hadnot secretly appointed himself as Agricultural Minister.
Liam Durkin
Mr Watt said the government was working on ways to address the issue.
The government will look to strengthen the PALM (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility)Scheme, which has an estimated 40,000 Pacific Islander workers on its books ready to come in and assist with the upcoming harvest season.
FEDERAL Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry and Emergency Management,Murray Watt, stopped by the region last week. Mr Watt was in Gippsland, meeting constituents and getting afeel for issues on the ground as part of his recently appointed portfolio.
“We havepeoplefrom every levelofgovernment, all parties, workingtogether for the benefitofthis region,” Mr Watt said. “Really the point of this visit is so Ican see first-hand what challenges Gippsland is facing in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries part of my portfolio and also emergency management.
Mr Watt said agriculture would play akey role in the transition to renewable energy, which was put in thespotlight further by the recent Gippsland New Energy Conference held in Sale.
“The policythatwetook to the election,the Powering Australia Policy, is all about how we can get to that 43 per cent emissions target that we set for 2030,” he said “The most exciting part of thatpolicy Ithink is that it is aboutcreatingnew jobs in regional Australia, what that policy shows is that by accelerating the move toward renewable energy, thatwewill create, as acountry, more than 600,000 jobs and five out of six of them will be in regional Australia.
“The discussions that I’ve had already with employer groups and unions involved in the agriculture sector tell me that there’s alot more that people have in commonhere then what’s been understood before.”
“That is why Ifeel so optimistic about the future of regional Australia,whether we are talking about some of the traditional industries that have powered the economies in regional Australia, or some of the newer industries,I think regional Australia is going to be areally big winner from that.”
Partners in the Community Trust in Rural IndustriesProgram acknowledge the survey results confirmthatgenuine responses from industry to community attitudes, particularly regarding environmental sustainability and resource use, are the key to maintaining and continuing to build trust.
Data sciencecompany Voconiq has captured the views of more than 19,000 Australians as part of the survey on awide range of topics and issues relatedtoruralindustries,focusingonthe drivers and influences of trust over the past three years.
Rural news www.gippslandtimes.com.au Times-Spectator,Tuesday, 23 August, 2022 –Page19
Grains Research and Development Corporation managing director Nigel Hart said the project has giventhe organisation aclearer understanding of what leadstoand drives community trust in rural industries. “This research indicates that peoples’ first-hand connection and knowledge of individual farmers helps them understandthe ‘why’ behind many of the practices that are beneficial to Australia’s agricultural sector,” Mr Hart said. “It also shows that repeatedly telling people why farmersdowhatthey do, is not the answer to building trust, particularly about emotional topics like genetically modified products. “So, we need to use these results to help better understand how we can work to share our stories and engageinmeaningful conversationwith community members and continue to build trust and knowledge of the agricultural sector.” Animal welfare continues to be an important issue for rural industriesand most Australians feel rural industries share this concern. Around 70 percent of those surveyed acknowledge that animal welfare in rural industries is acomplex issue and is notjust aboutthe absenceofharm to animals (average 75 per cent in all three years of research).

THE results of anational surveyhighlight a continuation of community trust in the farming, fisheriesand forestry sectors, as well as increased support thattheseindustries are willingtochange in response to public concerns.
Key insights from the Year ThreeNational Survey include: -Australians not only value rural industries but understandthat regional community strength and resilience is fundamental to their success; -88 per cent of community agreed that rural industries are important to our way of life; -Rural industries are seen as strong drivers of employment in regional areas, with 82.6 per cent of participants agreeing they generate significant localjobsinregional areas, and; -80 per cent of Australians see fishers, farmers and foresters as responsible stewards of the land and sea, and believe environmental managementis ashared responsibility amongall ruralindustries.

“The relationship between rural industries and community members is more complex than in preceding years andthe extenttowhich the community feels rural industriesare willing to listen and change their practices in response to communityconcerns, hascontinuedtoincrease since 2019,” Dr Moffat said. But while responsiveness of rural industries and environmental responsibility remainthe two strongest drivers of trust and acceptance, the survey identified several issues that are now more important to the community than in the first two years of the Program, in 2019 and 2020. These include concerns about the use of chemicals in rural industries, animal welfare, confidence in the regulation of rural industries and community knowledge aboutthe challengesfacing rural industries.
“While we are making positive impacts on the way people perceive Australian fisheries and seafood industries, we still have work to do. Community trust and visibility of our industries is critical to our commitment to social responsibility,”Managing Director, Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Dr Patrick Hone said. “The collaborative approach allows us to better understand what drives community trust in our industries, and work together long-term to address critical shared issues, in response to community concerns.” For more information on the surveyresults, visit: https://www.agrifutures.com.au/ national-rural-issues/community-trust/ Grains Research and Development Corporation Managing Director Nigel Hart.

AgriFuturesAustralia managingdirector John Harvey said the results show there is an opportunity for rural industries to be proactive, collaboratingtobuildonthe strong trustand acceptance that currently exists.
Lead researcher and Voconiq chief executive, Dr Kieren Moffat, said trust acts as alead indicator of community acceptance for rural industries, reemphasisingthe need to focus on building trust as a means for managing social risk for these industries.

You never once complained about what life dealt you: the pasture was always green, the old folks were affectionate, the winter fire was warm, the pain was tolerable and the plan to travel to Paris never wavered in your mind. You always looked forward and always appreciated life in your own humble way. You were apillar of strength in disguise. You are my role model, dear friend and Iwill always miss you. Rest well in your journey. Love and affection, Mora

CHABAN, Anne. Iwill always remember dear Anne as akind, warm, and compassionate woman. We met nearly 45 years ago in San Francisco, having moved from different sides of the world. She was anurturing and dedicated mother who always took her kids to gymnastics and on fun, memorable trips. She loved making meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas. She never failed to invite my family over and create amagical time for all of us. She succeeded at this every time she brought our families together. When she moved to Australia, I looked forward to catching up on our phone calls. Anne was family. My children knew her as Aunty Anne. Iknew her as my dearest friend. Iwill miss her dearly for the rest of my life. Love, Farida, Mohammad, Sabrina, Omar and family HARRAP, James (Jim) Ernest. 11.4.1927- 21.8.2022 Aged 95 Passed away peacefully at Royal Freemasons Sale. Devoted husband of Evelyn (dec.).

Finally at peace, reunited with Mum. Dad, With tears we watched you suffer, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were slowly breaking, As you fought so hard to stay. You did not want to leave us, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Always in our hearts, Sherrol and Brian. Pop, You were the one who was always there. You were the one that always cared. We will be with you again one day. So many things we still need to say. Emotions were hard for you to express. But of your life you did your best. Worries you kept to yourself. Never wanting to bother anyone else. We remember and cherish all our time together. Words cannot say the sadness we feel today. Josh and Cam. Awonderful Pop, so loving and kind, What beautiful memories you leave behind. Sharing and caring and always content, Loved and respected wherever you went. Ahappy smile, aheartof gold, You were the best this world could hold. Aspecial Pop so kind and true, What beautiful memories we have of you. Meg, Harry, and Addy. Pop, We know you can no longer stay with us, You fought long and hard to be with us. We know you now watch over and protect us. Although we cannot hear your voice or see your smiling face, We know deep down you have not left us. So many broken hearts are left behind, But in our deepest despair our greatest comfort lies knowing that you are now at peace with God. So as times passes our tears will dry, Our hearts will mend, But our love for you will never end. Lacey and Kyle.

TRARALGON brought about the end to the second-longest reign in Gippsland League history. The Maroons defeated Maffra 14.9 (93) to 5.13(43), the falloutofwhich meant the Eagles missed finals for the first time since 2000. Taking to TerryHunterOval, the home side was rarely challenged, and after kicking nine goals to one in the first quarter, set about running the match out with one eye turned to the next week. Brett Eddy kicked five goals for the victors, and received good support from Tye Hourigan, MattNorthe, Hugh Dunbar, Tom Schneider and Tate Marsh. For the Eagles, it was adisappointing waytobow out, especiallyafter appearingtohave afinalsposition all but secured for alarge part of the regular season. Jack Challandsended his 2022with a best afield performance. Others to play well for Maffra were James Read,Alex Carr, James Huts, Tom Thatcher and Andrew Petrou. MOE had an anticlimactic end to its season. The Lions travelled to Wonthaggi, and were beaten 21.12 (138)to7.4 (46). Taking to awater-logged ground, Moe kept in touch with the Power until the first break, but after that, it was one-way traffic. Wonthaggi completely dominated the middle sectionofthe match, kicking 14 goals to one during the second and third term. The Lions addedthree goalsinthe last, with veteran Clinton Taylor kicking one in whatwas believed to be his finalsenior match. Taylor has played over 200 games and givenwellover 200 days service to the Lions in anumber of roles. Fellow veteran Ben Morrow was beston-ground, and had some helpfrom Harri Sim, JacobWood and Trent Baldi. Lucas Fry also played well, bringing out the trick bag with anice dummy-sell in the thirdquarter, while Matt Heywood, one of only three Moe players to appear in all 18 games this season, was serviceable. Moe’s situation this season could be summed up by the fact Heywood, Baldi and Grady Cocksedge were the only players to play everysenior game this season, to go with three in the reserves to play all 18 six players on the whole senior list played every game. Bestfor Wonthaggi was Jack Hutchinson, Aidan Lindsay, Harry Dawson, Andrew Murray (four goals), Josh Bates and Noah Anderson. Power coach Jarryd Blair did not play, while key player Ryan Sparkeswas spotted doing sprints on the neighbouring soccer pitch the morning of the match. Both would be expected to come back for the qualifying final this Saturday. HearingWonthaggi defender Shannon Bray calling out teammate Jaxon Williams at the weekend to “man up” when they were winning by close to 100 points may provide an indicationinto just how focused the Power are heading into the finals.
Tigers
Maffra
Morwell
The Tigers rose to the occasion, handing the Magpies their first loss since Round 11, while the Maroons held up their end of the bargain. On what wasanemotionalday forall connectedto the yellow and black, the Stan Morgan Pavilion was officially unveiled before the senior match started. It almost seemed destinedthen that Morwell players would find the extra motivation needed to win given what was at stake. Mr Morgan was surely looking down proudly after the final siren. With the double-chance lockedaway, Sale went into the matchwithout key players Shannen Lange, Kane Martin and Ryan Pendlebury. Very little separated the combatants in the first half, and scores were locked at 30 apiece come the main break, although Morwell had registered 4.6 (30) to five straight goals by that stage. The Magpies continued to kick with precision in the third, and tooka six-point leadheading into the final term. With their season on the line, the Tigers were faced with 30 minutes of football to determine if it would be the last 30 they played in 2022. News from Traralgon’s game with Maffra came to the Tigers huddle, and with the Maroons having that match sewn-up, Morwell knew then and there the equation was win and play finals. In apulsating last quarter, scores were level before Morwell got out to aninepointlead.Salepegged one back, only for the ball to land in the arms of Tigers captain Boyd Bailey on the final siren. In aperfect script, Bailey went back and slotted the goal, securing victory by eight points and finals by four. Bailey was instrumental for the winners, as was best-on-ground Tyler Brown.Brandon McDonald kicked four goals, while Burkeley Macfarlane, Aidan Quigley and Dan Musil did agreat job. Best for Sale was Will Leslie, Jayden Allison, Cooper Whitehill, Jack Leslie, Jack McLaren and PatTainsh. The Tigers completed a remarkable turnaround qualifyingfor finals after headingintothe midseason break with only won four wins to their name. Morwell won six of their last nine to make it. Football has aremarkable way of working out sometimes. As Morwell playersentered theroomstorapturous applause, the Tiger song was belted out with gusto for what was arguably Morwell’s best win since the 2014 grand final. Just two words summed up the feeling of all gathered in that moment -‘we’re in’. Morwell will now turn its attention to defeating Traralgon in the elimination final on Sunday -anopponent it has beaten this season. Cancel whatever you have on that day and get down to the Maroons’ home ground. It will be compulsive viewing between two arch rivals.

ScottBerechree TRARALGONTyers United won theirway through to the North Gippsland Football-Netball League secondsemi-final after getting overthe top of a stoic Churchill at Stephenson Park on Saturday. In agame befitting of second-versus-third, the Bombersovercame asluggish start to win by 28 points,10.12 (72) to 6.8 (44). In doing so, they have giventhemselves achance to win straightthrough to the Grand Final if they can overcome Yallourn Yallourn North this Saturday at Rosedale. Churchill on the other hand was consigned to needing to win their way through to the big dance off Broadway; and face elimination at each turn from here on in. And that starts on Sunday when they take on Woodside, who took care of Yarram at Gaskin Park. The late withdrawal of the league’s leading goal kicker Ben Kearns before Saturday’s game left many wondering how the Cougars might boota winning score. And with the Bombers holding them to aseason low 6.8 (44) for the day, those fears were clearly realised at the final siren. Things looked vastly different early though, with Churchill slotting three of the first four gaols and looking like scoring every time they ventured forward. Firstly it was Joey Whykes snapping truly, and then the evergreen Brendan Holt, who picked up adrive-by handball off Tom Sevenson and slotted amajor from outside the arc. When Chris Wangman nailed his first for the day the Cougars had kicked three in 10 minutes and things looked grim for TTU. Enter Brad Kelleher. Two strong marks in front of goal saw him kick the Bombers’second and third, and with his second coming just as the siren marked quarter time, the Bombers jogged to theirhuddledown by only two points, after been mostly outplayed for the first term. WithChris Williamsand MichaelDiaz in everything for Churchill early, TTU coachJamie Aitken swung the changes with full effect and the second quarter was all red and black. The Bombers had 11 of the 12 scoring shots for the quarter. With Rowan Hore and Tom Fleming marking freely up the ground, it was left to Liam Willaton and Stuart Goddard to put the finishing touches on for the Bombers as they went forward. After aseries of missesitwas Willaton who snagged back-to-back goals, and at the seven and 11 minute mark of the second term, the Bombers’ dominance wasfinally starting to show on the scoreboard. In fact aseries of missed opportunities from Jye Neilson and Jayden Cutts was all that stood between TTU and an unassailable leadatthe main break. If not for aCainIorangi snap around the corner midway through the term for Churchill, it might well have been abridge too far as the sides made haste for the sheds at the long interval. With Churchill losing Ryan Lowrie and Angus Mitchell to injury in the second term, it was going to take somethingspecial for the Cougarstoget back in the game after the change. The Cougar brain trustmoved the magnets around over the long break and put Kurt Holt into the ruck and moved Dillon Leys forward Wangman was sent into defencetocurbKelleher’s influence and Riley Flanigan was asked to run with TTU’s most dominant onballer to that point in time Michael Jacobsen. Leyshad dominated the ruck early but with Jacobsen, Mitch Mustoe and Willaton getting their handsoneverything in the middle for the Bombers, his dominance was not reflectedonthe scoreboard Withbothsidesknowing whatwas at stake, a 15-minute arm wrestle openedthe second half before that man again,Kelleher, marked and goaled for the Bombers.

Quinn Sinclair and Jack Brown were intercepting everything for TTU, and with Trent Hourigan finding targets by foot from defence, it was all but impossible to see how Churchill could claw back into thegame. The last quarter started with TTU opting to run with their third ruck option to start the quarter, which provided them the chance to shore up their defensive unit. With Hore and Fleming swapping as loose players across half-back between them and JackBrown, Churchillsimply could not hit the scoreboard. When Sevenson hit the deck after acourageous attempt to win the footy resulting in play being stoppedwhile has was helped from the ground, Churchill had fired their best shot and come up short. There is still plenty of footy left in the season for both sides. Churchill will be keen to get Jake Roe-Duggan and Ben Skinner back on the park, along with Kearns when they next take the park. While forTTU, they will be looking forward to taking on YYN for aspotinthe grand final this weekend. The Bombers looked to be at almost full strength on Saturday, however the long sleeves andleft foot of Kade Duncan were noticeable absentees on awing. IN theSunday clash, Woodside chalked up win number one over their fiercest rivalYarramfor season 2022 when it mattered most. Going into the game zero and two for the year and having won three fewer games than the Demons during the season, it was widely expected the Wildcats wereupagainst it in the elimination final. After afirst quarter where both sides managed only one goal each, it was an inaccurate Yarram who led by four points. The tone was set for an arm wrestle and the huge crowd were anticipating aslug-fest that would go right down to the wire. Fast forward three quartersand the underdog managedafurther 10 majors whilerestricting Yarram to just four more. The final scoreboard read 11.16 (82) to 5.15 (45). Inaccuracyplagued the Yarramside all day,but at the last change theDemons were still well in the contest, trailing by just 10 points. The last quarter however was all one-way traffic, with Woodside slamming on five majors to one to see local bragging rights and at least one more week of finals for the Wildcats. It was the Wildcats first finals win since forming as Woodside and District in 2008. Page 28 –Times-Spectator,Tuesday, 23 August, 2022

Liam Durkin IT isn’t only cricket finals Stratford knows how to win. The Swans won through to the East Gippsland footballgrand final in the most dramatic circumstances. If Anthony Hudson was commenting at Lucknow during Saturday’s second semi final as Stratford won 12.9 (81) to 12.8 (80) over Wy Yung, you just knowhewould havesaid“Isee it, butI don’t believe it”. Stratford is now just one win away from lifting the premiership cup. The Swans weren’t the best team heading into last Saturday.They had finished four games behindWyYungonthe ladder and lost to the Tigers on all three occasions during the season. Butthereisa beautifuluncertainty about finals football, and as Stratford once again proved when it comestofinals -itisn’t the best side that wins, it is the best side on the day that does. As the first quarter unfolded however, things appeared to be going as most neutral supporters expected. Afourgoalwind saw Wy Yung takeanadvantage well beyond that by sending througheightmajors in the first quarter. It was an auspicious start given every time the Tigers went inside 50 they scored -they had 10 inside 50s for areturn of 8.2 (50). The Swans however did not panic, and came out after quarter time and went ‘now it’s our turn’. Stratford kicked seven goals in arow during the second, andentered the half-time break ahead by one point. Who would have thought the margin would be exactly the same at the final siren. By the third term the wind had died down, and with Wy Yung throwing an extra behind the ball, scoring became less frequent. The Swans added two straight goals to hold a four-point lead heading into the last. Stratford playing-coach JarrydClohesy implored his troops for one last effort, and the men in red and white duly delivered -bythe barest of margins. Defencewas at fullcapacityfor both sides, who simply refused to yield. Wy Yung could only manage1.1 (8),while the Swans only mustered up four measly behinds. Those behinds were worth this weight in gold, as Stratford was able to hold on for dear life and secure what would have to be one of the greatest wins in the club’s history. Haydn Erfurthwas aclear best-on-ground, booting six goals, while Regan Tait, Nick French, Clohesy, Jack Bacon and William Webb also played well. Best for Wy Yung were Jock Overend, Norman Betts, DylanSomerville, Nick Ward, Brad Daniel and Daniel Perrin. For Clohesy, he has now achieved the very rare feat of makinga grand final in his first year of coaching, while the playershave achievedaweek’s rest in the lead-up to the decider. “To knockthem off andknowyou are going through to the grand final, it was definitely high elation,” Clohesy said. “I broughtall the boys in and said ‘how good
EAST GIPPSLAND SCOREBOARD FINALS
While the match didn’t start on ahugely positive note, Closhey said he was proud of the response. “At the start of the game we just didn’t give them enough respect,” he said. “They are avery good side that spread quite well with avery young, fast side. After quarter time we spoke about that and quelled thatand used the wind to our advantage to get back into the game, from there we just had to stop their outside run.
“I just told them to stick to the structuresand explain that it is just avery minor detail as to why they were beating us, you take the four-goal wind out of it and suddenly it is atwo goal-game.”
THERE was asimilarly pulsating finishinthe first semi-final. Lindenow endedLucknow’s season, winning 10.10 (70) to 10.8 (68). The Catsand Magpiesplayed out aclassic at Stratford to determine who playsWyYungfor a place in the grand final this weekend. Lindenowlives to fight another day. Lucknow does as well -but in six months’ time.

As for the nail-biting last quarter, Clohesy said his three quarter time message revolved around nothing more than effort. “(Just to) not leave anything in the tank. Do everything you can in the next 25 minutes and you’ll get aweek break,” he said. “I wouldn’t say Ifelt we had it won but Ifelt the boys were in good shape for the whole last quarter. Ithought we were in agood head space, when they werecomingbacktherewas no dropping of the heads.” Clohesy confirmed Stratford will train this week.

For the next six weeks, in the lead-up to the Hobart carnival, Connor and Tara will train twice aweek, on Wednesdays and Sundays, at theState Hockey Centre in Melbourne. Wednesdaysare reserved for more traditional training sessions, Connor and Taratell, while Sundays host a round-robin game day, each match lasting six minutes. Training in Melbourne is ahighlight of the week for the young hockey players, but for mum and dad, it means a4am wake up on Sunday and amidnight return on Wednesday. Connorjoined Hook in 2Hockey, in 2017 as an eight year old -the national introductoryprogramfor children10 years and younger. He quickly advanced from Hook in 2 Hockey, playing in Maffra’sUnder 11 and Under 13 teams in his very first season, and by 2018,was goalkeeping for Maffra Hockey Club’s Under 15 team. This season, Connor is agoalkeeper for Maffra Hockey Club Under 15 team and plays afield position in the Under 13 team. Connor has represented East Gippsland at the Junior Country Championships, and Gippsland at the Junior StateChampionships several times. Tara started playing hockey for the Maffra HockeyClub’s Under11team at just seven yearsofage.The following season, she advancedtothe Under 13 team. Tarabegan playing for the Maffra Hockey Club Under 15 team last year, maintaining afield position on the team this year while playing as the Under 13 goalkeeper. Tara only began goalkeeping late last season, quickly excelling in her skill and ability, so much so that she wasselected for this year’sHockey VictoriaUnder 13 Academy. Connor and Tara say they are excited for what lies ahead in Hobart. “I am excited to play hockey and just for the whole experience,” Tara said. “We fly over on the plane by ourselves; our parents aren’t even allowed to stay in the same hotel. “We only get to see them at our game when they are in the crowd.”
The 2022 Hockey AustraliaU13 Carnival is running for the first time since 2019. Hockey Victoria Athlete and coaching manager Phil Burrows is optimistic about the squad. “We’re incredibly excited to have the last of our regular programs back up and functioning,” he said. “We can’t wait to see these young people start their representative journey.”

Maffra pair off to Hobart
ZoeAskew CONNOR Johnston andTara Lambert from MaffraHockey Club are headedto Hobart for the 2022 Hockey Australia Under13Carnival. The goalkeepers have been selected for the Victorian Under 13 Development Team, who will compete in the carnival from September 28 to October 4. Connor was selected for the Hockey Victoria Academy for the second time; the first was in 2021. Connor and Tara attended Hockey Victoria’s Draft Camp in June, adevelopment program and selection event for Hockey Victoria Under 13 Academy. Hockey Victoria’s Draft Camp program combines intensiveskill development in small groups, modified games and matchplay, providing athletes with the opportunity to improve their skills and techniques under the guidance of high-performance coaches. Hockey Victoria’s High Performance Department assessesathletes attending draft camp for their potential selection into the program. Afteranextensive progression from DraftCamptoAcademy, player assessment, then trials, Connor and Tara are two of the 64 athletes picked for the Academy
Whilethe independence of the carnival is an excitingaspectfor Tara, it is a worrying one for her mum Kylie. “I am nervous,” she said. “She’s only 12, and she has gone on schoolcamps before,but that’s not nearly as long.” Likehis hockey mate, Connor is excited about the upcoming event. “Yeah Iamexcited,” he said. “It will be my secondtimeleaving Victoria.”
