“Under current public health settings, employers have been asked to consider work from home arrangements most suitable for their workplace and employees,” the spokesperson said.
By MICHELLE SLATER AMORWELL social enterprise cafe, which was established to service200 employees at the GovHub, is closing after only operating for less than ayear due to working from home arrangements. AKinder Cafe is closing on Thursday, and will be re-assessing its options in three months due to low turnoverin the Church Street building. The $30 million MorwellGovHub was officially opened last year to house relocated government agencies including SolarVic, Parks Vic and Earth Resources Regulation.
“I’d like to see people working in offices, we have our vaccinations and we are nowliving and working withCOVID, but flexible working arrangements is something we have to work through,” she said. “I don’t want to compromise people’s health and safety in any way.”

It was going to provide a$15 million annual boost to the local economy and help revitalise Morwell. But cafe manager Tracy Lund said she estimated only about 10 per cent of staff were working at the GovHub. “On any given day there are about 20 or less people there, we know this as we are there every day. We’ve been running at aloss or close to breaking even, but it wasn’t viable,” Ms Lund said. “We hung out for as long as could, but there was no end in sight.” AKinder Cup was set up by the Morwell Neighbourhood House as a social enterprise to help train people with barriers to employment into entering the hospitality industry. Ms Lund said they were hoping to find alternative jobs for the three staff workingatthe cafe, but the committee would still use the kitchen for community projects while it re-evaluates its options.
The state government stated that the Morwell GovHub has beenanimportant sourceoflocal employmentfor the region, providing 500 construction jobs and 80 per cent local procurement.

By MICHELLE SLATER ENVIRONMENTALgroups are “deeply concerned” by “significant flaws” in proposed mine rehabilitation rules recently released by the state government. The state governmenthas releasedadraft amendmenttomineral resources regulations set in 2019, which were designed to set standards to guide Latrobe Valley coal mine rehabilitation. But Environmental JusticeAustralia lawyers, Environment Victoriaand community group Friends of Latrobe Valley Water are concerned that the proposed regulations would be too weak. They fear proposed regulations would allow mine operators to set the standards for rehabilitation, and they would have no legal requirement to make the full details of their planspublic. It couldmean that thestategovernment would outsource community consultation and feedback processes into the hands of mine operators. The groups also feartherewouldbenoprocess for independent expertreviews before the state government approved any rehabilitation plans.
Mr Sawyer said offshore wind began as ademonstration project in the North Sea 40 years ago to ascertain if turbinescouldbeput into the ocean. He said the industry was now supplying 50 million homes with power and was below the cost of thermal generation. But it was also important to look at the lessons learnt from developing offshore wind in the UK when establishing new regulations in Australia.
INTERNATIONAL investors are circling Gippsland, keen to jump into offshore wind, according to the developersofthe proposed 1.5 gigawatt Seadragon project. Scotland-basedrenewables company Flotation Energyisaiming to buildthe $6 billionSeadragon wind farm off the coast of Sale which could be up and running by the end of the decade. Seadragon would provide 1000 construction and 250 ongoing jobs, and is one of five offshore wind proposals on the table in Gippsland. Flotation Energy managing director,Tim Sawyer, said state and federal government renewables targets, coupled with offshore wind zone regulations, were making Gippsland ripe for investors.
It comes afterfederal climate minister Chris Bowen declaredGippsland as Australia’sfirst offshore wind zone earlier this month under its new OffshoreElectricityInfrastructure framework. Mr Bowen will collate all the information broughtbeforehim,including public feedback, before signing off on specific areas to be open for offshore licences. Once approved, theframeworkswill allow for ongoingcommunity feedback for the lifetime of the project.

“This focused on sharing the area with other users and the maritime industry andmanaging it as these interests could potentially shift over time,” Ms Wilson said.
“Key principles will regulate off shore wind to ensure infrastructure projects are able to share off shore spaces with other users and interests,” Ms Wilson said. “Community engagement is an importantfactor for co-existing with all users in the maritime space.” Ms Wilson said it would also allow the government to makeitclear to project developersto take the interestsofother maritimeusers into consideration. She said developers would need to demonstrate the likelyimpacts on other users and design agreements for sharing the maritime space.

“We are working with governments along these lines, we have to push hard to make it happen.”
“With some of the first wind farms, maritime regulators closedareas and this caused alot of back lash with shipping and fishing,” Mr Sawyer said.
“But once installed, the turbines are fixed structuresand we nowknow you don’t have to close off these areas. We also didn’t have environmental baselines back then but we do now.
By MICHELLE SLATER OFFSHORE wind regulations wouldallow for other martime industries to co-exist in shared waters under new Commonwealth frameworks out for public feedback.
It also pointed to the Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority which was an independentbody established to oversee the rehabilitation of declared mine land.
Publicconsultation intothe draft amendments ended last week. The state government has made assurances that rehab preparations for the Valley’s three mines were continuing to progress, which also included publicfeedbackinto the draft regulations.
EJA senior coal lawyer Charley BrumbyRendell said the new rules should be akey piece in the legal framework designed to address the “disastrous failures” exposed by the Hazelwood mine fire. Ms Brumby-Rendell said the proposed regulationswould not deliver on the state government’spromise of moretransparency and clarity for the Latrobe Valley community. Shewas particularly critical in light of Hazelwood operator ENGIE’s plans to “flood” the mine pit with water“takenfroma flowstressed river system”. “Instead, the regulations leave crucial decisions in the hands of mine operators, without requiring the evidence or community consultation the public deserves,” Mr Brumby-Rendell said. “As Victoria retires old coal fired power stations and closes mines, ensuring companies clean up before they leave is atop priority for the community,” Friends of Latrobe Water secretary Tracey Anton said she believed there was aperceived inbuilt conflict in the roles held by government agency Earth Resources Regulation. Ms Anton said she believed itsroles as both aminingindustry regulator, as well as afacilitator for mining were “at the heartof the problem”. “Thisisexacerbated by the lack of independent expertisetoassess rehabilitation plansand contributed to thedisastrousHazelwoodmine fire,” Ms Anton said. “If the community is shut out of effective consultation, we have serious concerns that protection of the environment and public health risks will continue to be compromised.”
Commonwealth offshore energy department head Belinda Wilson was at the GippslandNew Energy conference in Sale last week, outlining the next steps in new regulations being developed.
“It’s very exciting to be in the Gippsland region at the moment now Australia has its first proposed area for offshore wind development,” Ms Wilson said. “TheMinister’sannouncement has already received positive feedback so far,but thereisa long way to go, this is taking ahugestepforward in enabling new sources of energy in Australia.” Ms Wilson said the new legislation would apply in Commonwealth waters to allow offshore wind projects to be built from three nautical miles out from the edge of Australia. She stressed there would be further legislation to addmore operational detailstothe frameworks, including around licensing, environmental approvals, regulation compliance and enforcement.
“Now we have the world looking at Australia to seethis happening quickly, I’ve heard fromglobal andotherdevelopers looking at Gippsland to see how can we get on with this,” Mr Sawyer said. “This is ahugeopportunityfor Gippsland. Offshorewind is on the startingblocks, we can seize the opportunity to give this afairgo.

Mr Harriman said the Valley’scoal industry should still be fostered as apathway to reaching the Coalition’s 50 per cent emission reductions by 2030.
“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.”

Going again: Liberal candidateDale Harriman will contest the seat of Morwell.
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 heldin Sale recently.
Mr Long pointed to the failures in the 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”.

“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.
By MICHELLE SLATER
“We can control our economic future by planning for transformation now, not leaving it up to big fossil fuel companies whose sole interest is in profits,” Mr Long said.
Mr Long cited the 60 per cent publicly-owned CleanCo in Queensland establishedtohelp the state transition to renewables, 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”.

By MICHELLE SLATER ATHIRD candidate has emergedtocontest the seatofMorwell in the Novemberstate election, with Latrobe City councillor Dale Harriman running for the Liberal Party. Mr Harriman ran for the LiberalsinMorwell in the 2018 state election, gaining 12.34 per cent of first preferences, and was pre-selected for the upcoming election on Saturday. So far, he will be contesting the seat against LaborcandidateKate Maxfield and Nationals candidate Martin Cameron as the incumbent Independent Russell Northe is retiring. “Everyone’s had agutful of Dan Andrews and his terrible wayofrunningVictoriaand his way of neglecting regional Victoria,” Mr Harriman said. “We will run astrongcampaign, we learnt from our last campaign and we are in it to win it.” Mr Harriman was born in Sale and has lived in the Latrobe Valley for the past 30 years raising a family. He has also sat as aLatrobe City councillor for the past four terms. He will seek leave of absence as acouncillor six weeksbefore the electiontocampaign for the seat The National Timber Councils Association president cited “attacks” on the timber industry, the health sector,ambulances andCFA as reasons to stand. He said he would push for Morwell to receive $40 million in state government coal royalties to be evenly distributed across the electorate. “I believe the Latrobe Valleyisnot getting agood deal. The government rips $200 million ayear in coal royalties fromthe Valley, but we don’t get anything back,” he 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.”

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 ajust transition, reliable and affordable power, alocal workforce, local procurement and secure employment.
“When we look at Yallourn Wclosing in 2028, that will reach 50 per cent emissions reductions on its own, we can’t just flick the switch off coal, as renewablescan’tbebuilt fastenough,” he said. “I will stand up for the Valley and shout from the rooftops.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday that Mr Morrison had appointed himself to these positions:
“For the record,Ihave no idea whether the former Prime Ministerwas also sworn in as Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel… and the weekend media reports were acomplete surprise to me too!” Mr Morrison wrote alengthystatement on Facebook addressing the scandal.
“The centrepiece of the rehabilitation plan is aproposed lake to fillthe currentmine void, which would provide stability for the area and manage ongoing fire risks,” the spokesperson said. The Department of Environment,Land, Water and Planning(DELWP) is overseeing theprocess.
The state government is strongly recommending masks in indoor settings, or when people cannot physically distance, have any COVID-19 symptoms, or are with those vulnerable to COVID-19. Masks are still mandatory in high-risk settings including hospitals, agedcare and on public transport.
HAZELWOOD operator ENGIE is inviting locals to community sessions to learn more about the early stages of an Environment Effects Statement (EES) as part of mine rehabilitation plans. ENGIE plans to create apit lake as part of itsplans to rehabilitate the Hazelwood mine void, but this needs to be thoroughly assessed through the preparation of an EES. The EES will assess the project’s potential environmentaleffects, with focus areas likely to includeecology, culturalheritage, waterways and water use, contamination, and ground movement.
ENGIE is contacting more than 30,000 Valley households and hostingthe community sessionstoensure localsknowwhenand how they can have their say. The project team will be on hand at the sessions to give an update on the project, provide information about the EES process and answer questions.

AGL report shows annual profits more than halved
By LIAM DURKIN 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.

“The discussions that I’ve had already with employer groupsand unions involved in the agriculture sector tell me that there’s alot more that peoplehaveincommon herethen what’sbeen understood before.”
AGL chief executive Graeme Hunt said the results demonstrated resilience against “a backdrop of challenging energy industry and market conditions that have intensified in the second half”. He pointed to negative impacts including lower wholesale prices,planned and unplanned plant outages, unprecedented market volatility, milder weather and increased residential solar.
“My message to Gippsland is that the new federal Labor governmentunder AnthonyAlbanese is really serious about working with this region to maximise the valueofthese industries, to keep them as really important backbones in the regional economy, really big employers, and to assist those industries with future growth.”
By MICHELLE SLATER ENERGY giant AGL has reported that its annual profits have more thanhalvedinthe past financial year, partly due to an ongoing unplanned outage at Loy Yang Aand lower wholesale electricity prices. AGL’s underlying profitsafter tax took adive by 58 per cent to $225 million for the year ending June 30, compared with $537 million in the previous year. It saved $150 million in operating cost reductions, and is also on track to save $100 million in capital expenditure in the year ahead. Thecompany also reported it had reduced 300 roles in organisational changes.
“The critical rolethatthisconsistent coalsupply has played in positioning AGL well in avery difficult market certainly should not be underestimated,” Mr Hunt said.
The estimated $60 million outage was not covered by insurance, and was caused by agenerator earth fault which resulted from “a design error” in 2019.
Mr Brokhof said the company had introduced “digitaltwins” at LoyYangand Bayswater to reduce physical testing and optimise operating conditions and capital works. He said AGL was upgrading its digitalcontrol and monitoring systems as well as acoustic monitoring to detect early signs of tube failures. But Greenpeace Australia Pacific senior campaigner GlennWalkercalled for AGL leadersto leave immediatelyand have nothing to do with the strategic review “At the heart of AGL’s financial and environmental failures is the dead weight of coal, specifically AGL’sdecrepit power stations that spendasmuch timebrokendown as they do generatingdirty power,” Mr Walker said.
“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 thenewer industries, Ithink regional Australia is going to be areally big winner from that.”
“We need to acknowledge this is not anew 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 PerformingArts Centre, whichofferedatouch of irony as pillars inside the building were made at ASH, Mr Watt was joined by Victorian Senator Raff Ciccone, National Recovery andResilience Agency Recovery Support OfficerJoe Rettino and Labor candidatefor Morwell Kate Maxfield, as well as Latrobe City mayor Kelly O’Callaghan and Member for Gippsland Darren Chester. Mr Watt usedpartofhis Gippsland tour to meet withCrO’Callaghanand other stakeholdersto discuss anumberofemergency management issues.
The governmentwilllook to strengthen thePALM (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.
AGL will be conducting astrategic review in September and is looking for anew leadership team afterplans to demerge into two separate companies was sunk through shareholder pressure.
Mr Watt said agriculture would play akey role in the transition to renewable energy, which was put in the spotlight furtherbythe recent Gippsland New Energy Conference held in Sale. “The policy that we took to the election,the Powering Australia Policy,isall about how we can get to that 43 per cent emissions target that we set for 2030,” he said “The most exciting part of that policy Ithink is that it is about creating new jobs in regional Australia, what thatpolicyshows 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.
Mr Watt said the government was workingon ways to address the issue.
Mr Watt also met with Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germanolast Thursday morning at aroundtable in Melbourne, convened by the VFF. In keeping with the straight-shooting nature of farmers, Mr Watt was confident Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had not secretly appointed himself as Agricultural Minister.

“We need to speed up renewables in Victoria,but overall Victoria hasn’t gone too badly, we have a pipeline of projects already approved before we even get to offshore wind,” he said. But Member for Morwell Russell Northe described the Bill as “another Greens idiotic policy” with no substanceordetails aroundthe economicor employment impacts on the Latrobe Valley.

Dr Readalsocalledfor transparency around astate government agreement withYallourn operator EnergyAustralia to keep the powerplant operating to 2028. He accusedthe Victorian government of being “dishonest” to the Latrobe Valley’s coal workers and community by not having any meaningful plans to move beyond coal. “These plants are prone to shutting down accidentally everysooften, and given the catastrophic climate eventshappening around the world,we can’t afford to keep runningtheseplants,” Dr Read said.
In responding to the report, Nationals MP and Memberfor Gippsland, Darren Chester -who previously heldMrKeogh’s portfolio -took aimat the Laborgovernment’sclaimofa lack-of-action.
“They are putting the cart before the horse. Some of these large scale renewables won’t be online by 2030, the timeline the Greens are proposingis nonsensical,” Mr Northe said. “These and many other questionsoughttobe answered by the Greens before they come up with city-based hare-brained policies that hurt regional communities like ours.”
By TOMPARRY THE Royal Commission intoDefence and Veteran Suicide has handed down its interim report, announcing 13 recommendations that it will put towards the federal government. The 340-page report was made public on Thursday, August 11. As part of the report, the Commissioners have made the following “urgent” recommendations:
EnergyMinister Lily D’Ambrosio pointed to the state’s raft of climate policies such as its two gigawatt offshore wind target by 2032, the Solar Homes program and plans for green hydrogen. “We have led the nation in delivering climate action.We’ve cut emissions by more thanany other state, tripled the share of renewables and created more jobs in clean energy than anyone else,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.
Dr ReadsaidVictoriawas “onthe right track” withits renewablesand emissions targets, but was still lagging behind other states.
The interim report has been welcomed by the federal government, with Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel, Matt Keogh, saying it is “vital” the recommendationsare addressed as apriority. “Itisclear that anumberofrecommendations from this interim report call for the government to get on with recommendations that have been made time and time again in previous inquiries, highlighting the lack of action from the previous government,” he said. “I will be working closely with my ministerial colleagues, as well as Defence, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and ComSuper to ensure that we promptly respond to these recommendations that will make adifference to the lives of defence personnel, veterans and families.”

Mr Chester previouslyfronted the Royal Commission in June, where he was grilled by Counsel Assisting on the backlog of veterans’ claims during his tenure as Minister. The Royal Commissionwas established in July 2021 to investigate the systemic risk factors relevant to the suicides, and suicidal behaviours of serving and ex-serving Defence personnel. Former deputy commissioner of the NSW Police Force, Nick Kaldas, is chairing the commission, withsupport fromJames Douglas QC and Dr Peggy Brown. The commission’s investigations are ongoing, with the next public hearings scheduled to take place on October 18 in Darwin. “We will continue to listen, consult and learn,” Commissioner Kaldas said. “We want to ensure this Royal Commission’s legacy is avast improvement in the welfare of serving and ex-serving members of the ADF (Australian Defence Forces) and their families.”
“I agree with thebroad themes in theinterim reportthat additionalefforts are required to harmonise and simplify the claims and rehabilitation system, and reducing the claims backlog should continue to be ahigh priorityfor the Department of Veterans’ Affairs,” Mr Chester said. “ButItotallyreject any suggestionthat the pre vious federal government failed to act to improve thesystemfor defence personnel,veterans and their families “From my experience, the secretary of DVA and her team are dedicated, passionate and determined to make adifference in their work to support defence personnel as they transition to civilian life, but the delays in processing claims is evidence of asystem under pressure.”

1) Simplify and harmonise veteran compensation and rehabilitation legislation, which should be approved by no later than July 2024; 2) Eliminate the claims backlog at the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA); 3) Improve the administration of the DVA’s claims system; 4) The DVA should provide advice to the federal government on its funding needs; 5) The average staffing level cap on the DVA should be permanently removed; 6) Increase protections for persons engaging with the Royal Commission; 7) Provide exemption from parliamentary privilege;

“Under this Bill, we are giving more closure notice than what the government got whenHazelwood shut. We are at astage wheredelayisthe new denial and the government needs to accelerate.”
By MICHELLE SLATER THE Victorian Greens are proposing to bring forward the closure of Yallourn Wpower station by four years to 2024 under aBilltolegislate an end date for the state’s coal by 2030. The Transition from Coal Bill was submitted to parliament last week and is set to be debated and voted upon next month. It would bring the closure of Yallourn forward from 2028, Loy Yang Awould shut in 2027 instead of its scheduled closurebetween2040and 2045, and Loy Yang Bwould close in 2030. Greens climate spokespersonTim Read said it was unlikely Loy Yang AorB would be kept open until their scheduled closure dates.
The Greens’Billisalsoproposing ajob-for-job guarantee for coal workers as well as to securefund ing for an independent Latrobe Valley Authority until 2035. The LVA would be taskedwiththe closureof coal plants and developing new industries for the regionsuch as offshore wind, clean manufacturing and mine rehabilitation.

Old Kindergarten chosen as site for new Trafalgar library
“The current mobile libraryprovides an excellent service, however as our communities grow, it is a challenge to keep up with pace. Trafalgar is our third largest town, and it needs astaticlibrary “Technology is constantly changing and with the ability to offer a24/7library service it will mean more accessibility for our community.”

“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 90’s saw the end of our family farm.
APERMANENT library in Trafalgar is one step closer after Baw Baw Shire council unanimously endorsed the old Trafalgar Kindergarten at 28 Contingent Street as the preferred site, as well as concept designs and arecommendation to consider future budget allocation for the project.
Initialconceptdesigns include amainlibrary space, meeting room, good natural lightingand the potential to expand with acovered outdoor area. With the site and initial designs now endorsed, council will progress to consideringfunding allocation towards the development of detailed designs.
Local library organisationMyCommunity Library (Myli), which provides static library services in Warragul and Drouin, has shown full support for upgrading the current mobile library to apermanent fixturefor the growing community of Trafalgar.
“A new static library in Trafalgar will create greater opportunityfor the community to not only browse and borrow from alargercollection onsite , but also experience awider variety of programming not currently available through the mobile library”
Garrett successor brings experience to job
Myli chief executive Leanne Williams said. “It would provide the community and local businesses withaccess to amuch-needed meeting room, access to computers and printingservices, free Wi-Fi and aspace to work or study outside the home. “An added benefit will be the inclusionof Myli 24/7 access where approved members can access the library at atimethat suits them, even when astaff member is not onsite.”
“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.
“The old Trafalgar kinder site is perfectly located within the Trafalgar communityhub,withthe Old TownHall, community garden, Men’s Shed, maternal health services and existingcar parking nearby, and being acouncil-owned building, this location is ano-brainer.”
Baw Baw councillor and Trafalgar resident Darren Wallace said this had been along time coming. “The static libraryhas beenwanted by the Trafalgar community for along time,” he said.

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 yearsworking in regional Victoria as an electrician. Mr McIntoshcomes to the parliament witha range of life experiences that willhelp to represent the vast electorate of Eastern Victoria. He has been avolunteer foster carer, opening his home to teens in crisis; has workedfor the Financial and Consumers Rights Council making significant changes for people facing financial hardship; and also worked 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 44,500 squarekilometres and is bigger than Belgium. It is over 6.5 hours from end to end, 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.
“Many small businesses dependonkey industries such as energyand agriculture that formthe backboneofour region’s economy. Iwant to ensure these major industries thrive whilst supporting mum and dad smallbusinessesall over the region to thrive too.”
Baw Baw mayor Michael Leaney said it was an exciting time. “This is avery positive project for our entire community, not just Trafalgar,” he said.

STUDENTS at Sacred Heart Primary School, Morwell experienced science in action, with avisit from agroup of scientists from the University of Melbourne recently. Their project is called Engineers Without Borders and they took students through aseries of experimental challenges that mimic real world environmental problems. The group introduced students to the many different types of engineering such as civil, mechanical, electrical and software. They discussed with students the outcomes that result from the introduction of technology and how it has a direct and indirect impact on people and the environment. They also outlined the benefits that engineering has on the people and the planet and how it can create sustainable environments.

The junior grades were introduced to the challenges that are faced with producing clean water and how we get clean water. Such as where around the world is clean water? How clean water can be made and the students had agoat building awater filter. The workshops involved them constructing awater filter with aplastic soft drink bottle and materials that were layered such as river sand. The senior grades were introduced to the challenges people face when they live in areas near rivers that flood and where people have to construct houses that float above the water. Their thinking provocations were about floating and sinking. What helps things to float? What can be built to float with local incomes? The students designed and constructed in small groups. They were given abudget with acost and list of items. When the construction was complete it was tested first to see if it floated. Then a set of criteria was used to test it further …itwas not to touch the sides of the box and the construction that held the most marbles without sinking proved to be the winner. All the students enjoyed the challenge and found the information and insight into engineering of value. The workshop also opened up the minds of students to the challenges facing developing countries today.

LOTS of giggling and laughing could be heard when ‘Make aScene’, an award-winning theatre education company, presented Pinocchio in Morwell Central Primary School’s Performing Arts Centre. The students were entranced by the magic of theatre as the story of Pinocchio was revealed. This epic adventure of danger, villainy and excitement was enhanced by the use of awonderful set and amazing masks and puppetry. There was plenty of hilarious audience participation throughout, from both the students and staff, and at the show’s conclusion, the students wereable to ask questions about the creation and execution of the performance.

By PHILIP HOPKINS GIPPSLAND logging contractors and their workers will be more protected from illegal protests in the forest by environmentalists under strengthened laws passed by the Andrews Government. The SustainableForests TimberAmendment (Timber Harvesting SafetyZones) Bill 2022 brings stronger penalties to deter dangerousprotest activities that put the safety of bothforestry workers and peoplewho illegally enter dangerous work sites at risk.
The Parental Control campaign, which will feature prominently across digital,radio,press and outdoor platforms, comes as adisproportionate number of youngdrivers are beingkilled on Victorian roads. So far this year, young drivers aged between 18 and 25 havemadeuparound20per cent of all driver fatalities -while this agegroup accounts for approximately10per cent of all licence holders. Of the 14 drivers in this age group killed in 2022, seven of the crashes have occurred between 6pm and 6am. Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ben Carroll said the campaign would hopefully bring the importance of night driving practice to the forefront “It is asad reality that at any timeofday, first-year P-platers are significantly more likely to be involved in afatal or serious injury crash than fully licensed drivers,” he said. “This campaign urges parents, guardians and supervisors to educate learners around the risks and ensure they get at least 20 hours of practice at night.”
Environmentalists maintain the legislation takesaway their democratic right to protest against activities they regard as environmentally destructive However, Mr O’Connor saidtimberworkers had been shocked by various incidents. Workplace invaders had hidden in undergrowth and leapt out in front of operating machinery, children had been brought into logging areas and steel spikes hammered into forestry roads.
Muchneeded: StateAgriculture Minister Gayle Tierneyhas welcomedstrengthenedlawsto protect forestryworkers file photograph
The campaign supports the requirement for Victorian learners to obtain at least 20 nighttime driving hours, as part of their 120 hours of supervised experience, before receiving their probationary licence.
THE number of young people dying on Victorian roads, particularly at night, is behind arenewed safetyplea from the stategovernment and Transport Accident Commission (TAC). The TAC has re-launched its campaign urging parents, guardians, and supervisors to educate learner drivers about the hazards that come with night-time driving and helping them to get at least 20 hours supervised driving experience after dark. Research shows that in their first year on the roads, P-plate drivers are around seven times more likely to be killed or injured while driving at night, compared to fully licensed drivers.

The new legislation, which had been demanded by unions and the state opposition, introduces offences and updates existing penalties to deter dangerousprotest action in timber harvesting safety zones. These zonesare small and restricted worksites where forestry harvesting and activities are undertaken. It is illegal for anyone who is not authorised to be in those areas. The new legislation comes into effect from next May.
“All workers have the right to go to work each day and do their job without having their health and safety compromised by dangerous activity,” he said. Workers had experienced verbal and emotional abuse, he said.
Lawstoprotect forest workers
VicForests chief executive, Monique Dawson, told aSenate hearing last year that in one incident, a child was wandering near where protesters were attached to aharvester that could have crushed them.
Getting young drivers trained
CFMEU National Secretary, Manufacturing, Michael O’Connor,saidpeoplehad aright to protest peacefully but they should not target timber workers.
To stop repeated safety risks across multiple timber harvesting safety zones, authorised officers will be able to issue banning notices if they believe apersonhas committedorwill commit aspecified offence. These authorised officers will be given additional powers to search containers, bags and vehicles for prohibited items.
On average, around31first-year P-platers are killed or seriously injured while driving at night in Victoria each year, with approximately 50,000 new drivers hitting the road annually.
“It was,frankly,aterrifying situation,” she said.
The Minister for Agriculture, Gayle Tierney, said the government wouldnot tolerate people putting workers at risk while they were on the job. The law changes do not limit normal recreation in forests, or peacefuldemonstrationsinareas where it is safe and legal to do so. The government saidthe legislation wouldbring the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Act 2004 in line with other similar pieces of legislation in other jurisdictions and in Victoria such as the Wildlife Act 1975.

The health of Gippsland’s rivers and wetlands, includingthe Gippsland Lakes, face threats of decreased availability of freshwater, increased salinity and increased sediment and any migration of contamination from the mine site downstream. The Valley’s two remaining coal mines -Yallourn andLoy Yang -alsopropose to fill their mine voids with water when they close, requiring even larger quantities of localwater than the Hazelwood mine. In the context of an increasingly hotter, drier climate driven by climate change, and the increasing pressures on Australia’s water resources, it’s just not sustainable. Since colonisation, waterhas been hotly contested in Australia -and it is communities, vulnerable wetland ecosystems and agriculture that will bear the brunt of mining companies taking water in an already drying climate. As Ms Plibersek said of the State of the Environment report,“It reallydoes give us a wake-up call as anation. It’ss really important that people …takeaction based on the alarming warning bells that are ringing”. Under our national environment laws, the Environment Protection andBiodiversity Conservation Act (or EPBC Act)Minister Plibersek has the power, referredtoasthe ‘water trigger’, to subject largecoal mines and coal seam gas projects to arigorous assessment for the project’s impacts on surface and ground water. This power exists because water in this dry continent is precious and vital for life, and lawmakers recognise communities expect careful scrutiny of large mining projects to properly and thoroughly examine their impactonwater resources before giving them the green light. ENGIE are sayingthatthis ‘water trigger’doesn’t apply,but we know the environmental impacts of coal mining don’t end when the digging stops. The Latrobe Valley community has aright to expect athorough assessment of the impacts on water at every stage of acoalmine, and that includes rehabilitation. That’s why we have legally requested Minister Plibersek to step in and thoroughly assess the impactthe Hazelwood proposal is likely to have on Gippsland’swaterresources and theriskto threatened speciesfromhabitatdamage causedby environmental degradation and pollution.
COMMENT By TRACEY ANTON and CHLOE BADCOCK
The Hazelwoodcoal mine is the first to seek environmental approvals forits rehabilitation plan from both the state and federal governments. With the Hazelwood rehabilitation plans currently undergoing an Environment Effects Statement (EES) process, it’s our chance to get rehabilitation right for local communities, and our precious rivers, waterways and internationally-recognised Gippsland Lakes. The alarm bells are ringing. We cannotcontinue to let large coal mining projects pollute and reduce ourwater resources, degrade our ecosystems and do further damage to threatened species in the face of climate change.
AFTERalmost acentury of coal extraction, places like Victoria’s Latrobe Valley have been left with giant holes in the ground and atoxicmess to clean up ENGIE, the operator of thenow-closedHazelwood coal mine, is proposing to take billions of litres of waterinto perpetuity to turn the former mine into agiant lake. Its rehabilitationwillset an important precedent for the clean-up of the remainingtwo mines. But the dire state of water in Australia, revealed in the State of the Environment report, provides astark backdrop for the water guzzling approach to Victoria’s biggest mine rehabilitation project. The Latrobe Valley community has spoken out against the serioushealth burdenofliving with toxic pollutionfromcoal-fired power stations for decades. But it isn’t clear whether the end of coal mining will also mean the end of devastating health impacts and environmental damage. That’s because the plans for mine rehabilitation put forward by mining companies come with significant environmental impacts of their own. Hazelwood, the coal mine that fuelled the mine fire in 2014 is first cab off the rank. This mine is bigger than Melbourne’s CBD and could take more than two decades to turn the mine void into a‘pit lake’ as proposed by mine operator ENGIE. According to the Latrobe Valley Regional Rehabilitation Strategy, this would see an estimated 638 billionlitres of water -more waterthan Sydney Harbour contains -taken from Gippsland’s rivers, lakes, waterways and groundwater. WhenENGIE was operational, billionsoflitres of groundwater were returned to the river system as asurface flow supportingirrigation and environ mental flows. Now it is used to fill the pit. All three coal mine owners propose to filltheir mineswith groundwater and surface water. They plan to use existing groundwater entitlements, which were granted for the purposes of electricity generation, not for rehabilitation. We understand that tryingtouse this waterfor rehabilitation and securing commercial surface water agreements is the cheapestoption for the operators. ENGIE plan to increasethe amount of groundwater theyextract by billions of litres each year and to significantly increase their surface water usage compared to what was required for electricity generation. This meansless water for what would otherwise flow intoour rivers and supportthe health of local ecosystems. Evenonce the lakeisestablished,the plan requires taking more than five billion litres of water each yearfromGippsland’s naturalwater sources, suchasthe Morwell River, just to replace evaporated water. ENGIE has admitted filling the Hazelwood mine pit would impact water flows in the Morwell and Latrobe Rivers, and ‘have implicationsfor the health of river systems and aquatic environments downstream of the site.’
Ms Macpherson was most recentlyinterim chief executive and managing director of Box Hill Institute (BHI), after four years in executive roles across BoxHillInstitute TAFEGippsland’s Boardchair, Paul Buckley, PSM,saidMsMacpherson’s appointment will ensurethe institute can continue to buildupon the many successes of the past few years following the rebranding of Federation TrainingtoTAFE Gippsland in May 2019. “We are incredibly excited to have someone as highly skilled and capable as Laura Macpherson join TAFE Gippsland,” he said. “This is avery important time for our institute as we reach the midway point of our 2021/2024 strategic plan. “Our focus remains steadfast on building upon our strong organisational culture,maintaining our financial sustainability and mostimportantly, continuing to grow the provision of high-quality vocational education and training outcomesfor students, businesses, and the communities of Gippsland. “Laura’s leadership experience and expertise will ensure TAFE Gippsland is well positioned to meet the challenges and opportunitiesofthe coming years ahead and we look forward to her making asignificant contribution to our Iinstitute and to the Gippsland region more broadly.” Ms Macpherson said she was excited for what was in store: “I am delighted to be joining such an iconic organisation and leading TAFE Gippsland during this exciting period of growth and opportunity,” she said. “I am lookingforward to working closely with industrysoour organisation is wellplaced to deliver criticalskills across the Gippsland region.”

But Federation University vice-chancellor and president, Duncan Bentley, said the university had “listened to staff and the community” and would carry out a“comprehensive review of the program”.
news news@lvexpress.com.au Page 22 —The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 24 August, 2022
“We will set up areview group comprised of employers, students,staff, andexperts to redesign the BachelorofArts so that it is contemporary, multidisciplinary and digitally driven to meet student and industry needs,” Prof Bentley said. “For students enrolling next year, we will be co-creating the final year of the program with our students, and industry and employers, as part of our co-operative education model.”
TAFE Gippsland’s Board has announced the appointment of Laura Macpherson as chief executive at TAFE Gippsland. Ms Macpherson’s appointment comes after an extensive selectionprocess an executive recruit ment agency the board identified her as the outstandingcandidate to lead TAFE Gippsland as its new chief executive. TAFE Gippsland said Ms Macpherson brings an accomplished set of credentials to TAFE Gippsland, including significant corporate and government experience with seniorleadership roles across the transport and education sectors.
Professor Bentley said the reviews would ensure the arts program was “fit for purpose” to be delivered as part of aco-operative education model that the university is rolling out from 2025.
FEDERATION University has backtracked on its decision to can its arts degrees, and will look at continuing its Bachelor of Arts at all campuses -including at Churchill next year. It comes after the university hadannounced about afortnight ago that it was scrapping the degree in 2023 duetodwindling student enrolments, sparkingabacklash from students, staff and unions.
The Australian-first educationco-op is being embedded in allFederation Universitycourses for students to complete accredited workplace learning in partnership with industry and employers. Students will have options to take part in paid cadetships, internships, or work on campus projects, with pilot programs in IT and business to startin2023.
“We look forward to working with staff and extended communitiestoensurethat ourarts programs lead to successful career outcomes for students and help to drive growthinour communi ties,”
Prof Bentley said.

Dan Andrews, who has racked up $175+ billion in state debt, only really cares for Metropolitan Victoria, after all, that’s where the votes are; Matthew Guy is no alternative as he agrees to even more aggressive carbon targets than Labor in the hope of scoring votes. Even amongst the
The closure of the larger Long Tunnel mine which employed around 600 persons at the turn of the century -justthree years later, dealt the final death blow with the town, marking the beginning of afinal,painful exodus from the town and its gradual descent into ghost town status. The Latrobe Valley, which depends on two power stations, now finds itself in similar circumstances. Whilst the recent announcement by the Victorian Greens that they proposed bringing forward the closure of Yallourn Wbyfour years to 2024, and Loy Yang (A by 2027 and Bin2030) may have been asource of great excitement to them, the result of their plans will be to reduce the once prosperous Latrobe Valley to an industrial wasteland and replace our state’s ability to generate reliable, low-cost electricity with ahighcost, intermittent supply that depends basically on the weather. The Greens, of course, will whitewash their proposal with the reassuring claim that displaced workers will receive ajob-for-job guarantee and increased funds for the Latrobe Valley Authority. You only have to look at the Hazelwood closure to see how well that worked. Whilst there was some successes, the truth was that considerable sums were spent on many short term, unrelated projects (e.g. $130,000 for the completion of the final stage of the Sale Botanic Gardens; $78,000 for the installation of synthetic greens at the Stratford Bowling Club; $361,000 for the removal and replacement of an asbestos roof at the Licola Wilderness Village; $149,000 for the Sale Lakeside Community Garden), and even some retraining, but overall, no new, long-term, ongoing equivalent employment was created in the Latrobe Valley to fill the void created by the closure of this power station and the attendant loss of $100 million into the local economy. It is clear in talking to the existing Labor and Liberal representatives that they really have no idea what to do about this. They think the solution is just to throw more taxpayer money at the problem until it goes away, or in the hope that they can buy our silence.

Latrobe Regional Hospital has breached the consultation provision in the Nurses and Midwives (Victorian Public Sector) Single Employer’s Enterprise Agreement 2020-2024; therefore, students have been advised to withdraw from extended care and complete their original placement, or asuitable placement, that is not an extended care model. Furthermore, successful completion of this five-week placement is amandatory requirement for the Degree in Nursing that leads to the required registration by AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority). This then begs the question -ifthe students accept advice and withdraw from the illegal extended care model, isthe week they have completed recognised? Or, does this then mean the students have to try and obtain another one-week placement in order to fulfill the academic requirements and consequently those of AHPRA? There are alot of anxious students waiting for answers. Glen Fordman The importance of acting F.A.S.T STROKE Foundation’s annual National Stroke Week has once again been embraced by communities across the country, meaning so many more Australians will now know what astroke often looks like, and what to do when it happens. Stroke Week, which ran from August 8to14 this year, always has apertinent theme. This year we drew alink between being able to celebrate ‘Precious Moments’ after astroke and learning the universal stroke message F.A.S.T. Acting F.A.S.T means you have more chance of survival and agood recovery -it means you’ll be here to enjoy those precious moments with family and friends. That clever acronym is the easiest way to remember what stroke most often looks like; adrooping Face,inability to lift your Arms, and slurred Speech.The Tistime -time to get cracking and make that triple zerocall for an ambulance. Stroke is always amedical emergency, there is never time to waste. Every minute during a stroke results in 1.9 million brain cells dying, and we just cannot turn that time back. Treatment can, however, mean afullrecovery, or at least, asignificant reduction in the degree of disability. This Stroke Week we saw numerous

competency for registration. The third-year placement is particularly important. Not only does asuccessful outcome mean they will graduate as aregistered nurse; in some cases it is linked to further study goals or long term career plans. It is the final opportunity for students to integrate their knowledge into their clinical practice and consolidate their knowledge and skills. This is the placement that is usually of particularly importance to the student and is highly anticipated. How unfair that these students, after only one week into their five-week placement, have been moved to amedical surgical ward and used as an unpaid RUSON (Registered Undergraduate Students of Nursing) that has an entry requirement of afirst-year nurse. For these students, it basically means alot of patient personal hygiene and very little of the more acute side of nursing practice. This cohort of students has been significantly disadvantaged by the shift to mostly online education as lockdowns have impacted on much of their learning experience, including clinical placements. These students have had it tough enough and it is disappointing that Latrobe Regional Hospital has implemented this practice and that Federation University, Churchill support this extended care model.

Nationals, thetraditional championsofthe country people, we have those who are trying to shift the party’s thinking to one of anet-zero world. So how can we avoid this? Ibelieve the solution begins with cheap energy. Cheap, reliable, despatchable electricity reduces household costs, makes industries more competitive, which in turn creates employment. People with jobs have certainty, e.g. they can have families who in turn spend in their local shops, buy houses, pay rates and taxes, travel, play sport and require education and medical facilities etc. Jobs enable us to build community. The construction of world class high-efficiency low emission state of the art generating plants or even nuclear power can achieve this, the technology is available and proven now, unlike much of the renewable options. So why aren’t we doing it?
PARAPHRASING an earlier saying, Winston Churchill once that said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And in the present day never have truer words been uttered. 111 years ago the Walhalla township was reliant on two main mines for its prosperity -the Long Tunnel Extended and the larger, world famous Long Tunnel. In their lifetimes these mines brought prosperity to the infant state of Victoria, eventually contributing over 45 tons of gold into its economy and even cushioning it against the harsh depression which savaged Australia in the early 1890s with their steady, substantial monthly gold returns. The closure of the Long Tunnel Extended in June 1911 resulted in many workers and their families leaving the town to find work and residences elsewhere; businesses closed as demand for products reduced, and optimism was replaced by aquiet apprehension in the minds of its ratepayers.
future forthe whole community.

Emma Kealy Deputy Leader of The Nationals
The conference brought together people from across industry, community, government and academia to discuss the smart energy development that is proposed for the Gippsland region. We, as conference participants, were presented with ideas and initiatives in Sustainable Housing, Geo-thermal technology, Bio-energy, Solar, Wind and Hydrogen energy, plus other new technology along with finance availability. With $40 billion being invested in Gippsland over the next few years in the renewable energy sector, the opportunities for employment have really soared, plus with $1million available in community grants for community projects, the opportunities for every one of our 223 communities are abounding. This exciting conference hasdemonstrated above all that our region, the Gippsland region, is set to become anational, if not aworld leader, in renewable energy generation.

Australian landmarks light up in our blue and green colours to support our messages. From Ballarat to Albury, Coffs Harbour to Perth, Melbourne to Brisbane, we were so thrilled to see our colours shining from towers, civic buildings, bridges and even the Big Banana. We hope that got people asking why, and then taking the important next step to learn that stroke can impact anyone at any time, hence knowing the F.A.S.T message is critical. Iwould like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped us share our information this Stroke Week. From our amazing team of volunteers, our fierce community advocates, the stroke clinicians who work tirelessly in their research, treatment, and care, the media who tell our survivor’s stories so respectfully, and the community leaders who support us with funding to ensure we can continue to do our important work. Your generosity, time and dedication has a genuine impact and is very much appreciated.
Remember, this November, the Andrews Labor Government will continue its neglect of our hospitals and frontline workers, and only aLiberal and Nationals government will give regional Victorians better healthcare closer to home.
warning to those
Thank you. Sharon McGowan Chief Executive Officer, Stroke Foundation Overhauling Victoria’s health system
THE Victorian healthcare system was in crisis well before the COVID pandemic began. Now, more than two years later, we have seen elective surgery waitlists balloon to more than 87,000 people -with arecord number of people waiting to see specialists. Ambulance Victoria is regularly plunged into Code Red, and fewer than 60 per cent of patients who attended an Emergency Department in the past three months were treated in the recommended time. Daniel Andrews has been Victoria’s Premier or Health Minister for 11 of the past 15 years. This is not ahealthcare crisis caused by COVID -ithas merely exposed how fragile our health system has been with Daniel Andrews at the helm. Labor had eight years to improve healthcare in our communities, yet it has chosen to slowly dismantle it, with $2 billion of funding cut this year compared to 2021. The only real solution is achange in government. To date, Liberals and The Nationals have com mitted more than $1.5 billion to bring regional Victorian hospitals up to date. This includes upgrades at St Arnaud, as well as brand-new hospitals in West Gippsland, Mildura and Albury-Wodonga, with more announcements to come. Healthcare professionals across Victoria have been abandoned by Daniel Andrews, who has been more focused on spin than substance. Which is why under aLiberal and Nationals government more than 260,000 Victorian health workers will be eligiblefor free travel across all metropolitan and V/Line public transport services 365 days ayear until November 2026.

THE Latrobe valley Legacy Group will be conducting their annual badge appeal, which will run from Sunday, August 28 to Saturday, September 3 2022. Legacy was founded by former Morwell resident Sir Stanley Saviage, after WW1, to ensure the families of deceased veterans would not endure financial or emotional hardship after the loss of aloved one in atheatre of war. Legacy to this day provides assistance to those families, who may be at aloss, to find support. Legacy has helped many families over the years by way of assistance with utility bills, home maintenance, taxis to medical appointments and assistance with education expenses for junior Legatees, which are the children of deceased veterans. Legacy also helps with compensation claims for the spouses of deceased Veterans. The Latrobe Valley Legacy Group is made up of three sub groups, Moe, Morwell, and Traralgon, with each sub group looking after the families of deceased veterans in those towns. The members of Legacy are known as Legatees, and are allocated a number of families, to support. At the moment, the Latrobe Valley Group is looking after 160 widows and families. The Latrobe Valley Group also looks after two disabled persons, and onr junior Legatee. The three sub groups provide social outings for older widows by way of luncheons and bus trips to various venues, but unfortunately this has been curtailed somewhat because of the COVID Pandemic. The three sub groups also provide drop-in centres on aweekly basis for the Legacy Widows. The drop-in centres are conducted at the RSL, in each of the three towns where the widows can enjoy morning tea and each others company. There is also ayounger group of widows who meet on regular basis. These ladies are the widows of deceased veterans of more recent conflicts such as South Vietnam, East Timor, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. The Legacy Badge Appeal has been conducted for many years in Australia, and over the years volunteer badge sellers, have been seen shaking tins in the street, at football matches, the local RSL, and many other venues. The Australian Defence Department has also provided personal, to sell badges during Legacy Week, and also works on a volunteer basis. State and federal Governments, do not provide any funding for Legacy, and this why the annual Legacy Badge appeal is so important to provide ongoing support to the Veterans of Deceased Veterans. Because of the COVID Pandemic over the past two years, the ability to raise funds through badge selling has been somewhat reduced. We at Legacy have had to take adifferent tack, in regard to raising funds, many have appealed to business houses and the general public, in regard to raising funds, by way of donation, and the result has been very pleasing. Once again, the Latrobe Valley Group of Legacy is asking for your support, in which has been very generous in the past. If you able to donate to Legacy, our Bank Account details are, BSB-01375, Account No 329307622, and Postal Address is Post Office Box 2089 Traralgon. Aquote fromadying Digger, to his mate during WW1: “Can you make sure the missus and kids are looked after”. This sums up the Legacy cause.
Thorpdale Potato Festival returns THE tiny village of Thorpdale, nestled up in the Strzelecki Ranges in Gippsland, has apopulation of just 471 people but their potatoes are known Australia-wide. The Thorpdale Potato Festival was established in the late 1970’s as an annual event to celebrate the humble spud, highlighting the skills of the potato pickers of the time, as well as acommunity fundraiser for the small farming town of Thorpdale. After a12-year hiatus, the festival returned in 2015 as abiennial event with renewed vigour, embracing the current passion for understanding where our food comes from, and celebrating it with the sort of fun and frivolity that this event has long been known for. After COVID caused the cancellation of the festival in 2021, the Thorpdale community is excited to officially welcome the festival back for 2023. The core values of the festival remain the same as in its 1980’s and 90’s hey-day: Agood old- fashioned fun day out, with something for the whole family to enjoy. The Thorpdale Potato Festival offers up activities that you just can’t find elsewhere -and spudsrule the roost, of course. There is the Vin Rowe Spud Challenge, which brings competitors back year after year to shoulder the 50-kilogram bag of spuds and runthe course. Then you have the Potato Stack -throwing sacks of spuds onto pallets -growing higher and higher. The Potato Picking for young and old, guys andgals is hotly competitive too. The hugely popular Hessians on the Field will be held again, with afashion parade and prizes across multiple age groups for the most creative outfits constructed from hessian spud bags. Other crowd favourites include sheep shearing demonstrations, working dog trials, professional wood chop, and over 60 market stalls to peruse. All money raised from the

However, former Gippsland League secretary BrianMcKenziewasn’t entirely convinced the name argument had many legs to stand on. Speaking on apodcast with the author in 2020, McKenzie laid out his rationale. “If you change the name from Traralgon to Gippsland wouldthat have meant people go there? They are stillgoingtobeactually playing under the administrationofthe Traralgon Football Club,” he said. “It was atotally Traralgon decision, it wasn’t a league decision.”
WHAT’S IN ANAME?
Page 40 —The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 24 August, 2022
When Traralgon played in the VFL
“It made us better footballers and people in general from having to workharder and play harder and train harder. “It was an eye-opener, just amassive jump in standard for everybody and playing Sunday football becausewewere always Saturdays, most of the VFL was on Sunday. “Playinginthe backlinethe ball was always downthere, and you would always playonthe best forwards. “It was good, every second week we would have aquality VFL side coming to Traralgon.”
“For my football growth it was awesome, I’m just so pleased Ihad the opportunity to do it, playing VFL while still living in your home town was great,” he said.
Othershowever, like late legendary Morwell administrator Stan Morgan, weren’t so sure. “To some extent Traralgon’s businessistheir business, but now it affects us all,” he said. “I think this will be done to the detriment of football in the area. “What the VSFL is saying is we want you (Traralgon) to round up your best colts and put them in the one paddock so it’s easier for us to have agood look at them. “Ifthe clubs at either end of the league find their best players gone, they have to start weighing up their options.”
PROS AND CONS UNDERSTANDABLY,debate raged on the issue of whether or not acountry football team competing in astate league would be aviable prospect. The Express dedicated two pages to the topic in its Friday, July 21 1995 issue. Of most pressingconcern was the need for Traralgon to maintain its local identity. Thatmeantfielding aVFL teamwiththe best players from across the region, and also keeping its senior, reserve and thirds team to play in the Gippsland League. “Traralgon is that strong that evenwithout half the current senior team, they would be very competitive in ourcompetition next season,”league president Brian Quigley said at the time. The concept received support from the then Latrobe Shire and localMPPeterHall, while Traralgon president John Cameron believed the club needed anew challenge. “There is just ageneral apathy in the town when it comes to football,” he said. “The people think, ‘What’s the point in turning up if they’re going to win every week’. “What’s that going to do for the league? We need another challenge to get the interest back into football in Traralgon.”
Having come fromawinning cultureatlocal level, Cameronsaidthe Maroons looked to bringthat across, but were found out of their depth. “You always want to play to win,” he said.
Reminder: Asmallremnant of theMaroons time in the VFL is still visible inside thechange rooms photograph liamdurkin
“The club went into it for all the right reasons, to give people abetter standard of football to play, but unfortunately it didn’t work.
Hot topic: Traralgon’s entry intothe VFL caused agreat dealofdebateatthe time.
“Just the finances virtually…thatwas it. League affiliations were ridiculously high, it was just untenable for the club to keep going forward and it would have led to the demise of the actual footy club, so something had to give.”

FOOTBALL By LIAM DURKIN DID you know Traralgon once had aVFL team? The Maroons made the unprecedented step in the mid-90s of going from acountry footballclub, to playing in aleague only one level below the AFL. The movecoincided with atimeofmassevolution that took the AFL fromits suburban roots into atruly national competition, introducingteams such as Fremantle and Port Adelaide. With the major leagueexpanding, the VFL looked to do likewise, approaching clubs from country areas to supplement the existing metropolitan base. Traralgon, having dominated the then Latrobe Valley Football League, (now Gippsland League), at the time considered one of the strongest competitions in the state, were provided the opportunity to take part in the VFL. To mark 25 years since the Maroons time in the VFL came to an end, here is alook back to what is arguably the greatest footballing achievement from any team in Gippsland.
GO AHEAD AFTER much deliberation, Traralgon members voted overwhelmingly to join the VFL. Members were asked to decide by postal vote,with 70 per cent voting in favour of entering two teams in the VFL and three in the Gippsland League. The news was made official in early August 1995, and from there, it was all systems go. Mark Seymour was appointed general manager of the Maroons, and the VFL provided the club some financial assistance to make the transition. The Maroons selected aVFL list, which would share facilities with the local team. Thosenot selected for the VFL side wouldplay for their nominated home club. While all this was going on, there was still a Gippsland League flag to be won. Traralgon made the 1995 grand final, but lost to Leongatha. The distraction caused by the incoming VFL team may well have played some part in the result, however, with that behind them, the Maroons set out on ajourney no other team in Gippsland had ever undertaken.
AN UNTIMELYDEMISE TRARALGON fared slightly better in 1997, winning three games and drawing one under the coaching of Geoff Hocking. However, the financial pressuretoremain in the VFL took its toll, and meant the Maroons time in the big league was over just as quickly as it started. The Maroons had afew external factors to deal with, suchasthe makeup of itsVFL list, which prevented emergenciesplaying with their nominated home club. As one can imagine, the home clubs and the playersthemselves weren’t entirely pleasedabout missing aweekend of football. Adding to the troubles was asomewhat bizarre directive from the VFL that prevented cars being parked around the ground, on the basis it “detracted” from the image the league was looking to portray. While their time as aVFL club was short-lived, Cameron said it was still awonderful experience.
Although most people don’t associate Traralgon FNC with the VFL, the Maroons can proudly hold onto this piece of history for the rest of time. The success Traralgonhad some30years ago has meant the rivalry between them and the rest of the competition has been passed down through the generations. Too many Gippsland League players and supporters, there is still no team you love to beat more than Traralgon.
“We went out with the intention of trying to win every week, just being able to see other sides, we mighthavehad 10 to 12 players that couldplay at thelevel well, where they (other teams) had 20. It was just overwhelming, but it was good, it was really good fun, agreat grounding.
ARUDE AWAKENING TRARALGON appointed St Kilda200-gamerGeoff ‘Joffa’ Cunningham coach and GregMorley captain for its first season in the VFL. Bairnsdale’s PeterHopkins andTraralgon’s Martin Cameron were named vice-captains. With a‘Gippsland’ team now playing in the VFL, the opportunity was there for local players to test themselves at ahigher level. For youngsters who had been overlooked in the draft, like Moe’s Matt Forys, the chance was also there to be putback into the spotlight. The Maroons had 10 Traralgon playersfor its firstgameasaVFL club, againstFrankston on Sunday, April 71996. The Dolphins, coached by Norm Smith Medalist David Rhys Jones, showed the new kids on the block no mercy, winning by 112 points 22.18 (150) to 5.8 (38). Those accustomed to playing local footy knew there would be ajump in standard -they perhaps just didn’t know how big ajumpitwould be. Despite the baptism of fire, the Maroons did not have to wait long to toast their first victory, which came in Round 4againstfellow country club North Ballarat, who had also joined the VFL for the 1996 season. Aphoto of the winning side still takes pride of place in the foyer of the Traralgon Football-Netball Club social rooms, and shows the Maroons victorious14.15 (99) to 8.8 (56). Unfortunately, it was to be the only highpoint for the season. The Maroons did not win another match, and ended the year in last place.
SETTING THE SCENE TRARALGON was certainlythe team to beat in Gippsland League football during the 1990s. The Maroons won four premierships, including three-in-a-row between 1990 and 1992, and made the grand final every season from the start of the decade up until 1995. Such was their dominance, interleaguesides were generally made up of adozen or so Traralgon players. While they were happily enjoying tasting flag success most seasons, things were happening in Melbourne that would lead the powers-at-be sounding out Traralgon to embark on anew challenge. In what ended up being aperfectstorm,the struggling VictorianFootball Association was disbanded at the end of 1994 and turned over to the Victorian State FootballLeague (VSFL), which had been established two years earlierbythe AFL To add another component, the statewide Under 18 competition now known as NAB Leaguewas founded in that same year, with Gippsland Power inaugurating in 1993. The VSFL sought to aligneachstatewideUnder 18 teamwith aVSFLclub. Traralgon,being the powerhouse of the Gippsland competition, seemed thelogical choicetopartner with Gippsland Power (the VSFL was renamed VFL in 1996). Talk of Traralgon entering the VFL gained momentum in 1995. In July of that year, the Maroons faithful were addressed by VSFLchief Ken Gannon, and asked if they wanted to vote on apotential move.
ONE of the more popular theories surrounding why Traralgon’s stay in the VFL didn’t last long is simply to do with thenaming of the team. In the eyes of some, calling the team Traralgon automatically meant players who perhaps should have tried out refused to do so. Like most things, context is needed, and as anyone who played footballinGippsland during the 1990s will be able to tell you -club rivalries ran very deep. So deep, the task of convincing aMoe or Morwell playertoeven consider wearing aTraralgon jumper in the VFL would have bordered on sacrilegious. Given the Maroons’ dominance of the local league before entering the VFL, players from other clubs more than likely saw the realistic chance of handing back some defeats onceitbecameapparent Traralgon’s playing stocks were depleted. Cameron understood the animosity-side of the argument. “If it wascalled ‘Gippsland’ Ithink we wouldhave got alot more players wanting to try out, giving that whole-league feeling.I think having the name Traralgon …guyswere alittle reluctant to come over, especially the first year,” he said. “It was alot easier the second year but unfortunately financiallyjust too hardfor the club. If it hadbeen aGippsland team Ithink being able to get money from right across Gippsland would have made it alot easier.”
Ever the diplomat, McKenzie did not rule out the likelihood of people not choosing to play VFL because it carried the Traralgonname; only saying: “I suspect that would be the case”.

AFTERMATH COMING back from the VFL, Traralgon picked up where they leftoff,winning the first of three consecutive Gippsland League premierships in 1998. That meant the Maroons had won six of the 10 flags on offer during the 90s. The only years they missed the grand final were 1996 and 1997 when the bulk of their side was off playing VFL. Possibly the most overlooked fact is this: Traralgon’s local senior team still made finals in both years it was in the VFL. Talk about having depth. Today, thereare remnants from the Maroons’ days in the VFL. Acouple of jumpers behind glass adorn an areaabove the social room bar, while the VFL logo is still fixed to asigninthe gym section of the Traralgon rooms. The only known footage of Traralgon playing in the VFL comes from Round 9, 1997 against Box Hill. Those interested viewing can access via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEbB3K6aYlU

FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE BY LIAM DURKIN IT was an emotion-charged Morwell Recreation Reserve last Saturday, as the Morwell Football-Netball Club unveiled alasting tributetolegendary administrator Stan Morgan. Friends and family of Stan Morgan, players past and present and Morwell and Sale FNC officials th db fthi match to honour Morgan, for the ope Pavilion’. The Stan Morgan name is now for e of the Morwell Recreation Reserve g Morgan died last year at age 74 fol n pulmonary fibrosis. While the term ‘legend’ is tossed ar d in local sport, there can be no questi g befitting of the title given his service h After playing 77 games in the yello n between 1964 and 1969, Morgan tur t tion, where he was to make his mark o Atruly extraordinary length of ser s and continued until as recently as la Fulfilling virtually every role at th b as secretary from 1980 to 1996, trea r vice president (1999-2001) and on th m the years in-between. As well as all that, he also ran the s for 22 years -something for which hl possibly be best remembered. Under Morgan’s leadership, the Morwell FNC bingo raised an estimated $1.2 million for the club. Morwell won seven senior premierships during Morgan’s tenur occasions which brought him great joy. Regarded as one of the best sportin administrators in country Victoria, he was inducted as alife member of Morwell FNC in 1987 and of the Gippsland League in 1996. Aman of great humility, he responded to the creation of the Morgan-Stanistreet Cup, played for between Morwell and Traralgon, by personally seeking to have his name removed and instead giving the honour to fellow Tiger legend Brett Stanistreet. With aplace in the finals up for grabs last Saturday, the present day Tigers did Morgan proud, defeating Sale by eight points to join in the post-regular season.

It was theWildcats first finals win since formingasWoodside and District in 2008.
Thelastquarter however was all one-way traffic, with Woodside slamming on five majors to one to see localbragging rights and at least one more week of finals for the Wildcats.
The Bombers looked to be at almost full strength on Saturday, however the long sleeves and left foot of Kade Duncan were noticeable absentees on awing. IN the Sunday clash, Woodside chalked up win number one over their fiercest rival Yarram for 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 were up against it in the elimination final. After afirst quarter where both sides managed only one goal each,itwas an inaccurate Yarram who led by four points. The tone was set for an arm wrestle and the huge crowdwere anticipating aslug-fest that would go right down to the wire. Fast forward three quarters and the underdog managed afurther 10 majors while restricting Yarram to just four more. The final scoreboard read 11.16 (82) to 5.15 (45). Inaccuracy plagued the Yarram side all day, but at the last change the Demons were stillwell in the contest, trailing by just 10 points
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 Flemingswappingaslooseplayers across half-backbetween them and Jack Brown, Churchillsimply could nothit the scoreboard WhenSevenson hit the deckafter acourageousattempt to win the footy resulting in play being stopped while has was helped from the ground, Churchill had fired their best shot and come up short. There is still plentyoffooty left in the season for both sides. Churchillwill be keen to get Jake Roe-Duggan and Ben Skinner back on the park, along with Kearns when they next take the park.

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 misses it was Willaton who snagged back-to-back goals, and at the seven and 11 minute mark of the second term, the Bombers’ dominance was finally 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 lead at the main break. If notfor aCainIorangi snap around the corner midway through the term for Churchill, it might well have been abridge toofar as thesides made haste for the sheds at the long interval WithChurchilllosing Ryan Lowrie and Angus Mitchell to injury in the second term, it was going to take something special for theCougars to get back in the game after the change. The Cougar braintrust movedthe magnets around over the long break and put Kurt Holt into the ruck and moved DillonLeys forward. Wangman was sent into defence to curbKelleher’s influence and Riley Flanigan was askedtorun with TTU’smost dominant onballer to that point in time Michael Jacobsen. Leys had dominated the ruck early but with Jacobsen, Mitch Mustoe and Willaton getting their hands on everything in the middle for the Bombers, his dominance was not reflected on the scoreboard. Withbothsides knowing whatwas at stake, a15-minute arm wrestle opened the second half before that man again, Kelleher, marked and goaled for the Bombers.Ifthe large lady wasn’t yet ready to sing she had at the very least started to loosen up the vocal cords. At the 15-minute mark Whykes won afree kick and 50-metre penalty to see Churchill get one back, but the term finished withHore kicking truly, also from afree kick, leaving the Bombers 22 points up and on the cusp of victory at the last change. Quinn Sinclairand Jack Brownwere intercepting everything for TTU, and with Trent Hourigan finding targets by foot from defence,itwas all but impossible to see how Churchill could claw back into thegame.

Whilefor TTU,they will be lookingforward to takingonYYN for aspotinthe grandfinal this weekend.
NORTH GIPPSLAND By SCOTT BERECHREE TRARALGON Tyers United won their way through to the NorthGippsland FootballNetballLeague secondsemi-final after getting over the top of astoic Churchill at Stephenson Park on Saturday. In agamebefitting of second-versus-third, the Bombers overcame asluggishstart to win by 28 points, 10.12 (72) to 6.8 (44). In doing so, they have given themselves achanceto win straight through 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 danceoff Broadway; and face elimination at each turnfrom hereonin. 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 kickerBen Kearns before Saturday’s game left many wondering how the Cougars might boot awinning score. And with the Bombers holding them to aseason low 6.8 (44)for the day,those fears wereclearly realised at the final siren. Things looked vastly different early though, withChurchill slotting three of the firstfour gaols and looking likescoring every time they ventured forward. Firstly it wasJoey Whykes snapping truly, and then the evergreen Brendan Holt, who picked up adrive-by handballoff 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 hissecondcoming just as the siren marked quarter time, the Bombersjogged to their huddle down by only two points, after been mostly outplayed for the first term. With Chris Williams and Michael Diaz in everything for Churchill early, TTU coach Jamie Aitken swung the changes with full effectand the second quarterwas all red and black. The Bombers had 11 of the 12 scoring shots for the quarter. With Rowan Hore and Tom

The pressure of finals football can do all sorts of things to players and teams, and what was, isn’t necessarily what is, when the spotlight shines on them. Boolarra, like their next opponent, Yinnar, have shown, they’re no ‘rabbitsinheadlights’ -they want to go all the way.
THE challengewas always going to be enormous for any side that finished outside of the top-two, because it would mean needing to win, not one, not two, but three finals before thechancetoearn aspotinthe big dance in the last game of the year. Yinnar and Boolarrahavecrossed the first bridge and are now at the second. This Sunday,one of them will fall at the second hurdle, while the victorwill move one step forward as they face apreliminary final against the loser of Tarwinand Newborough For now, however, the focus for both coachesisnofurther than what this week presents “It’s another opportunity against aquality side and our rivalsinBoolarra,” Magpies coach Daniel Taylor said. “They’ve got quality players across the board and we know exactly how they want to play, the challenge for us is to bring the heat and get the game on our terms. “It’s amassive game and I’m confident we’ll be up for the fight.”

ELIMINATION FINAL REVIEWS FOSTER v YINNAR THERE had been somewhat contrasting seasons forthese two clubs: Yinnar had started and stopped throughoutmuchof the season, one week showing all the signs of atop of the tableside,followed by another where winnablegames werelost, up against aFoster side that for various reasons had struggled with player availability early, before some strong recruiting and astable 18 meant the Tigers had finished the season strongly. That said, it was all about three hours on Saturday afternoon that determined which club’sseason would end and which would step closer to agrand final berth. Both clubs were deserving, but with only room for one, the stakes were high, and the close result was one that finally fell the way of the Magpies, who won 7.8 (50) to 6.7 (43). Yinnar coach Daniel Taylor was understandably ecstatic.

“There’s been alot of talk about the Foster forwards but Ithought Brendan Chapman in his 200th senior game for our club did an outstanding job on (Michael) Cooke and for me was the best player on the ground. “Jack Deen also played his usual selfless role and did an outstanding job down back on (Tom) Bartholomew, which went along way to securing the win. “We had 21 guys contribute but these two were outstanding!” It waswithout question the type of performance that will give belief to the Magpies that they are both capable and deserving of the next challenge, Foster coach Sam Davies was disappointed at the end result. “We were justbeaten in afew keyareas over the day-wemadeerrors at critical times and didn’t utilise the opportunities we had going forward,” he said. “Yinnar were the only team Ididn’t want to play and today showed why.” After stealing aspotinthe league’s top six, Yinnar are now down to the last four, with their momentum starting to build at just the right time.
“Whatagame! Finalsfooty at its best, two contestedballteams going at it all day with no easy possession to be had,” he said. “Really proud of the boys’ efforts, Ithought we were the better team for the majority of the day and should have been further in front early on. “To Foster’s credit they threw everything at us and when they hit the front in the last, Ithought we were in trouble, we managed to wrestle back the momentum and to kick the last two goals of the game was amassive effort. “I’m justreally proud of the boys, we’ve lost six games this year by under 12 points, so to fight our way back late in an elimination final was absolutely huge, it’s character building and has given the group alot of belief.

SEMI FINAL PREVIEWS TARWIN v NEWBOROUGH TARWINhad bounced out of the blocks from Round 1ofthe season, and outside of their two losses in 18 rounds had otherwise shown very little fragility that might have given opposition sides opportunity to expose. However, Newborough had beenone team to inflict defeat on the Sharks and that result has given the Bulldogs confidence in their ability to repeat the effort this weekend. Possibly, justpossibly, one of Newborough’s biggest hurdles was that they have been confronted with the unusual predicament of having abye in the last round of the homeand-away season, followed by aweek off in the first week of finals. Newborough coach Craig Skinner hoped the two-week break had made his players ever keener. “We now have ahungry team that believe in themselves as much as Ido, we now look forward to showing just what Newborough stand for when we meet Tarwin in the finals,” he said. As luck, either good or bad, might have it, Tarwin too had played their last two games of the year against the bottom two sides before their week off last weekend. Tarwin coach Troy Hemming said his side wasraringtogo. “Wehad theweek offinthe first week of finals, and now we take on Newborough. I’m just reallyexcitedtosee the boys enjoying theirfooty and they deserve now to give the finals agood crack, it’s just the best time of the year,” he said. These top-two teams are qualityand most deservingofthe opportunity given to claim the first of two positionsinthe 2022 MGFNL Grand Final. That said, there is no guarantee that both will eventually meet on that very bigoccasion, and good sides not only take opportunities, they seize opportunities and do whatittakes to get what they want. In this instance we have two clubs that believe they are ‘the’ team to do just that.
Boolarracoach TonyGiardina said the start was crucial. “Thisweek’s gameisbig,Yinnar looked impressive so we need to come prepared from the first bounce,” he said.
BOOLARRA v HILL END FORthe neutralsupporter it was hard not to feel torn as to which team you might throw yoursupport behind,giventhe paths that had led each club to this fork in the road. Boolarra, after many seasons towards the bottom of the table looking for their first premiership in more than adecade, against ateam whose lastpremiership was more than four decadesago andwho hadtheir latest chance just last season cut short by the cruel curse of COVID. In finals there is little room for empathy, as rewards often favour the brave, the disciplined,the desperateand in some cases, the lucky. In this case,itwas braverybythe Demons to fight from behind to win by three goals, 8.6(54)toHill End 5.6 (36). Boolarra coach Tony Giardina was pleased with the performance. “Great win for the club and the boys,” he said. “After aslowstart Hill End were playing all over us, after halftime the boyslifted their game and camehome really strong especially being afew players down and losing afew more during the game.”

TRARALGON brought about the end to the second-longestreigninGippsland League history. The Maroons defeated Maffra 14.9 (93) to 5.13 (43), the fallout of which meant the Eagles missed finals for the first time since 2000. Taking to TerryHunter Oval, 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 Eddykickedfive goals for the victors,and received good supportfrom Tye Hourigan, Matt Northe, Hugh Dunbar, Tom Schneider and Tate Marsh. For the Eagles, it was adisappointingway to bow out, especially after appearingtohave afinals position all but secured for alarge part of the regular season.

To the Tiger faithful, that will forever be known as the day Morwell snaffled the last availablespotinthe Gippsland Leaguefinals series with athrilling 9.9 (63) to 9.1 (55) win over Sale. Heading into the last round of the season, Morwell needed to win and rely on Traralgon defeating Maffra in order to make the finals. 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 was an emotional day for all connected to the yellow and black, the Stan Morgan Pavilion wasofficially unveiled before the senior match started. It almost seemed destined then that Morwell players would find the extra motiva tion needed to win given what was at stake. Mr Morgan was surely looking down proudly after the final siren. Withthe double-chance locked away, Sale went into the match without key players ShannenLange,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,althoughMorwellhad registered 4.6 (30) to five straight goals by that stage. The Magpies continued to kick with precision in the third, and took asix-pointlead heading into the final term. With their season on the line, the Tigers were faced with 30 minutes of football to determine if it wouldbethe last 30 they played in 2022. News from Traralgon’s game with Maffra cametothe Tigershuddle, andwith the Maroons having thatmatch sewn-up, Morwell knew then and there the equation was win and play finals. In apulsatinglastquarter, scoreswere level before Morwell got out to anine point lead. Sale pegged 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, whileBurkeley Macfarlane, Aidan Quigley and Dan Musil did agreat job. Best for Sale was Will Leslie, Jayden Allison, Cooper Whitehill, Jack Leslie, Jack McLaren and Pat Tainsh. The Tigers completed aremarkable turnaround -qualifying for finalsafter heading into the 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 outsometimes. As Morwell players entered the rooms to rapturousapplause, the Tiger songwas belted outwith gusto for what wasarguably Morwell’sbest win since the 2014 grand final. Justtwo 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-anopponentithas beaten this season. Cancel whateveryou haveonthat day and get down to the Maroons’ home ground. It willbecompulsive viewing between two arch rivals.

JackChallandsendedhis 2022 with abest 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) to 7.4 (46). Taking to awater-loggedground, Moe kept in touch with the Power until the first break, but after that, it was one-way traffic. Wonthaggicompletely dominated the middle section of the match, kicking 14 goals to one during the second and third term. The Lions added three goals in the last, withveteran Clinton Taylor kicking one in what was believed to be hisfinal senior match. Taylor hasplayed over200 gamesand given well over 200 days servicetothe Lions in anumber of roles. Fellow veteran Ben Morrow was best-onground, and had some help from Harri Sim, Jacob Wood and Trent Baldi. Lucas Fryalso played well, bringing out the trick bag with a nice dummy-sell in the third quarter, while Matt Heywood, one of only three Moe players to appear in all 18 games this season, was serviceable. Moe’s situation this season couldbe summed up by the fact Heywood, Baldi and Grady Cocksedge were the only playersto playevery senior game this season, to go with three in the reserves to play all 18 six players on the whole senior list played every game. Best for Wonthaggi was Jack Hutchinson, Aidan Lindsay, HarryDawson,Andrew Murray (four goals), Josh Bates and Noah Anderson. Power coach Jarryd Blair did not play, while key player Ryan Sparkes was 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. Hearing Wonthaggi defenderShannon Bray calling out teammate Jaxon Williams at theweekendto“manup” when they were winningbyclose to 100 points may provide an indication intojusthow focused the Power are heading into the finals.

NETBALL MID GIPPSLAND BY ZOE ASKEW DON’T youjustloveEliminationFinals? We do. The emotion, the passion, the fight, the drive. In EliminationFinals, that is when you see teams wear their hearts on their sleeves, putting the tank into overdrive to keep ahold of that premiership hope. In the AGrade competition on Saturday in Mid Gippsland, Yinnar played Newborough at Mirboo North. The Magpies’ 59 to 34 win over the Bulldogs made for another clean sweep final for Yinnar with wins in BGrade,CGrade andthe Under 18s. In the only other game of the Elimination finals on Sunday, Mowell East took on Fish Creek. FishCreekwas strong,but Morwell was stronger seeing the Hawks fly away with a 59 to 40 win. Best on court for Morwell East was Danni Dunn. The result means Newborough and Fish Creek are out, leaving Toora, Mirboo North, Yinnar and Morwell East standing. Toorawill playMirboo North on Saturday in the semi finals, and Yinnar will take on Morwell East on Sunday. The Tigers might have their fingers crossed Yinnar topples the Hawks, as they have had their measure this season. All four teams have jostled for positions in the top-two at various stages during the home-andaway season, adding agreat deal on intrigue to this weekend’s round of matches.

Jess McRae was best on field for Wonthaggi, with great play also from Ellie Bates and Young. Moe’s best on was Laini Galea. Is that awound Isee in Sale’s torso? Oh yes, that is the hole fromwhereMorwell gutted the Magpies in a68to22beating. Morwell’s Chloe Radford was best-on-court, with noteworthy performancesfrom Claire Allison and ShannonFreeman. Isla McCarthy was best on for Sale, with Sienna Wynd and Rachel Ronaldson named top performing players. Unlike Morwell’s walloping of Sale, the game between Traralgon and Maffra was much more cutthroat. After a60-minute battle,Maffra walked away victorious, beating Traralgon 48 to 43.

MONASH v FALCONS ON alovely winter’s day, Falcons ensured it was one to remember for players and fans alike, as they made light work of the in-form Wolves with a5-0 victory. The Morwell side got off to the perfect start as young gun Nonda Lazaris slotted home the first goal to put his anxious teammates at ease. Monash wouldn’t make it easy however, as a disallowed goal and agoalline clearance certainly made the top side take notice that it wouldn’t be afait accompli. However, the Birds soon made it two with Lazaris making it abrace with aone-on-one finish. After halftime it was all one-way traffic as strikers Sam Amaira and Jamie Pistrin did what they do best to score their 20th and 17th goals for the season respectively. In aman-of-the-matchperformance, Lazaris completed his hat-trick with yet another marauding run from deep to send the many travelling fans into pure joy. Afterthe game,the emotion displayed by all was palpable, arelieffor all involved as it had been many weeks of grindingresult afterresult with their Crinigan Road rivals continually on their tail. On alandmark day for the club, coach Mark Cassar waselated.
Falcons President Tony Salvatore,overcome with emotion, said that “this is such aproud day for our club. To win both the senior mens and womens league title is testament to our great club and all involved. It’s just fantastic”. With the win, it is without doubt that Falcons 2000haveasserted themselvesasbeingthe most dominant side of recent times, with four league title out of the last six rubber-stamping it’s dominance.
CGrade featured avery close game, despite a five-rundeficit in the fifthinning, Traralgon Redsox almost came all the way back, eventually falling 12-11 to Moe/Newborough. Traralgon scored four runs in the failed comeback.
FORTUNA v SALE FORTUNA knew that nothing less than three points would do, with one eye on their rivals, hoping that they would slip up to give them an unlikely first league title in 11 years. It was not to be, but they dismantled the Swans in any case, which is testament to the side that they have become in recenttimes.Sale wasunder strength, but the 9-0 win wasn’t to be expected. Thewin will givethe Orangemen confidence heading into the Battle of Britain Cup where they face East Gippsland on Wednesday night. They will be aiming to win the trophy and many would argue that they are one of the favourites to do so. Last week Fortuna wrapped up the reserve league titleinanunbeaten campaign while Olympians did the same in the 2nd division.

Ryan Glass, Chris Forrester, Kevin White and BenDenton came through with RBIs to lead the rally for the Dodgers, but it just wasn’t enough to come back. Next saw BGrade take the field. Traralgon Redsox watched the game slip away earlyand couldn’t recover in a12-3loss to Moe/ Newborough. Traralgon struggled to put runs on the board and had atough time defensively. Tim Wilson started on the mound for Moe/ Newborough, throwing fourinnings,allowing two runs on four hits,and strikingout five. Lee Donoghue started off pitching for Traralgon, surrendering threerunsontwo hits over three innings, only getting one strike out. Davis Long and Brett Sharp entered the game for three innings and one innings respectively.
“I am simplylostfor words. It has been a tough year and we’ve had to fight tooth-and-nail but credit to the players,they’ve been simply outstanding,” he said.
Falcons fly high and underline dominance
For Ainsworth,who won five senior best-and fairests at Moe and playedinareserves flag, a senior premiershiplooks likethe final itemonthe football bucket list. “The reason Icame overhere to coachwas to win aflag,towin one as aplayeratmyage is something Iprobably wouldn’t think would happen,”hesaid.

“Itwas toughlastyear,but with players coming back that had previously played juniors here, it has just made the group stronger and alot more consistent, it showsinour results,” Ainsworthsaid. The increased depth has allowed Ainsworth to play mostly across halfforward this season,where he has chipped in with 17 goals. Speaking of depth,the Bulldogs’ reserves are also only one win away from agrand final, and will headinto their qualifying match with an unbeaten record. Havingplayedinover10finals serieswithMoe, Ainsworth had some advice for teammates that might be getting anxious. “Just keep doing what you have been doing during the season,” he said. “It’s another game but the pressure steps up abit “If you just do what you’ve been doing to get to this point Ithink it holds you in good stead.”

Newborough enters this Saturday’s qualifyingfinal fresh off atwo-week break. The Bulldogs match against Tarwin startsat 2.20pm at Terrill Park, Fish Creek.
FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND BY LIAM DURKIN PETER Ainsworth played in asenior grand final 22 years ago. He is now just one win away from playing in his next one. Talk about along time coming. Ainsworth’s Newboroughmeet Tarwin this Saturday for aplace in the Mid GippslandFootballNetball League decider. Making the grandfinal would have been amere fantasy after the Bulldogs finished 10th on the ladder last season. Talk about quickly turning things around. Withthe second qualifying finalonly afew days’ away, Ainsworth said the thought of getting back on the big stage was hard to escape. “It has been in the back of my mind,” he said. “Finishing top-two you are always agood chance to make the grand final, you get two cracks at it (with the double chance). “The boys have been playing pretty well. Ithink if we bringour AGamewecan definitely get in.” Ainsworth’slastsenior grandfinal came during his days playingfor Moeinthe Gippsland League. He played 364senior gamesfor the Lions and was only 10 shy of the GippslandLeague record when he departed to takethe senior coachingjob at Newborough in 2020. The Bulldogs battled manfully during two stop-start season’s underAinsworth’scoaching, fielding ateam with an average age of just22, making them quite possibly the youngest senior side in Gippsland. Naturally, wins were scarce for the inexperienced andoften hopelessly undersized Bulldog pups, who also had to fight off externalnoisefrompeople saying they couldn’t recall atimethe traditional Mid Gippsland powerhouse had struggled so badly. What the scoreboard didn’t show however was the growth and development in certain players.
Solid contributions came from Stephen O’Brien, JordanCanovan (14 points each),Ben Barlow(10 points, four steals)and KodyTibballs (nine points, seven rebounds). Jordan Gooiker was also fantastic during the game. Withhis talent and scoring ability, he looks to be akey player in the Grand Final Series. United will play the PakenhamWarriorsfor the Div2 title. The title is decided in aBest of 3Game Series, with the first to be played this Saturday at Cardinia Life Stadium, Pakenham, from 6pm. Game two will be played at GRISS on Saturday, September3 If required, athird game to decide the title will be held on Sunday, September 4atGRISS.
