Zoe McKenzie

Politics peninsula-style Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula is facing possibly the biggest ever change to its political landscape. None of the familiar faces of multiple past elections will be contesting next year’s federal or state polls. Chris Brayne, first-term Labor MP for Nepean, is the only current MP on the peninsula who will be contesting the election. First-up for voters (possibly as early as March) to decide will be the federal seat of Flinders, left vacant by the

retirement of Greg Hunt, who has held it for the Liberal Party for 20 years. The Liberal candidate will not be officially endorsed until early next year, but the frontrunner favoured by Mr Hunt is Zoe McKenzie, a former adviser to former trade minister Andrew Robb, an NBN director and board member of lobby group Committee for Mornington Peninsula. Ms McKenzie says she is “stepping back [from her own business] over the summer” to seek Liberal Party preselection. She has also “ceased” her roles on various boards, including the Committee for Mornington Peninsula.

The Labor Party has endorsed Surbhi Snowball as its candidate for Flinders while Voices of Mornington Peninsula on the weekend announced it would back Claire Boardman and former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Despi O’Connor is standing as an independent. Cr O’Connor, a teacher, announced her decision to stand after being ruled out (from a short list of six) from being backed by the Voices group. To clear the way for campaigning, the group’s choice, Ms Boardman, has resigned as deputy public health commander of the state health and human services department’s infection preven-

tion and control COVID-19 team. Ms Snowball, Labor’s candidate, has a background in small business, including banking and agriculture. While long held by the Liberals – former defence minister Peter Reith “handed the baton” to Mr Hunt two decades ago – Mr Hunt’s margin has been whittled down to 5.6 per cent. Threats to the peninsula’s physical landscape through climate or planning regulation change are likely to figure strongly in candidates’ campaigns. Coincidentally, Mr Hunt’s father Alan Hunt, is credited with being an architect of the green wedge, seen as one of the peninsula’s greatest protec-

tions against over-development. Although the state election is not until November, the Liberal Party has already preselected candidates for the seats of Hastings and Mornington. Perhaps the biggest shock to peninsula political watchers came last week when Chris Crewther was chosen as the Liberal candidate for Mornington over the incumbent, David Morris, who has held the seat since 2006. Mr Crewther was elected to the federal seat of Dunkley in 2016 after the resignation of 20-year incumbent Bruce Billson but lost to Labor’s Peta Murphy in 2019 after one term. Continued Page 13

‘People-power’ ends quarry bid Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SAVE Arthurs Seat supporters are cheering a decision by The Ross Trust to abandon its bid to dig a quarry on the Pioneer site at Dromana. The controversial plan, under which Hillview Quarries would extract stone from a 43 hectare site on the north face of Arthurs Seat, became a rallying point for environmentalists determined to protect one of the last pockets of natural bushland on the Mornington Peninsula. Now, after eight years the battle – first against a tip on the site in 2013, and then the quarry – has been won. “This is a win for people power, it’s a win for the environment, it’s a win for the Victorian community as a whole,” Peninsula Preservation Group president Dr Mark Fancett said. “This was a crazy idea from the start. It was hypocritical for the trust to be the developer of a massive quarry on bushland … [while] being a charity with a mission of protecting biodiversity.” The Ross Trust last week glossed over the back down, announcing it was planning to “explore a rehabilitation option” for the Boundary Road site “consistent with the prescriptive rehabilitation requirements mandated by the Victorian government”. It said it would “no longer seek to re-establish a fully operational quarry” there. Hillview Quarries CEO Paul Nitas said that as part of the environmental

effects statement (EES) process the company would “work alongside the community, stakeholders, and the state to explore how best to rehabilitate” the site for future uses. “The footprint … will change,” he said. “Its landscape, while picturesque, is not all undisturbed natural and native bushland. Rehabilitating it to be safe, stable, and to meet the full legislative requirements for use for generations to come will require substantial work,” Mr Nitas said. Ross Trust chair Jeremy Kirkwood criticised the “heightened negative campaign” by the Save Arthurs Seat group. “The decision … was made because the trust is increasingly concerned that the heightened negative campaign against the proposed quarry was threatening the good work of the trust and the organisations it funds,” he said. “Our work is being undermined by sometimes threatening, dangerous, vitriolic and misleading behaviour. We cannot allow our staff, grantees, and supporters to … be exposed to this. It’s not right and it needs to stop.” Nepean MP Chris Brayne said the decision showed the R E Ross Trust had “listened to the community”. “This has been a long journey for the Dromana, Arthurs Seat and Red Hill communities,” Mr Brayne said. “The Save Arthurs Seat team led by Mark and Michelle Fancett, alongside many other locals, dedicated innumerable hours, resources and a tireless energy to fight this proposal.

“The Mornington Peninsula is special. It must be protected. There has to come a time when we say no to developing the peninsula in an unsustainable way. “In my mind, we are well past that time. We have to protect our peninsula for the long term.” Mr Brayne said results of a poll on his Facebook page was “emphatic”, with 97 per cent of the more than 4000 votes being opposed to the quarry. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the “longrunning and divisive issue … has caused a fair amount of angst in our community”. “Council shared many of the community’s concerns and felt this proposal was out of step with our commitment to protect the environment and steer the peninsula towards a more sustainable future,” he said. “I would like to congratulate the community on its campaign, and I thank [Mr] Brayne and Flinders MP Greg Hunt for their efforts to support the community against this proposal.” Cr Marsh said the shire “looked forward to working with Ross Trust and Hillview Quarries on how best to rehabilitate the site for future use”. Cr David Gill said the “dedicated hard work and grass roots efforts [of quarry opponents] have now paid off”. “They brought others, including initially reticent politicians, on board with their ability to raise the issues and gain community support.”

All aboard for Santa SANTA and Ms Claus, pictured, greeted around 100 children and their families with presents and lots of loud “Ho ho hos” when they arrived at Moorooduc station aboard the heritage train, Saturday 4 December. The passengers, who had made the short trip from Mornington station, enjoyed a sausage sizzle and playtime with their toys before the ride back to

Mornington. “The weather was fine and the Christmas spirit was alive and well,” organiser Ross Kilborn said. Santa’s train trip was organised by the Rotary clubs of Mount Eliza and Mornington in conjunction with the Mornington Information and Support Centre and Mornington Heritage Railway Society.

Flag protocols fly at half-mast

THE Uluru Statement from the Heart unveiled at Morven manor Retirement Village with, from left, Joyce Toth, Moz Lucas, Maureen Donelly, Val Campbell, Wally Sharman. Picture: Lloyd Lobbe

Retirees take heart from call for change RESIDENTS at Morven Manor Retirement Village, Mornington have welcomed the installation of a plaque featuring the Uluru Statement from the Heart. With an average age of 75, the group of residents want to see the kind of changes First Nations people are calling for in the Statement from the Heart. None of the group received education at school about Australia’s past treatment of Aboriginal people. “What happened in the past is shameful,” village resident Joyce Toth, 94, said.

Another resident, Maureen Donelly, said she remembered visiting Mooroopna with her grandfather in the 1950s. “Even as a small child I could see on the faces of the Aboriginal people a terrible sadness,” she said. “Now I understand the reason for the deep grief I sensed as a child.” Three other residents, Wally Sharman, Val Campbell and Moz Lucas have worked with First Nations people. Mr Sharman voiced their concern that many non-Indigenous people did not know what happened when the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people’s

land on the Mornington Peninsula was taken by white settlers, threatening their survival. The plaque features wording from the Uluru Statement from the Heart with detail of Wurundjeri artist Mandy Nicholson’s artwork, Cycle of Knowledge, commissioned by the City of Melbourne in 2000. Ms Donelly said the Uluru Statement from the Heart calls on non-Indigenous Australians to symbolically “walk with” First Nations people for a voice enshrined in the constitution, and for truth-telling and treaty.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are being asked to fly the Aboriginal flag at half-mast on shire buildings on Australia Day next year, 26 January. Cr Sarah Race says the gesture would “recognise our First Nations people and their sorrow on this day [26 January was declared a day of mourning by Aboriginal Australians in 1938]”. Flag protocols set out by the Commonwealth and followed by the shire prevent the Australian national flag being flown at half-mast on Australia Day. However, the shire’s flag rules allow the Aboriginal flag to be flown at half-mast as a sign of mourning after the death of a local Aboriginal elder or significant person within the community. Commonwealth rules state that “where one flag is flown at half-mast, the other flags should also be flown at half-mast as a sign of respect”. Shire officers in the agenda for the public meeting on Tuesday 14 December, said the Aboriginal flag can be flown at half-mast on 26 January but “in doing so will need to retain the national flag at full-mast, contrary to the advice of the Commonwealth flag master”. The officers said a decision to fly the Aboriginal flag at half-mast has “no apparent legal implications”. Background on the agenda to Cr

ONE of the differences at next year’s Australia Day celebrations on the Mornington Peninsula could see the Aboriginal flag flown at half-mast.

Race’s move to lower the Aboriginal flag mentions council’s reconciliation action plan “to walk together with courage to understand, respect, value and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, arts and cultures as part of the intrinsic identity of the Mornington Peninsula for the benefit of the whole community”. No mention is made of the Torres Strait islands flag being flown at halfmast or top of the mast on Australia Day. Keith Platt

Grassfires move so quickly, it’s impossible to outrun them. This summer, significant pasture growth in paddocks and roadsides means that fast-moving grassfires will be a serious risk across Victoria. Rural grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires, and can actually spread even faster, travelling at speeds of up to 25km/h. If you live close to open paddocks or grasslands, you could be at risk and need to be prepared. On high-risk Fire Danger Rated days, the safest option is to leave early.

A YEAR 6 student from Toorak College has finished second in her age group in the BMX Victoria state titles. Julijana Vrapcenjak trains most days, sometimes twice a day. Her mother, Zoe Vrapcenjak, said Julijana’s “hard work, grit and determination” had helped prepare her for the challenges of competitive BMX racing. As well as from her family, she gets a lot of support from her teachers and the wider school community. “Toorak has provided me with the platform and encouragement to pursue my passions, no matter what they may be,” Julijana said. “Not many girls compete in BMX racing so I’m proud to be an example to the other girls at school to follow their dreams.” She is now preparing for this month’s 2021 Auscycling BMX national championships in Queensland.

Parents must pay attention YAWA Aquatic Centre has become the 200th Victorian aquatic centre to join Life Saving Victoria’s Watch Around Water safety campaign. The campaign aims to reinforce the message about the importance of supervising children around water: younger children should be within arm’s reach and those under 10 within sight and under active supervision. The campaign places the onus on parents and guardians and their close attention to their children is a condition of entry to the aquatic centres. Life Saving Victoria marked the occasion with a celebration at Yawa last week. Manager aquatic industry services Alek Olszewski emphasised the importance of the message.

“Active supervision is essential in preventing aquatic-related death or injury by drowning,” he said. “The parent or guardian must remain in close proximity and pay continual attention to the child at all times, and free of distractions, such as answering the phone or leaving the area to go to the bathroom. “It only takes 20 seconds for a child to drown and accidents can occur even with a short lapse in supervision.” Of the 61 drownings in Victoria from July 2020-June 2021, 15 were children. This is 11 more than the five-year annual average and the highest number of drownings in this age group in more than 20 years. It includes eight children under four and seven aged 5-14.

POLITICS

Former mayor makes a run for Flinders Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FORMER Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Despi O’Connor wants to ride the next “big wave” into federal politics with the support of disillusioned voters turning away from the major parties towards independents. That desire has prompted her to throw her hat into the ring to contest the seat of Flinders, being vacated by health and aged care minister Greg Hunt, at the next federal election. Cr O’Connor took leave of absence from council from Wednesday (15 December) and will return her council-supplied mobile phone, computer, home office hardware, iPad and council building access card. Although allowed to continue as a councillor, Cr O’Connor said “in keeping with my desire to give everything 110 per cent, I will take leave to give the campaign my best shot”. She describes herself as a small-l Liberal who saw former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as “very centre” of the political road and voted for him in 2019. “I was peeved with Labor over the Julia Gillard episode and felt that he was a good man,” she said. Cr O’Connor, who served her first council year as mayor, did not agree that being regarded as Liberal-leaning could ease her way into the Flinders seat as an independent, saying she just wanted to “show who I am in the role”. She agreed her experience in lo-

DESPI O’Connor has taken time out from her council duties to contest the yet-to-be declared federal election. Picture: Supplied cal government (she was elected in November 2020) had provided a good stepping stone into national politics. “I have built relationships. Everything I do is because I am well connected; the mayor’s role connected me further,” she said. “Also, I have enjoyed the political side of things, the back-and-forth across the chamber, in doing what I needed to do for the community.” Cr O’Connor said she had “spoken to many people, and many people have approached me” to run – none more surprising than former federal parliamentarian and Sydney Deputy Lord Mayor Dr Karen Phelps. Another is former Liberal Julia Banks, who spurned the endorsement of the Liberal Party in Chisholm to become an independent and then un-

successfully contest the 2019 election in the seat O’Connor hopes to win: Flinders. Cr O’Conner voted for her among nine candidates, with Mr Hunt claiming 46.7 per cent of the vote; the Labor Party’s Josh Sinclair 24.7 per cent; Julia Banks 13.8 per cent; the Greens’ Nathan Lesslie 6.8 per cent, and others with lesser amounts. This time around Ms Banks is the supporter and Cr O’Connor the aspirant. “She called me and said it was time to step up,” Cr O’Connor said. “Word gets around; everyone knows everyone.” Cr O’Connor said women would accelerate the pace of a “necessary change” in federal politics. “There’s a big wave coming and having women at the table is important.”

But getting a seat at that table was not as straightforward for women as men: “You can talk about [earning places on] merit but there’s a structure in place that means women are often left behind … yet we have to value their role in society.” The retirement of Mr Hunt after 20 years in the seat which he leaves with a 5.6 per cent majority had “levelled the playing field”, Cr O’Connor said. The party last week had not selected a candidate to replace him at the poll which could be held from March to May, however Zoe McKenzie, who previously worked for former trade minister Andrew Robb, is tipped to be anointed as the party’s choice. “I’ve heard rumours about who they will select [for Flinders] but I won’t say any names,” Cr O’Connor said. “They could pick a woman [Mr Hunt says a ‘strong’ woman should replace him on the party’s ticket] or they could go for a high profile candidate,” she said, adding she would “like to see the Liberal Party shift”. Cr O’Connor said as an independent she could “hear what the people of the electorate want and take that to Canberra, without having to vote along party lines”. “I have been involved in the community for 15 years; I’ve laid down roots here,” she said. She admits an open show of support from Ms Banks, who she admires, is both heartening and inspirational. “She crossed the floor and sat as an independent; she stood up when it counted. “I have read her book and, through being a councillor, I was able to meet

her. People like her are connected, and she helps me.” Cr O’Connor said Ms Banks had “marginalised the seat and made inroads”, taking Flinders from “safe Liberal” to such a low number that it could swing either way – especially without a high-profile sitting member. She said there were no hard feelings after not being endorsed by Voices of the Mornington Peninsula, despite going through their candidate selection process. “They preferred another candidate [Claire Boardman],” she said, adding that grass roots movements was “encouraging all sorts of people to engage in democracy”. “I suspect there will be candidates from lots of groups,” she said, and hopes to get backing from one or more of them. “There are always four or five people contesting, and having no incumbent means it’s an open field. “People will vote for who they see as best able to represent them. Those with the most engagement in the community will win. “I’ve got to work for it and show that I can do this. “It will be a big job running a campaign. I’ll need at least eight to 12 weeks,” she said, adding that she would be obliged to resign immediately as a councillor if she won the seat. “I felt like change was afoot at the last election and I’m certain there will be a big shift in this one,” she said. “People want Australia on a different trajectory. Like a rising tide we should be lifting all the boats.”

WHEN off-duty firefighter Steve Axup saw a car in a ditch and a woman waving frantically for help in Rosebud last week he immediately did a U-turn and pulled over to help. On the side of Boneo Road, a 50-year-old Cape Schanck woman was unconscious and in cardiac arrest. It was at that moment – 10.30am, Wednesday 8 December – that FRV Officer Axup’s prompt action probably saved her life. Quickly dragging the woman from her car while someone called 000, and after asking a bystander to rush to a nearby Bunnings to get a defibrillator, the fireman began performing CPR which pumped blood to her brain, while pounding on her chest to draw air into her lungs. These actions “basically sustained her life”, he said, until Rosebud fire station crews arrived within four minutes to take over the next stage of the woman’s recovery. They used a defibrillator to administer an electric shock to kick-start her heart so that it began a regular rhythm, re-established a pulse, and she began to come around. Ambulance Victoria paramedics arrived soon after and applied more electric shocks before transporting the woman to Frankston Hospital. The police managed traffic on the busy road. “It was an instinctive emergency medical response which we are trained

QUICK thinking and a knowledge of first aid enabled fireman Steve Axup to save a Cape Schanck woman. to provide,” Officer Axup said later, adding that immediate CPR and the shock from the “defib” were crucial in saving a life. He praised the assistance of members of the public who used a tarpaulin to shelter firemen and their

patient from rain while they used the defibrillator and the person who rushed to Bunnings. The FRV firefighter, who has a holiday house at Blairgowrie, says he could not have come along at a better time: “It was the first time I have had to perform CPR while off-duty and the first time I’ve been able to administer CPR and then help use a defibrillator to save a life,” he said. It turns out that Officer Axup and his “patient”, who has three children and now a pacemaker, have friends in common. “We spoke for an hour on the phone last night and it was quite an emotional conversation,” he said. “I also spoke to her twin sister as well as her mum for another hour. We hope to catch up in the New Year.” Rye Fire Brigade Captain Eddie Matt forwarded an earlier message the woman had put up on her Facebook page: “Yesterday an off-duty firefighter saved my life,” it read. “I was in cardio arrest and he saved me on Boneo Road. “Does anyone know him? I want to thank him for saving my life. Still in hospital and will be for a while. “I am alive because of this wonderful man.” Officer Axup was only too happy to be in the right place at the right time. He is well aware that tragedy was averted by the most favourable of circumstances: a trained firefighter quickly on the scene and a defibrillator in expert hands only minutes away. “It was not her time to go,” he said.

Chopper delivers water safety message DROMANA Primary School students were treated to a visit by the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, Monday 6 December. The bright red and yellow chopper landed on the school oval to give students a chance to meet the crew and learn about staying safe in the water this summer. Principal Andrew Haley said the experience was a “wonderful thrill”. “The students learned about how to avoid getting into danger, stay safe in an

many years to come.” The visit coincided with Water Safety Month which aims to educate beach users and encourage safety around water to lessen the number of drownings. Last summer the helicopter assisted at about 130 incidents and conducted 15 winch rescues. The helicopter, operated by Life Saving Victoria, is a free community service run from November-April each year to assist in search and rescue missions, aerial surveillance and beach patrols.

emergency, and receive vital safety tips and advice from the very people at the forefront of our emergency services,” he said. “They also had the chance to walk around the chopper and see the stateof-the art lifesaving equipment used in emergency situations, such as the rescue winch, specialist crew equipment, and radio and navigation equipment. “It was such a blast having the chopper land at our school and it is a memory that will stay with our students, and staff, for

SOMERS residents fear that people fishing for sharks are endangering swimmers. Baited lines are being carried out to deeper water off the beach by kayaks or dropped from drones. Mornington Peninsula Shire is helpless to stop the practice and the fisheries department says it is not illegal. Cr David Gill said luring sharks towards the swimming beach was a “dangerous practice” that the public needed to know about. “It is of great concern if sharkattracting baiting is occurring off Somers beach. It increases the chances of lives being put in danger,” he said. “Apparently there are no state government rules to control [fishing] this near popular beaches. “We all know that large sharks frequent Western Port, particularly because of seals and penguins around Phillip Island, but they are rarely seen close to our shores. I think we would all prefer that

to continue to be the case.” Somers Residents Association president said concerns had been raised by “a number of residents”. “The Somers Residents Association is opposed to any activity which potentially may cause harm to residents and visitors to our idyllic coastal village,” Mr Millen said. “The placing of baits to attract sharks towards Somers beach is quite obviously a dangerous and thoughtless activity and must be stopped immediately.” “The SRA will be raising this issue with our state MP asking that steps be taken urgently to prevent further occurrences.” In response to an email from a resident, the shire’s coastal planner Hayden Forrest said that although the shark fishing was potentially causing danger to water users the shire’s powers ended at the high water mark. “The shire has recently explored the option of using by-laws to regulate other fishing related matters. This was not able to be progressed as it is the Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) who are the responsible authority for managing fishing related activities.”

POLITICS

Common goal: The Liberal Party’s most mentioned and seemingly most favoured candidate for the federal seat of Flinders is Zoe McKenzie (in crab costume) who has presented herself as a crab in protest at the annual harvesting of moulting spider crabs at Rye pier. Ms McKenzie is flanked by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Cr Sarah Race, then mayor, Cr Despi O’Connor - who will be standing as an independent and potentially opposing Ms McKenzie for Flinders - and Cr Susan Bissinger. Picture: Supplied

Although Ms McKenzie must wait until the new year to find out if she has been preselected by the Liberal Party, she has stood down from several boards and her own company, Trade & Investment Advisory, to concentrate on securing that position. “I have not taken the decision lightly to throw my hat into the political ring, but believe my business, legal and public policy experience, as well as my various community and volunteer related roles, ideally positions me to make a significant contribution on behalf of this beautiful region, and its remarkable people, in our federal parliament,” she wrote on the LinkedIn website.

Peninsula politics Continued from Page 1 Mr Crewther failed to gain his party’s preselection for Dunkley this year (won by criminal lawyer and Australian Survivor guest Sharn Coombes) but defeated Mr Morris in an 80 to 60 vote in his bid to move to the state seat. Labor seems set to choose television fishing show presenter and close associate of the Premier Daniel Andrews, David Kramer, as its Mornington candidate. The Committee for Mornington Peninsula’s executive officer, Briony Hutton, has been preselected as the Liberal candidate for the state seat of Hastings, left vacant by the retiring Liberal MP Neale Burgess. She will be up against Cr Paul Mercurio, choreographer, media personality and foodie. The state and federal elections could also affect the balance of power within Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Cr O’Connor will this week take leave of absence from the council to begin campaigning as an independent for Flinders in the federal election. The focus would then be on her colleague Paul Mercurio, if chosen by Labor in Hastings, to follow her example and also step down from the council. The Liberal Party has yet to select its candidate for the state seat of Nepean, held for Labor by Chris Brayne since 2018. Suggested contenders for the seat held by Liberal Martin Dixon from 1996 until his retirement in 2018 are Elizabeth Woolcock and David Burgess.

No Macca’s at Safety Beach THE long-running battle over plans to establish a McDonald’s outlet at a Safety Beach service station site has been won by its opponents. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last week knocked back a permit application by AA Holdings to include the fast0food outlet at its BP service station, corner Marine Drive and Nepean Highway. The company had sought approval in November 2019 to develop the site as a service station and drive-through restaurant, to remove vegetation, create and alter access to an access road and construct signs and associated works. Mornington Peninsula Shire refused the permit in July last year leading to a seven-day VCAT hearing earlier this year. The VCAT decision upholding the council’s decision was announced last week. Strong local opposition – including about a 1000 written objections – prompted the council to hold an online community information session to “provide the community with more information and to answer your questions”. (“Q&A session eyes fast-food outlet” The News 25/8/20). Small business owners along Nepean Highway feared the fast-food giant would drive them out of business. They said heavy traffic and litter would stifle trade and “change the whole dynamics and landscape” of the area (“No fries with that” The News 14/7/20). “This decision is excellent news for our Safety Beach residents and local businesses,” the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said. “We must strike the right balance with new developments, ensuring we retain amenity and local character while also enabling considered and appropriate development.” Cr Kerri McCafferty said the proposal was “clearly not in keeping with our beautiful seaside town”. Nepean MP Chris Brayne said 84 per cent of the 10,000 people who participated in a poll on his Facebook page earlier this year were against. “Major concerns … were the already substantial traffic volumes at the Marine Drive/ Nepean Highway intersection, the negative impact on long established small businesses in Dromana and the potential for further litter on Safety Beach and the Dromana beaches and surrounding areas.” Stephen Taylor

Rewarding times

Seawinds: Crs Antonella Celi, Debra Mar, Kerri McCafferty A new youth hub at Olympic Park in Rosebud is one step closer with additional funding and concept plans in place. It will provide mental health and wellbeing programs, education and access to pre-employment and vocational training to help our young people become work ready. It is sure to be a huge boost for young people on the southern Peninsula. We’re also excited our heritage listed lighthouse at McCrae is being renovated and restored to its former glory.

Summer vibes

Briars: Cr Steve Holland, Mayor Cr Anthony Marsh, Cr Despi O’Connor Back by popular demand, Main Street, Mornington, between Barkly Street and the Esplanade will be for pedestrians only from 17 December until 1 February. Over summer there will be a flow of outdoor entertainment and exhibitions, giving us that wonderful holiday vibe. Make sure you also check out all the events that are back on, including the Briars market and Mount Martha Carols by Candlelight. Construction works have also begun on the exciting new soccer and athletics pavilion at Civic Reserve.

Festive season thanks

Nepean: Cr Susan Bissinger, Cr Sarah Race We’ve got a big summer ahead as visitors flock to the Peninsula, events are back on and our shops are open for business. Let’s take a moment to enjoy the buzz of it all, while remembering to be patient and understanding when things get busy. To kick things off, our schoolies event last month was a great success, with thousands of school leavers celebrating safely on the Rye foreshore. We wish everyone a happy Christmas and New Year and thank you for your continued feedback and support.

Christmas spirit

Cerberus: Deputy Mayor Cr Lisa Dixon

The holiday season is here and it is wonderful to be spending time with our family and friends and enjoying being out in our community. In the spirit of giving, the Western Port Community Support Centre is holding their annual free Christmas Dinner Group on Christmas Day – registrations open now. Lastly, it’s a great honour for me to be elected Deputy Mayor. I am aware of the trust that has been placed in me and I look forward to supporting our new Mayor in driving projects and meeting the needs of our community.

Following the year we have had, this is the time to thank our many volunteers who do so much for our community. After the recent storm event it was volunteers from the CFA and SES taking personal risks to look after our community. It is volunteers who run our sports clubs and many other organisations, look after our bush and foreshore reserves, save wildlife, work voluntarily at hospitals and schools, raise funds and just get ‘stuck in’.

LAST CHRISTMAS

NINE, 10.20pm

There’s no shortage of festive viewing options this holiday season, but a rom-com this cute could never be on the naughty list. Emilia Clarke (left) plays Kate, a wannabe singer whose various misfortunes have led to a job in a year-round Christmas store. When she meets Tom (Henry Golding, Crazy Rich Asians), a handsome young man who brings out the best in her, things start to look up. The ﬁlm – written by Greg Wise, Bryony Kimmings and Emma Thompson, who also stars – is inspired by the music of George Michael.

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

TEN, 7.30pm

If Christmas schmaltz sends you running for cover, but you don’t mind a bit of tongue-in-cheek kitsch, chat show veteran Graham Norton (above) has your festive feelings covered. As season 29 of his much-loved, celebritystudded chat show draws to a close at Santa Claus’s end of the year, viewers can expect some extra cheer in the form of festive guests and some Christmas baubles. Norton himself is never one to shy away from an OTT outﬁt, so bets are on he’ll be donning something extra special.

Pfizer decision a ‘grim legacy’ for federal government The elephant in the room - the egregious and, verging on insouciant, management of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout - was barely mentioned (“What they said about Greg Hunt” The News 7/12/21). In mid-2020 the world’s major pharmaceutical companies were racing to develop an effective vaccine and most advanced countries were signing contracts with all these companies ensuring that, should any or all of these vaccines be successful, there would be an adequate vaccine supply for their citizens. Australia took a different approach, relying exclusively on AstraZeneca, to be manufactured in Australia, and a vaccine under development in Queensland. This decision was disastrous. The Queensland vaccine failed its clinical trials and AstraZeneca was proven to be the nonpreferred option for the under 60 year olds. Consequently, when the Delta variant hit in mid-2021, Australia was unprepared and totally vulnerable. The consequence was extended hard lockdowns in Victoria and NSW causing economic devastation, financial hardship and emotional trauma for many. If the federal government had taken up Pfizer’s offer to enter supply contract negotiations in mid-2020 the vast majority of these consequences would have been entirely avoidable. The government’s decision to spurn Pfizer’s offer must arguably rank as the greatest failure of government policy since Federation. These decisions were made on Greg Hunt’s watch, and he must accept responsibility for the prominent role, as health minister, he played. This is Greg Hunt’s defining legacy. It is, unfortunately, a grim legacy, but his legacy, nonetheless. Geoff Hilton, Mount Martha

‘Staffer’ disappoints The final paragraphs of the article covering Greg Hunt’s retirement looked to his likely replacement (“Hunt ‘retirement’ tied to election” The News 7/12/21). How disappointing that it is yet another political staffer. How much better would it be to pick a person with real world experiences? Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Let us stand united Australia Day should be a time for us all to unite with pride and love to celebrate the achievements of our nation. It should not be a day of divisiveness and shame. Like all nations, our history reveals errors of the past that have been acknowledged and lessons learnt. Those errors must not be allowed to be a noose around our necks as we strive to enhance our nation for a bright and progressive future. Sadly, history cannot be re-written. In January, our Minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt urged us to “walk together, side by side, as one to reflect and to celebrate all that makes us Australian - indigenous and nonindigenous”. A great thought. We need to recognise that Australia is one of, if not the most, ethnically diverse multicultural nations in the world. Let’s work on unity and togetherness as an inclusive nation and let’s stand up to those who seem intent on polarising and dividing our Australian family. John Renowden, Mount Martha

Sad loss Sorry to hear that former MP for Mornington Robin Cooper had died at the end of November

I WILL BUY: COPPER • BRASS • ALUMINIUM • CAR/TRUCK BATTERIES • STAINLESS STEEL • ELECTRICAL CABLE PAYMENT FOR COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES OF STEEL. BINS SUPPLIED. Terms and conditions apply

(“State memorial for former MP” The News 7/7/21). I shall miss his advice, leadership and goodwill around the Mornington Peninsula and especially on his walks-come-runs through Mount Eliza later in his retirement. I often planned my early morning trips to the post office expressly to catch up with Robin and elicit his point of view or suggestions for improving our community. A generous man with his time, heavily involved with Probus and Rotary just to mention two peninsula groups among the many people whose lives he touched. Always an open door and an attentive pair of ears to listen to whatever a local petitioner had to gain help with. Robin will be sorely missed and my condolences to his family and friends. Ian Morrison, convenor Mount Eliza Community Alliance

Candidate O’Connor Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Despi O’Connor has announced she will stand as an Independent in the federal of Flinders at the next election. After Cr O’Connor’s photograph appeared 16 times in the August edition of Peninsula Wide (a MPSC publication) this is hardly surprising. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Time for change I go to high school in Mornington and, because of my age, I can’t vote, which is why I need [readers] to. In the 1980s, 70 per cent of young people said that they could buy a home, which is now just 28 per cent. Most of my life has been spent under a federal Liberal government and my whole life in the Flinders electorate has been under the Liberal rule. I want to be able to buy a house, I want to be able to afford university, I want to be able to have a family and not worry if I can afford it. I want a strong Medicare, which also protects dental health. Over the past eight years these things have become distant. Flinders gets taken advantage of by Liberal MPs who can just hand the seat over to the next Liberal. Your future, my future, our voices are no longer valued. I recently met with the Labor candidate for Flinders, Surbhi Snowball, and she understood the issues that I, as well as our community, will face. She was someone who could not only understand - but provide - solutions to issues. I want a candidate like her, who doesn’t take our community for granted and will actually represent us because she is us; she isn’t a “politician”, she is a member of the community, with the qualifications and determination to lift our voices to parliament. I ask you all, the past eight years have been good for [Prime Minister] Scott Morrison, but have they been good for you? And for the past 30 years of Liberal rule in Flinders, it’s been pretty good for them. But is Flinders the best it can be? It is time for a change in Flinders, a change a person like Surbhi will bring. Fin Fowler, Mornington

It is interesting (not) that reporting MPs’ voting records has become the subject of complaints to regulators including the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission arguing the internet site They Vote for You is biased and should be stripped of its charitable status. Minatory, ideologically motivated, neoliberal, pseudo-Christian, Faustian extremist government members believe it is distorting their positions on totemic issues from marriage equality to climate change and Indigenous recognition. They are not concerned at all about right wing organisations like the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), Centre for Independent Studies (CIS), and the millions paid to the Menzies Research Centre by the Australian government who, I believe, spread right wing misinformation in their favour. The bottom line is that we don’t really care what our elected representatives think or feel, but we should be concerned about how they vote and, with the dismal voting record of the government, it is no wonder they would like to get rid of this organisation. John Robert Hewson AM, a former Australian politician who served as leader of the Liberal Party from 1990 to 1994 and others have had enough (the truth and integrity project.org.au/). They have joined forces to combat the corruption and damaging inaction of the Morrison

government and will certainly be “chastised” by this minatory ideologically motivated neoliberal pseudo-Christian Faustian extremist government. What we want is public servants representing us, not political servants whose main purpose is to hold on to power no matter what the cost. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Council is not a board I write regarding the new rules that have been introduced to the running of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meetings “New mayor sets new rules” The News 7/7/21). I note the decision was made as “this practice is aligned with better board practice”. Local councils are not boards - they are a tier of government. It seems the current voting bloc of six councillors wants to run our council like a corporate board and not a tier of government. I don’t see state or federal governments talking about running the parliament like a corporate board. This is why state and federal governments have estimates hearings where staff of each department are subject to public hearings where elected politicians ask department officers questions on behalf of the public for the purpose of transparency. This decision was not as stated in the media release from the shire creating better transparency - but in fact creating even less. No doubt this will led to more officer decisions, such as an officer refusal to grant a parking permit to an amputee going by unquestioned by our elected representatives (“Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit” Letters 30/11/21). Members of the voting bloc of six councillors are clearly incompetent if they don’t understand that the local council is not a corporate board. Hopefully, at the next election, they will all become one term councillors but, unfortunately, not before they continue to do considerable damage to local democracy. Alina Hinton-Tooley, Mount Eliza

A Christmas deed A lady driving a dark-coloured car paid my fuel bill at Mount Eliza on 2 December. The service station staff told me she wanted to do a good deed for someone. I am still getting over the shock of this undoubtedly kind and generous act. Thank you, dear lady, I am deeply touched and so appreciative. You deserve a very happy Christmas and I send you my best wishes for a bright new year. Brenda Walker, Mount Martha

Object to fence rules On November 23 Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors approved amendment C269morn to the planning scheme which, among other changes, severely reduces what front fences can be installed in three zones. In residential areas, “maximum fence height along the path interface of 1.5 metres with 25% transparency or 1.8 metres with 50% transparency”. All fences will require a planning permit. Similar controls have also been placed on industrial and town centre (C1 Zone) properties. Hence, fences like palings, Colorbond panels and brushwood will not be able to be installed in those three zones once the amendment becomes law. Throughout the shire, residents have been upgrading their front fences in response to burglary and vandalism. There have been no constraints on fencing. Residents have been able to respond quickly to advice from Victoria Police as to how to discourage criminals. They will now have more expense and delay and not be able to have any privacy at the front of their houses. Creativity and pride in the home will be stifled. I objected unsuccessfully. Councillors felt that most of the shire’s residents approved of the new constraints. I feel that there may be many who are unaware of the new controls. You can still object to the Planning Minister Richard Wynne: richard. wynne@minstaff.vic.gov.au or PO Box 500, East Melbourne VIC 3002. Subject : Planning Amendment C269morn. Ask the minister to leave the situation regarding fencing as it is. Give your reasons. If you weren’t aware of the above amendment, document this. The minister is not expected to approve the new amendment until mid-2022, but don’t leave it that long.

Included within the booklet is a fold-out poster, which invites children to seek inspiration from artworks in the MPRG collection and curate their own gallery exhibition. Looking ahead to January, we have a range of school holiday workshops and activities aimed at young people.

We also have an exciting new project called Mini MP, where we have commissioned Seaford based artist Tinky to create a miniature art trail across the Peninsula. Countering the tradition for public art to be large and highly visible, this project encourages intimate art experiences in unexpected places. More information including a map of where to look out for these tiny sculptures will be coming out in a special MPRG liftout in the MP News in early January, and also available on our website. Our 20% shop sale continues right up to Christmas Eve, and we have some fantastic new items in store We look forward to welcoming you back to the Gallery soon. MPRG Gallery Director Danny Lacy

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The Red Hill Railway extension opened Compiled by Cameron McCullough THEY came from the orchards on the hills and valleys of Mornington Peninsula yesterday to witness the official opening of the railway extension of 10 miles from Bittern to Red Hill. For nearly 40 years these settlers had been struggling for a line, and as the first passenger train steamed into the new station at the foot of the hills they saw the consummation of their hopes. It was a great day for the district. The small town enthusiast is the finest enthusiast of them all, and from Bittern to Red Hill there were 1000 enthusiasts about the possibilities of the railway. They claimed that it would give a great impetus to the fruit-growing industry; that it would open up virgin country for settlers; that it would create another profitable and picturesque tourist resort, and that it would lead to the expansion of the district generally. Invariably the residents confessed that the construction of the line meant a great deal to them. And it seemed that the line meant a great deal to Samuel Tuck also. Samuel Tuck has lived in Red Hill district for 77 years – he was taken there when three weeks old – and he is still a confirmed optimist. Age has not affected his optimism. As he leant against the luxurious ministerial carriage in the blazing sun yesterday he told the story of the days when the State was young and trains were not. His family had secured the grant of a cattle run from the New South Wales Government, and had settled by

Manton’s Creek. Today he still attends to the cattle on 330 acres of the old run with the aid of his brother, who seemed ashamed that he was only 75 years of age. It appeared from their story that the trip to Melbourne in 1860 was not such an easy matter – it took five long, weary days with a team of four bullocks to negotiate the journey from Mt. Martha to the hamlet of Melbourne. Of course, the coaching days had followed, but the brothers expressed a tentative belief that the train will cover the distance far more quickly. It will. There are many other residents who have not lived as long in the district as the Tuck brothers who will benefit by the railway facilities. For a period of years Red Hill had been asleep, and the old settlers were gradually dropping out. Then came the war, and the district began to shake off its lethargy. Now it is being vitalised by the infusion of new blood and the introduction of fresh methods; there is a growing air of virility about the place. In a degree the returned soldier orchardists have been responsible for the change, and Red Hill is now succeeding through the elements of experience and youth. Therefore it was singularly fitting that when the Minister of Railways (Mr. Barnes) performed the ceremony of opening the line by cutting a thin ribbon – which one speaker described as the obstacle which had stood between Red Hill and the world’s markets for so long – that the ends of the ribbon should have been held by

if another extension is made to the railway it is considered that Red Hill will remain the centre of the fertile fruit growing country. But there were visitors yesterday who discovered another side of Red Hill. They wandered about in the shade of the valleys, where the crude tracks lost themselves in fern gullies, gullies of superb beauty, and where the tall gums reached up to the sun. From the top of Calder’s Hill could be seen Westernport, with Phillip and French islands, while on the other side Port Phillip Bay stretched away to the Heads. Down below Main Creek and Manton’s Creek chuckled their way to the sea. It was very beautiful. *** A FAIR, in connection with the Anglican Church, was successfully opened by Mrs Bruce in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston, this afternoon. *** THE Peninsula School Committee’s Association meets at Frankston next Friday night. *** ST Paul’s vestry have presented Mr J.

thereabouts. Today there are more profitable pursuits in Red Hill than hunting kangaroos. The prosperity of the district according to the testimony of residents, is becoming more evident each day. Beside the station, a new coolstore – one of the most modern in the State – has been equipped for the storage of 25,000 cases, and the necessary plant is available to increase the capacity to 50,000 cases when the demand arises. The stores cost £17,000 to build. Although Red Hill was famed formerly for the production of strawberries, the orchardists are now growing apples for export, with berry and soft fruits of all kinds. With transport problems solved by the railway it is stated that onions and potatoes can be grown profitably. The district, according to an experienced orchardist, is ideal for fruit growing, because, situated between Port Phillip Bay and Westernport, it is free from frosts and hot winds and enjoys the most uniform climate in the State. It is estimated that 1000 acres are covered by orchards and that the annual production ranges from 130,000 to 150,000 cases. Apart from the railway, the Country Roads Board has spent £23,000 in road work in the district, and contemplates spending another £11,000 before the work is finished. Three developmental roads leading from Dromana, Shoreham and Bittern running towards Red Hill station are at present being constructed, and even

And as the ribbon was whirled away by the wind the engine made the official journey down an avenue of spectators, who cheered till the hills echoed their rejoicings. The ceremony passed off without serious consequences, despite the efforts of the adventurous youth of Red Hill to investigate an engine in motion at perilously close quarters. It was inevitable that there should be innumerable enthusiastic speeches. Before the picnickers retreated to the hills in the afternoon 25 speeches had been delivered by members of the visiting Parliamentary party, councillors of the Flinders shire and officials of the Red Hill Fruit Growers’ Association. The Minister, who declared that he had listened to a deluge of Parliamentary oratory since entering the Legislative Assembly at 11am on Thursday and leaving it at 8am on Friday, comforted himself with the remark that while sorrow endured for the night joy came in the morning. Nevertheless he confessed that even in his most mad-tempered moments he would not wish his greatest enemy to suffer a similar ordeal. Later, however the visitors were entertained to lunch in the new cool store, where Mr. Everard, M.L.A., who among other things, is a warm advocate of the fruit grown in Evelyn electorate, informed his audience that he had hunted kangaroos and wallabies in Red Hill 40 years ago or

Collapses cost Hastings and Baxter wins thanks to opener Luke Hewitt. Hewitt scored 80 runs, putting his side in the box seat. Just before Luke Hewitt’s wicket fell, Hastings were at 3/120. They lost their next seven wickets for just 11 runs, letting victory slip from their fingers. Hastings ended up defeated by 18 runs. Carrum also had a difficult day chasing Dromana. Carrum fell 37 runs short of their target when they were bowled out for 101. Crib Point scored a good win at home against Carrum Downs, while Frankston YCW got the chocolates against Main Ridge at Peninsula Reserve.

LANGWARRIN picked up a good win last weekend in MPCA Women’s cricket, getting the better of Tootgarook. Tootgarook won the coin toss and elected to bat. They put a total of 99 runs on the board from their 20 overs. Langy’s run chase started well, with openers Kiah Laughlin-Glen and Brittany Partington both putting runs on the scoreboard. Langwarrin hit the winning runs with six overs left to play and seven wickets left to spare. Pines secured a win on Sunday on the road against Rye. Rye struggled at the crease, only managing to put 56 runs on the board during their 20 overs. Pines got off to a shaky start, but a knock of 27 not out from Samantha Ryan got them back on track. Her innings helped Pines wrap up a three wicket win with five overs left to play. Balnarring had a bye.

PROVINCIAL

A MAN of the match performance from Matt Prosser got Langwarrin a win over Baxter last weekend. Langwarrin chose to bat first on their home turf. They only managed to put together a total of 144 before being sent back to the sheds. Prosser opened for Langy and top scored with 37 runs. His work for the day didn’t end there though. Baxter struggled to put runs on the board and never built any momentum. They lost their last 5 wickets for only 18 runs, dooming them to a 41 run loss. Prosser was excellent with the ball. His five wicket haul proved the difference between the two sides. Baden Powell got the better of Old Peninsula on Saturday in a high scoring affair.

Steady hands: Frankston YCW managed a win over Main Ridge. Batting first, YCW scored 122 runs in their 40 overs. Main Ridge, in reply, were all out for 104. Picture: Craig Barrett

After winning the toss, Baden Powell elected to bat first. Thanks in part to an excellent knock of 84 by Rhys Elmi, Baden Powell set their opponents a formidable total of 226 to chase down. Old Peninsula didn’t take defeat lying down. A well taken half century from first drop batter Wade Pelzer put them in contention. Unfortunately for Old Peninsula, some struggles in the middle order cost them dearly. They ended up all out for 206, 21 runs short of victory. Around the grounds, Mt Eliza comfortably defeated Red Hill at Red Hill Recreation Reserve, and Sorrento defeated Long Island by nine wickets at Ballam Park East.

PENINSULA

A BRILLIANT knock of 93 not out from Leigh Lowry wasn’t enough for Somerville to defeat Seaford Tigers on Saturday. Lowry was electric for Somerville, hitting 13 boundaries during his innings. Opener Brenton Alp also contributed, hitting eight boundaries on his way to a good score of 44. Somerville finished their innings at 6/186, giving themselves a good shot at victory. The Tigers’ run chase got off to a great start. They only lost one wicket for 76 runs to get things started. Opener Brayden Roscoe and number four Luke Kranzbuhler were both in fine form. Both batters hit half centuries.

It came down to the wire, but the Tigers were able to wrap up the win in the final over. They had just two wickets left to spare. In other Peninsula division matches Mornington defeated Rosebud by 43 runs, and Heatherhill chased down Moorooduc’s total of 172 with four wickets and one over to spare.

DISTRICT

DELACOMBE Park and Hastings did battle in a tight contest on Saturday. Batting first, Delacombe Park had mixed fortunes at the crease. Opener Ben Walker top scored with 37, while number four batter Joel Malcolm scored 30. Not many others made contributions and Delacombe Park finished their innings at 4/149. Hastings got off to an excellent start

PEARCEDALE’S total of 188 proved enough to defeat Skye last weekend. The two sides faced off at Pearcedale Recreation Reserve. Pearcedale got off to a great start, with their openers combining for a partnership of 65. Number three batter Blake Eklund was a highlight. His half century proved vital for his side. Skye’s run chase didn’t get off to an ideal start. They lost both openers for four and two runs respectively. Number three and five batters Jahanzaib Athar and Sibghat Ullah showed some resistance, but their efforts weren’t quite enough. Both batters were dismissed by Bradley Trotter shortly after reaching their half centuries. Skye was bowled out for 153, 36 runs short of victory. Rye fell short of their target of 146 against Balnarring at RJ Rowley Reserve, being bowled out for 108. Seaford had more luck in their match against Mt Martha, chasing down 113 to win. Tyabb had little trouble defeating Boneo last weekend. Tootgarook also joined the winner’s circle with a wellearned 108 run triumph over Ballam Park.

Yargi’s little star lands metro win HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou SMALL but speedy mare Florescent Star secured Mornington-based trainers Amy and Ash Yargi with their first metropolitan winner for the season. After having a luckless run first-up at Moonee Valley, Florescent Star bounced straight back into the winner’s stall on Saturday when winning at her first look down the Flemington straight (1100m). The gutsy mare sat in behind the speed before gradually building momentum and striking the lead in the final 200m. Despite being short in stature, she showed plenty of fight to hold off the fast-finishing Grahame Begg-trained Vespertine with Anthony and Sam Freedman’s Award Winner finishing half-of-a-length away in third. Co-trainer Ash Yargi said it was great to see the mare bring up another win for the Dream Thoroughbreds all girl’s syndicate.

“They’re pretty excited about it so well done to them,” Yargi said post-race. “She’s very small and she’s got a lot of quirks about her but she’s a tough, honest mare.” A credit to the Yargi stable, Florescent Star has finished outside of the top three just twice in her 10 starts since joining their team. She’s now won four races since breaking her maiden convincingly at Stony Creek earlier this year. Whether she can take the potential next step to Stakes level remains to be seen but Ash Yargi is hopeful as the mare continues to raise the bar each start. “She’s a mare now that’s definitely improved in leaps and bounds,” he said. “Her formlines are great and she’s ran in some nice races, it’s hard to say (if she can progress to Stakes level), she needs to keep improving but she’s heading in the right direction.”

All heart: Amy and Ash Yargi’s Florescent Star digs deep to win her first metropolitan race at Flemington. Picture: Supplied Mornington News

Hine’s high hopes for 2022 SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie JOSH Hine’s nightmare may be over. Fatherhood, football and a positive prognosis are the keys to unlock the door and walk free of the personal hell he has endured for most of 2020 and throughout 2021. There’s a baby on the way (his partner is due in May) and his surgeon has told the 30-year-old that he’ll be able to play soccer again. That news was a godsend for the star Mornington striker who continues to battle a soul-destroying legacy from a road accident when cycling last year. “I’ve had at least five surgeries since then,” Hine said. Initially he suffered a dislocated elbow and minor fractures when knocked off his bike on 27 April. “The first operation didn’t work, the second one got infected, the third was for a washout and clean then I needed a biopsy then another surgery which failed and the infection was still there. “I went back in about six weeks ago to have stitches and ligament and tendons treated then last Wednesday I had to have another washout and have more samples taken for pathology to see if the infection has gone. “I should get the results back within 14 days because it usually takes 10 to 12 days for the infection to grow again if it does start to grow. “I’ve been on antibiotics for months and months now.” Hine’s challenge hasn’t just been physical. “My surgeon is happy for me to play again mainly for my mental health because my whole life has been built around sport. “The last 18 months have been horrendous for me. “Sure, you put on a happy face and we do live in a beautiful place but for me personally it’s been hell. “The surgeon’s told me that I’ll have to be careful though and not be as much of an idiot as I used to be but to be told I can get back into it virtually straight away means the world to me.” Hine loves cycling and had planned to do another triathlon but doesn’t think he’ll be able to combine that and what’s required in preparation while also preparing to spearhead Mornington’s assault on the State 1 championship. “With my arm the way it is I don’t think I could possibly do both.” And he thinks it could be a special

year for the Seagulls. “We’ve put together a good squad again this year. “No-one really has seen just how good the other Josh (Heaton) is yet and I probably had the worst season of my career last season. “I think we all have a point to prove. “People expect us to go out and buy the league but we haven’t gone out and spent money on new players and we’re trying to bring the youth through too. “We don’t worry about what other clubs do and that’s something that’s been bred into us. “We all believe in ourselves and what we’re trying to do.” Hine was despondent when Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson phoned last week with news that Saturday’s friendly against Melbourne City would feature some senior squad players in the A-League giant’s lineup. He had to settle for joining a large group of onlookers at Dallas Brooks Park as the minnows from the peninsula gave a good account of themselves going down 3-0 to the reigning A-League champion. “I was gutted when Adam rang and it was just typical of my luck. “It would have been great to play against them, to judge the standard and to get in the dressing room and chat to the boys about the things you have to look at if you want to be a professional.” Hine knows a bit about professional football standards. He was the youngest player to make his senior debut when he played for hometown club Southport as a 15-year-old and his résumé before coming to Australia in the back half of the 2018 season included spells at Skelmersdale United, Chorley, Warrington Town and Salford City. Life in Melbourne held few surprises for Hine who had spent 10 months here in 2010 playing for Ashwood in another sport he loves, cricket. When he finally arrived at Dallas Brooks (after an immigration depart-

and that’s a pre-season first during their tenure there. In State 5 news Al Baldwin has been appointed as seniors assistant to Chris Sanderson at Mount Martha while Mark Larner, who played for the ressies last season, is taking on the reserves coaching role. Meanwhile Rosebud Heart was left reeling late last week when Football Victoria rejected its application for a return to State League status. Throughout the application and interview process FV is understood to have consistently praised Heart for the quality of its application and the club was already advertising for coaches and players. According to Heart president Anthony Matthews the reasons given for the unexpected outcome were his club’s lack of an established senior side, the gap between its oldest junior group (under-13) and senior football and a lack of women’s and girls’ programs. In other news FV released its competitions calendar last week and the first round of NPL2 and State League matches for 2022 will be held on the third week of March. The first preliminary round of the 2022 FFA Cup will be held on the second week of February.
