Homeless nightmare HOMELESSNESS is a growing concern across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

SalvoCare records show there were 2,200 “unique clients” seeking emergency housing in Frankston in 2012-13 and 600 “repeat clients”. Volunteer organisation Community Support Frankston reports 444 people with no fixed address needed help from the agency last year, up from 292 in 2013.

Christian Youth and Community group Fusion Australia is turning the spotlight on the problem of youth homelessness with a fundraiser that also aims to show people what it means to sleep out in rough conditions.

A ‘Sleep In Your Car’ fundraiser will be held at Mornington Park early next month to raise awareness of youth homelessness. Sponsored participants will give up the comfort of their bed for one night to raise money for Fusion’s work with local youth at risk.

Fundraising and resource manager Stephanie Byrne hopes Frankston and peninsula residents will gain an insight into the troubled lives of those less fortunate.

“We’re encouraging people to give up their bed for a night to help someone else find theirs.”

Former Melburnian of the year, Brendan Nottle of The Salvation Army, will give a keynote address to describe what homelessness on the peninsula looks like, within the wider context of Australia.

The ‘Sleep in your car’ fundraiser will take place from 5.30pm on Friday 7 August at Mornington Park, Schnapper Point Drive, Mornington.

Entry is $5 but is free for participants who choose to sleep out in their car overnight.

See sleepinyourcar.com.au for full details.

Toxic foam killing coast plants Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au TOXIC foam produced in large amounts during strong winds in May killed coastal vegetation at Mt Eliza like it had been sprayed with weedkiller.

The foam is generated when a high tide coincides with a strong westnorthwest wind. It is whipped up by the wind and waves, and blown inland.

The most recent event was during the big blow on 6 May and results of scien-

tific tests just released reveal the foam contained anionic surfactants (used in detergents) and hydrocarbons (mostly found in crude oil and then refined into fuels).

Foam and foam residue samples were collected by Jeff Yugovic of Mt Eliza Coastcare and sent to a laboratory for analysis, paid for by Mt Eliza Association For Environmental Care, one of the region’s oldest conservation groups.

Dr Yugovic, a biologist, told The News that salt spray was known to damage coastal vegetation but not

salt-tolerant plants such as Australian salt-grass, which has been severely affected by foam at Mt Eliza.

“Damage to coastal vegetation caused by surfactants from sewage outfalls deposited in sea spray has been observed in Europe, on trees planted around metropolitan beaches in Australia, and in Victoria at Barwon Heads,” he said.

“The evidence suggests the toxic foam and vegetation dieback is caused by water pollution, in particular surfactants, possibly sourced from the

Western Treatment Plant directly across Port Phillip from Mt Eliza.”

Dr Yugovic said he had noticed dieback at Mt Eliza last June but decided to collect foam in May and get it tested.

“The foam was on the beach and foreshore all day. It’s quiet difficult to collect in windy weather and keep in a bucket.”

He said dieback appeared about a week or two after the foam was blown ashore.

Dr Yugovic said had also seen dieback at Mt Martha many years ago

near Helena and Augusta streets and now realised it may have been caused by toxic foam.

“In very strong wind, the foam is blown well inland, sometimes landing on the coastal tea-tree scrub canopy on the plateau above the coastal bluff, which it also damages,” he said.

“The foam attaches to any surface.

It damages and generally kills foliage like a contact herbicide. In some locations a brown sludge is left by the foam, which dries to become a residue.

Shire under fire as wall goes under hammer Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ARGUMENTS over the dismantling of a timber retaining wall and removal of vegetation along a quiet Mt Martha street has resulted in a family feeling “vilified” by shire officers who are “rude, hostile, incompetent and unwilling to admit their mistakes”.

The 1.7 metre wall was a sticking point between neighbours who claimed it stopped them from using a road reserve in Potts Lane and Grandview Terrace.

Mornington Peninsula Shire last week replaced the wall with a row of bollards, stating it “was inappropriately constructed within the road reserve which is not acceptable to the shire”.

However, property owners Karen Williams and Glenn Shannon say they had a permit to build the wall and are mystified by the shire’s about face.

“We did not make a mistake,” Ms Williams told The News last week.

“The permit states: “Complete existing retaining wall …”.

“We completed that retaining wall in accordance with all the very simple and straight forward verbal and written instructions provided to us.

“Subsequently, the wall has been removed because ‘a retaining wall was inappropriately constructed within the road reserve which is not acceptable to the shire’… so again, we are being vilified and, again, I ask: why did they give us permission to build the wall if it was not acceptable to them?”

Shire infrastructure director Alison Leighton said in a statement to The News: “The property owner requested

shire permission to undertake some works on the road reserve to repair an existing retaining wall, however, extending the retaining wall (and subsequently preventing pedestrian access) was not envisaged when permission was granted.

“The shire made the decision to remove the section of wall that was preventing pedestrian access and will undertake some further minor works to revegetate the area.”

The News does not suggest Ms Leighton, nor any other council officer, was untoward in their dealings with Ms Williams or Mr Shannon.

Last Tuesday council staff tore down the steel and timber fence and planted shrubs to reopen the reserve to walkers.

In the lead up to the wall’s removal the shire received a 50-signature petition demanding the reserve’s reinstatement.

The saga has involved six months of site meetings, letters, emails and phone calls – some heated – between shire staff and the couple, who are adamant their rights have been violated.

“We relied entirely on the outcomes of the meetings and the instructions provided in the written permit to complete the retaining wall within the conditions provided in the permit,” Ms Williams said.

“The height of the completed section of the wall [was] consistent with the height of the existing retaining wall.

The alignment of the completed retaining wall was not changed.

“Why, rather than admitting that they had made a mistake in issuing the permit [to us in the first place] did they … vehemently assign blame to us, when we have done nothing unlawful and, at all times, have acted in good faith?”

Ms Williams said that after receiving a neighbour’s complaint “the shire officer who issued the permit demanded the wall be taken down the day after it was erected”.

“That demand, from our perspective, did not seem to provide any legal basis for the decision and the officer was rude, accusatory and implied that verbal instructions to retain pedestrian access were discussed as being required as part of issuing the permit – which was a complete fabrication,” she said.

“[Later] the council acknowledged the poor client experience we had received, and that being treated as though we had disregarded the law, was inappropriate.”

Ms Williams said statements about the reserve being needed as pedestrian access for fire evacuation, destruction of dense bushland in front of her house without notice, contradictory advice from various departments – including that “the permit you are relying on is irrelevant” – and reiteration of what was “intended” when the permit was issued, only exacerbated her sense of injustice.

“Whilst our legal advice suggests that we have common law rights in this matter (namely a common law right to rely on the permit issued by them through estoppel), the cost of us pursuing this through the court system is prohibitive.

“It is my opinion that the shire is well aware that everyday ratepayers do not have the know-how or finances to fight them on matters such as this, and, as such, they do not feel a need to admit mistakes or consider the client experience.”

She claimed the shire had “offered to distribute a letter within the neighbourhood outlining what has taken place and exonerating us from any wrong-doing”.

Shire spokesman Todd Trimble on Thursday said the shire had “nothing further to add” to Ms Leighton’s statement.

“The mayor [Cr Bev Colomb] is [also] aware of the issue but it is an operational matter and is being dealt with by officers.”

Taking Taffy for a stroll IT’S doctor’s orders, really, that bring Taffy out onto the street on a regular basis.

The 10-year-old small horse had a hoof complaint and, when being looked at by the vet, was also judged to be a bit overweight.

So, regular exercise was seen as being part of the cure.

Taffy, hauling a jinker containing his owner Simone Kelly, have become a regular sight along the Esplanade and side streets in Mt Martha.

“It’s amazing how many people stop to chat, especially parents with little children,” Ms Kelly said.

“He’s very well trained and we’ve had no big frights, although sometimes he’s been a bit scared by rubbish bins and bits of paper blowing in the wind.”

After exercise Taffy goes back to a paddock with a couple of cows and goats, all old friends and companions on the six hectare Woodclyffe property.

Ms Kelly and her daughter Carolyn occupy one of two houses on the property which was bought by her parents in1916.

Taffy, born at Flinders, is popular with Ms Kelly’s grandchildrenwho also have enjoyed times in the jinker which was tailor made for him about eight years ago “when he went off for his training” Keith Platt

Mornington News 21 July 2015

Long-awaited opening of pier on horizon STATE ports minister Luke Donnellan is this week expected to announce the completion date of the $15 million Mornington pier replacement project.

The long-awaited opening of the 75-metre, new outer section is unlikely to match the pomp and circumstance surrounding the opening of the original pier in the late 1850s attended by many of the 2600 residents in the district.

The genesis of a pier at Schnapper Point (as Mornington was called until 1864) occurred in 1856 when a Ports and Harbours Commission looking into the state of piers in the colony of Victoria met prominent citizens of the town in the village’s one and only pub, the Tanti Hotel, a version of which exists today.

Residents wanted the town to be connected to Melbourne by sea as poor roads were often impassable in winter.

Construction of the pier started in 1857 and the commission spent £7000 on it between 1857 and 1861. The original budget was £4380 in 1856.

The modern state government through Parks Victoria has spent about $18.5 million on the pier since 2010.

It has been a long and fraught process that has spanned three governments – the Brumby Labor government, the Baillieu Liberal–Nationals Coalition government, and the Andrews Labor government, which gets to take all the glory.

Labor spent $3.5 million on the middle, 53-metre section of the pier in 2010-11 but did not have the cash for the outer section, which was closed in August 2010 after a series of storms damaged pylons and dislodged top deck planks.

In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of

wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck. About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition” and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable damaged.

Luckily that storm did not arrive.

In May 2012 the Baillieu state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section.

The money was the lion’s share of the government’s $23 million for local port infrastructure upgrades that year with Mornington MP David Morris garnering plaudits for his lobbying efforts.

Work to replace the outer section started in early 2014 and was supposed to be finished in time for Christmas but was delayed due to a combination of bad weather (three big storms) and technical problems including reattaching concrete wave screens using a different, stronger system. Divers were part of the crew attaching each wave screen and could not work during rough weather.

The pier now has wave screens on both sides, designed to protect the harbour from storms that have damaged or destroyed boats anchored in the harbour several times since the 1980s including most recently in April 2008. The harbour remains unprotected from storms coming from the north to northeast quadrant.

More than 250,000 people visit the pier ever year.

Completion of the pier will be followed by renovation of the pier forecourt, which will include re-laying the cobblestone area, services upgrades, and new seats, lights and historical information signs.

This will not restrict public access to the pier.

An independent voice for the community

INDIGENOUS artist Bob Kelly, of Rye, was named Artist of the Year at the annual NAIDOC Ball at Mornington Racecourse on Friday 3 July.

The event heralded the start of NAIDOC Week, a major happening on the Indigenous calendar, with events across the country celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contributions to our way of life.

This year’s theme was: “We all stand on sacred ground – learn, respect and celebrate”.

Djirri Djirri dancers performed traditional dance, accompanied by the didgeridoo, before the crowd of 250.

Among the guests were Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb, Cr Tim Rodgers, shire CEO Carl Cowie and Frankston councillor Darrel Taylor.

Mr Kelly said later that he had been painting and drawing “since I was a kid, before I even started school”.

“The women would be beading and weaving and handing me drawing materials and I took to it very easily,” he said.

“I stopped creating art when I was a teenager after being told my art would get me nowhere. It wasn't until I became a single dad in my 40s that I started my art work again. Now you can't stop me.

“I use various mediums, oil and carving. I make didgeridoos and boomerangs from local gum and tea tree and do limestone and bone carving.”

He also illustrates children’s books and paints on canvas as well as running workshops for schools and business groups.

Mr Kelly received a plaque, framed certificate and $50 voucher. “After all

Call for ‘urgent’ talks over port’s future Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is calling for an “urgent meeting” with the state government over the effects of its plans to lease the Port of Melbourne.

Under the terms of the lease being considered by the government, it will promise not to allow another competitive port to be built for at least 50 years, effectively ending plans for a container port at Hastings.

Instead, the government wants Hastings to be used as a “bulk” port, adding processed brown coal to the existing trade in petroleum products and natural gas.

The call for talks by the shire comes after similar concerns raised by Frankston Council.

However, while Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils try to convince the government not to abandon Hastings, the Shire of Bass is arguing from a different perspective.

Bass, too, is writing to the government, to stress its opposition to expansion of the port at Hastings.

It also plans on making a submission to Infrastructure Victoria (which will investigate options for a new port) outlining the costs to the region’s economy and environment of a container port at Hastings.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said expanding the Port of Hastings “has significant employment and economic benefits for the southeast region of Melbourne”.

The decision to seek urgent talks with the government was adopted with

little discussion at the council’s meeting Monday 15 July under the “urgent business” part of the meeting.

The council’s action comes more than eight months after Labor won government and an election campaign where Labor signalled its preference for the state’s next container port to be built in Port Phillip and not Western Port.

Frankston Council – which had billed itself as the logical commercial hub of an expanded port at Hastings – has already expressed its concerns to the government.

“A long-term lease will effectively kill off the Port of Hastings expansion for the foreseeable future, and that means killing off a major employment boost in our region,” Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Meyer said (“Frankston lobbying for port at Hastings”, The News, 14/7/15).

“In addition, if the Port of Melbourne remains our state’s only major port, further destructive dredging will be necessary at the Port Phillip Heads to cater for larger container ships, potentially having a serious impact on the Mornington Peninsula tourism industry.”

Cr Colomb is also opposed to further dredging in Port Phillip and its impact “on our beaches and coastline, the marine environment and sea life”.

Neither council appears to acknowledge that dredging is required to establish a major port at Hastings in close proximity to wetlands, which Australia has an international obligation to protect.

It has been estimated that a container port at Hastings would require 24 million cubic metres of dredging to pro-

On Friday Cr Colomb said the shire wanted a “green” port in Western Port, “operating to world-best environmental standards”.

“Council has always supported the development of a green port that has no negative impacts on Western Port,” Cr Colomb said.

“We have not been consulted or informed about any alternate possible uses of the port, and any such proposals would need to be thoroughly worked through with council’s and the community’s active involvement.”

Westernport and Peninsula Protection

Council says in its latest newsletter that dust from processing brown coal for export at Hastings could “disrupt [the existing plants of] Esso and BlueScope and the township of Hastings”.

Since coming to power, the Labor government has scaled down the activities of Port of Hastings Development Authority, cutting staff from close to 100 to about 12.

The government has instructed those left at the authority to concentrate on increasing opportunities to use Hastings as a “bulk” port.

This year Western Port is expected to be used by 50 ships involved in the export and import of bulk petroleum and

liquefied natural gas.

While previously reluctant in the absence of a definite plan to comment on the environmental effects of a major port at Hastings, Flinders MP and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt last month joined fellow Liberal state Opposition Leader Matthew Guy in highlighting the damaging effects of blasting Port Phillip Heads to accommodate larger ships.

However, the state government has not suggested blasting to deepen existing shipping channels, and transport experts have repeatedly stated that the world’s largest ships will never be sent to Port Phillip.

Coast plants succumb to effects of toxic foam Continued from Page 1 Dr Yugovic said the sludge is a mixture of clay derived from the land during wave ‘attack’ and substances in the water.

Melbourne Water says its Western Treatment Plant has four outfalls into Port Phillip.

Dr Yugovic said outfalls at Cocoroc (south of Werribee South) and Point Wilson (closer to Geelong), 44 and 49 kilometres from Mt Eliza, could be the culprits.

“The treatment plant is a known source of surfactant, much of it being detergent, but is reportedly below the EPA limit. Some form of concentration on the water surface may be producing the foam.”

He said strong winds from the southwest and north-northwest “do not appear to produce the foam, which is consistent with the treatment plant being the source of the surfactants”.

Dr Yugovic said he had contacted the Environment Protection Authority for comment. “It said there are no standards or safe limits for

surfactants or any substances in foam water and foam residue, as they are rare materials.

Furthermore there are no standards for surfactants in marine water. I was told it was not possible for the EPA to comment on the test results.

“That may be so, but in Western Treatment Plant statistics, the EPA anionic surfactant limit is 0.8 milligram per litre in discharge water according to Melbourne Water but the foam water test result was 7.0 mg/L.” Australian standards allow 0.5 mg/L in drinking water and 1.0 mg/L in water used for other purposes.

The foam is a skin irritant and it is advisable to wear rubber gloves and eye protection when collecting or handling it.

Toxic foam events occur in the colder months when storm surges are more likely due to higher than average sea levels and when cold fronts bringing winds are stronger. Typically one or two events occur each year.

Uber pushes rideshare solution

United against family violence THE Luke Batty Foundation and Mornington Freemasons are joining forces to combat family violence.

Lodge Master Edy Wilfling said the Freemasons had been supporting community groups on the peninsula for 125 years and wanted to raise $125,000 for the Luke Batty Foundation, which was established last year after his tragic death.

“Everyone in Australia was hugely affected by the manner in which Luke was killed and communities from far and wide responded generously by sending his mum, Rosie, hundreds of cards, beautiful flowers, and donations large and small,” he said.

Now, Lodge members have created “Lewis the Bear” to assist in fund raising efforts. “We wanted to develop a symbol that is warm, friendly and that people of all ages can relate to, as well as creating long-term awareness of domestic violence,” Mr Wilfling said.

Support is also coming from View Club, women’s networking groups, and local businesses keen to support the Luke Batty Foundation and raise awareness of family violence.

Mr Wilfling said he had spoken with Ms Batty – Australian of the Year 2015 – and said she was thrilled to have support from Freemasons.

“Through education, advocacy and campaigning, the Luke Batty Foundation will raise community awareness and put pressure on government organisations until family violence is no longer a subject that only happens ‘behind closed doors’ and current statistics are dramatically reduced,” he said.

Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au RIDE-SHARING business Uber has highlighted a lack of public transport options across the Mornington Peninsula in a submission to the state government asking for its controversial uberX service to be legalised.

US based Uber, backed by corporate giants such as Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs, launched its unregulated uberX service across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula late last year (‘Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators’, The News 20/1/15).

Licenced taxi operators and drivers are angry that authorities have failed to stop Uber operating illegally in Victoria although the Taxi Services Commission has charged 11 Uber drivers with allegedly driving “a commercial passenger vehicle” without a licence.

The test case in the Melbourne Magistrates Court has been delayed several times and is expected to resume later this month.

Uber sent a 47-page submission to Transport Minister Jacinta Allan late last week urging the Labor state government to “create a licence class for ridesharing” to licence Uber drivers who list their details for passengers to book paid car journeys via the uberX app for smartphones.

Uber spruiked its ridesharing option as a boon for the peninsula’s economy during the peak summer tourism season.

“The population of the Mornington Peninsula is usually about 154,000 residents but over the summer period can swell to a population size of 250,000,”

Mini controversy: Uber launched its illegal uberX ridesharing service on the Mornington Peninsula in December last year. Picture: Instagram

its submission stated.

“The area is only served by 96 taxis and limited public transport. This makes it difficult to meet the needs of the tourist population.”

Uber said its 50 “partner vehicles on the road” provided rides to more than 20,000 people on the peninsula over the summer months to and from events such as the Portsea Polo.

“The peninsula is held back due to its size and a lack of public transport options,” the submission claimed.

Uber says it can “be an effective last mile for public transport … where public transport is not available or where services are limited”.

A spokesperson for acting Transport Minister Luke Donnellan said the Andrews government has set up a Taxi and Hire Car Ministerial forum to hear submissions from taxi operators and passenger advocacy groups.

A working group is expected to report back to the forum later this month.

“The working group that is looking

at ride-share services reports back to the forum later this month, and we will take into account the information provided there in our detailed consideration of this important issue,” the spokesperson said.

Last month Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy publicly backed Uber’s ridesharing offering and said it should be “a top priority” for the Andrews government to regulate the uberX service.

“It’s not about replacing cabs,” Mr Guy said.

While its uberX service remains unregulated, there are concerns about a lack of public liability insurance should passengers or drivers be injured in a car accident.

Uber stakeholder Google has not waited for ridesharing to be regulated in Australia before advertising Uber’s service. The internet search firm includes Uber trips as a transport option when searching for directions using Google Maps.

Caught on film: A still image of the man police with to speak to about the liquor outlet robbery.

Robbery suspect FRANKSTON detectives have released a still image of a man they would like to talk to over a robbery at Mornington’s Thirsty Camel liquor outlet, 1.40pm, Friday 10 July.

Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, of the Embona Armed Robbery Task Force, said the man was aged 40-45, 175cm tall, medium build and Australian. He was wearing a black hoodie top with white draw strings, dark coloured pants, black beanie and dark wrap-around sunglasses.

The man strode into the outlet at 1000 Nepean Hwy with what is believed to have been a hammer hidden inside his jacket. He demanded the sole attendant, a 20-year-old female, give him cash from the register and threatened to use the hammer on her if his demands were not met.

When she gave him the takings he ran to a white Ford utility with white hardtop canopy, and was about to drive off when challenged by the manager. “The thief then drove at and nudged the manager, who withdrew,” Detective O’Brien said.

He drove off south along Nepean Hwy. Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call Frankston CIU on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

LETTERS Out of the picture I am filled with conflicted feelings while writing this letter. Having just received the latest copy of Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s Flinders Community News and, being quite impressed with the quality of the publication and the account given of his various involvements, one is left with a feeling of productive goodwill.

However, what concerns me greatly is the complete absence of the “big picture” issues, particularly in relation to his being our national Minister for the Environment.

Somewhere in his personal journey, among all the political clamour and debate, he seems to have lost sight of the whole purpose of taking upon himself the responsibilities of being our national environment representative.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr Hunt with his family in our local community but am left feeling angry with him. He is a well-educated man, filled with youth and vigour, yet continues to be under the influence of people and ideas which belong to an age which is history.

Mr Hunt’s children deserve a dad who not only believes in the reality of human induced environmental degradation, but who is using his education to fight this awful phenomenon of global pollution and the neanderthals who would try to deny our complicity.

On page 8 of his newsletter, he seems to suggest that UNESCO has given a big tick of approval for the state of the Great Barrier Reef.

But, and it’s a big but, he should know that this is disingenuous because UNESCO has warned that all is not well; that it will be keeping a watching brief because it has real concerns for the reef and its future health.

“I love renewable energy.” Mr Hunt felt it necessary to make this comment just this week.

Yet his government has, step by step, continued to disassemble the very structures deemed necessary to achieve the best possible outcomes for the renewable energy market.

A highly regarded investment analyst, Kobal Bhavnagri, recently suggested that prospective investors were confused by the Australian government’s ideologically driven agenda. I too am both perplexed and disillusioned by its indefensible position, which is putting at risk the world’s future liveability and hence a healthy world for Mr Hunt’s children and my grandchildren’s future.

Robert Boundy, Mt Martha

Coal before food With destruction of some of Australia's most productive farmland likely as a result of the fast track approval by Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt of the $1.2 billion Shenhua Watermark coal mine in New South Wales - a 35-square-kilometre open pit coal mine - we now have a new economic decision criteria.

Where it was relatively easy to understand the logic of the economic decision relative to “Guns or Butter”, the current “Coal or Food” economic decision is much more puzzling and therefore presents quite a paradox.

We now have economic policies that trade our future to provide food for ourselves for a mineral that is becoming rapidly obsolete (coal).

While this federal government is stifling industries and jobs of the future by cutting support for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, investment in renewable energy around the world has

doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled. Investment is Australia is down 88 per cent.

These new restrictions on renewable energy could well see investment go into negative number in these industries and jobs of the future.

The rest of the world is on a light speed road map of reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and universities and pension funds are divesting themselves from tens of billions of dollars of fossil fuel investments worldwide.

Throughout the developed world many new home loans are with banks that are free of fossil fuel funds and billions of dollars of loans are being refinanced from fossil fuel friendly banks to fossil fuel free banks.

Utility customers are switching in droves from fossil fuel based utilities to fossil fuel free utilities. Get-Up in its values alignment partnership with Powershop has already converted more than 12,000 people in Victoria from fossil fuel utilities and is now just opening its marketing efforts in NSW. This government continues to support an industry (coal) with its imminent death no longer in doubt with subsidies to the tune of $10 billion a year and has now sunk to the level that it is jeopardising our future ability to feed ourselves.

I only despair when in 2035 and there are no coal jobs that we can adapt to eating cheap coal to survive, as there will be a lot of it available and food will be too expensive having to be imported from other countries.

We had better like our coal cold as we will not be able to cook it as the cost of utilities will be out of reach for the average unemployed Australian.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Down and dusted In 2010 I attended an Australia wide gathering of field naturalist members in Chinchilla, Queensland and one of the places visited was a newly completed coal fired power station. We were not permitted to leave the bus but were shown the main features of the complex, including the conveyor belt which brought the coal to the furnaces.

We were told that of the three dairy farms, A, B, and C side by side, the power company purchased A and C but not B. This dairy farmer discovered that his milk was turned down by the purchaser because his milk was contaminated with coal dust. The power company refused to compensate him, nor prevent the coal dust floating on to his farm.

Farmers in NSW near the proposed Shenaua Coal Mine in the Liverpool Plains will, if this proposal goes ahead, face the same problem.

Australia urgently needs a Minister for the Environment, not against it. We also need to insist on a bond from any future such proposal based on the economic value of the land as a food producer for, say a 1000 years. This bond would pay to return the country to its original fertility should the mining company not do so, or goes bankrupt. Naturally, the bond would have to be in trillions of dollars.

this. I find it hard to accept after all this time that nothing has been done, as this incident destroyed my quality of life.

Keith Bartlett, Rosebud South

Truly inspirational All in all I was totally blown away by the people from all over the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne and in fact as far as NSW who attended my book launch in Hastings last month (‘Taking control of life for the better’, The News 2/6/15).

There were well over 100 guests with some spilling out on to the street. Thanks to Natalie Petersen and her staff at Petersens Bookstore.

The event was made possible by creating a safe and supportive space.

The message in my book From Misery to Mastery: Journey to Freedom and Empowerment is a clear one for women experiencing or having experienced adversity such as family violence: they can get out and come out on top.

They do not deserve to be mistreated and our children must be shown it is not the way to live.

People like Rosie Batty and everyone in our community are all just drops in the ocean, but if we all pull together to shine a light on this, we can create a ripple effect and move towards peaceful and respectful communities.

It is my mission, through my book, to be the voice for those women who have lost theirs, to take back the control of their lives again, and to make a stand against this global epidemic.

Ruth Cyster-Stuettgen, Ferntree Gully

Safety on the farm It is a well-known fact that agriculture is a highrisk profession. What is less well known is that farmers are far more likely to die at work than workers in any other industry.

Despite agriculture employing less than three per cent of Victorian workers, 28 per cent of all workplace deaths in the past five years have been on farms.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. A farm is like any other workplace, and farmers have the power to change this story. Effective planning, using the right equipment, operating machinery safely; these are simple, everyday measures that can save lives.

Yet, it is more experienced farmers who are over-represented in farming deaths each year.

Because the great enemy of experience is complacency. And, when it comes to farm safety, complacency can kill.

Machinery, essential to every farm, must be well maintained and used for the right purpose.

Quad bikes need to be operated within their limits. Children and visitors, who are also dying on Victoria’s farms, need to be kept away from work areas.

WorkSafe runs farm safety educational campaigns, attends field days, and conducts on-farm inspections. But the power to reduce the death toll on Victorian farms lies with farmers themselves.

Their families, their employees, and their very lives depend on it.

Clare Amies, CEO Work Safe Victoria

Offer support This year, over three million Australians will experience depression or anxiety or both. Today, seven Australians will die by suicide.

It may be someone in your family, a person you work with or a mate on your footy team.

You may have noticed something is amiss, but you’re not sure if you should say something or mind your business.

Many people don’t know what to say or worry they could make the situation worse by approaching the person. However, reaching out to someone you’re worried about is often the catalyst for that person starting on the road to recovery.

To help people to have what could be a difficult chat, beyondblue has produced a guide on how to Have the Conversation. The guide, which was funded with donations from the Movember Foundation, explains how having a conversation can help people feel less alone and more supported in getting help for anxiety and depression, and what to do if your attempt to have the conversation is met with a bad reaction.

A recent independent evaluation of beyondblue’s Have the Conversation guide found it has been accessed on the website almost 900,000 times, with half of surveyed users going on to have a conversation with someone who they were concerned about or broaching the subject of their own mental health. The evaluation also found the guide positively influenced up to 1.3 million conversations by improving how people engaged their friends and loved ones. If you are struggling a bit but don’t know how to reach out for support, or you’re concerned about someone else, but don’t know what to say, visit www. beyondblue.org.au/conversations You can speak to a mental health professional any time, day or night, by contacting beyondblue’s support service on 1300 22 4636.

Depression and anxiety won’t get better without help and, if left undiagnosed and untreated, these conditions can become disabling or even lead to someone thinking about suicide.

Georgie Harman, CEO beyondblue

Students take up the palm oil challenge MT ELIZA Secondary College students are excited about a visit by Young Australian of the Year Thomas King to launch the 28 day Palm Oil Challenge. They say the oil is used in many everyday products.

Year 7 students Meg Vickerman and friends Jessica Finch, Yazna Boskany and Georgia Branthwaite, are waiting to hear the ambassador of “Say No to Palm Oil” talk about the dangers harvesting the palm is doing to the environment.

“Hundreds of orangutans die from the cutting down of trees for palm oil,” Meg said. “Thomas has contacted us and he will be coming to our school on Monday 27 July. He will be talking for 30-40 minutes.”

The 28-day Palm Oil Challenge is aimed at encouraging people to cut out palm oil from their diets for 28 days. Four categories include fridge, pantry, bathroom and laundry.

This project was formed in the college’s Real Time Learning class held on Tuesdays. The program encourages students to participate in “real world” ventures.

The students want people in the community to join them in the 28-day palm oil challenge.

Divisive freeway servo set to open Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

Call for talks on port’s future Continued from Page 7 In September 2014 Mr Hunt told The News that Bay West “would be the largest dredging and blasting proposal in the last 30 years”.

“There is currently no proposal to assess regarding the Port of Hastings, but if one were put forward, it would have to be assessed by what is likely to be one of Australia’s most comprehensive environmental impact statements under federal law.”

One year before that and weeks before he was made environment minister, Mr Hunt said he believed “the port expansion will be an important boost to Hastings and Western Port in terms of jobs and investment but it must be carried out under strict environmental conditions”.

“Western Port is of huge environmental significance and we have a duty to ensure that any development is carried out sensitively,” he said.

“A consideration of Australia’s international obligations under the Ramsar Convention would be included in the environmental impact studies carried out before any work on the expansion began.

“The planned expansion of the Port of Hastings would have to undergo rigorous environmental assessment at both state and federal levels before any sort of construction work could begin. Both levels of government would have to be satisfied that all potential environmental impacts could be minimised or negated.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors say they want to talk to the state government about

its plans for the future development of the Port of Hastings and a long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne.

They are “strongly opposed to any future deepening or widening of the shipping channels or The Heads in Port Phillip” and do not want to see Hastings “excluded as an option for further expansion as a direct result of” leasing the Port of Melbourne.

“We really need some direction from the state government about their long-term plans, both for Hastings and the Port of Melbourne,” Cr Colomb said.

“If the Port of Melbourne is to be Melbourne’s only port for the next 70 years, it will require significant dredging and deepening of The Heads and [Port Phillip] bay. Council is deeply concerned about the impact that dredging will have on the bay.”

Cr Colomb said it was “important that all stakeholders have an opportunity to have their views heard and their concerns addressed”.

“The bay is a vital part of the peninsula’s environmental, social and economic fabric and we must ensure it is protected and enhanced for future generations.”

Although the Port of Hastings Development Authority is left with just a skeleton staff, Cr Colomb said council wanted the government “to commit to finalising the Port of Hastings studies, building on the work that has already been undertaken”

THE southbound freeway service centre on Peninsula Link at Baxter is scheduled to open on Thursday.

It will end controversy that has lasted more than five years and saw Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors butt heads with the well-connected developer AA Holdings as well as former roads minister Terry Mulder and former planning minister Matthew Guy, who approved an amendment to the shire’s planning scheme to enable the centres to be built and ignored the shire council’s desire to stop commercial buildings in the green wedge.

The southbound servo is a “twin” and its northbound version will likely open in December. The two centres are costing the developer about $30 million including two new lanes on a freeway bridge as well as on and off ramps.

The project is costing AA Holdings more than first anticipated as the freeway builder, the Southern Way consortium and its construction contractor Abigroup, built a four-lane bridge at Baxter even though the service centres were in the original plan. Southern Way was under enormous financial and political pressure to complete the freeway on time and had lost crucial weeks due to wet weather.

State government agency Linking Melbourne Authority kicked off the service centres controversy in mid-2010 when it sought a company to build and operate the twin outlets. LMA managed the construction of Peninsula Link, which started in February 2010 and was finished in January 2013. The service centres were due to open at the

same time as the freeway.

In June 2010, LMA chief executive Ken Mathers said the centres were expected to create up to 400 permanent local jobs and would “give drivers the chance to refresh and overcome the dangerous effects of fatigue”, a claim that was rejected by shire councillors who pointed out that it was less than an hour from Melbourne to the freeway’s end at Rosebud (or just 20 minutes between Rosebud and the northbound service centre).

In its submission to the Peninsula Link environmental effects statement process in December 2008, the shire told LMA it “would continue to discourage the development of service centres within the green wedge zone ... to avoid further impacts on the landscape or agricultural land”.

In late 2011, the council knocked back the proposal, stating the centres would have unacceptable environmental impacts on the Moorooduc flood plain, were too big, and would adversely impact residential neighbours.

AA Holdings appealed the decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in June 2012. The tribunal confirmed the council’s decision and stated key reasons for its refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish.

AA Holdings went back to the drawing board and submitted a scaled-down version with each FSC building reduced from about 3000 square metres to 1600 sqm and fewer retail outlets.

This was the proposal effectively approved by Mr Guy before the council could comment last year. The council had called for an investigation

Cameras stop ‘drive-offs’

into the exit to the freeway from the southbound FSC, which objectors and shire officers said was not long enough for trucks and towing vehicles to attain a safe speed to rejoin the freeway.

The council wanted a path so pedestrians walking to the FSCs were not tempted to cross the freeway. It also wanted “adequate noise protection, control of litter, and security for the directly adjoining landowners”.

Mr Guy said he wrote to the council on 31 August 2013 and received no reply. He approved

the scaled-down version of the FSCs in February 2014, just days before the council discussed the matter at its 24 February meeting.

Mr Guy said the council had had since August to comment and that the scaled-down proposal “had the support of shire officers”. He dealt with the matter under a planning law known as A20 part 5 intervention.

The council said the servos would “adversely impact the economic vitality of other activity centres on the Mornington Peninsula” as the pro-

THE southbound service centre at Baxter has a system to stop so-called petrol drive-offs when people pay for fuel but driving off without paying.

Many service station owners factor the losses into their operations and police are rarely called but AA Holdings has been installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems at its freeway service centres such as at Officer on the Princes Highway.

The system uses both long-range and short-range cameras.

All vehicle number plates are read and checked as they enter the fuel pump forecourt. A warning system alerts staff of known drive-off offenders and stolen number plates before they ever arrive at the pump.

The system is connected to a national database.

Potential drive-offs can see that their number plate is being monitored on a screen, making them think twice about committing an offence.

The system also “catches” people who have failed to pay on a previous occasion or occasions.

ANPR systems have been used by Victoria Police for several years to identify unregistered cars and are being used more than ever now that Victorian vehicles do not have registration stickers on windscreens.

The United Kingdom has had ANPR systems for more than a decade to stop drive-offs but they are also used to automatically stop unregistered and uninsured cars being filled with fuel.

Drivers can only fill their cars with fuel once the camera has captured and logged the vehicle’s number plate.

posed retail part of the servos was “equivalent to the size of a local activity centre [that] would typically serve a population up to 5000 people”.

Last Thursday a spokesman for AA Holdings told The News the southbound centre had three food outlets – McDonald’s, Oporto, and Oliver’s Real Food as well as a Calvino Coffee shop and a 50-square metre tourism information centre, which will be operated by the shire.

“There are fuelling points for 26 cars, three trucks and two for electric vehicles,” he said.

Other features include a toilet for people with disabilities, “truckies’ lounge” with showers and toilets, energy saving lights, tanks for collecting rainwater that will be used for irrigation and flushing toilets, solar panels for hot water, a fuel pump vapour recovery system, and electronic detectors for leaks.

The spokesman said landscaping was still to be completed at the southbound centre as well as a clean up. “The trees are growing at a nursery,” he said.

The result was a capital advertisement, which however shocked the unco guid. *** THE Frankston Red Cross Society notify in our advertising columns that they require old linen, calico, muslin, flannelette etc., in any quantity, and would be obliged if the donors would send or bring same to the depot. Mechanics’ Hall, on Tuesday, next at 8 o’clock. *** A good evenings amusement is assured to those who attend the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday evening next, the occasion being an entertainment given by the Somerville school children under the direction of their teacher (Mr Reed), in aid of the funds of the

Frankston Red Cross Society. *** IN another column, Mr Oscar Bailey announces that he intends to come forward as a candidate for a seat in the Council for the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, and intends to address the electors in the local hall at an early date, on his opinions of Shire matters. *** THE young ladies of the Frankston Methodist Church are inviting the public to a social in the School Room on Wednesday evening next, the proceeds of which are intended to go towards defraying the debt existing on the Church organ. A good programme is being arranged and a pleasant evening’s entertainment is assured. *** OUR readers are reminded of Messrs Brody and Mason’s extensive sale at “Cricklewood,” on Wednesday next, on account of Mr G. Booth, who has leased his farm. Owing to the large number of articles to be disposed of the sale will commence at one o’clock sharp. A full list appears in our advertising column. *** THE following are the results of the football matches played on the Peninsula last Saturday .—Somerville, 13 goals 15 behinds beat Frankston, 5 goals 7 behinds; Hastings, 3 goals 14 behinds beat Tyabb, 3 goals ; Naval Base, 7 goals 7 behinds beat Langwarrin, 7 goals 6 behinds ; Mornington, 18 goals 3 behinds beat Dromana, 5 goals 8 behinds.

*** BY the steamer Kyarra, which arrived from the front early in the week, three of the men who enlisted from Frankston, returned invalided. We refer to Sergeant Malcolm, Private Connall and Private Leo Gabriel, who were attacked with appendicitis, and had to be operated upon. We offer them our sincere sympathy, and trust that they will completely recover before long, and be able to rejoin their comrades in the fighting line, which, we understand they are only too anxious to do. *** NILKA will not, we hear, be a starter in the Australian Steeple chase to be run at Caulfield this month. Nilka was allotted 10st 2lbs in the event, whilst Zephuron (who has been moving very tenderly on the tracks flats) was not entered. Zephuron will be a starter in the Adelaide Grand National Steeplechase in August, a race the chestnut was sent over to Adelaide for last year, but had the misfortune to be kicked by a stable mate before the race, and in consequence did not face the starter. *** WE again call the attention to an advertisement in another column stating that Colonel Marshall, Chief of the Country Fire Brigade will deliver a lecture on the war, at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, on Monday evening next. The lecture will be particularly interesting in that Colonel Marshall has travelled through many of the countries in which the War is being carried on, and so will bring to bear

that personal knowledge which will enhance to a great degree the value of his lecture. The admission is free but a retiring collection will be made in aid of the funds of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society and for the sick and wounded Australian soldiers.

The Frankston Brass Band has kindly consented to play selections during the evening. It is hoped that the public will attend in such numbers as to provide a crowded house for the Colonel to address. *** AUSTRALIA day (30th July), will be celebrated at Mornington Junction by a grand bazaar and sale of gifts, the proceeds to be devoted to the Red Cross and Belgian Fund. The Presbyterian church has been kindly lent for the occasion and the opening ceremony will be at 3pm, by A. Downward, Esq., M.L.A. The committee have been hard at work for some time getting ready for the fray, and have got together useful and ornamental articles, which will be offered to the public at reasonable prices. As the profits are to be devoted to the help of our soldiers and the Belgians, the response, no doubt, will be a liberal one. *** THE Frankston Brass Band is suffering from the prevailing epidemic of enlistment that is prevalent right through Australia, no fewer than 10 of its members having enlisted to help their comrades in upholding the honour of Australia. We regret to have to announce the death of one of their members in the person of Gunner D.

C. Raulke, of the 4th Battery, 2nd Field Artillery, 1st Aust. Imperial Expeditionary Force, who was killed in action on 7th May. The deceased was one of the most valued members of the band, being an expert trombone player, and a general favourite with all. Deep regret was felt at his untimely loss, though it was tempered by the fact that he died in the defence of his country, and sincere sympathy is expressed for his surviving relatives. *** IN Monday’s ‘Argus’ appeared a drawing of a life and death struggle between an Australian (J. J. Munday) and a Turk, on the top of a cliff, at Sari Bair. Munday tried to thrust the Turk over, but the latter clung to him and both went clattering down into the sea.

There the Australian got the better of his man and held him under the water until he was drowned. Jim Munday will be well remembered by our readers, for the past five years he has visited Frankston and played football with the Bull and Bush Camp team, which annually plays a match at Frankston, and at the concert, organized by Mr Jolly, on the evening of the match, Mr Munday delighted the audience with his singing. Mr Munday also played two matches with the Frankston team, when the local team was in the Federal Competition.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

I fought the lawn (and the lawn won)

By Stuart McCullough IT’S on. The battle lines have not so much be drawn as they have sprung up, as one of the oldest rivalries to plague this big old round Earth of ours reignites. Conflict on so vast a scale cannot help but shape the course of human history. There will be casualties, without doubt, but ultimately good will prevail over evil. I speak, of course, of mankind versus nature.

By that I don’t mean some kind of fauna-troubling Bear Grylls-style gastronomic assault. Rather, I’m talking about one man’s heroic battle against his lawn.

I had no idea it would be like this.

For years, I had led a blissfully ignorant existence in apartments where the closest I got to a garden was a bowl of salad. Say what you want about salad, but it doesn’t require major machinery to keep it in check. That all changed when we departed the inner city hipster-haven that is Elwood for Ormond.

When I first saw the lawn in the back yard, I made the fatal mistake of thinking we’d be friends. It never occurred to me that it might rebel.

I’ve never paid much attention to band names: they’re all almost always ridiculous. Cold Chisel, Sex Pistols, The Bonzo Dog Band; each of them makes no sense on their own. For years I had assumed that the name ‘Savage Garden’ was yet another case of a couple of words slapped together without any particular rhyme or reason. A marriage of convenience if you will, not unlike the band itself. But now I know better. In recent weeks I have discovered that there truly is such a thing as a savage garden, and it’s right outside

my lounge room window.

The lawn at our house is kind of like a Tale of Two Cities. The front seems never to change. Like Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, I am beginning to suspect there’s an ageing portrait of our front garden in an attic somewhere.

The grass never seems to grow and it always looks as though it was cut just last week. There was a moment when I began to suspect that it may not be real at all; that we had inadvertently moved into a house that had the astro turf the Brady Bunch rejected as its welcome

mat. But after sending a sample down to the lab, I confirmed its organic providence. It’s real, it’s just exceptionally well behaved; something I tell it on a regular basis to reinforce its good conduct.

However, in a tale of two cities, there is always the matter of the second city.

Just as the front lawn represents London, the back lawn is undoubtedly Parisian, complete with the distinct whiff of revolution in the air. Trying to keep it under control is a task on par with painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge: you finally get to the end and it’s time to start over. It appears to be growing at an incredible rate. I strongly suspect that it’s using some kind of performance enhancing drug and I have started random testing but, to date, it’s managed to evade detection.

It’s often said that something is as dull as watching grass grow, but these people have never sat on our back verandah. Let me put it this way: the front of our place is Bill Bixby, while the back is the Incredible Hulk. You can return from making a cup of tea and feel decidedly shorter; such is the speed at which the grass has grown.

Worse still, the growth is horribly uneven, with pronounced patches of accelerated development that completely betrays where the previous occupants buried the family pets. The entire situation feels mutinous. It’s a state of affairs that cannot be accepted without a fight.

I have mown lawns before. At Tyabb, my father fenced off a vast area and declared that this substantial piece of acreage, the size of which would overshadow several of the smaller

European nations, was the front lawn.

My siblings and I would take turns in mowing this vast area astride a rideon lawnmower. I did some of my best daydreaming as I drove that thing up and down rolling hills, shredding into oblivion any stray tennis ball that’d been left lying idly about. But a rideon lawn mower makes a lot of sense when you’re trying to trim an area the size of Tasmania. It’s harder to justify when the yard is so small, you’d be lucky if you could perform a u-turn.

That’s why we went with something more modest.

Mowing is a task that demands special clothes. In my case, it’s a pair of gumboots, khaki pants and an ostentatious straw hat. It’s makes me look like a Broadway hobo. After pulling the ripcord and one of the muscles in my shoulder, the machine burst into life in a puff of smoke. As I cut a swathe through the lawn, I turned and was confronted by a trail of cut grass.

I had never felt so… masculine. Duty done, I returned the apparatus to the shed only to emerge to find the lawn was, once more, in an unruly state.

Much like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2, it had healed itself. Retreating to the couch, my mood would best be described as ‘forlorn for lawn’. I have always resisted savage garden, both musically and horticulturally. But it was no time for giving up; I vowed to redouble my efforts. For I am the king of the back yard, Lawn of the Rings.

As you are my witnesses, my yard will be perfect. Starting next week.

Weather and motivation permitting, of course. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News 21 July 2015

Music n Arts n Food

COURTNEY BARNETT: ‘EVERYONE IS THE VOICE OF THEIR GENERATION’

By Neil Walker COURTNEY Barnett is so hot right now. The 27-year-old Northcote based singer-songwriter’s debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit has cracked the Billboard Top 20 in the US and soared to the top of alternative album charts all over the world.

No appearances on The Voice Australia or the recently axed Australian Idol shows required.

High-profile US news site Salon described Barnett as “the new Bob Dylan”. High praise indeed. But speaking to the singer-songwriter another 1960s iconic touchstone tangentially springs to mind: The Beatles.

John Lennon when describing Beatles mania said: “We always called it ‘the eye of the hurricane’ – it was calmer right in the middle.”

Barnett sounds calm and relaxed about her newfound success and the glowing reviews and sold-out concerts both here is Australia and the US in the wake of the March release of Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. Speaking to the singer is a little disconcerting. Her speaking voice during our telephone interview is similar to her deadpan half-singing voice.

Barnett’s alt-rock alt-rock pop tinged songs are based on “the stuff around me” and “situations I find myself in”. Songs such as Depreston and Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party are first-person narratives about the minutiae of daily life.

That’s not as boring as it sounds.

A hastily arranged interview with Barnett on the day it takes place makes it hard to shake a paranoid personal first-personal narrative during the chat: ‘What if this at times awkward conversation – no fault of Barnett’s who is friendly and patient - ends up as part of a future song about an interviewer’s dumb questions?’.

Delusional egomania on the interviewer’s part certainly, and thankfully the song title Pedestrian At Best has already been used by Barnett is the lead-off single for the debut album.

Frankly, Barnett is so laid back during our chat, it’s doubtful she even noticed the at times pedestrian at best questions.

An early question about the music played in the young Barnett’s home when growing up falls a little flat.

“My parents didn’t really listen to pop music or the radio or anything like that … they listened to the ABC,” she says.

Although her father did listen to jazz legend Miles Davis.

Talking about her early days on the music scene – Barnett is no overnight success despite her meteoric rise in the past few months – gleans some better background details though.

She was a guitarist in grunge band Rapid Transit who gigged around Melbourne’s less salubrious venues before joining Immigrant Union, a band put together by The Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer.

“Two of the guys that are from that band [Immigrant Union] are my current band members.”

As for her solo career, it all began with some songs released on two EPs called I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris and How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose. The 12 songs were

PAGE 48

Mornington News 21 July 2015

collected onto The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas in late 2013.

The EPs were released on Milk! Records, Barnett’s own record label.

“I just started out when I released my first EP so I could manage the release from home myself. I posted out a few CDs to people who ordered them and it slowly built into a larger thing as more people told their friends about it.”

It’s easy to hear how positive word of mouth spread about Barnett’s music. The likes of History Eraser with its references to The Rolling Stones and The Triffids is nirvana for music geeks and her conversational lyrics make it seem like Barnett is having a friendly chat with the individual listener.

Local references to Melbourne and its suburbs definitely make it easier for Australian listeners to hook in to Barnett’s world view but she says there has been no cultural cringe for the songs to overcome on a wider global stage.

“I think most of the time people just figure stuff out. You either look on a map and see what Phillip Island is or whatever I’m talking about or you just assume it’s some place … it’s like listening to Lou Reed walking down New York streets and stuff, you just kind of figure it out.”

A cheeky suggestion to visit Frankston train station to gather material for a future song about its surrounding mean streets before a planned multi-million-dollar redevelopment is

met with a diplomatic laugh.

Another US comparison thrown Barnett’s way is being dubbed “music’s Lena Dunham” by Billboard magazine, due to similar confessional [word] to the Girls TV series creator and star.

Depreston’s depiction of Barnett struggling to save money to buy a house in the suburbs has been seized upon as representing her generation being locked out of owning a home thanks to soaring property prices.

It’s not a similarity Barnett sees. Dunham has been called “the voice of her generation” after a line in an early episode of Girls saw Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath say “I may be the voice of my generation”.

“Everyone is the voice of their generation,” Barnett says.

“Everyone speaks of what they know. That’s all I do. I sing about what I do, and what I think, and what I know. I don’t know more than anyone else.”

Perhaps not but it hasn’t stopped Barnett becoming that rarest of things - an Australian musician with overseas success. She says the feedback from her peers has been positive and plays down any possibility of a backlash.

“Most of my friends are musicians and we all kind of keep in touch about everything. It’s great. I love seeing my friends’ bands … it’s great seeing people being successful.”

Live performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy

Fallon is not something most Aussie musicians contemplate. Barnett seems unfazed by the big buzz fuss.

“It was great. It’s a bit crazy and surreal doing a big TV thing like that … it was fun. It’s just always a bit wild, you don’t always know what’s happening.

“It’s just a bit mind boggling but yeah, it’s great. I just love that so many people connect with the songs. That’s what it comes down to.”

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind in the eye of the hurricane and Barnett recalls meeting a musical hero in Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy as a personal highlight along the way.

“He’s awesome. A legend.”

Barnett says she hasn’t really mapped out her solo career.

“Everything is just a small step in the next direction. I don’t really have any landmarks … it’s all been great.”

Future ambitions are very low key.

“I dunno… just, um, I dunno, get older, see more things, make more things, travel a bit more, spend some time with my mum and dad, keep being artistic.”

Barnett also dabbles in visual art (“A lot of drawing, starting to paint and photography.”).

“It’s just seeing what it’s all about.”

Who’s to say she won’t find similar success in other artistic fields whether she sits and thinks or just sits?

Tomorrow never knows.

SAMUEL JOHNSON TALKS UP SEX WITH STRANGERS

By Andrea Loiuse Thomas ty happy with where it’s sitting now. I found the American very difficult because Americans use their whole mouth. In Australia, because of all the flies, we’re used to speaking with a closed mouth. Dead set - that’s the reason.

With his Cheshire cat grin and consummate charm, actor, Samuel Johnson has one of Australia’s most recognised film and television faces. He’s equally well known for his dulcet toned voice over work and for setting a world record riding a unicycle around Australia (15, 995 km!) raising money for breast cancer research/awareness through Love Your Sister an organisation he and sister Connie created after her breast cancer diagnosis. In 2009, Johnson co-founded Straightjacket Productions with director Lucy Freeman. Currently they are touring Laura Eason’s Sex With Strangers. Funny, insightful and sexy too, the play stars Johnson and Tottie Goldsmith. It’s about the relationship between a Gen X academic/author and a best-selling Gen Y blogger. I chatted with Johnson before the show comes to Shirley Burke Theatre, Parkdale.

MINT: Other than the live audience, how is stage work different to screen? Do you have a preference?

JOHNSON: It’s two different ways of playing the same game. Nearly any actor would say they prefer acting live. Nothing can really match the adrenaline of having no safety net.

With TV there’s always that next take. To be an actor you have to love stories and there’s something about doing them in the traditional way that can’t be duplicated.

MINT: What it’s like to work in television, could you give an insight into episodic TV?

MINT: Tell us a bit about Sex with Strangers…

Tottie is playing the conservative - an older professor of literature who hasn’t quite audience, were any changes necessary to jumped on the tech wave yet.

JOHNSON: It’s known as high turnover TV. It’s incredibly expensive so any kind of artistic vision you might have will get drowned out by the commercial reality that time is money. The war between commercialism and art is at its fiercest in television. TV is not as fun as being on stage – no contest. It’s really the bonds of the relationships with your workmates that makes it fun.

The work itself is incredibly gruWinter 2015 elling. No glamour there. TV is highly technical too and the days are long.

MINT: Audiences haven’t seen much of you on

stage. What drew you to this project?

JOHNSON: It was really the script and the opportunity to be touring again. I love touring a play. I’m at my happiest as an actor when I’m playing performing arts centres in rural and regional areas because that’s where I feel like I belong. Having said that, I’m not complaining about being on the silver screen because it affords me the opportunity to follow my more creative and philanthropic pursuits. I get the best of both worlds.

MINT: What do you look for when you consider producing a play?

JOHNSON: We look for really good writing - a commercial story that still maintains its artistic integrity. We find so few scripts that manage to find that balance. We do seriously engaging, thought provoking theatre.

MINT: How do you think theatre can attract new audiences in an age when other media and new technology are so dominant?

JOHNSON: It’s our mission to get younger people to the theatre with shows that are engaging, sharp, funny and most importantly really f**king entertaining.

Hillmen out of top bracket NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill has been knocked out of the top five after going down to Rye on Saturday.

The Hillmen were blown away in the third quarter by a much-improved Rye outfit and were never able to recover, going down 16.4 (100) to 11.10 (76).

Red Hill’s place in the top bracket has been snatched by Sorrento, who led all day to beat top of the table Rosebud.

Rye’s three big guns in Nathan Henley, Kris Bardon and Ryan Mullett were superb for the Demons on Saturday, responding to criticism that they, along with some of their teammates, were ‘downhill skiers’.

Henley was judged best afield with 22 possessions and two goals, while Bardon had 26 touches and Mullett had 28.

Whilst Mullett had more touches (38) against Somerville two weeks ago, his efficiency with the pill on Saturday far outweighed his previous effort.

Andrew Dean was outstanding for the Demons too with four goals while Adrian Gileno and Ben Holmes each contributed three majors.

Rye had 56 inside 50 entries to Red Hill’s 40, while they also had plus-10 clearances.

Red Hill’s Harry Larwill booted four goals in the opening half and looked extremely dangerous. He was the Hillmen’s only productive forward and looked as though he would kick a big bag.

However, Rye’s brainstrust placed Adam Kirkwood onto Larwill after half time and he failed to contribute to the scoreboard again.

Michael Dillon, Jake Mitchell and Ben Macguiness were Red Hill’s best players while Nick Bateman and Seamus Thompson worked tirelessly.

Daniel Schwind certainly looked to enjoy his time in the ruck for the Demons, competing very well in the contests and around the ground. With Rhett Sutton looking out of sorts in the reserves, Schwind could be the right option until Sutton is ready.

Sorrento once again flexed its muscles and reminded everyone that it is well and truly in the premiership hunt after defeating Rosebud by 24 points, 16.4 (100) to 11.10 (76).

The Sharks got their noses in front early in the clash and were able to maintain that slight buffer in the first half.

The visitors opened-up the contest in the third quarter, booting 5.1 to 1.3 to blow the margin out to a match winning 31 points.

Leigh Poholke was sensational for the winners with seven goals, while Miles Pitt was also dangerous in attack with four majors.

Leigh Treeby, James Hallahan and Tyrren Head continued their outstanding form and Jamus Campbell played his second strong game in as many outings.

Tom Baker was sensational for the Buds with six goals while Daniel Wilson and Glenn Peterson, two unsung consistent performers at the Buds, were at the top of their game.

Hastings regained some much need-

ed good form on Saturday, restricting Pearcedale to just two goals while having 32 scoring shots themselves.

The Panthers were held goalless after quarter time, despite the outstanding performances from brothers Joel and Mitchell White.

Paul Rogasch dominated for the Blues while Dan Noble and Luke Clark booted five and three goals respectively.

Steve Charalambous returned for the Blues also and dominated.

Crib Point enjoyed a rare win this season, dominating against Dromana to win 11.17 (83) to 3.17 (35).

Dean Warry booted five goals while James Cook and Brad Davidson were in vintage form.

The Tigers were disappointing. The wheels have totally fallen off this side that was playing with enormous grit and spirit at the beginning of the season.

Only Terry Wheeler, Matt Jones and Billy Quigley were named in their best.

Frankston Bombers had 11 goal kickers in their 23.23 (161) to 7.9 (51)

win against Tyabb.

James Orr dominated in the ruck and Tony Fulton had a heap of it while Andrew White and Jake and Scott Foster booted four goals each.

Jackson Cox, Darcy Underwood and Scott Pickersgill were the best of the Yabbies.

Somerville had to work hard to beat a plucky Devon Meadows by 28 points.

It wasn’t until the last quarter that the Eagles were able to shake the opposition, booting four goals to two to win 11.11 (77) to 7.7 (49).

Luke Collie and Justin Allsop were superb for the winners while Billy Rolfe returned to the line-up and dominated.

Glen Michie kicked four goals for the Meadows while Pat Harmes and Jesse Dehey again showed their class.

There’s a lot to get excited about if you’re a Devon Meadows supporter.

Eagles swoop on Pythons to stay in flag race PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt E D I T H VA L E - A S P E N D A L E proved that it cannot be discounted in the race for the Peninsula League premiership after thrashing Pines by 72 points in Saturday.

The Eagles were relentless from the first bounce, opening-up a three goal break at quarter time before smashing seven goals to four in the second quarter to open-up a 36-point break.

The home side was unrelenting in the second half also, booting four goals to one in the third and six goals to two in the last, eventually winning 24.11 (155) to 11.17 (83).

You could sense the week before against Langwarrin that the Eagles were building. Their best is certainly very good.

The Eagles certainly stretched Pines defensively with Mark Meehan booting six goals, Jarrod Garth four and Brad Tagg three.

Garth was sensational and dominated all afternoon, while Mark Mullins had a big role to play once again on Guy Hendry and did the job.

Brett O’Hanlon once again showed he is a class above.

Luke Potts was at his finest for Pines and Will Goosey, son of Simon, booted a goal on debut for the Pythons. Aaron Edwards booted three goals.

On a day where they were celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their 2005 premiership, Langwarrin fought hard to get the win against Bonbeach on Saturday.

There was nothing between the

sides all afternoon, however, the Kangas showed some much-needed grit and determination to boot three goals to two in the last and win 13.9 (87) to 12.7 (79).

Dylan Luxa and Rikki Johnston were brilliant for the Kangas for the second week on the trot while Mitch Cuthbert was extremely good on debut.

The Kangas were also strengthened with Andrew Withers, Ethan Rahilly and Liam Hogan in the team.

Owen Hulett was superb for the Sharks with five goals while Dylan Jones was sensational in the ruck.

Whilst it’s highly unlikely that the Kangaroos can make the finals, it’s still mathematically possible.

Frankston YCW kept Karingal goalless on Saturday, restricting the opposition to just three points whilst ramming home 27.20 (182) itself.

David Bodley booted seven and Anthony Bruhn five goals while Scott Macleod was on fire with three majors.

Hadley Tomamichel and Luke Van Raay were the best of the Bulls, along with Dylan Gregson and Bevan Malloy.

Seaford booted seven goals to Chelsea’s two in the opening quarter which started an onslaught that finished at 19.13 (127) to 10.13 (73).

Aaron Walton was the best player on the ground with six goals for the Tigers while Josh Stokes and Matt Herbert also played outstanding games.

Half way wrap for Nepean and Peninsula leagues PENINSULA LEAGUE

With just six rounds before the end of the MPNFL Nepean Division season, former Devon Meadows coach and radio RPP commentator Brent Clinnick assesses the chances of the six sides still in the premiership hunt.

Here is Clinnick’s views on the clubs looking to claim the 2015 Premiership.

Rosebud FC n Impressive. n Really starting to come together n Loved the balance between attack and defence versus Red Hill n Midfield depth is strong, but just how much impact will the Rob Forest injury have? n Also the Nick Jewell situation, what effect on the group will it have for the remainder of the year?

My tip: Premiers Rye FC n Setting the pace to half way point of season n Bold recruiting in the off-season has been a major positive. n Re-signing Josh Moore also a great move. n Ability to hit scoreboard is a positive, but Rye places a lot of pressure on their forwards to kick a big score, which is a concern. n Defensively a major concern. n Conceding far too many points to the opposition, this will hurt come finals time. n Still a major concern is player development and retention, especially at under 19 level n How sustainable is high priced recruiting? n These two elements are Coach Josh Moore and Rye’s biggest challenge moving forward.

My tip: Preliminary finalist Somerville FC n Up with Rye in terms of best influx of talent during offseason. n Must remain focused and worry about the controllable. n Beaten quality this year but fadeouts have proved costly at times. n Their best is the best going around. Consistently bringing their best is a hurdle. n Maturing more every week, must stay together next year. n Huge upside, must remain united.

My tip: Runners up Hastings FC n Liked what I saw early in the season when beating Rye. n Word out of Hastings is there is a tremendous spark around the place. n Luke Clark is a star, but they get a very even contribution across the board. n Dropped their last two against Rosebud and Sorrento. n Losses against Somerville, Rosebud and Sorrento begs the question…

Can they match it with the best in the comp? n Off field, very well lead by President Phil Stone and his committee. n All club success starts at committee level... “Attitude reflects leadership” My tip: Makes finals but is a first week casualty Red Hill FC n Best is as good as any but worst is really poor. n Must close this gap and find more consistency. n Needs to stop opposition momentum quicker. n Back to back wins against Devon

and Frankston have them back on track after three consecutive losses. n Defensively, fantastic. But unless they kick more goals I can’t see them playing finals footy. n United club off field which is a huge positive.

My tip: Sixth Sorrento FC n When was the last time they lost four games in a Home and Away season? n Best is still clearly good enough pushed Rye and Somerville n Great recent victory against Hastings. n Getting Tapscott, Pitt and ruckman Williams back for the back half of the year is a massive positive. Mattison not far away either. n Will the indifferent start ignite the fire in the second half of the season? n I’m expecting a strong finish by the champs.

My tip: Will finish 4th and advance past Hastings first week of the finals but will be a second week casualty. ***

PENINSULA LEAGUE

THERE are seven rounds left in the MPNFL Peninsula Division season.

In a very tight competition, it appears only the top four sides can win it.

RPP commentator and our very own Toe Punt looks at where the top clubs are at and predicts the final outcome.

Mt Eliza FC 9 wins / 2 losses 16.8 For – Rank 2 9.75 Against – Rank 3 n

Lost two in three weeks to Pines

and YCW. n Heavy reliance on Justin Van Unen n Need to find a way to keep Lockwood deep also n Strength is running backs – Booth, Gill, Lombardozzi, D’Orazio n Been blessed with injury n Need to find a Plan B My Tip: Can’t win the flag Mornington FC 9 wins / 2 losses 15.5 For – Rank 4 9.57 Against – Rank 2 n Lost to Mt Eliza in Round 4 and Bonbeach three weeks ago n Have struggled with injury – no continuity in side n Depth has stood up – teenagers have been getting an opportunity n Hard to score against, despite playing on a small deck n Forward line unsettled n Strong position to make a charge at the right time n Rumours are rife that things are not rosy at the kennel My Tip: Will play in the grand final Pines FC 8 wins / 2 losses / 1 draw 15.6 For – Rank 3 13 Agst – Rank 6 n Losses have come at the hands of Mornington and YCW n Draw against Bonbeach n Good is amongst the best in the competition n Have big weapons in Hendry brothers, Beau & Guy, Potts and Edwards n Game plan that all have brought into and executing most of the time n Need to beat either Mornington

or YCW on the way home to be considered a genuine threat My Tip: goes into second week of finals YCW FC 7 wins / 3 losses 19.15 For – Rank 1 9 Agst – Rank 1 n The yardstick of the competition n Collins, Barry, Eames all back for the second half. Ricky Morris the only one not available from best 22 at this stage. n Great blend of youth and experience. n Good body sizes accross the team n Still best defence and attack in the game, despite the losses. n Hope they have been working on a Plan B also. Almost cost them a premiership. Langwarrin brained them in that shock loss.

My Tip: Premiers Edi-Asp FC 5 wins / 4 losses / 1 draw 15 For – Rank 5 13 Agst – Rank 5 n Hasn’t beaten a side above it.

Drew with Langwarrin after looking gone. n On paper, is better than five wins n Debuting a heap of kids, which is superb for the future. n A-grade talent is good – Garth, O’Hanlon, Clark, Tim & Steve Mannix, Tagg n Future is very, very bright n Deserves to be fifth but won’t progress into the second week My Tip: Loses to Pines in Elimination Final

Mornington News 21 July 2015

LMCT 11147

World premiere for sevenseat Toyota Fortuner TOYOTA has staged the simultaneous global reveal of a new seven-seat family SUV that will arrive in its Australian dealer showrooms towards the end of October.

Known as Fortuner, the new SUV will expand Toyota’s market-leading SUV line-up to six vehicles - joining RAV4, Kluger, FJ Cruiser, LandCruiser Prado and LandCruiser 200 Series.

Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the world premiere, staged simultaneously in Australia and Thailand, heralds a stylish and refined vehicle that is remarkably tough and offers genuine 4WD ability.

“Fortuner’s strength and refinement ensures it is equally at home on the school run as on the toughest off-road trails found in Australia,” Mr Cramb said.

“Fortuner shares the rugged underpinnings of the ‘unbreakable’ HiLux, allowing owners to travel to - and return from - places many other SUVs simply can’t go.

“At the same time, Fortuner’s unique design suits the advanced tastes of modern SUV buyers while being equipped with a comprehensive list of features appreciated by families and business owners.

“Fortuner provides a diesel alternative to the petrol-only Kluger range as the new entry point

for customers looking to purchase a large Toyota diesel SUV.” Toyota sells more SUVs in Australia than any other brand, having delivered more than 50,000 in each of the past three years. No other company has sold 40,000 SUVs in a single year.

Fortuner will be offered in Australia in three grades - GX, GXL and Crusade - all powered

by Toyota’s new 2.8-litre direct-injection fourcylinder turbo-diesel engine that develops up to 450Nm of torque.

A new six-speed manual gearbox includes ‘intelligent’ technology on GXL and Crusade grades to ensure smoother shifting by matching engine speed to transmission speed. A newly developed six-speed automatic transmission is also available.

All variants are fitted with trailer sway control, which is designed to assist if a towed vehicle becomes unsettled by crosswinds, bumpy roads or sharp turns of the steering wheel. Maximum braked towing capacity will be three tonnes for the manual and 2.8 tonnes for the auto.

A part-time 4x4 during day-to-day driving, owners can turn a dial to access Fortuner’s impressive four-wheel-drive ability in high or low range.
