COVID cutbacks to A-Day events Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au COVID has curtailed this week’s (Wednesday 26 January) Australia Day events on the Mornington Peninsula for the second year running. However, a festival atmosphere will be created in main Street, Mornington with live music and “family friendly” events organised by Mornington Chamber of Commerce. The traditional street parade and activities at Mornington Park have again been placed on hold. The regular community-organised

Australia Day events at Rye, Dromana and Rosebud have also been cancelled, although they will go ahead at Mount Eliza, Hastings and Sorrento. The Briars historic property at Mount Martha will host Our Survival Day 2022 – Reconnection, described by Mornington Peninsula Shire as an “Indigenous-led community event providing a safe and culturally empowering space for First Nations people and their allies to gather on 26 January”. A news release issued by the shire and quoting the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh, stated that a “community vision” presented to council in July

last year, “emphasises honour and respect for the peninsula’s Traditional Owners, the Bunurong people, and the importance of safe, accessible, inclusive spaces for all”. Five months later councillors rejected a move to lower the Aboriginal flag to half-mast on Australia Day (“Shire flags changes for A-Day 2023” The News 10/1/22). The “all-inclusive family event” at The Briars runs midday to 6pm and attendees are being urged to “bring a picnic blanket, sit back and listen to live music, or join in on our cultural workshops and activities”. Details and tickets: oursurvivalday.com. The shire says last year’s “reim-

agined” traditional Mornington Park event was “well-received by locals, visitors and businesses”. It says the business chamber’s program for Main Street on Wednesday “will feature mostly local artists and musicians and will help support our arts sector through the pandemic”. “The action will take place along Main Street, which has once again been opened to pedestrians and closed to traffic over summer to enable outdoor dining and help promote the economic recovery of our local food businesses.” “Australia Day is a time to celebrate all that is good about our great coun-

try and reflect on the journey we’ve taken to get where we are today,” Cr Marsh said. “It’s also time to celebrate and honour the Traditional Owners of our land and learn more about our nation’s past so that we can move forward together.” Cr Marsh said the shire’s “overall approach” to Australia Day and the financing of events would be reviewed “and a fresh approach to Australia Day is expected to be in place by 2023”.

Cheers and jeers greet hydrogen ship Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE regular shipment of liquid hydrogen from Hastings has come one step closer to reality with the arrival last Thursday of the purpose built tanker Suiso Frontier. The ship’s arrival coincided with the state government announcing an agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) to support research into storing carbon dioxide (CO2) underground, a key part of the commercial success of commercial hydrogen-from-browncoal production in the Latrobe Valley. However, even if the viability of CCS (carbon capture and storage) research is proved, experts, including the CSIRO, have suggested the cost of making hydrogen through renewable electricity powered electrolysis will be competitive if not equal to brown coal by 2025. The Suiso Frontier’s progress into Western Port was watched from Woolleys Beach, Crib Point by members of environmental groups Save Westernport and Westernport Peninsula Protection Council. The two groups are demanding the release of results of marine pest surveys made under the jetty at BlueScope, where the hydrogen ship has docked. They are also calling for an “environmental bond” from the Kawasaki Heavy Industries-led hydrogen energy supply chain project (HESC) to cover any damage caused by the export trial.

“The use of dirty brown coal in hydrogen production must be scrapped, due to threats from marine pests, dredging and environmentally, economically unsound carbon sequestration, or CCS,” the two groups say. The state and federal governments have each given $50 million towards the trial. Save Westernport, one of the community groups that successfully fought AGL’s proposal for an LNG regasification plant at Crib Point, says its “sights [are now] firmly set on another dangerous, expensive and entirely unnecessary project”. “This $500 million trial is an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars and a total waste by its Japanese partners and investors,” the group’s vice-president

Jane Carnegie said. “The project involves using dirty brown coal, contributed by AGL in the Latrobe Valley, to produce dirty brown hydrogen, requiring huge amounts of energy and water that could be used for many other purposes, to produce small volumes of hydrogen, and huge quantities of CO2, carbon monoxide, methane and a cocktail of toxic greenhouse gas emissions and waste coal product. “While the HESC consortium refers to this as ‘a clean energy project’ there is absolutely nothing green about the process or its product, and no amount of spin will change this fact.” Ms Carnegie said that no largescale, cost effective CCS project “has ever succeeded anywhere globally,

despite billions of dollars invested by the fossil fuels industry”. “The alternative that so many companies and governments are turning to is green hydrogen from H2O, using sustainably produced energy. This is the future - it’s what global hydrogen markets demand.” Save Westernport secretary Julia Stockigt said the project had been classified an “essential service for Victoria” ... to “avoid the scrutiny - and public engagement - of an environment effects statement”. “Western Port is an internationally recognised Ramsar wetland. Its unique marine biodiversity must be protected from inappropriate industrial and development proposals by decision makers and communities

alike … We will continue to fight this unnecessary project every step of the way.” Resources Minister Jaala Pulford said the JOGMEC agreement “will not only reduce the state’s expected total expenditure on CarbonNet, but also strengthen relationships between Victoria and Japan”. “The CarbonNet project will underpin commercial hydrogen production by storing carbon dioxide (CO2) underground, reducing this greenhouse gas in our atmosphere,” she said. “It is the most technically advanced carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub being developed in Australia and stands apart for its potential to capture emissions from multiple sites.”

Rage over govt inaction on speeding cars Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

MORNINGTON Botanical Rose Garden’s co-founder Laurie Taylor is thanked for his volunteer efforts by Cr Despi O’Connor, on behalf of mayor Anthony Marsh. Picture: Supplied

Civic praise for rose gardener CO-FOUNDER of the Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens, Laurie Taylor, has been commended by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh for his contribution to the gardens and the thousands of hours he has given over the past 20 years. With the rose garden committee and volunteers in attendance, Cr Despi O’Connor stepped in for Cr Marsh to present Laurie Taylor with his mayoral commendation, at the Christmas function held at the garden on 14 December. Guests heard about Mr Taylor’s 20-year journey with co-founder Don Gordon, whose tireless contribution has enabled the garden to grow to

more than 100 garden beds, 4000 varieties of roses and more than 80 volunteers currently. Cr O’Connor said the council and the community appreciated his dedication to the muchloved community asset. On the same night, Scott and Gabrielle Gordon, the late Don Gordon’s son and daughterin-law, were awarded a special award by the volunteers of the garden in recognition of their 20 years of service to the garden. Anyone who would like to become a volunteer at the garden should phone 0459 032 497 or email morningtonroses@gmail.com

THE state government says it will take a ‘’strategic’’ and ‘’evidence-based approach’’ to tackle speeding issues on Mornington Peninsula roads. The Transport Department’s “plan” was outlined following calls to lower speed limits on Frankston-Flinders Road and improve safety in accident hot spots. Works are now underway to reduce the speed limit from 60kph to 50kph along a section of Frankston-Flinders Road between Hurley Court and Station Street, near Stumpy Gully Road. However, despite repeated requests from resident groups and Mornington Peninsula Shire, Cr David Gill said there were no plans for further interventions along the busy road. A Department of Transport spokesperson said it considered a range of factors when determining speed limits and intersections, such as traffic volume, the road environment, types of road users and crash history to ensure set limits are appropriate. There were no recorded crashes between July 2016 and January 2022 at the intersections of Merricks Beach and Stumpy Gully roads with Frankston-Flinders Road, but the “lack of action” has upset Balnarring Beach and Merricks residents. Stephen Grover said Balnarring Beach and Merricks Beach communities were ‘’extremely disappointed’’ at the lack of action by VicRoads, the state government and the shire. He said there was an urgent need for action or at least a temporary reduction in the speed limit from 100kph to 80kph.

“In my view, to take no action prior to the Christmas holiday break, is negligent,” he said. “The community have logged an urgent request to clear bush and small trees that obstruct the view to the right while exiting Merricks beach Road. We request that both these issues are resolved today.” Cr Gill said he was continuing to lobby the state government on speed reduction issues on the peninsula, but that council had its hands tied, as speed limits were set by the government. He accused politicians of avoiding voter backlash and sitting on their hands ‘’because they believe it is not popular to reduce speeds, even when the community is affected by their poor upkeep of roads’’. “Our rural roads are the most dangerous in the state, and speed reduction is necessary at least while the slow process of road improvements is happening,” he said. “Three hundred and thirty kilometres of rural dirt roads are de facto 100kph on the peninsula. Some of these cross well-constructed made roads, creating obvious issues. “Many of the roads are high-use roads, especially in holiday seasons, and I have been pushing for years to no avail to have limits reduced in these high-risk areas. “A recent breakthrough was all of Boneo Road being reduced to 80 from 100 and below at some spots, but the aim is to have other rural roads also reduced, such as Frankston-Flinders and Mornington-Flinders roads.” The Department of Transport spokesperson said it was ‘’always exploring ways to make our network safer, including along FrankstonFlinders Road’’.

Candidate withdraws due to Omicron effect Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Voices of Mornington Peninsula group is again searching for a candidate to contest the seat of Flinders in the coming federal election. Outdoor meetings will be held this week in Balnarring, Dromana and Rye to replace Claire Boardman who has resigned as the group’s chosen candidate. Ms Boardman said that staying in her job as the state government’s deputy public health commander for COVID was “the strongest contribution I can make to community”. Her choice to stand down as the VMP candidate leaves three formal candidates for

Flinders: the Liberal Party’s Zoe McKenzie, Labor’s Surbhi Snowball and independent Despi O’Connor. Ms O’Connor has taken leave of absence from her role as a Briars Ward councillor to contest the election which is now expected to be held in May. Along with another former councillor and mayor, Sam Hearn, Ms O’Connor was one of the final three candidates considered by the VMP. She was criticised by some of the group’s members for announcing she would be an independent candidate before it publicly announced its backing for Ms Boardman. Mr Hunt made it known that he favoured Ms McKenzie to replace him in the seat he has held for a record 20 years.

Ms McKenzie is a former adviser to former trade minister Andrew Robb, an NBN director and former board member of lobby group Committee for Mornington Peninsula. The VMP board last week said it was disappointed to announce that Ms Boardman had decided not to stand. “With the rising Omicron numbers, and the pressure this is having on our public hospital system, Claire believes her strongest contribution is to continue in her current role,” the board stated. “While this isn’t the start to 2022 that we were expecting, let’s use it as an opportunity to get together and re-group. “Over the next week, we will host a series of outdoor meetings for VMP members in Balnar-

ring, Dromana and Rye.” Ms Boardman said her decision “comes with huge disappointment. My commitment to community hasn’t changed but the circumstances around my candidacy have. “Given this, I believe I can better support the community in the Victorian Department of Health, working with all three levels of government to help Australians through these very fragile times. “I value the importance of moving away from the old party system to elect a truly independent community representative. I believe in the value of the Voices process, empowering the community to choose the candidate they believe will best represent their issues.”

Farmers plough in potential profits Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au FARMERS forced to destroy thousands of dollars of crops because of labour shortages are warning that prices will rise as vegetable growers rethink their business models and scale down. In a scene familiar in agricultural regions across the state, Mornington Peninsula farmers are ploughing crops into the ground because they can’t get enough seasonal workers to harvest them. In Rosebud, fifth generation vegetable farmer John Cochrane was devastated last week after watching $50,000 of broccoli get chopped up and buried. Because of isolation requirements, only a handful of his seasonal workers were available for harvesting after 13 were impacted by COVID. Although he says he’s “one of the lucky ones” who will survive, he says others may not and those who do will simply grow less. “Farmers have taken a massive hit in the past two years, for some farms it’s not having enough staff because of travel bans, and for those who have the staff, it’s COVID,” he said. “This is going to change the way we do things I think, we have to get smart by cutting orders back and growing what we can manage but, ultimately, that will come at a cost to the consumer.”

TYABB farmer Sam Taranto, right, has not yet been forced to destroy crops but his productivity is being affected by labour problems. However, the situation is not the same for Rosebud farmer John Conchrane who has been ploughing ready-to-harvest crops back into the soil because he has been so badly hit by the inability to engage seasonal workers. Pictures: Gary Sissons (right) and Yanni (above) Mr Cochrane farms around 130 hectares over two properties, but says he is planning to cut his production in half and stick to supplying a smaller selection of loyal customers. “We can’t go on like this because there’s a huge cost for us to plant things, it’s heartbreaking … if and when the times comes, we will reassess.” Sam Taranto’s farm at Tyabb has also been hit hard by labor shortages, but

while he hasn’t had to destroy crops, he says it’s only a matter of time. “It’s not too bad here, we’ve put some plans in place so our losses wouldn’t be so bad, but I can feel it, our turn will come,” he said. “With immigration restrictions and no backpackers here, everyone is being hurt by labour shortages.” Third generation farmer Paul Gazzola says he doesn’t even want to calculate the dollar loss of losing up to

20 per cent of his staff “on any given day” because of COVID-19. “I try not to think about the cost at this stage, that’s just in the ‘too hard basket’,” he said. “We were already short because of immigration restrictions, and then Omicron hit - it’s not as if you can just replace them,” he said. Supermarkets are already finding it difficult to fill shelves because of shortages compounded by COVID-

related shortages along the distribution chains, and industry leaders are begging for intervention. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas has laid the blame on her federal counterparts. “The agriculture visa is a responsibility of the Commonwealth government. No farm workers have arrived in Victoria through this visa, which is extremely disappointing,” she said. “The federal government and [Agriculture] Minister [David] Littleproud must take responsibility for this and deliver real solutions for our farmers.” In response to growing concerns, on Wednesday the federal government announced incentives to student and working holiday maker visa holders to return to Australia as soon as possible. These temporary measures include refunds for visa application charges, removing limits on work hours, and relaxing six-month work limitations. Victorian Farmers federation president Emma Germano called the changes “tweaks” that will do nothing to ease the current shortages. “These are slight tweaks, too little too late,” she said. “Victorian farmers are already in the swing of harvest and these things should have been much earlier.” For farmers like John Cochrane who are watching vegetables rot in the ground, governments have left it too late to listen. “None of this will move things quick enough to change the situation right now,” he said.

50th Mornington Art Show

Pictures: Yanni

The art of looking ATTENDANCE numbers were down at last Thursday’s opening of the 50th Mornington Art Show, but sales have kept pace with past years. The numbers were restricted because of COVID protocols but a “warm, balmy evening with gentle jazz music, cool refreshments and quality finger food helped provide a warm, friendly atmosphere for those sponsors, artists and guests” who did come along, organiser John Renowden said. He said the natural light in the new studio and community house building at the corner of Nepean Highway and Wilsons Road, Mornington was ideal for displaying “the quality art work for all to enjoy”.

The annual art show is organised by Mornington Rotary Club and ends tomorrow, Australia Day, Wednesday 26 January. “Sales [on opening night] were strong and quite similar to previous years,” Mr Renowden said. “Many in attendance complimented the Mornington Rotary Club on the quality or the art show and its creative presentation throughout several rooms.” “It is a really good, high quality art show that’s worth a visit until our final day on Australia Day,” art show chair Richard Vautier said. Works can be inspected at bought at the exhibition or online at: morningtonartshow.com.au

Code brown for peninsula PENINSULA Health has enacted its own code brown in line with the state government’s emergency alert to relieve pressure on the hospital system. From Wednesday January 19, Peninsula Health has been able to redeploy workers to areas of greatest need, postpone leave to boost staffing numbers and redistribute resources to ensure critical patients are prioritised. It can also call on Australian Defence Force personnel for help and to drive ambulances. Peninsula Health’s acting executive director medical services, Dr Chris Bowen, said the organisation was managing the pressure on its health system, but was asking the community to keep COVID-safe as that would make a “significant” difference to the hospital system. “We strongly encourage everyone to wear masks, practice good hand hygiene, and get

your booster vaccination as soon as you are eligible,” he said. “If you had your second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine more than three months ago, you can now get your booster vaccination to protect yourself and our community. Our vaccination clinic at Frankston is open for bookings, including for children aged five to 11. “We have plenty of appointments available for children in this age group, who are now eligible for their vaccination. “People can book an appointment for children online at coronavirus.vic.gov.au/book-yourvaccine-appointment or by phoning Coronavirus Victoria on 1800 625 389. There is no need for adults to make an appointment. Dr Bowen said the hospital had strategies in place to manage the demand, which he described as “stable”. Liz Bell

Call for volunteers to help ‘save’ kangaroos Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au VOLUNTEERS are being sought to help ensure the safe transfer of about 600 kangaroos from a private property at Cape Schanck into the neighbouring Greens Bush section of Mornington Peninsula National Park. Campaigners to save the kangaroos have praised the property’s manager for relinquishing the permit he had been given to shoot the kangaroos. “The hard work … has paid off and the newly formed Save the Kangaroos of the Mornington Peninsula (SKOMP) thoroughly welcome the recent development of the manager of the Cape Schanck property deciding on 13 January to withdraw the kangaroo shooting permit,” group spokesperson Mary Waterman said. “I believe that our advocacy along with community pressure influenced the manager in his decision.” Ms Waterman also praised Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, “particularly David Gill who brought the dire situation of the peninsula’s kangaroos to the council’s notice in 2020” and shire CEO John Baker “for advocating for the Cape Schanck kangaroos not to be shot and to be released … with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning”. However, “the fight is not over yet”

and volunteers were needed to help release the kangaroos. She said Mr Baker confirmed on Friday 14 January “that he will ensure that the SKOMP group and volunteers are involved in the Cape Schanck kangaroo release plan process”. Ms Waterman said the group believed kangaroos “could be a huge tourist drawcard” for the peninsula. “We want to bring kangaroos into the hearts of the people. Kangaroos are the most beautiful, intelligent and extremely family orientated native animal that we should be extremely proud of. “We only have to look at how the [Phillip Island] penguin parade is now a huge international tourist attraction for Victoria.” While welcoming a review of the Wildlife Act 1975 announced in May 2020 by Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio, Ms Waterman hoped the independent panel would investigate “the continuing pressures our local kangaroo population faces due to DELWP issuing shooting permits without necessarily doing the checks before and after [they] are issued”. The group believed shooting permits would continue to be issued “because some landowners (and DELWP) believe our native kangaroos are pests and are in plague proportions”. “It is baffling to understand that kangaroos are protected under the

Wildlife Act until a shooting permit (ATCW) is applied for. This seems to be a contradiction in itself.” Cr Gill also welcomed the review announced by Ms D’Ambrosio, saying “we need accurate population figures and enforceable powers over habitat retention and control of pest species”. “Any review should ensure mechanisms are in place for sustainable sources of private and public finance for programs to ensure the long term viability of our precious wildlife.” Cr Gill wants Nepean MP Chris Brayne to make sure action was taken to ensure the survival of kangaroos on the peninsula. He said DELWP “grossly overestimates” the number of kangaroos on the peninsula because it relied on aerial counts of kangaroos in Gippsland. “The kangaroo food industry has decimated kangaroo numbers in New South Wales, leading to a parliamentary inquiry,” Cr Gill said. “Now the industry has moved into Victoria with the blessing of the state government. Once established, the industry requires a constant supply of kangaroos and threatens the viability of kangaroos in Australia and now Victoria.” Cr Gill predicted that “the more concisely contained kangaroos on the peninsula will be a prime target”.

Choose Vietnamese for delicious plant-based dining VEGANISM and vegetarianism in Vietnam are linked to the arrival of Buddhism to the country. Despite the conflicting theories around whether Buddhism first reached Vietnam during the 3rd or 2nd century BCE (Before Common Era), plant-based food has influenced Vietnamese cuisine since the beginning of time. Buddhism in Vietnam has experienced as many turmoils as the country itself. From its introduction into the country in the early centuries, divided by the different Buddhist denominations, attempted controls by the Vietnamese government, and influence by the West. Each had their own motivations for promoting veganism or vegetarianism. Buddhism is the most popular religion in Vietnam, with an estimated 85% of the population identifying themselves as practicing Buddhists. One of the most common philopsophies linked to Buddhism is the abstainance from consuming animal products. However, historically, Buddhism did not dictate that its followers should be vegetarian. It is thought that Buddha himself ate meat. Legend has it that many Buddhist monks and nuns historically relied on villagers to give them whatever food they could spare. Often it contained meat. Over time, the monks and nuns were able to grow their own food and relied less on the community. A plant-based diet

proved most suitable, and it adhered to the karmic teaching of not harming living creatures. Chef Kevin Nguyen from Vietnamese restaurant Le Feu Cuisine explains, “most Vietnamese people are part-time vegan or vegetarian because Buddhism is so deep-rooted in who we are as a culture. That is why many of the dishes on our menu are plant-based”. While Buddhism is not as popular here in Australia as in Vietnam, there has been a growth and increasing awareness of the benefits of plantbased foods, and Vietnamese food is certainly a great option for those who wish to enjoy a more plantbased diet. Plant-based food does not have to be boring or tasteless either. Take Le Feu Cuisine’s vegan KFC Krispy Cauliflower, which is crispy on the outside and full of flavour. Or their Feu Choux Steam Bao, a mushroom mixed stuffed tofu, served on a bed of Vietnamese herbs and pickles, wedged in a fluffy bao bun and drizzled with BBQ sauce. Le Feu Cuisine is a FrenchVietnamese restaurant with restaurants along the Mornington Peninsula with the flagship restaurant in Mornington. It is also fully gluten-free and is accredited by Coeliac Australia. Le Feu Mornington is located at 10 Blake Street, Mornington. Phone 0481 994 997. www.lefeu.com.au.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT

NINE, 7.30pm

THURSDAY

LAW & ORDER: SVU

TEN, 9pm

The professional mixes with the personal in tonight’s episode of SVU and it lands Benson (Mariska Hargitay, left) in a most uncomfortable situation. Assistant District Attorney Carisi (Peter Scanavino) prosecutes Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott) for the murder of Kathy Stabler, the wife of detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). This episode is one-half of a crossover with Law & Order: Organised Crime, but don’t worry if you miss that one – this episode is where all the juicy bits are.

SUNDAY

VERA

ABC TV, 8.40pm

Traditionally wearing her trusty bucket hat and weathered trench coat, DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) is an entertainingly original and multifaceted character. Based on the books by crime writer Ann Cleeves, Vera returns for its 11th season with arguably its best crime-ridden yarn yet. Tonight, in “Witness”, Vera untangles the mystery of a murdered local builder, who was found beaten to death the day before he was due to testify in court.

MONDAY

BRIDESMAIDS

NINE, 9.30pm

Bromance king Judd Apatow tries his hand at a female-driven flick with this rib-tickler starring and co-written by Kristen Wiig (above). The film follows the down-and-out Annie (Wiig) as she prepares for the wedding of her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph), while developing insecurities about Lillian’s new friend, the picture-perfect Helen (Rose Byrne). The comedy, as you’d expect from an Apatow production, is never too far from the bedroom or the bathroom, but it’s also up to the roaring standards of his other films, and is well supported by the pathos of Wiig’s character.

Here we go again with the ninth season of this charade involving pretend marriages, fame-hungry contestants and a highly optimistic chance at love. In past seasons, there have been a whirlwind of fights, affairs, outbursts and jaw-dropping behaviour overshadowing any tales of everlasting love, and that’s what makes Married At First Sight such a foamy and foolish cocktail; it’s frankly hard to resist. Guided by relationship “experts” John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla, the brides and grooms include 28-year-old DJ Jack Millar, Melbourne florist Jessica Seracino and Americanborn personal trainer Andrew Davis. Mel Schilling is a relationship expert on Married At First Sight

Shire CEO ‘concerned’ over ratepayer group’s allegations I am writing to express my concern and disappointment over the article published both online and in hardcopy (“Call for probe of shire ‘democracy’” The News 18/1/22)). My disappointment relates not only to the potentially defamatory material that has been published, but also in the complete lack of diligence and integrity that has been shown in both factchecking the claims and the failure to offer Mornington Peninsula Shire Council the opportunity to respond. In this article, you have directly implicated specific councillors, being Crs [Despi] O’Connor, [Sarah] Race, [Anthony] Marsh and two council officers, being myself and Amanda Sapolu. The article contains many references that suggest that councillors and officers failed to exercise sound judgment, did not follow good governance practices and are not fit and proper people to hold their office. Firstly, the article contains factual inaccuracies which suggest that The News neither saw the documents on which the Nepean Ratepayers Association rely, nor questioned the information provided. Secondly, your article has either purposely or negligently misunderstood the role of the Local Government Inspectorate. It is not correct that 25 per cent of complaints lodged with the inspectorate over the last year involve

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors. Following this article’s “logic” it also suggests that of the 1164 complaints received by the inspectorate, 25 per cent or 291 of those relate to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors. That is manifestly inaccurate, misleading and defamatory of councillors and undermining of the council. Thirdly, there is no faction that has developed between councillors and the executive. Publishing such a statement is defamatory to the councillors named and undermining of the council. Fourthly, councillors routinely “work up amendments” either with or without other councillors and with or without officer involvement. To suggest that this process is a “well contrived, deliberate action to bypass the reasonable, accepted democratic process’”is factually inaccurate, improper and suggests an ignorance of decision-making processes across local government. Such process is a proper process. Fifthly, the comment “six councillors clearly displayed a lack of ethical judgement and personal integrity …” is defamatory and without merit. There is nothing in law, practice, procedure to support such a comment. Lastly, the comment that “it also raises question as to both the roles of [Mr Baker and Ms Sapolu]” is clearly

Kill quotas flawed Kangaroos symbolise Australia and are represented on everything from our Australian and Victorian coat of arms to our national airline. As native wildlife they are protected under legislation. Yet, perversely, we subject them to annual slaughters and the Andrews’ government’s assault on Victoria’s wildlife continues with the 2022 quota for killing grey kangaroos set at a staggering 185,850. These kill quotas for the government’s harvesting program and authority to control wildlife (ATCW) schemes are based upon seriously flawed aerial counts and desk top modelling undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). These inaccuracies were recently highlighted when a citizen science project, Count Your Mob project, was undertaken on the Mornington Peninsula. The survey, which comprised comprehensive ground surveys, found a population of eastern grey kangaroos of around 3500, substantially less than the official estimates by DELWP of 7000. Also alarmingly, the DELWP estimates assumed kangaroos are found across 90 per cent of the peninsula! In its first four years the Andrews’ government issued permits to kill more than 844,000 animals, a doubling of the previous four years. These included herons, swans, fur seals, wombats, pelicans, kangaroos and frogs. The ATCW scheme poses serious threats to wildlife, stripping fauna of their protected status. It is poorly administered and regulated by DELWP. The Victorian Auditor General also recently identified that DELWP was failing our wildlife. The recent debacle of the entrapment of 600 kangaroos at Cape Schanck and the inaction by Minister D’Ambrosio, Nepean MP Chris Brayne, and the DELWP conservation regulator demonstrates the government’s disinterest. Concern about the health and wellbeing of kangaroo populations in NSW resulted in a recent parliamentary inquiry. It found deep flaws in determining kill quotas and serious animal welfare concerns. Victoria needs to act now before it is too late. Nigel Atkins, Arthurs Seat

What comes next? The news just received that the Supreme Court has cancelled the permit to kill the trapped kangaroos at Cape Schanck is a great start to the new year. A perfect result.

defamatory. There is no evidence to suggest that either myself or Ms Sapolu acted inappropriately, because we did not. Through the publication of these comments by the Nepean Ratepayer Association, as a front- page news article, without comment from the council, you have represented these allegations as fact. One only has to look at the commentary on the Facebook page to ascertain how this article has been received by those who viewed it. This commentary has detrimental impacts for the reputation of councillors who are entrusted by the community that elects them to make decisions that are lawful. Further, it has significant reputational impacts for myself as chief executive officer and Ms Sapolu as manager for legal and governance. Both of these roles require a high level of integrity and good governance. Baseless allegations that seek to damage this reputation will have direct impact on our reputation, current and future employment. In your role as publisher of this material, you had an obligation to ensure that defamatory content was not published. Council asks that the article be retracted immediately, and an apology issued by close of business Thursday 20 January 2022. If this does not hap-

What needs to be done now is for any restrictive fencing to be removed and the roos mustered back to the national park. Further to that, this episode should be a salutary lesson to all that relying on public servants to serve the community needs is a case of misplaced trust. The department’s guestimates of 7000 on the Peninsula is a joke. The various vigilante groups that have been working for the benefit of the trapped roos should not drop their guard. Pressure needs to be maintained until the restrictive fencing is removed and the wild life is free to come and go and I say this as one who had been the owner of an irrigation farm in northern Victoria where one has to learn to live with the local wildlife. I am not an advocate from the chardonnay set. The entire land management regime needs to be abolished and replaced with people who know and care what they are talking about. We don’t have that at the moment. Barry James Rumpf, McCrae

Unfair attacks It astounds me that people write to this newspaper without conducting even a modicum of research. Let us just look at the weak jabs at retiring Health Minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt. Some of your correspondents repeat unfounded allegations that Mr Hunt botched the acquisition of vaccines for Australia. In fact, he was dealing with vaccine manufacturers from April through 2020 and initiated the development of the Astra Zeneca vaccine production in Australia. We now have a world leading vaccination rate of over 95 per cent and only this week we had the highest day of vaccinations in Australian history. And booster shots are available for all those eligible to receive them. Thus saving many thousands of Australian lives. The comments about the minister’s involvement with Rosebud Hospital are also wrong, he was heavily involved in the development of the hospital’s new cancer centre. As to jibes about quarantine facilities: Quarantine management does not come under the health minister’s portfolio. The authors of these anti-Hunt diatribes are mere apologists for the Andrew’s state government. Trying to deflect Victorians from remembering the disastrous hotel quarantine debacle, overly strict lockdowns, curfews, school closures, mental health problems caused by isolation, and the demolition of thousands of small businesses in this state. Jackie Hammill, Mornington

pen, then council reserves its rights to commence a formal process including the issuing of a Concerns Notice under the Defamation Act 2005. Council expects The News to continue to publish articles that question and challenge the decision making of council. That is indeed the role of the media to help keep government accountable. What is becoming too regular an occurrence is the publishing of ill-informed, inaccurate, misleading commentary from special interest groups that present an inaccurate, biased and misleading view of council, or a particular decision or strategy. Going forward, should such commentary be published, it would be in the best interests of The News to ask council for comment. This should minimise the risk of The News publishing inaccurate, misleading or defamatory content. Myself and my communications team are available to assist. If that opportunity had been provided, we would have provided a further detailed rebuttal to the commentary provided in this letter. This would have included references to the best practice model governance rules prepared by the state (which included most of the amendments to which the Nepean ratepayer group are concerned); a commentary on the process required for amendments under the

Welcome Australia What pleasure I had reading an intelligent, common sense, knowledgeable, balanced inclusive letter (“Flagging Australia Day” Letters 11/1/22). To my knowledge there are four living generations of white Australians at this point in time. None of whom had anything to do the explorations of Captain Cook (English sea captain) and Dutch ships’ discoveries of Australia. However, we who love Australia, have welcomed peoples from many countries, most looking for a better life of prosperity and peace. We need to thank God every day that the bombing of Darwin and the entry of Japanese submarines into Sydney harbor was defended successfully by Australian forces or we might be now speaking Japanese. The opportunities and services such as education, medicine and science offered to everyone is second to none. Unfortunately, the journalists of the television media are hell bent on “division” at every opportunity. Maureen Sharpe, Bittern

‘Amazed’ by salary I was amazed to learn that Mornington Peninsula Shire Council CEO [John Baker] is on a salary package of $425,000 a year (“Cents a reason to ‘correct’ CEO’s $425,000 package” The News 18/1/22. This is equivalent to 98 per cent of the salary package paid to Australia’s deputy prime minister. Just how much are Australians paying for our third tier of government? Maybe we have one tier too many. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Grateful for help Small businesses, such as my husband’s - a sole trader - bore the brunt of the COVID restrictions by being prohibited from working, often illogically, while government employees doing comparable work were kept in full employment (“Part of the job” Letters 18/1/22). We appreciate the enormity of the country’s debt (on taxpayers’ and future generations’ shoulders), but we were enormously grateful for the help given to small businesses during prolonged periods without any income. Lesley Durham, Mount Eliza

Governance Rules; and a commentary on best practice for developing amendments (which includes engaging officer assistance). John Baker, chief executive officer, Mornington Peninsula Shire Editor: The Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association has asked Local Government Minister Shaun Leane to appoint a “commission of inquiry … into the affairs of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council”. The association has told Mr Leane that its letter is written on behalf of several peninsula community groups. The association states that the council has a “ruling group which has severely impacted the democratic performance and community perception of the council”. “This gross behaviour is affecting the council’s ability to be a representative decision maker for the peninsula community and is disenfranchising about 40,000 members of the peninsula community who voted for five councillors who are in the minority group,” the letter states. The letter covers much of the same ground as that of the Nepean Ratepayers’ Association but goes into greater detail to justify its concerns that “makes an inquiry inescapable”.

McCurdy MP, Steph Ryan MP, Bev McArthur MP and former Police Association boss Phil Edge have told media across Victoria that country roads are a dangerous mess and that lowering speed limits won’t stop crashes. Lowering speed limits dodges the issue of neglected roads. Last year, to 21 January, four people had died on Victorian roads. In 2022 it’s 17. That’s not counting injuries and damage to product and vehicles. VicRoads’ policies failed again. They claim to lead the world in road safety. That was 50 years ago. In 2022, they refuse to admit they are wrong on country roads or wire rope barriers. A comprehensive review of VicRoads’ administration, policies and maintenance of rural roads is long overdue. Fix VicRoads management to save money. Fix country roads to save lives. Damien Codognotto, Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia

Red Cross support There is no doubt that 2021 has been a tough year for most Australians and with the arrival of Omicron things continue to look uncertain. Our latest festive season survey has found that for many this time of year is particularly stressful and lonely. Australian Red Cross’ annual loneliness data shows significantly more women and younger people are feeling lonelier this festive season. People reported the pandemic has changed their relationships with others and the way they see the world. Our team of volunteers will be making calls throughout the festive period to those who are vulnerable and isolated, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers for their work this year. I would also encourage people to check in on your neighbours and friends to see how they are going or pick up the phone to someone you have lost touch with. Let them know that people do care and put a smile on their faces. A simple, yet thoughtful gesture could really make their holiday. To support our everyday work, including to build community connection, please check out our website where you can also get tips on small things you can do to change the world.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Serious fire at Seaford Foreshore Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Sunday, for the second time within three weeks the foreshore has been on fire. This fire occurred as the result of the careless use of fire by a visitor, who as one of the community, has every liberty on the foreshore, but who, instead of spending 3d. on a quart of boiling water, preferred to risk burning Seaford out by lighting a fire in a kerosene tin. The fire quickly got out of control, and in a few moment acres of valuable ti-tree were a seething mass of blood-red flame, belching up immense columns of black smoke. The alarm signal was quickly noted by the Frankston and Carrum fire brigades, who promptly turned out in full strength, and aided by a very large body of residents and visitors, were quickly at work. The Frankston brigade’s hose was for a while a useless possession, owing to the difficulty of locating a fire plug to screw it to. However, after a deal of digging, a plug was eventually unearthed at the corner of Station street, some half mile from the spot where the fire commenced. The Frankston men were not long in getting a stream of water playing on the ti-tree at this point, thus making it certain that the fire would not pass this point. In between, however, the fire raged, pitting its unmerciful fury against a valiant band of the Carrum brigade and willing workers. It was noted that a chance presented itself of staying the flames at Howell’s store, where a previously-burnt patch

of some two acres covered with young ti-tree offered a good chance of burning back upon the main body of fire, which by its intense heat and choking fumes made it impossible to get within fighting distance of it. At this spot the battle royal was fought. Back fires were started, and these gradually burnt a track towards the approaching main body. A break was also cut, and although the workers here suffered intense heat and choking conditions, their efforts were eventually crowned with success, for the wall of fire suddenly received a decisive check, and died gradually down. Just at this moment the wind suddenly changed to the south-west, and the workers about this inferno received clear air and were relieved to realise that the position was saved. The main fight being now over, it was a matter of putting out small fires, which constantly started in unburnt sections, and after a while the position was declared safe. Although the fire raged so furiously upon the shore side of the bike track, it was noted with very great satisfaction that the portion cleared of undergrowth some time ago by the council did not catch fire, and it is this fact which undoubtedly saved the residential side of the road. Had this splendid work not been carried out it is certain an immense fire would have resulted, causing the loss of thousands of pounds of valuable property. Considering the conditions of weather which prevailed, it is a great

credit to both brigades and workers that the damage is not far more serious. The fire of three weeks ago burnt half an acre, but this one has caused 15 or more acres of what was an ideal picnic ground to be laid waste as a barren and bleak example of Government and municipal neglect. A few weeks’ work of modern man’s devices and forethought could easily have saved 20 years or more of nature’s great and successful effort to beautify a barren waste. It is too late now to whine “if only” – too late to talk of the “ifs.” The Government, Council and local people want to get right down on the question and devise as quickly as possible an adequate and equitable protective arrangement. The “Standard” has done more than its share in bringing this important matter under public notice, and those concerned want to wake up before they lose the whole of that which makes Seaford fit to live in – its titree. As the time of “ifs” and “oughts” is now passed with regard to this burnt-out section, thoughts and actions should turn to what CAN be done. A public meeting CAN be held. The Minister of Lands and Public Works CAN be approached by deputation. A comprehensive scheme, adequate and equitable, CAN be arranged. The fire plugs CAN be found and put in order at once. The Government CAN be asked to supply the necessary hose pipe and standard.

PROUDLY PRESENTED BY

There are quite a number of ablebodied Seafordites who CAN emulate their Carrum and Frankston brothers as a volunteer brigade. The devastated area CAN be cleaned up ready to plant it in winter with some trees such as pines, etc. A motor park, or two, CAN be formed to make useful breaks in the ti-tree. All in, we CAN at least be prepared to guard against the loss of our best asset. *** TOMORROW night the Long Island Progress Association meet to discuss the matter of a railway station between Frankston and Seaford; also to consider the question of asphalting the tennis courts. *** THE committee of the Frankston New Year’s Day Sports met to consider the financial position, the president, Mr T. J. McMurtrie, presiding. The approximate balance sheet disclosed a very satisfactory position, the estimated profit on the recent meeting being about £40. It was decided to specially recognise the services of Mrs H. McComb, who again conducted the refreshment booth with good financial results. *** HALF the proceeds of next Monday’s Caledonian sports at Frankston are to be donated to the Soldiers’ Memorial Fund. The Park will be open at 10am and the sports programme commences at 2pm. *** MESSRS Taylor and Ritchie, of

Mornington are the authorised agents for the New Ford Cars for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. The advise a big drop in price. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held at Hastings on Tuesday night to discuss the special rate for the High School at Frankston. *** THE Protestant Federation will hold a public meeting at Frankston next Friday night, when addresses will be given by Rev. W. Albiston, of Melbourne, and Rev S. E. Dorman, of Bendigo. Hon. W. F. Finlayson, M.L.C. of Queensland, will lecture in the interests of the Anti-Liquor League at Frankston at an early date. *** AT the Wangaratta Police Court, on Tuesday last, before Mr Notley Moore, P.M., a youth, Robert Rivett, who is said to have came from the Baxter district, was charged with shooting at an old man, 65 years of age, with intent to murder him. Rivett, who is only 19 years of age, was committed to stand his trial at the Criminal Court on Wednesday, February 15. *** AS requests for continuance are universal amongst visitors and others, the Frankston Picture Co. will consider the advisability of the continuance of the Wednesday night’s pictures at the meeting of the directorate this evening. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 27 January 1922

Pines, Dromana grab thrilling win over Main Ridge the line in time. The winning runs were hit with just one ball left to spare and one wicket left in hand. A stunning bowling performance by Ryan Lynch helped Carrum Downs get the win over Frankston YCW last weekend. Lynch took 6/9. He tore through the top order and sent YCW back to the sheds for just 74 runs. Carrum Downs chased down their target with ease. Carrum and Crib Point rounded out the winner’s list by defeating Delacombe Park and Hastings respec-

WOMENS

A HARD FOUGHT victory saw Langwarrin go two wins clear on the top of the MPCA Women’s division ladder last weekend. Langy took on Balnarring at Lloyd Park. Both sides have had good seasons, and the contest proved to be a close one. Langwarrin chose to bat first and were in good form. An excellent knock of 74 from Kylie Walters was the highlight of the innings. By the end of their innings, Langwarrin had put 165 runs on the board. Balnarring’s run chase got off to a great start. They only lost one wicket for their first 73 runs. The chase hit troubled waters when Balnarring fell to 6/101. They worked hard to reach their target but ended up falling short by just 12 runs. Opener Brianna Watson top scored for Balnarring with 35. In the other game for the weekend, Tootagrook defeated Rye. Pines had a bye.

AN EXCELLENT knock from Simon Dart wasn’t enough to save Red Hill from defeat against Sorrento on Saturday. Dart scored 93 runs at Red Hill Recreation Reserve. He has been having an excellent season, only failing to surpass 40 runs in one innings. Red Hill set Sorrento a target of 203 to score to win. Sorrento proved up for the daunting task. They scored 87 runs before losing their first wicket, and went on to claim a seven wicket win. Number three batsmen Robert Wilson was excellent for the winning side. He scored 79 not out. An excellent knock by Pubudu Edirisinghe (86) was the deciding factor in Long Island’s match against Langwarrin on Saturday. Long Island won by 61 runs.

PENINSULA

HEATHERHILL closed the gap on top of the table Pines by defeating them at Eric Bell Reserve last weekend. Pines were sent in to bat first and struggled. Outside of a half century from opener Damien Lawrence, none of their batters were able to make much impact on the scoreboard.

Pines were bowled out for 135. An impressive score from opener Joseph Rule (68) helped set Heatherhill up for a successful run chase. Although it wasn’t all smooth sailing, Heatherhill eventually emerged victorious by three wickets. Despite the defeat, Pines remain on top of the ladder. Around the grounds Moorooduc, Flinders, and Mornington were victorious. They defeated Rosebud, Somerville, and Seaford Tigers.

DROMANA escaped with a thrilling win over Main Ridge on Saturday. Main Ridge batted first and set their opponents a target of 137 to win. Dromana’s run chase started poorly when both openers fell for just one run each. A strong showing from the middle order, led by an unbeaten half century from Waide Symes, got Dromana back on track. Symes began to lose partners, but Dromana just got over

A PHENOMENAL century from Pradeep De Silva helped Ballam Park defeat Boneo on Saturday. The two sides did battle at Boneo Rec Reserve. The clash would go on to be an entertaining run-fest, with De Silva’s knock the best of them. Ballam Park batted first and set Boneo a daunting total of 230 to win. Boneo proved they were up for the task, and worked hard to stay within reach. Half centuries from Stewart Mathieson and Jarvis Andersen kept them in the hunt. Unfortunately for Boneo time worked against them. Their innings expired at 6/215, 15 runs short of victory. Runs were much harder to come by at RF Miles Reserve when Seaford took on Pearcedale. Pearcedale scored just 46 before being sent back to the sheds. Seaford managed to chase that down with six wickets left to spare. In other matchups Tootgarook defeated Tyabb, Mt Martha got the better of Rye, and Balnarring defeated Skye.

Cartwright riding in red hot form HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based jockey Matthew Cartwright will be looking to keep his hot streak rolling after riding a winner at every meeting he attended last week. The 19-year-old apprentice’s week kicked off in perfect fashion on Tuesday 18 January where he went to Moe for just the one ride aboard the Ken and Kasey Keys-trained Poleaxed and duly saluted. Cartwright then notched up a winning double at Sandown the following day aboard Cardigan Queen and Zachaz for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace before landing another winner at Flemington on the Friday. His success culminated in a winning treble at The Valley on the Saturday. Cartwright guided Swelter Magic (race 4) and Yulong Command (race 5) to comfortable on-pace victories before winning aboard High ‘n’ Dry (race 7) in track record time for the 1500m – 1:28.99. Cartwright, who ended up with seven winners from 17 rides last week, put the success

down to a few factors. “I couldn’t be happier with how I’m going at the moment. I’m getting good support, nice rides and my racing manager Travis Johnstone is doing a great job,” he said. “I reckon riding throughout the Spring and competing against the top jockeys has also helped me a bit going into the summer.” Cartwright, who is apprenticed to his mother and grandmother, Leonie Proctor and Lyn Tolson also partnered their stable star Curran in race 8 at The Valley. The gelding got back in the field before finishing off strongly to finish sixth under the 61.5kgs topweight. Cartwright has partnered the sprinter to all four of his victories and while he was happy with the run, believed the gelding is ready for a break. “I was happy with the performance. The race shape didn’t suit us but he still ran good, but he’s probably ready for a spell now.” Cartwright currently sits eighth on the metro jockey’s premiership with 21 winners, and sits second out of the apprentices with Josh Richards ahead of him with 28 winners.

Wallace Cup takes COVID hit SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie THE 10th staging of the annual Steve Wallace Cup was put on hold last weekend after clubs were hit with player unavailability due to the current pandemic. Instead host club and event organiser Langwarrin changed Saturday’s usual format from group and finals stages to a number of one-off 90-minute games. “The day still went well and was well attended,” Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace said. She plays a pivotal role in organising the charity event named in her father’s honour and this year over $2000 was raised and will be donated to Frankston Hospital’s Emergency Department. The revamped tournament was renamed Steve Wallace Memorial Day and had Peninsula Strikers playing State 2 rival Skye United until Strikers pulled out of the fixture citing player availability as the primary reason. “We had quite a large amount of positives among the playing group and now it’s spread to the coaching staff as well,” Striker’s president Adrian Scialpi said. “We’re at the point that probably in the next week or so it’ll go right through our club and we didn’t want to pretend everything was alright and go down there and spread the virus.” An All Stars side made up of past players was hastily assembled and lined up against Skye but on a very hot day younger legs prevailed with Skye winning 9-0. Skye’s scorers were Ryan Mravljak (2), Logan Magri (2), Mikey Turner (2), Marcus Anastasiou (2) and Ali Ulum who is yet to sign from Pakenham United. Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness gave debuts to youngsters Seb Stevens and Zack Lengyel while Langwarrin’s Alex Van Heerwarden also played for Skye. Van Heerwarden and Langy veteran Boris Ovcin have been training at Skye and both are expected to feature in this Saturday’s friendly away to Warragul United. The reserves are at 5pm and the seniors at 7pm. Last Saturday’s late game featured Langwarrin and Frankston Pines with the NPL2 side running out a 7-3 winner. It was a competitive game though given Pines are in State 3. Langy went ahead 1-0 early through Isaiah Joseph before former Langy striker Liam Baxter followed up a saved free-kick to equalise.

Recent recruits: Ryan Ratcliffe (left) has joined Pines from Launceston United while Chris (Lenny) Gregory has joined Langwarrin from Oakleigh Cannons. Pictures: Paul Seeley (The Man In The Stands)

Langy then piled on another five goals in the next 45 minutes through Joseph, Lenny Gregory, Ryan Paczkowski, Tom Youngs from the penalty spot and a Lucas Portelli screamer. After 60 minutes the Langy team was replaced with the under-21s. Pines hit back through Baxter and Tito Vodowaqa before Langy 17-yearold Kyle Eichenberger completed the scoreline with a late goal. On Sunday Langy announced two new signings welcoming Christopher (Lenny) Gregory from Oakleigh Cannons and Mawien Nielo from Heidelberg United to the club. Gregory is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder and Nielo is an 18-year-old striker. Langwarrin will be back in action at Lawton Park this Saturday when it takes on NPL 3 outfit Essendon Royals at 1pm (under-21s) and 3pm (seniors). Pines have completed the signing of former Doncaster Rovers and Box Hill United full back/midfielder Keegan

quick free kick sent Mitch Hawkins through to score against his old side. Chris Sanderson was delighted with the outcome. “I thought we played a good brand of football and tried to keep the ball on the deck,” he said. “We created numerous opportunities and in the end it was a great way to kick-off our season.” In the other early game Somerville defeated Rosebud 1-0 with both sides under strength. Rosebud featured the Hicks brothers back from Seaford United with Blake up front and Hayden in goal and the State 5 side had the better of the first half. Somie had the better of the second period with the only goal of this contest coming from a well-taken Conor Mcfall free-kick. Both clubs are hoping to make new signings shortly and there’s growing confidence at Somerville that Lee Barber is putting together a competitive squad.

important member of the squad. “Jack’s a highly valued member of our squad and a leader with the younger players,” he said. “He’ll be sorely missed but we will rally around him and provide the support he needs to get through his rehab. “We’ll endeavour to have him involved with the squad in some form while he’s out of action on the park.” Seaford United and Mount Martha featured in one of the day’s opening games with Mount Martha prevailing 2-1. Prolific Seaford striker Dylan Waugh opened the scoring in the 17th minute when he shrugged off the attentions of an opponent and slotted home. Chris Sanderson’s outfit equalised in the 58th minute when Jake Hawkins’ throw-in was cleverly dummied by Ethan Sanderson on the edge of the area and Connor Mooney cut across a defender before calmly finishing in the bottom corner. Mount Martha’s winner came in the 65th minute when Ethan Sanderson’s

Grealy. The 22-year-old won’t end the new additions to the squad which seems certain to be added to in coming weeks. The Wallace Memorial game between Mornington and Baxter was abandoned after 22 minutes due to serious injury. Mornington was leading 1-0 thanks to a Tom Woods tap-in after a far post cross was headed back across goal to him. But an innocuous challenge involving Baxter’s Keiran Grant and Mornington’s Jack Heseltine resulted in Heseltine suffering a broken tibia. He was taken to hospital and operated on the following day. It continues a horror injury run for the 27-year-old who suffered a triple fracture above the elbow and a dislocated shoulder following a freak accident at Mornington’s pre-season training back in January 2019. Assistant reserves coach Scott Morrison said Heseltine was a popular and
