Energy costs leave families cold Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au SURGING energy prices are pushing hundreds of peninsula households into financial crisis, with a disturbing rise in the number of vulnerable families and individuals being disconnected or forced to go without basic necessities due to massive jumps in gas and electricity bills.

Social welfare groups have warned that energy costs are now out of reach for more and more households – and the situation is set to get worse with even greater rises looming in the new year, despite the federal government’s promise of bill relief due to the scrapping of the carbon tax. Victorian power prices have doubled over the past three years and are now among the highest in the developed
world, while gas prices aren’t far behind, with rises tipped to surge at a faster rate than electricity next year. Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said unprecedented numbers of peninsula residents were presenting to the service due to unmanageable utility bills. “It has been a very sharp increase and the amounts of money involved

are becoming more and more substantial,� Ms Elliott said. “Usually, these people have been hit with bills far higher than they had planned for and certainly far higher than they have paid in the past, sometimes double their previous bill, so they’re caught completely by surprise and with no capacity to pay. “For many people, that means going without basic necessities, such as
heating and cooling, or being cut off altogether. Ms Elliott said price rises were disproportionately hitting lower income households, especially pensioners. “We have heard from many outreach workers and groups visiting the elderly in their homes that they are simply not turning on their heaters during the middle of winter,� she said.

Church orders men’s shed to leave camp
U3A spring expo
Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed is in a pickle: it has to find a new home by the end of December. Based at the Don Bosco Camp at Safety Beach for the past two years, the men’s shed has provided an outlet for retired men, some of whom might otherwise have felt depressed and socially isolated. Its 30-man membership meets at least three times a week to engage in community activities as well as socialise over coffee and trades work. The shed’s members have been involved with community events, as well as providing wood craft activities for the Dromana Australia Day Community Breakfast, woodworking instruction to local school children, furniture restoration and cultivating a community vegetable garden. But a “lack of compatibility” with the camp management’s aims of providing a safe and enjoyable experience for children has led to the shed being given its marching orders by the Roman Catholic insitute, Salesians of Don Bosco, based in Ascot Vale. Business manager Damien Giddens said the men’s shed had been invited to set up at the camp by a former manager no longer employed there. “We recently decided a review of our respective positions was required and have decided to go in a new direction,” he said. “We found that the camp’s use by our main clients - primary and secondary schools - is incompatible with a men’s shed. We are now hearing that
Out in the cold: The Catholic Church’s Salesians of Don Bosco children’s camp has decided its activities are not compatible with those of the Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed and has told the group to go. Men’s shed regulars Kevin Harrup, Ian Park, Phil Nash and Graeme Morris were last week working in the community garden outside the shed. Picture: Yanni
some of our long-standing clients are looking elsewhere and the camp’s viability is being affected.” Camp managers met with men’s shed representatives on Friday 26 September to tell them the bad news. “They were disappointed; we were, too,” Mr Giddens said. When we started we did not envisage that problem arising. Also, the location is a problem – they need direct road access, yet they are right in the middle of the camp. “There is no other way we can site them. We have said we will scout around for them and that they can use the camp as a mail box.” Men’s shed president Rick Plummer
said it had “come as quite a shock to us that we have to pack up our equipment and quickly find a new home from which to operate”. “To think that we are under threat of closure if we don’t find a new home quickly is extremely disheartening as this is an important social outlet for men’s health and wellbeing. This association provides an outlet where men can continue to feel they are valued within the community. “If some of the men didn’t come here they would sit at home and be socially isolated and depressed; without a purpose in life.” The administrator of the Don Bosco
camp, Dominic Stephens, would not comment on the notice to vacate. Now the hunt is on for a new home base – preferably larger than the present 92 square metre site. Something around 250 square metres on a longterm lease would be more suitable. “If there is a community minded business, or local person, out there who can offer something suitable for us, we would dearly love to hear from them,” Mr Plummer said. Anyone in the Dromana-Safety Beach area able to assist with long term or short term accommodation can call 0409 838 974.

Ward funds still for the chop Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au
Cheers for the leaders IT seems cheerleading is not solely the province of the American college football scene. Mornington has its share of the action, too, with its very own All Star Cheerleading Club. Competition and recreational classes for children aged 3 and over are held at The All Stars, in Milgate Drive, which has been running since February. Organiser Donna Wines said cheerleading was the fastest growing sport in the country, with more than 6500
athletes expected to compete at the national championships on the Gold Coast next month. The All Stars will be represented by their level 2 and 3 squads and they are confident of a good showing. “We recently competed at the state championships with all seven of our squads placing in every event, and the senior level 3 squad winning first prize,” Ms Wines said. Their training facility has two floors, one of which is fully sprung,

and a variety of tumble equipment so participants can train in a safe environment. New teacher Chris Shierk, an American cheerleading coach, has 17 years’ experience worldwide in the industry. He joins a team of enthusiastic and experienced coaches who share his expertise. The club will start a dance program next year.
AN incoming state government will press ahead with axing councillors’ discretionary ward funds no matter which major political party wins next month’s state election. The News can reveal the Liberal and Labor parties both intend to ban ward grants as part of a wider clampdown on councillors’ conduct across Victoria. The Local Government Inspectorate investigated the use of ward funds by 32 of the state’s councils last year and found just four councils – Greater Dandenong City Council, Maribyrnong City Council, South Gippsland City Council and Greater Geelong City Council - had “demonstrated accountable practices” when distributing ward funds. The LGI found insufficient governance around most councils’ ward funds programs meant “fraudulent or corrupt practices by individual councillors, whereby funds may be committed to self-interest groups” could occur. The Shire’s 11 councillors are currently able to distribute $10,000 each to community groups or individuals in a financial year. The Coalition state government moved to ban ward funds as part of a bill to set higher conduct standards for councillors but was unable to pass the legislation before the end of Parliament’s sitting term before next month’s state election. Labor spokesman for local government Richard Wynne told The News the opposition agreed with most of the provisions within the legislation but
had failed to reach compromise with the state government on some of the detail. “This legislation has been sitting in the parliament for weeks and we’ve been ready to debate it,” Mr Wynne said. “It shows how chaotic this government has become that they couldn’t get such an important piece of legislation passed.” Mr Wynne said Labor would “absolutely” seek to scrap the ward grants program across Victoria if it wins government next month. “It is vital the use of public funds is transparent,” he said. Local Government Minister Tim Bull said the Coalition government “is committed to implementing reforms to strengthen council governance and councillor conduct.” “A re-elected Napthine Government will ensure this Bill is re-introduced and passed as quickly as possible at the beginning of the next term of Parliament,” Mr Bull said. “The only reason this much-needed reform has not already become law is due to Labor’s obstructionism in the Parliament.” Mr Wynne said Labor had disagreed on giving mayors the power to throw councillors out of council chambers during debates and removing the right of an individual councillor to abstain from voting on a matter before council. He said Labor also did not back the Coalition’s push to have an independent person be involved in the selection of council CEOs. “That’s a matter for councils,” Mr Wynne said.

Artists work towards exhibition WORKS by artists from the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne and Sydney will be among the 900 paintings exhibited at the 43rd annual Mornington Art Exhibition. Themes of many of the paintings will incorporate “Mornington landscapes and icons”. The exhibition will run until Monday 26 January after opening with a celebratory “black and white” event on Friday 16 January at Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington. “The exhibition will be limited to 900 paintings produced in the last 12 months with prizes worth $10,500 across various art genres,” art show convener David Benson said. “Prizes will be awarded and paintings will become available for sale on the opening night.” Mr Benson said the Mornington Art Exhibition has grown to be the largest on the peninsula and one of the largest in Victoria, raising $865000 to Rotary projects. “Mornington Rotary contributes to issues and programs relating to youth in the community,” he said. “Primary schools and secondary colleges receive significant funding and support is provided for school breakfast programs and scholarships, youth leadership camps and university science programs at the Australian National University in Canberra and Monash Clayton.” The exhibition also gives VCE art students the opportunity to exhibit their works.

It’s action stations for election Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au VANDALISM and fights hit the Frankston line last week and a train seat was slashed amid verbal altercations. Protective services officers did not intervene though because politicians, not commuters, were at the centre of the dispute. Liberal and Labor politicians became embroiled in a bitter political stoush over the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train at Frankston train station on Wednesday morning as both major parties try to gain the upper hand on public transport ahead of next month’s state election. Voters’ gripes with public transport is regarded as a key reason the Coalition state government won marginal bayside seats such as Frankston and Carrum from Labor at the 2010 state election. Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder was angered by a suspected act of sabotage before the first X’Trapolis train began its inaugural journey to Frankston. A driver’s seat was slashed the night before the train trip. Metro Trains has vowed to find the perpetrator. Politicians also traded barbs over the rollout of X’Trapolis trains on the Frankston line. Mr Mulder was on board to visit Frankston and spruik the benefits of the new Metro train ahead of next month’s state election as “a further step forward in the Victorian Coalition government’s transformation of commuter travel on the Frankston line under the $115 million Bayside Rail Project.” He said eight new X’Trapolis trains

would run on the Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines “in late 2015” after rail infrastructure upgrades to accommodate more of the Frenchmade trains. “X’Trapolis trains include enhanced safety features such as CCTV cameras in every carriage with a direct video link to the train driver,” Mr Mulder said. Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead said the arrival of the X’Trapolis train “was a taste of more good things down the track for commuters on the Frankston line”. “X’Trapolis trains are the newest, biggest and fastest trains on Melbourne’s network,” Mr Armistead said.
The trains have been running elsewhere on Melbourne’s rail network since 2002. Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke called last Wednesday’s X’Trapolis “a political stunt”. “There are safety concerns about the speed of the X’Trapolis train not being co-ordinated with level crossings, incomplete signalling works and gaps between the platform and carriage at certain stations,” Mr Edbrooke said. Just one X’Trapolis train per day will run on the Frankston line until the rail network upgrades are finished in 12 months’ time. Metro Trains advised The News that the X’Trapolis train will be in service four times per day on the Frankston
line. It will depart Frankston for Melbourne at 6.38am and 8.44am on weekdays and leave Melbourne’s Flinders St Station at 5.30am and 7.35am. The train can travel at speeds of up to 130km/h but will be restricted to a top speed of 90km/h on the Melbourne rail network. Metro Trains confirmed the maximum speed of the X’Trapolis fleet will not change after the late 2015 rail network upgrades. Mr Edbrooke said the government had “rushed out a single train service… on the eve of an election”. The arrival of the much-vaunted X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line captured media attention with press
and TV news crews dispatched from Melbourne to cover Mr Mulder’s press conference at Frankston station. Former Liberal MP Geoff Shaw, now an independent after several disagreements with the Coalition state government, arrived on the Frankston station platform and talked to Mr Mulder after the media conference. Small cardboard replicas of the X’Trapolis train and leaflets promoting the Bayside Rail Project were distributed by Liberal Party staffers. The first edition of a Liberal Party-produced 8-page “community newspaper” called The Southern Express was handed out to passersby. The Liberals intend to distribute the so-called newspaper, which toes the government line on improvements to the Melbourne rail network, at train stations along the Frankston line. The party’s logo is nowhere to be seen in the “newspaper” which also contains crosswords, details about local events and soup recipes alongside state government propaganda pieces spruiking the Coalition’s public transport pledges in the lead up to the state election. Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen took to his personal blog after the X’Trapolis launch event in Frankston to note Coalition MPs reckoned “the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train in service on the Frankston line was a miraculous huge leap forward for train travellers — a rocket-powered, laser-guided teleportation device that can get you to your destination in seconds.”

Building foundation for epilepsy help Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au LIVING with epilepsy can be a lonely experience but it does not have to be that way. A new support group hopes to establish itself in the south east to bring together families whose loved ones suffer from the at times debilitating neurological disorder. The Epilepsy Foundation, established by a group of concerned parents in 1964 to provide support and information to all Victorians affected by epilepsy, is hosting an information session at Patterson Lakes Community House this week about managing epilepsy. The foundation is aiming to form an epilepsy support group in the south east having successfully hosted such forums for many years in Melbourne and other regions of Victoria. Seaford resident Sue is a nurse who lives with her daughter Rebekah who has epilepsy. She welcomed the Epilepsy Foundation push to bring more support services to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Sue and Rebekah sometimes travel to Melbourne for group support sessions to meet other families living with epilepsy but Sue said the journey can sometimes be difficult due to “uncertainty and anxiety” surrounding epileptic seizures. “There are no social resources down this way to talk with other people about the challenges of living with epilepsy,” Sue said. “Epilepsy Foundation is unable
to put us in direct contact with other families for privacy reasons so a local epilepsy support group would be great.” Sue said her family “had battled” with epilepsy with 35-year-old Rebekah’s condition “changing in nature over the years” after she was initially diagnosed at the age of 12. Rebekah’s seizures are irregular and unpredictable. “We’re never at ease… she has gone from being completely unconscious in the past which is scary enough to having complex partial seizures,” Sue said. “It has affected her life in many ways, not only has it isolated her from her peers, put a halt to her education, but it has stopped her from doing a lot of activities that others would be able to take in their stride.” Epilepsy Foundation peer support coordinator David Clunn said the volunteer organisation had a range of groups supporting each other around the state, including AWEsome, a support group for adults living with epilepsy. “For some people it can be problematic attending meetings that are not close to home,” Mr Clunn said. “Epilepsy can be really isolating and people can lose confidence so a south east group would be a chance for carers and those who have epilepsy to come along for a chat.” Mr Clunn said Frankston Hospital neurologist and associate professor Ernest Butler will speak at the Patterson Lakes information session “about the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and how it can affect people at any age.”
Determined duo: Rebekah, left, has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and she and her mother Sue, right, hope a new south east support group can help. Picture: Yanni
“It can be helpful to hear about the process after diagnosis,” Mr Clunn said. Sue said Rebekah “has learned to seize the moment and to enjoy life in the best way that she can”. “She has been a wonderful nanny for her six nieces and nephews. She even managed in the midst of all this at times, to work as a volunteer with people with disabilities and this has given her an even great empathy with others who are in need.” Sue and Rebekah will attend the Patterson Lakes information session to share their journey while coping with epilepsy.
“We want to reach out to people with similar stories and to let them know that there is hope along the way,” Sue said. The Epilepsy Foundation will host an epilepsy information session at Patterson Lakes Community Centre, 54-70 Thompson Rd, Patterson Lakes at 6.45-8.30pm on Thursday 30 October. Light refreshments provided. Call Juliette at the Epilepsy Foundation on 8809 0672. The Epilepsy Foundation is partly funded by the Victorian Department of Health’s health condition support grant program.

Tipper truck drivers spoil cemetery celebration Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au INDUSTRIAL action by Victorian tipper truck drivers threatens to spoil the party for Bunurong Memorial Park following last week’s announcement of a major expansion of the cemetery and crematorium, which came with a promise to put the “fun” back into funerals. The Transport Workers Union last week organised strike action and picket lines at worksites across Melbourne, including Bunurong Memorial Park, in support of better pay for tipper truck owner-operators. The memorial park, which is located on Frankston-Dandenong Rd in Bangholme and services Melbourne’s south-east including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, is undergoing a massive expansion program, with 8500 grave sites to be added to the current 2100 graves. The expansion will include the planting of 80,000 native trees and the addition of function rooms, three chapels, a florist, cafe and a children's playground as the memorial park seeks to expand its appeal to include a wide range of social activities, including weddings and conventions. However, the works require thousands of tonnes of soil to be added to the site on Frankston-Dandenong Rd – and that soil needs to be transported by tipper truck operators who claim they are being underpaid and forced to work in unsafe and unfair conditions. On Thursday, Health Minister David Davis joined a ceremony marking the start of the expansion works at Bunurong, while outside, TWU-aligned tipper truck operators picketed the worksite. TWU organiser Luke McCrone said tipper truck owner-drivers were being driven to the wall by inadequate pay which was making their jobs unviable and forcing them to work in unsafe conditions. The drivers own their trucks and are paid by plant hire companies on a per-load basis. But that amount is not enough to cover maintenance and
repayments on their trucks. The union has been lobbying for the past four months for a 10 per cent pay rise on behalf of the drivers but the plant hire companies are yet to agree, despite most acknowledging the need for a review of pay conditions. Mr McCrone said the pay demands by tipper truck drivers were far from excessive and that underpaying owner drivers threatened to create unsafe conditions on worksites and public roads. “They are only asking for what is fair because at the moment, they can’t make ends meet,” Mr McCrone said. “What that means is that drivers may be forced to forgo vital maintenance of their vehicles or put off replacing tyres because they simply can’t afford it, and that’s clearly not a situation anyone wants to see. “Drivers are forced to rush between jobs to get that extra load, which means taking shortcuts and that makes our roads more dangerous for everyone. It’s not a situation these owner drivers want to be in, nor one they should be forced into to simply put food on the table.” Bunurong was among about 40 worksites targeted by the TWU last week, with rolling industrial action tipped to continue throughout this week. Back inside the cemetery, Mr Davis told officials and guests the investment by Bunurong’s operator, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, would transform the memorial park into the largest in Melbourne's south-east and meet the needs of the community for the next 70 years. “The 101-hectare Bunurong Memorial Park currently has about 2100 graves, 260 mausoleum crypts and 1370 cremation memorial spots available but this will expand,” Mr Davis said. “Given that our population continues to increase, it is important that we have the right services and facilities in place, now and in the future.” However, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust CEO Jonathan Tribe said the project was far more than just an expansion, outlining a strategy to reposition the cemetery as a major social hub that would be visited by thousands of people

a day, including wedding parties, sporting groups and “networking breakfast” attendees. “Our vision for Bunurong is to transform a traditional cemetery into a ‘new age’ memorial park visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year,” Mr Tribe said. “We want to demystify cemeteries and get people to regard them as great community assets – green, relaxing places where you can socialise with family and friends. That’s how people in the Victorian era regarded cemeteries. Mr Tribe said master plan included landscaping and design work that would promote a “distinctive Australian theme”, with the regenerated indigenous natural environment to provide habitat for local fauna. The master plan retains the

crematorium, mausoleum and Greek Orthodox Church, while existing “interments” will not to be impacted by the development. The first of five expansion stages, which is schedules to be completed by 2016, will see the construction of “multi-faith meditation rooms” as well as landscaping works. Mr Tribe said SMCT research had shown that in the 1860s, about 5000 people would visit the Melbourne General Cemetery on a summer Sunday, with visitors “picnicking in the gardens and promenade along the wide pathways”. “In the twentieth century, people developed a morbid attitude towards cemeteries,” Mr Tribe said. “Bunurong Memorial Park is a community space that will help change that perception.”

Mum’s business goes silver Power bills leave families in the cold
By Melissa Hodge MT MARTHA mumpreneur Brionhy Westbrook, right, won silver in the Rising Star and Service Award section of the 2014 St George Banking Group AusMumpreneur Awards. The awards were held at Rydges Swanston in Melbourne where talented mums gathered to support and encourage other Australian mumpreneurs. There were nine other finalists vying for the title of Rising Star AusMumpreneur award, but Brionhy Westbrook said she was thrilled to be named the silver award winner for her business, Kidzaid. “I was very honored to take home two silver awards and to be recognised for all my determination and hard work is refreshing,” said Westbrook, who was quite surprised and humbled by the win. “I am the new kid in town after only having my business for a couple of years. “There were some amazing and inspirational women at the event which began with a book launch on Friday night, then a conference during the day Saturday and the gala awards that night.” The book ‘How to create a successful and profitable business from home’ shares secrets and advice from leading mums in business on creating, managing and growing a home-based business. “We were asked to contribute advice to other mums on how to run a business from home. For me, it’s about time management, delegating and outsourcing. But you also must have a real passion for what you do.

services and innovation in businesses throughout Australia. St George Bank head of small and medium enterprises Chris Screen said he was impressed with the calibre of home-based entrepreneurs he met during the conference and at the awards ceremony.
“They are sitting in their homes in freezing conditions because they simply can’t afford to price of heating. That’s an appalling situation and a damning indictment on our society’s priorities. “These are our senior citizens, the most vulnerable members of our community, and they can’t even afford heating – a basic necessity.” Energy bills are now typically well over $100 a week for peninsula homes. For lower income households, covering theses costs often means going without other basic necessities, such as food, clothes. The annual reports of the Essential Services Commission and the Energy and Water Ombudsman, released this month, reveal an alarming rise in the number of households being disconnected, with a doubling in the number of cases of wrongful disconnection. Victorian Council of Social Services CEO Emma King said the “unscrupulous practices” of energy retailers in dealing with customers in financial distress was exacerbating the impact of hefty price rises. She said the “massive increase” in energy customers seeking help from the ombudsman to deal with disconnection, payment difficulties, or debt collection showed that energy costs were now out of reach for more and more households, and that energy retailers were failing to meet their obligations in the supply of these essential services. “The growing number of complaints
about disconnections highlights the unscrupulous practices and cavalier attitudes of energy retailers who are failing to adequately identify and support consumers who experience difficulty paying their bills,” Ms King said. “Victoria’s retail energy industry is not meeting community expectations in the supply of these essential services and the time has come to strengthen regulatory oversight of the industry.” Mornington Community Information and Support Centre financial support worker Yvonne Anderson said households experiencing financial difficulty meeting the cost of bill needed to contact their utility provider at the earliest possible time. “We’ve found that [the companies] will listen and do what they can to help, so long as the costumer keeps in contact and comes to a suitable affordable repayment arrangement,” Ms Anderson said. “The key is to make sure that you speak to their financial hardship department – and that once you enter into an agreement, you stick to the payments. “They’ll often provide concessions and affordable plans, but customers really need to stick to their side of the agreement as well, such as staying in contact and calling at an agreed time.” However, Ms Anderson agreed that the overall cost of energy was proving to be increasingly unsustainable for more households.

Tale of two ports in debate Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au BOTH major political parties agree a second major Victorian container port will definitely be built and that any port will have a significant environmental impact on its surrounds. But that was the closest Ports Minister David Hodgett and his shadow counterpart, the ALP’s Natalie Hutchins, came to agreement at an at times charged debate in Hastings this month. Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins squared off at the Hastings Community Hub in front of an audience of about 150 people, including politicians, residents, community groups and businesspeople. The Coalition state government is committed to Hastings as the location of Victoria’s second major port. Labor is pushing for a port at Bay West, near Geelong. The state government believes Hastings is a “natural deepwater port� so less dredging would be needed than at Bay West. Labor argues a lack of road and rail infrastructure in Western Port makes an expanded Port of Hastings not viable. Ms Hutchins said Labor would establish an independent body, Infrastructure Victoria, if it wins government next month to assess major infrastructure projects. Infrastructure Victoria would independently advise on the best location for a second container port. She said a second container port “is not likely to be required for another 25 years� so it was important to take more time to ensure the correct decision is

made to consider “environmental sensitivitiesâ€?, especially since a container port at Hastings in Western Port, which is within a listed Ramsar site, could put “about 5000 full-time [ecotourism] jobsâ€?, including those at Phillip Island, at risk. “An independent body needs to take a step back, have the politics taken out of it, have the environmental reports put on the table, have all of the assessment public, not hidden in‌ secret government reports.â€? Mr Hodgett accused Labor of “playing politicsâ€? with the port expansion decision and said former Labor ports minister Tim Pallas had been “a championâ€? for Hastings as the state’s second container port. “Tim Pallas gave a ringing endorsement of Hastings as the best option and your current position is only going
to prolong the inevitable and you will then build a port here after you’ve gone through some sort of process for 12 to 18 months with Infrastructure Victoria,â€? Mr Hodgett said. Mr Hodgett said “about 100â€? employees and contractors at the Hastings office of the Port of Hastings Development Authority would lose their jobs if Labor did not proceed with the Hastings port expansion and Labor “would be turning your backs on the thousands of jobs that would be created in the south east by the port despite knowing it is the best option.â€? Ms Hutchins said Labor would “look at other opportunities for the regionâ€? if it wins government. “I think there are some real opportunities for this region in relation to regional cruising which is a successful business growing at 20 per cent in other states‌

where you prioritise the domestic market of cruise ships and bring them into regions such as this which have fantastic ecotourism opportunities,â€? she said. Mr Hodgett raised the spectre of a port at Hastings being used to import and export bitumen or coal if a container port failed to eventuate. “What else will they [Labor] look at to import and export through Hastings? Will it be bitumen, bulk chemicals, coal or urea?â€? he asked. Boral Asphalt dropped plans in 2011 to build a bitumen plant in Crib Point amid a community backlash and opposition from the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Then Labor planning minister Justin Madden had granted Boral a permit to build the plant. Perhaps the most fiery exchange between Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins came when the shadow ports spokeswoman claimed the ports minister, the Premier and trucking magnate Lindsay Fox “as a property developerâ€? had visited a major shipping company to discuss using Hastings as a container port. “I have never gone to see a shipping company with the Premier... that’s factually incorrect,â€? Mr Hodgett said. ď Ž The Hastings debate on Monday 13 October was hosted by the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry and moderated by former Hastings police Inspector Gordon Charteris. Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins also debated the location of a second container port at a community event in Geelong on Monday 6 October.
Eat with volunteers IF you love cooking - and the companionship of a delicious shared meal - then a new Brotherhood of St Laurence social eating service may appeal. The Brotherhood is calling for volunteers to help with its Dine IN program. Designed to help build older people’s friendships and sense of community around the sharing of food, Dine IN volunteers from Rosebud and Mornington will host a roast dinner or a small Sunday lunch in their own home for three to six people. Another volunteer will help prepare the food and collect the groceries, and then converse with guests. The Brotherhood's Michael Hillier said the charity would pay for all ingredients, as well as gas and electricity costs. ''Dine IN is a great way to connect and help make a difference in isolated seniors' lives," he said. "We're trialling it in Rosebud and Mornington where older people participating will be carefully selected. "They must be independent with their mobility and care needs. Volunteers will receive training and support." The Brotherhood is holding an information day 10am-noon, Thursday 6 November, at the Mornington Community Information Centre, and 10am-noon, Friday 7 November, at Rosebud library.

Holiday memories: Briars ward councillors Anne Shaw and Bev Colomb at Mornington library with a Postcards display – on show until 16 November.
Postcards arrives at Mornington THE Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula touring exhibition at Mornington library has won a prize at this year's Victorian Community History Awards as part of History Week 2014. The award for outstanding entry was given by the Public Record Office of Victoria and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. The exhibition - on show until 16 November - is about the early history of some of the peninsula’s most popular holiday spots, and explores a time when holidaying was a grand pastime and
memories were shared by the iconic postcard. To create the exhibition the peninsula’s eight historical societies gathered special objects, images and oral histories from Mornington, Rye, Balnarring, Sorrento, Hastings, Somerville, Dromana and Flinders. The show has already been to the Sorrento museum and Frankston library. After Mornington it will go to Coolart Wetlands, Somers from 22 November to 25 January, and then the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, Melbourne from 2 February to 9 March.

LETTERS Fond memories I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula for 45 years and my memories of rosebud are the swimming pool, Peninsula Gardens, Putt Putt in Rosebud West with pinball machines and trampolines, the fauna park at Arthurs Seat, the Sorrento aquarium, the roller-skating rink and the Arthurs Seat chairlift. Sadly, all are gone. What has Mornington Peninsula Shire done to replace our entertainment? Nothing. But it has provided a bowling green foreshore. Let’s take our children to the dozens of wineries, or play at the nursing homes and retirement villages that seem to pop up everywhere. Local enterprise such as owners of the Enchanted Maze, Boneo maze and the strawberry farm have had the foresight to invest in tourism and employ dozens of local children every weekend. All these businesses have promoted family fun and local employment and memories that need to be cherished. And in the future, if not for the developers of the Arthurs Seat chairlift, despite being blocked at every turn, we would have to drag our children off to wineries and restaurants for entertainment. The pool [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre] shouldn’t be at Wannaue Place. What about residents that live nearby, what about the small business that has to find somewhere else to go, what about families with mortgage, can they find work? Is there going to be a sound proof shell over the top of the pool to lessen the noise? What about the parking and the influx of traffic? Have [councillors] not seen Rosebud centre on pension day or at holiday times throughout the year. The pool should be on the foreshore where there is access for everyone. People with disabilities shouldn’t
have to go to Hastings. The pool that was built on the foreshore is still there. It was not removed, just buried on the original site. The anti-pool supporters need to focus on what’s important for Rosebud. I don’t understand how [councillors] have supported the Nepean ward - you can see how beautiful Portsea to Rye are - why shouldn’t Rosebud have the same. Why don’t they support the Rosebud yacht club and get that looking nice or getting the (heritage listed) soundshell looking good, as I know they have done a great job with friends of the foreshore at McCrae. Anti-pool politics are preventing Rosebud and surrounding areas from becoming the thriving, healthy and proud community it should be. Kellie Boland, Rosebud
Petition ignored I refer to John Cain's letter (‘Inland answer’, Letters, The News 14/10/14.) What page(s) of the Victorian Coastal Plan Strategy 2014 is he quoting from? Rather than write the contents of pages 52,56,65 he should do his own research. The sound logical reasons SPA should be on the Point Nepean Rd site: 1. It provides the highest degree of accessibility by public transport seven days a week 2. Established road infrastructure. 3. No in use buildings will have to be demolished. 4. Has high visibility to the largest number of potential users. 5. Clear of residential areas. 6. Traffic management access. 7. Parking - more than adequate. 8. Within the guidelines of a major activity node. However, due to the [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors' numbers
game on 13 October the petitions signed by ratepayers shire wide were not taken into consideration. Again, the majority of ratepayers are dismayed with council's decision and social justice has gone. Betty Preston, Rosebud
Lease objection We wish to raise our strong objection in respect of the proposed changes to the leasing arrangements to a large area of the Quarantine station at Point Nepean National Park. The objection is based on the following: 1. This proposal will destroy the environmental, cultural and heritage nature of the area and remove the amenities from the community of Victoria. 2. The proposal has been inadequately presented for full consideration by the community at large as well as poorly advertised. 3. The approval has been secretive and fast tracked and a 99-year lease is totally inappropriate. 4. The proposal by use of Special Use Zone provisions allows high rise buildings and subdivision with interference of the public to the area. 5. There are implications to the coastal woodlands and local animals. This matter should be arrested and reconsidered and proper consultation initiated. Moreen and John Wiseman, Port Melbourne
Vote for change If the past 20 years of Liberal MPs are any indication, things will only get worse, people will keep struggling and our community will get even more behind and neglected. We have the chance to change this at the 29 November state election by
voting for someone different. There are so many issues down here that have dragged on for decades and needed urgent attention years ago. The Liberal MPs have become too complacent and are taking us for granted. Good people across the electorate have been trying for decades and contributed thousands of hours to trying to make improvements or address issues in their local area. Just ask, how long have we had public transport problems? It’s not news to anyone. And now instead of improvements, we have to get off the train and run across platforms to get to Melbourne. The story is always the same: we miss out on funding that seems to go everywhere else but the peninsula. We are told by our Liberal MPs that our issues are “not a priority” and despite years of phone calls, letters and even face to face meetings, the stonewalling continues and absolutely nothing eventuates. We do however, get thousands of dollars worth of taxpayers’ money spent on glossy brochures with lots of pictures shaking hands and turning up to photo opportunities, trying to convince us our Liberal MPs are “working hard”. In real life, if you worked hard for one day, quite apart from 20 years, but got no results, you would get the sack. The major moves under the Liberals down here seem focused on raising medical and education costs, and closing, privatising or relocating essential services to Frankston. How are especially elderly or unwell people, and families with young children supposed to get to Frankston with our appalling transport system? I wouldn’t call this looking after the community. Instead, the Liberals seem bent on making life harder for those with very little, and a field day for the rich. No one is in any doubt of how hard they are pushing to back inappropriate
commercial developments that exploit national parks and lock out the public. Just look at what is happening with Point Nepean and Arthur’s Seat. The choice is simple – if you want this to continue, keep voting Liberal. If you want things to change, make your vote count for something. Give someone else a go and vote for someone else on 29 November. Aija Dowling, Flinders
Preserve parkland Shame on you [state Environment Minister] Ryan Smith. The thought of substituting high-rise buildings and housing subdivisions for that sacred area of moonah woodland at Point Nepean horrifies me. Our parkland is sacred and more so this heritage area of parkland. I agree wholeheartedly with the Victorian National Parks Association that “the current planning process for the Quarantine station should be stopped and a proper one introduced that will ensure the protection of the site’s environmental, cultural and built heritage values.” Doris (‘Paddy’) Richards, West Rosebud
Regulate reduction Previously, despite proof to the contrary, [Prime Minister] Tony [Abbott] insisted the RET [renewable energy target] caused an increase in electricity prices. So now, why doesn’t he regulate electricity price reduction, so that, obviously, we’ll be more competitive and use more, which means that electricity suppliers will make at least as much, if not more profit, than previously? [Former prime minister] Gough Whitlam made us proud and confident. Tony makes us ashamed and paranoid. Bernie McComb, Cowes
Online service enhances aged health care OLDER residents on the peninsula are reportedly saving time, expense and the stress of travelling to face-to-face appointments by turning to online video consultations for their specialist healthcare needs. The consultations, through Anywhere Healthcare and called telehealth, are being accessed by 24 aged care facilities in Victoria, includ-
ing the peninsula, enabling elderly patients to access the care of specialists via video link. The service is run by Medibank. Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local said telehealth consultations were “making a real difference to elderly residents”. Anywhere Healthcare director Samuel Holt said the service was
enhancing the care of thousands of older people, and providing certainty around their healthcare needs. He said a national survey of nursing homes registered with Anywhere Healthcare found strong support for the service. Aged care connections project officer with FMPML Tracy McNeair said the Anywhere Healthcare service

had enabled residents to quickly access specialist medical care. “Residents who are frail or unable to travel can now access specialist support ‘at home’ without experiencing the distress associated with being transported to a clinic, which can lead to disorientation, exhaustion and falls or exposure to infections,” she said. “The resident is, instead, supported
by familiar facility staff, and their family can add value by providing an accurate history and information on behaviours.” For Anywhere Healthcare availability visit: anywherehealthcare.com.au Medibank Private is expected to list late next month, subject to market conditions. Stephen Taylor

Keep fishing, not trolling By Paul "Tracker" Pingiaro THE sensitive new age fisho. Anglers have become very conscious of social media, this is due to both a thirst for information and a driven desire to protect their right to fish. In a world where size matters and numbers are gold, information is key. Fishing reports, photos and shared information see anglers trawl the web in search of the upper hand for vital pieces of the puzzle. The fishing community is aware of the groups that want sustainable recreational fishing outlawed. Anglers posting photos of fish covered in blood or catches of large legal bags are often also berated by their peers as many in the fishing community see such media as forming fuel for the fringe green groups. Recreational fishing is a multi-billion dollar user pays industry. While it's formally policed, informally the fishing community is its toughest critic. Put simply, those in the fishing community understand their passion is a finite resource requiring proper management. That being said, people should remember that we are a society that bases legal principals on innocence until proven guilty. Accusing people of illegal acts can be defamatory and the fishing community needs to stand as one and not behave like trolls or keyboard warriors. The right to cast a line has become the Mornington Peninsula's favorite recreational pasttime. From September until May more than 10,000 participants, on average, will drown a bait each week.

So, keep fishing, keep within the limits, keep safe and keep it civil. From the bays – Port Phillip and Western Port - at the moment it's snapper, snapper, snapper. The red fever has taken hold and don't expect it to let up until late December. So many anglers are missing the "mark" as not every fish lives in 1921 metres of water. In fact, the really good bags have come in from 8-18.5 metres. In Port Phillip the snapper are following a gradient, 19m in Mt Martha, 18.5m Mornington, 18m Frankston, 16m Seaford, 10-12m Rickets Point and then 6-10m at Williamstown. It's a typical snapper season, the first for a while. In Western Port it's another typical classic season with good numbers of fish where they should be, including
Eagle Rock, Lysaghts and Rhyll. The water temperature is heating up and so is the bite. The snapper are going well both on the change of tide and run, it's just a matter of putting the right bait in the right place at the right time. While the red fever infects most anglers this time of year, don't forget squid, whiting, gummy shark and flathead are all on the bite as well and are equally responsive to the rise in water temperature. Tight line and calm seas. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

Friends and enemies in the garden DON’T shoot the messengers. That’s the sage word of advice concerning weeds and pests that can tell observant gardeners what’s happening in their realm, how to assess the health of the soil and the biology of plants and animals. Biological gardening is the next step in growing foods organically, and going beyond the removal of chemicals. Biological gardening aims to create a healthy biological system, naturally resistant to pests and diseases. Mornington Peninsula Shire will
host a workshop on biological gardening from 1-2.30pm, Saturday 8 November at The Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars. Those attending will learn how to grow healthy foods by observing how weeds, insects and diseases indicate the health, or otherwise, of a garden. To book for the Beyond organics workshop phone 5987 3078. Tea and coffee is available and notes will be provided. The coat is $15 per person. The Briars is at 450 Nepean Highway, Mt Martha.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Excitement as Melbourne Cup coming up Compiled by Melissa Hodge MR.W.J.Air, Specialist Optician Collins Street, will be visiting Mornington during November, and may be consulted at “Stella Maris”. Appointments made. *** THE “Herald” last week says Zephuron, the National winner, looks the picture of health. The chestnut has been allotted 11st 51b in the Cup steeplechase, and if present arrangements are adhered to he will meet his engagement in that event. He is likely to be ridden by A Hawkins. Zephuron is such a dashing jumper that it is always worth the money to see him striding over big fences. *** THIS month’s meeting of the Somerville Fruit Growers Association will be held on Monday next, when the following business will be transacted: Report of Conference by Mr F. N. Roper, fixing date of next show, and information re fruit crops. *** THE Hurdle Race at Moonee Valley, on Saturday last, was won by the top weight, Bill Brandon, by a long neck. The winner carried 10st 10lb, and started favorite at 6 to 4 against. The Moonee Valley Cup of 750 sovereigns was won in record time by Gladys, starting at 10 to 1 against. *** ON Tuesday next the Melbourne Cup will be run, for which the judge’s placing may be somewhat as follows: St Carwyne or Uncle Sam 1, Ulva’s
PAGE 52
Isle 2, Sylvanmore 3. *** THE hot weather experienced during this week has had the effect of causing snakes to become numerous, and caution will require to be exercised to avoid treading on the possibility of snakes. Rev. Mr Jackson despatched two already this week, in close proximity to his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at. Tanti, on Monday next, when there will be a good yarding of cattle and sheep. *** A CONCERT was held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday last in aid of the shelter shed for the State school. The principal part of the programme was contributed by members of St. Paul Club, Frankston. Cr Lloyd occupied the chair. The following ladies and gentlemen took part; Mrs Dodd, Mrs Ellis, Misses Bowell, Williams, D Stephenson, Messrs C. E, Dodd, J. Y Twyford. The programme was wound up by two farces, entitled “Love, the winner” and “The kiss in the dark” which were well received and heartily applauded. The fund will benefit to the extent of £2 5s. *** THERE is a considerable difference between a musical sound and a noise. A noise is an irregular first fast and then slow kind of thing. Most folk are so built that they
Mornington News 28 October 2014
would very much rather have the regular movement – the measured sound. They prefer music to a noise. In the Methodist Church, Frankston, the singing of the choir and congregation is usually good, and a distinct help to the services, but the congregation may look for an improvement in the musical part of the services, for a new organ has been installed. The instrument is a good one, and in the capable hands of Miss Sherlock will be heard to advantage. This young lady was in excellent voice Sunday night last, when she delighted the congregation with the solo, “Nearer my God to Thee.” On Sunday evening next, the Rev. R. Jackson will conduct the service, which will be of a musical character, *** THE adjourned meeting of the Frankston Athletics Club was held in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston on Friday evening last. Present Captain Sherlock (president, in the chair), Dr Maxwell, Mess’s May, Bates, Richardson, Dalman, McComb, Walker, Williams, Young, Wilcox, Chamberlin and Benson. Apologies were received for nonattendance from Dr Plowman, Messrs Picking, Hartland, Jolly, Oates Mosley, Ritchie, and Clements. The resignation of Mr Utber from the committee was accepted with regret, on the motion of Mr Bates, seconded by Mr Richardson. It was unanimously resolved that the sports meeting be held as usual on New Year’s Day, on the motion of Mr Rich-
ardson, seconded by Mr Bates. Captain Sherlock moved and Mr Dalman seconded, that Mr W. W. Young be appointed secretary to the club, in the place of Mr Benson, who had resigned owing to pressure of business, and that Mr Mark Williams’ offer to be assistant-secretary, accepted with thanks carried. On the motion of Mr Williams, seconded by Mr Richardson, it was decided that any profits arising out of the meeting should be donated to the local Patriotic Fund. *** CR Murphy, selected Labor Candidate for Mornington, addressed a public meeting in the Frankston Hall on Tuesday, October 27th, Mr Millard in the chair. The candidate, after some reference to the war and drought and their effect on the people’s minds, is causing considerable apathy in the coming State elections, proceeded to discuss and criticise the failure of the present Victorian Government to meet the necessity of the people in connection with closer settlement. The Government has made a miserable failure of their efforts to settle people on the land and the Closer Settlement Board Administration was, according to the report of the subcommittee appointed by Mr Watt to inquire into the settlers’ grievances, in a hopelessly involved and chaotic condition, and stood condemned by every person in authority, even the chairman of the Board himself, who stated that an apple cart would not be run on such
lines as the Closer Settlement Board was muddling along on. This condition of affairs in the most important department in the Public Service was certainly alarming, and when we consider the number of settlers who had failed to make a living on their holdings and had gone out of existence as factors in wealth production, it can easily be seen the amount of damage done to the State, financially and economically, as well as the severe injury done these settlers who were numbered by the hundred; practical and experienced farmers for the most part, who had been obliged to abandon their allotments after one, two or three years of struggling. At the present time the area unoccupied on estates purchased by the Board was 50,250 acres and valued at £431,000, most of which represented abandoned allotments. The arrears of settlers up to date to the Board amounted to £150,263. *** A MEETING was held in the Tyabb hall on Monday evening last in connection with the Tyabb annual picnic. Cr Alden occupied the chair. It was decided that a grand concert be held to raise funds for prizes, date of which is Friday, December 4th. Full particulars will be advertised later. The picnic will be held in the Tyabb Park on Wednesday, January 6th, 1915. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 October, 1914.
WHAT’S NEW ADVERTISING FEATURE
Toorak College student receives Women’s Health Award KATHERINE (Kate) Cosman, a Year 11 student at Toorak College in Mt Eliza, has been awarded the 2014 Senior Secondary Students Women’s Health Award by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG). Offered for the first time this year, the $1,000 award recognises outstanding achievement in literary writing on an issue in women’s health by students in their final three years of secondary school in Australia and New Zealand. The Award Committee was most impressed by the quality of the entries, which included a range of fictional and non-fictional pieces addressing women’s health issues such as abortion, eggdonors, fertility, Indigenous Women’s Health and prescription drug misuse. RANZCOG President, Professor Michael Permezel, presented Kate with the award in person at Toorak College on Tuesday, 9 September. Professor Permezel had high praise for Kate’s essay addressing the immensely important issue of ‘Obstetric Fistula’. “It remains a common cause of long term distress for women who give birth in countries with essentially no access to obstetric care. Although most common now in sub-Saharan Africa, it also occurs in some of the more remote areas of our near neighbours including Papua New Guinea.” Kate said researching and writing her winning essay has inspired her to try and make a difference to this serious women’s health problem. “I would really like to pursue this issue further by organising some sort of awareness and fundraising campaign within my school.” At the presentation, Professor Permezel also announced that from 2015
the prize will be named the Liam and Frankie Davison Award in memory of “an enormously popular and devoted couple who were lost in the MH17 air disaster over the Ukraine.” Liam Davison was a valued member of staff at RANZCOG, responsible for
e-Learning, and Frankie a teacher at Toorak College for many years. The RANZCOG Board, with the support of Liam and Frankie’s children, Milly and Sam, have decided to rename the award in recognition of Liam and Frankie’s shared passion for nurturing
and encouraging young writers, teaching and good literature, and in the hope that this will be the start of a meaningful legacy for Liam and Frankie. It is anticipated that the 2015 award will be advertised later this year, with the closing date for applications being
30 April 2015. An award was also made to Eloise Sims of Queen Margaret College (Wellington, New Zealand) for her submission on female genital mutilation. To read the winning entries, please visit the RANZCOG website.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Insolent, arrogant, incompetent? Awesome! By Stuart McCullough PERHAPS something was lost in translation. Or maybe Russian journalists are simply accustomed to telling people what they really think of them so long as said people are (a) not Vladimir Putin and (b) located somewhere on the other side of the earth. There’s no doubt about it – our Prime Minister has been comprehensively slagged off. In Cyrillic script, no less. Mr. Abbott was accused by Russian newspaper Pravda of ‘insolence, arrogance and incompetence’. It’s heady stuff. Some nations might go completely berserk in response to so energetic an attempt to disparage their leader. Not Australia. Even the most cursory glance at online comments showed many people were either falling over themselves to agree or were concerned that Pravda didn’t go quite far enough. It’s as if people assumed that news of the planned seven dollar Medicare co-payment had finally reached the Kremlin and that this was the inevitable denouncement. If we didn’t previously confuse Russia, our response to their transcontinental sledging has guaranteed their on-going befuddlement. We’re strange in that respect. The right to give our elected officials absolute hell is dear to us. Indeed, lampooning politicians is something of a national sport – it would be unpatriotic not to. We have the absolute freedom to needle anyone in public office. We’re lucky in that regard. In Russia, however, that kind of carry on can earn you a permanent holiday in

a Siberian Gulag or the ultimate short straw of being Vladimir Putin’s horse. (It’s a little known fact that the Russian oligarch’s favourite quadruped is a former dissident journalist dressed as a horse. Google the footage. That’s why the horse has a mullet.) Pity the folks in the Russian newspaper industry – they probably think they’ve struck a chord. How wrong they are.
Mornington News 28 October 2014
Fact is, our freedom to criticize the living bejesus out of anyone we like is lost on the folks at Pravda. Maybe this experience will teach them something about us. However, the lessons arising from this fiasco are not confined to the Northern hemisphere. To anyone who heard Pravda’s slurs and thought about grabbing the nearest virtual pitchfork
and joining in, dig a little deeper. Not content with merely giving Mr. Abbott a whack, Pravda went further. Much further. In fact, the same editorial went on to accuse all of us of having a ‘colonial chip’ on our collective shoulder. Fair enough, I suppose. It also referred to NATO as a terrorist organization. So far, so weird. Even if that outlandish claim garnered only a general shrug of the shoulders, it was then that Pravda really went for broke. According to Russia’s leading daily newspaper and premier greyhound racing form guide, we like to ‘crawl up the anatomy’ of our American friends. That is, if we aren’t already too busy sucking up to our colonial masters in England. That, dear Pravda, is a bridge too far. In fact, the words of a former PM spring to mind: fair suck of the sauce bottle. Now it’s clear to me. They’re not just having a crack at our Prime Minister. They’re having a red hot go at all of us. Suddenly a shirt front doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Sure, there’s an awkward touch of, ‘You. Me. Carpark. Now’ about it. But sometimes you’ve got to make a point. So while Tony Abbott is sizing up his Russian counterpart, I’d like to say a few things to Pravda. First of all, no one should attack our elected officials except us. It’s one thing for those of us who live here to tip a bucket on our Prime Minister, but it’s an egregious violation of our sovereign right to sink the slipper when foreign newspapers start to get in on the act. In fact, it’s a blatant attempt to cut our national lunch and I, for one,
won’t stand for it. If I want to refer to Mr. Abbott as a coconut husk with a pair of ears tied on, it’s my right as an Australian to do so. Pravda, on the other hand, should back off. It’s also worth remembering how this thing got started. In an interview with ABC, the Prime Minister dared suggest that Russia should co-operate with the MH17 investigation. There are plenty of times when our officials cause us to be embarrassed. It’s part of the job description. But not this time. This time he was, as it happens, speaking for all of us. We have another great tradition. Whenever someone calls us names, we adopt those insults and wear them as badges of honour. We should proudly claim Pravda’s slings and arrows as our own. So yes, we’re insolent. Yes, we’re arrogant. And YES, we’re incompetent (although you try assembling a flat-pack bookcase with nothing but pictures for instructions and an ‘Allan key’ as see how you get on). Maybe I’m upset over nothing. After all, it’s Pravda. I can always cancel my subscription. If we’d been attacked by the Australian Women’s Weekly or even Best Bets, that would be a worry. But Pravda? I don’t think so. According to the Internet, which is always right about these things, Pravda is the mouthpiece of Vladimir Putin. I, for one, am relieved. Now that his mouthpiece has been located, it can’t be too long before they find his shirt. Here’s hoping. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

With the Spring Racing Carnival now in full swing, thousands of racegoers will converge upon Mornington Racecourse to attend Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day. Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day features the $80,000 Peninsula Cup raced over 1600m and attracts around 12,000 stylish spectators, to experience the very best regional fashion, hospitality and racing. Off the track, a highlight of the day will be the exclusive Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field competition hosted by female jockey Casey Bruce who will be joined by Caitrin O’Rouke, the 2014 Face of Mornington Racing Club for a Q&A on the stage. A keen milliner and equestrian, Caitrin is an Irish beauty who was appointed to the coveted role due to her keen eye for racing fashion, outgoing personality and extreme passion for horseracing. With a $40,000 prize pool to be won the competition has newly revised their Fashion Duo’s category broadening it from couples to any two people – be it father and son, mother and daughter or any other combination of individuals of any age. Also returning to the stage are the coveted categories of Stylish Ladies 18-40, Stylish Ladies 40+ and Stylish Gentlemen. Overseen by a panel of fashion, media and celebrity identities, participants will be encouraged to showcase the very best in elegant spring racing style and millinery as they are judged on their overall outfit, accessories and attention to detail. The day has a range of free activities to suit the entire family including a face painting and a jumping castle to entertain racing’s littlest fans. What’s more, there will be array of dining options on offer, enabling racegoers to enjoy the day in style and sophistication.

Mounties’ bowlers need to shine PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MT ELIZA’s bowlers will be hoping to be at the peak of their powers when they take to the field against Sorrento this Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket. After winning the toss and batting at David McFarlin Reserve on Saturday, the Mounties batted first and racked up 9/228 in their 80 overs. Ben Tracy made it two half centuries on the trot for the visitors with 70 runs while Luke Marshall batted higher up the order and contributed 40. Tristan Faithfull scored 30 before he became Nick Davern’s one and only victim and again, Jason Mathers was left with his wicket intact, having scored 44.
AJ King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, taking his second six-wicket haul in as many weeks. Whilst it wasn’t as good as his 6/28 against Rye in the last game, 6/53 from 25 overs was still a magnificent performance. Likewise at Lloyd Park, Mornington’s bowlers will need to produce something pretty special to restrict home team Langwarrin. However, despite making just 9/158 from its 80 overs, the Doggies are still in the box seat to win this match. Last season on two separate occasions, Mornington ripped through Langwarrin’s batting line-up. However, on Saturday, it was the Kangas’ bowlers who were in control. The spin twins of Dwayne Doig (2/55) and Jake D’Artri (1/35)
Blues in box seat against Carrum DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS is in the box seat to win its first game of the season in District cricket. Up against Carrum at Roy Dore Reserve, the Blues won the toss and skipper Timmy Birch had little hesitation in batting first. He needed at least one of his openers to score runs and Daniel Esler obliged, scoring 47, while Aaron Wilson played a very important role at three, making 31. Luke Hewitt and Birch have been the backbone of this side for a couple of seasons and they proved to be shining lights again. Hewitt scored 48 and Birch was still there at the end of the innings with an unbeaten 78, having hit 12 fours and a six. Brent McGill played a handy cameo role at the end of the innings, smashing a quick fire 31, which included two fours and two sixes. Liam Dobson was the pick of the Lions’ bowlers with 5/96 from 28 overs. Jackson Fry bowled just eight overs. Baden Powell is up against it in its match against Flinders. Winning the toss and batting first on their home deck, the Braves were bowled out for just 128. In a wonderful display of bowling, Matthew Burns bowled 26 overs, bowled nine maidens and finished with the extraordinary figures of 9/45. The only batsman Burns was unable to get out was Julian Pharaoh, who top scored for the Braves with 45. Max Royal upset Burns’ perfect day by claiming the wicket of Pharaoh, getting him caught behind. In reply, Tim Clarke is already back in the sheds for the Sharks after being run out. Flinders will resume on 1/8. Red Hill’s bowlers have plenty of work to do if they are to get the points against Delacombe Park. However, despite an unbeaten 106 from skipper Simon Dart, 192 doesn’t look enough against the Devils at the small Delacombe ground. Andrew Brown was the next highest scorer for the Hillmen, who

didn’t have any answers for the Devils’ Chris Brittain and Shane Deal. The home side skipper claimed 5/36 while Deal picked-up 3/39. Boneo is in all sorts of trouble yet again, this time against Seaford Tigers. Batting first, the Pandas scored just 9/145 in their 80 overs. Damian Smith came to the crease with the score at 5/81. The Pandas went from 3/80 to 6/81 in a blink of an eye. Smith faced 121 balls for his 35. Glen Petersen opened the batting and made 26 from 103 balls. Tom Burgdorf was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with 4/36, while David James helped himself to 3/19. Mt Martha has set Seaford 201 for victory after scoring 9/200in their 80 overs at Seaford Reserve. The Reds got some great service from Alex Mason at the top of the order, scoring 37 and Brett Wilkinson strolled to the crease with his side in some trouble at 5/83. He scored 51 and with the support of Brad Schreuder (34), they were able to push the score to a competitive total. Faisal Payenda was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/75 while Mathew Herbert claimed 3/19 from 17 overs. In the final match, Somerville is in a very commanding position against Main Ridge. The Eagles batted first on their home deck and scored 9/251with Leigh Lowry getting amongst the runs with 57 and all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz also getting 51. James Abbott bowled 20 overs for the Cougars and finished with figures of 3/41, including seven maidens. Lachlan Hay and Jason Albress each picked up two wickets.

bowled 50 overs between them and went for just 90 runs. Adrian Mack was also dominant, bowling 13 overs and finishing with 0/12. Brad McDonald was the best of the Mornington batsmen with 55, while Ben Clements made 32. Long Island is just 15 runs shy of winning its match against Moorooduc. The Ducs batted first on Saturday but were overwhelmed by the Islanders’ bowling attack. Bobby Wilson was the only batsman to get going for Moorooduc, scoring 36. Simon Dignan (2/10), Mike Reynolds (2/18), Scott Phillips (2/28) and Andrew Tweddle (2/36) were all on song for the Islanders. In reply, the home side was 4/89 at
stumps, Peter Connell the top scorer with 27. Ross Cordeux and Bobby Wilson had each claimed two wickets for the Ducs. Crib Point has set Pines 204 for victory in their match at Crib Point Reserve. Brad Davidson top scored for the Magpies with 70 while Jack Johnson finished unbeaten on 35 and Henry Dolphins scored 30 at the top of the order. Piners’ coach Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the bowlers with 5/60, while Sam Noden claimed 3/47 in his first senior game for the season. Peninsula Old Boys are in a commanding position in their match against Baxter after scoring 9/228. New skipper Matt Hyden was again
dominant for the Old Boys with 96, while Wade Pelzer scored 29. In the final game, Rye looks set to win its first match of the season against Heatherhill. The Demons batted first at Bruce Park on Saturday and scored an impressive 262. Andrew Hitchener top scored for the Demons with 54, James Crowe opened with 33 and Tommy Baron scored 32 batting at eight. Brad Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/69 while Brett Maxwell claimed 2/62. Jake Theobald and Steven O’Donnell each picked-up two wickets. In reply, the Hills are in some early trouble at 1/1.

Frogs’ bats hop to it in style SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK has set Balnarring a massive challenge in round three of MPCA Sub District cricket. The Frogs batted first on Saturday on their home deck and scored 9/255 in their 80 overs, setting the Saints a massive run chase to claim victory. The home side didn’t start well, losing both openers before the score had reached double figures. However, Matt Whelan and Ralston Keyt were bought together at the crease and shared a 70-run partnership before Whelan went for 35. Keyt went on to top score with 75. Skipper Gerard Clarke contributed 29 and Rob French 26 in the middle order while the tail had some wag, pushing the total beyond 250. Jacob Cook was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/69 from 20 overs while Justin Brown bowled 32 overs and finished with figures of 3/101.
Frankston YCW is on the verge of victory against Skye but one can’t help but think that there is still plenty of cricket left in this match. On day one of the clash at Peninsula Reserve, 15 wickets fell for the afternoon. Skye was bowled out for 71 after Paul Bradley (3/6), Andrew Kitson (3/15) and Adam Murihead (3/28) all claimed wickets. The Burras’ skipper Rob Gruar was the only batsman to make an impression with 26. In reply, the Stonecats are 5/98, Luke Hutchison the saviour with an unbeaten 51. Rosebud bowlers will need to be at their best to defend the 161 against Pearcedale. The evergreen Brad Glenn top scored for the Buds with 52 while Kane Donald was next best with 26. The Dales’ bowlers were in control, Shayne Gillings the pick of them with 4/44, while Chris Dew and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each. Dromana scored 168 against
Carrum Downs but their opponents look to be in the best position to win. Greg McCann top scored for the Hoppers with 45 while coach Mark Whitehead scored 27 and Jedd Savage 26. Shane Walford made it eight wickets for the season for the Cougars with 4/35 from 17 overs. Stuart Swift and Ryan Lynch each picked-up two wickets. In reply, the Cougars are in some early trouble at 2/29. Ballam Park will be looking for two wins on the trot when it defends 176 against Tyabb. Zac Pedderson top scored for the Kinights with 40 on Saturday while Jon Plakourakis scored 39. For the Yabbies, the best of the bowlers were Brodie Bennett, who claimed 4/39 and James Mathieson, who picked up 3/40. In reply, the Knights had six overs at the opposition and had them 1/8 at the close of play. Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor has overnight figures of 1/1 from Hastings bats against Delacombe Park in last week’s District match. Picture: Andrew Hurst three overs.
Casey pulls the pin, league in crisis FOOTBALL NEWS
By Toe Punt THE PCN Sports Alliance, which governs local football on the Mornington Peninsula, is in damage control after the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League sought to withdraw from their management. The nine CCFNL clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, are waiting on an invitation to a special meeting where they will seek exemption from Rule 14.1, which states 12 months’ notice must be given of the club’s intention to resign from the league. The clubs have raised points against PCNSA which include poor communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention. AFL Victoria Country’s have attempted to play mediator between the two parties, however, the CCFNL Clubs are sticking firm. The CCFNL clubs have sent a list of their grievances to both AFL Vic Country and PCNSA, with AFL Vic Country Football Manager Brett Connell and AFL South East Region General Manager Jeremy Bourke meeting last week with PCNSA Chairman Stuart Gilchrist and CEO Jeff Jones to discuss the club’s issues. Regardless of the talks, the clubs want nothing to do with PCNSA in 2015 as they look to break free and govern their own
competition. It is believed that AFL Vic Country’s intervention has come about after PCNSA raised concerns that the departure of the CCFNL clubs would have a serious impact on its operations going forward. Both Peninsula and Nepean League clubs expressed enormous concerns this season about the management and promotion of the league.
a statewide salary cap, although AFL Victoria said most of those not pushing for the cap were not opposed to it; rather they remained unsure. “The working party agrees that any salary cap mechanism needs to be tailored for specific regions to incorporate demographic and geographical challenges faced by individual
leagues across the state,” Reaper said. “It also understands a salary cap needs to be supported by other measures, such as a player points system or an alternative equalisation provision, to have the desired impact on escalating player payments, and must also be enforceable.”
Salary cap and Player Points IN further news, a salary cap and player points system for country and metropolitan football will be implemented across Victoria in 2016. AFL Victoria announced last Wednesday that it would trial a points system throughout Victoria next year, before implementing it for the 2016 season. The 32 clubs under the management of the PCN Sports Alliance were asked to respond to the proposal mid-year through the league offices but only two clubs responded. AFL Victoria will announce before Christmas where the trials will take place. AFL Victoria general manager Steven Reaper said the input from different football regions would be crucial before final guidelines would be announced. As part of the survey that was filled out by 369 clubs across Victoria, 83 per cent believed whatever changes were made needed to be implemented statewide. Around half of the clubs surveyed pushed for

Genesis the start of something big for Hyundai GENESIS, Hyundai’s new flagship luxury sedan, has achieved the highest score in the 21year history of ANCAP testing – 36.88 points out of a possible 37 and a maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating. A 5 star safety rating is ANCAP’s ultimate measure of vehicle safety protection for occupants and pedestrians. The demanding assessment includes a 64km/h frontal offset test and a 50km/h side impact test, along with a 29km/h pole test, a whiplash test simulating a 32km/h rear-end crash, and a 40km/h pedestrian impact protection test. A minimum number of active safety assist technologies (SATs) is also required.
The Genesis’ tally of 36.88 points includes a frontal offset score of 15.88 out of 16 and a side impact protection score of 16 out of 16. Genesis also scored 2 out of 2 in the pole test and a whiplash protection test rating of ‘good’. Structural integrity and strength has been a key priority of Hyundai Motor Company’s engineering teams since development of the new ‘DH’ model Genesis sedan began six years ago. The vehicle uses advanced high-strength steel throughout its body structure, and has been designed from the outset to pass the world’s most demanding crash tests. The Genesis will be launched in Australia next month.

Isuzu crews being helped by the Garland/Suzuki team have also come home well. The Thai-entered D-MAX crewed by Vorapot Bunchuaylua and Chupong Chaiwan came home in sixth and first in class, while the Isuzu MU-X being campaigned by Safari stalwart Reg Owen and co-driver Russell Cairns finished second in the same class and 13th outright. “We’ve ended up with a really great result with the team, and all the cars went really well – it’s just a fantastic feeling,” said Garland. “Today was unbelievable with the rain bucketing down. A whole lot of us got lost and then Steve Riley [who had been leading the event] got stuck in a ditch and a bunch of us helped pull him out. We got soaking wet and covered in mud, but we still had a good time. That’s what Safari is all about. “All of the Isuzu Motorsports vehicles were better off than so many of the others. They were all slipping and sliding all over the place today, or getting punctures all the time in the rough stuff, but our Toyo tyres do the job for us, no matter whether it’s wet or dry.” Competitors tackled three stages on the final day, taking them from Exmouth – the gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area – to Carnarvon, where the Gascoyne River meets the Indian Ocean, around 900km north of the West Australian capital of Perth. The final stage – the 156.69km ‘Murchison Mega Finale’, and a lengthy transport stage before it – took competitors from Carnarvon to Kalbarri, where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, 592km north of Perth. The celebrations – after seven days and more than 3000km of endurance racing – continued well into the night.
