Mossie spraying ‘on hold’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au EXPERTS are being asked for ways to control mosquitoes on the southern Mornington Peninsula using “alternative approaches to spraying” that will not harm the environment. The move by Mornington Peninsula

Shire councillors follows a packed public meeting on Saturday which highlighted residents’ concerns over a spraying program planned for October as part of studies into the flesh-eating Buruli ulcer. The spraying program will now be put on hold until more is known about the effect its chemicals will have on the environment.

“The mood of the meeting was that we all want to work towards eradicating Buruli ulcers on the peninsula, but do not wish to be the guinea pigs in a scientific trial of questionable value,” Paul Saunders said. Mr Saunders, who organised the meeting at Rye civic hall with fellow members of the peninsula branch of The Greens, Kelvin Stingle and Roslyn

Browning, said: “We stepped in where others had failed and created an information sharing event that the local community desperately needed.” The spraying in October of selected residential areas by scientists studying the spread of the ulcer may be abandoned or modified depending on the outcome of the shire’s search for “alternative approaches”.

‘Climate emergency’ on peninsula THE Mornington Peninsula may this week be declared to be facing a “climate emergency”. If adopted by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, the measure will see them develop an action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the effects of climate change. The decision follows the release over the weekend of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report which said that without massive changes to food production, cutting emissions from transport and industry would not be enough to avoid dangerous climate change. Cr Hugh Fraser says there is “widespread support” among councillors and among peninsula residents for declaration of a climate emergency. “It gives fresh momentum to council’s 2014 resolved commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2021 and to carry that commitment by example and education to the wider peninsula community,” he said. Two motions councillors were being asked to

support at Tuesday night’s meeting give CEO John Baker six months to draw up a climate emergency action plan and for the shire to lobby state and federal governments to legislate to “drive emergency action to reduce greenhouse gases and meet the lower target of the Paris Agreement (keep global warming below 1.5 degrees)”. Cr Fraser told The News that the Rye tip was the shire’s largest single contributor to greenhouse gases and declaring a climate emergency would give “fresh momentum to finding clean alternatives in waste disposal”. He said the state government held the key to “environmentally friendly waste alternatives to landfill” and should spend some of the $400 million collected in a waste tax from municipalities. Victorian councils to have already declared a climate emergency Darebin, Yarra, Moreland, Ballarat, Maribyrnong, Brimbank and the City of Melbourne. Interstate councils facing similar coastal

erosion problems as the peninsula which have also declared a climate emergency are Byron, Fremantle, Newcastle, Hobart, Kingborough and Noosa. Steps already being undertaken by Mornington Peninsula to reduce greenhouse gases include the use of electric vehicles by some senior officers and the mayor, Cr David Gill. Last month the shire committed to ending the use of single use plastics wherever possible on the peninsula (“Bid to end single use of plastics” The News 31/7/19). Under its carbon neutral policy, the shire has also installed solar panels and LED street lights. It is also a signatory to the global Covenant of Mayors which saw civic leaders throughout the world pledging to cut greenhouse emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change. As a member of the Cities Power Partnership the shire has also said it will “address renewable energy, sustainable transport and behaviour change initiatives”. Keith Platt

Continued from Page 1 Cr Gill said alternatives could include mosquito traps, an intensive public education campaign to reduce possible mosquito breeding grounds and use in water of a chemical that would kill only mosquito larvae. Cr Gill told The News it was now clear that there had been little or no research into the effects of spraying on the environment. The federal government has already committed $3.9 million towards fighting the Buruli ulcer and the shire will ask Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who is also the health minister, for more money after it decides what actions should be taken. After the meeting Mr Hunt repeated his earlier contention “that the shire has and maintains full authority over actions undertaken in its municipality”, including the Buruli study (“Public may decide ulcer study’s future” The News 6/8/19). “My advice to the meeting and the council is that they may want to consider moving to an opt-in program,” he said. Under the terms of the announced spraying program residents can opt out, so that their properties are not involved. “It was also good [at the meeting] to speak to locals about how to better educate physicians and diagnosticians on the ulcer and I look forward to working with the Victorian government and Victorian Department of Health and Human Services to further improve the information the state has and will make available,” Mr Hunt said. Councillors were caught off guard last month when they found out that three streets in Rye had already been sprayed with chemicals as part of the Buruli studies (“Ulcer study ‘now a trial’ – mayor” The News 31/7/19). The shire had previously appeared to be a minor player in the Buruli study and the shire officers involved did not tell councillors about the spraying conducted by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, the Doherty Institute, Barwon Health, Austin Health, the CSIRO, Agriculture Victoria and the University of Melbourne. Beekeeper Will Holmes told the public meeting that he threw away about $2000 worth of honey produced by colonies of bees he kept several streets away because he feared chemical contamination from the spraying. Background information provided to councillors this week said the planned spraying of “pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or other” in October was aimed at finding out how to manage mosquito populations and “one strong hypothesis [of] a link between some types of mosquito, possums and the ulcer”. However, the background paper stated that the shire was unaware of “any parallel examination of the impact that this spraying will have on the wider ecosystem”. “The shire is also unaware of any significant public consultation on the use of spraying for this trial that would ensure our community enter into this study with all the relevant information and have had their very real concerns considered properly,” the paper stated.

Call to stall 5G rollout on peninsula Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PUBLIC meeting in Mt Eliza tomorrow night (Wednesday 14 August) will canvas risks associated with the impending rollout of 5G telecommunications services on the Mornington Peninsula. “There are countries across the world, as well as states and shires, putting a stop to [5G] until it is proven to have no health risks,” organiser Judy O’Donnell said. “We are a group of concerned peninsula residents trying to educate everyone here, too.” “No research has proved 5G safe,” Ms O’Donnell said. However, scientists at the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency say radio waves used by the 5G network have been “thoroughly tested and found to have no negative impacts on human health”. Those invited to the meeting include Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill, councillors, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, the shire’s natural systems and native flora and fauna teams and Landcare groups. Ms O’Donnell said beekeepers’ associations, health food store proprietors, schools and kindergartens would all be impacted if the roll-out “is allowed to go ahead”. “Informed people worldwide are opposing 5G for environmental and health reasons,” she said. “5G as planned will increase radiation levels 10 to 100-fold, virtually overnight, everywhere. Basically, we

will all be walking around in a microwave smog.” Ms O’Donnell’s concerns are not shared by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, the federal government agency tasked with “protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation”. Its scientists conduct research and work with the international radiation science community to set standards and guidelines on radiation, the body’s website says. It works independently from other parts of government and is not financed by industry. “ARPANSA is aware that there is a lot of concerning misinformation circulating throughout the community about the

possible impacts of Australia’s planned roll-out of the 5G mobile network,” it says. “Contrary to some claims, there are no established health effects from the radio waves that the 5G network uses. “This network currently runs on radio waves similar to those used in the current 4G network and, in the future, will use radio waves with higher frequencies. It is important to note that higher frequencies do not mean higher or more intense exposure. Higher frequency radio waves are already used in security screening units at airports, police radar guns to check speed, remote sensors and in medicine. These uses have been thoroughly tested and found to have no negative im-

pacts on human health.” Ms O’Donnell said she first heard about electromagnetic frequency (EMF) sensitivity from friends suffering from wifi exposure. “They get headaches, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, brain fog, sleep problems, learning and memory disorders, heart problems when in shopping centres or are around too many mobile phones,” she said. “They have made their homes safe and protected sanctuaries to avoid it. “If 5G is rolled out, the whole planet will be in a blanket of microwave smog. We can choose to turn off our mobile phones, wifi routers and TVs, but we can’t turn off the towers which need to be placed so close together to work that

they will be on bus shelters, light poles, near schools, parks and our homes – so there goes our freedom of choice and human rights.” Ms O’Donnell said a free 5G global summit of scientists, doctors and engineers warned of adverse effects on people’s health and the environment. “The telecommunications industry has not shown it to be safe for our health or privacy and thousands of independent peer reviewed studies show the risks it presents,” she said. “In parts of Europe where it has been rolled out bees, birds and trees are dying near towers. It is clear that this type of electromagnetic frequency is disruptive to life biologically and environmentally.” Ms O’Donnell said “thousands of groups all over the world” are opposing it. “Some countries, such as Belgium, have blocked the rollout, saying they don’t want their citizens to be guinea pigs. “The telecommunications industry advertises it as faster downloads and smart technology, but it is much more. I love technology and run my businesses online, but if 5G is going to adversely affect human health and the environment, I say no.” The Presentation, Discussion and Action meeting will be at Norwood House, 1198 Nepean Highway, 7-9pm.

Confused about the right blinds for your home?

Costly outcome for rubbish dumpers MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has successfully prosecuted 11 rubbish dumpers in the past seven months, resulting in fines of $11,000. The shire says it is “continuing its zero-tolerance approach to illegally dumped rubbish” with 10 cases of aggravated littering and one local law breach being heard at Dromana Magistrates’ Court. Two tree loppers and five peninsula businesses were among those prosecuted in the cases which resulted in $11,459 in fines and $2313 in costs being recovered to help pay for clean-ups and offset statutory costs. The shire’s environment protection unit is getting tough on rubbish dumpers by boosting patrols at dumping hot spots with CCTV and covert cameras and gates, fences and bollards to prevent access to parks and reserves. The shire says all dumping incidents will be investigated with a view to prosecuting offenders. The council has also begun letterbox drops calling for residents to provide information about waste dumps, and rolled out the Dob-in-a-Dumper campaign to raise awareness of legal disposal methods. “Illegal dumping is a crime and can incur onthe-spot fines,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “Council will investigate all reported cases and prosecute dumpers with penalties of up to $9500.” Cr Gill said dumped waste posed a “serious threat to our wildlife and can lead to contamination of land, waterways and groundwater”. “It’s not hard to do the right thing with a long list of items able to be disposed of for little or no cost at our resource recovery centres, or use the

waste vouchers on rates notices to book a kerbside collection. “The recent disruption to the recycling industry is another reminder of how crucial it is [that] we all make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of waste we produce, and dispose of rubbish and recycling correctly.” The shire spends more than $700,000 a year cleaning up illegally dumped waste. A total of 4518 cases of illegal dumping have been reported in the past 12 months. “Hardworking ratepayers’ money could be put to much better use in our community,” Cr Gill said. The most commonly dumped items are mulch, green waste, hard waste, such as furniture and miscellaneous items, and tyres. Items that can be dropped off for free at the resource recovery centres include household recyclables, steel goods (excluding fridges and air conditioners), bikes, computers, TVs, paint (up to 100 litres), gas cylinders (up to 9kg); motor oil (up to 20 litres), fluorescent globes and tubes and batteries. Green waste can be taken to the resource recovery centres using waste vouchers or disposed of through the shire’s no-charge green waste events twice a year. For a full list of items you can dispose of for free, visit: mornpen.vic.gov.au/wasteguide Peninsula households can book free kerbside waste collections for green and hard waste on 5950 1406. Report dumpers at mornpen.vic.gov.au/dobinadumper or call 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000.

School upgrade STATE Education Minister James Merlino was at Red Hill Consolidated School last week ahead of a $3.2 million upgrade to the school’s buildings. While at the school with Nepean MP Chris Brayne Mr Merlino also had a look at the $1.7 million architect-designed modular building that replaced an asbestos filled building. The new building includes four general-purpose classrooms, outdoor learning spaces and a staff room. Mr Merlino said the upgrade was necessary “because you can’t deliver a first-rate education in second-rate classrooms”.

With Stephen Taylor

Doorknock follows shooting

POLICE conducted a doorknock of surrounding streets in the wake of a shooting at Capel Sound last week. They had rushed to the scene near Woodthorpe and Point Nepean roads about 2.55am after neighbours reported gunshots, Wednesday 7 August. A man in his 20s was found in the street with wounds to his legs. He was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. No arrests had been made by Friday afternoon and the investigation was said to be ongoing. Rosebud Senior Sergeant Jen McKenna said the doorknock was aimed at easing residents’ concerns after the shooting. “We understand that incidents like the one that occurred in Capel Sound today can have a significant impact on a tight-knit community,” she said. “The Capel Sound community can expect to see an increased presence with police conducting foot-and-mobile patrols over the next couple of days. “[They should] feel free to come and speak to us if they see us around. We are keen to speak to people in the community and address any concerns. “We want to reassure everyone that police are working hard to keep them safe.”

Arrested at Rye SOUTHERN Metro Divisional Response Unit police arrested a man during a raid at Rye on Wednesday 7 August. They allegedly found two firearms, two Tasers, ammunition and a quantity of methyl-amphetamine at the Browns Road property. A 49-year-old man was charged with two counts of being a prohibited person possessing a firearm, trafficking methyl-amphetamine, pos-

sessing ammunition, and five counts of possessing a prohibited weapon without authorisation. The man was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 16 August.

Ute, cash boxes stolen CASH boxes stolen from the Coles supermarket at McCrae Plaza said to contain a “significant” amount of money were found empty at Seaford wetlands and in Robinsons Road, Frankston, last week. At least two men are believed to have forced open roller doors to the supermarket using a long-handled jemmy bar before loading three cash boxes into a stolen Holden Crewman ute, 12.30am, Thursday 8 August. Earlier, the same men wearing gloves and hoodies are believed to have unsuccessfully attempted to force their way into Sorrento Cellars. The ute was found burnt-out at Cranbourne on Friday morning.

Reset tests drivers MORE than 1200 traffic offences were detected during the four-day Operation Reset, police said last week. Speeding topped the list of offences with 405 drivers nabbed: alarmingly, 320 were exceeding the limit by 10-25kph. Police conducted 11,758 preliminary breath tests and 499 drug tests and found 69 affected drivers during the operation which ran from Thursday 1 August-Sunday 4 August. Southern Metro Region Acting Commander Tony Silva said it was alarming to see the number of dangerous choices people continue to make when they get behind the wheel. “It’s a harsh reality … that every offence, be it speeding, drink or drug driving, or failure to wear

seatbelts, can take a life in a split second,” he said. “Poor driver behaviour on our roads continues to kill and injure family, friends and loved ones. “The operation may have finished but our focus to reset this behaviour on our roads remains.” Offences detected over the four days included 24 drink drivers, 45 drug drivers, 43 impounds, 61 mobile phone offences, 79 unlicensed drivers, 12 disqualified drivers, 12 seat belt offences, and 207 unregistered vehicles.

Phone charging A MT ELIZA man who had his car impounded for speeding and drug-driving at Langwarrin early Monday morning had devised a novel way of charging his mobile phone. The 38-year-old was running a lead from the battery, through an open side window and into the phone. Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said: “Most of us have a charging cord of some type in our cars for charging up our mobile phone. “When you drive a car that’s a bit of a wreck inside, and doesn’t have a functioning cigarette lighter socket, it can be a challenge though. “When you take illicit drugs you probably come up with what seem like good ideas and put them into practice as well.”

Cops with cameras POLICE at Dromana, Hastings, Mornington, Rosebud, Rye, Somerville and Sorrento will wear body cameras from next week. They will be among more than 11,000 cameras in use by 2020. The cameras will be worn by general duties and highway patrol police of the rank of

Looking for Andrew MISSING person Andrew Dymott, pictured, was last seen at a family barbecue at Mt Eliza in 1999. The qualified electrician was last seen by his father in the early afternoon walking to his car which was parked on the street. He did not return and has not been seen since. Mr Dymott, 47, is 180cm tall, medium build, brown hair, green eyes and fair complexion. During National Missing Persons Week 4-10 August his family was reminded it had been 20 years since they last saw their son and remain concerned for his safety and welfare. Police are encouraging those who have lost contact with their loved ones to let them know they are safe.

Money a vital boost for Wellness Pavilion ROSEBUD Secondary College’s $1 million Wellness Pavilion has received the final phase of its finance, meaning construction can now begin. Deputy Premier James Merlino and Nepean MP Chris Brayne visited the school in Eastbourne Road to announce the long-awaited $300,000 grant last week. The state’s contribution follows $300,000 announced in March by the federal government. “It was my hope when I announced the federal government’s $300,000 contribution in March that the Victorian government would join with the school, local families, the and local com-

munity to deliver a bipartisan approach to this project,” Flinders MP Greg Hunt said. “Their acceptance and funding, means the school can get to work delivering vital infrastructure to help improve youth mental health.” The state’s involvement was seen as a “big win” for Mr Brayne. “Since being elected in November, I have been made aware of projects that have been longstanding issues within our community,” he said. “The Wellness Pavilion has been one I have been advocating for since I first heard about it in February.”

The project has been a long-term goal of assistant principal Geoff Seletto, who has been working for more than four years to get it off the ground. “The community of the southern peninsula will be overjoyed that the fundraising phase to establish the Wellness Pavilion has now reached the $1 million mark and we can proceed towards building,” he said. “The real winners are our young people as this facility provides the opportunity for good people to do good work, and to build their skills for managing their mental health.”

claim the $100,000 winner’s cheque last week. He says he’s not sure what he will do with his prizemoney other than enjoying a European holiday with a mate.

Southern Peninsula News 14 August 2019

Residents win beach roads battle Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ST ANDREWS Beach residents have won their fight against a $10 million plan to improve their roads. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on 23 July voted against its engineers’ recommendation for a special charge scheme to “fully construct all the sub-standard roads in St Andrews Beach to a standard that is maintainable in the long-term”. The 10 kilometres of winding roads and grassy verges in the 1960s estate, between Sandy Road and St Andrews beach, will now stay as they are despite engineers slamming them as “poor, with no drainage infrastructure” and “approaching the end of their useful life”. In a report, the engineers stated several of the roads were “at a point where continuing with routine maintenance is not technically or economically viable and the remaining roads will reach this point at some stage in the future”. “For these roads to be kept in a safe and trafficable state they require, at least, major maintenance or complete construction … continuing with the current limited maintenance regime is not considered a viable solution.” The council’s contribution to the project was to be $3.53 million and the residents’ special charges levy $6.56 million. However, community opposition to the roads scheme has been evident since information sessions were held at St Andrews Beach hall in Septem-

ber last year. About 250-300 people heard presentations on issues surrounding the proposed project, studied concept plans and mulled over likely costs. A “large volume of feedback at the sessions and in correspondence” led to extensive volumes of material being developed and released on the project. A consultant was engaged to write up a survey on the project and run the discussion process between council and the residents. In the survey, residents were asked about their preferred design options for the roads as well as whether they were for or against the works. Of the 567 who participated, 298 – or 52.6 per cent – returned a “valid survey response”. Of these, 76.5 per cent were opposed and 23.5 per cent for. In a follow-up survey to hear “final comments”, 105 of the 172 responses cited cost concerns, saying council should pay for the works through rates; 35 said the council should install drainage only when and where required; and 30 described the project as unnecessary. A group of St Andrews Beach residents attended what was described as a “vitriolic” council meeting to press their point late last month. Their views were summed up by Anne Lee who asked: “Was it made clear in your briefing that hundreds of people at the two community information meetings were so vehemently against this proposal, saying they did not ask for the roads and that they choose to live here because of the non-suburban rural surrounds and the treed edges, many with sand dunes up to the edge, which readily drain rain away naturally?”

The mayor Cr David Gill said the process showed the council was listening to residents. “We went out 12 months before to consult with them because we felt that was the right thing to do,” he said. “The final decision was a win, win.” Former mayor Cr Bryan Payne, whose ward takes in St Andrews Beach, said the council’s decision to go against the road project was “simply maintaining democracy”.

“The clear majority of residents were against it so we said no,” he said. “Local government would not exist if it did not respond to the wishes of the community and the community has spoken. “I admire the residents who want to keep their village-type community.” Cr Kate Roper said the council’s stand against the roads’ project was “no surprise”. “Community sentiment was so strongly against it,” she said.

“About three-quarters of the residents didn’t want it and we represent the people. “Opposition to it was a clear thread all the way through – some didn’t want it even if we paid for it.” She said agreeing to the costly road works would have “opened up a can of worms”. “What about all the other coastal villages with deteriorating roads? Where would we draw the line?”

Safety conscious pool owners should not have to pay I have absolutely no objection to Mornington Peninsula Shire charging for inspecting safety of pools and spars (“New rules and costs for pools” The News 6/8/19). But I do object to reliable and cautious pool owners being challenged on safety and not just those who are neglectful. I feel the costs are outrageous. Pensioners are going cold hungry and are sick with worry as to where the next dollars is going to be sabotaged from their $900 dollars a fortnight. It seems to me that once you retire you’re on the downhill slope to heaven. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to work out that these charges are nothing but a money gathering rort. Without notice or consultation we are just told to cough up. I am quite sure that I am not the only person outraged by this highway robbery. I am sick and tired of people who have a pool being classified as “the top end of town”. Most people my age have worked hard all their lives. Mortgaged their homes to buy business and now, in the autumn of our years, we are persecuted to the eye teeth by bureaucratic injustice. Quite plainly no one gives a fig. This month’s South Eastern Water account was $32 for useage and $169 for charges and services. You wonder why people are angry. I will follow this story with interest. Noela Sexton, Mt Eliza Editor: Requirements for the three-yearly inspections to be undertaken by municipalities were made by the state government and follow a report by the Victorian Municipal Building Surveyors’ Group which found up to 90 per cent of pools breached safety rules.

United should pay I cannot understand why United Energy did not undertake preliminary work to achieve the connection without disruption to the Mt Martha traders, plus all the residents that were effected by this power blackout as they did on Thursday 25 July (“Power outage outrage” The News 30/7/19). Surely it could have pre-installed all the underground and any other infrastructure required before the connection to the mains supply on a day before the final connection. By doing so, all that they had to do was to make the main connection without very little disruption to the community on the day in which they did. In question is the capability of United Energy’s managers of this project as to whether they were qualified to undertake this type of work so as to not to disrupt the Mt Martha community. I sincerely hope that a class action may go ahead, as it is so obvious that United Energy has not acted in a very responsible manner which was illustrated by showing their complete arrogance towards its customers. It is my belief that United Energy should compensate all the Mt Martha traders for loss of revenue. This belief is owing to United Energy’s incompetence in not having the ability to plan a strategy to complete this work with very little disruption to the power supply of the Mt Martha community. Geoff King, Mt Martha

Speaking out I congratulate Mornington Peninsula Shire on the decision to let our elected representatives to reasonably freely speak their concerns (“Councillors clear to share their opinions” The News 7/8/19).

This is quite to the contrary of a recent High Court pronouncement on free speech in our public service. In conjunction with recent attacks on our media (print and electronic), and not to forget the relentless persecution of a whistle blower and his lawyer on the unconscionable behaviour of our spooks in East Timor under government instructions, I would say Australia is more than half way on the road to a police state. But this should not surprise us under a government that has a former policeman, Peter Dutton, as minister for security and Border Force. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

No denying change Climate deniers are still denying that climate change is not happening. The flat earth society is still looking for new recruits. Some of these people wouldn’t know the difference between an iceberg and an ice cube. They spout whatever the climate denier guru of the day imparts. Here are a few things I gleaned from the news over the past few days: Greenland’s ice sheet is melting so fast it has caused global sea levels to rise 0.05mm in just one month. Because of climate change, reindeer are starving to death in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago; Polar bears in the Artic are starving to death because global warming is melting the sea ice, forcing them to seek food in outlying villages and causing a state of emergency. Residents are frightened to leave their houses. Kindergartens are being reinforced with security fences to protect the kids. Because of global warming, tropical diseases such as dengue fever and malaria will travel south to us in Victoria as Australia warms up. There may have been temperature fluctuations all those thousands of years ago, but they weren’t helped along by human activity like they are today. The barrier reef is dying and, if the deniers travelled to Queensland, they would see the bleaching for themselves. Climate change is a fact but deniers won’t accept it until they have a property with a waterfront. John Cain, McCrae

Promises not forgotten Cliff Ellen should not fret about throwing the election promises brochure of [Liberal] Flinders MP Greg Hunt in the bin (“Forgotten promises” Letters 6/8/19). I can provide him with a copy of all the promises that Mr Hunt made at the 2019 federal election, an election where the federal member made more financial election promises than in the 2016, 2013 and 2010 elections combined. Since the state election last year in Nepean, our peninsula is finally getting the attention it deserves from its local representatives. Chris Brayne, Labor MP for Nepean

Disabled only I am disgusted with the behaviour of selfish, able bodied individuals who continue to use toilets for the disabled in shopping centres. These include males. These facilities are meant for people who have special needs and are not able to normal conveniences. They are not designed for others to spend extended time in to make mobile phone calls. Name and address supplied, Hastings

Gamblers not to blame Gambling, for the most part, in all forms, can best be described as excessive. Whether they win or lose (for now) those winnings are not fortune’s gift, they are baits, often a pathway to poverty, beggary, stripped penniless, and in want. Many, on a winning run, generous to a fault. Alas, a losing streak and subject to (often) severe mood changes, and the blame game, rarely themselves. A bit of fun they tell me. A mere $20 a day? Every day, or most days? Maybe one day a week? The big one, the impossible one, beckons, ever a dream, awaiting the lucky run around that invisible corner. We all count our own desires as right No judgement call, merely a comment. Cliff Ellen, Rye

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville soldier, Sgt Meldrum, returns from the war Compiled by Cameron McCullough SOMERVILLE extends congratulations to yet another returned soldier – Sgt A. Meldrum, who arrived by the Oxfordshire this week. Sgt Meldrum has been attached to the 8th Light Horse, and has been with them from the first, seeing service in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine. *** THE Westernport Progress Association moved in the matter of the reserved carriages of the 5.30pm Flinders Street, being rushed by passengers between Caulfield and Carrum to the discomfit of those beyond Baxter, for whom they were reserved. The result being that there is a lot of growling by those deposed and discomfit for those compelled to stand the greater part of the journey. *** COUNCIL Elections Nominations for the Council elections to be held on 28th August closed on Thursday. In the Frankston and Hastings Shire there will be contests in two ridings: Frankston Riding and Seaford Riding. Cr Turner was not opposed in the East Riding and Cr Longmuir enjoyed a similar honor in the Centre Riding. The nominations for the three vacancies in the Frankston Riding are the two retiring members, Crs Oates and Mason and Mr F. H. Wells and Mr J. Nott Marsh. In the new Riding of Seaford there are five candidates: Cr Hoare, whose office as a North Riding Councillor expired with the sub division, and Messrs W. Armstrong, J. B. Howell, W. H. Latham and H. J. McCulloch.

The coming contests are creating a good deal of public interest and the committees of the various candidates are working energetically to secure success at the poll. At Seaford on Saturday night a committee was formed to further the interests of the selected candidates Messrs W. Armstrong, J. B. Howell and W. H. Latham. The candidates named were present and marked enthusiasm was shown. Mr C. Hunter was appointed Chairman of Campaign Committee and Mr B. Wiltshire, secretary. The supporters of Cr Hoare and Mr H. J. McCulloch met at Seaford on Monday night and a committee was formed to secure the return of the gentlemen named. Mr F. Moffatt was elected Chairman of the election Committee and Mr W. Pitt, secretary. The reports presented indicated that gratifying support would be forthcoming for this Committee’s ticket which consists of Cr Hoare, Mr H. J. McCulloch and Mr W. H. Latham. *** MR F. N Fairs calls attention to his dental notice in this issue. Date of next visit at Somerville, Tuesday, August 19th. *** ON Monday evening at about 7 o’clock the Aurora Australis was visible in the Southern sky. The color of the sky as seen from Frankston ranged from a deep red glow to a pale pink and lasted for about ten minutes. The government astronomer states that the records of the magnetic

Instruments show that a very intense magnetic storm was associated with the aurora. *** THE Frankston Branch of the Victorian Protestant Federation have arranged a public meeting and social to take place in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Friday 22nd August. The promoters have been fortunate in securing the services of the past Chief President, Rev J. C. Farquhar, of Ballarat, who will be the principal speaker. The Misses Cromb of Melbourne will assist in the musical programme, and these popular vocalists are sure of a cordial welcome. The “Welcome Home” Orchestra will also assist. *** OWING to the original date fixed clashing with the Protestant Federation meeting, the “Wattle” club has extended the date of its plain and fancy ball till September 5th. Prizes are offered for the best fancy dress and most original dress for ladies and gentlemen. There must be at least three entries in each section and competitors must not be under 17 years of age. An excellent string band has been secured for the occasion. *** MR T. J. McMurtrie has been notified by the Minister of Repatriation that he has been appointed a member of the Repatriation Committee for the Shire, of Frankston and Hastings. *** MR Arthur Wilcox, President of the Frankston Branch of the Returned

Soldiers Association, is suffering from an attack of bronchitis, and will be unable to leave his room for several days. *** MR J. D. Jennings is recovering from an attack of influenza, but has not been able to resume his school duties up to the present. *** COUNCILLOR Edward Turner, enters upon his third term as representative of the East Riding. His was the only nomination received by Returning Officer Unthank on Thursday. *** CR W. Longmuir, who has been accorded a walk over in the Centre Riding, was first elected three years ago. *** A PLEASING event took place at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall last Saturday evening when a farewell social was tendered to Mrs F. Benson by the Wattle Club. Mrs Benson has always been an ardent club worker, and held the office of treasurer for a lengthy period. On the return of her husband from the front Mrs Benson removed to their home at Somerville, thus making it necessary for her to relinquish her office. Club members and the public generally were glad of the opportunity of showing appreciation of Mrs Benson’s efforts on behalf of the soldiers. The evening was devoted to dancing and music, followed by a very dainty supper. Mr Mark Brody presented Mrs Benson with a purse of money as

a small token of good will, and on behalf of all present wished her and her husband every joy and happiness as their future lot. *** Seaford It is stated that Mr McEntee has disposed of his Seaford business to Mr W. Armstrong. A meeting at the School Committee was held on Monday evening, when there were present Mr W. Armstrong (chairman), Messrs H. J. McCulloch, Howell, Moffatt, and Klauer and Mesdames Roche and Gleddon. Arising out of the Klauer-Bailey letters, in which Mr Klauer is alleged to have made uncomplimentary references to certain members of the school committee, a motion was tabled by Mr Moffat and seconded by Mr McCulloch, that Mr Klauer be asked to resign from the committee. The resolution was carried by 4 votes to 3. Mr Klauer intimated that he had no intention of resigning. *** TWO Young Lady Waitresses, wanted for Saturday and Sunday afternoons from now till Easter. Hours, 2 till 6.—Apply, Mrs Bradbury “The Fernery” Frankston. *** NOTICE is hereby given that Mr O. Wells has been appointed ranger for the Township of Frankston and area. Persons are cautioned against allowing Stock to wander over this area. JOHN E, JONES, Shire Secretary. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 August 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Curse of the Matinee Idle By Stuart McCullough There are certain words I’ve grown to like. ‘Express’ now warms my heart whereas, once, it’d have no impact at all. Similarly, ‘light’ means that instead of being stuck in gridlock that moves like a giant metal glacier, I’ll be home at a reasonable hour. Then there’s the word ‘matinee’. Just the sound of it makes me giddy with joy. By that, I don’t mean a ‘matinee jacket’ or ‘matinee idol’ but a ‘matinee performance.’ It is music to my ears that I can attend a live musical performance at a sensible hour and at which, funnily enough, there will be music to my ears as well as lights and, possibly, a t-shirt cannon. I have always loved going to gigs, but as time has gone on, I’ve found it harder and harder to stay up late enough. Consider this: most headline acts at a pub will start their set at 11pm or later. I can barely recall the last time I was awake at 11pm, much less leaving the house. It’s a rite of passage when you’re young. Attending a seedy venue with like-minded souls to see a band play at a god-awful hour is one of the great pleasures of young adulthood. By continuing to go to these events, I convinced myself that I’d kept touch with my indie-rock roots and that advancing years had not rendered my musical sensibilities completely redundant. But I’ve been kidding myself. Gradually, the number of musical performances I’ve attended has dwindled. More worryingly, these events are less likely to feature a guitar band playing at the Corner Hotel than they are to feature high school

students in a multi-purpose hall. Suffice to say, the last ‘gig’ I went to was a production of ‘Annie’ and it was in Cranbourne. I did not buy a t-shirt. I’ve seen some bands dozens of times. You Am I, the Fauves, Regurgitator and the Dirty Three – I’m amazed that they’ve not yet accused me of stalking them. If those names 14 August 2019

sound like a bunch of random words forced to share an Uber due to a twist of fate, I can’t help you. But they mean a lot to me. Suffice to say, I’ve stood in front of these groups countless times, grinning like an idiot and hanging off every shimmering note, thunderous riff and shredding solo they’ve seen fit to dish out.

But somewhere along the way, these groups ceased their perpetual circumnavigation of the country and played far less often. I, too, became much less reliable, preferring a comfortable night in even though that pretty much describes every night at this point. I broke up with live music without even realizing it. It happened gradually. I would buy tickets to shows and then not turn up. At the time of purchase, I fully intend to attend. But when the day arrives, the idea of going somewhere in the middle of the night and needing two days to recover seems incredibly unappealing. Neither my wife nor I want to be the first one to suggest it, but somewhere during the course of the day there’ll be a furtive glance, a nod or a wink and, before I know it, we’ve both agreed that binge-watching episodes of Game of Thrones is a better way to go. We were, perhaps, too excited when we saw it advertised. A gig at the Northcote Social Club – a place we’d once haunted – was hosting a matinee performance by Alex Lahey. A matinee! There would be no loss of sleep. We could watch live music and return home in time to do the ironing and sort out the recycling. What more could we ask for? We booked immediately. There were a few things we hadn’t taken into account. As a matinee performance it was, in fact, an all ages show; the term ‘all ages’ being somewhat misleading because what it really means is ‘14’. The room was full of young women attending their first ever gig, standing in huddles and

excitedly clutching phones. We stood somewhere near the back along with a row of parents. Some were clearly there under sufferance. Others were having the time of their lives, delighted to be out of the house even if it meant standing in a dark room with sweaty, excitable teenagers. In this same room, I had seen countless bands. But here I was, something of an outsider; cast to the fringe both figuratively and literally. Alex Lahey was, of course, excellent. The only awkward moment came when she said she was bringing a very special guest to the stage and I simply assumed she was referring to me. As I began to stride forwards, knocking over 14-year olds as I went, I was about to step onto the stage when another performer named ‘Gordi’ appeared. Gordi, whose album ‘Reservoir’ is quite excellent, was probably the better choice. Once the whole thing was over, we left the venue and were struck by sunshine. And people. Ordinarily, when you leave a music performance, the rest of the world is already sleeping. Instead, we joined the traffic on Punt Road and headed back over the river. It didn’t matter that it had been done in the middle of the afternoon; we had attended a real, live music performance and, accordingly, our status as indie rock music snobs remained gloriously intact. At least for now. This week I’m seeing Nick Cave. At 2pm. I couldn’t be happier. I will be joined by hundreds of others and I will be comforted by knowing that I…am… not…alone. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks secure top spot on ladder DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO have all but locked up the top spot on the ladder after a hard fought win against Mornington on Saturday. Sorrento made the big road trip to Alexandra Park keen to get a win over the bottom placed Bulldogs. A win would have kept them four points ahead of Pines on the ladder with just one game remaining in the season. Sorrento have a big percentage advantage over the Pythons, meaning top spot was theirs for the taking. The Sharks started well with a three goals to one first term, but the Bulldogs bit back in the second quarter. Heading into the main break, Mornington found themselves with a shock two point lead. Sorrento got things back under control in the third quarter, establishing a five goal buffer. That lead would be enough to see them go on to secure the win. The Sharks were helped by coach Luke Tapscott, who played brilliantly in the win. The tough midfielder booted six goals in a best on ground performance. Mornington gave their all in the first half but just weren’t strong enough to defeat Sorrento. The final score was 7.12 (54) to 13.10 (88).

The loss dooms Mornington to bottom place on the ladder. At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines got back on the winners board with a big win over Rosebud. Rosebud looked competitive early with a two goals to one first quarter, but they struggled for the rest of the day. The two goals the Buds kicked in the first term were their only two for the game. The Pythons worked their way into the contest and looked better with every passing quarter. Pines secured an impressive victory 10.10 (70) to 2.10 (22). Aaron Edwards was excellent for the Pythons, booting six goals. Bonbeach played host to Dromana on Saturday in what would prove to be a tight contest. The home side looked the better side early on, but were wasteful in front of goal. Bonbeach had eight scoring opportunities in the first quarter, but could only convert one of them into a goal. Dromana were more efficient in front of goal, punishing Bonbeach for their scoring woes. The Tigers went into the half time break with a narrow lead despite having half as many scoring shots. Bonbeach took back the lead heading into the final term, but were eventually overrun by Dromana. The Tigers

had to fight for it, but they eventually secured victory over Bonbeach 4.14 (38) to 6.6 (42). At Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza and Frankston YCW faced off in a scrappy contest. Mt Eliza were playing catch up all afternoon after going scoreless in the first term, Both sides had trouble finding goals all day, but the Stonecats looked the better side. YCW went into the final quarter with a three goal lead. Neither side managed to score a goal in the final term, meaning the Stonecats secured the win over the Redlegs 5.6 (36) to 8.6 (54). At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers got the win over EdithvaleAspendale. The Bombers looked the better side from the get go, and never let Edi-Asp get too close. Jarrad Grant showed his class with a brilliant game. He kicked four goals in a best on ground display. The Bombers ended up getting the win 11.11 (77) to 8.8 (56). With one game remaining for the year, the top five is decided. Sorrento, Pines, Dromana, Frankston YCW, and Bonbeach will compete in finals.

Hillmen enter finals in first DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn SOMERVILLE locked up a finals spot with a big win over Hastings on Saturday. The game was expected to be a close one, with both sides coming into the contest with an equal amount of wins. Somerville raced out of the blocks with a five goals to one first quarter, but the Blues wrestled back control in the second term. They were down by five at the main break. Somerville were the better side in the second half, holding Hastings to just one goal. It was a tough task at times, but Somerville eventually secured the win and clinched a finals berth with a 10.10 (70) to 5.9 (39) win. Paul Fermanis booted four goals for Somerville, while Brendan Fevola booted two for the Blues. Fevola ended up playing 10 games for the Blues this year for a return of 30 goals. At Lloyd Park, Red Hill locked up the top spot on the ladder in a low scoring scrap against Langwarrin. The Hillmen have got the majority of their wins for the year thanks to stunning defensive displays, and things were no different on Saturday. They held Langwarrin goalless in the first half, but they had their own struggles hitting the scoreboard. Red Hill managed just the one goal of their own in the first half. The game opened up a little more in the second half, and the Hillmen began to find form in front of goal. The Kangaroos struggled all day, and eventually succumbed to defeat against Red Hill 2.6 (18) to 7.7 (49). Red Hill’s win saw them finish the year on top of the ladder. Their biggest rivals and strongest challengers for the year have been Karingal, who were set to face Pearcedale at Ballam Park. Pearcedale have struggled badly all year, and the game looked to be a good opportunity for Karingal to get a confidence boosting win ahead of a premiership tilt. The day didn’t go to plan for the Bulls. They couldn’t get a big win before their finals cam-

paign kicked off, but they will be well rested. The clash between Karignal and Pearcedale was called off after a pipe burst underneath the ground in the reserves match. At the opposite end of the ladder, Crib Point were presented an opportunity to finally claw their way off the bottom if they could beat Tyabb. The Yabbies looked good early, and held the Magpies to just one behind in the first quarter. It looked as if it would be another difficult day for Crib Point, but they fought back after the first break. The Yabbies had their lead chipped back to just one point heading into half time. Both sides traded blows in a tight, tense third quarter. Heading into the final term both sides were level with nothing to separate them. The Magpies were desperate to get their second win for the year, and showed plenty of fight in the final term. They had to work for it but they eventually claimed a narrow win over Tyabb 10.8 (68) to 11.7 (73). The win sees the Magpies move up from the bottom of the ladder. Around the grounds, Devon Meadows came from behind to claim a good win over Chelsea. The final score read Chelsea 8.17 (65) to Devon Meadows 10.13 (73). At Belvedere Reserve, Seaford needed everything to go their way to make finals. They did their part by easily defeating Rye, but other results didn’t work in their favor. They defeated the Demons 13.10 (88) to 5.6 (36), but still fell just short of the top five. Red Hill, Karingal, Langwarrin, Chelsea, and Somerville will contest finals this year. Karingal will take on Langwarrin at Somerville on Saturday in the qualifying final. Chelsea take on Somerville at Alexandra Park on Sunday in an elimination clash.

‘Kaka’ for Fiji, Miller time again SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers midfielder Jordan “Kaka” Avraham is on the verge of making his international debut for the Fijian Olympic team. The 22-year-old has been playing in annual Fijian club tournaments for the past few years and competed in the Pacific Cup last November against teams from Fiji, Australia, New Zealand and the US. “Kaka” played for Western Sydney in that tournament and the coach of Western Sydney arranged for him to try out with the Fijian Olympic squad. The Fijian connection is through his father, Israel, and the young midfielder attended a two-week training camp earlier this season. He has been included in the final Fiji squad which will participate in the Oceania Confederation’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Suva and Lautoka from 21 September to 5 October. “Kaka” is due to fly to Fiji straight after Strikers’ final league match of the season on 7 September against South Springvale. He has the backing of Strikers’ senior coach Danny Verdun and senior midfielder Grant Lane who both rate him highly and the youngster can’t wait to be involved at that level. “I’m absolutely ecstatic, over-the-moon,” he said. “When it was first brought to my attention five years ago that I could actually represent my father’s country, a country that means so much to me, I didn’t think I’d end up where I am now.” The big news in local NPL ranks is the signing of Scott Miller last week as head coach of Langwarrin for the 2020 season. The former Fulham and Socceroo assistant joined Langy late last year and has agreed terms for a second successive season. “In Scott’s first year at Langy he has made a massive impact both on and off the field,” Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace said. In other NPL news a Football Victoria announcement last week means that Langwarrin now faces some strong local competition in NPL junior ranks. Mornington and Peninsula Strikers were among 12 new clubs licensed by FV to compete in next year’s NPL under-13, under-14, under-15 and under-16 competitions. Strikers are currently costing the venture with a view to cutting back significantly on NPL junior fees that can reach $2200 per player per season. “We are working as hard as we can to make NPL much more affordable compared to other clubs in the area,” club president Adrian Scalpi said. “Our goal is to make this affordable for families.” It’s rumoured that Mornington’s NPL player fees could be between $1500 and $1800 per player but like Strikers the club is yet to fix a figure. Mornington plans to offer six scholarships to junior players next year, two in subjunior ranks, two in community juniors and two in NPL juniors. In other news Baxter and Seaford United have held discussions about whether they will honour upcoming fixtures against State 4 South opponent Sandown Lions.

officially a home match for the Stingrays. A venue switch to Old Mentonians’ home ground was approved by Football Victoria’s competitions department effectively giving Old Mentonians two home games against the same opponent in the same season. Despite this slap in the face to the integrity of the competition Old Mentonians failed to take advantage. They led 2-0 with goals from Marcus Spivey in the 57th minute and leading scorer Rannesh Krishnan in the 75th minute. In the 87th minute Aspendale’s Kenan Nuhanovic broke through to reduce the arrears and a minute later Sam Timuska–Carr, who had dominated the midfield throughout, finished off a pass from Adrian Pace to make it 2-2. Aspendale’s best were Timuska-Carr, Jordy Athanassiou and Peter Dimopoulos. In State 1 Mornington’s away clash with Mazenod Victory was called off and no doubt Seaford United would have gladly accepted a similar fate in State 4 South instead of being hammered by league leader Rowville Eagles 10-3 at Park Ridge Reserve on Saturday. Harry McCartney reports that a Matthias Schwellinger double via a strike from the edge of the area and a header from a Dylan Waugh free kick had Seaford 2-0 up after eight minutes. In the 10th minute Ruben Ichim finished off a great run and cutback by Ali Madul to make it 2-1 and a Glen Farley own goal two minutes later tied the scores. In the 19th minute Ben Rigby’s shot put Rowville in front and three minutes later Waugh was brought down but the big man struck the resultant penalty against the crossbar passing up a great chance to level. Madul headed home from close range in the 39th minute and just before half-time Denny Bejan scored from a retaken penalty after Rigby had missed the first attempt but Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi was ruled to have moved by the assistant referee. Second half goals from Bejan, Ichim (2) and substitute Daniel Grigoruta (2) completed a dismal day for the visitors who could only offer a Tristan Stass volley in reply. In State 5 Rosebud lost 3-2 at home to Endeavour Hills Fire. Eid Sawari’s hat-trick was decisive with Rosebud’s goals coming from Chris Parry and Blake Hicks. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Southern Utd v Calder Utd (Monterey Reserve; under-12s 8.50am, under14s 10am, under-16s 11.30am, under-19s 1pm), Mornington v Beaumaris (Dallas Brooks Park), Brandon Park v Peninsula Strikers (Freeway Reserve), South Yarra v Skye Utd (Fawkner Park South), Diamond Valley Utd v Frankston Pines (Partingtons Flat), Sandown Lions v Seaford Utd (TBC), Noble Park Utd v Baxter (Parkfield Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Rosebud (Tyabb Central Reserve), Bunyip District v Aspendale Stingrays (Bunyip Recreation Reserve).

Both local clubs believe that they have a duty of care to their players, officials and supporters to ensure their protection after Sandown was involved in an onfield riot a fortnight back that led to the abandonment of its away match with Springvale City at Ross Reserve. The corresponding fixture between Seaford and Sandown at North Seaford Reserve earlier this season was marred by crowd trouble and police were called. Sandown is a Sudanese-supported club that has been challenging for the championship but now is the subject of Victoria Police and Football Victoria investigations into its part in the violence which erupted against Springvale City. It’s believed that Sandown senior coach Gavin Ithier and assistant Roy Kilner have resigned their posts. Seaford’s situation is complicated by the success of its reserves side currently vying for the championship and understandably the club is loathe to forfeit the fixture. However club sources say that player safety is paramount and given that Football Victoria may not have completed the judicial process by the time the fixtures have to be played it seems almost certain that both Baxter and Seaford have an important decision to make. It’s likely that both clubs will invite their players to vote on the matter. Meanwhile the highlights of the catch-up round just completed were Skye United’s win in State 3 South-East and Aspendale Stingrays’ comefrom-behind draw with Old Mentonians in State 5 South. Aspendale’s result is a major boost for the promotion hopes of Somerville Eagles.

Both Skye and Somerville now have their fate in their own hands for if they win their remaining games they should be promoted. Somerville has a points advantage over Old Mentonians while Skye has a significant goal difference advantage over third-placed Whitehorse United. Skye defeated Elwood City 3-0 at Skye Recreation Reserve last Thursday night. Skye was without Harrison Michaelis and Mikey Turner, who were serving one-match suspensions, as well as captain Jason Nowakowski (ill), however Alex Rojas and Maxi Avram both returned from injury. Young Marcus Anastasiou broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute after a cracking drive from just inside the area giving Skye the half-time lead. Despite being in control Skye missed two giltedged chances to build on the scoreline when Daniel Attard failed to convert from one-on-ones but Mitch Blake finished off his chance in the 65th minute at the third time of asking after Elwood goalkeeper Ben Paris parried the first two attempts. The game was wrapped up in the 80th minute when Mo Elhassan’s cross was turned into the net by the Elwood centre back. Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness praised the way his side bounced back from successive losses. “The lads could have very easily buried their head in the sand and just seen out the last five weeks of the season but there’s unbelievable morale in this team and we’ll take this promotion fight right to the end,” McGuinness said. Some Somerville players and coaching staff were among the spectators at Saturday’s match between Aspendale and Old Mentonians which was

Brooklyn Hustle primed for three-year-old campaign HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou ONE-TIME Blue Diamond Stakes favourite, Brooklyn Hustle, is primed for her racetrack return after taking out a trial at Cranbourne on Monday 5 August. The Jason Warren-trained filly jumped out smartly with the addition of a barrier blanket before kicking clear under jockey Ben Melham to comfortably win the eighth heat of the morning. The striking daughter of Starspangledbanner is set to kick off her three-year-old campaign in the Group Three Quezette Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 17 August. Brooklyn Hustle is expected to meet a strong field with the likes of the Anthony Freedman-trained and Blue Diamond Stakes winner, Lyre, potentially lining up as well as the Blue Diamond Stakes runner-up, Lankan Star. Mornington-based racehorse trainer Jason Warren believes the filly is ready to go for her first-up assignment. “She’s right on track,” Warren said. “I’m very happy with her. She will kick off in the Quezette and we’ll probably add the barrier blanket to her gear just to help her leave the gates a bit better. It worked well [in the trial]. “Ben (Melham) was pretty happy when he gave her a test, that everything we know is under the hood is still there.” Brooklyn Hustle made an explosive impression on debut at Moonee Val-

ley last year before finishing fifth in both the Group Two Blue Diamond Prelude and Group One Blue Diamond Stakes. Warren is hoping the talented filly

can continue to make improvement into her three-year-old season with the Group One Thousand Guineas a potential target in the spring. “She will be nominated,” he said of

the mile feature at Caulfield. “We’ll just see where we go after the Quezette. We won’t rule out a trip to Sydney for the Golden Rose. We’ll just see.”
