LIBERAL Greg Hunt easily retained his seat of Flinders in Saturday’s federal election.

Mr Hunt’s seventh win in a row helped the Scott Morrison-led Liberal National Coalition regain government for a third term.

A senior cabinet minister in the

previous government, Mr Hunt is expected to retain his position as health minister.

In the nine-candidate contest for Flinders, Mr Hunt, by late Monday morning, had received more than 46 per cent of primary votes, well ahead of his nearest rival, Labor’s Josh Sinclair, who was sitting on 25 per cent.

Coming third in the vote was now independent former Liberal MP for Chisholm, Julia Banks, with 14.55 per

cent, followed by the Greens’ Nathan Lesslie, 6.48 per cent; Christine McShane, United Australia Party, 2.36 per cent; James Persson, Animal Justice party, 2.23 per cent. Two former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, Reade Smith, Sustainable Australia, and Susie Beveridge, independent, and independent Harry Dreger all received less than one per cent of votes.

In neighbouring Dunkley, Labor’s Peta Murphy won the seat from Lib-

is an endeavour never taken lightly and they should be immensely proud of their achievements," he said.

During the early counting on Saturday night, with a “roomful of optimistic people” behind him, Mr Hunt told Channel 9 he was “very optimistic”, but shied away from claiming victory.

Within hours there were no doubts and his Labor opponent Josh Sinclair was congratulating him on his win.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Hunt’s seventh poll victory in a row Continued from Page 1 In an email that arrived at 2.39am Sunday, Mr Sinclair said he had called to congratulate Mr Hunt “a few moments ago”.

Mr Sinclair said he had “gotten to know Greg and his staff and volunteers quite well recently and I wish them nothing but success for the next three years”.

“Everyone who works in government or politics puts their heart into bettering our community and his office is no exception,” he said.

Mr Sinclair said the four per cent swing to Labor in Flinders “is the closest outcome this seat has seen since 1983”.

Mr Hunt was dogged throughout the five-week election campaign by leftist activist group Get Up, which took out advertisements reminders voters of his involvement in the attempted leadership coup by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.

The failed leadership bid led to Scott Morrison being elected prime minister.

Both Mr Dutton and Mr Hunt retained their portfolios and senior cabinet positions.

A voters’ poll taken on behalf of GetUp by Lonergan accurately predicted Mr Hunt would retain Flinders, albeit with a reduced margin.

The same certainty of Mr Hunt’s retention of Flinders was held by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill who, as well as issuing a statement of congratulations on Sunday, said the

shire was hopeful that commitments and promises made during the election campaign would be kept.

“Commitments and promises will now be followed up by council in order to help gain the best practical outcomes for the Mornington Peninsula municipality’s community,” Cr Gill stated.

He said there had been “a welcome emphasis” on the peninsula’s needs during the election.

Expectations were “high” that noticeable improvements would be seen in traffic safety, public transport, patient care, youth services, schools, “drought proofing” the peninsula, bike paths, environmental causes and for “the various community groups promised funding”.

Mr Hunt told The News that there was “a wonderful list of projects and commitments to deliver for the peninsula … including a national centre for coasts and climate at Point Nepean, new cancer services at Rosebud and Mornington, improvements to local roads like Jetty Road, Rosebud and working with the community to oppose AGL in Crib Point.”

Election commitments made by Mr Hunt include money for the Rye basketball courts; RM Hooper Pavilion; Point Leo SLSC; Somerville Bike Track; Barber Reserve; Western Port Biosphere; Hinterland Environmental Water Scheme business case; pedestrian upgrades in Balnarring; and Mt Martha North Beach.

LABOR’S Josh Sinclair, centre, was joined by family and friends as the vote count continued on Saturday night. His loss to sitting MP Greg Hunt was the second time Mr Sinclair has failed to unseat the long time incumbent.

Aero club baulks at flying hours cut Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Aero Club has withdrawn a request for Mornington Peninsula Shire to remove “church hour” restrictions on flights at Tyabb airfield.

Instead, it will apply directly to the Victorian Civil Administrative Authority.

The club’s application was to be considered at the council’s planning services meeting last night (Monday 20 May) but the aero club withdrew it citing concerns over the officers’ inclusion of a recommendation to also ban take-offs and landings from sunset on Saturday to 9am on Sunday.

The withdrawal of the application has forced the shire to move its meeting from Hastings to Rosebud.

The council had received 131 objections from 118 objectors and 355 letters in support of the application.

The withdrawal by the aero club of its planning permit application comes one month after the councillors ordered “a full legal review” of planning permits applying to the airfield.

The review must be completed by 30 June and include “the opinion of a fully instructed and suitably qualified and experienced in planning matters Queens Counsel with junior”.

The motion by Cr Julie Morris adopted by council on 20 March calls for three-monthly briefings by its officers on progress being made on

a master plan for the airfield and an aircraft noise management plan.

Before December, the officers must also report on all aspects of the airfield precinct plan and role of the Tyabb Airfield Community Reference Group.

Since 1965, flights from the club were banned 9.30-10.30am on Sundays to allow the All Saints Church in Tyabb to hold its Sunday services undisturbed. The restriction has continued since then even though the church ended its Sunday services in the 1970s.

“Only a few midweek funerals, a couple of afternoon weddings and christenings were held up until the late 1970s with next-to-no activity in the 1980s,” aero club president Jack Vevers said.

“The church was sold in 1991 and has become the Peacock cafe, which is a popular spot for the locals.”

Mr Vevers said the aero club had “not observed the church hour for more than 45 years in the full knowledge of the shire and the Tyabb Ratepayers Group”. But he said that lately a “couple of newcomers as well as the old anti-airport protesters have begun demanding that the shire enforce this condition”.

Shire planner David McPherson said in his report that the Sunday restricted hour provided “limited protection for the amenity of the community on Sunday mornings”.

“Rather than deleting the [Sunday hour] condition, it should be varied to be more in line with current EPA noise

guidelines to provide greater protection of amenity at the most sensitive time i.e. between sunset the night before and 9am Sunday,” he said.

“This is also consistent with current EPA noise standards for weekends.”

Mr Vevers said the club “could not legally or physically comply with the proposed condition.

He said the shire had “failed to consult with the aero club on the new condition in complete isolation [and] without understanding [our] operations – even though they are clearly outlined in the Tyabb Airfield Precinct Plan compiled by their own consultants – and without regard or understanding of the Air Navigation Regulations.”

‘Parking’ fine highlights need to fix boat ramp fees ‘debacle’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONFUSION remains over parking and launching fees at boat ramps on the Mornington Peninsula.

A boat owner was fined $81 last week for supposedly not paying a launching fee at Rye, prompting the Futurefish Foundation to label the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s management of its boat ramps a “debacle”.

The Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Channel 31’s “Talking Fishing” show last November that, if re-elected, the state government would run boat ramps on the peninsula, abolish fees, and establish a Better Boating Fund for boat ramp upgrades.

Six months later the shire is still waiting to have its role clarified.

“The [state government] said they were going to take over [the] boat ramps and we want them to get on with it,” the mayor Cr David Gill said (“No one at helm to control boat ramp” The News 15/5/19).

Cr Gill said the shire was “doing the right thing” by checking on and maintaining boat ramps to make sure they are safe for the public.

The shire’s director place Niall McDonagh said: “Yes, the shire has stopped processing boat ramp fees, and we await confirmation from the state government before we decommission the paid parking systems.”

Futurefish Foundation director David Kramer last week said he had “never read so much nonsense in my life” and criticised the shire for fining the boatie “even when he had a launching ticket”.

Mr Kramer has provided The News a copy of the boatie’s launch fee receipt for $14.50 issued by the Parkmobile app as proof of payment and a copy of the $81 fine issued by a local laws officer later that day.

He said while there was no physical ticket, the “parking officer should have access to the parking system to check registration plates and identify if a fee has been paid”.

“The shire continues to give recreational fishers good reason why they are incompetent at managing boat ramps and why the Victorian Minister for Boating needs to abolish boat ramp fees as soon as possible and take control of boat ramps,” he said.

“The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing when it comes to the shire charging boat ramp fees. “[It] is just unacceptable in this day and age of technology for shire officers [to be] handing out fines.

“It is very clear to me that the mayor is at the helm charging fees and fining people incorrectly: he is steering this ship with his eyes closed.”

Mr Kramer said he was “seeking an urgent meeting with the new CEO of Better Boating Victoria to ask when boat ramp fees will be scrapped as he expected fees to be scrapped by 1 July this year”.

“The sooner this mess is cleaned up the better,” he said.

The shire’s ramps include Schnapper Point, Fishermans Beach, Safety Beach, Rye, Sorrento and Hastings. Two sand ramps at Mt Martha and Flinders can be used by tractors and four-wheeldrives only. Other ramps include Tootgarook (managed by the Capel Sound foreshore committee) and Flinders (run by Parks Victoria).

Chorale performs MORNINGTON Peninsula Chorale will perform at the Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilson Road, Mornington, 7.30pm, Saturday 25 May, and 2.30pm, Sunday 2 June.

The chorale recently sang at Carnegie Hall, New York, and from there travelled to perform at Wellington, New Zealand. Last year they performed The Armed Man in Berlin with the UNESCO World Orchestra for Peace, along with choirs from 27 countries.

Toilet input

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill said the parking fine, left, would be rescinded if it was issued to a vehicle parked within the boat ramp’s car and trailer parking parking area.

MEMBERS of the community are being invited to provide feedback on plans to replace the old public toilet block at Buckley’s Rest, Safety Beach.

The mayor Cr David Gill said the block had “reached the end of its useful life and will be upgraded to provide an improved, modern design to service our community for many years to come”.

Plans are available to view and provide feedback online until Friday 31 May at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay Forms will be available in hard copy at the shire’s offices at Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville.

Closed car park adds to voter confusion Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AS if Rosebud’s pre-polling booth wasn’t busy enough, early voters also had to contend with the centre median car park being cloed for 36 hours last week.

“There has already been one vehicle accident outside the booth [at 1175 Point Nepean Road] because of the traffic and it is very difficult for voters to cross the road at this point,” one early voter complained.

“Questions need to be asked about why this work is being carried out at this difficult location at this important time.”

South East Water told The News it closed the car park to carry out “longplanned sewer operational works” between Fourth and Seventh avenues on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 May. General manager customer service Terry Schubach said the works were part of a “major upgrade to our Boneo water recycling plant which will support population growth, help protect the local environment and maximise recycled water production”.

He said affected shop owners had been told about the works in preceding days.

“When we became aware there was a pre-polling booth nearby, we brought in additional traffic management crews to make sure the increased number of pedestrians could safely cross our work area,” he said.

“We also had a member of our engagement team on site on Wednesday to speak with the people working at

Trucks, people: The busy road scene outside the Rosebud pre-polling booth. Picture: Yanni

and attending the pre-polling booth.

“Employees [there] advised us the works weren’t disturbing them.

We also didn’t receive any negative feedback from voters while we were on site.”

The pre-polling craze continued to surge ahead last week with estimates that more than a third of voters in

some seats had already cast their ballots and the numbers were expected to grow by the weekend.

Australian Electoral Commission figures showed Victoria continued to record the highest rate of pre-polling in the nation, with more than a quarter of those eligible casting their vote in the days leading up to the election.

Louvretec: The Architects Choice

In the seat of Flinders, where Liberal Health Minister Greg Hunt was facing a challenge from eight other candidates, including former colleague and MP for Chisholm Julia Banks, more than one-third of enrolled voters (41,000 people or 37 per cent of the roll), had voted when pre-poll centres closed on Wednesday.

Studies in health A PROGRAM called Hands on Health being run at Peninsula Health, Frankston, this week aims to increase the exposure of year 9-12 students from historically underrepresented backgrounds – such as Aboriginal, refugee and financially disadvantaged – to health careers.

Organiser Cynthia Mehboob said the program usually received “overwhelming response and application from students in families that can provide them with support in realising their goals and aspirations”.

“However, [this year] I have received a very limited number of applications from students from our target backgrounds,” she said.

“We would like to raise awareness about the program so that more students who can really use our help will apply.”

Ms Mehboob, from the Gukwonderuk unit at the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, at Monash University, said the program had four streams: year 9 Health Discovery Incursions; year 10 Hands on Health Discovery work experience; year 11 Experience UniStudent Life Program; and year 12 Road to Medicine Program.

In the year 9 sessions students from low socio economic status schools sit in on hour-long sessions on school premises, and in the year 10 discovery work students experience a clinical setting.

The year 11 UniStudent program was a “shadowing program” where year 11 students spend a day with medicine students on Monash's Clayton Campus, and the year 12 Road to Medicine Program as where students attend information sessions about the medicine entry test UCAT.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Citizen of the Year Josie Jones opened last week’s waste forum with presentations from community groups, waste industry representatives and shire officers sharing ideas on making their own beeswax wraps, joining a Beach Patrol Group, composting at home, and the upcoming electronic waste ban.

This second Waste Forum, held on Saturday 11 May, attracted more than 400 participants to Peninsula Community Theatre to hear what’s happening in the waste industry and how the council was working to address and improve current waste issues.

They heard how they could connect with local community groups and how they could make a difference and protect the environment.

This year’s theme: Our Waste Future, is being hailed a great success with calls for a bigger and better event next time.

ABC War on Waste presenter Craig Reucassel joined the mayor Cr David Gill and Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group CEO Rob Millard as guest panelists for the Q&A session, answering questions about the future of waste on the peninsula and the world.

The Dolphin Research Institute’s Mandy Robertson joined the panel for an in-depth discussion on the impacts of marine waste.

The forum coincided with the council’s development of its new waste strategy.

Cr Gill said the event was “positive, inspiring and a real demonstration of community passion”. “[It] was a fantastic showcase of the great work happening in our community and I’m thrilled with the overwhelming feedback calling for a bigger and grander event next time,” he said.

“We’re gathering a lot of strong community input on our waste strategy and improving public understanding of council’s role in the waste industry.

Public Tasting

Recycling back RECYCLED items are once again being collected from Mornington Peninsula households after the shock shutdown of processing services.

But the shire says a continued service from contractor SKM will “rely on a combined effort, including policy change from all levels of government, and correct recycling habits from the community”.

The mayor Cr David Gill welcomed the resumption of services but said the council had been “strongly advocating for urgent policy change in the recycling industry”.

He urged residents to be careful what they placed in the kerbside bins.

“It’s great to have our recycling back on the right track but, as a community, we can’t become complacent,” he said.

“Everyone should do their bit to ensure the correct items are placed in the bins which go to a materials recycling centre for sorting.

“Items should not be placed in plastic bags.

“We’re working closely with SKM to avoid any future disruptions and advocating to all governments for urgent solutions as well as reviewing our own processes.”

Awards recognise valued achievers MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is accepting nominations for awards which recognise a person, business, corporation or service that contributes to building a stronger community for seniors who live, work or visit the peninsula.

The Delys Sargeant Age-Friendly Awards aim to provide a public opportunity to recognise and value older people in the community.

They aim to promote respect, reduce ageism, and encourage an age-friendly community on the Mornington Peninsula.

Members of the community including older people and their friends, families and carers can nominate a person or organisations who actively demonstrate attitudes and actions which encourage these values.

“I encourage everyone to get involved by nominating an organisation or individual that is supporting our older people to remain healthy, active and independent across the peninsula,” he said.

“The awards are also open to younger people, businesses and clubs, with only a handful of categories exclusively for people aged over 50.”

The shire’s Positive Ageing steering committee chair Cr Antonella Celi said the awards were a valuable resource. “They are a great opportunity to celebrate the work being done by and for our senior community members and recognise their invaluable contribution to our local region.”

Nominations will be judged by a selection panel comprising representatives from the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Positive Ageing Steering Committee and the Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE). They close Tuesday 4 June.

Volunteers essential to local community

VOLUNTEERS have always played an important role in the delivery of services to our customers here at 39plus. Our varied range of social support and respite programs are designed to support the frail aged, people with a disability and carers across the “39” postcode and without our volunteer workforce our capacity to meet the demand for service would be greatly impacted.

Since our inception in 1982, our Medical Appointment Service has remained an essential resource for our local community. With the continued growth of the region and the demand for such services, 39plus has expanded its regional scope to include access to vital healthcare to destinations as far away as the inner-city suburbs of Melbourne. Without the dedication of our volunteer drivers who gladly offer their time and compassion to assist some of our communities most vulnerable members, the services personalised approach would cease to exist.

In addressing some of the health implications found to relate to social isolation, 39plus Social Support Groups serve as an important resource in combating community disengagement. “The Club” based at Eastbourne Rd in Rosebud is not only a place where our customers come together to enjoy a range of activities in the company of others but is home to some of our longest serving volunteers, some of whom have recently celebrated 20 years of continuous service to the organisation.

As many non-profit organisations would appreciate, the impact volunteers have on the lives of our customers and the organisation

as a whole, is immeasurable. The time and commitment given by volunteers is priceless and without these amazing people many services like ours we would be at a disadvantage.

Think Volunteering Southern Peninsula News

greatly appreciates all that you do!

If you are interested in volunteering, have time and compassion for others then please contact 39plus (03) 9017 3284 we’d love to welcome you to the family.

Thank you to our volunteers ‘I wanted to give something back to the community… ...this is the most rewarding and satisfying job I could ever ask for’

22 May 2019

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will join in National Volunteer Week celebrations from 20 – 26 May, to say thank you to the many thousands of volunteers on the Peninsula.

The Shire engages volunteers to deliver community services, including 160 volunteers through its Meals on Wheels program who deliver around 75,000 meals a year to people requiring additional support and the provision of a nutritious daily meal.

Shire Mayor Councillor David Gill expressed his gratitude for the many dedicated volunteers working across the community both independently and in partnership with the Shire to help deliver essential services.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to recognise and thank the incredible 25,000 people who volunteer to help our Peninsula community.

“I’m extremely proud to represent a Shire with so many dedicated and generous people.

“This year’s National Volunteer Week theme is ‘making a world of difference’ and I am certain our volunteers achieve this every day through the services and support that they provide.

“Our volunteers perform so many vital roles including: welfare, emergency, education and cultural services; delivering community programs; contributing as committee of management members for our community houses and managing environmental, sporting, and recreational facilities.

“I encourage anyone interested in volunteering your time to contact our team at Volunteering Mornington Peninsula and get started”, concluded Cr Gill.

To support both volunteers and organisations, the Shire maintains Volunteering Mornington Peninsula – a hub for community organisations to list their current volunteering vacancies and for volunteers to search a database of volunteering opportunities for one that meets their skills, experience and interests.

To list a volunteer position or to find a volunteering opportunity near you, visit: volmornpen.com.au or phone 1300 850 600.

CONFERENCE

Shining new lights on sport SPORTS ovals at Hastings and Red Hill as well as the Olympic Park soccer pitch and senior oval at Rosebud will light up in a staged program starting later this year.

The grounds are among 10 sporting reserves across the Mornington Peninsula to be earmarked as part of a $2.1 million lighting upgrade.

The cost will be split between the state government and the shire.

Other reserves to receive lighting upgrades in stage two (September 2020-February 2021) include Dromana Recreation Reserve, Dromana; Civic Reserve Athletics Track, Mornington; RM Hooper Reserve, Tuerong; Barber Reserve, Somerville; and AR and F Ditterich Reserve,

Main Ridge.

“We are constantly looking for ways to improve our sporting facilities and ensure they are meeting the needs of our community who will soon be able to enjoy playing on fields with state-of-the-art sports lighting,” the mayor Cr David Gill said.

“This project directly links to the council’s Sports Capacity Plan which aims to help guide strategic planning for the future provision of sports and sporting infrastructure throughout the peninsula.

“The sports growth lighting package will allow council to continue meeting the demands of these sports during both winter and summer months.”

Search continues for diesel spill source Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au EVIDENCE of a “spilled substance” – most likely diesel fuel – leaking out of a drain at Safety Beach has been traced as far upstream as Rainier Avenue, Dromana, but the source has not been identified at this stage, the EPA said last week.

The oily mess, which has been polluting the sand and seawater for at least the past 12 months, is most noticeable near the intersection of Marine Parade and Point Nepean Road, opposite a service station.

A second leak causes diesel odour to emanate from a smaller drain on the foreshore opposite another service station about one a kilometre away in Dromana.

Safety Beach resident Rob Debernardi sounded the alarm after bathing 20 metres from the nearest bathing box (“Diesel spill taints beach sand, water” The News 15/4/219). This prompted the EPA to send a work crew and arrange for Melbourne Water to set up booms to prevent any surface oil entering the bay. However, heavy rain a week later washed away the booms.

The EPA said plans for a further inspection on Friday 10 May were postponed due to “high volumes of storm water in the drain system”.

EPA crews returned to the drain last week but EPA Southern Metro Region manager Marleen Mathias said identifying the culprit was “not always straight-forward”.

“It is important no one jumps to any conclusions about where it is coming

On the nose: EPA officers inspected drains at Safety Beach, and another further inland, for signs of hydrocarbons, such as odours and sheens. Picture: Supplied

from,” she said.

“The drain system in the area is extensive and the role that groundwater plays could also be important.

“We understand the community’s frustrations and we look forward to their ongoing support in providing information that may help identify the

source so [that] appropriate action can be taken. In the meantime, EPA will continue to work with Melbourne Water and council.”

Ms Mathias said reports of hydrocarbon odours emanating from a drain at Dromana were a “separate issue” from those at Safety Beach. She said

the EPA was “taking action to resolve matters with a nearby service station”.

Asked how the EPA sets out to find the source of a leak, a spokesperson said one way was to open a drain cover and then go to the next drain cover along the line to “open and sniff inside”.

Another way is to test the flow going

through using a special dye, or sending up a machine to detect odours.

Contaminants contained in groundwater moving through the sub-soil can travel large distances before emerging, making identification of the source even more confusing, the spokesperson said.

Australia could be leading producer of hydrogen fuel We would like to clarify some points made by Rupert Steiner (“Hiding from Hydrogen” Letters 30/4/19).

Global momentum for hydrogen is growing and Australia is well positioned to be a leading producer of this clean future fuel.

Japan is leading the world in its use of hydrogen for domestic use, including large-scale utility power generation, powering homes and cars with hydrogen fuel cells.

The Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) pilot project will demonstrate integration of various technologies including the production of hydrogen from Latrobe Valley brown coal for export to Japan.

There are several ways to produce clean hydrogen, including coal, natural gas and renewables. Coal gasification with carbon, capture and storage (CCS) is a cost-effective and safe method to produce clean hydrogen.

The “industrial waste” that Mr Steiner refers to is simply carbon dioxide (CO2) – a compound that plays an essential role in the Earth’s carbon cycle, but one that must be mitigated. If the HESC project proceeds to a commercial scale, the CO2 produced by the project will be injected deep underground in Bass Strait, similar to the way oil and gas has been stored for millions of years. It will not be pumped out to sea as Mr Steiner states.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognises the need for CCS technology to help meet climate change action objectives, as does the UK Committee on Climate Change and EU Commission.

Too high a cost

Hilarious; had to laugh. All those letters (14/5/19) complaining of the [Victorian Trades Hall Council’s advertisement “Who will Greg Hunt stab in the back next”] anti-Greg Hunt advertisement, some suggesting the word “advertisement” was too small. My cat knew it was an advertisement, as I did in the expected follow-up from Mr Hunt’s crowd and Julia Banks’ invisible lot.

A tryptic? Collingwood to beat St Kilda, a Labor mini landslide and a victory for handsome Greg in Flinders? Egg on my face come next week?

Not to worry. I’m not a betting man. I was wrong once before, 1996. John Howard.

I ask Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill why Rosebud boat shed owners will to be expected to pay a proposed increase in the flat annual rate of $445 yearly to $1200 for the use of their boat shed?

Yes, the wealthy can afford the increases but the “normal” residents will struggle.

Not only that, [the shire’s proposed budget incudes] a waste service charge of $285 yearly when we don’t even have a bin.

Total cost of $1485 is almost as much as for a house.

Judy Martin, McCrae

No sense quarry I am not against the Ross Trust, but I am against its proposed new massive quarry in Boundary Road, Dromana. The trust donates roughly $4 million a year to charity of which only about three per cent goes to the Mornington Peninsula.

The will of Roy Everard Ross, which set up the Ross Trust, stipulates the donations should go to the preservation of the environment and supporting foreign students. The Ross Trust has more than $50 million in assets, so could still maintain its charitable work, albeit at a reduced level.

It doesn’t have to clear up to 38 hectares (93 acres) of bushland to access granite when there are extensive reserves in other areas that don’t require habitat destruction.

The state government’s 2015-2050 demand and supply report does not consider this reserve of granite on the peninsula to be strategic to the needs of Victoria.

We all have products from quarries on our property. If not from Hillview, then from another quarry. There are other quarries that are not causing such environmental damage.

To reopen the old pioneer quarry would take 150,000 litres of water a day on average to empty. The new quarry will be 10 times the area and 70 metres deeper. The water is from an aquifer (water table) and will be pumped out via Sheepwash Creek to Port Phillip. When water is so precious, how could they think this is ok?

Surely destroying bushland and pumping out water to create money to then donate money for the preservation of the environment doesn’t make sense. Does the end ever justify the means?

Michelle de la Coeur, Red Hill

Last week I was inundated by stooges of [Flinders Liberal MP] Greg Hunt with pre-recorded messages about the incredible goodness of our, hopefully, former MP Greg Hunt. I found these intrusions into my evening meals a very unwelcome affair.

If I ever would have contemplated voting for the LNP, it certainly pushed me to never vote for him.

I really felt repulsed about the neediness of Mr Hunt.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Quick to complain I wonder if all those readers who accused The News of political bias [for running the Victorian Trades Hall Council’s advertisement “Who will Greg Hunt stab in the back next”] are enjoying the taste of crow?

To prove this paper’s unbiased position, we’ve [since] been presented with [paid for] election material from Labor, Liberal and from [independent] Julia Banks. Let’s hope we are not assailed with one from Clive [Palmer], although he doesn’t really need to advertise, seeing as he is riding on the coattails of the [Scott] Morrison coalition anyway.

These complainants have shown their own bias by prematurely jumping the gun and thereby shooting themselves in the foot.

I’m reminded by the old saying, “get the brain into gear before operating the mouth”. In this case, the fingers on the keyboard .

John Cain, McCrae

‘Hilarious’ reactions

Thanks for track work I would like to thank the Mornington Peninsula Shire for understanding the need for safe steps and for providing a hand rail on the Coral Cove beach access track on the Mornington foreshore on the Esplanade between Coral and Johns roads, Mornington.

The Coral Cove beach has been a favourite of local residents for many years, but wear and tear of the steps leading down to this beach made the beach access difficult for all users and dangerous

Parking problems The Committee 4 Greater Frankston is very passionate about important changes for Frankston, but it is totally out of step with Frankston’s most pressing issues. It doesn’t regard climate change or the environment, violence against women or homelessness as major problems.

The charismatic CEO of this powerful lobby group is Ginevra Hosking - from the chain of Jewellery shops. She worked for 15 years with

for people with limited mobility.

The shire has recently replaced the existing path with a new structure providing even depth of steps and a hand rail for the full length of the access track. The new work is well appreciated by all who use this beach and makes the access now available for those with limited mobility.

The shire workers who rebuilt the steps have done a great job and were always courteous and helpful to the needs of residents during the project.

Neena Ackehurst, Mornington the ANZ Bank and other members are also well connected, rich and powerful business people.

This very wealthy Committee 4 Greater Frankston is advocating more parking spaces.

The end result will be choking Frankston CBD streets with more cars and poisonous carbon dioxide pollution.

Frankston residents must stand up and oppose more parking spaces. Complain to Frankston Council. Write letters to the newspapers. Protest on social media.

Vic Langsam, Frankston

Wasted water Victoria has ordered 125 gigalitres of desalinated water at a cost of $100 million or so, for household use and gardens, parks, industrial, everything.

Melbourne Water’s Eastern sewage treatment plant discharges about 127 gigalitres a year of purified, expensive, Class A recycled water into the ocean at Gunnamatta.

Houses in newer estates have dual-pipe water, the “purple pipe” supplying Class A recycled water, at about $2 a kilolitre which is eminently suitable for lawns, gardens and industry, but not for drinking or bathing.

A Moorooduc apple orchard was close to folding because of lack of water (“Water offer saves the day (for now” The News 30/4/19).

Tens of thousands of existing houses have to let the garden go in summer because we can’t afford to use any more drinking water at a cost of about $3 a kilolitre. If only all of these houses, and many businesses, could access this water at a reasonable price of $1 a kilolitre there would be no waste and significant benefits all round.

We would need less desalinated water.

There is a cost to piping purple water, and even possibly having to dam some of it during winter, but the cost is an investment with eternal dividends and rewards. Melbourne Water (and the state government) could earn $127 million a year. Do nothing and it is all wasted.

On 25 June2013, The News ran an article about much the same wasted water, advocating its sale and use.

Since then, something like $762 million, perhaps double that, has been flushed out to sea.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston to get its own grammar school Compiled by Cameron McCullough BY advertisement in another column, it will be seen that a Grammar School is to be established in Frankston.

The Principal is Mr J. Austin, who will be assisted by Mrs Dial as preparatory mistress.

The Headmaster will be at the school on Monday, 9th June.

An examination for entrance for scholarships will be held in the schoolroom on 31st May, at 9.30 a.m., and results will appear in the “Standard” on the 7th June.

The scholarships are open to boys and girls irrespective of age of locality. *** REPORTS of farewell functions to Major Conder have been held over till next issue. *** METHODIST Church – Rev. Horace Michell of Cheltenham who is exchanging pulpits, with the Rev. E. Tonkin on Sunday next will conduct both services at Frankston.

He will also preach at Langwarrin in the afternoon. *** MR George Young, Nurseryman of Somerville is issuing his catalogue of fruit trees for the season.

It is is usual an up-to-date production and arranged and printed in attractive style and should well serve as an effective medium to advertise the districts resources. *** THE next ordinary meeting of the local Shire Council will be held on Thursday, the 29th inst., which will be a week earlier than usual. ***

The teacher was giving a nature study lesson on a hen’s egg.

Having elicited the fact that an egg is oval, he naturally inquired the reason for its shape.

Much to his amusement a small child answered “Please, Sir, so that it will fit in an egg cup.” *** THE following letter has been received by the Editor: Through the columns of the “Standard” we wish to thank the parties who render valuable assistance to our pal who was stricken with influenza while on a holiday to Somerville during the Easter vacation.

Unlimited praise is due to Mrs Meldrum and family, well known residents who did everything possible to relieve him of his sufferings and Dr Griffith for his prompt and kind attention.

Also Mr Jack Webb for leaving his jinker and pony at our disposal.

Yours etc., F.R. Webb & F.H. Swain, Richmond. *** A GRATEFUL Ratepaper writes: Great credit is due to the Frankston and Hastings Shire for the water trough erected on Cranbourne Road.

When it is stated that recently the writer travelled 20 miles on one Main road without finding a trough to water his steed and eight miles in another direction, it can be readily seen what a boon to travellers is this work.

It is so well constructed that the authorities evidently mean it to last for several generations. *** IT is safe to assume that if the Frankston Brass Band is established

it will receive solid support from local citizens, for undoubtedly a good band is of great benefit to any town.

We are informed that one of the best Frankston barrackers and well wishers can put his hand on a score of pounds in donations if the Frankston Band comes here to stay. *** MRS J. H. Fielder who has successfully established a dancing class for children in Frankston, has consented to conduct an evening class for adults to commence on Tuesday 17th June, in the Mechanics. *** AT the special meeting of the Frankston Sub Branch R.S. & S.I.L.A. held on Monday’ night 19th. inst, the following office bearers were elected.—President, Mr A. Wilcox; Vice-Presidents — Messrs C. Bunney and W. Hanton; Treasurer — Mr A. Hill; Auditors — Messrs Carter and J. Smith; Committee — Messrs Hill, Stephens, McComb, Darcy, Walker and Johns; Secretary — O. Young. *** MRS Greene, of Frankston, has been notified that her second son Private E. R. Greene is returning from the front and is due to arrive in Melbourne on 30th May. *** PRIVATE Gus Goodwin who, is suffering from shell shock met with a painful accident on Saturday last.

While boarding an electric tram he slipped and fractured his right hand and was kept in the Base Hospital for treatment.

His brother, Gunner Bert. Goodwin is expected to arrive Friday, by the

Cluny Castle.

*** HEARD in the Train.

That sickness is still very prevalent in Frankston.

That quite a large proportion of citizen are temporarily out of action.

That the task of carrying on the Anzac appeal festivities is being bravely shouldered by the undaunted band of “survivors”.

That the carnival and fair opened yesterday, and promises to be a huge success.

That the attraction to-night (Saturday) will be the palaise-de-danse.

Great fun is promised.

That the continuation of the festivities next week will witness the presence in Frankston of 250 sailors of the home-coming fleet.

They arrive on Wednesday and will be the guests of the Wattle Club.

That the naval and military ball which takes place the same night should be a brilliant success. *** INTERESTING items.

Last year the English Navy cost £209,877,217.

There are over 1,000,000 houses in London, and over 100,000 people own more than one.

A gun is being made in the United States, which will be capable of hurling a projectile 105 miles.

Building societies in England furnish an average of £9,000,000 a year to provide workers with their own homes.

According to the latest statistics, there are 4,500 cinemas in the British Isles, with an annual attendance of

1,075,000 000.

Mr. J. W. Dawson, a veteran postman, of Rotherham, during his 35 years’ service has covered in the course of his deliveries a. distance of 210,000 miles.

A North of England vicar holds a special service at 9.15am. on Sundays for allotment workers. Worshippers are specially invited to attend in their working clothes.

London gets. 4,000,000 boxes of matches weekly.

There are in Great Britain 16,850 blind males and 16,650 blind females.

Tickets on the Underground Railway consume two tons of wood pulp daily.

Over 3,000,000 ft. of lumber is cut

by Canadian forestry companies in France every day.

One-third of the world’s 713,000 miles of railways are owned or controlled by the Government of the countries in which they operate.

During salvage operations in the ruins of a house demolished in a recent London air raid a workman has found a box containing 700 sovereigns.

Private Ivey Cleveland, of the U.S. army, who takes size 15 in boots, has been granted an honourable discharge.

Otherwise a special boot maker would have had to accompany him to France.

In parts of Australia, where the average rainfall is not more than ten inches, a square mile of land will support only eight or nine sheep. In Buenos Ayres the same area, with thirty-four inches of rain, supports 2,550 sheep. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 May 1919

MPNFL take out interleague clash INTERLEAGUE

By Brodie Cowburn THE MPNFL interleague side scored a win on Saturday, mounting a good comeback against the side from the Ovens and Murray Football League.

Ovens and Murray looked the better side early on, and were up by three goals at half time.

The MPNFL side came out with more fire and intensity in the second half, and wrestled back the lead with a seven goals to two third term.

MPNFL’s run of momentum continued into the final quarter, and they ended up running away with the victory 10.11 (71) to 16.16 (112).

Shane McDonald booted six goals for the representative side, while Shannon Gladman booted three.

Hillmen secure 200 point win DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn TWO games were played in the MPNFL this weekend as most of the league took time off to accommodate the interleague match.

The marquee match of the weekend was at Pearcedale Recreation Reserve, as Pearcedale played host to Chelsea.

Pearcedale were boosted by addition of former Essendon captain Brendon Goddard, who had signed to play in one match. Goddard was coming into the match on the back of a hand injury sustained in another league.

Pearcedale have struggled in 2019 and only registered a solitary win.

Unfortunately for them, even with the added boost of a former AFL star, they would not add to that win against the Seagulls.

Chelsea flew out of the block with a nine goals to two first term, setting the tone for what would be a completely one sided game of football.

Pearcedale never got close and were down by 80 points at half time. After the main break they were a little better, but still couldn’t stop the flow of goals.

When the final siren sounded, Pearcedale would have been glad that what was supposed to be a good day for the club had come to an end. The final score read Pearcedale 8.6 (54) to Chelsea 25.14 (164).

James Brain bootes six majors

for the Seagulls, while Jack Francis kicked five. Brad Clark also put on an impressive display in his side’s big win.

It was a dark day for Crib Point as they travelled to take on the rampaging Red Hill.

Red Hill have dominated teams regularly this season, and given Crib Point’s struggles the match was not expected to be competitive. Few could have predicted the scale of the loss.

Red Hill were completely dominant, and went into half time up by 95 points.

The Hillmen didn’t let up after the main break, and continued to punish the miserable Magpies. Another 18 second half goals sealed Crib Point’s fate, as they succumbed to defeat by over 200 points.

The final score was red Hill 34.20 (224) to Crib Point 3.4 (22).

Kane Hawkins, Zach Vines, Jonathon Ross, and Harry Larwill kicked five goals each.

Shellacking: Crib Point went down to an unstoppable Red Hill.

Burgess grabs point for Langy SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN defender Luke Burgess snatched a point for the local outfit with an injury-time equaliser against Moreland City at Campbell Reserve last Saturday.

Moreland took the lead in this NPL2 clash in the 5th minute after a quick break down the right and a cutback was met first time at the near post by striker Apai Ukono whose shot was turned in almost on the line by Burgess for an own goal.

Three minutes later Moreland fans were incensed when referee Perry Mur turned down penalty appeals after Alex Van Heerwarden poleaxed an opponent inside the penalty box.

It took until the 80th minute for Langy to level with a superbly taken strike on the right of the area from attacking midfielder Jordan Templin.

Moreland’s Jacob Colosimo thought he’d given the home side all three points when he evaded two opponents on the left in the 88th minute then sent in a low shot that beat Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren at the near post.

But Burgess had the last laugh when a deflected Callum Goulding shot fell to him inside the area and he thumped it into the back of the net.

In NPLW news the first significant move in the Melissa Maizels makeover of Southern United came late last week when the local club signed experienced utility player Erin Clout who made her debut in Saturday night’s 2-0 loss to Geelong Galaxy United in Norlane.

Canberra-born Clout, 26, has played with Canberra FC, Gungahlin United, APIA Leichhardt and Box Hill United and is a Player Relations and Engagements Executive with Professional Footballers Australia.

Southern may make other player announcements shortly and is understood to be in talks with a defender to fill one of its visa vacancies.

Maizels has only been at the coaching helm for a fortnight but already has seen major improvement.

“The result (against Galaxy) can almost speak for itself but the improvement I’ve seen in the past two weeks with these girls has been nothing short of incredible,” she said.

“They’ve been professional, dedicated and disciplined and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve in the back half of the season.”

Southern’s under-19s drew 1-1 with Galaxy with Talia Palmer scoring for Southern.

The under-16s came back from 3-1 down to record a 4-3 win with all of Southern’s goals coming from ace striker Rhys McKenna.

The under-14s won 1-0 with Rhiannon Kelleher scoring.

In State 1 news Mornington turned in its best display of the season when it strolled past Beaumaris 4-2 at Beaumaris Secondary College on Sunday evening.

Former Salford City striker Josh Hine enjoyed a mixed night with two first-half goals only to be sent off for a second caution in the 53rd minute.

Sammy Orritt completed the win with a second-half double.

Mixed fortunes: Langwarrin’s Luke Burgess (left) scored a late equaliser while Seaford United’s Dion Brown was sent off in fiery clash with Sandown Lions.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers and Brandon Park had to settle for a share of the spoils when they drew 2-2 at Centenary Park on Saturday.

Strikers were outplayed in the first half but fought back from 1-0 down at half-time with two second-half goals within six minutes from star striker John Prescott.

The English import scored in the 67th and 73rd minutes but a superb interpassing move by Brandon Park in the 80th minute was finished in style by Jarrah Clear.

In State 3 news Skye United had super sub Daniel Attard to thank for its fourth straight win when it downed South Yarra 3-1 at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

Skye started well and was rewarded in the 7th minute when Saj Sugrim’s endeavour saw him win back the ball then send in a deep cross that Mitch Blake headed home to make it 1-0.

Skye continued to dominate proceedings and only had itself to blame for not putting the game to bed early as South Yarra equalised minutes before half time.

Skye failed to clear from a corner and South Yarra’s Taylor Matthews finished off a square ball to drag the visitors back into the contest.

South Yarra was denied a stonewall penalty on the hour mark as the ball clearly struck the hand of Skye defender Daniel Walsh only for the referee to ignore a chorus of appeals.

In the 68th minute Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness threw on strikers Attard and Mikey Turner and the move paid dividends.

Attard put Skye ahead in the 83rd minute when he poked home a loose ball in the box following a Marcus Anastasiou strike.

The big man then sealed the points in injury time as he finished well following a Harrison Michaelis cut back.

Frankston Pines recorded its first home win of the season when it defeated nine-man Diamond Valley United 4-1 last weekend.

Pines went into the contest without midfielder Serge Yanez who had work commitments, central defender Daniel

Mota, whose wife was expecting their first child, and a trio of injured first teamers in Lewis Potter, Cedric Benza and Alex Bevacqua.

They all could be available this weekend but senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor may be an absentee after securing a ticket to next Monday’s Championship play-off final at Wembley between his beloved Derby County and Aston Villa while striker Jason Bradbury is off on his honeymoon and will miss the next three matches.

Diamond Valley keeper Peter Kourkoulis kept Pines at bay with two acrobatic saves in the opening exchanges but allowed the ball to escape his grasp in the 24th minute.

Bradbury pounced but his goalbound strike was handled by Diamond Valley’s Abdelhadi Deroune leaving the referee little choice but to send him off and point to the spot.

CJ Hodgson converted with aplomb sending Kourkoulis the wrong way.

But a minute into the second half Diamond Valley hit back with a stunning break down the left and an inchperfect cross that Will Dixon headed over Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale to make it 1-1.

For the next 15 minutes Pines could have rewritten the manual on how to play against 10 men and look ordinary but Diamond Valley forward Marvin Masso had been booked in the first half and when he chose to throw himself on the ground when tackled he was booked for simulation and sent off.

Pines midfielder Nick Simmons sent Joe O’Connor clear down the left in the 72nd minute and his cutback gave Hodgson a tap-in and the killer blow for the visitors came in the 83rd minute when a long ball from Connor McAndrews was lobbed on the volley by O’Connor over the stranded Kourkoulis to make it 3-1.

Hodgson completed his hat-trick in the 91st minute with a low shot from the left of the area.

Finishing a match with just nine men seemed to be the order of the day at Monterey Reserve last weekend as Pines’ reserves had two players sent off yet managed to record a remarkable 4-3

success.

In a bizarre contest which featured goalkeeping heroics, player indiscipline and a Diamond Valley official who thought it okay to stroll onto the pitch during a second half flashpoint and argue with Pines players it took a late Leevy Gatteck goal to separate the sides and give the home team its maiden league win of 2019.

In State 4 news Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United lost 5-3 at home to Sandown Lions in a controversial clash last weekend that saw both sides finish with nine men.

Seaford took the lead in the 10th minute after Dylan Waugh was tripped as he prepared to score and player-coach Matt Morris-Thomas converted from the spot.

Three minutes later a botched clearance from Sandown keeper Norman Vellien fell to the feet of Matthias Schwellenger and his precise lob over Vellien gave the home side a surprising 2-0 lead.

Sandown hit back with a blistering drive from Yangdow Kong in the 30th minute.

In the 42nd minute a challenge on Gatwetch Kuichloch saw him collide with the fence which incensed the visiting supporters who threatened to encroach on the pitch.

A five-minute delay followed as the referee and local officials regained control.

Right on half-time Waugh was brought down on the edge of the box and Sandown defender Tristan Contreras was sent off.

Two minutes into the second half the 10 men equalised from a headed own goal by Dean Snoxwell.

In the 50th minute a slick interpassing move by Sandown ended when Wumjock Gatluak calmly side-footed the ball past Seaford keeper Liam Swift to make it 3-2.

But Seaford substitute Mitch Lander equalised three minutes later when he was credited with the final touch after Sandown failed to clear a MorrisThomas free-kick.

This seesawing contest again turned in Sandown’s favour in the 55th minute

when Seaford defender Dion Brown gave away a penalty which was converted by Masur Kuei to make it 4-3.

Seaford was reduced to 10 men when Morris-Thomas was given a second caution in the 65th minute and Sandown was reduced to nine men in the 71st minute when Yangdow Kong handled and received a second yellow card.

But Sandown went further ahead in the 81st minute when Seaford failed to clear and Wari Puoch scored with a leftfoot shot from just inside the area.

Brown was sent off in injury time and his departure sparked angry scenes as a group of Sandown supporters rushed towards him as he left the pitch forcing officials and players to step in and try and restore order.

Shortly after referee Aurel Ioana blew for full time in what was one of the more difficult matches he’s likely to oversee.

Meanwhile Baxter’s recent run of wins ended last Saturday when it lost 2-1 at home to Noble Park United.

Baxter’s Lewis Gibson was denied from the penalty spot in the first half by an excellent save from Noble Park keeper Branislav Karaga and a Bogdan Graovac goal in the 35th minute allowed the visitors to go into the break in front.

New signing Lawrence Komba from Dingley Stars equalised five minutes into the second half when he took advantage of Noble Park’s inability to deal with a cross and scored from inside the six-yard box.

The pivotal moment came in the 86th minute with a controversial penalty decision and Aleksandar Djukic scored the winner from the spot.

Baxter continues to build its first team squad and signed Komba and two other players late last week.

Utility Liam Stuckenschmidt and left-sided player Ehab Hilal have joined from Frankston Pines.

In State 5 news Aspendale Stingrays recorded their biggest win of the season when they hammered visiting Bunyip District 8-1 last weekend.

Aspendale had this wrapped up when it led 4-1 at half-time and the home side’s goals came from James Macnab (2), substitutes Luiz Dobre (2) and Ben Garside-Weinert, Ryan Mravljak, Sam Timuska-Carr and Adrian Pace.

This week’s games: WEDNESDAY, 7.30pm: South Melbourne v Langwarrin (Lakeside Stadium, FFA Cup round 7).

John Meagher joins racing’s Hall of Fame

By Ben Triandafillou MELBOURNE Cup winning trainer John Meagher has come a long way since landing his first winner at Balnarring in 1971.

So much so that the champion trainer was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall Of Fame on Friday 17 May. The trainer of more than 25 Group One victories including the 1985 Melbourne Cup with the Lloyd Williamsowned, What A Nuisance, and the 2000 Singapore Gold Cup with Kim’s Angel, Meagher joins nine other inductees to enter the Hall Of Fame this year.

Meagher, whose two sons Chris and Daniel now train in their own right respectively at Mornington and in Singapore, has taken a step down from training the past few years but has helped oversee proceedings at his son Chris Meagher’s set-up in Roberts Road, Mornington.

Meagher started out as an apprenticed jockey initially with trainer Bob Clarton in Mentone in the early-1960’s before moving to Bill Murrell and George McCormick to further his skills.

Meagher kicked off his own training career in 1971 before landing his first winner with a horse called Ritzali (ridden by Alan Pickles) at Balnarring the very same year. Top sprinter Maniple was an early prolific winner for the humble horseman as he patiently began to build his reputation in the training ranks.

Jack’s Doubt was another major winner for Meagher during the early

part of his career as he took out the Great Southern Steeplechase at Mornington in 1972.

Meagher’s first Group One training victory came with Ranger’s Son in the 1983 Marlboro Cup (Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes) at Caulfield before Lloyd Williams engaged Meagher as

his private trainer. Meagher continued to train for other owners as well during this period.

What A Nuisance won the first sponsored, million-dollar Melbourne Cup in 1985 for the stable, with continuing success for the partnership following in the next seven

years. Drought won the 1986 Peter Pan Stakes and was narrowly beaten

by Raveneux in the Victoria Derby, while Major Drive claimed the 1987 Sydney Cup for the team.

Meagher relocated his stables from Epsom to Chicquita Lodge at Flemington in 1989. Between successes

ROUND 9

Meagher resumed training independently in 1991 and had an early surprise winner when Connorvila took out the Grand National Hurdle at Flemington the same year. The run of success continued as Star of the Realm won the 1991 Victoria Derby and Ready To Explode won the 1991 Caulfield Guineas. Other top Meagher horses in the decade included Golden Sword (1993 Epsom and Toorak Handicaps) and Daacha (1995 Sydney Cup) among others.

Meagher also memorably trained five winners on the final day of the 1993 Flemington Spring Carnival.

Making the move in 1999, Meagher trained for 11 years over in Singapore and produced nearly 600 winners including Kim’s Angel in the 2000 Singapore Gold Cup. He returned to Australia in 2011 and established a training partnership with his sons Chris and Dan and set-up stables in both Victoria and Queensland.

It can’t be understated the influence that Meagher also had in the jockey ranks as he mentored many champion jockeys with likes of Steven King, Brett Prebble and David Charles among others.

Nowadays, the true trainer keeps a keen interest in his son, Chris’, stable by providing sound advice that he has obtained during his decorated career in racing.

MOTORING

Touareg - luxury and technology perfectly packaged VOLKSWAGEN have once again lifted the bar with its new generation 2019 Touareg Launch Edition.

A mix of luxurious sophistication and high technology, the new Touareg has the attention of the motoring world.

With its perfect proportions, smooth contours and purposeful styling, the new Touareg Launch Edition has been designed for maximum visual impact.

No matter the angle it’s viewed from.

Volkswagen’s latest SUV offers a bold statement of intent - this is a vehicle that looks as good as it performs.

Wider and longer than its predecessor, the Touareg Launch Edition is nevertheless lighter thanks to the combination of aluminium and high-tech steel used in its construction.

The Touareg Launch Edition’s strong silhouette is assisted by its longer bonnet, which extends down to new IQ. Light Matrix LED headlights set either side of an assertive front grille.

Perfectly complementing the vehicle’s dynamic appearance are striking 20-inch ‘Braga’ black alloy wheels that are unique to the Touareg Launch Edition.

At the rear, the Touareg Launch Edition’s electronic tailgate with Easy Open & Close takes the hassle out of opening the boot, while under the tailgate are eye-catching chrome trapezoidal tailpipes set either side of a sporty diffuser.

It’s no surprise that the Touareg Launch Edition’s interior is the perfect match for its bold styling. But while its exterior is sporty and dynamic, the Touareg Launch Edition’s cabin is all sophistication and comfort. Spacious design, impressive fit and finish, and

an array of technological conveniences combine to create a driving experience that is at once luxurious and deeply satisfying.

The Touareg Launch Edition’s front seats have been designed to provide maximum comfort even on long journeys. They can be electrically adjusted 18 ways, have pneumatic side bolsters in both the seat cushion and backrest, and feature a special massage function.

All seats have heating and ventilation in-seat.

The dashboard is the epitome of sophisticated and functional design.

Proving that the Touareg Launch Edi-

22 May 2019

tion’s cabin is as practical as it is classy, there’s an impressive 1800 litres of boot space available with the rear seat folded.

Few vehicles feature an exceptional array of technological innovation in one package quite like the Touareg Launch Edition. Whether for occupant convenience, comfort or safety, the technological aids in Volkswagen’s latest SUV put it at the pinnacle of its class.

There’s no limit to the multimedia options available to you courtesy of Volkswagen’s pioneering 9.2-inch Discover Pro navigation system with Ges-

ture Control and Voice Control.

Other driver aids have been fitted to make driving and life’s little challenges - such as parking - that much simpler.

Also included is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), an intelligent system that not only maintains a speed set by the driver but keeps a safe distance from the vehicle in front by modulating braking and accelerating as required.

Negotiating shopping centre carparks is a cinch with Park Assist. It uses Rear View Camera and front and rear parking sensors to carefully guide you into, or out of, tight parking spaces.

Peace of mind is yours when you

drive the new Touareg Launch Edition.

A comprehensive range of active and passive safety features have been included in Volkswagen’s latest SUV, all of which have been designed and tested with one objective in mind - keeping vehicle occupants and other road users safe.

It’s apt that a vehicle as technologically superior as the Touareg Launch Edition should receive safety systems never seen before in the Touareg range.

Among the compelling new technology featured in the vehicle is Front Cross Traffic Assist, Predictive Pedestrian Protection, and Traffic Jam Assist.

The Emergency Assist function uses ACC and Lane Assist to detect steering braking or acceleration inactivity on the part of the driver, such as when the driver falls asleep or is incapacitated.

The system will initiate an escalating series of attempts to alert the driver before performing a safe emergency stop as a last resort.

Touareg Launch Edition’s athletic styling and broad stance are the first indication of the performance potential lurking within Volkswagen’s latest premium SUV. With its 3.0-litre turbocharged TDI engine capable of providing an impressive 190kW of torque, this is a vehicle that has been built to be driven and enjoyed.

With its combination of precision and prowess, Volkswagen’s newest Touareg lays down the performance gauntlet to its rivals in the premium SUV class.

To test drive the new Touareg Launch Edition, visit Beachside Volkswagon at 110 Dandenong Road West, Frankston or call them on (03) 9783 8200.
