Parties pump out promises
By Luke Voogt Art has become the latest election battleground in Geelong after the coalition yesterday announced $500,000 to expand Geelong Gallery into City Hall. Shadow arts minister Heidi Victoria announced the funding for a business case alongside Geelong Liberal candidate Freya Fidge. “Freya Fidge has been fierce advocate for the Geelong Gallery,” Ms Victoria said. The pledge followed Darryn Lyons last month pledging $650,000 to support the expansion. Mr Lyons’ pledge had “nothing to do” with yesterday’s announcement, Ms Victoria said. She had been working with the gallery “for months” on the expansion amid council plans to move from City Hall. Continued page 2

MANHUNT: The men police want to question of the Grovedale bike theft and six other similar incidents.
Bike pair hit Grovey shop “Brazen” thieves have targeted a Grovedale store during a series of potentially linked bicycle thefts that began in suburban Melbourne a fortnight ago, according to police. The pair raided the Marshalltown Rd shop on Tuesday after possibly stealing their first bike in South Melbourne on 27 October, police said. The Grovedale theft followed the same sequence as six earlier incidents, police alleged, with one man taking the bike from the store then loading it into a white Mazda ute with an “accomplice” driver waiting outside. The allegedly “linked” incidents also involved businesses in Hoppers Crossing, Brunswick East, Keilor Park and Pascoe Vale. Police listed another incident, at Flemington, as “attempted theft only”. Investigators released on Wednesday security camera images of the alleged thieves. “The first man is perceived to be either Middle Eastern or Pacific Islander in appearance, about 185cm tall, with a pot belly. He is
GETAWAY: The white Mazda ute allegedly used in the bike thefts. often wearing an orange high visibility top, a hat and sunglasses,” police said. “The second man was aged about 30 to 40-years-old, with an olive complexion and a solid build.” Police asked anyone who recognised either or both men to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
From page 1 “Ours is fully-costed and fully-funded ... that’s the difference there. “Should there be a Liberal-National government in two weeks’ time that money will come to the gallery.” “I don’t know of any independent with the ear of the treasure.” Ms Victoria anticipated Mr Lyons “would certainly give his blessing on this great project” if he won office and held a balance of power. Fidge refused to discuss preference deals with Mr Lyons, a former Liberal member. “That’s negotiated at a central level,” Ms Victoria said on Ms Fidge’s behalf. “That will be done between Darryn and our head office.” ALP polling indicates Mr Lyons could win more than 10 per cent of the primary vote, meaning his preferences could decide the seat of Geelong’s fate. Labor’s Christine Couzens, who won the seat by 6 per cent in 2014, on Wednesday pledged $127,000 for a local art project to depict Geelong’s disabled residents. Commuters are also set to benefit in the election, with the coalition pledging 32-minute trains to Geelong. “This is able to happen in the first term of a Matthew Guy-led government,” Ms Victoria said yesterday. Labor described the plan as “impossible” and lacking in detail, proposing its own 45-minute plan and pledging 200 new car parks at North Shore Railway Station. The Liberals also announced they would almost double the size of Labor’s planned 700bed prison, which Corrections Minister Gayle Tierney described as a “con“. “They want to double the size of a prison that Labor is already building, but without any new funding,” she said.

IN BRIEF House gutted
Mayor ‘house slam’ By Luke Voogt Geelong's mayor has slammed Heritage Victoria for delaying the reopening of an iconic waterfront building closed for three years. A “frustrated” Bruce Harwood urged Heritage Victoria yesterday to compromise on “minor renovations” after the agency refused to approve the latest plans for The Beach House. “We’ve been working very hard on this and bending a long way,” he said. “There’ll be some very minor renovations to get the building to an economically viable position.” In May council allocated $500,000 for repairs and disability access at The Beach House. Council in August agreed to issue a 10-year in-principle lease to Mulberry Group, which operates a number of venues in Melbourne. But Heritage Victoria has refused to ap-
prove the company’s application for a pergola and relocation of kitchen to increase seating at The Beach House. Mulberry Group must now renegotiate the plans with Heritage Victoria, which could delay the reopening until March. The company had already made “very generous” concessions to Heritage Victoria, Cr Harwood revealed. “I thought we were over the line," he said. "It’s give and take. If it’s all one way it can’t work.” Mulberry Group had an excellent record with heritage-listed buildings in Melbourne, Cr Harwood said. “They're very sensitive to the heritage factors.” The in-principle lease required the building to be economically viable for Mulberry Group,
Cr Harwood said. He previously predicted that reopening the building would be a significant tourist drawcard. The building closed without notice in April 2016 after lease negotiations between thentenant Ross Adams and council failed. Mulberry Group's Nathan Toleman announced in August he planned to bring “this building back to life” in time for Christmas. Mr Toleman did not return the Indy’s phone calls yesterday. Heritage Victoria had not refused a permit and was working with Mulberry Group and council to addresses heritage impacts to Eastern Beach Bathing Complex, an agency spokesperson said. Heritage Victoria declined to explain the impacts
Police are investigating a suspicious fire that gutted a vacant two-storey brick house at Charlemont. Firefighters rushed to the blaze around 1.30am on Thursday before investigators began combing the site on Geelong’s southern fringe later in the day.
Candidate named The Liberal party has named a candidate for the safe seat of Lara less than three weeks before the Victorian election on 24 November. The party announced on Wednesday that Melissa Di Pasquale would take on Labor incumbent and Sports Minister John Eren in the seat he holds with a margin of more than 17 per cent.
Ex-mayor returned Surf Coast councillors have given Rose Hodge a fourth term as mayor unopposed after months of council infighting. She replaced Cr David Bell, who had a doctor’s certificate requiring a chaperone for meetings with particular councillors in the wake of hostilities over council flying a rainbow flag.
Storages falling The region’s water storages have continued declining despite recording 24mm of rain in the seven days to Tuesday. Barwon Water recorded the storages at 61.2 per cent of capacity this week, down 680 million litres on the seven days previous.
Wheel installed Geelong’s waterfront Ferris wheel has returned to Eastern Beach in time for summer. Operators expect to begin giving rides on the 50-metre wheel tonight to coincide with the lighting of Geelong’s floating Christmas tree.
Cat signed A delisted Geelong Cats player has secured a three-year contract with the Gold Coast Suns. Suns list manager Craig Cameron welcomed Jordan Murdoch’s “elite speed and foot skills” after the 26-year-old managed 108 games in seven years before the Cats dumped him last week.

Road warning Motorists face “minor delays” and residents “some construction noise” during overnight resurfacing works on Ballarat Rd in North Geelong, Vicroads has announced. The works would force land closures between 8.30pm and 5am to make way for the project between Jasmine St and Anakie Rd from this Sunday, Vicroads said.

More than 28,000 shoppers braved heavy rain to snare a bargain in central Geelong’s biggest annual shopping event on Tuesday, council has estimated. About 220 businesses joined in the Central Geelong Sidewalk Sales, offering bargains galore, as crowds rode mechanical horses, tested their footy skills and listed to local music. The big band sound of the Sweethearts filled Little Malop St Mall, while a pamper marquee provided mini manicures and hair touch ups for shoppers. Event ambassador and Geelong AFLW player Anna Teague helped young Cats fans with their hand-balling and a fashion parade filled the streets with colour. Hungry shoppers dined on culinary treats with international food stalls dotting the sidewalks. Both major malls reported full carparks several times throughout the day and large crowds from 9am for the Central Geelong Sidewalk Sales. Central Geelong Marketing executive officer Jodie Reyntjes welcomed the result, espe-

Women dig in heels Geelong Chamber of Commerce and Business in Heels have joined forces in a bid to “globally“ empower local women entrepreneurs. Chamber chief executive officer Bernadette Uzelac said the partnership would help a growing number of Geelong women starting businesses to develop locally and globally. More women were now “going into business” in Geelong, she said. “Around 50 per cent of (new) members joining the chamber are owned and operated by women.” Business in Heels operates internationally to unlock potential for women in business through marketing, education and connections. “We’re thrilled to be working closely with Business in Heels to provide more-effective support and programs to assist female entrepreneurs achieve their potential,“ Ms Uzelac said. The two groups would collaborate on a range of business offerings for female business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals in the Geelong region, she said. Business in Heels chief Lisa Sweeney said the partnership would benefit members of both organisations. “By combining our resources we will create greater opportunities for businesswomen in Geelong to tap into global opportunities and networks.“ The partnership would also give non-members access to an expanded range of business events and support, she said. “We know that under this new partnership we can provide real value to businesswomen in Geelong who are wanting to grow and expand their business skills and opportunities.” The partnership will begin with a business solutions summit in early 2019 followed by a “lunch and learn“ educational events and networking opportunities throughout the year.

Cop ‘bosses’ back on beat Police “bosses” have left their office jobs for a day to work the streets of Geelong, a social media post has revealed. The Geelong Uniform Management Senior Sergeants and other Sergeants hit the city to give lower-ranking officers “a day off the road”, police posted on Facebook this week. The details ran under the headline ‘You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks’. The post described the initiative as “something a little different” for the sergeants and members of the public who encountered them on the beat. The sergeants worked divisional vans, station sedans, watch-house duties and foot patrols across Geelong’s police’s response zone, the post said. “Although some were a little rusty to start with the bosses soon broke into full stride showing the younger more junior members they still know there way around. “Leading from the front was current Geelong Police Station Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Scott McKenzie and second in charge Senior Sergeants Tony Francis and Acting Senior Sergeant Dean Parrello. “Other Senior Sergeants and Sergeants could be seen right throughout the shift taking reports at the watch house counter or standing at radar and preliminary breath-testing sites.” The post revealed that the sergeants also experienced the pointy end of policing during their shift. “Besides responding to calls and intercepting vehicles as part of Operation Furlong, a significant arrest was made at Market Square of a male who was being sought by Torquay detectives for robbery,” police posted. Sen Sgt McKenzie described the purpose of the operation as supporting officers “working under pressure” with a “full-scale commitment of all ranks”, the post said.

Protesters fight plans for 2000 houses at Spring Creek By Luke Voogt More than 100 Surf Coast residents donned red on Tuesday to protest a planned 2000-house development at Spring Creek valley. The protesters urged both major parties to block the development by pulling back Torquay’s town boundaries to Duffields Rd. Local residents feared the development threatened their lifestyle, Greater Torquay Alliance’s Damien Cole said. “It’s a short term economic gain at the cost of a very beautiful part of our community,” the independent candidate for South Barwon said. Labor recently adopted a new “position” to pull the boundary back to Duffields Rd, effectively scrapping the 2000-home development. But Labor will only commit to the new bound-

Tuesday’s protest resembles a rally in 2009, when 3000 residents protested the development in red clothing. Surf Coast Shire, which originally earmarked the area for development, received
ary after further consultation with Torquay residents, which Mr Cole described as needless. “The community have always opposed it,” he said. “We’ve stood strong against it for the best part of a decade.” He feared for the area, stretching about 1km
more than 2800 objections to the plan. In 2010 Labor Planning Minister Justin Madden expanded Torquay’s town boundary and in 2014 his Liberal successor Matthew Guy issued a planning approval for the development. Earlier this year Labor and then the coalition pledged stronger planning laws for the area, including height restrictions. Labor candidate for South Barwon Darren Cheeseman announced his party’s new position last Tuesday. But incumbent Liberal MP Andrew Katos in October accused Labor of having no intention of repealing the boundary. Scrapping the development could lead to legal challenges totalling $100 million from developers who had already purchased land there, he warned.

A “lucky local child“ will have the honour of lighting Geelong’s famous floating Christmas tree tonight after it arrived this week bearing new gifts. City Hall installed the tree on Monday at its traditional waterfront location adjacent to the foot of Moorabool St. Workers later added new “colourful presents“ with feature lighting at the base of the tree, City Hall said. City Hall expected a big turnout again this year for the free entertainment at the lighting ceremony, which would include a fireworks display. “The entertainment begins 7pm with The Kazoos, The Itchy Feet band, the cast of Medimme’s Aladdin, Geelong’s Best Kid Busker winner Tim Meadows and Piano Bar’s Andy Pobjoy and friends,“ City Hall said. “There will also be face painting, roving entertainment, the Central Geelong Marketing Christmas elves as well as an appearance by Santa. “At 9pm one lucky local child, chosen through a colouring competition, will have the honour of flicking the switch to begin the colourful lighting and fireworks display. “Festivities will then continue at City Hall with a stunning new light projection show, created by local artist Matt Bonner, which starts at 9.30pm." The tree's six-minute light show will continue every 15 minutes from 8.30pm until midnight nightly until 7 January. Mayor Bruce Harwood said Geelong was now renowned for its “spectacular Christmas program”. “The lighting of the floating tree is a special event for many local families and a great way to mark the start of the festive season,” he said. “Best of all, it’s a free night out for the family, so come along and enjoy the special Christmas events on offer at the beautiful Geelong Waterfront.”

By Luke Voogt Police have stepped up their hunt for six Geelong locals who failed to show in court or breached court orders for alleged offences including violent crimes. On Wednesday police released mugshots in an effort to track them down. Craig Rogers, 47, has one warrant for his arrest for failing to attend court over threatening to inflict serious injuries. He was living in Geelong, police said. Sapphire Mankey has five warrants for her arrest, relating to contravening court orders, failing to appear on bail, assaults, threats and property damage offences. She was living in Geelong, police said. Korey Cripps, 33, has seven warrants for his arrest for failing to appear in court for contravening court orders. He was living in Geelong, police said. Steve Rich, 47, has six outstanding warrants. Police described him as approximately 170cm tall, of medium build and fair complexion. They said he frequented South Geelong. Tameeka Robinson, 18, has four outstanding warrants. Police described her as approximately 170cm tall, of thin build, with brown hair
and fair complexion. They said she frequented Newtown. Shane Kennedy, 29, has two outstanding warrants. Police described him as approximately 165cm tall, of medium build, with brown hair and fair complexion. They said he frequented Belmont. Shane Bausch, who allegedly caused a crash killing a 31-week-old unborn child, was still at large this week after recently missing his court date. A Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that police were yet to arrest the 57-year-old from Bell Post Hill. The crash occurred about 4pm on 28 March, 2016, on Midland Hwy, leaving a 31-year-old Ballarat North woman with serious injuries and killing her unborn child. Mr Bausch last appeared at Geelong County Court in April where a judge ordered him to stand trial before a jury later this year. But he failed to show at his most recent court date. Police urged anyone with information on any of the wanted individuals to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000 or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Two reasons to remember By Luke Voogt
REMEMBERED: Keith Hankin with a photo of grandfather William, his father's and grandfather's medals, and, above his father, Walter, recovering from wounds. to his commanding officer. The man threw his hands up as Walter charged him down. “I put my heels into my mare and went straight for the objective,” he wrote. Walter wrote about a dismounted attack on
a Turkish camp where his troop killed four and wounded seven, taking 30 prisoners. “The bullets were flying around and I expected every moment my mare would be hit,” he wrote. “When the bullets came too close she would just bob her head and flinch somewhat.”
Walter also wrote about a freak seven-yearly flood that left him “thunderstruck”, as a “chalk dry” gully became a large river in minutes. Mr Hankin suspects his grandfather, then 44, lied about his age to enlist for World War I, and still wonders why. “Only he knew,” he said.
12402865-SN45-18
Centenary of Armistice has double meaning for Ocean Grove’s Keith Hankin, whose father left the army on 11 November, 1918, after surviving a bullet to the head. Trooper Walter Hankin was centimetres from death when a Turkish sniper shot him on 30 April, 1918, the same date Keith was born eight years later. This Sunday Mr Hankin remembers his father, who fought for 9th Light Horse Regiment in the Middle East and grandfather William Hankin, who served in France. “My thoughts on (my father’s) service and civilian life allow me to appreciate the sacrifice he and others made to provide for their descendants,” the 92-year-old said. “Added to all this was the battle of living, particularly during The Great Depression of the 1930s.” Walter suffered health and mental issues for many years after the war, Mr Hankin said. “What I considered as odd ways or idiosyncrasies were no doubt the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder as we know it today.” Walter told his son about the bullet hitting his head but missing his brain in a rare moment speaking about the war. His troop was on foot and firing at the Turks from behind a rock, when Walter spotted his would-be killer to the right. “He knew the sniper was about to fire because he saw his rifle come down,” Mr Hankin said. “He remembered falling forward - his last memory was somebody grabbing his ankles and pulling him flat along the ground.” Troopers Hankin’s war memoirs for a Melbourne newspaper chronicle miles of riding across deserts, with little sleep. He was the first Australian in the war to capture an Austro-German officer, according

A unique approach to seniors living In an economic environment where traditional models of owning a family home for life are shifting to alternative options, Ingenia Lifestyle is leading the seniors living industry with the creation of Australia’s fast growing downsizing solution. Unlike the traditional retirement village DMF offering, the unique land lease ownership model introduces a new concept to over 55s while helping to protect their financial security and independence. Lifestyle-focused land lease communities have a strong foothold in the market, setting new benchmarks and breaking down the walls of confusing contracts, complex financial arrangements and questions over legalities. Ingenia Chief Operating Officer, Nikki Fisher, said land lease living replaces uncertainty with a more simple and transparent ownership model that’s affordable and offers a quality solution that’s exceeding expectations. “Land lease living is not your average retirement community, it saves seniors thousands of dollars with a more affordable price point while introducing a whole new
housing market that is not just for retirees but for all types of downsizers. “It’s supported via government regulations and legislation with strong levels of protection for both home owner and operator,” Nikki said. How does it work? Under the land lease model Ingenia separates the ownership of the land and house, significantly improving housing affordability as seniors avoid paying thousands of dollars in unnecessary stamp duty fees. Residents purchase and own their home and lease the land from Ingenia with a weekly site fee which covers the rent of the land, council rates, management and maintenance and access to resort-style facilities all wrapped up within a supported and vibrant lifestyle community. Where eligible, the weekly site fees may also be subsidised by government rent assistance, supporting the affordable housing model. If or when the time comes to leave, there are no exit fees to pay and the owner keeps 100% of any capital made on their home. “As the leading owner and operator of lifestyle communities in Australia, Ingenia Lifestyle is proud to deliver a solution which provides financial peace of mind, comfort and security. Ingenia also offers many free lifestyle benefits
including a social activity program, care and wellbeing concierge and holiday discounts through our Ingenia Holidays portfolio. “Overall, the innovative land lease model has created a more simple, competitive, valuedriven and transparent housing model, whilst allowing us to lead innovation in the lifestyle community market for Australia’s rapidly ageing population,” Nikki said.

Local kids in high jab rate By Luke Voogt
CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER: Geelong Performing Arts Centre is calling for "daring and ambitious" pitches for two grants of $10,000-worth of theatre support.
Cash carrot for ‘bold artists’ Bold and brave Geelong artists could win $10,000-worth of support to transform their idea into a theatrical reality in a new arts competition. Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) chief executive officer Joel McGuinness urged companies, writers, directors, makers and performers to pitch “daring and ambitious” ideas. “Geelong is home to some fantastic artists,” he said. “Fortune favours the brave and we want to work with artists to create bold new works.” Curious Mechanics: Makers program offers $10,000 of in-kind support each to two winners, for rehearsals, mentoring, marketing, equipment and even opening night catering. “Curious Mechanics: Makers is a creative development initiative to help artists get their ideas from concept to product and to an audience,” McGuinness said.
geelongindy.com.au
The program’s title is a reference to the former Mechanics Institute, part of the centre’s original Ryrie Street buildings that have now given way to redevelopment. Scheduled for completion in mid-2019, the redevelopment would meet the needs of Geelong’s growing creative industry, McGuinness said. Deakin University supports the grant, which culminates in a performance in GPAC’s Drama Theatre. The university’s vice chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander was delighted to support Curious Mechanics: Makers. “In the age of AI and digital disruption, the creative arts are the critical interface underpinning innovation - it’s where the very best ideas are conceived,” she said. Expressions of interest in the Curious Mechanics program close on 3 December at 5pm. For more information email penny@gpac.org.au
Geelong child immunisation rates have beaten state and national averages, according to data council released this week. Western Victoria Primary Health Network chief executive officer Leanne Beagley on Tuesday welcomed the “remarkable outcome”. “This is a great success story and one where organisations have worked together to achieve this outstanding result,” she said. Immunisation rates for greater Geelong were higher than Victorian and Australian averages for two-year-old (93 per cent) and fiveyear-old children (98 per cent). Vaccination for 12 to 15-month-old children (95 per cent) equalled the state average and was higher than the national average. The health network, which represents Geelong GPs, worked with general practices, council and providers like Barwon Health to achieve the “excellent” result, Dr Beagley said. Every Aboriginal child in greater Geelong, aged 12 to 15 months and five years old, received immunisations, while 96 per cent of Indigenous two-year-old children received immunisations. Indigenous immunisation rates were well above state and national averages in the three age groups. “The rates of immunisation of pre-school children in the Aboriginal community are especially pleasing,” Dr Beagley said. Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation helped to achieve the result, she added. Council’s immunisation program, run through Barwon Health, includes free immuni-
sations for children and other eligible residents listed on the National Immunisation Program. In 2017, Barwon Health immunised more than 23,000 people, protecting children against diseases including diptheria, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal, whooping cough, polio, tetanus and chickenpox. Geelong children receive vaccinations from age six, and in years 7 and 10 in school immunisation programs. When enough people are vaccinated against a disease, ‘herd immunity’ prevents it from spreading to unvaccinated people, according to the Australian Department of Health. For example, measles is highly infectious, so it needs a coverage rate of 92 to 94 per cent to achieve herd immunity. Herd immunity protects children too young for vaccination and people unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons. Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood congratulated local parents on the result. “It’s very pleasing to see Greater Geelong parents taking the lead and helping our region exceed Victorian and national immunisation rates,” he said. “Immunising children is one of the most effective ways we can help stop preventable diseases and is essential to ensuring we have a healthier community.” Council offers its immunisation program at venues across Greater Geelong, including Ocean Grove, Newcomb, Newtown, Corio and Belmont.

Freya, where are ya? I understand that Freya Fidge is standing for election in the set of Geelong at the upcoming. I’ve been trying without success to contact the candidate over the very serious issue of compulsory religious education in our schools. Is Ms Fidge serious about her candidacy? Does she have anywhere she can be contacted? Kevin V Russell Geelong
Don’t get mad, get even I recently returned to Geelong from the UK in time to witness and take part in the lead up to the state election. I couldn’t believe that Geelong’s council, some two years since being democratically elected, was still under the stewardship of state-appointed monitors paid $1300 a day. When I raised the monitors issues last year the council assured me it would be resolved well-ahead of the election. Well, it wasn’t, so perhaps it’s time residents resolved the issue themselves at the ballot box on 24 November. The Andrews Government’s sacking of a democratically elected mayor and councillors preceded the monitors. But an independent inquiry failed to indict any councillor for unlawful behaviour.
Buckets to Surf Coast Shire councillors who totally lost control of Torquay’s planning over the past decade or so. They could fly rainbow flags, install windmills that don’t work and endlessly fight among themselves over politics but couldn’t maintain the amenity or character of our town. What shameful incompetence.

Exercise independent will With state elections near, an assessment of issues vexing voters for many years is in order. First, public transport is an absolute debacle and long overdue for a return to government ownership, as recommended by Victorian Rail Tram and Bus Union branch secretary Luba Grigorovitch, who said in the weeks prior to the recent resigning of the contracts: "All up, the two operators have raked in over $10 billion in revenue, and $350 million in profits have been drained from the Victorian public transport system over seven years under the franchise agreements”. Mr Grigorovitch need not say much more, as commuters would know, except that Metro Trains is part owned by Hong Kong’s government and that the French government has a stake in Yarra Trams. One does not need much imagination to understand what that loot could have done for public transport in Victoria. On other matters, housing affordability and homelessness are top of the list, especially when the public housing office rakes in $320 million in rent annually. Another issue is the ability of people to live on miserly unemployment benefits when governments do not make proper effort to create enough work for all. The list is endless and, unfortunately, abject proof of the inability or lack of inspiration from that mythical creature, political will. I will vote for an independent, hoping that a balance of power held by a sufficient number of them might make a serious difference so beneficial things happen. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS
As the state election draws closer I hope all electors take the time to consider their vote very carefully. They should look past the posters and posturing to concentrate on sincerity, empathy, approachability and policy. It seems the main contest in Geelong is between Christine Couzens and Darryn Lyons. I urge voters to remember Ms Couzens achievements for Geelong and her willingness to work with all the community for the betterment of Geelong. Regarding Mr Lyons, voters should remember the reason for the sacking of Geelong’s council. Priscilla Pescott Belmont
The subsequent re-election of many of the sacked councillors highlighted the futility of their sackings. Residents have a chance to send a message to the State Labor Government to protest its attack on democracy in Geelong. Former mayor Darryn Lyons is running as an independent in the seat of Geelong against incumbent Christine Couzens who supported the council sacking. In an interesting twist, Freya Fidge, daughter of former City of Geelong nayor Jim Fidge, is running for the Liberals in the same seat. Residents should give the Andrews Government a kick by sending a strong message of protest at the ballot box. Politicians are only interested in one poll, so don’t get angry, get even. Dr Stretch Kontelj Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK
A time to remember This year Remembrance Day marks the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day at the end of WWI. On that day so long ago my English-born father, Maurice King, was at sea with the Australian Imperial Force, which had left Melbourne on 31 August. The troopship had been ravaged by Spanish influenza, and many young men had died. My father's diary recorded that on 10 November the steamship was in real danger about 48 hours off England in rough weather. On 11 November two destroyers arrived. My father wrote: "They brought news about the armistice being signed and the boys did cheer as they passed us. We are going straight to Tillbury Dock now". On 13 November he noted that the colonel had read out the terms of the armistice. That day the boys sighted something amazing, "six airships up at once over the sea". Several more aeroplanes were seen the next day. The English people were cheering and plenty of flags were flying as the boys travelled to training camp in Wales. My father then went to France and Belgium, helping the local people resume a morenormal life after the long and devastating war years. He returned to Australia in September 1919. His was not a tale of heroism, or great hardship on a battlefield, but it revealed the journey of young men who had been willing to serve their country had the conflict not ended when it did.

Museum idea bombs A proposed $500 million upgrade of the Australian War Museum (AEM) represents an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars at this fluid and encroaching time.

tor, Dr Brendan Nelson has done an outstanding job. However, the three-part, 10-year funding upgrade program demonstrates abysmal strategic judgement in light of the country's one trick Australia-United States defence alliance. Celebratory punters raising a glass need to take stock of the fact that those who made the supreme sacrifice and continue to do so would want democratic surety to remain the first priority rather than over-the-top glorification of their deeds and a thank-you mausoleum for the good doctor and his colleagues.

Browser gets the creamy Before Peter Mackinlay’s letter in last week’s Geelong Indy I read elsewhere, possibly by the same author, about the dearth of creamy honey in major Geelong supermarkets. I know about creamy honey. My parents didn’t like it but bought it for me because it was a sweet and an energy-giver. I lived in London from 1945 to 1952 when “good old Labour” would not lift wartime rationing. When I read Mr Mackinlay’s first letter I was in a Corio cafe, opposite one of the big two supermarkets. After my coffee I shopped and browsed in one, thinking: “I wonder”. Lo and behold, creamy honey in 500g pots, and something that looked similar but which was called differently and in smaller containers. Both were Australian products under a well-known pseudo-Italian name and somewhat less than $15 per kilogram. Peter West Corio
Deny dangerous ideas access Again the Geelong Indy has given Alan Barron access to cause mischief with his nonsensical understanding of global warming (Letters, 2 November). Global warming was first predicted as attributable to increased carbon dioxide levels some 120 years ago by sound thermodynamic principles, and has been since endorsed for many decades by the scientific community. The truth of these predictions has been confirmed over the last 50 years in the accelerating global temperature rise and the increased frequency of extreme weather events. Australians have for the most part recognised what the scientific community has been saying for many years, although the dire reality of what lies ahead is yet to bite. The reality is that global temperatures will continue to accelerate for many decades and would continue to rise even if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide tomorrow. The future of civilisation looks dire without total global appreciation of this crisis and a rapid transformation in the way we do things. Mr Barron’s failure to understand the problem is disturbing but far worse is the access he has to promote ideas that the Indy should
Climate of sanctimony Geelong Indy columnist Ewan Kennedy should stick to what he knows best rather than expose his ignorance with comment on extraneous fashionable issues (Motoring, 2 November). Clearly he needs to get out more often or at least pay attention to something other than his present media sources if he thinks Australian politicians “still deny the climate is changing”. To bring Mr Kennedy up to speed, nobody of any intellectual level above a motoring journalist denies “the climate” is changing. Even our politicians must know that Earth’s climates have always changed and always will, most likely back and forth. What our politicians really don’t know is the extent to which man-made emissions of carbon dioxide change the climate, the extent to which any change is problematic, and the amount of resources we should expend on this unquantified alleged problem. Nobody else really knows the answer to any of these questions, either, as evidenced by our collective inability to accurately predict a single climate-related catastrophe from the tiny percentage increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 150 years. To quote Mr Kennedy: “I’m not making this up!”. Perhaps he can now understand why most politicians, in Australia at least, are for now reluctant to blow billions of taxpayer dollars on subsidising imported electric cars unsuitable to the needs of most Australians. A Taylor Torquay
Progressively costly Globalisation and progressive politicians have destroyed Australian industry and the country’s cheap, reliable power. We want Australia governed by elected politicians, not unelected world bodies like the EU, Paris or the UN. We want our country independent. Why are our progressive politicians staying with the ridiculous Paris accord on climate change and setting unreasonable emissions targets when only six European countries are meeting their targets? This Paris agreement is estimated to cost Australians $52 billion by 2030 for what? Higher power bills and unreliable power? Darryl Rowe Clifton Springs
Fight to save values It is incumbent on the 98 per cent of Australians who believe in the natural and Biblical order of sexuality to support Presbyterian Church moderator general John Wilson’s appeal to the Prime Minister for Christian schools to continue teaching and practicing their faith. Mr Wilson has contended that society is fed a lie with suggestions that the male-female gender distinction is not a biological reality but a social construct. Schools must never teach error. The danger that a minority group with media support could distort the teaching of centuries by demanding its view becomes the norm should not be taken lightly or ignored. On Sunday we commemorate the signing of the armistice a century ago and express our thanks for the sacrifice made by 16,000 Australian soldiers killed, 160,000 injured, and the families that cared for the damaged survivors. We should honour their legacy by remembering and protecting the democratic values they fought for, which were represented by God, king and country. These were a reflection of the Christian values that are today challenged in life, from conception to the grave. They are values for which we need to fight. Pastor Frank Lowry Aberdeen Street Baptist Church

Chinese twist for Aladdin By Luke Voogt Armstrong Creek’s Jenna Irvine will swap attaching electrodes to patients’ heads for song, dance and Kung Fu in the lesser-known original version of Aladdin this month. By day the neurophysiology scientist helps diagnose epilepsy and brain conditions, by night she plays Jasmine, the headstrong daughter of the Chinese empress. “Everyone knows the Disney version but I had no idea that it (was originally set) in China,” the 30-year-old said. “She’s very strong-willed, probably more so than in the movie. When Aladdin is threatened she gets her Kung Fu skills on to try to help him out.” Aladdin is the annual show for Medimime, an acting troupe of mostly health professionals that has raised about $470,000 in 44 years for Geelong medical services. This year the group is raising money for Barwon Health’s maternity wing. “It has lots of different people that wouldn’t otherwise participate in theatre - it’s a really good group,” Irvine said. “Hopefully we can tick over $500,000 this year.” Director Scott Graham recruited Irvine to Medimime after she shared the stage with him as a contestant in a Geelong parody of Eurovision. “They were keen for me to audition,” she said. “I’ve been doing musical theatre since I was ten. It’s an escape from everything. It’s just fun.” Her first role was Mayor Munchkin in a Stawell production of The Wizard of Oz and she has been involved in local musical theatre since moving to Geelong at age 12. Aladdin is her first show with her new theatrical friends from Medimime, who helped her
celebrate her 30th birthday last weekend. “A whole bunch of the cast came here and we had a big party,” she said. “They actually wrote a song for me and sang that, which was cute.” Among her new friends is fellow Armstrong Creek resident Deanne Elliott, who plays the empress. “We car pool together to rehearsals which is handy,” she said. “She’s awesome - we get along really well.“ Elliot is life member of Medimime after joining as “ring in” at the request of a dental nurse friend 10 years ago. “They can’t get rid of me,” 31-year-old teacher told the Indy. The Chinese empress was stern and very different to the bumbling Sultan from the Disney movie, she said. “She wants to arrest Aladdin just for looking at the princess. It’s fun to play.” Like Irvine, Elliot has been involved in musical theatre most of her life and loves being part of the Medimime “community”. “It’s a lot of fun working with the cast, I adore them,” she said. “And I really love knowing that what we’ve done is helping Geelong’s hospital. Funding isn’t always available for everything University Hospital Geelong needs.” The familiar tale of poor laundry boy Aladdin’s quest for the princess’s love features classic and contemporary songs from artists like John Farnham, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. “We’ve just gone for some really contemporary songs that everybody knows,“ Elliot said. Aladdin comes to Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s drama theatre for eight shows from 16 to 24 November.

Bonza bonsai for Belmont Luke Voogt Geelong’s masters of pruning and trimming come to Belmont this weekend in a bonsai bonanza of tiny trees. Geelong Bonsai Show features more than 80 plants and a chance to meet the city’s most-talented miniature arborists. “A few eat and breathe bonsai,” said club president Paul Buttigieg. “We’re from all industries and walks of life we’ve all been bitten by the bonsai bug.“ He and fellow Geelong Bonsai Club members will show off their best-trimmed trees to inspire the city’s next batch of green thumbs. “We’re more than happy to help people start from scratch,” he said. The club has been going since 1986, and has members aged from their twenties to their nineties, with varying levels of expertise. Buttigieg started with a juniper in 2009, from a father’s day gift, and reckoned his horticulture hobby had pruned years from his life, along with not smoking. “Everyone’s got to have a hobby that takes their mind off the pressures of life and makes them enjoy being alive - for me that’s bonsai,” the 71-year-old said. “I can proudly say the juniper is still alive and thriving. Often people lose their first tree. “When I’m with the trees I forget the hustle and bustle of life. “Time stands still. By the time I’ve finished all the stress is gone.” Geelong Bonsai Club’s annual show runs on Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and Sunday, 10am to 4pm, at Geelong Masonic Hall, Belmont. The show features daily demonstrations of shaping and repotting, with bonsai, tools and pots for sale. For more information email geelong@bonsai.org.au.

Geelong pizza lovers can get a slice of the Big Apple with Domino’s New Yorker range. The huge New York inspired pizzas feature three times more cheese than Domino’s standard pizzas and slices so big customers can fold them. Domino’s Geelong franchisee Kade Seaman said the range is ideal for feeding a crowd and is the perfect social sharing food in the lead up to the festive season. “These aren’t your usual Domino’s pizzas - our authentic New Yorker pizzas are loaded with cheese, consist of softer dough and include slices so big, you need to fold them before taking a bite,” Mr Seaman said.
Domino’s has recently added a new pizza to the range, The Big Philly Cheese Steak - a huge pie cut into eight extra-large slices topped with tender Philly steak, mushrooms, red onion and capsicum on a tasty American style cheddar sauce base. The range also includes The Big Pepperoni, The Big Cheese, The Big Ham and Pineapple, The Big Pepperoni and Sausage, The Big Three Meats, The Big Pepperoni, Sausage and Mushroom, as well as a Half n’ Half option. Available from $17.95 pick up. For more information on Domino’s New Yorker range visit dominos.com.au.

Specialist in hearing help Social, health eating is a focus at Kalkee Nangatta.
Emphasis on healthy eating Maintaining a good diet and continuing to enjoy food as a social activity is especially important for older people. Uniting AgeWell Kalkee’s dementia-specific aged-care community Nangatta places emphasis on food and nutrition to support residents’ health. “We try to include residents as much as we can in the dining process, through consultation with residents on the Eat Well Committee, offering meal choices, and using fresh produce from the garden our residents help maintain,” saya senior care manager Glenda Harvey. “We also work with our dietician and speech pathologist to support residents and monitor weight loss. Pleasingly, we’ve had no unexpected weight loss.” Kalkee Nangatta meals are tailored for the needs of residents with dementia.
And the blue crockery on red placemats is about much more than aesthetics, Glenda says. “When someone has dementia, their depth perception can be distorted, which can make distinguishing carbohydrates like pasta, porridge, mashed potato or rice from white plates very difficult and so the food goes uneaten. Blue plates give the greatest so our residents can more easily identify and eat their food and maintain their weight.” Kalkee Nangatta puts on treats for special days, such as a high tea for Mother’s Day and meat pies during the AFL grand final Day, while the community’s sensory gardens offer a variety of edible plants including passionfruit, mulberries, mint and rosemary. More information about Kalkee Nangatta and tour bookings are available by phoning 5243 6688.

Implants replaces the tooth's root for a secure, permanent replacement option.
Implants look, act like teeth When a patient comes to Norlane Dental Surgery in need of a tooth replacement, dentists provide a thorough explanation of each option to help them fully understand what to expect. While solutions like dentures and bridges can be great solutions for many people, dental implants are especially beneficial for many reasons. Instead of a restoration that simply sits on top of the gum, an implant actually replaces the tooth’s root for a secure, permanent replacement option. As a result, patients can experience a number of advantages compared to alternatives. These include looking and functioning like
a natural tooth, not relying on adjacent teeth for support, no slipping, improved chewing and speaking ability, no extra maintenance and the fact that they’re a permanent tooth replacement. Dental implants can be used as a single tooth implant or to anchor dentures, depending on the needs and goals of the patient. They can also be used for a fixed bridge to replace dentures. For more information about implants and how they can improve oral function and aesthetics, contact Norlane Dental Surgery on 5278 2666.

Ford's Ranger is now Australia’s second most popular utility vehicle, with almost 30 variants available. Offered in single, super and double-cab body styles, Ranger brings the flexibility and toughness of its ladder-frame chassis and Australian-led engineering and design in both 4x2 and 4x4 powertrains. Specification levels are XL, XLS, XLT and Wildtrak. Interestingly, XL 4x2 versions also include a Hi-Rider model, which refers to the 232mm ground clearance - equivalent to the 4x4 Ranger Pick-Ups. Leading the MY19 upgrades across the range is Ford’s new five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Upper-level variants also enjoy autonomous emergency braking, with vehicle and pedestrian detection standard on Wildtrak and available as an option on XLT Pick-Ups as part of a driver assistance suite. Ranger prices start at $27,990 plus on-roads and peak at $63,990 for the Wildtrak doublecab, two-litre bi-turbo, automatic 4x4. Our test vehicle was a mid-spec Ranger XL Hi-Rider 2.2lt double-cab 4x2 auto, selling for $39,690 plus on-roads. Ranger XL gets off to a bold start with big, brawny Gorilla radiator grille sporting the Ford blue oval stamped on its forehead. The tub carries inner tie-downs but lacks a factory-fitted lining, something becoming common in these vehicles. The Hi-Rider rolls on 16-inch, no-nonsense steel wheels. Inside, the restyled ebony cabin treatment has new decorative trappings. Bucket seats up front include six-way driver’s seat adjustment with lumbar support, while clean-and-forget vinyl floor coverings make for low-stress care.
hill start assist, hill descent control on XL 4x4, load adaptive control and roll-over mitigation. Full-colour rear-view camera with guidelines is standard on pick-up modeals only and rear parking sensors are new to XL Pick-Up. Ranger’s development is part of Ford’s multi-billion-dollar investment in Australia, with local design and engineering input covering millions of kilometres at Ford facilities at its engineering and testing centre in Geelong. On bitumen and a bit of dirt the two-litre oil burner produced enough power to skip along with little trouble, even with a hillock of garden waste in the tub. Not so impressive was the tendency to hop about on the road with the tray free of load, despite suspension upgrades aimed at improving performance when fully laden or towing. The locking rear diff is a bonus for that bit extra in tougher going. Ford claims a combined urban/highway fuel consumption figure of 7.8lt per 100km for the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel. We recorded13lt per 100km around town and 6.8 on the motorway. Cruise control is close at hand with steering-wheel mounted controls, as is the adjustable speed limiter. Rear seat padding is firm but not uncomfortable and there’s ample leg room for an average-size adult. The seatback folds to reveal a resting place for the jack. The load has been lightened when accessing the tub, with a new internal mechanism making the XL’s tailgate easier to lift - a 70 per cent reduction in initial force required to close it. It’s easier to lower, too. In summary, Ford Ranger XL Hi-Rider 4x2 presents an economical alternative for those not looking for an out-and-out off-road PickUp.

LOWDOWN: Corolla Hybrid sensibly shares the tougher new look of its petrol-only stablemates.
Top Hybrid’s low on price By Alistair Kennedy Toyota has upgraded its Corolla Hybrid to offer the same three variants as the rest of the range: Ascent Sport, SX and ZR. The only visual difference to the standard range is a ‘hybrid’ badge, which makes sense because it’s the best-looking Corolla yet. Longer, lower and wider with a more coupe-like silhouette, it has a much-bolder road presence. All models get LED headlights, daytime running lights and taillights. Ascent Sport and SX have 16-inch alloy wheels, with ZR jumping up to 18. The neat interior has everything in the right place. Seats are wide, comfortable and supportive. Headroom is fine in the front but marginal for taller passengers in the back. Corolla Hybrid comes with the same powertrain as the Prius. The ‘Hybrid Synergy Drive’ uses a 1.8-litre four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle petrol engine supported by a nickel-metal hydride battery to put out a maximum 90kW and 207Nm. Fuel consumption is listed at 4.2lt per 100km. The batteries can be charged by the petrol engine when not needed to drive the vehicle and also by the braking system as the car slows or goes downhill. The Toyota CVT has seven preset overrides via the gear shift lever, with the SX and ZR also getting steering wheel shift paddles. The three driving modes are ECO, Normal and Sport. In addition to standard safety features of seven airbags, enhanced ABS brakes, stability and traction control, all Corollas get the Toyota Safety System with autonomous emergency braking, emergency brake assist, pedestrian
and cyclist detection, active cruise control, lane-departure alert; and lane trace assist. Also, a windscreen-mounted camera that recognizes speed-limit signs is a first for Toyota. SX and ZR add a blind-spot monitor and satellite navigation, with ZR also getting a colour head-up display. All models get a centrally-mounted 8-inch touchscreen operated either through large buttons or voice recognition. A new feature called Miracast allows smartphone screens to be duplicated onto the touchscreen. Ascent Sport and SX get six-speaker audio, ZR steps up to an eight-speaker JBL premium system. Satellite navigation with SUNA live traffic is standard on SX and ZR. The 2018 Corolla comes from the new modular global architecture that’s gradually being used across many of the Toyota ranges. It increases body rigidity by 60 per cent, lowers centre of gravity and, with multi-link rear suspension, this Corolla’s fun to drive. The excellent vision all round and sharp acceleration make for safe urban manoeuvring. On the open road the new Corolla felt like a car the next size up. It cruised through a hilly motorway without stress and with little of the hunting that can plague CVTs thanks to the inclusion of a torque converter. Steering was nicely weighted and responsive with safe and dependable cornering. We clocked up fuel consumption of 4.5lt per 100km on a mix of suburban and motorway driving compared to 6.1lt for the automatic petrol-only hatch. With prices ranging from $25,870 to $31,870, or just $1500 above the equivalent petrol-only models, Carolla Hybrid is great value for money.

Cats set to declare arrival LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake
ON THE BALL: North Geelong's Tom Mathieson will be crucial with the ball this weekend after 25 runs last week.
The Geelong Cricket Club appears to have the upper-hand in its match against Melbourne University after a tightly contested first day. Geelong was asked to bat first on a wicket that looked it might assist the bowlers. And so it proved as the top order was skittled in quick time to find the side at a dangerous 6/44. But stand-in skipper Tim Ludeman got things back on track with a fighting 53 off just 62 balls. He found good support from Jake Reed (37), Angus Boyd (24) and Dom McGlinchey (24) to see the Cats post a competitive 188. With 31 overs still to play to complete day one, the Geelong bowlers relished the chance to bowl on the same wicket, reducing their hosts to 5/57 at stumps. Reed and Mcglinchey both took two wickets, while Brody Couch also snared one. With 132 still to get tomorrow, Melbourne Uni will look to consolidate early, while early wickets could set the Cats on the path for a win that would declare they have arrived as a genuine threat this season. In Geelong Cricket Association, North Geelong might have pulled its season back from the brink of disaster in a must-win game against Newtown & Chilwell. Batting first at Osborne Park, the Magpies’ top order put in a determined effort that helped the side to a healthy 6/286. Layton McCann (91) top-scored batting at number three, while Andrew Fergusson (68) and Lachlan Vivian (31) did their bit. This will be a good test for the Two Blues. Their batting has been very solid so far this
campaign but if they really want to show they belong at the top of the table they need to get these runs on Saturday. On the flipside, bowlers of the calibre of Tom Mathieson and Shaun Kingwell aren't an easy prospect at the best of times and should ensure North Geelong gets its first win of the season. In division two, Highton has a very good chance to upset premiership favourite Bell Park on Saturday. The Dragons never got going with the bat last week, although 57 to Jamie Spiller suggests he did his bit because his side could only manage 193. For the Heat, young leg spinner Brady Somers starred, taking 5/50 as he decimated Bell Park’s lower order. Highton faced 10 overs to finish the first day’s play, and managed to reduce the deficit by 15 runs, most importantly without the loss of any wickets. The first hour will be crucial tomorrow as both sides feel each other out to see who will crack first, although it would appear Highton looks like taking the points. And in division three, Teesdale will have to be at its absolute best in the field on the weekend as it seeks to defend 162. The Roos’ top order had a bad day last week, falling to 7/92 at one stage. However, Bryce McDonald (55) and Sam Campbell (28) steadied the ship to at least see their side post a reasonable score. Modewarre has already wiped 29 from the target and, despite losing import Jake Hooson cheaply on the stroke of stumps last week, will still be the strong favourite to take the points this Saturday.
Snapper, big flatties caught ON THE BITE Adam Van der Lught The past week featured some great fishing, with snapper and big flathead the main attraction. Cody Carruthers fished Black Rock in 12m of water over the weekend, managing a number of big fish on pilchard and squid heads. A little closer to town, the Alcoa spoil ground was a hot spot for big pinkies, flathead and large pike. Drifting was the most effective method of working the area, especially while casting plastics on 1/8oz jig heads in 6m, although anyone chasing pike should try diving lures or plastics fished mid-water. Geelong’s waterfront hosted some great fishing. John ‘The Jigman’ Didge walked the bank casting soft plastics for around half a dozen flathead to 45cm, while bait fishing was also productive with bluebait or pilchard fillets. Schools of quality pinkies to 45cm called Queenscliff Harbour home. Fishing out from
the mouth of the channel or inside the harbour at slack tide was ideal, with silver trevally in good numbers too using bluebait or chicken. Squid fishing was still hot from Clifton Springs right around to Queenscliff, particularly on green or white jigs. Bigger squid continued to take heavy baited jibs in the deeper water of the Lonsdale Bight. Gone Fishing Charters’ Chris Vasilevski reported fantastic fishing in 45m out from Barwon Heads. Squid and couta fillet baits accounted for bag-limit amounts of pinkies to 1.5kg, although gummy sharks can also be expected in this area. Land-based fishing at Lake Purrumbete was never so good after the installation of a new jetty, allowing anglers without boats to fish out past the weed. Rainbow and brown trout to 2kg were caught on lures cast off the end of the jetty, while mudeyes fished under floats around sunrise and sunset also caught fish. Redfin to 46cm were also caught in good numbers, with soft plastics and minnow baits both working well.
RIPPER: India Robinson gouges a Penguin Parade wave on the way to her first WQS win. (WSL/Liam Robertson)
Juc girl in first WQS title Jan Juc teen India Robinson has taken her largest step yet toward a professional surfing career with a maiden victory in the sport’s World Qualifying Series. Robinson beat New South Wales’ Sophia Fulton in the final of the Phillip Island Pro in excellent surf on Sunday. A large swell prompted organisers to run the event at the island’s famous Penguin Parade, where Robinson starred on the clean, right-breaking waves. “I’m so excited and overwhelmed,” she said. “I had an absolute dream heat finding the best waves and my boards felt great.” “It’s incredible to win so close to home and be staying with close friends on Phillip

Island. The support I got was amazing. I’m looking forward to competing at Port Stephens next week and have a lot more confidence after this heat win.” Robinson amassed a heat total of 18.05 out of a possible 20 in the opening half of the final, making the task of winning almost insurmountable for Fulton. The runner-up finished with a score of 11.20. The win lifted Robinson two spots to number 24 on the tour ahead of the final event at Port Stephens, with the series providing points to qualify for the World Championship tour. The win at Phillip Island followed Robinson’s quarterfinal finish at the Florida Pro earlier this year. geelongindy.com.au
