We’re ‘petrified’: Cyclists By Matt Hewson A Geelong cycling commuter says he has been frustrated by council’s lack of response to the safety issues of recently installed bike lanes on Gheringhap and Moorabool streets. The bike lanes, part of the City of Greater Geelong’s Building Better Bike Connections project, have been a point of contention in the community since their announcement in 2019, with concerns raised over the safety of cyclists. The cyclist, who wished to remain anonymous for professional reasons, said members of the cycling community were “petrified” of using the lanes. “Every cyclist I talk to is quite terrified every time they use the lanes,” he said.

“I ride to work and I find that I’m nearly hit by cars every second day. It’s pretty bad. “So I tried to contact the council, emailing all the councillors in March and addressing my concerns about the safety of the lanes and asking what their perspectives were on it and what they were doing about it. “I got a couple of emails back, they basically said the public’s been given the information, try to keep safe.” The council’s website has links to an independent safety assessment on the lanes and council’s response to possible safety issues, with the Moorabool Street-Little Fyans Street and Kilgour Street-Gheringhap Street intersections of particular concern. The cyclist, who had perused the safety

assessment and response, said the council was only interested in “Band-Aid solutions,” noting how potentially effective improvements suggested in the assessment were to be “monitored” for “conflicts and near-misses”. “We’re a city that’s addicted to cars, I suppose, and I guess the council represents that,” he said. “It’s poorly designed, and designed for cars. I think the council’s nervous of the backlash if they try to do something that’s more progressive, that they’ll get shut down.” City of Greater Geelong city services director Guy Wilson-Browne said improvements to the bike lanes were ongoing. “We have used this assessment to introduce additional measures to address possible safety risks,” Mr Wilson-Browne said.

“This includes extra signage and line markings at the intersection of Moorabool and Little Fyans streets that raise awareness of the bi-directional bike lanes. Further mitigations will be completed as we support all of the recommendations contained in the assessment. “We are continuing to monitor traffic conditions and are responding to feedback by making improvements wherever possible.” Mr Wilson-Browne said the council was committed to the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and the promotion of cycling. “The separated bike lanes and new pedestrian crossings aim to encourage active transport and make it safer and easier for people to ride or walk. Car parking changes and safer speeds will increase safety for all road users,” he said.

Geelong turning away from God By Matt Hewson The number of people in the Greater Geelong area with non-religious or secular beliefs has overtaken those with Christian beliefs for the first time. The latest 2021 census data, released this week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, shows that 44.38 per cent of Geelong respondents are non-religious compared to 43.96 per cent who believe in a Christian faith. Geelong residents are significantly more secular than Victoria and the rest of the nation

by a margin of five to six per cent, and the data also reveals the population of Greater Geelong is becoming less religious and more secular at an even faster rate than the rest of the country. Secularism in Geelong has risen over 10 per cent from 34.09 per cent of respondents in 2016, while the Victorian and national increases were seven and nine percent, respectively, through the same period. John Perkins, president of the Secular Party of Australia (now a member of the Fusion Party), said that he was thrilled with what the new data reflected about Australians and their

religious beliefs, or lack thereof. “It definitely a cause for celebration, that people are finally seeing the light,” he said. “A lot of times when there’s a crisis such as the pandemic, people turn to religion, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. “I think people saw the value of science in their salvation rather than religion. I think that’s very important. “In times of crisis you need to think rationally, logically. Our survival depends on it. So it’s gratifying that people are not turning to religion to solve the big issues we’re facing.”

Go ‘frothy free’ during July with Billy Do you have what it takes to beat Mr Frothy himself during Dry July? Billy Brownless, who is well known for his love of a cleansing ale, will be chasing back-to-back victories this month when he returns as team captain of an important cancer fundraiser. The Barwon Health Foundation Dry July ambassador is aiming to defend his title as leader of Dry July’s number one fundraising team in Australia. The nationwide campaign challenges participants to go alcohol-free for 31 days and seek donations for their efforts in support of cancer patients. Brownless, who owns The Cremorne Hotel and Wharf Shed, has declared he will go without alcohol for a month once again to raise funds for Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre. “Last year Billy’s Frothy Fund raised $81,000 and finished on top of the national ladder and that’s where I’d like to stay,” he said. “I was blown away by the community support last time around. I had a number of local business leaders, past patients and people fundraising in honour of someone they had lost to the disease join me for the challenge. It was a great team feeling. “What we achieved for Barwon Health Foundation and the Andrew Love Cancer Centre was incredible and I am hoping this year we can do even better.” The loveable larrikin, whose mother died of cancer, is calling on the community to sign up and join him in the challenge. “Not only are you doing a great thing for the local health service, but it’s a win-win because by getting off the beers, so to speak, you have more energy, sleep better, save money, don’t waste the day with a hangover and might even lose a bit of weight,” Brownless said. “You don’t have to be perfect – you can purchase a golden ticket for a donation if you’ve got an unmissable event on that you need to toast – but if I can do it, anyone can. “I’m really proud to partner with the Barwon Health Foundation this Dry July and now I am

calling on all business leaders and individuals to join my team. Let’s do this for the Andrew Love Cancer Centre.” The Barwon Health Foundation has raised over $1 million through Dry July to enhance cancer patient comfort, care and wellbeing at

Barwon Health since 2012. Sign up at dryjuly.com/geelong, nominate for your funds to support Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre, and then search Frothy Fund to join the team.

Father James Clarke of St Mary’s Catholic church in Geelong said the data reflected the way Australians are both turning toward technology and away from institutions such as the church. “People seem to feel that their problems can be solved through technology, that technology is the great panacea for all social ills,” he said. “The bulk of Australian society seems to be turning away from institutional church, and the church, as an institution, needs to look at what’s going on and how we can be more innovative.”

Capturing the camping dollar The City of Greater Geelong is looking to tap into the growing recreational vehicle (RV) market and will examine a feasibility study into establishing a low-cost camping site in the city’s north. The opening of the new Spirit of Tasmania terminal at Corio Quay in spring 2022 is expected to bring approximately 25,000 recreational vehicles to north Geelong each year. Councillors noted the findings of the independent review into low-cost camping and requested further analysis on the potential operating model for the facility. Councillors requested further exploration of the consultant’s preferred location at Seagull Paddock in North Geelong, noting the importance of considering all potential future opportunities for the overall site. Councillors also noted that should Seagull Paddock be considered incompatible for low-cost camping when compared to other opportunities for the site currently under investigation, that council should consider calling for expressions of interest from landowners and tenants north of Cowies Creek who may be able to identify an alternate site for low-cost camping in the northern suburbs. Mayor Peter Murrihy said the city received 595 responses to public surveys about providing low-camping and amenities in Geelong’s north, including feedback from 405 residents. “Eighty-six per cent of residents supported providing low-cost camping and facilities at a site in North Geelong. Councillors will carefully consider the needs of campers and local residents, and the need to reduce the risk of illegal camping and amenity issues,” he said.

I was shocked to learn that federal MPs will receive a pay rise of almost 3 per cent from Friday, July 1. Millions of Australians, including one in six children, currently relying on JobSeeker and other welfare payments, live below the poverty line. Each day they must make incredibly difficult choices between essentials such as paying the rent, heating their home, buying medicine, or putting food on their table. Federal MPs have more than enough income to provide for their daily needs while Australians on JobSeeker and similar payments simply don’t have enough to properly survive day by day. In the wake of the pay rise they have been offered, it is surely the moral responsibility of every federal MP to agree to raise the rates of income assistance to levels that enable all Australians to live above the poverty line.

NAIDOC Week art exhibition

The colours of Country Experience Wadawurrung Dja (Country) through the art of proud Wadawurrung woman, emerging elder, cultural educator, and award-winning visual artist Dr Deanne Gilson. Dr Gilson’s exhibition features 20 original paintings and textile works that reflect her love for Dja (Country), her connection to place, and her family’s knowledge and connection to cultural heritage. Dr Gilson captures the changes throughout the six Wadawurrung seasons by painting her Dja (Country), people, plants and animals.

‘Wadawurrung Dja: Awakening Country’ is a celebration of new life as each season brings about subtle changes of birds nesting in the cool season, flowers blooming with life and the deep cultural knowledge embedded within the trees. Dr Gilson represents the colours of Wadawurrung country in her art practice, particularly white ochre she collects while walking on Country. “The colours of Country are highly personal and reclaim my culture that was missing from my early life,” she said.

“Each colour links to the act of ceremony, in particular the use of white ochre. “Using elements of Country within my art practice is really positive because you’re walking on Country, you’re gathering, you’re sourcing your materials and you’re connecting to them as you’re sourcing them. “It’s a deeper level of art for me because I’m on my traditional Country - my ancestral lands.” Dr Gilson’s exhibition Wadawurrung Dja: Awakening Country is on display until November 13 at the National Wool Museum.

Deep stories from Country will resonate as four First Nations artists combine to present a special exhibition, Show Up! in Anglesea to celebrate NAIDOC Week. Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Jenna Oldaker and BJ O’Toole, Worimi man Gerard Black and Wagiman man Nathan Patterson will share their works to help elevate the week’s messages of cultural recognition and celebration. Surf Coast Shire Council is presenting the exhibition at Anglesea Art Space for NAIDOC Week. Jenna Oldaker’s works will include a piece created in response to this year’s NAIDOC theme Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! “After I heard that I was really inspired to create something that was really specific to the exhibition and to NAIDOC Week itself,” she said. “It recognises how far we’ve come and all that our elders have had to endure and we continue to endure now, as well as how we need to stand together to drive and navigate change.” BJ O’Toole said his experiences working as a Cultural Heritage Representative with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation plays a strong role informing his art. “What I’ve learnt at a particular site that I’ve worked on maybe last week, or three months ago. All of my thoughts just come from my experience in the field. The Show Up! exhibition will run from June 30 to July 19 at Anglesea Art Space, Shop 2, 103 Great Ocean Road, from 10am to 3pm Wednesday to Sunday.

Get crafty as Papercraft returns By Matt Hewson After years of online-only events through the COVID-19 pandemic, Geelong crafters will be able to attend a face-to-face, two-day craft expo in their own backyard. The From Picture to Page and Beyond Papercraft Show, which will be held at the Vines Road Community Centre in Geelong on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24, ran from 2017 to 2019 before COVID-19 hit. From Picture to Page creative director Michelle Brown expects to see hundreds of crafters from across Australia attend the event after the two-year hiatus. “We’re excited to have crafters come together again to see new products, learn techniques and get together with like-minded crafters,” Ms Brown said. “During the lockdowns we successfully reached many of our crafters through videos on Facebook and Youtube, but it will be wonderful to return to face-to-face craft shows again.” The expo will feature specialty retailers as well as a wide range of activities, mini-classes and demonstrations. Sue Kayler-Thomson, a life-long crafter and exhibitor at the expo, said From Picture to Page’s return to Geelong was very important to the Geelong crafting community, particularly after the pandemic years. “For people that love to craft, we haven’t got anything much in Geelong anymore,” Mrs Kayler-Thomson said. “We do have one shop, which is really good, but we used to have lots and lots of stuff. If we want to find other products or speak to experts we usually have to go to Ballarat or Melbourne. “But even those places haven’t fared very well through COVID, so it’s become a more online market and it can be hard to know where to find stuff.”

The From Picture to Page and Beyond Papercraft Show will host numerous activities, classes and demonstrations for attendees.

Mrs Kayler-Thomson said Ms Brown’s craft shows were always locally focused, which could provide a big boost to Geelong retailers and consultants as well as the community in general. “I’m an independent consultant for Close to My Heart, a supplying company, and we do workshops and events to teach people how to use the products,” she said. “So for us to get an opportunity to get out there in front of the public is fantastic. Michelle tries to get local people involved as

much as possible. “It means people in Geelong get to find out what’s happening in their own town, which is really good.” Mrs Kayler-Thomson has an abiding love for scrapbooking, and said it is an excellent way to both express feelings to loved ones and provide physical objects to commemorate special memories. “One of the parts of scrapbooking I love the most is making beautiful keepsake books,” she said.

“So many people have their photos on their phones now, and they never do anything with them. But when you have a book, just seeing it makes you want to look through it. “It might be about a holiday, and reading through it is just like revisiting those holidays all over again. The memories flood back to you. “I feel really sad there’s a whole generation of kids that don’t have photos of themselves growing up. To me it’s really important, and it’s great to put something in their hands that can let them know they’re treasured.”

You’re not alone.

Council wants zero road deaths The City of Greater Geelong is aiming for zero deaths or serious injuries on its roads by 2050. The ambitious strategy follows two stages of community engagement, Vision Zero Geelong: Safe Local Travel 2022-27 and was adopted by council at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 28. Council’s approach is in line with the Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, which seeks to eliminate death from our roads by 2050. The state strategy also has a desired first step

of halving road deaths and reducing serious injuries by 2030. Mayor Peter Murrihy said council was committed to playing its part in reaching the Victorian targets, and making our roads and streets safer. “A safe and efficient transport network is a vital component of a liveable and vibrant city,” he said. “Our strategy supports the work of our road safety partners, and focuses on identifying issues and implementing solutions. “The strategy has a clear approach of

targeting the main factors that contribute to a crash, such as people, vehicles, speeds, roads and paths.” Council said it was committed to continue working with partners, such as the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Department of Transport (DoT) and Victoria Police. The Vision Zero Geelong strategy aims to improve safety for vulnerable road users, such as pedestrian and cyclists. Proposed funding for the strategy will be submitted annually, as part of council’s

budget cycle. Key actions include: • Working with the DoT to develop a speed limit strategy for all local and arterial roads; • Developing a Local Traffic Management program to address identified road safety issues; • Trialling road safety treatments that target road safety issues arising in peak visitor periods – such as seasonal speed limits and/ or rumble strips; and • Trialling school zone safety treatments.

New Lions president New Torquay Lions Club president Colin Bellis declared his theme of ‘Better Together’ will ensure local Lions will serve the community better, strengthen the club, and unearth new ways to raise funds to help those in need. Lions Vice District Governor Elect Michelle Challis formally installed the team at the changeover dinner on June 23. Outgoing president Neil Roche announced that Torquay Lions had distributed just over $54,300 to local, national and international causes during the past year. “Our leadership team has met already to plan the next 12 months,” new president Mr Bellis said. “The idea of ‘Better Together’ will drive us throughout the year. “A club which operates ‘Better Together’ will ensure our service to our community retains a very high standard, our fundraising will raise sufficient funds to meet local, national and international needs, and we will have fun while we work.

“Under Lion Neil’s guidance, Lions worked hard to raise those funds for distribution.” Local Lions have worked voluntarily doing deliveries for Feed Me Surfcoast. “Averaging six Lions delivering or loading each week, we supported Feed Me Surf Coast for 700 hours equating to $21,0000 for the past 12 months,” Mr Bellis said. Lions in the executive team supporting the president this year are Brian Keane (leadership chair), Neil Roche (service chair), Ken Farrow (secretary), Deb Law (treasurer) and Bill Ferguson (membership chair). Anyone interested in finding out more about Torquay Lions should visit torquaylionsclub. org.au or phone Bill Ferguson on 0402 121 559.

FRIDAY FEATURE

A champion for gender equality Business in Heels chief executive Lisa Sweeney initiated the Recalibrate Gender Equity Awards with one purpose in mind: to highlight the good work being done by organisations and individuals to promote gender equity in business and the workplace. She speaks with Matt Hewson.

eelong businesswoman Lisa Sweeney believes that by shining a light on the practical and effective actions of businesses and their employees the awards will inform and inspire more people to be a force for change. “A big part of the purpose of the awards is to find out what good looks like and get people talking about what they’re doing that is making a difference,” Ms Sweeney said. “Women supporting women can only go so far. Gender equality is a community and society issue, so we’ve got to have road maps for everyone. “Lots of organisations are doing really good things, so we thought these awards would be a great way to find out what they’re doing.” Having spent a long time working in corporate buying, Ms Sweeney has extensive experience with working in large organisations, often overseas.

‘‘

We’re not about women’s equality at the expense of men, we’re just about everyone being equal

’’

- Lisa Sweeney She said those experiences had helped form an awareness of the difficulties that many women face in the workplace. “Probably the most pivotal moment for me was when I was in China and I learnt about the one child policy and how it impacted parents there,” she said. “Parents were willingly abandoning girl children because they didn’t believe girls could earn enough to keep them in their retirement. It had never occurred to me before that women couldn’t earn as much. “So after that I became much more aware of the problem, and by the time I was ready to leave corporate I knew I wanted to work on making sure women were more empowered.” The Recalibrate awards, which will be held in Melbourne at Crown on Wednesday, November 16, will feature eight different awards, four each for organisations and individuals, which Sweeney believes is important to broaden people’s ideas on who can make a difference. “The individual awards allow us to look at the problem through a different lens,” she said. “Often you hear, what’s the CEO doing? But we’re also interested in what an employee can do, what middle or senior management can do.

Business in Heels chief executive Lisa Sweeney seeks to uncover the good work of businesses and organisations that promote gender equity in the workplace. (Supplied)

“We’re discovering some really fabulous stories, it’s really exciting to be getting them out there.” Ms Sweeney said that many people, especially men, often weren’t sure how to be proactive in the workplace or how to respond when faced with obvious gender inequality. “I know at the moment some men feel uncomfortable about even having conversations around this because they don’t

know what the right line is to take,” she said. “People need a road map. What does good look like, what does great behaviour look like? “A lot of organisations now are doing training around bystander intervention, so if you witness bad behaviour you’re armed with how to say something. Often when something happens everyone’s just too shocked to know how to react. “If people have training they know they can

say, hey, that’s not in line with our values, you should reframe or retract that. It’s about not making the victim the only person responsible for calling out bad behaviour.” Ms Sweeney said the barriers women face in business and the workplace were detrimental not only to them, but to society and the economy in general. “There’s proof at all levels that having more women in the workforce, more women involved in decision-making, better representation, that companies make better decisions and are more profitable,” she said. “If you talk to any employer around Australia, they’re crying out to get more employees, but they just can’t seem to find qualified ones. “At the moment in Victoria there is something like 27,000 women that would like to be employed, but for reasons like childcare it’s cheaper for them to stay at home and mind the children.” Ms Sweeney said removing such barriers to employment would allow Australian employers to access the rich resource of highly educated, highly skilled women that was currently being under-utilised, and the Recalibrate awards were helping Business in Heels uncover organisations that are doing just that. “Cotton On in Geelong have just launched a crèche for their head office, which is a very cool way for them to enable their team members to feel more comfortable working longer hours,” she said. “Coulter Legal has also got one of the first part-time female partners, which has been a real no-go zone for the legal industry. “And we’ve got companies like GMHBA that are encouraging job share even at the executive level, which is a really great way to get more women back into the workforce.” Ms Sweeney said her work was a constant source of satisfaction, but there was still a long way to go in the fight for gender equality. “We work with women every day to help them get the confidence to go for pay rises or push for promotion and get into the careers they want to have,” she said. “We help businesses scale up and become more profitable. So we all love the work we do on that side. “There are a lot of organisations geared up for this, but unless we address this as a community it’s going to be very hard. “We’re not about women’s equality at the expense of men, we’re just about everyone being equal, people being equal and having a level playing field.” Nominations for the Recalibrate Gender Equity Awards are open until Thursday, September 1.

MY GEELONG Alexandra Jeffrey is president of the National Council of Women of Victoria, Geelong Branch and is a proud Bellarine Peninsula resident. She speaks of her love for both. What’s your connection to the Bellarine Peninsula? The opportunity to connect with the broader Geelong community whilst living and enjoying the amazing land-water connection of the Bellarine Peninsula is truly a gift. What do you like about where you live? To live on the Bellarine is to appreciate the many distinct areas of land-water area conservation opportunities. We have the ability, before succumbing to overdevelopment, to seek out and implement sustainable land use, vis a vis wildlife corridors, and land trusts to preserve native flora and fauna. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? To see what I call mindful, sustainable land use in whatever housing developments eventuate on the Bellarine and interaction and working with the traditional custodians of land-water, the Wadawurrung people is of most importance to me and I believe, the community at large. Where is your favourite local place to spend time? One of the best things about living on the Bellarine is its proximity to the bay as well as to the ocean. Walking along Ocean Grove beach towards Barwon Heads is a favourite place in which to spend time, with the added benefits of good exercise and fresh sea air. Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you. People would be surprised to know that, as an Australian American, born in San Francisco,

California, I spent half of my first 20 years in Far East Asia, returned to the US to attend university and finished my undergraduate degree at the University of London, studying social policy and education. As a teacher, with a masters of science in education, curriculum and instruction, I am most interested in literacy based cross curriculum instruction, heavily weighted in early explicit phonetic instruction within a rich literature base. I am passionate about early literacy as reading and writing ability is key to life skills and success.

Tell us a bit about the National Council of Women of Victoria, Geelong Branch. The NCWV Geelong Regional Branch was started in 1944 by Geelong Mayoress Bessie Wallace. NCWV has served the Geelong community for 78 years and was notable for getting women considered for jury duty service in 1966 This year, our priority items are: • Economic security and access to living wage; • Increase public housing for homeless women (women over 55 make up one of the largest groups requiring affordable housing);

• Women’s health - equity to and access to good medical care; • Sex trafficking; and • Promoting STEM in primary schools. Each year we have an outside meeting, where we visit a local organisation and learn about its work. Funds raised are frequently directed to that organisation. Visits in recent years have been to Cottage by the Sea, the Mission for Seafarers, Geelong Art gallery, Foundation 61 (a residential centre for drug rehabilitation) and The Heritage Centre (Geelong Library) where NCWV archives are stored. This past year has seen the impacts of COVID-19 on the Geelong community particularly in regards to food insecurity. In response to this community need, the Geelong Branch donated $1000 to the Christ Church food programme serving the homeless and families in need. In addition, responding to the women, children and soldiers injured and displaced by war in Ukraine, at our 76th Annual Luncheon, raffle fund of $1000 was donated to the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Victoria for much needed medical supplies. We participate in the annual May Forum. This year’s topic was STEM: Supporting & Encouraging Women and Girls Participation in all Sectors of Science, Technology ,Engineering, and Mathematics. The Geelong Branch has supported Geelong schools to participate in the My Vote, My Voice programme, where students are given the opportunity to debate set topics in the Legislative Council of the Victorian Parliament. In addition, the Geelong Branch supports North Geelong Secondary College by awarding two $250 bursaries to students who show the most effort and progress in the literacy sphere of English as a second language.

ENVIRONMENT

Ferry crossing richly rewarded I took a voyage on the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorrento and back and loved trying to photograph the magnificent Australasian gannets at Pope’s Eye from the top deck. Gannets catch fish by forming themselves into a sort of arrow shape and diving headfirst into the water from great heights. Unfortunately, the gannets didn’t fly near the ferry, but I was thrilled to photograph an immature black-faced cormorant that flew right in front of me. Black-faced cormorants are one of the five species of cormorants found in Australia. These birds are seen in the southern areas of Australia, only around coastal habitats, and unlike the other cormorant species are not seen in inland ponds. On the subject of birds seen in coastal areas, Kevin sent me some great photos of some birds he observed at Point Lonsdale near the lighthouse. The sooty oystercatcher in Kevin’s photo is one of a pair that seem to be hanging around the area currently. There were quite a few Crested Terns on the island and cliffs, and a pair of Pacific gulls with two immature birds, perhaps a family of these gulls. Carole sent me some photos that she took when she went for a drive along the Great Ocean Road on a day that was blowing a gale, with frequent scatters of showers. The weather was shocking, but she didn’t have a choice on the day to travel.

Top: Kevin’s Pacific gulls at Point Lonsdale (left), and Jen’s black-faced cormorant. Above: Kevin’s sooty oystercatcher at Point Lonsdale (left), and Alan’s rainbow lorikeets at Basin Reserve.

Carole and her friend decided to stop once in between showers and they raced to a cliff top viewing area to see the violent, rough seas. Once Carole focused through the gales, she was amazed to see Australian shelducks roosting on the cliffs. There wasn’t just one little family, and

they tottered on the edges of the mainland as well as out in the oceanic cliffs on tiny islands. Carole loved how their colours blended in with the sandstone rocks, and they certainly weren’t fazed by the adverse weather. I must say that I’ve seen shelducks by the

hundreds in paddocks or in ponds but never on a cliff. I read on the Birdlife Australia website that the nest of the Australian shelduck is usually in a large tree hollow, but they have been known to breed in rabbit burrows, and in large hollows on cliff faces. I received an email from Alan, who ventured to the Basin Reserve on the Bellarine as he has been keeping an eye on some nesting holes that rainbow lorikeets have been investigating. Alan’s timing was perfect on the day he visited the Basin, and as he walked up to one of the hollows, the second of two birds entered the tree hollow which gave him a chance to position himself behind a bush directly in front. Both Alan and Kevin explored Blue Waters Lake in Ocean Grove. Alan observed many eastern rosellas around the lake, and a few nankeen night herons on the south side of the lake, including an immature bird. Kevin saw two or three white plumed honeyeaters and the usual swamphens, spoonbills and Australasian grebes as well as the nankeen night herons in three different trees, including a eucalypt. Alan also ventured out last week to a windy Lake Victoria, and spotted a solitary, red-necked avocet in amongst a flock of ducks. I’ve usually seen red-necked avocets in a flock, so hopefully this bird will be joined by some other avocets soon. I received an email from Sue, who was visiting the Bellarine and was wondering where she could see a yellow-tailed black cockatoo. I unfortunately couldn’t point Sue in a direction where she could definitely see one of these beautiful birds, as they do move around a lot and can be here one day and gone the next. I saw a flock of about 20 of these birds in between Leopold and Moolap on my way home from work one night.

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Children learn about inclusion By Justin Flynn The Geelong and Bellarine Peer Action Group has partnered with a local kindergarten to deliver a series of educational sessions promoting community inclusion and the value of diversity. The sessions are delivered by people with a disability and a $1900 grant from the City of Greater Geelong’s Community Investment and Support Fund made it happen. Town and Country Children’s Centre Kindergarten in Highton hosted the sessions on Wednesday. The early education program, in which self-advocates share their personal stories, create conversation, invite questions, and change community perceptions in a fun, friendly atmosphere, delivered through conventional learning materials, games, music and puppetry. An emphasis is placed on creating an inclusive community where everyone feels respected, and we celebrate what makes us unique. “The students warmly welcomed us and showed a strong interest in learning about us and our favourite things,” team leader Jana Hand said. “In our next session, we are look forward to speaking about ways to make all people feel accepted, valued, and included.” The initiative will extend to other kindergartens in the area.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK MYSTERY ROAD: ORIGIN ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

FAREWELL TO LEIGH SALES: A 7.30 SPECIAL ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

Twelve years in any job is to be commended, but hosting a current affairs show is another tough gig altogether. Tonight, host Leigh Sales (pictured) steps down as presenter of this flagship program and reflects back on some of her favourite and noteworthy moments. It’s a fitting conclusion for the exemplary reporter, who has weathered criticism, difficult guests and emotional interviews with grit and aplomb. She looks back on some of her most unforgettable interviews and invites us behind the scenes. Sarah Ferguson, who takes the reins next week, has a tough act to follow.

Origin stories are usually a domain dominated by Hollywood blockbusters – think Star Wars or Spider-Man – but the outstanding Mystery Road, which follows laconic outback policeman Jay Swan, enters the fray with this reboot. The original series starred Aaron Pedersen in the protagonist’s role across two series and films. This series looks at how the policeman’s career began. Expect the same moody, stunning scenery and film noir feel as we go back to 1999. A younger Swan (Mark Coles Smith) arrives in a mining town to start a new job. A complicated investigation, blossoming love and past trauma collide.

CELIA PACQUOLA: LET ME KNOW HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT 10, Monday, 9.40pm

Tune in for a blast from Celia Pacquola’s near past, with hilarity forecast. Since stand-up comedian and actor Pacquola (pictured) last performed this award-winning show in 2014, she’s co-written and starred in her own popular TV series (Rosehaven) and become a guest favourite on one of the country’s most-loved panel shows (Have You Been Paying Attention?). Filmed last year in Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre, it’s a well-written, uplifting exploration of Pacquola’s fears and neuroses, where she’s routinely the butt of the joke.

On the road again: Mark Coles Smith stars as outback policeman Jay Swan in Mystery Road: Origin.

LOOKING BLACK ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

In honour of NAIDOC Week, here’s a diverse and compelling curation of some of the most memorable, compelling and inspirational First Nations’ storytelling from the riches of the ABC archives. From journalists, to presenters and storytellers, the impact of Indigenous storytelling at our “Aunty” is explored, featuring interviews with actors Deborah Mailman (pictured) and Leah Purcell, and filmmaker Bjorn Stewart, among others. From shows such as Redfern Now and Total Control, to the inaugural First Nations’ journalists of the late ’80s and ’90s, to children’s show MessageStick, the power of storytelling is celebrated.

Disability pensioner David Cail feels trapped by his funeral insurance.

NEWS

(Pictures: Damjan Janevski) 281908

Trapped paying ‘junk’ insurance By Elsie Lange When David Cail’s younger sister Leanne heard he was still paying $43 a fortnight from his pension for a funeral insurance plan he signed up for 20 years ago, she couldn’t believe it. “It comes out of his food budget – there’s been times where he’s been living off a loaf of bread,” she said. Her brother is a 63-year-old disability pensioner, and after recovering from two debilitating bouts of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma since 2014, was this month diagnosed with terminal cancer in his brain. In the early 2000s, David saw an ad for funeral insurance on television. As a single man with no kids or partner he thought signing up for a $15,000 plan would take the burden off his family. Since the Independent raised the issue with TAL, the company has reached out to David to renegotiate his plan – the pensioner said he’d taken up the offer and will be reimbursed about $3800, with his premiums reduced. Until last week, he still paid premiums to TAL Insurance company, years after he had paid $15,000. To keep his access to the $15,000 plan, David had to pay premiums until he turned 90, or died. “You kind of think, hopefully I’ll die soon, that way they’re not going to get any more money and they’ll have to pay it out,” he said. He said even though it might have been in the fine print, he didn’t realise what would be required of him for decades.

The disability pensioner said he contacted the company a couple of years ago to see where he was at with his payments. As a former actor who now sometimes relied on food banks to survive because of his cancer, he asked to be given back the money he’d paid, so he could put it aside himself and accrue interest. Later, David said he took out a $4000 plan for his elderly mother, in addition to his $15,000 plan. Documents seen by the Independent show David has paid more than $20,500 in premiums for the two plans. He no longer pays her premium as she is over 90 years old. When he asked if he could transfer his $15,000 into a better plan, he said they told him no – he would have to start from scratch. “Every fortnight, on my pension week, they take it out – $43.68.” A TAL spokesperson said the company takes “very seriously” the importance of ensuring customers understand the products they purchase and the difference between insurance products and savings products. “Insurance works to cover the financial impacts of a specific event through a collective risk pool which covers the cost of all customer claims,” the spokesperson said. However, according to Financial Rights Legal Centre, many people who sign up for funeral insurance end up paying more in premiums than the benefit paid upon their death. The issue of funeral insurance has been thrust into the public spotlight recently after

the collapse of Youpla, formerly the Aboriginal Community Benefit Fund. The Consumer Action Law Centre (CALC), which provides free legal advice and pursues litigation on behalf of vulnerable consumers across the state, describes funeral insurance as a “problematic product”. CALC assistant director Cat Newton said, “funeral insurance is junk”. “For every $1 people pay in premiums, a paltry 29 cents is paid back to customers in claims across the industry,” Ms Newton said. “Anyone misled or concerned about their funeral insurance should seek legal advice, and can make a free complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.” If David lived until he was 90 but continued on his previous plan, he would have paid $43.68 a fortnight for 27 years. Calculating the number of fortnights in those approximately 1400 weeks, he would have paid more than $30,000 to TAL. The TAL spokesperson said the company “takes great care” to identify where customers may be vulnerable. “We have a range of support options available for customers whose circumstances have changed. We encourage our customers to reach out and discuss those options with us,” the spokesperson said. David said he hopes his story leads to better regulation of the industry, and shows others in a similar situation they are not alone. “It’s $44 dollars I could have for more medication, when I need it. Or $44 to buy groceries that I really need,” he said.

Serious heart disease is on the rise across Australia

Gum disease affects more than half of Aussies aged 65 and over, according to the Australian Dental Association. (iStock)

Don’t delay dental checks Happy Dental has been looking after patients from Geelong and surrounding areas for nearly 15 years. As a long standing team where you see the same familiar faces each time you come in, this small team is dedicated to caring for the needs of every patient, taking pride in supporting each patient to help them feel as comfortable as soon as they walk in the door. The Happy Dental team encourages Geelong locals to get regular check ups – these are so important to look after the health of your teeth, but just as importantly, your gums as well! Many people don’t realise that the gums play a huge role in the general health of your mouth. If patients don’t attend a dental clinic regularly for an exam and professional clean, the plaque and tartar left on the teeth can cause periodontal disease, which in the early stages, can cause red and bleeding gums. If left untreated, the gums can begin to pull

away from the teeth, forming spaces known as periodontal ‘pockets.’ Food, bacteria, and plaque begin to collect in the pockets, leading to infection and further damage, which can affect the bone that supports the teeth, resulting in teeth becoming loose and even falling out. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) reports that more than 50 per cent of those aged 65 and over have gum disease, while periodontal disease and tooth decay are the two biggest threats to dental health. However, the good news is that these conditions are easily treatable in the early stages – so make an appointment today. Happy Dental is located at 116 Shannon Avenue, Geelong West. To book an appointment, phone (03) 5229 6668 or visit www.happydental.com.au.

The week beginning Monday, June 27 and ending Sunday, July 3 is Heart Failure Awareness Week. With approximately 500,000 Australians affected and 61,000 lives claimed by heart failure each year, this equates to approximately one person dying of heart failure every three hours, and eight deaths each day of the year. As the number one cause of hospitalisations in people aged 65 and above, heart failure is on the rise in Australia. Despite the name, heart failure refers to the fact that the heart cannot keep up with the body’s demands, rather than that it has stopped or failed. As people survive heart attacks and other acute heart diseases, their likelihood of developing heart failure increases. However, with early diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle changes, a person with heart failure can reduce their risk of hospitalisation, feel better, and live a longer, healthier life. It’s important to be vigilant of any symptoms you may be experiencing. These include things such as nausea, increased heart rate and sweating, persistent coughing or wheezing, swelling in the abdomen, legs, ankles and feet, unexplained fatigue or tiredness and shortness of breath. Your doctor will complete a physical exam and ask you a series of questions. They are also likely to run tests including blood tests, chest x-rays, electrocardiograms (ECG) and stress tests on an exercise bike or treadmill. Treating heart failure can be relatively straightforward, with a variety of medicines available, as well as surgeries and other medical devices. Lifestyle changes are also

extremely important to be implemented, and can bring about a variety of positives to ensure your heart health doesn’t get any worse. For more information, speak to your GP or visit www.hearts4hearts.org.au

Live life to the fullest in a friendly retirement village In a recent survey conducted by Savvy, it has been revealed that 91.6 per cent of Australians believe that housing prices are becoming ‘unaffordable’ in the current market. Almost a third of respondents are ‘very worried’ that the current housing market is out of the reach of ordinary Australians. This correlates with data from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s December quarter report, which showed that the median house price in 2021 grew 27 per cent. With these prices skyrocketing and making purchasing a home more difficult for first-home buyers, many older people are being pushed out of the market. This is where the benefits of retirement living comes in. First home buyers generally can’t get into retirement villages – unless they are purchasing their first home as a senior citizen. There are a myriad of positives to living in a retirement community. Extensive security measures including gates, vigilant neighbors, security cameras and keycards will put your mind at ease. Many retirement communities possess onsite medical services including nursing staff and GPs, as well as self care services such as hairdressers and nail artists. Facilities also often include a pool and spa, gym room and multi purpose room. There is also the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests and values. Activities such as lawn bowls, golf, bridge and craft groups meet regularly at retirement communities and can make life far more rewarding and inclusive. The federal government has recently made changes to super provisions that may result in an easier path into the market for downsizers. Coming into force on July 1, the changes are contained within the Treasury Laws Amendment (Enhancing Superannuation

The thrill of pantomime Celebrate winter school holidays at the Potato Shed as resident theatre company Theatre 3triple2 for Kids presents its take on the evergreen pantomime classic Sleeping Beauty, with two shows daily from Tuesday, July 5 to Friday, July 8. The King and Queen of the land finally have a daughter who they love and adore – although not all the fairies in the land are happy. One not so nice fairy (some may even call her a witch) casts a spell on the young princess, declaring that when the princess turns 16, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel. The King bans all spinning wheels so no harm will come to his daughter. What happens to Rose, the lovely princess, when she turns 16? Will she prick her finger, and if so, how? Will the not so nice fairy succeed in wreaking havoc over the kingdom, or will Rose outwit and outsmart her instead?

In the age-old tradition of pantomimes, you are encouraged to boo and hiss the baddies, and cheer for the noble of character and heart. Established in 2007, resident Potato Shed theatre company Theatre 3triple2 showcases the best in local theatre on the Bellarine.

Sailing 365 days per year, enjoy an adventure across the bay beginning and ending at either Geelong, Portarlington or Docklands, with kid’s tickets free over the winter school holidays. Whether you are from Geelong or Portarlington and want a new and exciting way to travel to Melbourne, or want to explore the Bellarine and surrounds for the day, Port Phillip Ferries offers an entertaining and affordable option for the school holidays. Each vessel comfortably seats 400 passengers, with a choice between the upper deck, lower deck or two outside decks for fresh air. The ferries have on-board Wi-Fi, charging stations, tables and drop down trays for your comfort and convenience. Bring your bicycles on board so you can easily tackle transport at your destination - simply book a bike rack with your tickets online, but be quick, as only 20 bikes are carried on the vessel at a time.

There is a licensed cafe onboard offering sweet and savory snacks, coffee, juice, fizzy drinks, alcohol and other goodies from local producers such as Bellarine Smokehouse and Manzanillo Grove. The on-board cafes only accept card payments. There are plenty of toilet facilities on board each vessel, with accessibility needs met as well. Prams, wheelchairs and motorised mobility scooters are facilitated on board with access to the cafe, bathrooms and fabulous views from the lower deck. Crew members will be

The Geelong Arts Centre is welcoming a much-loved classic to its 2022 Family Magic Program, with ‘Edward the Emu’ coming from page to stage at Costa Hall on July 29 and 30. Brought to Geelong by the award-winning Monkey Baa Theatre Company, ‘Edward the Emu’ is a combined tale of both Edwina the Emu and Edward the Emu, based on the funny and heartfelt books by Sheena Knowles and Rod Clement. Follow the emu pair’s adventure as they navigate existential crises and dodge their zookeepers along the way. Adapted by Eva Di Cesare, the 50-minute show features an award-winning set, inventive storytelling, world-class puppetry and an original score. ‘Edward the Emu’ is suitable for children aged between four and 10, along with their adults. Performances are set for Friday, July 29 at 6.30pm and Saturday, July 30 at noon and 2.30pm, with the noon show a Relaxed Performance with an Auslan Interpreter. Relaxed Performances welcome audiences who would benefit from a more relaxed environment – this can include but is not limited to people with autism, sensory sensitivities, learning disabilities or dementia, as well as those living with anxiety or who have experienced trauma. The atmosphere of these performances is non-judgemental and noisy enthusiasm is embraced. Audience members are also welcome to bring headphones to reduce noise if they wish. With dimmed lights, open auditorium doors and moderated technical elements such as sound effects and strong lighting, while keeping the beloved story of Edward and Edwina the Emu completely unchanged. Having started in March and running through to August 23, the Family Magic Program is proudly supported by the Victorian government through Creative Victoria,

Tough run home for the Eagles By Matt Hewson Newtown & Chilwell A grade netball side won its seventh straight game in emphatic fashion, defeating Bell Park 65-45 at home on Saturday. The win means the Eagles maintained their four-point lead in top spot ahead of Colac, and coach Jason Woolley said every point would matter in the run-in to the finals. “We’ve got a really tough run home, which in one aspect is good because it means by the time we get to finals we should be match hardened, so to speak,” he said. “Certainly in terms of ladder position we’ve got some tough matchups against Colac and St Albans, and also Geelong West. “We’re under no illusions, it’s a tough five weeks of games ahead of us.” Newtown & Chilwell took control of the game early on, outscoring the visitors 20-10 in the first quarter and leading by 17 goals at

’’

- Jason Woolley the half-time break. The trend continued through the third term, with the Eagles stretching out the margin to 24 by the final change, and despite the Dragons clawing back some ground in the last quarter it was a comfortable victory in the end. Woolley praised Bell Park for their efforts throughout the four quarters. “They definitely lifted and showed great spirit to continue fighting through that last quarter,” he said. “We did make some changes, but to say that was the reason they came back like they did would be unfair to Bell Park, they fought

it out really well.” With veteran defender Kate Jeanes out for the foreseeable future with an ACL injury, the Eagles had to adjust their line-up this week, and Woolley said their offence had risen to the challenge. “Our attacking has been our strength in recent times, so we were able to get on top there, particularly while we start to look at what our defence will look like in Kate’s absence,” he said. “The attack end really set up the win for us in that first half.” Zanna Woods was impressive for the home side, moving from her usual position in goal attack to play in wing attack for the first half before switching to goal shooter for the remainder of the match, where she scored 16 goals. Woods’ shift to wing attack freed up Vanessa Augustini to slot into wing defence to cover Jeanes’ role, where she played a pivotal

part in disrupting the Dragons’ offensive opportunities. After this week’s bye round Newtown & Chilwell will travel to face ninth-placed team Leopold, which has gone without a win for the last four weeks, and Woolley said his side would continue to miss Jeanes’ on-court influence. “Kate’s one of those cultural drivers for us, she’s probably one of the most popular players amongst the whole group,” he said. “Defensively she really sets us up, particularly as we start to transition to a younger defensive group, she’s really important with her on-court coaching and talk. “Those are the intangibles you miss as well as the player herself.” In other games around the league, Geelong West won away against Leopold, Colac defeated St Joseph’s, South Barwon triumphed over Grovedale by 82-14, and St Mary’s lost to St Albans by two goals.

Triples premiers crowned kings of the court LOCAL TENNIS Tyler Krumholz The 2022 autumn season of Tennis Geelong Triples finished with a bang last Thursday with premiers crowned across four sections. The big winners were Moolap Tennis Club, with all three of its teams finishing as champions. Section 1 saw a matchup of the defending premiers, NSA from Drysdale Tennis Club, taking on the premiers from two seasons prior, the Night Owls from Highton Tennis Club. Both teams produced empathic upsets in the semi-finals, coming from third and fourth on the ladder, respectively. The grand final was nothing short of epic, with NSA winning each of the three doubles sets, and the Night Owls winning each of the three singles sets. NSA’s ability to make each of the singles sets slightly closer on their home court at Drysdale proved to be the difference in a 3-3 30-27 win. Moolap Zing Kings’ addition of Lachy Edgar made them the preseason favourite in Section 2, and the team finished the regular season undefeated. That record included a draw in round five against All Saints Anglican, however, so the grand final was not to be without some tension. All Saints mixed up their order from the round five encounter, a strategy that did not prove successful as Moolap only dropped six games in the singles sets. Their singles prowess, along with Bradley Canny’s three wins, propelled the Zing Kings to a 4-2 32-21 triumph. In Section 3, the Moolap Goats lost only four sets in their five rounds, so the Winks Wizards had their work cut out for them in the decider. The Wizards played some of their best tennis in the final, and the score was two sets all with the Goats leading by two games going into the last two sets. Moolap club president Matt Pettigrew inserted himself in the lineup for the final doubles set, a successful substitution that brought 6-4 win. The blockbuster singles matchup of Moolap’s Kyle Beattie and the Wizards’ Brett Salajan lived up to its billing, with Beattie closing out an undefeated season and clinching the premiership for the Goats with a 6-4 set that capped a 4-2 30-24 win. Table 29 Tennis Association finished on top of the ladder in Section 4, only losing seven sets in six matches heading to the final with Moolap’s Conc It Crew. The Crew, playing in its first season

of Triples, improved each week and had confidence heading into the grand final match up. This translated to a fast start, winning the

first two sets, including a 6-1 doubles win by Josh Similar and Danny Erihe. Table 29 scraped out one of the next two sets, but still trailed by nine games heading into the last

singles and doubles. The last two sets were won by the minor premiers, but the Crew had enough of a margin to seal a fairy tale win, 3-3 29-25. Friday, 1 July, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 29

Simpkin lifts Tigers to victory By Matt Hewson A third-quarter blitz from Colac made the difference in a tight contest with St Joseph’s in Colac on Saturday, the Tigers taking the four points with a final score of 12.8 (80) to 6.7 (43). Colac led by two goals after a cagey first half, going into the major change ahead 5.4 to 3.4, but when the game opened up in the third term the Tigers took full advantage, kicking five goals to one and taking a stranglehold on the match. Jonathan Simpkin was a stand-out for the home side, driving the Tigers’ transition into offence and scoring two goals of his own from the midfield.

Colac coach Rowan McSparron said Simpkin played a major role in his side’s win. “His third quarter was really good, he probably opened up the game himself there for a little while,” McSparron said. “He got a lot of the footy and got us going forward, he had a great game. “We probably took more of our chances when we went forward in that period. We had a similar amount of inside 50s, but we defended a little better behind the ball and got some entries a bit deeper and capitalised.” Captain Jack Melican was an important inclusion for the Tigers after a week off with illness, while Lochlan Veale was strong in the ruck against St Joseph’s big man Josh Hovey

and Tom Rieniets had the edge in his matchup with Callum Mitchell. The win kept Colac in second spot on the ladder, four points ahead of third-placed Newtown & Chilwell and trailing league leaders St Mary’s by the same margin. After the bye round this weekend Colac will play away against St Mary’s in a top of the table clash that will likely have large ramifications for the rest of the Tigers’ season. “All games are important at this time of year,” McSparron said. “You want to keep winning so you can give yourself a shot at a double chance, so it doesn’t matter if it’s St Mary’s, or Newton, or Joeys, you’ve just got to keep winning. “But if we lose it could put us right back in

Devlin fits right in among the Eagles Inside midfielder Rhys Devlin was not expecting the call-up for his first game of seniors football in a Newtown & Chilwell jumper last weekend. “I was definitely pleasantly surprised, I was pretty thrilled,” Devlin said. Devlin, who turned 19 this week, has been a consistent performer for the Eagles reserves side throughout this season, and seniors coach Damien McMahon said the youngster had been on his radar for a while now. “Rhys has played the first 11 games of the season and been one of our most consistent performers at that level in a very successful side,” he said. “He’s had a really good season and is in great form. He had a really good impact in his first seniors game, he didn’t look out of place at all. “For a young, smaller player he’s hard at the contest, he’s got good speed. He’s very much an inside 50 player, takes the ball and carries it.” Devlin said he’d worked hard over the summer and through the season so far to give himself the best chance for senior selection, a job made easier by the support he’d received from the club. “I’ve done a lot of work on things like fitness and ball use over the summer,” he said. “[Under 18 coach] Kane Marsh spoke about the things I needed to do to become a seniors player; pull the finger out, make sure footy’s an important part of your lifestyle. “And it’s been easy because the club is just great. I love the club, and the way the coaches have gone about setting up our values and what we do as a club.” Devlin said the culture at Newtown & Chilwell really important to him as a young player. “The coaches communicate with us young boys a lot about what we need to do to improve and enjoy ourselves at the club,” he said. “From that, to the standards with uniform,

to turning up to events. All the older boys embrace that really well. “It’s just a family club environment. Coming out of high school, you look for that community feeling and it really fitted well into my life.” McMahon said Devlin’s positive attitude was one of his best attributes. “He’s a real likeable character among our

group, he’s got a bit of leadership about him,” he said. “He’s always got a smile on his face, win, lose or draw. He’s a guy that’s always getting around his teammates and encouraging them to do well.”

the pack fighting for a top three finish. If we win it goes a long way to sewing that position up.” St Marys isn’t the only direct competitor Colac faces in the run home; the Tigers play Leopold in round 15 and Newtown & Chilwell in round 18, as well as sixth-placed South Barwon in round 16. McSparron said the last six games of the season were all challenging in their own right. “We’ve got some really good teams that we’re coming up against,” he said. “Leopold at Leopold is going to be a really tough one, and Newton & Chilwell at home. And Bell Park and Lara, who are both on the improve, are in there as well, our run home’s pretty solid.”

Cats snare three in draft Geelong took three selections in Wednesday’s AFLW draft at Marvel Stadium. The Cats selected former player and current Geelong VFLW deputy vice-captain Mia Skinner at pick 33, following her impressive season up forward. Geelong’s head of women’s football, Brett Johnson, said the club was thrilled to get Skinner back onto the AFLW list. “To get Mia back to the club is fantastic, he said. “We’ve always rated Mia as a forward. With her injuries in the first couple of years at the Cats we had to let her go but her form in the VFLW has been fantastic, so it’s great that she gets another opportunity.” The Cats used pick 42 to select Brooke Plummer from the Northern Knights. “Brooke is a really exciting, running defender who can play high up the ground and her greatest asset is her penetrating kick,” Johnson said. “She’s a really accurate kick too, so we think she can really help with our attack as well.” Abbey McDonald was chosen at pick 55. “Abbey is a real competitor, and we love the way she plays, Johnson said. “She defends first and is able to work off her opponent and contribute to our attack.” Essendon selected two Geelong Falcons players for itd inaugural season – Ashleigh Van Loon and Mia Van Dyke.

Captain Fiolet leads from the front to secure a Hawks win Inverleigh captain Jack Fiolet was huge in defence for the Hawks in their 36-point home victory over Winchelsea on Saturday. The key position defender won playing coach Adam Donohue’s praise for his aerial presence in Inverleigh’s defensive 50-metre arc. “A lot of the time when they got forward entries he was the one peeling off and marking the ball, or even intercepting at ground level,” Donohue said. “I think he had 11 marks for the game. When he has a matchup he generally beats his opponent, and if he doesn’t necessarily have a role he’s always floating back, leading the play in the air and stopping them from scoring.” The Hawks’ offence was also firing, outscoring the visitors six goals to two in the first quarter and five goals to none in the third 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 July, 2022

to go into the last break ahead 14.14 (98) to 4.11 (35). “When we got the ball inside 50 we were scoring pretty regularly,” Donohue said. “Once we got it in there, we’ve got some pretty dangerous targets and we made the most of that. Paddy Bourke had a large impact on the game, kicking four goals from ground level and continuing his run of form up forward. “Paddy’s been going really well on the wing, but probably a month ago we had three or four forwards out in one game,” Donohue said. “He went forward in that game and hasn’t left since. He’s kicked two or three goals every weekend and put a lot of forward pressure on, and he did that again in this game.” In a repeat of the previous round’s effort,

Winchelsea steamed back into the game in the final quarter, reducing the deficit from 63 points to 36 by the end of the match, going down 9.16 (70) to Inverleigh’s 15.16 (106). Donohue said while he would have rather seen his players continue to increase the margin through the final term he wasn’t overly worried. “Whether it was our guys looking towards next week or that we just ran out of gas, I’m not too sure,” he said. “Winchelsea just seemed to lift like they did last week, where they outscored East Geelong by 26 points in the last quarter. “So we’re not too concerned about that, the first three quarters were really pleasing.” The Hawks travel to Bannockburn to battle their neighbourhood rivals next week in a

fixture that always produces an electric contest, and Donohue said his players would need to start well and bring a high level of intensity. “Inverleigh versus Bannockburn is always a fiercely contested game of footy,” he said. “I can’t ever remember a game being over a margin of four goals, so it’ll be a close game. They always seem to get up for us and vice versa. “First and foremost we need to make sure we’re going hard at the footy. We played ANZAC Day and it was a fierce game but all fair and reasonable. “Against a team like them you’ve got to start really well, the ANZAC Day game we were five or six goals up at quarter time and they kept pegging us back, but the start won us the game.”
