Housing solutions BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera development leader has emphasised a priority for regionally unique housing to ensure the Wimmera takes advantage of a post-COVID migration increase from metropolitan cities.

Wimmera Development Association chief executive Chris Sounness welcomed the Federal Government’s 2022-23 Federal Budget expansion of the first-home buyers scheme by 35,000 places and a further 10,000 places for regional buyers.

However, he emphasised the expansion was only one part of a larger suite of community-focused and regionally specific housing policies needed to ensure the Wimmera capitalised on regional migration. He said if it was assumed Wimmera first-home buyers received a similar percentage of spots on the government-funded scheme as previously, an increase in first-home buyers to the market was still not a housingsolution ‘game-changer’. “If we look at the percentage of homes likely to be used under the scheme in the region, as a percentage

of the five to 10 percent of Australian sales covered by the scheme – it might equate to an increase of 20 Wimmera first-home buyers,” he said. “It is not really a game-changer, it doesn’t really change the supply equation much either.” Mr Sounness said the association remained eager to increase the supply of appropriate housing and the number of social and affordable housing options – solutions he expected to have a much greater impact. “The increase to the scheme is not a bad thing. It is just not a silver bullet,” he said.

“Solutions are like little puzzle pieces and of course the Wimmera’s puzzle pieces are unique and crafted for our own circumstantial situation.” Mr Sounness said an increase to the number of medium-density housing in the region would specifically allow older residents appropriate housing options to downsize. “Those family-sized homes are then released into the market,” he said. “Medium-density housing will also allow young couples, students and temporary workers, who might relocate to the region to fill holes in

the job market, appropriate housing options.” Regional-focused Australian policyadvocacy group Regional Australia Institute, which launched its newest discussion paper last week, proposed similar solutions to regional housing issues. The report, Building the Good Life: Meeting the demand for regional housing; suggested inadequate housing in many regional communities continued to constrain ‘local’ economic growth and development.

NO WASTE COLLECTION GOOD FRIDAY

A second road bridge remains a priority. Council and Regional Roads Victoria are developing a feasibility study for an alternative truck route. This will include BUILD A BRIDGE | Residents on the eastern side of the river say they will walk or cycle across the new bridge to access schools and nearby workplaces, rather than drive via Stawell Road.

CONSTRUCTION TO START IMMEDIATELY Horsham Rural City Council has secured all funding needed to allow construction of the planned Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge. Council approved a contract for the design and construction of the bridge at its March 28 Meeting. “We are extremely grateful to the state and federal governments. I am proud that our Council has been able to attract this substantial amount of money for a project in our regional city,” Mayor Robyn Gulline said. The new bridge will link the newly developed residential areas on the south-east side of the Wimmera River with Horsham’s central activity district, several schools and the Wimmera Base Hospital, and provide improved economic, safety, recreational and liveability outcomes for the city. It will also link to existing walking trails along the Wimmera River to provide a continuous

another vehicle bridge across the river. WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE? The new bridge will be cable-stayed with towers on both sides of the river supporting the decking from above. It will be different to the Anzac Bridge which is a suspension design with cables that span the river. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST RATEPAYERS? Thanks to the Federal and Victorian Governments, the entire $2.45 million project will be paid for with external

funding. WHEN WILL IT BE BUILT? Works will begin immediately on the prefabrication of steel works. The community will notice on-site works in the second half of 2022, and it will be completed by 2023.

Councillor Column: Cr Robyn Gulline Working to improve the lives of all residents is my motivation for being on Council. Before every decision, I consider the long term benefit or impact on the community. Advocating for the services and infrastructure that our residents deserve is one of my key roles as Mayor. Staff shortages are impacting every business that I speak to. With more than 1600 registered job vacancies in our region, unemployment below 3% and numerous unfilled apprenticeship places, attracting and retaining staff is a challenge as we compete with Melbourne and other regional cities. We all need to work together to support our struggling businesses to find the urgently required staff. Encouraging people to spend longer in the city will assist the profitability of our businesses. I believe in offering our residents and visitors choices, if you wish to park and walk, you need to feel safe to do so. Or if you are in a hurry or have mobility issues and wish to park in front of each business, close parking options are provided. I spend more money incidentally when I see something in the window of a store that I walk past than when I drive from business to business. At Roberts Place on November 16 and 17, residents were asked what they liked and didn’t like about the central activity district (CAD). The Draft Streetscape Plan directly responded to each of these suggestions and presented a diverse range of ideas, options and improvement opportunities.

Thank you to the 152 people who took the time to provide feedback on the Draft CAD Streetscape Plan. Although the main engagement report is yet to come, we know that broad support was received for more trees, lighting, seating and heritage restoration. The majority view was that angle parking is a priority over wide footpaths. Last weekend saw more than 300 HarleyDavidsons come to town for the Victorian State Rally. I had the pleasure of waving the flag to start the Thunder Roll on Sunday morning and then be pillion on the lead bike for my first ever motorcycle ride. Thank you to the spectators who lined the route, filming, cheering and waving to the riders. Congratulations and thank you to Bopp and the organising committee for bringing so many visitors to Horsham and showcasing the natural beauty of our region. It is wonderful to see crowds return to our events and performances. Cricket and tennis finals are now complete and the local winter sport season kicks off with football and netball this weekend. It is sad to hear that so many clubs are struggling to find enough volunteers. Hopefully those who are still reluctant and worried about COVID will regain their confidence and be active in the community again soon.

Life-changing donation S

BY NICK RIDLEY

tawell Eventide Homes agedcare facility has an extra $1-million at its disposal after a massive donation from Halls Gap’s Mangle family.

The family’s donation will help the aged-care centre establish a new dementia unit. Executive officer Gary Simpson said the donation would alleviate stress for the facility when it came to applying for government grants. He said Eventide Homes leaders would use 100 percent of the donation for building infrastructure. Mr Simpson said the Mangle family donated the money because it

‘believed’ in helping aged care in Stawell. He said the centre’s dementia unit would cost more than $1-million, but the money would make the building process easier. Mr Simpson said the new unit would create more residential-care spaces for Stawell residents. “Our community is ageing and people are living longer,” he said. “Dementia is another thing that many people suffer from. Any donations from the community are always appreciated.” Eventide Homes chair Peter Greenberger thanked the Mangle family for its generosity. “We have plans for a beautiful new

12-bed dementia wing that will stand for many years,” he said. “It is going to be a benchmark for building designs and for people living with dementia. “It will have sensory gardens, spaces for visitors, a covered outdoor gym suitable for aged people and fixtures

and fittings that will be mentally stimulating.” Family spokesperson Pip Mangle, from Halls Gap, said Eventide Homes had gone ‘above and beyond’ in looking after elderly people in Stawell. “Eventide Homes does a wonderful thing caring for aged people in our community, and as a family, we couldn’t think of a more worthy recipient of our donation,” he said. “A tour of the buildings and hearing about the history of Eventide Homes and its plans for a new dementia wing convinced us that the money is going to be used for a great cause.” Stawell Eventide Homes is home to about 97 aged-care residents and 65 residents in independent living units.

Judge visit confirmed Horsham will likely have its chance to impress a national Keep Australia Beautiful judge for national Tidy Towns awards in mid-May. Horsham Tidy Towns Committee chair David Eltringham has May 17 as a tentative date for a visit by national judge Gail Langley to inspect the rural municipality. “We therefore have about five weeks to have the city looking at its best, and our community groups that our entry will be putting forward, ready and involved for the judge to visit,” he said. Horsham is Victoria’s representative for Australia’s Sustainable Community and Tidy Town Award. Horsham Tidy Towns Committee has passed on details of the judge’s visit to Horsham Rural City Council. It has also again called for the people of Horsham to rally to ensure the city is at its best for the judge’s visit. Horsham last held the national title of Australia’s Tidy Town in 2001 and officials will announce a 2021 winner at a July gathering in Hastings. Horsham’s Kola Kennedy, also on the committee, echoed the plea for Horsham people to get behind a general clean-up for the judge’s visit. “We need residents to do their bit in presenting our home at its best,” she said. “It would be a wonderful acknowledgement of all those who have been and currently are involved in the Tidy Towns and Keep Australia Beautiful campaigns if our town could bring home the bacon and pull off the national award.”

Leaders ‘blown away’ by support Horsham Harley Owners Group director Bopp Greenberger has thanked Horsham residents for their support for helping the organisation make its social event for motorcycle riders last weekend a success. About 200 Harley Davidson motorcycle owners from across Australia rode into Horsham on Friday and left the municipality on Sunday. Riders travelled through different parts of the Wimmera, visiting attrac-

tions such as Mount Arapiles, Halls Gap and Roses Gap. Horsham Apex Club and Horsham Agricultural Society members volunteered their services to support the event. Horsham owners group registration co-ordinator Lyn Greenberger said Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline attended the rally. “She got onto the back of Bopp’s bike for the Thunder Run, rode with

everyone and had a good time. The riders were impressed,” she said. Mr Greenberger said he was ‘blown away’ by Horsham support. “I thank the whole community that got behind us,” he said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished. “We are a small chapter in Australia and the Harley Davidson officials were surprised how well organised the event was.”

An absent market From page 1 The report suggested jobs were going unfilled and unrealised due to ‘insufficient’ housing for new workers. The report emphasised there was demand for, but a shortage of, ‘nondetached’ and medium-density homes in regional Australia, an absent market it named the ‘missing-middle’. “Housing stocks need to be more diverse in order to best meet the needs and preferences of the people these regional and remote communities want to attract to fill local jobs: often young, single professionals and skilled tradespeople,” the report showed. Regional Australia Institute chief executive Liz Ritchie highlighted recent Australian Bureau of Statistics figures that showed 49,000 people migrated from Australian cities to regional areas, up from 30,000 in 2019-20. She said the institute welcomed the expanded home-loan guarantee scheme but said it was only a part of a puzzle to limit housing challenges in the regions. “While governments at all levels can play a vital role in boosting housing supply and affordability, industry and regional leaders must also come to the table to address the housing challenge,” she said. Mr Sounness agreed and highlighted the effectiveness of Wimmera-specific housing policies rather than simply ‘government policy from above’. “Are we going to be able to gear up quick enough and build enough homes to take full advantage of a first homebuyers scheme expansion?” he said. “For example, the Wimmera has the highest amount of hidden or private rentals in Victoria. These rentals are often available for people once they are part of the regional community. “There could even be a role for larger employers to play in securing temporary accommodation to meet rental shortfalls; while metropolitan workers bed themselves into the community.” Mr Sounness said the association was looking at ways to facilitate a Wimmera solution to the housing shortages and would have more to say in coming months. The Federal Government’s 2022-23 first home-buyers scheme can guarantee up to 15 percent of a standard 20 percent housing deposit, meaning buyers can secure a home loan with a five-percent deposit. The 2022-23 budget expanded the scheme from 10,000 places to 45,000, as well as a separate 5000-place category for single parents with access to 18 percent of a standard housing deposit.

Quantong anger over EPA tick BY DEAN LAWSON

frustrated group of Quantong residents has continued to promise to stop development plans for saline-wastewater treatment ponds in the rural settlement. The group remains determined to fight the idea despite the state’s environmental watchdog assessing circumstances and issuing a development licence for the project. Environment Protection Authority Victoria has granted the licence, with strict conditions, to Water Sustainability Farms to construct solar-drying evaporation facilities at Lanes Avenue, Quantong. The site would play a role in dealing with wastewater from Horsham food manufacturer Australian Plant Proteins. EPA has ordered any use of unlicensed ponds to cease, used the development licence to ap-

ply the strict conditions and will require Water Sustainability Farms to obtain a separate licence to operate after compliance with the conditions. Sally Ison of Quantong said despite the strict conditions of the licence, district people remained ‘highly’ concerned about the long-term implications of the project going ahead and were determined to stop it from happening. She said the EPA decision to grant a licence would face a major challenge, which might include taking the issue to the Victorian Civil Administration Tribunal, VCAT. “Due to a short time frame in needing to respond, we are quickly getting our resources and plans together to seriously challenge this,” she said. Mrs Ison said people on learning of the EPA decision were ‘very annoyed to say the least’. “The next step is VCAT I dare say,” she said.

“What an absolute disgrace by the powers that be. It just makes absolutely no sense to me to have this site opposite where people live and in a community that is growing tenfold. “Again common sense has gone down the drain.”

Requirements

EPA Permissioning and Development Strategy director Con Lolis said the proposed basins would allow for the evaporation of fresh water and the eventual disposal of remaining saline waste. “EPA stepped in when calls from members of the public led to the discovery that evaporation ponds had been constructed without the required approvals,” he said. “EPA officers were concerned the ponds were unlicensed and were not adequately constructed and managed to prevent saline water from leaking into the landscape, so EPA issued the

company with an official notice requiring it to cease any use of the ponds. “The company has gone through a public application process, including informing the community, and must comply with the licence and demonstrate the ponds can work without odour, leaking or other effects on the environment or community. “A key EPA requirement is for the lining, management and operation of the ponds to comply with best available practices, with a strict permeability limit built into the construction. “The proposed ponds will require a separate EPA operating licence before they can be used and must comply with that strict permeability requirement before EPA will agree to issue that operating licence.” Regardless of EPA issuing a development licence, Water Sustainability Farms will still require a planning permit from

Horsham Rural City Council to proceed. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said the council had yet to receive an application for the site. “As with all cases involving planning-permit applications, the interests of all parties will receive a fair hearing when it comes to making any assessment,” she said. Mrs Ison said Quantong residents upset about the proposal felt isolated. “We definitely feel we are on our own in this and we’re lucky to have some very informed people on our side,” she said. “I again emphasise that we’re not against development – in fact the exact opposite. But development must work ap-

propriately with community interests. Quantong was at one stage classed as having some of the best horticultural land in the country, with orchards, vegetable growers, dairies and irrigation. “Now it’s about lifestyle living where farmers and hobby farmers reside and it is getting bigger. “I feel so very sorry for those who live close to this project. “There are so many other places where no people live where that this could have gone. What a bloody disgrace. “From a primary producer, rate payer, tax payer, community volunteer and fourth-generation Quantong resident I am appalled.”

No-show disappointing for region

here was a notable and expected absentee from the guest list at a Nhill forum that allowed Mallee division candidates for the approaching Federal Election to respond to community questions.

Incumbent Member for Mallee Anne Webster from the Nationals was there, so too independents Claudia Haenel and Sophie Baldwin, as well as Citizens Party candidate Chris Lahy and United Australia Party’s Stuart King. All had an opportunity to speak about why people across a vast electorate spanning much of western Victoria should cast votes their way. But where was the Australian Labor Party representative? Not there, because the primary party trying to dislodge the Coalition from government has still yet to announce a candidate for the seat. We suspect it is not going to happen. So much for Federal Opposition leader

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

Anthony Albanese’s impassioned plea to the Australian people to consider his party when responding to the Federal Budget. It means that at the moment, if you’re registered as a Mallee resident and if you wanted to vote for Mr Albanese through a Labor representative – you simply can’t. Justification for why people have always voted for conservative representatives in this part of the world? Or punishment for the same reason? Or something else? Make up your own mind. Mallee, and Nicholls on the central Murray, also held by the Nationals, are the only Victorian federal seats for which Labor has

yet to nominate candidates for the election. We’ve said it ad-nauseum and we’ll say it again – this is more than a little disappointing, for all voters in the electorate and especially individuals keen to compare major-party policies and candidates against each other as well as the independents. The same disappointment applies for all electorates where the country’s two major political adversaries, including the Coalition, throw in an early towel. We hope Labor pulls a last-minute rabbit out of the hat for Mallee, but we’re not holding our breath. The last time we looked both Mallee and Nicholls were ‘represented’ alongside Ballarat, Bendigo, Corangamite, Gippsland, Indi, Monash and Wannon as part of Victorian Labor’s ALP’s Victoria branch Country Labor Executive. This executive supposedly ‘forms the voice of regional Victorian within the Victorian Branch of the ALP’.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rejected before

SIR, – Minutes before submissions closed I became aware of Horsham Rural City Council’s intention to tear up the entire length of Firebrace Street and convert it to bike lanes, parallel parking, wider footpaths and median strips. This proposal was rejected by the community in 2019 with guarantees that HRCC had totally abandoned it. But HRCC has a history of ignoring the wishes of the community. Several weeks ago our mayor described her council as ‘a visionary council’. My dictionary lists 39 adjectives describing ‘visionary’. These are the ones I was drawn to in the context of HRCC – impractical, unrealistic, unworkable, unfeasible, out of touch with reality, fairy-tale, fanciful, dreamy, ivory-towered, theoretical, hypothetical, starry-eyed, head-inthe-clouds, to which I add egotistical, ambitious, arrogant and finally, self-aggrandisement – through the use of other people’s money. Footpaths: I walk the full length of Firebrace Street daily and sometimes more than once. Regardless of what time I walk, I am surprised if I can count more than four to six people using a footpath on either side of any of the five blocks at any given time. Parallel parking: Everyone hates having to parallel park and no retailers want it, much less the reduction in spaces. I frequently note the presence of industrial service vehicles. None of these can be easily parallel parked yet these people bring significant custom to retailers and this HRCC ‘visionaries’ folly will just make it harder to do business. It is not fancy streetscapes that make successful shopping precincts. It is high-

quality shops whose owners are sufficiently profitable to invest in a bigger range of stock that will attract more customers. Firebrace Street retailers struggle with outrageous HRCC rates, pay obscene rates on their homes, have dealt with COVID-19 restrictions and now our ‘visionary’ council wants to impose more debt and disruption on them and all ratepayers alike for decades to come. NB: It is just 13 years since Firebrace Street was remodelled. B. Hedt, Horsham

Games a case for rail

SIR, – The Commonwealth Games are an opportunity for the Wimmera to have direct rail service restored to host events and grow. The Commonwealth Games are an incredible opportunity for regional Victoria. Cities across the state will receive investment allowing them to host events in 2026 and then grow well into the future. It’s possible to do this in a state like Victoria because of the strong V-Line rail service that connects the international gateway of Melbourne to the likes of Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong. Even Bairnsdale and Warrnambool will be able to host events and benefit from the new infrastructure that will have to be built. But the Wimmera will miss out if daily and direct rail service to Melbourne is not restored in time. Since rail was cut across the state in the 1990s, services have gradually been returned and upgraded. But the decision to convert the Melbourne to Adelaide line from Victorian broad-gauge to standard-gauge has made it more difficult to bring V-Line trains back to western Victoria.

The Overland train comes through twice a week in each direction, but the gauge issue means the trains have to detour via Geelong, adding 97 minutes to the journey. The gauge issue can be overcome. Spain has conversion sheds that can change a train from one system to the other in just a couple of minutes, with the passengers still onboard. Such sheds or similar technology in Ararat and Maryborough could see V-Line trains again servicing Horsham and Mildura. Spend anytime out here and you’ll realise how central sport is to everything. I’ve recently moved from Melbourne to start my career as a secondary school teacher. My students proudly tell me about what sports they play and what towns they represent. Some have already begun talking about the games, one year-10 student told me they believe they can represent Australia. I love their ambition, drive and passion. The lack of a direct train is a chokehold on the region that prevents growth and investment. A country Victoria Commonwealth Games should be an opportunity for the Wimmera to make the case for that service to be returned. T. Weber, Horsham SIR, – If you are sitting at home this weekend, with plans half made and promises broken, fill up your fuel tank and drive to St Arnaud. The Rail Station Art Gallery and silo wall art is more than worth the drive. Culture has boomed during lockdowns and there is always something new to see. The Rail Station Gallery has travelling itinerant exhibitions, passionate volunteers and a diverse range of locally made gifts. B. Quince, Ararat

Cr: There’s not enough money A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

group representing small municipal councils in Victoria’s northwest is busy assessing what the Federal Budget and an opposition budget response might mean for them in the near future.

Rural Council Victoria’s Rural North West committee representative and Hindmarsh Shire councillor Rob Gersch said it was important to fully comprehend the ‘fine-print’ of federal funding before assessing its specific impact on northwest Victorians. Cr Gersch said state and federal government funding remained integral to the survival of many rural councils that were not fiscally self-sustainable on rates and service charges alone. “The majority of small council funding comes from either state or federal funding and we are not fussy on which it comes from,” he said. “We in rural councils just cannot survive on rates funding alone. “In Hindmarsh, about 40 percent of our funding is through rates and about 60 percent is through service charges and grants. “Our residents can’t afford to pay higher rates, even though our rate charges are capped. But even if they were not, putting rates up wouldn’t help us. People just don’t have the capacity to pay anymore.” Cr Gersch said road funding remained the costliest expense for rural councils. He said government grants also remained the most reliable way of funding road and infrastructure upgrades and maintenance even though government grants needed to be applied for every year.

“There is just not enough money. I hope governments realise rural councils don’t have self-sustaining capacity – we need support,” he said. Cr Gersch said it was particularly important rural councils were not asked to match government funding dollar for dollar as a condition of grant acceptance. Rural Councils Victoria chair and Southern Grampians councillor Mary-Ann Brown was more critical of the budget. She said she welcomed the continuation of financial assistance and programs including Roads to Recovery, Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Bridge Renewal programs. However, she said rural Victorians needed the next Federal Government to step up to its responsibilities. “The latest ABS statistics show there has been a big shift to rural and regional areas from metropolitan Melbourne,” she said. “It is fabulous to finally see population growth in rural Victoria, but we need the federal government to help with resources to deal with the extra strain that population growth places on rural and regional infrastructure. “Rural Councils Victoria is calling on the next Federal Government to invest in agedcare, homes, roads, health, broadband, mobile services, emergency services, bridges and in the financial viability of struggling rural councils and their communities.” Cr Brown said unfortunately the budget offered nothing new of significance for rural Victoria. “The budget is disappointing for rural Victorians,” she said.

We say farewell to a pocket dynamo A

BY DEAN LAWSON

nyone who has played competitive sport will have special moments burned into their memories about specific incidents or circumstances.

This can apply for football, tennis, netball and so on. For some of us, they occurred on the cricket field. News of the death of Rupanyup cricketing legend Brian Isbel, 75, last week would have brought many of these memories flooding back for older, long-retired members of the Wimmera cricket fraternity – me among them. In the early 1980s, a couple of us naïve teenagers and tailenders at the time, went out to bat in an A Grade match against Brian ‘Izzy’ Isbel’s Panthers at Horsham City Oval. Izzy’s reputable leg-breaks had already cut a swathe through our team and warnings of ‘watch him’ from team-mates barely registered. Sure enough, after taking guard and facing this veteran we hadn’t yet come to know, a ball fizzed and bent through the air, exploded in a puff of dust as it hit the turf and broke across my chest. It left wicket-keeper Barry Ballantine with a mighty effort to haul in an awkward ball down leg side. Wow! Amid the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from fielders and personally, as a young player at the time trying to understand the craft of leg-spin, my decision then and there was to ‘try to bowl like that bloke!’ But that wasn’t the end of it. Izzy could also weigh in heavily with rapid-fire scoring when batting, often producing mighty blows that took fancied opponents by surprise. Brian, ‘Izzy’ to many, or ‘Briney’ to others close to him, died from illness complications in Lyell McEwin Hospital in Adelaide. He had been in retirement with wife Carmen at Nuriootpa in South Australia’s Barossa Valley where they had been close to family. In sport, to many of us looking on from the outer, Izzy was the quintessential cricketer – someone with an intense approach who young players could look up to and admire; someone for opponents to fear and respect and ultimately someone to enjoy sharing good company and fun with after the heat of ‘battle’. A pocket dynamo, he was considerably larger as a player, personality and leader than his relatively small frame would suggest. He loved life, be it playing sport, working in business or enjoying fishing and social occasions with friends. His talent as a cricketer took him to Adelaide district cricket in the late 1960s and, after buying a Rupanyup International farm machinery dealership and opening Isbel’s Sales and Service, he returned to the Panthers for the 1979-80 season. He became Dunmunkle Cricket Association president before the competition disbanded and captained Rupanyup to an A Grade premiership in 1981-82 – the club’s first season in Horsham association. He was also in charge of the Panthers for three consecutive flags in ’86-87, ’87-88 and ’88-89 and captained many representative teams to victories. In the 1979-80 season he captured a hefty 59

wickets while playing for Rupanyup Cavaliers and 52 in 1982-83 while representing Rupanyup in Horsham association. Records indicate that while playing for Rupanyup teams, he made 4400 runs at an average of 31 and captured 450 wickets at 15. The figures don’t reflect his time playing at an elite level in Adelaide. He was Rupanyup club president for eight years, was a club life-member and joined Horsham Cricket Association’s Hall of Fame in 2005. He also shared a long-time agricultural business with fellow former Rupanyup cricketer David ‘Scolly’ Dunlop from 1989 to his retirement in 2009. Mr Dunlop said he had many fond and lasting memories of his close friend and business partner. “These range from card and social nights at his home at Cromie Street in Rupanyup, the many fishing trips on the Murray River and, probably best of all, the fantastic cricket times and amazing successes I was fortunate enough to be involved with and share with him. Along with the rest of our mates, we were just as fortunate to enjoy the company of such a remarkable man,” he said. Fellow long-time cricketing team-mate Barry Ballantine said Izzy had the adoration of everyone involved in cricket at Rupanyup. “As a player and team-mate, you just knew he was going to always keep you in the game. He always livened everything up – he was just sensational,” he said. “He was an aggressive cricketer but as aggressive as he was on the ground, he was just as genial, engaging and great fun off the ground. “At Rupanyup we couldn’t help but look up to him. He was a great cricketer, sportsman and bloke.” Izzy’s funeral will be at Nuriootpa Sports Centre at 10am on Friday. He is survived by his wife Carmen and children Craig, Paul, Michelle and their families.

Health chief set to depart Grampians Health has an opening for a new leader at its Horsham and Dimboola campuses after confirmation of the resignation of Catherine Morley. Ms Morley announced to staff last week plans to step away from the organisation to spend more time with family. Ms Morley, former Wimmera Health Care Group chief executive, became lead executive officer for Grampians Health’s Horsham and Dimboola campuses after a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and Ballarat Health Services. Mark Knights will act in the key leadership central Wimmera role until Grampians Health establishes a new ‘regional director west’ position under a new structure. Under the new structure, each campus will also have site managers. Ms Morley joined Wimmera Health Care Group from Rural Northwest Health and has been a strong supporter for health-system reform and the creation of Grampians Health. Grampians Health chief executive Dale Fraser said the organisation sent Ms Morley best wishes in announcing her retirement from Grampians Health. “Catherine was the driving force behind the formation of Grampians Health, because of her core belief of equity in healthcare,” he said. “I personally acknowledge her commitment to the Grampians region more broadly through her leadership of Rural Northwest Health and Wimmera Health Care Group during the past 13 years. “We are currently recruiting two executive roles for Grampians Health.”

Pomonal couple to support appeal Wimmera residents and visitors will have an opportunity to experience a rare collection of cars and memorabilia at Pomonal while raising money for a good cause. Jim and Karen Leithhead will open the doors to their ‘world-class’ private museum on April 15 to coincide with The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Visitors will be able to view the couples’ 35 Lincoln vehicles and memorabilia from 10am to 3pm. Sue Baker, a friend of the couple, said both Jim and Karen deserved credit for their charitable work. “Jim and Karen are always giving to our community and decided in 2019 they would open up their private museum as a fundraiser for The Royal Children’s Hospital,” she said. Ms Baker said the couple had made a significant contribution to hospital. “They raised $10,000 that first year and last year $40,000,” she said. Entry to the museum is $20 and all proceeds will go to the appeal.

Clean-up ongoing at chemical dump

lean-up operations at an illegal chemical waste dump at Lemon Springs, 15 kilometres south of Kaniva, have removed more than 1200 tonnes of waste from the site.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria confirmed the clean-up was continuing and results from March groundwater testing were due this week. The authority also announced that planning was underway to install additional groundwater wells at the site to monitor perched water quality. It plans to keep the district community informed on the water-testing results from the wells throughout the project. EPA officials visited Kaniva earlier this year to talk to the community about the project and the impact it had on the town. The authority has been working at the KanivaEdenhope Road site since Victoria Police referred the issue to the organisation in 2018. In March last year it charged site owner Graham White with 118 offences under the Environment Protection Act 1970. It alleged Mr White permitted the transport and burial of various types of industrial waste at the site and that the dumping created an environmental hazard.

An online Melbourne Magistrates’ Court committal hearing considered the case against Mr White late last month. The court has since committed him to stand trial in County Court later this month. EPA identified about 30 sites ‘of interest’ at the Lemon Springs property and in December 2020 appointed Enviropacific as principal contractor to lead clean-up and remediation works. Ground works started in February, 2021. Investigations at the site have involved drones and ground-penetrating radar that identified suspected containers holding buried waste. Further monitoring and detailed site investigations determined precise locations and size of the burial sites, and found other locations where small amounts of waste was buried. EPA believes it has discovered all chemical waste-dump sites on the property. In late 2019 it partially excavated three major areas where it suspected waste was buried. It took samples for analysis to assess what had been buried. Site excavations began in April 2021, with the first site completed in June 2021. A total of seven excavation sites are now clear of hazardous waste, with remaining sites to follow.

Artistic freedom at Rotary showcase Murtoa artist and Horsham East Rotary Art Fair exhibitor Peter Hill has lauded the creative control and community involvement the event provides a burgeoning Wimmera art community. Hill will showcase a variety of oil-on-canvas work at Horsham Town Hall this week for the fair’s 44th edition, including several landscapes, aviation-themed paintings and still-life work. He said artists benefited from the event committee’s inclination to allow artists to exercise creative control over individual displays. “Many art fairs ask for an entry fee per work, however in Horsham artists can submit as many pieces as they want, depending on size, for the price of a single-entry fee. The committee also gave artists the freedom to hang all their own work in a defined space within the hall,” he said.

“This gives artists the freedom to determine how their work is presented, given there is so much more to art than simply its construction. “And with all your work in one area, an artist can really define their own space. It provides an enhanced artist-visitor interaction experience.” Hill said he was most excited to display several of his recent sunflower-field paintings. “Some of my work for this year’s fair also takes cue from the Wimmera and southern Mallee landscapes,” he said. Hill said he was ‘extremely’ happy to support the Rotary Club of Horsham East and contribute to the re-emergence of the artistic community post-COVID-19. • For more on the art show, see pages 30 and 31.

Dingo meeting A public meeting against the concept of introducing dingoes into Grampians National Park will be at Dunkeld Community Centre from 7pm on Monday. The Weekly Advertiser had originally reported the event happening on April 7. John and Rhonda Crawford from Victoria Valley’s Rock-Bank Merino Poll Merino Stud have organised the meeting and Mrs Crawford confirmed the April 11 date. The meeting is in response to a Victorian Parliament Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into ecosystem decline in Victoria late last year. One of the inquiry recommendations was to trial dingo introduction into the national park to assess benefits of having an extra apex predator in the environment to help balance natural ecology.

A Federal Government $2.2-million commitment to fund a business case to assess an upgrade of a Maroona to Portland rail line has won plaudits from Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline. Cr Gulline said the commitment was ‘very’ good news for the Wimmera, especially if it ultimately led to the restoration of the line. The Maroon-Portland rail line was traditionally a busy corridor for Wimmera gain movement to the Port of Portland. But it has missed out on a substantial upgrade since Australian Rail Corporation leased it in the early 2000s. Speed on the line is now limited to 40kph, leading it to become an inefficient freight option when compared with B-double trucks. Cr Gulline said restoring the line was crucial for the Wimmera in several ways. “Upgrading this key section of the Ararat-Portland line will enable more competitive freight options for grain and mineral sands to be transported to the Port of Portland,” she said. “Here in the Wimmera, we have an intermodal freight terminal that links us with Melbourne and Geelong. Regaining our rail link with Portland, Victoria’s only natural deep-water port, would make Horsham and the Wimmera even more enticing for industries to invest in. “It would also see a drastic reduction in the amount of trucks travelling to the port from the Wimmera, both now and especially in the future. “So many of these trucks currently travel right through the heart of Horsham, reducing the amenity of our city, placing costly strain on our key regional roads such as the Henty Highway. Reducing the amount of trucks will also have a positive impact on carbon emissions. “With four of the world’s largest sand-mining projects planned within a 70-kilometre radius of Horsham, for the Wimmera there is a lot riding on this upgrade.” The business case will determine the full extent of the level of upgrade needed including scope, benefits and beneficiaries. Federal Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said it would take 18 weeks to complete the business case.

Art is…, in partnership with The Weekly Advertiser, has launched the My Earth Creative Writing Competition and is calling for entries. Art is… festival is from May 20 to July 3 and writing-competition organisers are calling for entries up until close of business on May 20. Festival manager Alistair Shaw said the festival’s organising committee was keen for creative writing to be part of the celebration. “A thought piece – ‘My Earth’ and what that might mean to an author – seems the most accessible form of literature. It’s an easy form of writing and where everyone has something to say,” he said. “We wanted something that complemented our Concert for the Earth – ‘Yibunga dja, ba guragurug’. Literally, ‘To go smiling on the earth and sand’. “It’s not academic, not an essay, no references required; it’s not constrained as a form like poetry or short stories are, although poetry and short stories would also be accepted and welcomed. Just write what you think about what you want.” People keen to enter must produce a submission of between 500 and 750 words and then upload it to the Art is… website, artiswimmera. com. A judge will assess the submissions and select seven winners for publication and podcasts as well as an overall winner. Participants must have a connection with the

Wimmera as defined as The Weekly Advertiser’s distribution area and to be under 18 when the competition closes if they want to enter the youth category. People can submit any questions on an online entry page or email them to myearth@artis. wimmera.com.au. Mr Shaw said the competition presented a rare opportunity for budding authors. “What does any author want more than to be read? The Weekly Advertiser goes to about 22,000 homes across the Wimmera and a prize of being chosen and published is significant,” he said. “I love that The Weekly Advertiser, in collaboration with radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, are also going to make winning entries into podcasts, using those beautiful voices they have on radio to turn thoughts into sounds.” Mr Shaw said the festival had adopted a theme for the next few years that acknowledged that Art is… FUNdamental. “Fun is core to that. We are also focusing on one of the elements each year,” he said. “In 2022 that’s Earth, and our shows, our visual arts, our commissioned installations and our performances are tied into that theme and that element. “My Earth can mean just about anything. “It can involve talking about something personal that happened in a place that you associate with; what a land-holding means, viscerally; about the planet, and what it’s facing; about a patch of earth anywhere and how that calls to you across time and space; a hook to hang just about any emotion or thought on – it’s full of possibility.”

Kealy anxious over program wait W

immera politician and Victoria’s shadow representative for mental health Emma Kealy fears a State Government project to boost mental-health and wellbeing support in schools will take too long to introduce.

Ms Kealy, Member for Lowan, said two years was too long for parts of Victoria to wait for statewide services under the government’s Schools Mental Health Fund Menu. Education and Mental Health Minister James Merlino announced last week the government would roll out the fund to all government schools,

starting in regional Victoria in mid2022 and extending across the state by 2024. He invited service providers in the student mental-health and wellbeing sector to sign up to deliver the scheme. “We want all Victorians to have access to the tools they need to be happy and resilient – and that’s why we’re bolstering mental-health and wellbeing support at schools right across Victoria,” he said. The new menu is designed to boost mental-health support at Victorian schools to ensure children have access to a suite of mental-health tools to thrive at school and life. It is in

“Time out of the classroom and away from friends has been devastating for our kids’ mental wellbeing. They’re overwhelmed by just how hard it already is to catch up on two lost years of learning”

– Emma Kealy

response to a Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. The new ‘menu’ also underpins the government’s $200-million Schools Mental Health Fund to allow schools to select a variety of programs.

It released an interim menu last year. Ms Kealy said too many Victorian children were suffering increasing levels of anxiety and emotional stress ‘now’ and addressing the issue was already five years too late. “Time out of the classroom and away from friends has been devastating for our kids’ mental wellbeing,” she said. “They’re overwhelmed by just how hard it already is to catch up on two lost years of learning.” Ms Kealy said under-resourcing of the mental-health workforce had emerged as the number-one issue fac-

ing the sector. She said Labor governments, in control for the past 19 years, had ‘ignored dozens of reports that had mapped out solutions and immediate action to recruit more workers’. “The pandemic has made the problems in Victoria’s broken mental-health system worse,” she said. “We’re now three years into the Royal Commission’s mental-health reforms, and yet Victorian Labor has ignored the majority of interim recommendations which were related to the urgent need to build Victoria’s mental-health workforce.”

Education Minister James Merlino joined Ararat Primary School staff and students to open an upgraded basketball court. School leaders received $550,000 from the State Government’s Capital Works program for oval and sports courts upgrades to improve the standards for students. A new roof-covered area with synthetic grass surfaces and an upgrade to the oval surface and drainage are also on the agenda. Mr Merlino said he was happy to open the facilities in Ararat.

Wednesday, April 6, 2022

“It’s fantastic to visit Ararat Primary School to open the new, modern sporting facilities and to meet the staff and students who will be able to take advantage of them,” he said. Mr Merlino said it was crucial to invest in school facilities so that children from the municipality could succeed. “By investing in great sporting facilities, we’re helping our kids get out, get active and live happy and healthy lives,” he said. “We’re continuing to deliver on our education-state agen-

da by ensuring all kids have access to world-class schools and facilities, no matter where they live.” Labor candidate for Ripon Martha Haylett also attended the ceremony. Ms Haylett echoed the views of Mr Merlino and said investing in regional education was vital. “This is an example of how the Andrews government is investing in our regional and rural schools and transforming our local communities,” she said.

District childcare woes continue M

BY NICK RIDLEY

ember for Mallee Anne Webster said she understood and appreciated the frustration of Murtoa district and broader Yarriambiack shire residents trying to cope with inadequate childcare services.

Dr Webster, who visited Murtoa on Monday to discuss childcare issues with residents, said she was continuing to lobby for improvements. But she said competition for childcare funding at a Commonwealth level was considerable. “I have fought very hard for this funding and the money allocated for this round is competitive,” she said. “Murtoa will be competing with other districts such as Edenhope and Birchip. I hope it’s a smooth and successful process for Murtoa because they shouldn’t miss out on the funding.” Dr Webster, who ran a welfare chari-

ty before becoming a federal minister, said the process of applying for grants was frustrating. However, she added there needed to be allocated procedures to protect taxpayers’ money. “If the government simply started handing out loads of money anywhere, we would not impress the taxpayers who would be flipping the bill,” Dr Webster said. She said the budget would include $19.4-million to fund up to 20 new services in disadvantaged regional and remote areas that lacked suitable childcare. Dr Webster said she had been advocating within the Coalition government and had spoken with Yarriambiack Shire Council officials about the childcare issue in the shire. Yarriambiack mayor Kylie Zanker praised Dr Webster for supporting the municipality. She said as mayor she was passionate about creating more childcare fa-

cilities in the municipality. Cr Zanker said she appreciated Dr Webster’s effort in battling the bureaucracy of Canberra. “I do feel for her – it’s a challenging time and there are so many communities that need funding and we do appreciate her advocacy for Yarriambiack,” she said.

Long wait

Cr Zanker said in areas in Melbourne the wait time to get into childcare facilities was quicker in comparison with places such as Murtoa and Rupanyup. “There are quite a few parents who drive their children to Horsham for childcare, and they are happy to drive the distance. But the waiting-list time is extremely long,” she said. Cr Zanker said the lack of childcare facilities had economic impacts on the region. “An example was the hospital needed nurses when there was an extreme outbreak of COVID-19. The nurses

couldn’t work because they were unable to get their kids into childcare,” she said. Cr Zanker said she hoped Dr Webster’s government would match the $400,000 funding the council was willing to spend to deal with the issue. “I hope she can match our funding, but honestly, I hope she gives us more. We want to create buildings that can last for generations,” she said. A Murtoa farmer, meanwhile, has expressed his frustrations dealing with the Federal Government to improve childcare facilities in Murtoa and doubted Dr Webster’s influence in negotiating for more Wimmera childcare services. John Hamilton said Yarriambiack Shire Council leaders had surveyed Murtoa residents and found there were 27 families searching for childcare spots. He said Murtoa residents had identified and raised concerns about child-

care services three years ago and he and his wife had made ‘sacrifices’ to make sure their sons received appropriate care. “We have to drive to Horsham and then back to Murtoa. It takes two hours of travel,” he said. Mr Hamilton said Murtoa presented housing and development opportunities but a lack of services such as appropriate childcare was a major stumbling block. He said Murtoa had more affordable housing compared with other areas of the Wimmera, such as Horsham. He stressed if there were not improved childcare services in Murtoa there would be an unhealthy population shift. “I know there are 24 kids in my son’s kindergarten year, which is huge for a small town like Murtoa,” he said. “We have schools and affordable housing; however, it is difficult if you don’t have the facilities such as childcare.”

Mining support for careers expo Australian mineral sands company WIM Resource has thrown its support behind a combination of Wimmera jobs, career development and schools to sign on as major sponsor of Western Victorian Careers Expo. The Horsham company has joined as major sponsorship partner of the event for the next two years. The expo and partnership are designed to boost career and pathway opportunities and provide information for rural and regional students, job seekers and career changers. The June 21 Western Victorian Careers Expo will bring together expert exhibitors from industry, Wimmera business, training and higher education to provide rural and regional Western Victorians with the most upto-date, quality and comprehensive career and pathway information. Students from all of the region’s secondary schools will be attending and the event is open to the general

public. The expo, free of charge, will be at Wimmera Events Centre at Longerenong. WIM Resource is providing support for the expo based on expectations it will become a major future employer of the region and a commitment to support communities and develop the region’s workforce. Expo spokesperson Vanessa O’Loughlin said it was exciting to have WIM Resource as major sponsor. “It’s even more exciting to hear, firsthand, about the many career opportunities available for our young people,” she said. “Their investment will certainly strengthen our ability to provide ongoing career and pathway support for Wimmera and southern Mallee students and job seekers into the future.” WIM Resource is focused on developing a high-quality, heavy-mineral

sands deposit at an Avonbank mine at Dooen. WIM Resource stakeholder liaison officer Murray Wilson said the Avonbank Project would be a large-scale multi-generational mine. “It will create significant employment opportunities in the region, offering 250 direct full-time jobs and more than 600 full-time equivalent jobs every year for over 30 years,” he said. Mr Wilson said partnering with the expo was a perfect fit for WIM Resource because the company would be heavily focussed on skills and training in the future as one of the region’s major employers. “WIM is proud to come on board as a major supporter and partner and we look forward to a long association with this great event, recognised as one of Victoria’s largest and longest-running regional careers expos,” he said.

Bridge focus for Horsham H

orsham leaders will continue planning for a second vehicle bridge across the Wimmera River as they work on plans to improve transport connectivity in the regional city.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said the go-ahead for a $2.45-million pedestrian bridge at the eastern end of Hamilton Street ‘did not mean that planning for a second road bridge across the river was off the table’. “As a council we are working with Regional Roads Victoria to develop a feasibility study for an alternative truck route through Horsham. This will include another vehicle bridge across the river,” she said. State Government funding has provided Horsham with a green light to build a second major pedestrian bridge across the river. The city already has an ANZAC commemorative pedestrian bridge spanning the river between Southbank and Barnes Boulevard. The government will provide $1.225-million for the Hamilton Street project through its Regional Infrastructure Fund. The Federal Government had last year already provided money for the project through a Local Roads and Community Infrastructure contribution. The state announcement means Horsham Rural City Council will pay for the entire project with ‘external’ funding. Cr Gulline said the council was grateful to state and federal governments for the financial support. “I am proud that our council has

been able to attract this substantial amount of money for a project in our regional city,” she said. “It means the entire project’s construction will be funded at no cost to our ratepayers, which is a terrific outcome for the many community members who have called for this bridge to be constructed for years.” The council approved a contract for the design and construction of the bridge at its latest monthly meeting.

It has informed the community work would begin immediately on detailed construction drawings and pre-fabrication of steel works. Its expectations are that on-site works will start in the second half of 2022, with an aim for construction of the bridge to be complete by December 31. The pedestrian bridge will link newly developed residential areas on the southeast side of the Wimmera River with Horsham’s central business dis-

trict, several schools and Wimmera Base Hospital. The new pedestrian bridge will also link to walking trails along the Wimmera River to provide a continuous 10km loop along the river foreshore in central Horsham. Plans for a second vehicle bridge in Horsham are part of plans investigating ways to create a heavy-vehicle route to remove highway truck traffic from the city’s heart.

State backs Rainbow The State Government has confirmed a $500,000 grant for infrastructure development at Rainbow Rises Events Centre. Labor Member for Western Victoria and minister Jaala Pulford said the funding was part of the second round of the government’s Regional Infrastructure Fund. She said construction of permanent infrastructure was required to bring the Rainbow Rises Events Centre, which hosts motor sport and other events, to an appropriate standard for participants, crews, officials, volunteers and spectators. “Events at the Rainbow Rises Events Centre have put Rainbow on the national stage and we are thrilled to support this project to improve the infrastructure at the centre to build on that success for future events,” she said. Infrastructure improvements include construction of permanent and secure undercover facilities for catering services, event management, crew briefings, vehicle repairs, equipment storage, public and participant amenities, first-aid and all-weather road access. Ms Pulford said the improvements would help establish the site as Victoria’s premier off-road motorsports racing venue. She said it would create opportunities for additional events and activities. The new round follows a competitive process where regional and rural councils and other eligible groups applied for grants. “Investments like this at Rainbow Rises Events Centre demonstrate how we are supporting the projects that matter while driving a much-needed economic boost across the state,” Ms Pulford said.

Inside The Laramie Project cast

“In amongst the dark there is some light too. One of my characters provides elements of comic relief, for example”

orsham Smart Artz Theatre’s new stage-show production The Laramie Project finally hits the Horsham Town Hall stage at the weekend.

The Weekly Advertiser caught up with more of the show’s cast days before they usher Wimmera audiences into their seats for opening night on Friday. The Laramie Project is a famous verbatim stage reproduction of a small American town’s reaction to the hate crime and murder of gay university student Matthew Shephard in 1998. Cast member Beau Ladlow said he was aware before joining the cast the show’s content was ‘significant’. “My professional experience was in mental health and with young people in the region. I know it would mean a lot to the LGBTIQ people I was working with to bring this show to life in Horsham.” Mr Ladlow said he had a lot of respect for director Amy Anselmi’s theatrical and directing process. “I have worked with her before in different roles and in other capacities and I look forward to being a part of this stage production with her,” he said. “I have been involved with musical theatre for 20 years now and with this project there was an opportunity to go back to naturalistic theatre techniques and an alternative style of theatre.” Mr Ladlow said he adapted mannerisms from people he knew, big public personalities and from the media, and applied those nuances to his characters. Cast member Josh Lloyd said the

He said the cast was gelling and comradery was building a collaborative working environment. He said the production also contained many layers of nuance. “In amongst the dark there is some light too. One of my characters provides elements of comic relief, for example,” he said. Mr Lloyd said he looked forward to community conversations that came from the production.

“The show can be viewed as either a mirror or a window,” he said. Cast member Adam Roche said the Laramie story resonated with him and hit close to home. “I come from a performing-arts background before I went into radio,” he said. “I also remember when the original events in Laramie happened. “So when this opportunity came up it really resonated with me. “I don’t know if there is a stageshow better than this one for encouraging conversations about the top-

ic. So when the opportunity became available, it was a no brainer to throw my hat in the ring.” Mr Roche said being back on the stage was more ‘immediate’ than working in radio. “I can spend my afternoons in a darkish room on air and I don’t know how many people I am speaking to or who I am speaking to,” he said. “On stage you are exposed. You know who you are performing for and all you will have is your memory and cast members beside you to get through it all.”

– Josh Lloyd

He said it was important for him to separate the characters from reality as a performer. “I have to sometimes treat my characters as made-up, which is bizarre because they are real people,” he said. “But perhaps it was a coping mechanism, to allow me to switch on and off and not be affected by how heavy the show can be.” Mr Roche said he hoped everyone who saw the production would be affected in some ‘way, shape or form’. Cast member and director Amy Anselmi said she believed the show remained one of the most reproduced in the world because it did not preach a message. “It doesn’t hit you over the head with a grand moral judgement but offers a conversation starter,” she said. “Young people don’t want to just be told by adults; they want to have conversations. “And this show is a great way to open the conversation.” Tickets to The Laramie Project’s shows on Friday and Saturday evening are available at Horsham Town Hall box office, online at www. horshamtownhall.com.au, or by calling 5382 9555. A Friday morning preview of the show is also available at a reduced cost.

New head in city’s corner F

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

ederation University’s new Wimmera campus head is confident the institute’s latest executive re-jig will boost advocacy support for students studying at a Horsham campus. Christine Brown assumed her new role last week as Federation University’s Wimmera campus director, a new position the education provider has integrated into its institution-wide TAFE executive team. Ms Brown said a ‘major’ benefit of the role’s adjustment was its capacity to advocate for the campus and its students from within the university’s executive structure. “The role sits on Federation University’s TAFE executive board, which means I get to advocate for the campus from that position. It means we can get things done more effectively,” she said. “It is about increased responsiveness and I know there can be nothing more frustrating about commitments dragging out. “I am looking forward to all the great things we can do from here.” Ms Brown said this benefit was an adjustment from the role’s previous ‘head of campus’ incarnation. “While we are still looking at what our initial priorities will be, there will be an increased power to make decisions about the campus moving

forward. That is such a big part of my role – campus leadership,” she said. “To be a responsive partner not just to students, but to industry as well will help cement the campus’ long term sustainability.” Ms Brown has relocated to Horsham from Melbourne. She brings with her 22 years of experience in the training sector with a TAFE specialisation. “TAFE transforms lives,” she said. “And it was perfect timing to realise the vision of the campus. I hope to help reinvigorate the campus, position it as a vibrant hub and really grow enrolments. “This resonated with me, and I thought I could really contribute in this space. I am looking forward to cementing myself into the Wimmera community.” Ms Brown said the campus had already sought to share the campus space with aligned community groups as well as integrate industry initiatives with student learning. “It means we can undertake projects with community groups and share the campus space with them. Digitally connected classrooms will be key too, so we can reach those students disadvantaged by distance,” she said. “But we do really want to bring people back to campus – face-to-face learning is so important.”

Walsgott siblings win selection Two young Horsham siblings will mix it with some of the state’s brightest emerging multi-disciplinary athletes this year, winning selection in representative School Sports Victoria squads. Sienna Walsgott, 15, and younger brother Henry, 12, will represent the college and Victoria in the state’s 2022 aquathlon-triathlon

teams at Australian Schools Triathlon Championships in Hervey Bay, Queensland, in September. Sienna, a previous state-team qualifier, won selection as an emergency in the intermediate 15 to 16 year-old girls triathlon squad, while Henry won selection in the 11 to 12 year-old boys and girls aquathlon squad. Henry, a keen tennis, basketball and

football player and first-time aquathlon qualifier said he was ‘excited’ to head to Queensland for the competition. An aquathlon, a junior alternative of a triathlon, can either be a runswim-run or a swim-run event. The bicycle leg of a regular triathlon is removed until athletes are 13 years old.

FINANCE

t is commonly assumed that seeking financial advice is for the wealthy, and it only helps the rich become richer, yet financial advice can prove useful to anyone who wishes to better their financial future. Financial advice is like getting a health checkup for your financial situation. Your financial adviser is like your personal trainer, assisting you in achieving your best possible financial health. Seeking professional financial advice provides you with a clear path to achieve your financial goals, and that is an investment worth making.

Why invest in financial advice?

9am-noon & 1.30pm-4pm MONDAY-FRIDAY • 9am-noon SATURDAY

Henry Street

Your best investment

Financial advice isn’t only about investing your money in the share market. Want to save to buy your first home? Want to protect your children in case of your death? Want to enjoy a comfortable retirement? Don’t understand what to do with your super or how to invest in the share market? Think of a financial adviser as a one-stop shop for the majority of your financial issues in life. Come to think of it, be it your parents telling you to save money from your first job or an Instagram ‘finfluencer’ explaining the benefits of compound interest while dancing to a trendy song, these are all informal pieces of financial advice you receive throughout your lifetime. However, a professional adviser can legally provide holistic advice by reviewing your entire financial situation and your risk-taking capacity to recommend an appropriate investment portfolio. Also, an adviser’s investment recommendations are based on research, which can give you comfort over your decisions rather than constantly worrying about the investment you made based on your work colleague’s stock ‘tip’.

Is financial advice cost effective?

The financial advice industry has undergone a monumental transformation following the Financial Services Royal Commission of 2017-2019. As a result, new education and compliance

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP GradDipFP Consortium Private Wealth requirements have been legislated to further protect the client’s best interests. This has led to a drop in the number of financial advisers Australia-wide – from about 28,000 in 2018 to just 19,000 in 2021. The silver lining here is that while there are fewer advisers to choose from, the quality of advice is deemed to improve exponentially. As per Russell Investments ‘Value of an Adviser’ report, advisers added a value of about 5.2 percent to their client’s portfolios in the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the true value of financial advice is much more than comparing the fees you pay against the performance of your investments, or the tax saved on your income. A financial adviser can be a sounding board for your financial ideas, a resource to answer the simplest or most complex of queries, provide research-backed recommendations, and guide you over the long term based on their experience.

Ready to make the investment?

Your day to day job might not allow you to focus on the financial aspect of your life. In contrast, your financial adviser’s primary daily responsibility is to help you handle your finances efficiently. So, are you ready for your financial check-up? Take the first step and book an appointment with a financial adviser today. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

Mead’s plan for Wannon A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Liberal Democrat candidate has put her hand up to challenge Member for Wannon Dan Tehan in the next Federal Election.

Amanda Mead said her main goal was to try to fix the health-care system for regional and rural areas in Wannon. “A lot of hospitals and resources have been removed in Wannon and I want better health care and education,” she said. Mrs Mead said while speaking with residents within the Wannon electorate there had been a view that Mr Tehan had ‘not been attentive in dealing with residents within the district’. “Dan is not listening to what the people want,” she said. “I know he has engaged with a couple of minor groups. But the people he is getting back to aren’t getting looked after.” Mrs Mead said she planned to work with farmers to increase farming land and would advocate for nuclear-energy sources. “We need to work closer with the farmers about the land. I would want to engage with them more,” she said. Mrs Mead said she planned on reducing tax for business and farm owners. “I am a business owner myself and

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Amanda Mead I want to reduce the payroll tax. We have about a 20 percent flat business tax, I want to lower that,” she said. “We are the only party that plans to reduce taxes and politicians’ wages.” Mrs Mead said Liberal Democrat party members had a wide range of views regarding policy. “The Liberal Democrats aren’t a left or right party. We have a large range of people with different views,” she said. “We look at legislation and ask, ‘does the Federal Government need to be involved in this decision?’.” Political commentators predict the Federal Election will be in May.

Donations delight club members An anonymous individual has donated a ride-on-mower to Horsham Table Tennis Club. Club vice-president Geoff Pekin said he was surprised by the donation. “I made a comment that someone must have a second-hand ride-on mower, then suddenly I got told an anonymous donor had given one to the club,” he said. Mr Pekin said the club would use the mower to maintain grass for events at the venue. He said the club had already used the mower to tidy up before a wed-

ding, adding guests had commented the grass looked beautiful. The club was also the recipient of new seats donated by members of the Wimmera Woodturners Guild. Guild treasurer Bob Sloan said he contacted Mr Pekin about donating the chairs. “We made the seats with of some red-gum that we had, for the enjoyment of club members,” he said. Mr Sloan said Horsham Table Tennis Club was similar to the Wimmera Woodturners Guild because both clubs were looking for new members.

“We are both looking for new members and we thought this would be a good chance to promote both of our clubs,” he said. Mr Pekin said the benches looked great and everyone at the club, including people attending special events at the venue, would enjoy them. People interested in joining Wimmera Woodturners Guild can call Mr Sloan on 5382 2721. People wanting to try their hand at table tennis can call Mr Pekin on 0428 575 280. – Nick Ridley

I’m having trouble breathing since my chest infection, I have a tight chest. I’ve been to the doctor and he says there’s nothing wrong. Ever had that happen to you or someone you know? Why? Unfortunately, sometimes when we have a chest infection or bronchitis which can cause a lot of coughing or difficulty breathing, we change our breathing patterns. We can overuse some muscles which can result in the upper back and neck tightening up. It doesn’t necessarily cause a lot of pain, you just feel as though you can’t take a deep breath. So what can a chiropractor do? Chiropractic care can loosen up the rib-cage and relieve the tightness in those muscles allowing a person to breathe more easily. If that sounds like you or someone you know, give us a call to see how we can help move and breathe better.

Basin rail project hits next stage

he State Government has listed upgrades on an Ararat to Maryborough line and Merbein and Donald sidings in the next stage of a Murray Darling Basin Project.

The government has awarded a contract for the works to an alliance including ACCIONA, Coleman Rail and SMEC, supported by Rail Projects Victoria and V-Line. Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said significant planning, design and industry consultation took place in 2021 in preparation for works on the Ararat to Maryborough line. She added the work stage was scheduled to be complete by the end of the year and a modern signalling system V-Line was installing at Ararat junction to improve safety, efficiency and reduce transit time through the junction, were underway. She said design work and procurement was also underway on further upgrades, including new crossing loops and sidings, improvements to Maryborough and Dunolly junctions and signalling upgrades. “Crews recently completed 109 kilometres of re-sleepering and ballast installation,” she said. “It is estimated this stage of the project, which has involved more than 130 workers on site, is bringing over $200,000 a month to the region in spending on accommodation, food and hospitality.” The Murray Basin Rail Project has so far involved replacing more than 57,000 sleepers and installation of 30,000 tonnes of ballast. The government expects these works to be complete by mid-2022 and to remove most of the speed and heat restrictions which have limited use of the line.

Ms Allan said the works program would enable 49 train paths on the Murray Basin network, up from the current 28 paths, and remove an estimated 20,000 truck trips off the road. An additional $195.2-million investment from the Federal Government and $48.8-million from the State Government is providing a revised scope of works for the Murray Basin Rail Project. “These vital works will allow us to move more freight onto rail – boosting the safety, capacity and reliability of services and better connecting primary producers to our major ports,” Ms Allan said. “Our investment in Victoria’s freight network will enable trains to travel faster, carry more and run more often – meaning we can move more product and create more jobs for Victorians.”

Business case

Rail Freight Alliance, meanwhile, has welcomed a Federal Government commitment to fund a business case to upgrade a 172-kilometre Maroona to Portland line. RFA chair Glenn Milne said the alliance had long advocated for an upgrading of the line. “We are cautiously optimistic that finally this line will be brought up to standard. This line has been overlooked for too long,” he said. “This line links the western half of Victoria to the national grid and Port of Portland, creating a pathway to export some of Australia’s most productive farmland and mineral deposits. “The upgrading of this line will create rail competition at the ports of Geelong, Melbourne and Portland, increasing international competitiveness and creating jobs and investment in local state and national economies.”

Sponsorships

Final donation from group Ararat Breast Cancer Support Group has presented a cheque for more than $7000 to East Grampians Health Service oncology unit. The donation is the final presentation for the group, which has wound up after more than 20 years in operation. The group formed as a support group for Ararat women diagnosed with breast cancer and over the years also presented morning teas and other activities to raise money for the oncology unit. In total the group has raised $48,000 for the unit, with the money primarily going towards buying eight new treatment chairs. Additional money has also gone to other district community groups. The new chairs have increased safety features and greater padding and support, allowing for increased comfort for the patients during their treatment, which can last for many hours. Wednesday, April 6, 2022

Health service chief executive Nick Bush said Ararat Breast Cancer Support Group had been tireless in its work for the oncology unit. “Not only have they volunteered in the department, serving morning teas and lunches to the patients, but they have conducted fundraising events to provide equipment such as the treatment chairs, magazines and book holders to enhance the patients’ time spent in the unit,” he said. “The oncology nursing staff, oncologist Dr Craig Carden, haematologist Dr Pohan Lukito and patients sincerely thank all the donors for their support and especially thank the Ararat Breast Cancer Support Group and volunteers, who we hope to welcome back to the unit as soon as possible.”

The Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary was one of 65 local sporting clubs and community groups to benefit from the Clubs most recent round of sponsorships totaling $88,000. Hospice Care Auxiliary President Lea Crammond said “Thank you for your wonderful sponsorship to Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary. “We are absolutely delighted to have been supported so kindly. The funds you have generously provided for us, is to contribute to the payment of the blue divan in the photo. “This may be converted for use as a bed for family members when staying with those in hospice care.” The Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary has now received $8,261 from the HSCC to assist with their many projects overs recent years.

April 5-10, 2022

Lifelong contribution to Rotary fair BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham East Rotary Art Fair stalwart and long-time Horsham print and design professional will celebrate his final appearance at one of the Wimmera’s longestrunning cultural events.

This year’s 44th edition of the art fair will again attract a variety of artists from across the Wimmera and western Victoria for a week-long art exhibition at Horsham Town Hall. Chris O’Connor has long been a central figure on the art fair’s organising committee. He was previously a Horsham East Rotary Club chairman and received the organisation’s highest honour in March, a Paul Harris Fellowship, for his volunteer contribution to the service club. Mr O’Connor and his family will leave the Wimmera for sunny Queensland this year to start a new ‘phase’ of life. He said the fair gave Wimmera artists a ‘focal point’ in a community that could be heavily sports dominated. “There is such a large artist scene here,” he said. “When the fair first started it attracted a lot of interstate artists. But it has slowly evolved to be a great opportunity for so many of the region’s amazing artists. “Local talent has certainly become more prominent in more recent exhibitions.” Mr O’Connor said as COVID-19 restrictions eased, the fair provided an

outlet for artists who might have been stuck at home painting. “It is a chance this year for them to show everyone what they can do,” he said. He said he had noted artists in recent years were increasingly drawing inspiration from the Wimmera’s natural landscapes and exploring more varied forms of artistic expression. “Now a lot more people focus their art on natural things. Native flowers and animals seem to inspire people in the Wimmera more and more,” he said. “Photography has evolved to be a much more integral art form now, it is no longer seen as simply a photo. “Acrylic and watercolour remain really popular and sculpture and pottery have also become more popular these days, which is great.” Mr O’Connor said the fair would again attract a full bill of artists at the town hall this week. He said Wimmera artist Megan Lonsdale’s work should be popular. “Her work has that natural focus that is so great,” he said. “If she doesn’t win it, she will be up there again. She does some beautiful work.” He also praised the contribution of long-time rotary member Ken Dowsley. “Ken used to run the art fair. He had all this goodness in his head, and we couldn’t work out how he did it all. He has long been one of the most important people at our service club – he

Mr O’Connor also lauded Jane Scott, who will be the official judge of

“I have been here 63 years. It has been such a big part of my life”

this year’s artwork. “For Horsham to have Jane here is just amazing. If you look at her resume, it is just incredible,” he said.

– Chris O’Connor

“She moved here from Melbourne and to have her in town long term would be such a big thing for the Wimmera’s art community. “I really can’t believe she is in Horsham.” Mr O’Connor said he was sad to leave Horsham and noted how the region had become such a prominent part of his life. “I have been here 63 years. It has been such a big part of my life. We have been trying to get up to Queensland for a while, we have some family there,” he said.

remains the backbone of the art fair,” he said. Mr O’Connor said he had many fond memories of the art fair and its huge contribution to the Wimmera community. He said he would miss the Friday night gala that traditionally launched the fair. The opening night launch was temporarily shelved because of

COVID-19 restrictions. “The opening night was amazing. It was a chance to wine and dine and come and have an early look at the work on display. It was also a great chance to sell a lot of paintings,” Mr O’Connor said. “It was so fun getting dressed up and will be one thing I will miss a lot. Hopefully next year it can return for everyone.”

“I think I will have to get involved in service clubs up there and contribute in some way. I am looking forward to it. “It is the start of a different part of my life – retirement.” Horsham East Rotary Art Fair started yesterday at Horsham Town Hall and runs until Sunday, April 10.

An important social occasion H

BY NICK RIDLEY

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline has encouraged people from across the region to attend Horsham East Rotary Art Fair.

Cr Gulline said the art fair, which started yesterday at Horsham Town Hall, showcased the city’s diversity and was an important social occasion for the region. “People turn up to the town hall and it is wonderful. There is a wide array of art on show and it’s a great way to celebrate artistic expression,” she said. Cr Gulline said the event also showed off Horsham Town Hall, which was already returning to be a major social centre for the community and visitors. “There is normally a large attendance of Horsham residents at the fair,” she said. Cr Gulline said the Horsham community had supported the fair for a long period of time. “It has been brilliant how the community has given such vital support to the event,” she said. Rotary club members have hosted the fair since the 1970s. Last year the fair attracted more than 700 patrons and organisers are expecting similar numbers this year. Horsham East Rotary Club president

“It brings people together in the community who love art. I am a big art lover myself and it’s great to look at work from people who are so talented”

– Pam Clarke

Pam Clarke said the event, apart from being an important social occasion, was also a major fundraiser for the club. Ms Clarke, former Horsham mayor, said money from work sold would also go back to the artists. “It brings people together in the community who love art. I am a big art lover myself and it’s great to look at work from people who are so talented,” she said. Ms Clarke said Rotary was devoted to supporting charities to help with issues such as polio and cancer research. “As a club we have donated money from our other previous fundraisers to local causes such as cancer research,” she said. Horsham East Rotary Art Fair will feature work from 20 artists and continues until Sunday.

Creating a special connection Gayle Newcombe has loved animals since she was a toddler. Mrs Newcombe, a Rainbow native who now lives near Jeparit, said one of her earliest memories as a child was watching her mother sketch horses. “I can remember sitting next to her and watching her work. I loved watching her sketch this horse that just came alive on the paper,” she said. Mrs Newcombe is one of 20 artists exhibiting their work at Horsham East Rotary Art Fair at Horsham Town Hall this week. She has exhibited her work in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Tasmania. Mrs Newcombe said her focus was on connections between pets and their owners. She said she used images supplied by pet owners to create her work. “There is nothing like a dog – they don’t PET PERFECT: Gayle Newcombe is exhibiting a selection judge you and they are amazing. Every dog is of her work at Horsham East Rotary Art Fair this week.

completely different, some of the photos I use are of them playing and some of them sleeping,” she said. “I also do portrait works, however, they are hard to do. You need to get everything right – if you draw a line that is one inch too long it ruins a work. “For example, you don’t want to put too many wrinkles on a person, and don’t want to make a baby look old.” Mrs Newcombe said she received positive feedback from Wimmera people who commissioned artwork from her. “Most people are shocked I get the personality of their dog spot on,” she said. “If I can get someone to take my work home and say that they can feel something from it, I know that I have done my job correctly.” – Nick Ridley

A look at defamation

it’s

uite regularly there are high-profile cases where a celebrity or politician sues an organisation or an individual for defamation, where they believe a false statement has been made which harms their reputation.

While reputation is important for public figures, it is also incredibly important for everyday people in rural areas where reputation can make or break careers and small businesses. In this article I will discuss what defamation is, the process to be followed prior to initiating a claim and how a claim of defamation can be defended.

Who can sue for defamation?

Any living person can sue for defamation. Most companies in Victoria cannot sue for defamation, however, some companies with fewer than 10 employees and not-for-profit companies are permitted to bring defamation actions. An individual associated with a company, such as the company’s director, can sue for defamation if they have also personally been defamed.

Publication

For the plaintiff to be defamed it must be proved that the defendant published material to a third party. ‘Publishing’ has a wide definition and includes printing in a magazine or newspaper, posting on social media or a verbal comment. The test of whether the publication is defamatory can be summarised as being ‘is the publication likely to lead ordinary, decent members of the community to think less of the plaintiff?’.

Defences

Truth – Proving a truth defence is difficult and can lead to severe cost penalties when unsuccessful. Fair comment and honest opinion – A defendant might argue the publication was

THE LAW with Patrick Smith, LL.B. (Hons) B. Int. St., B.Ec., GDLP

fair comment or honest. For this defence to succeed the defendant must establish the publication was a comment – or opinion rather than a statement of fact – on a matter of public interest. The comment must also be considered ‘fair’, meaning the comment or publication expresses an opinion which any fair-minded person could honestly hold on the basis of the proven facts. The defence is defeated if the plaintiff proves the opinion was not honestly held by the defendant when the material was published.

Absolute privilege

Some publications are completely protected from defamation including anything said or done by members of parliament in the course of parliamentary proceedings and statements made in the course of court proceedings by judges, jurors, barristers, witnesses and parties. Many other situations are protected by qualified privilege, where it is deemed that it is in the interest of society for people to communicate freely. These situations include giving information to police about a suspected offence and information between an employer and their employee concerning the business. Where qualified privilege exists, a plaintiff can only succeed in a claim for defamation where they can prove the defendant was motivated by malice in making the defamatory statement.

Pre-court procedure

Prior to initiating court proceedings, a plaintiff must send a document known as a

concerns notice to the party who made the defamatory comment. This notice must be carefully drafted to meet the requirements under section 12A of the Defamation Act 2005, including where the defamatory comment-material was made, details of the comment-material, the meaning of the comment and details of the harm to reputation. The recipient of a concerns notice normally has only 28 days to voluntarily make an offer to make amends. This offer might include making an apology and paying the plaintiff’s costs. If an offer to amends is not received within 28 days then a plaintiff can issue proceedings. Generally, apologies cannot be relied upon as an admission of liability for the purposes of a defamation claim.

Remedies

If a plaintiff is successful in a claim for defamation, they will be awarded damages – a sum of money – to compensate them for damage to their reputation. Where the defendant has acted in an unjustified way, such as refusing to apologise and repeating the defamatory statement after the plaintiff has complained, the plaintiff might be awarded aggravated compensatory damages.

Time limit

Generally, court action for defamation must commence within one year of the defamation, so it is important to obtain legal advice soon after you become aware of the defamatory conduct.

Specs firm Updated Kodiaq now from $52,990 drive-away

koda has updated its threevariant Kodiaq range for 2022.

Kodaiq Style and Sportline variants continue to be powered by a 2.0-litre cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 132kW-320Nm, while the flagship RS adopts a 180kW-370Nm version of the same unit, which has effectively replaced the previous variant’s twinturbocharged diesel mill. In 132TSI format, the Kodaiq is said to have a 0-100kmh time of 8.4 seconds and an average fuel economy figure of 8.2 litres per 100km, while the now lighter RS variant lowers

The now all-petrol seven-seat SUV line-up includes all-wheel-drive across the board, alongside newly introduced stylistic and technological features. Available in Style, Sportline and RS guises, the Kodiaq range is priced from $52,990 drive-away. Previously, the Kodiaq line started from $48,540 plus on-road costs. Skoda Australia says the national drive-away offer demonstrates the Czech Republic-based brand’s commitment to offering value for money in a segment where average prices now hover close to $60,000. Rivals to the Kodiaq that have

the time of the 0-100kmh dash to just 6.6 seconds and, remarkably, fuel efficiency to 7.5L-100km. All Kodiaq variants put power to all four wheels via a seven-speed dualclutch auto transmission. The interior of the revised Kodiaq range includes generous front and second-row passenger accommodation and a 765-litre cargo area in five-seat mode. Curtain airbags are provided for all three rows, while LED headlights and scrolling indicators are now standard across the range. The MY22 Skoda Kodiaq is identified by a new-look fascia with distinctive grille and bumper design, new alloy wheels and revised tail-lights. It also offers new puddle lights, a 9.2-inch infotainment array with na-

tive satellite navigation, virtual cockpit digitised instrument panel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless device charging, keyless entry and push-button ignition, adaptive cruise control and a powered tailgate – all as standard. Options for the Kodiaq Style include adaptive chassis control, Matrix LED headlights, active seatbelts, a heated steering wheel, massaging front seats, tablet holder, sleep package adjustable rear-seat headrests, front ventilated seats and three-zone climate control. RS variants up the ante with 20-inch alloy wheels, adaptive chassis control, drive-mode selection, performance monitor and progressive rate steering. All Kodiaq variants are backed by a seven-year transferable service pack-

age, which is available from $2700 and includes roadside assistance. Skoda continues to back its passenger vehicle range with a five-yearunlimited-kilometre warranty. The Skoda Kodiaq competes in the large SUV under $70k segment in the Australian market. Just 95 examples of the model have been sold to date this year, placing the Kodiaq well behind the majority of its rivals. The segment is dominated by Mazda CX-9 with 1199 unit sales, Toyota Kluger, 936, Mazda CX-8, 780, Kia Sorento, 560 and Hyundai Santa Fe, 468. The MY22 Skoda Kodiaq range is available now. – Matt Brogan

The flagship variant, which retails for less than $40,000, adds a suite of sporty design elements and equipment to the French light SUV. The Captur range has increased in price by between $1300 and $1900 since the beginning of the year, with the entry-level Captur Life now retailing from $30,090, plus on-road costs. Mid-tier Zen and Intens variants climb by $1300 to $32,090 and $37,090 respectively, plus on-road costs.

tre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine found elsewhere in the Captur line-up. Captur variants are fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as standard and are exclusively front-wheel driven. Fuel consumption for the range is pegged at 6.6 litres per 100km on the ADR combined cycle with CO2 emissions listed at 149 grams per kilometre. Compared with the old model, the new Captur is claimed to offer 17mm more rear legroom, as well as an extra 81 litres of cargo space, now 536 litres, no doubt thanks to the 110mm of extra body length, now 4227mm, and the sliding second row with a 160mm range of adjustment. Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey said Captur RS Line channelled the strong sporting heritage of the Renault brand as it continued to expand its product offering in Australia. “With strategic additions like this Captur RS Line, Renault is offering consumers even more choice as we begin to grow the product portfolio,” he said. “With new commercial vehicles arriving later this year, and the recent well-received reveal of the Megane E-Tech, exciting times are ahead for Renault.” – Matt Brogan

Top-selling truck on its way

ord Australia will reintroduce the F-150 in Australia by mid2023, but unlike the Mustang sportscar, which is imported in right-hand-drive guise, the Blue Oval’s US-sourced large truck will be remanufactured locally as part of a program with RMA Automotive Holdings.

In what is said to be the only Ford program of its kind globally, Ford Australia has engaged engineering specialist RMA Automotive to remanufacture Australian-delivered F-150s to right-hand drive, meeting all applicable Australian Design Rules, ADRs, and safety regulations. The F-150 is part of the States’ best-selling vehicle line for the past 40 years. The latest iteration was launched as recently as 2020. In Australia, it will be available throughout the Blue Oval’s nationwide dealer network and will be offered with a five-year-unlimited-kilometre warranty. Ford Australia’s global trucks enterprise product line manager Natalie Manariti said the F-150, a rival to the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado models, would make a belated return to Australia, where it would appeal to customers who wanted Ford’s ‘biggest, boldest and most capable pickup’. “We’ve listened hard to fans and dealers and found a way to bring F-150 to Australia,” she said.

RETURNING: Ford Australia has engaged engineering specialist RMA Automotive to remanufacture Australiandelivered F-150s to right-hand drive. Ford Australia and NZ president and chief executive Andrew Birkic said with full-sized truck sales in Australia tripling in recent years, ‘we just knew we had to find a way to bring it back to Australia’. “Whenever I speak to our dealers, they tell me that customers consistently ask about F-150, ask when it is coming, so I am very proud to now be able to say it’s heading our way,” he said. “There are just so many passionate F-150 fans out there and we’re all thrilled to be able to bring this iconic truck to our roads with lo-

cally remanufactured RHD models.” Ford Australia’s product development team, which helped to hone the next-gen Ranger and Everest, played a key role in bringing the F-150 to Australia. Working in conjunction with their counterparts in North America, they will collaborate with RMA Automotive. As a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier, RMA has more than 30 years of engineering expertise and has delivered more than 100,000 modified Ford vehicles globally to date. Remanufacturing of the vehicles from left to right-hand drive will take

place in an RMA Automotive-leased facility at Merrifield Business Park in Mickleham, north of Melbourne. Located in the same precinct as Ford’s new parts supply and logistics hub, and close to Ford’s engineering head office in Campbellfield, engineers from Ford and RMA will collaborate to ensure the vehicles are remanufactured to Ford’s quality standards. Ms Manariti said that while several of the components used in F-150 remanufacture process would be imported, some would ultimately be sourced from locally based suppliers.

Australian-delivered F-150s will be powered exclusively by a 298kW678Nm 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 petrol engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It will be offered in a Crew Cab body style and ‘fully-equipped XLT and premium Lariat’ grades. “When we began looking at F-150 for an Australian return, there was one engine that stood out. More US customers choose the EcoBoost V6 than any other F-150 engine – it gives the truck immense power and torque, more than many of its V8 competitors,” Ms Manariti said. “F-150 is an audacious vehicle for customers that don’t want to be restricted or limited, so we are bringing the best of the best with the 3.5-litre EcoBoost.” F-150 also comes well equipped with tech and safety features, with smart innovations that offer customers ultimate convenience. Mr Birkic described the brand’s F-150 program as a tremendous investment in Ford Australia and said the new model – the first F-150 offered directly by Ford since 2006 – was part of a new wave of Ford vehicles for Australian customers. “We’re listening to customers and breaking down barriers to give them what they want – the best of our global line-up. There’s more where F-150 came from,” he said. – Mike Fourie

Lotus unveils Eletre high-performance e-SUV

otus has revealed its highly anticipated ‘hyper SUV’. The all-electric Eletre – previously codenamed Type 132 – is, with due respect to the discontinued Evora 2+2 coupe, the first genuine family car model to be launched by the Hethelbased sportscar brand, and one that is likely to make it to Australian showrooms in the very near future. Described by Lotus managing director Matt Windle as a ‘momentous point’ in the brand’s history, the Eletre is underpinned by the firm’s newly developed 800V Electric Premium Architecture and offers a battery capacity of ‘more than 100kWh’. Its optimal range is expected to

2005 HOLDEN VZ EXECUTIVE

be just short of 600km, while about 400km can be added after just 20 minutes of being plugged into a 350kW charger. The Eletre also supports 22kW home charging. Those numbers are unlikely to get tongues wagging, but the Eletre’s performance figures might. With a power output of 442kW in base form, and a 0-100kmh time of less than three seconds, the all-wheel drive Eletre incorporates the core principals and more than 70 years of sportscar design and engineering to offer an all new lifestyle car for Lotus customers. The Eletre offers five drive modes – Range, Tour, Sport, Offroad and Individual – which alter the vehicle’s NEW STOCK

Honda Civic Hybrid unveiled

onda has taken the wraps off its all-new Civic Hybrid hatch in Europe.

The Japanese marque’s five-door is expected to reach Australian showrooms before the end of the year. The Civic Hybrid is the first electrified variant to grace Honda’s small-car range since 2015 and, like the recently revealed HR-V Hybrid, features the brand’s e:HEV petrol-electric hybrid setup, which combines a normally aspirated petrol engine with dual electric motors. Unlike the HR-V, which employs a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, the five-door Civic is powered by a larger 2.0-litre motor sourced from the Honda Accord and the Atkinsoncycle mill claimed to be one of the most thermally efficient engines on the market. The Civic Hybrid will offer combined outputs of 135kW and 315Nm, with Honda promising a targeted fuel economy figure of less than 5.0 litres per 100km. Honda has not provided an all-electric driving range for its newest hybrid model, nor has it listed a 0-100kmh acceleration time. Apart from the 2.0-litre motor, the front-wheel-drive Civic Hybrid is equipped with a 72-cell lithiumion battery pack and the power unit is paired to a continuously variable

NEW ENTRY: Honda’s five-door Civic Hybrid is expected to reach Australian showrooms before the end of the year. transmission. The driveline can switch between EV, Hybrid and Engine drive modes automatically, or through four drive models – Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual – as selected by the driver. The model is identified by e:HEV badging on the tailgate, blue trim garnishes, a reprofiled rear bumper,

and concealed exhaust outlets. It also receives push-button transmission controls and hybrid-specific menus and displays on the central array and instrument panel. Top-spec variants receive a 12-speaker Bose audio system and a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, replete with Apple CarPlay, Android

Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. The latest model also benefits from Honda Sensing safety equipment including lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, forward collision warning, cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, wide-view camera technology and 11 airbags.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres are standard issue. In other markets, the Civic Hybrid e:HEV will be offered in three trim grades: Elegance, Sport and Advance; although it is expected that, like the petrol-powered variant, Honda Australia will offer just one highly-specified hybrid variant when the model touches down locally. Honda says the Civic e:HEV will go on sale in Europe in the third quarter of this year with Australian sales to start in later half of 2022. Pricing and specification will be announced closer to the model’s local launch; however, it is expected the petrol-electric variant will be priced above the existing Civic VTi-LX, which sells for $47,290 drive-away. Year-to-date sales of the 11th-generation Civic trail those of most of its small car rivals. At the time of writing, Honda Australia had sold just 144 examples of the Civic nationally in 2022, a mere fraction of the sales recorded by contemporaries including the Hyundai i30, 3398, Toyota Corolla, 3113, Kia Cerato, 2396 and Mazda 3 with 2376 units. To the end of February, the small car segment under $40k amassed a total 12,406 sales for a 7.7 percent market share. – Matt Brogan

I sat at my desk, and started to feel a bit nauseous, wondering if I was having a turn of some kind. Suddenly the stick that opens and shuts the blinds on my window started swaying from side to side. “This doesn’t look right!” I said to myself. As I began to assess the room around me, I realised that the whole room was moving from side to side, and then it clicked – an earthquake! Do you feel the same? Looking at the world around you, it feels shaky and out of control, and you feel nauseous? The grounds of stability may be shifting, and uncertainty fills you with fear? Jesus offers certainty and stability in this world. He promises that He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). It doesn’t matter where you are, Jesus promises that He will never leave you or forsake you, and encourages you to not be afraid or discouraged (Deuteronomy 31:8). He is there to guide you and hold you fast (Psalm 139:10). Jesus’ love for you is unconditional. It doesn’t matter what you have or haven’t done. He loves you. In this turbulent life, we have been given a firm foundation: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea” (Psalm 46:1&2).

Prospects at Ararat BY JOSH MILLER

eekend racing returned to the Wimmera last week with Ararat hosting a seven-race card on Saturday.

On-speed was the place to be with five of the seven winners settling in or outside the lead, but only one race – the fourth, a benchmark 58 contest over 1200 metres – was run at a better time than standard. The Ben and JD Hayes runner Mt Buller won this event by threeand-a-half lengths, leading for the entirety of the trip. But you would suspect the gelding’s win played second fiddle to their Doncaster Mile winner, Mr Brightside, in Sydney two hours later. The feel-good story of the day came up in the last, when Rebecca Winnell recorded the first win in her short training career with her new stable hero, Socialite Miss. Watching the excitement and joy overflow from the Hamilton trainer oncourse should remind us all why we love this game so much – congratulations Rebecca. One runner to put in the black book from Saturday is the Mark Pegus-trained Buena Veloz. The eight-year-old settled last in the feature race of the day, a benchmark 64 event over 1300m, but

tracked into the race nicely at the bend and made solid ground over the concluding stages to finish second. Bueno Veloz was ultimately beaten by three-quarters of a length by race favourite Adandiman, $2.30. This was no meanfeat on a day where runners found it difficult to make ground in the straight, but the run was full of merit and qualified him for the Good Friday Country Trainers Series Final at Sale on April 15, presenting the Stawell trainer with a pleasant problem. “He was being aimed up at the Warracknabeal Cup on Easter Saturday on April 16, but now he’s qualified for Sale I’ve got to have a think about where I’ll take him,” Pegus said. “We were really happy with the run. I was thinking he was a chance first-up at Avoca last week, but he drew a bad gate and had to go back at the start, a bit like at Ararat. I’d like to see him draw low and be able to sit just in behind the leaders and put himself into the race.” Pegus has time to decide where he will take the son of Good Journey next – the lure of metropolitan prizemoney at Sale is surely playing on his mind – but if he heads up the Henty to Warrack-

nabeal, he will be extremely hard to beat in their feature on Easter Saturday. Another to follow is strong maiden winner Chorizama, $8, which came from last to take out the second race on the card over 1100m. The Jimmy Creed gelding jumped awkwardly and found himself last on the fence shortly after the start, but jockey Aaron Lynch did not panic, making ground inside runners approaching the turn and exploded when he found clear air, winning impressively by more than two lengths. Trainer Symon Wilde was thrilled with his three-year-old’s debut run. “We were pleasantly surprised, we probably weren’t expecting that performance,” Wilde said. “He worked well with a horse of Colin Chandler’s last week who then came out and ran second in a benchmark 58 at Geelong, so I probably should’ve twigged that he’d run well. “He appears like he’ll get better over more distance. We’ll look for a three-year-old race for him, step him out to 1400.” While his itinerary is not set in concrete, Chorizama looks a horse we can follow with some confidence wherever he steps out next.

FOCUS: Horsham’s Lewis Gebert has claimed Horsham Golf Club’s 2022 Mens A Grade Championship after last weekend’s final round of 18-holes. Gebert held a 10-shot heading into the final round of the championship and shot a four-overpar 75 to close out the win with a four-round seven-over-par 291 It was Gebert’s second A Grade win after claiming his first club championship in 2019.

Junior girls gold T

BY DAVID BERRY

he focus for Volleyball Horsham now switches to the senior Victorian Country Championships following a successful hosting of the junior event at the weekend.

The success was made all the sweeter when the association’s girls’ team scored an exciting fourset win over Geelong to take the gold medal, while the boys’ team won silver. But success is not just measured by what happens on the court. It is just as important to take into consideration what happens off the court as well, and this is where Volleyball Horsham is lucky. The number of volunteers who put their hand up to assist with the running of the event was enormous, and through their collective efforts ensured the event ran smoothly, hence the reason why it was successful. From administration to canteen roster to cooking barbecues to refereeing and assisting with managing teams, an army of volunteers made the event such a joy to be involved with. Volleyball Horsham now looks forward to duplicating this effort over the long weekend in June for the senior championships. On the court, the battle for gold came down to which team had the most members that improved over the weekend. The Volleyball Horsham team’s improvement from game one to its final game was evident. The girls got off to the perfect start, winning the first set on the back of an Ella Van Duren serving spree taking the score from 7-7 to 15-7 in the blink of an eye. Then Sophie Quick ensured the first set stayed with the home team when she busted the set wide open with a five-point serving run.

The second set was tense and exciting as very little separated the two up until 23-23 when Geelong scored the two vital points, to level the match at one set each. The third set was tight as well until Paige Hemley at 18-19 served five points, four of which were aces to take the score to 23-19 to set up the third set win. The fourth set saw firstly Clare Whyte go on a five-point run followed by Van Duren with a four-point run, taking the score from 4-5 to 13-7 and from then on it was all about holding firm, which the girls did and a Sophie Quick spike winner on match point sealed an amazing victory. For the boys it was not to be as the Geelong team was just a little bit more advanced in its play, the visiting team displaying great skill in their straight-sets victory. To give the players extra court time, Volleyball Horsham was able to stage a mixed championship in conjunction with the country championships. A Horsham Navy team went through the tournament undefeated to score a great win over Geelong Blue, with Holy Trinity Lutheran College winning the bronze medal in a promising sign for the school’s volleyball program. At the end of the country championships an All Star Seven was announced for each division and in the girls Volleyball Horsham members Grace Turner, Sophie Quick, Ella Van Duren and Clare Whyte were included in the honorary team, while Jasper Ponseca, Logan Young and Roland Brooke were successful in making the boys team.

Social bowls competition a success An annual event at Horsham City Bowling Club for enthusiast bowlers, friends and workmates wrapped up with a declaration of a competition winner. The 2022 Night Hawks Bowls competition attracted more than 40 players for six weekly evenings of social bowls. Winners were the E-Bowl-A team of Tim Popadynec, Garret Clarke, Josie Clarke and Bryan Avery. Club president Graham McDonald said teams often interchanged players to create teams of three, ensuring the light-hearted competition remained a success. “Having fun and learning the game of bowls was the aim for the night bowls competition,” he said.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

A staggered start BY DEAN LAWSON

ncertainty hovers over Wimmera netball league this season as teams prepare to blow out the cobwebs with an opening round of matches on Saturday.

And that uncertainty will continue into next week with traditionally strong Ararat and Stawell out of action until Good Friday and perennial force Horsham sitting out with a first-round bye. But coaches and teams will gain some understanding of structures and potential with A Grade games set for Hopetoun and Minyip. At Hopetoun, Southern Mallee Giants will take on visiting Dimboola in a contest generating plenty of expectation. Giants coach Anthony Schache said the Giants were happy to welcome back Amy Walder, who played either end of the court, and mid-court player Gemma Lehmann. Schache said the Giants’ A Grade outfit would be ‘an exciting mix of mature and young players’ who had completed extensive pre-season training preparations. He said players travelling from Melbourne, Ballarat and Horsham, with connections to the club, would complement home-based players and expected the mix to produce a competitive group.

Dimboola leader Ant Toet will gain insight into how the Roos will shape up for the season in what looms as a test for a new-look line-up. Toet said Hannah Dubois would make her A Grade debut after playing all her netball at Dimboola and Ashlee Morrish, from Ouyen United and a new teacher at Dimboola, was also in the mix. She said Paige Glover was also set to play her first full season of A grade after impressing as a junior development player in 2021 and Abbey Greig returned to A grade after winning the league’s B Grade bestand-fairest award. The newcomers might offset departures including Steph Glover and Ruby Redford and Delta Wardle, university studies, and Meaghan Pohlner, Kalkee. The clash at Minyip should also be fascinating, with Minyip-Murtoa welcoming contemporary rivals Horsham Saints for a first-up encounter. Minyip-Murtoa coach Sheridan Petering said her players, after last year’s interruptions, were looking forward to a full season of netball. Petering said the club had been lucky in being able to welcome Faith McKenzie, Tamika Mentha and Lucy Brand to the club and returning Billie Bibby. “All bring experience, enthusiasm

and versatility to our A Grade team. The girls are itching to get going,” she said. Petering predicted a key match-up would be between Mentha and the Saints’ Ash Grace. “These two run all day so it will be an interesting battle in the midcourt,” she said. Horsham Saints coach Jess Cannane said she was looking forward to the clash against the Burras. “It’s always a good match-up across the court between Saints and Minyip-Murtoa with games being very even. In the past we have played very similar game styles – that being short and fast,” she said. Cannane said the Saints would have two new players in Steffi McDonald and Jami Luhrs making their A Grade debut this week. “The girls have been training hard throughout pre-season and their combinations within the team is starting to develop,” she said. She said she also looked forward to Shannon Cross returning to the side after interrupted seasons on the sidelines. “Her speed and feeding ability strengthens our attacking end,” Cannane said. Horsham has a bye because it is scheduled to play Nhill, which is not fielding an A Grade side this year.

Clean slate in district league Horsham district netball teams are days away from discovering if increased player movement and two COVID-19 disrupted seasons have dramatically shuffled club fortunes in 2022. Traditionally dominant Laharum might well be a force to be reckoned with again this season, but chasing clubs Noradjuha-Quantong and Harrow-Balmoral will hope 2022 offers a clean slate and a time for change. However, either the Bombers or the Southern Roos will emerge from the weekend on the back foot after their round-one match-up this Saturday. The Bombers defeated the Southern Roos by one goal last season to claim second spot and their round-one rematch might be the game of the round. Meanwhile Laharum will meet the ever-competitive Swifts at Cameron Reserve. With firepower at each end of the court and two league best-and-fairest winners in their midst, the Mountain Women will be an early-season test for the Baggies. Kaniva-Leeor and Kalkee will be an interesting match too. The Tigers were just off the pace of the leading three clubs last season and would expect to be at least nipping at their heels again in 2022. But a Paula Wiedermann led Kalkee will surely see things a little differently and a round-one win would be a great start for the Kees, who slipped to eighth last season after sixth-place finishes in 2018 and 2019.

Natimuk United and Pimpinio will test out each other’s early-season form at Natimuk, while Edenhope-Apsley will sit this round out after its scheduled opponent, Taylors Lake, withdrew its A Grade side because of a lack of numbers. Jeparit-Rainbow will welcome Rupanyup to its Rainbow courts for a roundone storm. Horsham district league board member Sharon Fedke said a clear picture of each club’s 2022 standing was still unclear after a big off-season of player movement. “It is hard to know what the league will look like this year. There has been a lot of movement during pre-season and with lots of new players, it will certainly be an interesting round-one,” she said. Fedke said she expected Laharum, Noradjuha-Quantong and Harrow-Balmoral to be strong again this year, with those side’s having kept their core-player groups together. “Jeparit-Rainbow had a really good season last year after struggling for a few years,” she said. “They pushed a lot of teams in 2021 and you’d expect them to do that again this season. “Last year’s stop-start season was tough for everyone motivation-wise. But with people desperate to be playing netball again, if we can get a full season, it should be a really strong and competitive season of district netball.” – Michael Scalzo

Minyip-Murtoa

in 2022

New faces ready for season start BY MICHAEL SCALZO

inyip-Murtoa stands out as one of Wimmera Football Netball League’s most successful merger clubs.

Its senior football team added to that history with a compelling 2021 season of football, finishing in top spot. However, the A Grade netball team, having secured the club’s first A Grade premiership in 2019, found the going tougher in a disrupted 2021 season. President Scott Arnold said he remained confident in the club’s model before it geared up for the start of another season on Saturday. “We are all just so excited to get into it with a new sense of normality,” he said. “We realise the whole club-community missed out last year. We are a community club with strong values and we always strive to be consistently competitive every year. “It is not about spending cash or looking for a quick sugar hit through interstate success. A long-term stable environment is more important.” Incoming senior football coach Tim Mackenzie echoed Mr Arnold’s emphasis on a search for consistent performance. “The club wants to be successful and compete for finals and flags every year. We don’t want to be a rollercoaster team,” he said.

HIGH HOPES: Last season’s Wimmera league minor premier Minyip-Murtoa will hope holding the cup aloft is within reach in 2022. Technically Wimmera league reigning premiers, the Burras were the last full-season champions in 2019. From left, John Delahunty, Angus Trethowan, Luke Chamberlain and Scott Arnold enjoy the occasion. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The senior team heads into 2022 without its on-ball brother-pairing Tim and Ben McIntyre and its other sibling duo – Nick and Kade Petering. Mackenzie said despite the loss of ‘four very handy outs’, their absence would provide opportunities for emerging players to fill those shoes. “There will be roles for our younger kids to play this year,” he said.

“Over the years we have given them senior games and it would be time for them to step up and fill the roles we need.” The Burras have added former Fremantle Dockers and North Adelaide tall Tanner Smith; and Holbrook’s Hume league Azzi medal winner, midfielder Will Holmes. Mackenzie said the side’s ethos this

The mighty blue blue, black & white

season was ‘opportunity’. “That has been our theme, the opportunity to put your name forward in 2022,” he said. “We will still be high-pressuring and team-defence orientated but I will put my own spin on things. “We certainly haven’t perfected things yet, but that’s what we are working on.” Mackenzie said his side remained

‘bullish’ about what was achievable this season, despite there having been talk about Burras’ player losses in the off-season. “There has been lots of talk and lots of hype about things during the off-season. Other sides might see us as vulnerable but that’s not how we see it,” he said. “Obviously there will be challenges but there can also be success.” Senior netball coach Sheridan Petering said her senior squad was full of new players this year. “We have lots of new girls joining us. We built bonds and friendship early on and it shows because everyone has been really gelling in the last few weeks before the season starts,” she said. She said while several senior players came from outside the club, junior talent was also pushing for selection. “There has been really good numbers at training and we have so many great junior players. A couple of last year’s under-17s will play senior netball and we have several more to pull up from junior ranks if we need as well,” she said. Petering said the senior squad’s focus remained on building team morale and Burras’ 2022 success was broad. “We know what our goals are this year and while we play to win – we want to have fun,” she said.

Bombers, Roos in perfect footy start T

BY DEAN LAWSON

here is plenty of expectation surrounding the opening round of Horsham District football action this weekend with big games scheduled across the region.

And none appear bigger, based on little more than reputations and recent history, than a season opener between Harrow-Balmoral and Noradjuha-Quantong. Both camps continue to generate considerable discussion throughout the football fraternity and a sense of ‘unfinished business’ hovers over the respective teams. Noradjuha-Quantong appeared well and truly on track to clinch an elusive flag last year, finishing a home-andaway season unbeaten and a clear ladder leader, but missed an opportunity to take success into a finals series. The Bombers have worked hard on club foundations during the pandemic lay-off and coaches Gareth Hose and Damian Cameron would be happy their team will finally get to test itself again in a contest for premiership points. Perennial southwest powerhouse Harrow-Balmoral was also in the hunt last year, finishing third with a 9-3 win-loss record. Amid fragmented seasons the team remains the competition’s defending champion.

The Southern Roos have a tradition of strongly representing a considerable fan base and returning coach Nick Pekin’s effervescence in promoting fun among the ranks is sure to generate plenty of enthusiasm. How each and every other team in the competition will perform this season, similar to last year, will remain a mystery until players jump out of the blocks on Saturday. In fact early rounds, before the competition settles, loom as a tipster’s headache. Another team the regional football fraternity will be watching closely is Dunmunkle force Rupanyup, which from many accounts has done well in bolstering its ranks under joint coaches Jack Musgrove and Brayden Ison. Rupanyup finished second on the ladder last year and word from the Panther leadership group this year was that they would exploit a potent midfield and go on the attack. The Panthers hit the road to take on Jeparit-Rainbow, which has been hungry for success and determined to shrug the tag as an ‘almost’ team. Coach Daniel Batson is sure to drive his players strongly into the new season and the contest at Rainbow represents the start of the attempted push. A Grampians battle between Laharum and Stawell Swifts at Laharum also promises plenty with the home side under new direction from coach Glenn Doyle.

Australia but suffer a tyranny of distance in attracting Victorian players. Border restrictions during the pandemic would have also been tough on the club. Coach Beau Harris is in charge of the Cougars and will draw plenty from player direction established in a review at the end of last season. Kalkee is among the most successful of district league clubs and with Stuart Farr again at the coaching helm will take a considerable store of desire to the west. Another west Wimmera team, Edenhope-Apsley, has drawn Taylors Lake in its first game and again high degrees of uncertainty surround both camps. Edenhope-Apsley has a rich football heritage and has a proven leader in Guy Smith manipulating a variety of players across his whiteboard. The Saints meet a young Lakers list led by coach Lee Marshall at Dock Lake Reserve. With another year under their belt, the league’s young talent will start grabbing attention and this might be where the Lakers show their wares. Draw: Laharum v Swifts, Taylors Lake v Edenhope-Apsley, Harrow-Balmoral v Noradjuha-Quantong at Harrow, Kaniva-Leeor United v Kalkee, Natimuk United v Pimpinio, Jeparit-Rainbow v Rupanyup.

Doyle’s coaching style has previously been about allowing players to have considerable input into structure and process and he has a good test first up against Swifts. Swifts have long enjoyed keeping the region guessing about its strengths and weaknesses but suggestions are that the Baggies have evolved, socially and structurally, at home at Stawell’s North Park where they enjoy some of the best facilities in the competition. Natimuk United sneaked into the top six last year and there is plenty of speculation about which Rams team will emerge this year – the finalist or

the also-ran? Jarred Combe’s Rams, which have had a habit of producing enigmatic performances, take on perennial survivor Pimpinio, which hopes to push up the ladder under new coach Clint Burdett. The Tigers have been pushing hard during pre-season sessions and fitness could be telling as teams press deeply into Saturday’s contest at Natimuk. And whereabouts will Kaniva-Leeor sit after welcoming Kalkee to Kaniva this weekend? The Cougars are in a love-hate circumstance on the Victorian-South Australia border, where they might be able to draw recruits from South

Time for talking ends Saturday T

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

he start of a new football season always carries a buzz – but perhaps more so than usual in 2022, as people look forward to a season without COVID-19 disruptions.

However, the pandemic disruptions did more than reduce the match fitness of even Wimmera league’s most gifted movers. Player movement and list rejigs were a symptom of families moving back to the Wimmera or indeed away from it, after COVID-induced introspection. Some clubs have won, some have lost in this space. But really, most have remained unsure about how they truly compare with others in the league. Some coaches have spoken about a ‘faith’ in their lists. Some are staying away from grandiose expectations and others have been coy about their chance to climb a few rungs on the ladder. The fixture looks a little different this year too, with a late Easter break pushing the usual season-opening Good Friday game between Ararat and Stawell back a week. Round one is split over two weeks with the clash between the Rats and the Warriors the stand-alone Wimmera league game of the long weekend, closing out a two-week-long roundone schedule. The Rats, under experienced coach Matt Walder, have recruited heavily during the off-season with several talented and experienced players joining them from large metro leagues. But do not expect the Warriors, led again by Tom Eckel, to turn up on Good Friday with a group of kids. A core group of experienced talent will lead them out the North Park race to meet Walder’s boys head on. But before eyes turn to the annual Easter clash, round one’s first week of games will welcome in the season proper. Last year’s minor premiers, Minyip-Murtoa, will be hunted for its recent success. Do the Burras maintain a capacity to resist an ever-present Horsham Saints this weekend? The Saints, adverse to successive mid-table mediocrity, will be keen to take a big Burras

scalp in round one. Coach David John’s young men will get their first test early this season. As will Dimboola. The Roos will get a two-hour examination of their pre-season efforts when they meet the professionalism of the Southern Mallee Giants. The Giants finished second last year but will be without some well-known leaders in 2022. Not deterred, coach Luke Mahony implied he would wait to see how everyone shaped up for the round-one reveal before counting his eggs or placing them in baskets. Dimboola coach Justin Beugelaar spruiked the Roos’ chances this season after ‘strong’ midfield recruitment. Hard-nosed midfield duals will come early this season for a Dimmy midfield that thrives on contested ball – we will wait and see. Nhill, after a winless 2021 season, has gone back to its pool of local talent. Led by incoming coach Trevor Albrecht, with David Flood riding shotgun, the Tigers would hope for a strong start to the new season against Wimmera league mainstays Horsham Demons. The Demons have welcomed playing-assistant coach Tyler Blake into a joint-senior coach role alongside Jordyn Burke this season. Horsham finished inside the bottom four in 2021 and would hope to avoid coming undone early against last year’s strugglers. Warrack Eagles by virtue of the fixture will start round two of the new season bottom of the ladder, the same spot it finished in 2021. They will have round one off with a bye before hopping into a football frying pan against the Giants for their first match of the year in round two. Eagles coach Daniel Bell was confident in his side’s off-season talent addition, however, the club adding a bunch of players from outside the region for a fresh start to post-pandemic football. But this story will remain speculation until results trickle in after the first few rounds. Until then, we wait to see which clubs arrived ready to go and who has started to cast an early eye towards their 2023 season fortunes. The Wimmera league season kicks off on Saturday.

FEDERAL BUDGET SPECIAL SEE WHAT’S IN THE BUDGET FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

The Nationals are getting it done for Mallee As your local Federal Member, my track record demonstrates that I care about the individual and I fight for better outcomes for Mallee communities. In these uncertain times of global instability and sovereign threats, it is imperative we have a government that has the capability to lead Australia and keep us safe. Our democracy gives every Australian adult, the responsibility to elect a strong and stable government for the nation. And it is The Nationals, as part of the Coalition Government, that continues to deliver a strong, secure economy that helps create local jobs; improves and updates local infrastructure; helps keep the cost of living down and provides better access to essential health services. The simple fact is an independent cannot deliver what a strong party can, despite their aspirations. I am proud to be the representative of Mallee - a regional seat with diverse interests. I’m proud to sit in The Nationals party room that fights for regional Australia. The Nationals have the power together to make change, to formulate good policy and see it delivered. To help create local jobs, we will continue to invest in manufacturing and local industry and I will continue to fight for

more in Mallee. In my first term in parliament, I have successfully fought for and delivered over $2 billion of funding for roads, infrastructure, health, business, sport and community support. The Nationals understand the challenges that regional communities and businesses face. That is why we have delivered good policy and legislation which includes the Ag Visa and sovereign manufacturing capability for Urea and Ad Blue - both essential for producers. We are delivering the technology investment roadmap to achieve lower emissions. We are targeting cost of living, with electricity bills down 8% in the last 2 years. To improve telecommunication, 1,200 mobile black spot base stations have been funded by our Government. The Nationals have delivered 91 million telehealth consults through Medicare, 1,400 additional nurse placements in the regions, and HECS reimbursement to encourage doctors and nurse practitioners to move to regional centres. And to build the workforce of the future, we have delivered 220,000 trade apprentices into the workforce - the highest level ever and we are committed to more. Much has been achieved, but there is much more to do.

BUDGET 2022

WATER SECURITY

STRENGTHENING OUR REGION AUSTRALIA’S ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Water is the lifeblood of our regions, underpinning our agriculture and primary industry sectors, supporting 220,000 jobs and injecting billions into our national economy. Since 2013, The Nationals in Government have committed $1.6 billion in funding, to 156 projects through the National Water Grid Fund, including $14.5 million for the Mitiamo and District Water Supply Project We’re providing $139 million to make water delivery in the Murray-Darling Basin more reliable and to make the river system more sustainable. An additional $94 million for drought resilience initiatives will help farmers and communities prepare for future droughts.

Australia’s economic recovery leads the world – stronger than the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Unemployment is at 4%, the equal lowest in 48 years. This Budget also delivers the largest improvement to the Budget bottom line in over 70 years. Australia is one of nine countries to hold a AAA credit rating from the three leading credit agencies. Our economic plan is working.

INVESTMENT IN SKILLS AND EDUCATION Around 220,000 Australians are now in a trade apprenticeship – the highest number on record. To encourage more apprentices, from 1 July 2022 we are providing $5,000 payments to new apprentices and up to $15,000 in wage subsidies for employers. More than 30,000 new places were created at universities last year. Since coming to Government in 2013, education funding has increased by more than 60%.

SUPPORTING HOME OWNERSHIP

COST OF LIVING RELIEF Our temporary, targeted and responsible package will ease cost of living pressures. For six months, fuel excise will be cut in half, saving Australians 22 cents a litre. A one-off $420 Cost of Living Tax Offset will help 10 vmillion workers, with people receiving the low-andmiddle income tax offset getting up to $1,500 this year. A one-off $250 Cost of Living Payment will be delivered to six million Australians, including pensioners, carers, veterans, job seekers, eligible self-funded retirees, and concession card holders.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE REGIONS Our $120 billion infrastructure pipeline has already completed over 35,000 projects throughout Australia.

Over the last year, 160,000 Australians purchased their first home. HomeBuilder, the First Home Super Saver Scheme and the Home Guarantee Scheme have helped make the dream of home ownership a reality. And the Regional Home Guarantee will support 10,000 homebuyers a year to purchase or construct a new home in regional Australia. The Home Guarantee Scheme will now be more than doubled to 50,000 places per year. This helps single parents buy a home with a deposit as low as 2%, and first home buyers buy a home with a deposit as low as 5%.

We’re delivering infrastructure to grow our regional communities and boost job opportunities. This Budget includes new commitments for road and rail projects across Australia. We’re investing $160 million to upgrade level crossings in the regions, delivering an additional $880 million for Roads of Strategic Importance, and we’re continuing the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program through a $500 million investment for local councils to target vital community projects.

HEALTH AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES Our Government has delivered record funding for schools, hospitals, Medicare, mental health, aged care, women’s safety and disability support, and more than 2,800 new or amended medicines have been listed on the PBS. Regional Australians know how vital it is to have medical services where we live. This is why the Nationals in Government are deregulating MRI licences in rural and regional Australia, opening up opportunities for more local services and delivering additional services for more than 40,000 regional, rural and remote patients. Since we have come to Government, funding for aged care has doubled. Our substantial women’s health package includes stillbirth and miscarriage support, the establishment of new endometriosis clinics, and greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings. We’re expanding rural medical schools, providing more opportunities for rural medicine students and training future rural doctors.

LONG TERM PLAN FOR JOBS By backing small businesses, and investing in skills, manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, and regional development, we will strengthen our economy and create more jobs. To encourage small businesses, a 20% bonus deduction will be provided for expenditure on training new and existing staff. New incentives will encourage more apprentices. Our $120 billion investment in nation building infrastructure will support around 100,000 jobs. Unprecedented regional investment will unlock new economic frontiers for agriculture, infrastructure, and energy.

Dr Anne WEBSTER | THE NATIONALS FOR MALLEE Authorised by Anne Webster, National Party of Australia, 1/146A Eighth Street, Mildura VIC 3500.

SMALL BUSINESS Our Government has reduced tax rates for small business from 30% to 25% (the lowest level in over 50 years) and delivered record investment incentives – including the expanded instant asset write-off. We are further encouraging small businesses that invest in new technology. To encourage small businesses, a 20% bonus deduction will be provided for expenditure on training staff, or digital technologies (like cloud computing, eInvoicing, cyber security, and web design) – on expenditure up to $100,000 per year.

REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY Strong, reliable communication is vital in regional Australia. It equips business and agriculture to grow, children to study locally and keeps us safe during disasters. The Nationals in Government are delivering $1.3 billion to improve telecommunications. This includes $480 million to upgrade NBN Fixed Wireless and Satellite networks, and $811 million to expand regional mobile coverage and address blackspots along up to 8,000km of roads and adjoining homes and businesses.
