All smiles for end of school antics WESTERN Port Secondary College principal Chris Quin (far right) joined in the celebrations with his year 12s on Friday, as students respectfully - but cheekily - celebrated the end of school. Students and teachers enjoyed a get together for breakfast – complete with water pistols - at Hastings foreshore. After a bit of water fun the group took a stroll up High Street in full fancy dress, with lots of congratulations and smiles from the community along the way. Assistant principal Laura Higgins said it the school was “so proud of these legends”. Picture: Gary Sissons

Councillor to undergo ‘development training’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillor Susan Bissinger says she is “not a pariah or a bully” but was last week about to start personal development training at ratepayers’ expense. She says the training was ordered by the mayor Cr Steve Holland after two mediation sessions involving him and CEO John Baker. “The first one with him [Holland} worked out well, but the second one not so good.” She said Baker had since barred her

from directly contacting council staff, with the exception of a select few senior officers. This was something she found “very strange, as members of the public can speak to staff”. Bissinger was on Friday scheduled to meet with a trainer from Melbourne in Mornington. She had spoken with the trainer on the phone “who seems very nice”. While the training had been organised by Baker, “I’ve no idea what he thinks I need training about”. While Bissinger claims not to know the reasons for her training, she says

it is linked to her questioning the shire’s decision to fly the Progress Pride flag at three council offices. Councillors have been told that flying the multi-coloured flag “demonstrates that our organisation is welcoming and acknowledges our commitment to the LGBTIQA+ community”. Bissinger says she is being censured because she asked if other councils were also flying the Pride flag and “mentioned our community is inclusive and there is no need for a flag”. “Do we need division when there isn’t one? This is an inclusive shire

which was demonstrated when we had one of the biggest acceptances of gay marriage,” she told The News. The shire’s efforts to advertise itself as “a healthy and self-determined community where everyone feels valued” follows poor results in two consecutive annual community surveys (“Shire again misses survey satisfaction” The News 21/6/23). Bissinger told The News she did not feel comfortable “knowing everyone is talking behind my back”. She was not sure why some people found her offensive and “I wouldn’t think that would be so detrimental

to warrant such action [as personal development training]”. Bissinger’s questioning about the Pride flag took place online during email exchanges with council staff and councillors. She told The News that one councillor had been “very unreasonable and chastised me on email to other councillors”. Bissinger was elected to council in 2021 and is on the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Tourism Advisory Forum and the Disability Advisory Committee.

Anger over contaminated fuel ANGRY car owners out of pocket thousands of dollars are demanding compensation after their engines were damaged by contaminated diesel fuel at a Hastings service station. Several vehicle owners have told the News that their vehicles either stopped working or malfunctioned after buying fuel in the past two weeks from the United petrol station at 1996 Frankston-Flinders Road. The petrol station franchisee Ram Vidiyala has acknowledged there was a water contamination and that the outlet had shut down the diesel pumps as soon as he was made aware until repairs are made. Vidiyala said he had received the first report from a customer of faulty fuel on Friday 13 October. But Rod Schorres from Langwarrin said he bought 50 litres of fuel for his new Ford Ranger at the station two weeks ago, and seconds of driving out of the petrol station the car slowed down and a red light and water symbol showed on the dashboard. “It’s a brand new car so I called my car dealer and when I told them the light was coming up for water in the fuel pump they told me to not drive it any further,” he said. Schorres said mechanics at Ford in Mornington later told him there was around 80 to 90 per cent water in the engine. “I’m pretty upset, because it’s not right that we’ve paid good money for water,” he said. Schorres said he would be taking the matter further. Rebecca Wilson from Hastings called on United Petroleum head office to “do

the right thing” and respond promptly to people’s claims for refunds and the costs of repairs. Wilson bought half a tank of diesel on Sunday 15 October but as soon as she drove around the corner and was in Frankston-Flinders Road her Hyundai Santa Fe slowed down and was clearly shutting down. “I had my two children in the car and it was pretty scary to be stuck on a busy road and not able to get anywhere,” she said. “I then had to wait two hours for a tow truck to come and help us.” Wilson said she had seen another driver at the station who was having trouble with his car after putting diesel in it, but she had already filled up by then. “I asked a guy at the station who had

been doing something with a dipstick and he just said ‘no water’,” she said. Thankfully Wilson’s mechanic friend was able to fix her car by Tuesday, but she is not hopeful of being refunded after receiving a call from United Petroleum head office telling her there was nothing on the $1030 repair bill receipt that mentioned water and so no ‘evidence’ of fuel contamination. “Of course, I’ll go back to my mechanic but they [United Petroleum] need to do the right thing, I’m a single mum and I’ve had loss of wages and no car, plus I’ve had to pay $56 for water,” she said. Despite the service station operators saying they had received “five or six complaints about fuel” media pages lit up with claims that their vehicles had been affected. One Facebook poster said the fuel in her car had been tested by an independent mechanic and the 600ml sample was found to be more than 50 per cent water. “Reach out so we can make a claim, power in numbers,” she said. Vidiyala said the affected fuel had been ‘dumped’ and the tanks were now being cleaned. “We have a team working on it.” All compensations claims have to go through head office, which did not respond to questions from The News before Friday’s 3pm deadline. Anybody with a vehicle affected by the contamination must provide a receipt, preferably with pump number and mechanic’s report. Consumer Advocacy group Choice says fuel payments are protected under Australian Consumer Law.

‘Working together’ the key to homeless issue Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au ENCOURAGING subdivisions, removing red tape and amending planning guidelines to incentivise housing construction have been suggested by a Mornington Peninsula charity to ease the housing and homelessness crisis. Peninsula Voice, which describes itself as a social platform for community learning, has compiled a comprehensive report on homelessness to raise awareness and foster an “all community” approach to solving the problem. A social movement with no political or religious affiliations, the charity is distributing the document to politicians, charities and housing groups while calling for “urgent” action. Convenor Peter Orton said that while there was a lot of good work being done in the homelessness and housing affordability space, the Peninsula Voice document zeroed in on six key areas, put all relevant data together, and offered solutions. “The problem of housing affordability is not getting better, despite many organisations working on it, so we felt there was a need to bring the data together to highlight things that would actually make a difference,” he said. “We want to see change, so we thought ‘let’s do something’, and spent two years researching it to come up with real solutions.” Orton said the document revealed the keys to making a difference were education, health planning, land use, capital expenditure, rental and home share, and advocacy. “We believe supporting the community to

understand the issue of homelessness based on evidence, not misinformation, is an important first step to change the narrative and stigma surrounding this issue,” he said. Peninsula Voice also believed the wider community could be involved in the conversation and that “innovation” could lead to practical and sustainable change as well as broader policy and funding decisions. “This is going to require collective activism, we have businesses who can’t find workers because of lack of housing, we have 250 public houses on the peninsula that are not being used because they need some kind of repair, we have countless committees but not much happening,” Orton said. “There are things in this document we can do ourselves today. We need action, we need everybody working together.” Orton said it had identified successful approaches elsewhere and the “incredible work” being done locally by charities, churches, volunteers and the three community support centres. “This document is a summary of those conversations and the three events held by Peninsula Voice over 2022 and 2023,” he said. Orton said implementing a health and wellbeing model to the existing homelessness issue was critical, particularly for those experiencing homelessness and those supporting them in the community. “It’s hard to think about anything else when you’re hungry, and don’t have a bed for the night, and these are constant challenges for those facing homelessness,” he said.

To increase housing supply, Orton says international and national strategies showed how public housing can be incorporated into existing communities and how historical and large-grouped public housing can perpetuate disadvantage. Particularly relevant for the peninsula, a tourist destination with a high percentage of short-stay accommodation, the documents suggests that governments look harder at rental assistance caps and short-term rental regulations, as well as expediting approvals for second dwellings by removing red tape and encouraging subdivisions. Some of the other ideas put forward in the document include encouraging room sharing, and the establishment of a specific housing advocacy group to produce long and shortterm goals and implement a number of housing options by December 2024. Orton says the housing crisis is affecting the very “fabric” of the peninsula’s community, and there is a need to bring philanthropic and “funding agencies” together to inject money into crisis and social housing. “There are at least 1000 people homeless on the peninsula every night, with more and more women with children sleeping in cars – we have to do something,” he said. “We urge our community to work together to do all we can and to challenge those in positions of power to prioritise funding for homelessness on the Mornington Peninsula.” More information at peninsulavoice.org.au

Electoral review for shire

THE Victorian Electoral Commission is reviewing the electoral structure of Mornington Peninsula Shire and is seeking feedback from the community. The municipality is being reviewed by an electoral representation advisory panel, supported by the VEC, who will consider the appropriate number of councillors and wards, ward boundary locations and ward names. The panel will propose models for the council’s structure in a preliminary report, and the community will be able to give feedback. The preliminary report has been released and response submissions for the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council review open on Wednesday 25 October and close at 5pm on Wednesday 15 November. The mayor Cr Steve Holland said the state government had committed to electoral structure boundary reviews. “This community consultation and review is not run by the shire, however the outcome will significantly impact the electoral structure of the Mornington Peninsula, so I encourage our residents to share their feedback on the VEC website,” he said. To find out more visit vec.vic.gov.au or call 131 832.

All eyes on the paths MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has assured residents not to be concerned if they come across asset inspectors using cameras to film the streets. During a month-long assessment of the shire’s 690km network of footpaths, contractors will ride small quad bike-style vehicles with cameras attached, travelling at walking pace. The cameras are filming the footpath structure only and will not record any commercial, residential or private property. The assessment is expected to be completed by mid to late November. The findings from the assessments will give the council information about the condition of footpaths to help it maintain the network of footpaths more effectively. Anyone can provide feedback on the draft Pedestrian Access Strategy 2023 to help determine which footpaths receive priority, and when. Community consultation is open until 27 October at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ footpaths

Life experience behind author’s fiction Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MERRICKS author Megan Rogers is not wasting time when it comes to telling stories, having signed a twobook deal for her novel The Anatomy of Tears. Rogers’ book is about Simone Wells, a psychologist who specialises in the language of pain, and whose own life falls apart due to her own pain. Wells escapes by taking a job in a country town needing a pain specialist, where she learns the stories of the locals, and realises there is more than one mystery to be solved. At the same time Wells questions herself and fears she is far from the woman for the job. Like much of Rogers’ other writing, the book has its roots in feminine empowerment as it explores the ways in which pain makes us human and how beautiful life can be even when it seems broken. Life is too beautiful to waste time. The Anatomy of Tears is a timely exploration of the relationship between loneliness and pain, and about how joy can be found in the most unlikely of places. As a woman in her 40s who has straddled work life and parenthood, and having been confronted by pain and grief, Rogers draws on lived experience to give her characters emotional depth. “My dad became unwell with dementia and passed away not long ago, and it really made me realise that we

Australian fiction in the week of its release and has sold more than 10,000 copies to date. The book won her a raft of fans and is one of the bestselling Australian debut novels in 2023. Its protagonist is also a strong but

exhausted female, Layla Byrnes, who is juggling a demanding job as an anaesthetist, a disintegrating marriage, her young children, and a needy lover. Most particularly, she's managing her histrionically unstable

mother, who repeatedly threatens to kill herself. Rogers says her latest book The Anatomy of Tears was an idea that took hold of her heart a long time ago . “I'm incredibly excited to bring it to life, especially at a time when pain and loneliness are such important and relevant issues in so many people's lives,” she said. “I'm also looking forward to exploring the ways in which community, connection and long-held wisdom can be a kind of medicine.” The Anatomy of Tears will be published under the Fourth Estate imprint by HarperCollins in late 2025. Rogers began her working life as an editorial assistant at Allen & Unwin, before moving to the State Library of Victoria, in marketing. In 2014 she finished a PhD in creative writing at RMIT, which resulted in the book, Finding the Plot, A Maternal Approach to Madness in Literature published by feminist publisher Demeter Press. She also has a Bachelor of Arts/Science (Monash), a Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing (RMIT), a Graduate Diploma in Professional Communication (Deakin), and a Masters of Marketing (Monash).

Surfing into history at Pt Leo SURFING has a history and the Vintage Surf Day being held at Pt Leo is much than being “about a bunch of antiquated surfboards”, according to Paul Trigger. Trigger, of Trigger Bros. Surfboards, says the day provides a chance to “meet the people that created and rode” those surfboards. George Rice, one of the biggest surfboard manufacturers in the 1960s will be attending

along with an early team rider Gail Couper, winner of 10 Easter Bells women’s titles. “There will be mind blowing surfboard collections from as early as the 1950s through to signed surfboards ridden by the professionals. Plus, a chance to purchase a wall hanger with a story,” Trigger said. Torquay Surf Museum historian Bob Smith will also be there with his collection and the Rip Curl Easter Bells

trophy. Visitors can also have a look at restored Kombis and woodies. The Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch will be running a barbecue and sausage sizzle and selling merchandise. The Vintage Surf day at Pt Leo starts at 10am on Sunday 29 October near the Pt Leo Lifesaving Club. Keith Platt

Plan for next year’s koala tree planting Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation group is preparing for the 2024 stage of its biolink project and is keen to hear from landholders from Cerberus to Tyabb who would like to take part. The project, now in its fourth year, aims to help the peninsula’s koalas by strengthening existing indigenous vegetation in the region. So far, the group has planted more than 70,000 plants, with 25,000 planned for 2024. President Dirk Jansen said the main reason for the decline in koala numbers on the peninsula was the loss of indigenous vegetation, and one of the keys to improving that was to work with private landholders. “More than 70 per cent of available koala habitat is on private property,” he said. The group aims to offset the impact of urbanisation on biodiversity by creating indigenous vegetation links between habitat pockets, so koalas are less likely to be in injured or killed crossing roads, caught in fences, or attacked by dogs. To continue its work, the group next year will collaborate with land owners by planting indigenous vegetation on selected properties from Crib Point to Tyabb. Jensen said he encouraged landholders on more than 10 acres to contact the group about the opportunity to create koala habitat on their property, or anyone who is consider-

ing a significant revegetation project in the target area. The group will work with individual property owners to create a suitable planting plan, supply native plants sourced from local indigenous nurseries, and schedule the volunteer plant-

Shire gives nod to marquee for Hindu land ceremony Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au FIVE councillors and 99 objectors have failed to convince Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to reject a planning application to erect a temporary religious marquee on green wedge land in Pearcedale. In a close vote at last Tuesday’s (17 October) meeting, six of the 11 councillors agreed with principal planner Ersi Ni’s recommendation to allow the remedial Hindu pooja ceremony to purify the land at 1915 Hastings-Dandenong Road, where the applicants want to build the largest Hindu temple in Australia. That separate planning application is due to be heard at the Victorian

Civil and Administrative Tribunal in February. Nine objectors to the pooja attended the meeting to tell councillors their concerns ranged from traffic congestion, loss of native vegetation, inappropriate development, loss of amenity and noise. Neighbour Craig Gobbi said the granting of a permit for the pooja would “set an unacceptable” example of development on rural, green wedge land. He said he was also worried the extra traffic coming to and from the site would be hazardous on the already dangerous HastingsDandenong Road. Fiona McVey said she was concerned about the environmental impact the building would have on

the site, which she described as a “unique pocket” of native flora and fauna, and part of the Ramsar-listed Watsons Creek catchment area. “We feel that this application will have far reaching ecological ramifications for this site,” she said. Others spoke about the noise and pollution from a generator required to power the marquee, damage to the environment from heavy vehicles bringing in supplies and equipment, traffic volumes, car parking. The application is for the cleansing ceremonies to run for one week, with two worship sessions of 6am to 11am and 4pm to 8pm. There must be no more than 30 people on the site during the ceremonies There are not expected to be any

activities outside of the proposed marquee area, and no loudspeakers, microphones, music or bell ringing. Cr Kate Roper attempted to move an alternate motion to reject the application because it did not fit the strategic policy directions of the council planning scheme, was incompatible with adjoining and nearby land uses, and would create traffic and amenity issues. Cr Anthony Marsh said it would be difficult to reject the application, because a religious pooja was a “clearly permittable use” under green wedge guidelines. He said councillors should not tie the application to the separate application for a Hindu temple, which has received more than 300 objec-

tions, because they were bound by municipal rules that required them to consider the pooja application on its merits. Voting against the officer’s recommendation were councillors David Gill, Roper, Debra Mar, Steve Holland and Susan Bissinger, with councillors Despi O’Connor, Marsh, Sarah Race, Lisa Dixon, Simon Brooks and Antonella Celi in favour. The pooja application has also been listed at VCAT, where a decision will be finalised. A practice day hearing is scheduled for 10 November followed by a compulsory conference on 29 November. A merits hearing is scheduled for 15 and 16 February 2024.

Call for stronger green wedge enforcement Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A MOOROODUC land owner living in green wedge zoning is calling for stronger enforcement of protections following the allegedly illegal development of a neighbouring property, The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council acknowledged it is looking into the alleged non-compliance of use and development of the land at a property in Males Road, but was unable to comment because the investigation is underway. Moorooduc resident Susan Bell accused the council of being a “toothless tiger” after being told by the council it was “working with” the neighbouring land owner and it could take 12 months to resolve. Bell said she believed the land owner, who purchased a green wedge zoned, one-acre block in 2017, had built or redeveloped sheds on the property without the required permission. On Sunday (15 October) he allegedly started using a spray booth in a shed on the block, venting paint fumes and potentially fine particles over her land and a natural spring less than 100 metres away. “It started on Sunday and released a horrible pungent, chemical smell – we believe the spray is contaminating the spring and the soil on our property,” she said. “We are on 10 acres that was set aside for conservation in 1962 and we want to continue to protect it and encourage wildlife, we have a

lot of native vegetation and grass woodlands – all that could be under threat,” she said. Bell said she believed the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was considering granting a retrospective permit to the land owner, which she said would make a joke of green wedge protections. “We purchased here because of the stringent regulations…but it now seems the system allows for a [potential] VCAT decision to override historical decisions,” she said. “This is green wedge; I thought the council was supposed to protect it.” Green Wedges Coalition coordinator Rosemary West OAM said the issue of inappropriate development on green wedge land was a huge problem across all councils, which don’t have the resources to go up against the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. “This is happening everywhere because of the costs of opposing it and fighting for councils, when VCAT often approves it anyway,” she said. West said the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council had the ability to step in and halt any further development of the subject land and any allegedly illegal activity until the approval matter was finalised. “But it doesn’t sound like this type of activity is compatible with green wedge regulations anyway,” she said. Action wanted: Moorooduc land owner Susan Bell, pictured with husband Peter, wants better enforcement of green wedge protections in the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Meanwhile, a willy wagtail nests above the spring less than 100 metres from the spray booth. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Partners expand environmental message WESTERN Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation and OzFish Unlimited have formed a partnership to “build awareness of the reserve’s environmental significance and encourage behaviours that will protect its marine ecosystems for future generations”. The partnership between the not for profit OzFish will extend the biosphere foundation’s reach beyond its resident communities and deliver important environmental information and advice to millions of boating enthusiasts and recreational fishers who annually visit the reserve, according to biosphere CEO Mel Barker. She said the organisations shared similar values, “founded on a shared vision to ensure local communities and visitors are well informed and equipped to enjoy one of Australia’s most alluring regions while sustaining it for the future”. OzFish promotes itself as an “organisation dedicated to helping the millions of Aussie recreational fishers take control of the health of their rivers, lakes and estuaries and shore up the future of the sport they love”. It forms partnerships “to invest time and money into the protection and restoration of our waterways, counteracting decades of degradation”. Barker said the human population within the biosphere reserve - including parts of the municipalities of Mornington Peninsula, Frankston, Bass Coast, Casey, Cardinia and French and Phillip islands - grew in multiples over holiday seasons, applying substantial pressure to fragile ecosystems.

Protection planning: Mel Barker, centre, CEO Western Port Biosphere, with, OzFish’s senior project manager Victoria/Tasmania Ben Cleveland, left, and national director of habitat programs Cassie Price. Picture: Supplied

“Western Port has become a mecca for recreational anglers, attracted by improved fishing experiences that have benefitted from recent changes to fisheries management in the Bay and will continue to improve with better habitat,” she said.

“Until now, the biosphere foundation has had limited communication with the recreational boating and fishing community and we’re keen to expand the awareness of its significance. “These new partnerships will open

up channels of communication to new audiences and be a great basis for more tangible collaborations and advocacy to improve the strategic planning and deliver the on-the-water projects that will enable us to meet our moral and legal obligations to

protect internationally significant habitat like Western Port’s Ramsar wetlands.” OzFish CEO and founder Craig Copeland has been advocating for fish habitat conservation and restoration for more than 30 years. “Recreational fishing and boating are huge in Western Port and the new generation of fishers understand that looking after their waterway is how to secure the future quantity, quality and diversity of the fish caught in the bay,” he said. “OzFish is growing its programs and engagement activities aimed at restoring the ecosystems that have established Western Port as one of Australia’s premier fishing destinations. “Our partnership with the biosphere foundation will add to the depth and breadth of future work and campaigns. We appreciate that Western Port is an iconic location, not just for fishers, but has international UNESCO and Ramsar recognition as a unique place.” Barker said that with the completion of its brand refresh program, the biosphere foundation would be working with OzFish and other partners to roll out communications to help as many people as possible understand the steps they can take to enjoy the reserve’s marine environment while minimising pressure or lasting impact on its ecosystems (“‘Strategic plan’ needed for Western Port” The News 12/9/23).

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY

LOVE ISLAND AUSTRALIA

NINE, 8.40pm

THURSDAY

It’s a lesson in confidence and how to sport skimpy swimming attire with the same nonchalance as wearing a tracksuit. In this dating show, everyone is unsurprisingly young and beautiful, but they also have attitude and sass to boot. Returning to the sunny climes of Mallorca, Spain, along with breezily outspoken host Sophie Monk (pictured), this season’s contenders have signed up to find love, but there’s a juicy power shift in store with the girls seizing control of the sun-kissed search for connection. The singles include Kirra (who made a splash defending sister Bronte earlier this year on MAFS), along with long-time single Ben – who is ready for marriage at 22.

EROTIC STORIES

SBS, 9.30pm

Does the saying go ‘Never judge a TV show by its title’? The words raunchy and risqué might come to mind when considering the bold name of this new homegrown anthology, but a more fitting adjective is star-studded. With a crew of actors including Mark Coles Smith and Melanie Vallejo, and writers Marieke Hardy and Sarah Walker, each episode of this eight-part explores desire from a different viewpoint. Tonight’s premiere features Kate Box (pictured) and Danielle Cormack.

SUNDAY

JOANNA LUMLEY’S SPICE TRAIL ADVENTURE

ABC TV, 7.30pm

“It loves me!” quips Joanna Lumley (pictured) as a plant hangs close to her delighted face. In this vibrant voyage taking in the world’s centuries-old spice regions, the Absolutely Fabulous star emanates a warmth and enthusiasm that really does spice up every scene. Across four episodes, Lumley explores the riches of the world’s spice history in her “most epic voyage yet”. Her first stop is Indonesia’s Banda Islands, once the only place that the coveted nutmeg grew.

SATURDAY

JAMIE COOKS THE MEDITERRANEAN

TEN, 6.30pm

To be fair, Jamie Oliver (pictured) could cook just about anything and we’d all happily tune in. After decades of hosting cooking shows and writing piles of recipe books, in this tasty travelogue, Oliver shows he still has the Midas touch and the ability to surprise his audience. The beloved foodie celebrates Mediterranean fare, with picturesque villages and dreamy olive tree-dotted gardens as his backdrop.

Water needed to flush away dog urine at shops Mount Martha village has several eateries/coffee establishments. One seems to be very popular, with patrons eating food, and their dogs filling the tables and footpath - a very pleasant scene. However, there are the shop’s corners and a post holding up the roof and the dog owners let their dogs urinate in these areas. The stench of dog urine running down the shop corners and along the footpath with people having to walk through this, is disgusting, while food is served. Some dogs are on their owner’s laps, with the dogs noses on the table. Dogs can’t help being a dog. Some owners treat their dog like their babies or children, how insulting to compare. Why do dog owners let their dogs do as they want? I do like dogs, and why is this acceptable in a modern hygienic society? Along shop fronts in Spain bottles of water are placed to use when a dog urinates on the footpath. This water is used to flush the urine away. How civilised. Mornington Peninsula Shire ordinances are in place to pick up the poo, surly the same laws could and should apply to flush the urine away. Gerard van de Ven, Mount Martha

Opportunity to restart The referendum is over, done with, and we all move forward. It is a result not enjoyed by everyone but one that is accepted. It is now up to the government to gather those results, work through them and discuss the issues surrounding the outcomes in detail. Other avenues can be explored and working together to enhance all Australians. It is a new beginning. Anne Kruger, Rye

Wasteful referendum The [Voice to Parliament] referendum was poorly arranged and poorly administered, and Albo [Prime Minister Anthony Albanese] is mainly to blame. Albo’s push was largely based upon emotion and cliches, rather than on facts and openness. He unnecessarily raised the hopes of our Indigenous, now he has stalled Aboriginal reconciliation. The referendum was a huge financial and time waster. The Yes side had enormous financial backing and manpower resources provided for promotion. Three government TV channels constantly bombarded one-sided advertising [for] the Voice. The Yes wheeled out the country’s political, media, corporate, finance, celebrity and sporting elites. And the big push achieved nothing. David slayed Goliath.

Marketing shows that if a product has a problem, then it will not sell, regardless of how much effort and dollars it is promoted. We already know the difficulties that our Indigenous experience. Let’s immediately properly plan and proceed with narrowing the gap with our beloved Aboriginals, and ensure all moneys are accounted for . Mary Smith, Tyabb

Down to Dutton Well done [federal opposition leader] Peter Dutton. Your relentless negativity has won the day. You will probably look back with pride on your achievement. You have shamed Australia across the planet. Never again will we be able to talk about human rights abuses elsewhere in the world. Our marginalised Indigenous people will feel even more marginalised. Hope you are feeling pleased with yourself. Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Down on parties Teals, breaking the back of our “democratic dictatorship” where we are allowed to vote every once in a while to just elect the next “democratic dictatorship” for another term in office. Headline: Teals Divided. The media treats the independents (teals) like a political party. Although I do not agree with the position some of them have taken on the Israeli situation, I would still vote for them in the next elections. It is called democracy in action to not have to vote the party line no matter what. Although many would not agree, because they have never looked at Greens policies and what they have actually accomplished, the Greens, who are sometimes too hard headed, are also important in breaking the back of the “democratic dictatorship”. Give us democracy or give us death: always put the two major parties at the back of the pack when voting, but ahead of the wackos and racists. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Commonwealth treaty Now the referendum is over with a resounding No vote for the Voice to Parliament, issues have been raised which government must focus on. States are heading to introduce treaties such as the disastrous Western Australian one which was made redundant. If there is to be a treaty the Commonwealth should introduce one which would mean that the states would be blocked from negotiating a treaty and also local government would be stopped spending ratepayers money on exclusive Aboriginal programs. If the Commonwealth negotiates a treaty then there needs to be a focus on services needed by

Aboriginal people in remote areas such as education, health and housing and there also needs to be a senate committee to see that services get to the remote Aboriginals and Torres Strait islanders. With the Commonwealth having exclusive powers in Aboriginal affairs this will mean a big savings for Australian taxpayers and make a big bite in the $30-40billion spent by the Commonwealth and states on around 3000 Aboriginal organisations every year. In Frankston, the MP for Dunkley has announced that $7.6 million will be spent on a building exclusively giving services to Aboriginals which are already available to all Frankston people at cost. Also, $850,000 for redevelopment of Narim Marr Djambana a gathering place without Aboriginals paying for access. This goes against the Australian people voting against the Voice, as they said that they do not want Aboriginals to be favoured and they want government to focus on housing and the cost of living, which affect every Australian. Russell Morse, Karingal

Outcome disappoints I was disappointed and saddened at the outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum. Ever since the Union Jack was planted on Australian shores, the First Australians have done it tough. For nearly 300 years they have been told No and the referendum was no different. Not only did they hear the word no, but they have also heard the sounds of rifle shots as they were being ambushed. They have heard the sound of women and children wailing as the children were torn from their mothers arms never to be seen again. We may think that we haven’t treated them badly, but our ancestors most definitely did. We’ve been led to believe through misinformation by right wing sections of the media and politicians in particular that Aboriginals get bucket loads of cash through benefits. Bollocks! Their life span is shorter than ours thanks to less than adequate medical facilities. Their education system is failing them. Our justice system is failing them. Yep, the Australian public has been given a load of fryers balsam over the years and also in this last referendum mainly by [Liberal leader Peter] Dutton and his cohorts. I’ve asked people if they would change places with an Aboriginal and live in the same environment as they do and I get a resounding no, even after they tell me how well off they have been told the First Australians are purported to be. Would you change places? John Cain, McCrae

Pothole spin Department of Transport (DOT) claims that bad weather is the cause of poor road conditions and is an attempt to disguise the real problem. The truth is bad weather exposes failings in periodic preventative maintenance Sealed surfaces deteriorate over time and need timely periodic maintenance. Heavy rain has always happened. But the extent of potholes on roads managed by DOT in recent years is a major issue.

Mental health help We know that many Australians have mental health issues. Unfortunately, thousands and thousands of Australians are not getting help for those issues. All too often, people end up in a hospital or an emergency department out of desperation because they just do not know where to go. Our latest awareness campaign highlights the massive neglect of people in Australia who have a mental illness just has to stop. We specifically want to highlight to readers that if you know somebody having difficulties with mental health issues, the first key thing to do is accept there may well be a problem and then reach out and see your GP. Your GP will be able to give you all kinds of practical suggestions on how to best handle complex situations. We would also like to let readers know that we have a special not-for-profit network called Finding North. Put simply, it is a growing community on the internet that links people with mental health issues with others in a similar situation so that they can share their experiences. To get information, go to findingnorth.org.au It is estimated there are at least 154,000 Australians with a severe or complex mental illness. We specifically highlight to readers, please do not suffer in silence. Ask your GP for support and help and visit Finding North. It is free for all readers to visit and can make a world of difference. Tony Stevenson, national CEO, Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia.

There have been occasions where the same potholes have been repaired multiple times, a lane of a freeway closed for an extended period and rural roads normally signed at 100kph reduced to 80 and below because of pavement failures. Why isn’t the periodic maintenance program producing better outcomes? Are the causes inadequate funds, inefficiency, a combination of both or something else? The bottom line is far better outcomes need to be achieved. Don’t blame councils for DOT issues. Frankston Council has information on the division of responsibility on its website. Entering “managing our roads” and going to “roads not managed by council” is informative. The state government conducts an annual survey to assess opinions on many aspects of council’s performance. A good initiative driving accountability, but where is the survey of DOT’s performance? The RACV could conduct annual surveys on the management of DOT roads. The Auditor General investigated councils in 2021 and VicRoads in 2015 and made recommendations for improvement. The issues on DOT managed roads have been very visible. Is it time for the Auditor General to revisit the question of the maintenance of DOT roads again? Councils could do better, but the big issues are on DOT roads. Less spin and better results would be a step in the right direction. Ian Robins, Frankston

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula Railways - Extension Beyond Red Hill Desired Compiled by Cameron McCullough INTRODUCED by Mr. A. Downward, M.L.A., a deputation from Red Hill district waited on the Minister for Railways last Wednesday and requested that the line whi­­ch now ends at Red Hill should be extended to Daldry’s Corner, a distance of five miles, and subsequently on to Boneo. The speakers included Cr. M. B. Wettenhall, Messrs. T. Barley, W. Roberts, T. Swift, R. G. Barrett, W. M. True and R. Keys. They informed the Minister that when the former Minister (Mr. S. Barnes) opened the line to Red Hill he stated it was not intended that Red Hill should be the terminus. There were 30,000 to 40,000 acres of the best country in the Peninsula now served by the line, and this land was capable of supplying potatoes, onions and fruit sufficient to supply the whole of Melbourne. The lack of any facilities was the great drawback. Residents further on did not use the Red Hill station, because of its inconvenience, and preferred to carry their goods from Bittern. The Minister candidly expressed the opinion that the line should not have been built to Red Hill at all if it were not intended to carry it further. The Railways Department took up the attitude that land within eight miles of a railway was well served and the weak point of the case put forward by the deputation was the fact that practically the whole of the land was within reasonable distance of a railway. Whether the service provided was satisfactory was another proposition. Cr. Wettenhall interjected that seven

miles on the Red Hill country was equal to fourteen miles in other parts owing to the hilly nature. Mr. Old replied that local conditions had to be considered. He promised to place the proposal before the Cabinet, and it would be for the Cabinet to say whether it should be submitted to the Railways Standing Committee for report. *** Name Wanted COMMENT was made by Mr. Klauer upon the misleading condition of having two Seaford roads within a quarter of a mile of each other. He explained that land which had been subdivided on Wells road had a road which was shown by a sign-post to be Seaford road, and people became confused as to their whereabouts. Seaford road was gazetted as running from Pt. Nepean road to Dandenong road, and Mr. Klauer moved and Mr. Miles seconded that the council be asked to take the necessary action to rectify the matter. *** COOLART Road is likely to come into prominence in the near future. It is stated that the decision of the council to borrow £3000 for the improvement of this thoroughfare is to be opposed, and that a vote on the question will be demanded. *** Fowl Stealers at Work LAST weekend a local resident lost a number of fowls through the depredations of some person or persons, at present unknown. He wishes those concerned to know that several hens as well as the fowlhouse were left behind, presumably

through an oversight, and invites a further visit when something else will be doing in the “foul” line. *** WHILST at practice on Sunday morning a very painful accident happened to one of the weekend visitors on the cricket pitch at the Chelsea recreation ground. One or two of the players were engaged in an argument close to the wickets and a ball was bowled to a batsman who drove it hard into the face of one of the visitors, breaking his nose. Dr. Le Souf was sent for and has been in attendance since. No further serious injury is apparent, and it is expected the invalid will be able to get about at the latter end of this week. *** Nocturnal Visitors THE management of the Ragged Boys’ Home, Frankston, finds it impossible to cultivate vegetables, owing to the depredations of opossums which visit the gardens by night. The superintendent has applied to the authorities for permission to destroy these nocturnal visitors, and Senior Constable Culhane is now making enquiries. It is stated that 2000 cabbage plants, which were planted overnight by the boys, had completely disappeared next morning. *** AT the Frankston Police Court on Tuesday, before Messrs. P. Wheeler (chairman) and J. Brown, J.sP., three young men, named Chas. Harrison, James Conway and Victor Malone, were charged with being drunk and disorderly on Sunday last.

Graham gave evidence as to the arrest of defendants, who, it appears, were celebrating a Caulfield Cup victory. The Bench inflicted a fine of 20/- in each case. *** Building Regulations MR. Lawrey, referring to his remarks at previous meeting, said that he desired to emphasise his contention that the building regulations should be tightened up. He moved that the council be requested to act with a view to declaring Bay street, Playne street, Young and Wells street brick or concrete areas.

Jones, shire secretary, wrote stating that the Country Roads Board could not grant the request of the council to have portion of Mornington road reserve, near The Fernery, made available for tennis courts and bowling greens, as a portion of the road referred to would, in the future, be required for the widening of the roadway. Members expressed disappointment at the decision of the Country Roads Board, the opinion being expressed that it would be many years before any scheme for widening the road would be carried out. *** Snakes!

Langwarrin in pole position, spinner makes an impact

By Brodie Cowburn

Bowler's day out: Mornington's Bryce McGain chalked up 5/51 in their match against Baxter. Picture: Alan Dillon

PROVINCIAL

LANGWARRIN has victory in their sights after a strong showing on the first day of their two-day clash with Red Hill. Red Hill hosted Langwarrin on Saturday. The home side won the toss and chose to bat first. Red Hill opener Riley Shaw was dismissed for just two runs to start their innings. They struggled to recapture momentum from there. Captain Chris Weeks scored 34 from 63 to help salvage something for his side. Red Hill was eventually bowled out for 133 after 55 overs. Matthew Prosser and Jackson Mockett did most of the work for Langwarrin with the ball, bowling 34 overs between them. Mockett posted figures of 3/40 and Prosser took 4/39. Langwarrin made a good dent in their target before stumps. They will start on day two from 2/59 with Matthew Prosser and Trevor Johnston at the crease. A good team performance has put Long Island in a good position against Heatherhill. Long Island batted first on Saturday. Although no one batter made a massive total, they scored runs all the way down the batting order. Long Island will attempt to defend a total of 232 this Saturday. Half centuries from Rhys Elmi and Harry Maxwell helped Baden Powell to a healthy total of 215 against Sorrento on Saturday. Sorrento batted for six overs before stumps. They managed to avoid losing a wicket, and will start day two on 0/6.

Mornington closed out the day with authority. They scored 2/90 before stumps - Shane Hockey remains at the crease unbeaten on 54. Mornington will need to score just 60 runs to win this Saturday. An unbeaten knock of 88 from Patrick Nagel helped Rosebud to a healthy total against Seaford Tigers last weekend. After a scrappy start, Nagel came in at number seven and took control of the match. He also took a wicket before stumps to round out an excellent performance. The Tigers will restart their innings at 1 / 3. Mt Eliza set Moorooduc a target of 230 to chase down at Narambi Reserve last weekend. Dromana posted a massive total of 7/291 against Somerville.

DISTRICT Pines will need to reach a target of 146 to beat Old Peninsula this Saturday. They scored 0/12 before stumps at Peninsula Grammar last weekend.

PENINSULA

A FIVE-wicket haul from former Australian Test spinner Bryce McGain has put Mornington in the box seat for a win over Baxter.

Baxter batted first on Saturday at Alexandra Park. Their batters made a few good starts, but couldn’t convert their runs into big totals. Baxter was bowled out for 149 from 58 overs. The tail end dug in late, but McGain soon worked his way through it. He finished up with figures of 5/51 from 20 overs.

A NEAR 200 run partnership between Scott Murray and Charlie Nunn helped Main Ridge score a massive total against Flinders last weekend. Murray and Nunn combined for a 193-run stand. Murray was dismissed first for 94, and Nunn was eventually caught out for 115. Main Ridge scored 9/308. Flinders face an almighty mountain to climb to get anything from the match.

Crib Point have put themselves in a good position for a home ground win. They need to score 109 more runs to beat Delacombe Park with nine wickets left in hand. Crib Point bowled out Delacombe Park for 163. Matthew Blake took four wickets for the Magpies. Carrum set Balnarring a target of 212 to score to win at Balnarring Reserve last weekend. Seaford closed out the round by scoring 262 against Carrum Downs.

SUB DISTRICT

THREE wickets from bowler Ezra Hughes may save a result for Ballam Park against Frankston YCW. Ballam Park batted first on Saturday, but couldn’t make a huge impact on the scoreboard. They were eventually bowled out for 131 from 63 overs. With 16 overs left to play for the day, Frankston YCW looked to make a dent in their target. Ezra Hughes did well to keep them at bay, and ended up taking an impressive 3/16 before stumps. The Stonecats lost four wickets before the end of the day. They will need to score 101 runs this weekend with six wickets in hand. At Truemans Road Reserve last weekend, Boneo posted a good total of 7/228 against Tootgarook. Around the grounds, Skye was bowled out for 204 by Mt Martha. Mt Martha scored 1/22 before stumps. Pearcedale will start day two of their match from 1 / 8, chasing Tyabb’s total of 207.

Chelsea says Macleod’s the man SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LOCAL coaching legend Gus Macleod is the new gaffer of ambitious State 4 outfit Chelsea. Macleod ended a five-year senior coaching hiatus when he agreed terms with Chelsea a fortnight ago. He was last in charge of a senior team in 2018 when he completed his 20th straight season at Langwarrin. Since then he has worked as a technical director at Lawton Park but the lure of the Chelsea post was impossible to ignore. “I never lost that itch that urge to coach senior players,” he said. “I enjoyed coaching the coaches at Langy but the Chelsea job just felt right. “Their facilities are spot-on, the people are ambitious and they’ve got lots of juniors, women’s teams and thirds – they’re a very progressive club.” Recently appointed Chelsea technical director Stuart Munro made initial contact with Macleod about the possibility of him coaching at Edithvale Recreation Reserve. Macleod is expected to be assisted by Ronnie Whitton while also mentoring a couple of coaches already at Chelsea. “There’s a good feeling about the place and it reminds me of Langy back in the day so let’s see where this takes us. “We haven’t talked about specific targets but I’m hoping we win the league to be honest. “That’s my aim anyway.” Macleod has noted that last season Chelsea finished eighth conceding 55 goals and scoring 37 and that gives him a starting point. “The top scorer only scored seven so these are stats that help you get an idea of what we might need but let’s see.” The seniors and reserves will play each other in a bounce game on Saturday 2 December and there will be four other sessions before the Christmas and New Year break. Macleod will arrange practice matches against some quality opposition and start training again on Tuesday 23 January so he’ll have ample opportunity to assess the quality of his squad. “I think we’ll do what we did at Langy and arrange a weekend training camp as part of our preparation. “We’ve discussed a budget and I think it’s okay at this level but I really don’t want to say too much until I can assess the players.

Look who’s back: Chelsea president Carlo Bellino shakes hands with Gus Macleod after the local coaching icon agreed to become the club’s new head coach. Picture: Supplied

“I’m told they are dedicated to the club which is important and I want to get that winning mentality into them because that goes with everything else that you set up. “I’m really impressed by what I’ve been told so far and I’m really looking forward to this.” And so ends Macleod’s official ties with Langwarrin where he was in charge for 447 league games, a feat that seems destined to stand the test of time. He’s won multiple promotions and league championships with Langwarrin, Dockerty Cups with Fawkner and Green Gully and a State League Cup and Division One title with Springvale City. His CV has winner written all over

it and it made a huge impression on Chelsea president Carlo Bellino. “We were absolutely shocked and proud that a person of his stature in the football community would want to come to a great club like ours,” Bellino said. “To have a local football legend on board is really exciting for us and our senior men and reserves squads can only benefit from a coach who has such a wealth of football knowledge.” Macleod takes over from Carlo Melino who stepped down from the post after six years due to family reasons. And Melino gave his successor a resounding endorsement. “Well it’s an amazing appointment that makes me feel humbled that a

man of Gus’s standing will take the torch from me and lead Chelsea in an exciting new chapter along with Stuart (Munro),” Melino said. “I feel so proud of what we have achieved at Chelsea with big-name coaches applying for the senior role in fact I’m overwhelmed by the response.” Melino and Macleod share a link first formed decades ago. “Gus coached me in the National Youth League over 20 years ago and he inspired me to get into coaching,” Melino added. In other coaching news Mark Larner has firmed as the next head coach of Chelsea’s State 4 rival Somerville Eagles. It’s understood that Larner was one

of four candidates interviewed by Somerville last week and club insiders say they were impressed by his presentation. Larner finished his first stint as senior coach of Mount Martha this year taking over from Chris Sanderson who may return to the role at Civic Reserve. Larner coaches one of Somerville’s MiniRoos teams in which his son plays. Meanwhile Mount Martha held its presentation night last weekend. Senior best and fairest winner was Corey Riddle who doubled up with the players’ player of the year award while the coach’s player of the year winner was Derren Elliott. In State 1 news star midfielder Rhys Craigie has left Mornington and agreed terms with Malvern City. The Scottish import joined the Seagulls in February 2022 and previously played with Beaumaris. “I loved my time at Mornington,” Craigie said. “I made some mates for life and felt welcome from the day I landed. “I wish nothing but the best for ‘Jamo’ and the boys.” Mornington continues to pursue some big-name signings and is believed to have held talks with former Casey Comets and Peninsula Strikers star John Prescott but the English striker has elected to remain at Eltham Redbacks. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers have signed Hamraz Zenoozi from Beaumaris. The former Langwarrin and Frankston Pines winger was part of Beaumaris’s State 1 championship side in 2022 and played 15 games for the club in NPL 3 this year. The 22-year-old is the sixth addition to Strikers’ senior squad during the current off-season after the club recently signed Ethan Goulding and Tom Wood (from Langwarrin), Charlie Gunning and Ben Symonds (Mornington) and Taylan Geylan (Dandenong South). Huss and Moey Chehimi, Ahmad Tabbara and Andrew Goff have left Strikers.
