councils in the biggest tender for this type of infrastructure ever undertaken in Melbourne.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has joined 14 other councils in Melbourne’s south east to form a company to deliver an advanced waste facility to process household rubbish rather than bury it. It is all part of the state government’s new circular

economy policy – Recycling Victoria: A New Economy whose target is to divert 80 per cent of waste from landfill by 2030, with an interim target of 72 per cent by 2025. The company, a so-called Special Purpose Vehicle called South East Metropolitan Advanced Waste Processing Pty Ltd, has its own legal identity. It will provide advanced waste processing on behalf of the

O’Connor. “By signing up to the SPV we are strengthening our ability to secure the economic, environmental, and social benefits from the facility,” she said. “Advanced waste processing will do more with the resources that are being put in landfill and achieve better financial, environmental and social outcomes.

“Advanced waste processing is a great solution for household rubbish that would normally go to landfill.” But Cr O’Connor warned that the shire will “still need to continue kerbside recycling and green and food waste collection services as part of a total approach to managing waste”.

Tests show COVID not going away Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Here’s cheers: Brewers Richard and Sarah Jeffares toast their success. Picture: Supplied

Brewer tops after tough year DESPITE eight months of taproom closures, TWØBAYS Brewing Co has been named Xero Small Business of the Year. The Dromana brewery, which opened in December 2018, claims to be the nation’s largest independently owned gluten free beer brand. Mount Martha residents Richard and Sarah Jeffares say they have brought a range of craft beer to a community of about six million who previously had to miss out to avoid gluten. “It’s been a challenging period for everyone, but winning this award is testament to the fantastic team we’ve

built at TWØBAYS – the majority of whom are Mornington Peninsula residents,” CEO and founder Mr Jeffares said. “With more than 80 per cent growth in FY21, our mix of revenue streams have enabled us to weather the challenges that COVID-19 presented. “We generate strong revenue from our direct-to-customer online sales across the country, and our national distribution is split well between off-premise - bottle shops - and onpremises - pubs and restaurants. “Now we’re very excited to have our taproom [open] again.”

ROSEBUD Respiratory Clinic has detected an average of 60 positive cases of COVID-19 per week recently and 54 cases last week. The figures show the virus is still running riot on the Mornington Peninsula, as the bulk of the testing in the region is done at the Rosebud and Frankston hospitals and at state government-run pop-up clinics. Schools have been hard-hit, too, with outbreaks at Red Hill, Boneo, Rosebud, and Mount Martha primary schools, St Mary’s Hastings, and Peninsula Grammar. Dr Sally Shaw said Rosebud Respiratory Clinic offered free Rapid Antigen testing, with results sent to the patient via SMS within 15 minutes. “This is important for people concerned they have inadvertently picked up the virus and are worried about their vulnerable loved ones,” she said. The more-common PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) high nasal swab test detects the viral DNA and is much more accurate than the RAT, Dr Shaw said. “Because it is actually picking up the DNA it is always accurate, whereas the Rapid Antigen Test picks up a protein on the virus. Because it needs a significant viral load it can be negative at the start of the illness, and at the end of the illness where the patient is not shedding a lot of virus. “People who are double vaxxed will not shed as much virus so it is

important for them to wait for the PCR results which we are turning around in 24 hours.” Rosebud Respiratory Clinic uses a medical grade Rapid Antigen test with a high sensitivity and specificity that is not available to the public, Dr Shaw said. “In a clinical setting, we can be accurate in performing the buffer solution and timing testing, and are able to ensure that the test is done correctly. “Without these measures in place the failure rate of the public RAT test is higher than stated by the manufacturer. Also, the low nasal swab is not

uncomfortable.” Dr Shaw said her practice conducted the only clinical comparison of Rapid Antigen testing with PCR. “In our two-week study we saw 3783 patients of which we received 70 positive RATS results but also 12 results which were false negatives.” Dr Shaw said Rosebud Respiratory Clinic did about 15 per cent of the COVID-19 testing on the Mornington Peninsula. The clinic, at 1391 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud, is open weekdays 9am-7pm and weekends 9am-5pm. Call 0436 033 507.

Working towards a safe, happy future for all By Geraldine Bilston* IN a world where politics and leadership are so often characterised by misogyny, power over and patriarchy I am so happy to tell you that my mayor is my hero. I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Cr Despi O’Connor. Five years ago I escaped an abusive relationship. The Mornington Peninsula is my home. It is part of my past; it’s where my daughter and I were abused. But this place is also our future and I want a future where women are respected and safe. Since that time in my life I have worked hard to push for change. I have shared my story publicly many times and more recently I have been working alongside the Victorian government to assist in reform and service delivery in the family violence space. It is hard work. I am often tired, sometimes despondent, but always hopeful. I believe in a future where everyone is safe – and I know that is completely achievable – because violence against women is preventable. We create change at the top - our policies, our systems, our legislation – those things are important. But for true social change, to achieve true social justice, that requires grassroots efforts. Mornington Peninsula Shire participated in a women’s health education

campaign. It included Facebook posts about menstrual health, access to abortion and contraception, as well as sexual pleasure. So, what does this campaign have to do with me or my fight to end violence against women? Upholding the rights of women is about more than just making flippant statements like “I don’t support blokes bashing their wives”. Making those statements is the easy part. Doing the work to create a society and community that actually respects and values women – that’s where the work is. So, while Despi and her team took a position in promoting and educating our community in a way that works towards a society that values women, they also copped backlash (“Shire’s sex talk a smash hit on social media” The News 5/10/21). Change is hard. Resistance is to be expected. If you were part of the collective pearl-clutching gasp that responded to this campaign, I invite you to reflect on why. What is so offensive to you that our shire and its leadership would prioritise a campaign that works towards a future of gender equality? In particular, if you are outraged by this public messaging around women’s sexual pleasure then I suggest you place that in the context of today’s world, a world where young men are accessing hardcore pornography as their number one point of

sexual education, and our young girls are being coerced and pushed to perform sexually demeaning acts. If counteracting that causes you stress and you feel that the shire playing its part of education on this is misplaced, you need to ask yourself why. We all have a role to play and I am glad that the shire is embracing its role. To find an ally in our local leadership energises and motivates me. Over the past few years I have realised my own perpetrator stole so much from me. He changed me and completely changed the trajectory of my life. But he could not take away my hope. And today, as I look at our local leadership, I thank them for helping me harness my hope, for my daughter, for our future, for our community. We must all challenge the societal norms and structures that continue to allow violence against women. Thank you Despi and all those in leadership across our community that continue to fight for a future where we are valued, respected, and safe. * Geraldine Bilston has been deputy chair of the Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council in May 2020 and sits across several consulting and advisory boards including the Mornington Peninsula Primary Prevention Collaboration and White Ribbon National Advisory Council.

Burgess calls time after 16 years Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess, pictured, will not recontest the seat of Hastings at the next state election in November. He said after 16 years it was the “right time for me and it’s the right time for my party” to resign, saying he is confident leader Matthew Guy and his team “have the vision, policy ideas and capacity to offer a competitive and credible alternative” at the next poll. His resignation is another shifting of the sands beneath the state Liberal Party which is experiencing multiple internal contests including Mornington where former federal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther is throwing his hat into the ring against the longserving David Morris. Mr Burgess, a former barrister, won the seat from the ALP in 2006 and strengthened his hold in elections in 2010, 2014 and 2018 winning with 51.1 per cent of the vote two-party preferred against a 6.6 per cent swing to Labor. Before entering politics he ran a small business specialising in consulting across a variety of technology fields and used that expertise as party spokesperson for Small and Medium Enterprises 2014-18. “It has been an honour to be a Liberal member of the Victorian Parliament,” Mr Burgess said last week. “Serving my community has been a life-long passion and having that

privilege for 16 years is something for which I will be forever grateful to my community.” Mr Burgess said when first elected he thought the party would have more time in government and, with

that, “more opportunities to deliver the big-ticket items that every community wants and needs”. “While things didn’t turn out that way, I was given the opportunity to do the most satisfying and worth-

while work of my life,” he said. “Literally, thousands of opportunities to help local people and families, overcome the many big and small challenges life sent their way. “I have great faith and confidence in my friend Matthew Guy and in his team and I know they will provide Victorians with a real choice. “I am truly blessed to have such a loving and understanding family and I’ve been privileged to have the support of many committed co-workers in my office over my time as the Member for Hastings.” Mr Burgess praised co-worker Barry Fay. “Barry has been with me from day one and his service to our community has been outstanding,” Mr Burgess said. “Those in office are elected to bring about positive change to the communities they represent, and I am immensely proud of all that has been achieved throughout our community over the past four terms.” Mr Burgess said while achievements were “usually things done, occasionally things that are stopped can have just as positive an effect on a local community”. He cited campaigns to “stop a bitumen plant, urea plant and AGL’s gas plant from being forced on Crib Point” as his favourite achievements. “It’s now time to pass the baton onto someone new, with a fresh perspective, who will continue to serve this wonderful community,” he said. Liberal Party pre-selections are expected to be finalised by the end of the year.

Community Hub program supports locals THE Community Hub Program at Lucky Lotto & News Hastings has kicked off with customers winning vouchers to “use and spend local”. Proprietor Barry McKay the program “supports local businesses, local jobs, local charities and the local community”. “Rather than buying a TV or barbecue as a Christmas promotion we have been buying business vouchers to give away in our lucky dip draw,” he said. “Members of the community are then able to use them to shop locally.” Mr McKay said his business partners had helped make the program a success by donating vouchers and special offers for his shop to give away. “The list of business partners is growing and I have posted it on the Hastings Community Facebook page,” he said. “As we get closer to Christmas our customers will be offered the opportunity to buy vouchers and that money will go to local charities.” Businesses wanting to get involved can call Mr McKay on 0477 007 878.

Plan a framework for shire By Stephen Taylor MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council last week adopted its 202232 Financial Plan as a framework for services and spending over the next 10 years. The Local Government Act 2020 requires councils to develop and adopt a financial plan for that period. Chief Financial Officer Bulent Oz said financial planning was the process of aligning financial capacity with long-term service objectives. “This financial plan is our key financial planning document and establishes a sound financial framework for council’s decisions,” he said. “It is instrumental in ensuring we can deliver enhanced services now and in the future. “The purpose of this … plan is to provide a 10 year financially sustainable projection as to how the actions of the Council Plan may be funded to achieve the Community Vision. “The objective is to create a responsible plan that protects our services, protects our ratepayers and safeguards the council’s growth. “The … plan aims to deliver on the Mornington Peninsula community’s vision for a sustainable, vibrant and prosperous future that values innovation and shared compassion.” Surpluses will be a feature of council budgets every year for the next decade. Mr Oz said the surpluses would be directed towards funding capital infrastructure to support the shire, particularly in growth areas. “In 2021 we asked the community to help shape our future and develop a new Community Vision for the peninsula to 2040,” he said. “Over 3000

people became involved providing feedback via surveys, online workshops, township pop-ups, postcards and drawings. “An independent community panel from across the Mornington Peninsula reviewed the feedback and other information to develop the Community Vision. “This 10 year Financial Plan is focused on achieving the aims of the Community Vision and will be reviewed annually to ensure continued alignment.” Key points in the plan are that council’s assets are forecast to increase from $2.8 billion to $2.96 billion by 2032 as a result of capital investment in infrastructure, while expenditure on key programs and services is forecast to be $2.8 billion over the next 10 years. Underlying surpluses will be a feature every year throughout the 10 year plan. They will be directed towards funding important capital infrastructure to support the municipality, particularly in growth areas. “Over the next 10 years we will spend $500 million on capital works,” Mr Oz said. “A major component of this investment will be increased open space and ongoing renewal and maintenance of existing assets. “Predicted savings of $150 million will be made, with our commitment to deliver ongoing efficiencies over the next 10 years, and leisure centres, parks and reserves will be maintained.” Mr Oz said the council’s $2.8 billion in property, infrastructure, plant and equipment assets’ replacement value would also be maintained.

Illegal dumping: Discarded waste scars the landscape at Red Hill and Hastings. Pictures: Supplied

Waste crime costing councils plenty Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RUBBISH dumping has been a problem on the Mornington Peninsula for years – and especially during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was exacerbated by the temporary closure of the shire’s transfer stations prompting recalcitrant residents to simply offload their waste in the bush. The shire’s Circular Economy and Waste team Leader Daniel Hinson said mattresses, household furniture and green waste were the major items dumped. Keep Victoria Beautiful Council says councils spent $89 million cleaning up illegal waste in 2019/20, with ratepayers left to foot the hefty bill. Worse, only a handful of dumpers were prosecuted.

The KVB said while there was a jump in the dumping of building, household, clothing and green waste in parks, nature strips and in rural areas, the biggest growth has been the dumping of asbestos-contaminated soil. Major culprits are construction businesses, civil engineering operators or rogue rubbish removalists looking to tip waste cheaply, and transient residents. The problem has been accelerated by an increase in the municipal councils’ landfill levy in July – up from $65.90 to $105.95 per tonne. “We would like the state government and EPA to develop and fund statewide anti-litter education campaigns, encourage the sharing of intelligence between councils, finance officer training and create more effective enforcement procedures and processes,”

the council’s enforcement training manager Travis Finlayson said. “Much of this activity is being done on an ad hoc basis, with councils expected to manage these processes themselves … something regional and smaller councils can ill afford to do.” Mr Finlayson also believes business and residents can act as the “eyes and ears” of council when it comes to waste crime incidents. “There are numerous examples of how members of the public have been central to an investigation and have helped with the successful prosecution of waste crime perpetrators, ensuring they get their just desserts,” he said. Anyone seeing a dumping incident should collect as many details as possible, such as vehicle type and registration number, and call the shire on 1300 850 600.

With Stephen Taylor

Hunt for burglar DETECTIVES are appealing for help in finding a man who broke into two houses in Padua Drive, Mornington, last week. Detective Senior Sergeant Eddie Logonder, of Somerville CIU, said the man stole personal items and clothing in the raids, 5-6am, Saturday 6 November. Residents disturbed the offender who fled before police arrived. The Caucasian man is described as aged 25-35, 170-175cm, with short, dark hair and a slim-to-medium build.

Deceptions, thefts

Detectives investigate Dromana stabbing DETECTIVES from Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit are investigating a stabbing that occurred in Dromana on Saturday 13 November. A 17-year-old boy from Tootgarook was at an outdoor gathering on Boundary Road when he was stabbed by an unknown male about 10.30pm. He was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still being investigated and no arrests have been made at this stage. Investigators are keen to speak to anyone who was at the gathering and urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

POLICE are appealing for assistance to identify multiple offenders following thefts and deceptions across the state earlier this year. Stolen credit card numbers were used to buy goods valued at about $22,000 at stores in Mornington, Fairfield, Preston, Ballarat, Delacombe, Mentone, Keysborough, and Echuca in April May, July, and August. Anyone who recognises the men, pictured right, or who has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Drugs charges POLICE from the Southern Metro Divisional Response Unit and Mornington Peninsula CIU arrested a Frankston man following an investigation into drug trafficking last week. They executed search warrants at houses in Mount Martha and Frankston before arresting the

30-year-old and allegedly seizing a large quantity of methyl-amphetamine, Taser and $14,000 cash. The man appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week and was remanded to reappear at a later date.

Plants seized HASTINGS police searched a Crib Point property last week and allegedly found a sophisticated drug cultivation operation. A “substantial” quantity of plants were seized and a 51-year-old Crib

Point man arrested. He is facing charges relating to the cultivation and possession of a drug of dependence. Police said an illegal electrical bypass system was a potential fire hazard. The man was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrate’s Court at a later date. Police continue to target the cultivation and trafficking of illicit drugs and urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 of submit a confidential report at crimestoppers.com.au

Basking in Bert’s brilliance just part of the job Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

On the air: Former TV director Ray Punjer has a lifetime of happy memories from working with the great Bert Newton. Picture: Yanni

A ROSEBUD man who spent 50 years in the television industry watched Friday’s state funeral for the legendary Bert Newton with more than a passing interest. The service at St Patrick’s Cathedral was, naturally, televised to a wide audience such was Bert’s popularity and his long-standing role as the quintessential essence of Melbourne. So the depth of feeling expressed by those who loved Bert didn’t surprise Ray Punjer one bit … Starting at Channel 9 in the late 1950s, Mr Punjer directed Bert on many of his most popular shows and counts himself as one of the great man’s closest mates and confidants – often spending hours chatting and “having a quiet one” at Bert’s backstage bar where Abbot’s Lager was the drink of choice. Their friendship began during Bert’s early days as a booth announcer, and blossomed as his star climbed into the 1960s on IMT with Graham Kennedy, The Don Lane Show and New Faces, which had a decade-long run. Punjer also directed Hey Hey It’s Saturday, Deal or No Deal and contributed to Bert’s morning radio shows where he was introduced as “Tout” the tipster. Fond recollections include joining in Bert’s impromptu dressing room quizzes, giving him a “Groucho” Marx lamp from Las Vegas which Bert proudly placed on his bar, arranging

for a budgerigar to fly from Bert’s finger up to his precious hairpiece, and having the art department airbrush his own face over Bert’s face on a photo with TV star Bob Hope. “Old Moonface” was not amused … Peppering his recollections are stories about practical jokes, fun on air, Bert’s generous nature and ability to be “one of the boys” despite his star status. He was vulnerable, too, despite his fame, and sometimes needed encouragement and consolation, such are the pressures of being a household name. All up Mr Punjer reckons he’s been involved in the making of 26,000 TV shows with Channels 9 and 7 and been a part of the industry from its early

days before “retiring” in 2005-06. His love of the industry encouraged him to continue working alongside the Working Dog crew’s Rob Sitch and Glenn Robbins, who no doubt benefited from his industry knowledge and experience. However, for Mr Punjer, nothing could have compared with the great days of Melbourne television and working alongside its royalty. At the top was Bert … “He was a top man who treated people very well,” Mr Punjer said. “We had a great relationship and there will never be anyone else like him. “I treasure those days and am very sad to see him go.” And so say all of us …

GALLERY TALK MPRG has reopened to the public with a suite of new exhibitions for visitors to enjoy. Until 13 March MPRG will be displaying Wall Drawings that brings together eleven leading contemporary artists from across Australia. This exhibition explores the expansive nature of wall drawings and paintings, situating newly commissioned wall-based works throughout the Gallery. In Collection+ Jess Johnson / Eduardo Paolozzi - Trailblazing artist Jess Johnson is paired with one of the pioneers of the pop art movement Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. Thin grey line brings together the work of four highly skilled contemporary artists who incorporate fine detail into their drawing practices: Becc Orszag, Indigo O’Rourke, Laith McGregor and Natalie Ryan. We are pleased to have supported so many artists in our program over these past months, commissioning new work for our current and future exhibitions. It has been a particularly tough time for artists, and we hope that the Gallery can play a part in supporting the renewal of our vibrant creative community on the Mornington Peninsula.

When visiting MPRG, all patrons over the age of 16 will be required to show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status or proof of medical exemption as a condition of entry, either through the Service Victoria app or a printed copy of your vaccination certificate. There will be a designated Covid Marshall on site who will assist visitors to check in. Your safety, and the safety of our staff, volunteers and community is our priority. Please wear a mask if you are aged 12+ inside the Gallery and make sure to keep a safe distance between others.

We also have our new MY MPRG Kids activity booklet that you can collect for free from reception. This activity booklet is perfect for late primary school aged children, but has activities for children of all ages. We look forward to seeing you back at MPRG! MPRG Gallery Director Danny Lacy

There will be a public bar, beer garden, atrium, poolside, street dining, late-night venue, 24-hour in-room dining, as well as event rooms and a sunset roof deck. A wellness centre will

have a bathhouse, outdoor pool and gym. The historic hotel’s acquisition by restaurateur Julian Gerner in 2016 and contentious development proposals and permit battles leading to VCAT appeals had many townspeople fearing it would sink into its 145-year-old foundations (“Works begin to bring Conti back to life” The News 7/9/20). Now its future is on firmer ground after a consortium consisting of the Victor Smorgon Group, Kanat Group and developer Trenerry Property bought the property in April 2020. Stephen Taylor

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

SATURDAY

GRANTCHESTER

ABC TV, 7.30pm

THURSDAY

RED ELECTION

SBS, 8.30pm

Now hitting the halfway point in its spy thriller story, and some viewers are still holding on to hope that Red Election will ﬁnally deliver some outstanding plot twists and some wise moves by its protagonists to foil the baddies. But it’s wise not to get too excited about where this lacklustre Swedish thriller is heading. Tonight, Zak’s (Aidan McArdle) special advisor, Nikki (Amy Shiels), talks to Adam (James D’Arcy, pictured) about rigging the digital vote to keep Scotland in the UK.

FRIDAY

TEA WITH THE DAMES

ABC TV, 9.20pm

Director Roger Mitchell (Notting Hill) hit on an absolute gem of an idea for this documentary. Gathering acting royalty legends – Dames Eileen Atkins (pictured), Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith – in one place to gossip, laugh, and reminisce. The magic was simple: put them together and let the cameras roll. The Dames discuss their friendship that goes back half a century, their starts in the theatre and subsequent rise to ﬁlm and TV.

SUNDAY

ADELE: ONE NIGHT ONLY

SEVEN, 7pm

English singer-songwriter Adele (pictured above) has kept a low proﬁle while delivering a stream of chart-topping, catchy songs featuring her soulful voice. Now, after six years of musical silence and with a new album about to hit the shelves, fans are treated to this epic two-hour special, recorded live in Los Angeles. The singing powerhouse, whose album 21 is the highest-selling record of the 21st century, will perform 10 of her songs, including tracks from her new album, 30. Adele also sits down with Oprah Winfrey for a wide-ranging chat about her life.

Tuning in for a season ﬁnale is always a bit nerve-racking: will the conclusion be palatable and, more pressingly, is another season on the way? Fans of this charming ‘50s-set drama will be pleased to ﬁnd a resounding yes to both questions; now we can all sit back and immerse ourselves in the three-piece suit-wearing, respectable world of Reverend William Davenport (Tom Brittney) and his sidekick DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green). Tonight, a successful music producer who has been involved in a domestic dispute with his wife is murdered, and Geordie must consider whether an army buddy could be the killer. Tom Brittney stars in Grantchester.

Use high rates to fix housing crisis on peninsula The housing crisis is possibly caused by all those second homes, the weekender, the investment property or part of my portfolio (“Peninsula facing ‘housing crisis’” The News 2/11/21). Same old story: the wealthy buying property as investments, so property prices rise, and locals are priced out. The same thing is happening in Byron Bay, NSW as it did in Port Douglas, Queensland back in the 1980s when Christopher Skase started the Mirage resort. It is also happening in London where some 30,000 homes stand empty. [British prime minister] Boris [Johnson] suggested a tax of 1000 per cent, but that is perhaps a bit high. How about triple or quadruple rates for any property standing empty for more than six months a year, including those rented as Airbnb? No doubt [there will be] a few squeals of protest from the usual quarters, but should people be living in their cars or under cardboard boxes? John Shorter, McCrae

Unfair to Hunt In his criticism of Health [and Aged Care] Minister [Flinders MP Greg] Hunt, former state Labor MP Geoff Hilton accused Mr Hunt of being directly responsible for the slow rollout of COVID-19 vaccines (“Hunt ‘not the best’” Letters 26/10/21). This claim is false, Mr Hunt personally began negotiations with Pfizer in April 2020 and entered into an agreement with [the company]. Because the Trump administration had been very clear that the US would not be exporting vaccines to several countries of the world, including Australia and New Zealand; Mr Hunt established vaccine manufacturing in Australia for Astra Zeneca. Contrary to Mr Hilton’s claims, by November 2020 Australia actually had five contracts for vaccine supply, Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, Novavax, Covax and the Queensland University vaccine, and the locally manufactured

Astra Zeneca vaccine was being distributed early this year. Mr Hilton made further false claims that Australia is lagging behind in vaccine uptake, yet we have one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and one of the lowest death rates. Australia has also recorded one of the best economic recoveries from the pandemic. It is ironic that [Mr Hilton] berates Mr Hunt for being responsible for extended lockdowns and economic devastation while he is silent on our state government’s appalling handling of hotel quarantine, which saw the deaths of approximately 800 people, and the six harsh lockdowns that the people of Victoria have had to endure, causing Melbourne to have the unenviable reputation of the being the most locked down city in the world. Jackie Hammill, Mornington

Hypocritical So, Malcolm Turnbull states that Prime Minister Scott Morrison has a reputation for lying and cancelling the French submarine deal is a disgrace. But wait. Turn back time to 2016 when Tony Abbot with Turnbull’s backing cancelled the plan for a highly expectant Japan to build our submarines. Succeeding Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull then informed an extremely upset Japanese prime minister that the contract was going to France. Prior to that in 2015, when the Northern Territory Liberal government leased Darwin harbour with its American military base to a Chinese company, an alarmed American President [Barak] Obama phoned Mr Turnbull to know what was going on. The next day a very sheepish Malcolm Turnbull announced on national TV to a shocked Australian public that everyone knew about it and jokingly declared that Obama clearly doesn’t read the local Darwin newspapers. Everyone knew? Yeah, right. Whose credibility is on the line here? Austin Sadler, Mornington

Australia ’not first’ for PM So, the Prime Minister Scott Morrison puts Australia first (“PM puts Australia first” Letters 9/11/21)? I beg to differ and cite three examples. Bushfires. During the devastating bushfires 2019/20 Australians saw parts of their country go up in flames with many lives lost and hundreds of properties destroyed. Did our PM provide leadership and assurance to a traumatised nation? No, he went on holiday with his family to Hawaii. Putting Australia first? COVID-19. When many countries around the world were vaccinating their populations, Australia was left stranded in the starting gate as a direct consequence of our over reliance on locally manufactured vaccines and a reluctance to enter contract negotiations with overseas manufactures such as Pfizer and Moderna. This gross incompetence resulted in extended lockdowns economic devastation and financial hardship and emotional trauma for many. Putting Australia first? Climate change. The PM’s government has had to be brought kicking and screaming to a halfhearted commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 with no plan how to get there except some vague reference to a totally unproven and hugely expensive technology carbon capture and storage. Climate change is an existential threat to our current way of life. Maybe not to us but certainly future generations and Australia is particularly vulnerable. The government’s response is totally inadequate. Putting Australia first? At the upcoming federal election Australia has an opportunity to pass judgement on a government and prime minister who have failed to keep Australia safe, failed to look after the long term interests of the Australian people and has certainly failed to put Australia first. It should be an interesting campaign Geoff Hilton, Mount Martha

Australia overcharged Scott Morrison, our prime minister, has promised $250 million towards electric vehicles, mostly for charging stations in Australia. I object. Let the electric car makers, vendors and profit takers build that infrastructure. Let market forces prevail rather than expecting socialism to make wealth for these people. All of these vendors want the Australian taxpayer to subsidise the sale of every electric car because they are too dear. Do people know that a family sized electric car with a battery of at least 100kwh will require the same amount of electric power that an average household uses in one entire week to charge up once and travel about 200 kilometres? Consider the implications of that and also the fact that over three quarters of our grid electricity is coal powered, so that that the electric car is not green at all. It is likely that little electric cars might be popular around the suburbs as a commuter to the railway station or as a shopping jeep, maybe 100 kilometres a week. I reckon they will be a big flop for families, for country towns and for people with relatives in outback Victoria, let alone for a holiday trip. Hydrogen fuel cells are touted as the fuel of the future, but I am certain they have no future. Solar power without giant batteries won’t work (nuclear will). One thing is certain: future planetary climate cannot possibly be predicted, and I see forecasters as liars. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Sub contract As I understand it, we placed a contract with France in 2018 for $90 billion to provide us with submarines. This is a very substantial contract and presumably there have been progress meetings and discussions along the way. Maybe minutes of progress meetings. The Australian prime minister [Scott Morrison] recently announced that we had cancelled that contract and decided to buy a nuclear-powered submarine from the US/UK. The French submarine not being suitable? The French government seems to have been quite unaware that we had cancelled the contract and is stating that we have lied to them and that they have been “stabbed in the back”. Our prime minster says he had dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and advised him that we were not going ahead with the contract. So, is there a formal document of termination of the contract with France? Surely, all the argument about who said what and when could very easily be resolved by a

release of the formal notification of the cancellation. Ken Norris, McCrae

Help after fall On Saturday 30 October I tripped and fell outside the Hastings Library which required an ambulance journey to Frankston Hospital where I underwent plastic surgery to repair multiple lacerations and a fractured nose. I am so grateful to know we have such an awesome ambulance service and health care system. I would like to send a sincere “Thank you” to the kind passers-by who came to my assistance (I do not have their names to thank them personally). One who looked after me and provided first aid until the ambulance arrived. The other who rang for the ambulance and called my husband. Also, our lovely neighbour who dropped everything to drive my husband down to see me and collect our car. “Thank you” also to the thoughtful library staff member who introduced herself to my husband and found some books for me to read. Helen Heggie, Hastings

Quarry questions What’s going to convince the Ross Trust Trustees to change their plans [for another quarry on Arthurs Seat]? The community has been warned about the health risks thanks to Dr David Bannister (“Doctors warn of quarry health threat” The News 26/10.21). The trustees have been reminded of the hypocrisy of their plans. Blowing up our local environment to save other environments makes no sense. So, what’s really behind their plans? Could it be the loss of directors’ fees to make the comfortable retirement of the trustees even cozier? Claire Thorn, Flinders

Dumping ground Wonder if anyone visited the Dromana Dump on 3 November after the invasion of the tourrorists? With bins overflowing it looked like a street in New York during a garbo strike. So happy we have a waste charge to clean up after the tourrorism invasion. I also noticed the “clean team” is on the streets again picking up after them (more waste charge) and am sure they will start cleaning the beaches now. Is Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ever going to look after the ratepayers and start charging the tourrorists for the privilege of trashing our peninsula? If it did, we could do away with the waste charge altogether. Those I talk to are appalled that we have to pay for tourrorism to visit and clean up after them. I have not been involved in local politics for some time now but with the advent of Voices of Mornington Peninsula (VMP) whose aim “is to represent our voice at all levels of government and to ensure that our elected candidates respond to the wishes of our community”, I am looking forward to VMP involvement with the local government. Hopefully sooner than later, even though we have a lot on our plate at the moment. It appears that the council needs to hear some organised peninsula-wide voices. I do wonder if the councillors that have joined VMP are there to listen or to justify their existence and get re-elected. I am “Hoping for the best, planning for the worst”: Jack Reacher. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Technical history Surely a more appropriate heading than “Out with the old” would be “History lost” (The Times 9/11/21). This iconic building [formerly Frankston Technical College] that has been part of Frankston for over 100 years has been lost forever. Richard Pratten, from Chisholm, at least acknowledges the significance of the building, but to document and preserve stories from the public is an insult to the history of the site. Who will read these? Retaining this building would preserve the history in a more tangible way. Also, no materials have been salvaged from the building, which is totally unacceptable. Frankston Council together with Chisholm should hang their heads in shame at the loss of this part of Frankston’s history. What will next be lost by this short-sighted council? Chris Mansour, Mount Eliza

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bookmaker makes a grand entrance to races Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE Mornington races, in aid of the Somerville soldiers’ memorial, passed off successfully yesterday. Our sporting contributor will deal with the racing next issue. Wallace Mitchell, the well known bookmaker, made a spectacular landing on the course in his aeroplane. *** THE Frankston Park Improvement Committee met on Monday evening last, Cr Chas. Gray presiding. Others present were Messrs T. J. McMurtrie, S Lawrey, Willox, Dalman, Hector McComb, H. McComb, McCulloch, H. Morrison, Young, Hague, R. Fairnie (Secretary). Replies to postal appeals for subscriptions were not numerous, but an excellent result was obtained by Mr H. Morrison by personal canvas, the sum of over £11 being handed in by that gentleman, a vote of thanks to Mr Morrison was carried by acclamation. The chairman reported that the work of laying the drainage pipes in the oval had been commenced, under the supervision of the Shire Engineer. It was resolved to ask the Shire secretary to bring under the notice of the engineer the report obtained by the Council from Messrs McMurtrie and Clements regarding the drainage of the Park. *** THE Rev F. G. Watts, B.A. of Hastings, who recently refused a Naval chaplaincy, has accepted the Bishop of Willochra’s call to the Port Pirie rectorship. Port Pirie is the largest provincial city in South Australia.

*** ON Monday last a representative deputation from the combined progress associations waited on the Acting Deputy Postmaster-General to ask for improved telephone communication between Frankston and the city. The speakers were : Messrs Roy Beardsworth (Chelsea), C. Stanton Crouch, Rodda, Chitty (Long Island) Armstrong, McCulloch, Wiltshire (Seaford), Henderson (Edithvale), Jones (Aspendale) and W. Crawford Young (Frankston). Complaint was made that conversations between Frankston and Melbourne were frequently abandoned owing to the bad state of the line, and it was asked that a new cable be put in if possible. Mr Mason said his officers were now engaged in trying to remedy the defects in the line in question. He promised that one of the lines running to Carrum would be extended to Frankston but owing to the shortage of materials he could not promise a new line at present. He considered that the Electric light wires along the road contributed to the existing trouble and this probably would be accentuated when the railways were electrified. Mr Henderson said the position was particularly bad at Edithvale, where a grievance also existed in connection with the length of the time taken to put a call through. Mr McCulloch, Seaford, made similar complaint, and Mr Mason promised to investigate. Cr Armstrong asked for removal of telegraph pole from the centre of the

footpath, and was informed that the Department only undertook this work at the expense of the petitioning party. In reply to Mr Beardsworth, the Deputy said there was no chance of establishing a telephone exchange at Chelsea within the next twelve months. *** AN old Frankston identity, reading in “The Standard” last week that a resident of Seaford had been bitten by a snake while driving along the road, hastens to assure us that it is a common fallacy that snakes can be killed or disabled by the wheels of a vehicle passing over them. A snake in such cases invariably flattens itself, or, at all events, adjusts its varying feet of venom to meet the emergency. More often than not it will allow itself to be carried around by the wheel and then it is time for the driver or other occupants of the vehicle to watch out. The point is – Don’t drive over a snake with the idea of killing it; the plan won’t work. *** CHARLES Walker, a man of about 35 years, and a stranger to the district, was arraigned at the local Police Court, on Monday last, on the serious charge of having criminally outraged a little girl at Langwarrin last week. The case was, of course, heard in camera, but, after a prolonged hearing, Walker was ordered to stand his trial at the next sitting of the Criminal Court. Bail was not allowed. ***

UNDER the heading, “The Men from Snowy River”, in last issue Mr A. E. Lasslett, J.P. was reported to have been angling in the Tambo River locality during his recent vacation. Mr Lasslett requests us to state that he was not a member of the party mentioned and that he did no angling on or in the vicinity, of the Tambo, but in the Snowy and Brodribb rivers and the Coringle and Curlip lakes respectively. *** D. KELLY, Playne St. Frankston, writes: I notice in your last Langwarrin Budget that Mr John Clark is claimed as a very old resident of the district. I also read with interest and amusement his memoirs of the early days. He says there was a native camp on the site of Keast Bros’ store. I have resided in Frankston for the past 60 years and I never saw a blacks’ camp on the site mentioned. Two blacks (Jimmie and Liza) camped on the site of the Temperance Hall – that’s all I ever saw. And about those corroberies at Carrum. My aunt owned the Long Beach Hotel (now known as the Riviera) over 65 years ago and she never witnessed any corroberies there. Mr Clark claims to have planted the wonderful pear tree on Miss Latto’s property. When I came to Frankston some 63 years ago, the tree was then about five years’ old, having been planted by an American negro, Adam Orange (or Black Adam), employed by the Lyarid family. So, Mr Clark is either older than he looks, or he has lived since the days of

our venerable friend, Noah! *** CRICKET practise at Frankston tomorrow. Langwarrin unable to send along a team. *** IT is understood that Mr Joseph McComb has made a generous offer to the Shire Council in the way of providing permanent council chambers in Frankston. He proposes to transfer to the shire his buildings and land in Bay Street, known as the Temperance Hall, at a nominal figure and the council has been glad to accept his public spirited offer. *** ARMISTICE Day was observed in Frankston today. Flags were flying half mast, and two minutes silence was observed in the schools. *** THE late Mrs Sarah Jones, of Moorooduc, who died on Sept 19th, left £2,500 real estate and £464 personalty to her husband and children. *** CAPTAIN S. M. Bruce, M.P. of Frankston, returned to Melbourne from England yesterday. *** AFTER a long and painful illness Mr Martin Gould, son of Mr and Mr T. M Gould, of Nolan street, Frankston, died in Melbourne on Wednesday last. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Thelma. The remains were interred at Frankston yesterday. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 11 November 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Under The Influencer: All Hail the Halo! By Stuart McCullough IT was a matter of necessity. In order to photograph an object successfully, I needed appropriate lighting. Scouring the Internet, I found a type of lighting that suited my needs; it was an adjustable ring light. Just the thing for taking photographs of inanimate objects. The catalogue referred to it as an ‘influencer’ light. At the time of purchase, I had no idea what this meant. It was, so I believed, a reference to a particular type of bulb. Turns out that ‘influencer’ refers not to the light itself but to the person using it. An ‘influencer’, apparently, is a person who uses social media to promote brands. To the untrained eye – namely, my eye – this sounds a lot like unemployment. Doubtless, people who do this kind of thing spend their days rolling around in Bitcoin in the far-reaches of cyberspace, but it’d be an odd thing to put on a customs declaration under ‘occupation’ when arriving in another country. The product is intended, in every sense, to show the ‘influencer’ in the best possible light. Instantly, I was overwhelmed by the need to call JB Hi-Fi to tell them the light wasn’t to make me look better (if that were possible) but to help take photographs of various objects. When the person I was speaking to was either disconnected or became completely non-responsive after suffering a catastrophic lack of interest, I emailed a clarifying statement. I heard nothing back. I am now concerned that they have me pegged as some lunatic who spends all his time engaged in on line frippery and desperate self-promotion. Which, of course, I would be if I knew

how. There’s nothing worse than being misunderstood. Being thought of as an ‘influencer’ is especially troubling. The only people I’ve ever seen who have declared being an ‘influencer’ as their

life goal have been on Married At First Sight. Each to their own, but anything associated with the toxic cesspit of human misery that is MAFS is surely worth avoiding. It is, perhaps, no accident that ‘influencer’ sounds a lot to

the ear like ‘influenza’ and is probably just as bad for you. One minute, you’re picking up a light; the next you’re off to the doctors for a certificate. When you’re young, you can dream of being anything you wish. As a kid, most people I knew dreamed of opening the batting for Australia even if, like me, they couldn’t tell one end of a cricket bat from the other. Or an astronaut. Perhaps a plumber (thanks a lot, Mario!) Or maybe a shape-shifting bounty hunter from another planet sent to overthrow the government before colonizing Earth and its inhabitants as part of a broader intergalactic upheaval. (Or maybe that was just me?) At a certain point, your options seem to narrow. I was hanging out with my nephew. (Just being able to write that given the past two years is something to celebrate!) We were killing time and found ourselves in what I might loosely refer to as a ‘variety store’; the kind that stocks pretty much everything from kitchen utensils, to hair gel to flux capacitors and all points in between. As we roamed the aisles, hemmed in by shelves crammed with all kinds of goods, we came across a section for costumes. They had a startling array of dress ups available for sale. But, for reasons I can only assume relate to a deep desire to avoid being sued, the names of some of the costumes didn’t match their appearance. One costume looked a lot like a Smurf, but called itself, ‘Blue Elf’. An Oompa Loompa costume was titled ‘Red Candy Maker Boy’. ‘Kid’s Space Rebellion Fighter’ was obviously Star Wars and ‘Green Plumber Boy’ looked a lot like a certain figure from

Nintendo. But there was an exception; one that didn’t fear the laws of intellectual property. The ‘Children Jesus Costume’ was exactly as it sounds. It begs the question: who sends their kid off to a fancy dress party dressed as Jesus? It would, I feel, place a lot of pressure on the child to live up to the hype. To turn water into Fanta. To feed thirty kids with a slice of fairy bread and a single chocolate crackle. To raise Sparkles, the Highland Terrier who’s buried in the backyard just beyond the Hills Hoist, from the grave. To walk across the family swimming pool. And that’s even without mentioning the additional pressure to achieve one hundred per cent accuracy in ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’. Better off to dress them up as Spiderman and be done with it. Then it struck me - I should purchase ‘Children Jesus Costume’. With a few adjustments, I could adapt something intended for a nine year old and make it fit me. Better still, I could take my influencer light and attach it to the back of my neck so that a saintly halo appears over my head. Then update all my profile pictures –Instagram, Linked In and my customer account at JB HiFi. The irony is this – if after publishing this story there’s a sudden rush to buy ‘Children Jesus Costume’, I will have become an influencer, like it or not. It will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. As I sit here in my robes, my influencer light glowing gently above my head, I think that sounds just about right. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

New coaching quartet unveiled

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers, Somerville Eagles, Rosebud and Aspendale Stingrays will all feature new head coaches for the 2022 season. Donn Delaney has replaced Paul Williams at Strikers, Lee Barber is the new head coach at Somerville, Pat Sabatino is back in charge at Rosebud while Gregor Macnab fills the vacancy at Aspendale left by Barber’s switch. Delaney has been at Strikers for most of his coaching career having spent 10 years with the club’s juniors before NPL junior stints at Springvale White Eagles and Langwarrin. He has coached Strikers reserves and takes over from Williams who may have a year away from the sport due to personal commitments. Kosta Drakoulakos will take on the role of senior high performance manager while Jake Priest and Steve Shephard will again look after the reserves. Strikers seem certain to lose Aaran Currie who has been courted by a few clubs including Casey Comets. Currie is weighing up his options. In NPL2 there’s no change to Langwarrin’s coaching line-up but the club’s prize capture so far has been Ryan Paczkowski from Oakleigh Cannons. Langy major sponsor Greg Kilner of Premier Builders Group has been chasing Paczkowski’s signature for some time. His signing may have raised a few eyebrows at Dallas Brooks Park given his close bond with Mornington but “Patch” saw Langy as the perfect fit at this stage of his career. And he wants to return to his customary role up front. “Obviously Oakleigh used me in a few different positions so I’m really looking forward to playing as a striker again,” he said. “I didn’t want to drop too far down the leagues and from the conversations I’ve had with Langy they are very ambitious. “I know a lot of people there so it wasn’t hard to make up my mind.” Langy also signed former Bentleigh Greens and Dandenong City forward James Kelly from Essendon Royals while Jamie Cumming and Wayne Wallace joined Casey Comets. Former Victory striker George How-

ard also has left Lawton Park and although he has been linked with Beaumaris nothing has been agreed. Langy is expected to make a couple more signings during the off-season. In State 1 Mornington has signed former South Melbourne, Springvale White Eagles and Casey Comets attacking midfielder Cody Martindale from South Springvale and ex-Langwarrin forward John Maclean from Fitzroy City. Adam Jamieson and Nathan Peel remain at the coaching helm and it’s believed that the club is tracking an attacking midfielder from Scotland. Star striker Milos Lujic has joined Springvale White Eagles. “Milos was great for us and we really wish him well,” Jamieson said. “He wanted to join his boyhood club and we respect that.” Veteran midfielder Craig Smart has retired after a storied career that started in his native Scotland.

who knows what we could achieve,” McGuinness said. In State 3 Frankston Pines has started announcing on facebook the senior players that have been retained and there are no changes to the coaching staff. Coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor is likely to start pre-season training on Tuesday 23 November. In State 4 Carlo Melino will be in charge of Chelsea’s senior squad for a fifth consecutive season. Melino has spoken to his players and expects to retain “almost all of them”. He’s in the market for a new reserves coach after Dave Farrell stepped down. Seaford is yet to sign off on the reappointment of Peter Schwellinger as senior coach. The club has offered him the position but is yet to respond to some terms and conditions Schwellinger is seeking.

Smart played for Hutchison Vale, Hibs, Hearts, Clyde and Gretna before joining Frankston Strikers for the 2003 season. He returned to Scotland and was at Spartans and Montrose until Frankston Pines brought him back to Melbourne. He played an important part in Pines’ State 1 title triumph in 2007 under Jamieson. Dean Hennessy took Smart to Bentleigh Greens for the 2009 season before he reunited with Jamieson in 2012 when he joined Mornington. Smart recently embarked on the next phase of his footballing journey when his role as an assistant with Bentleigh Greens under-21s got underway. In State 2 Skye United is yet to appoint a replacement for senior assistant Stephen Duffy who has taken over at Bulleen’s NPLW under-19 side. Skye boss Phil McGuinness expects to retain most of last year’s squad. “If we can improve on last year

“We need at least four players to strengthen the squad if we want to push for promotion and I have the feeling other clubs already have the wheels in motion and we might fall behind,” he said. At Somerville the announcement of Barber’s appointment included a thankyou to last season’s coaches Dave Greening and Stan Packer. The club is hopeful that the duo will remain although they are yet to be appointed to new roles. Somerville held its AGM last night (Monday) and expects to sign off on appointments this week. At Baxter George Hughes and Robert Mathieson will again fill the senior coaching positions and there’s no news on player movements. In State 5 Sabatino’s return to Rosebud as senior coach came after playercoach Mark Pagliarulo stepped down. Stef Papaluca will assist Sabatino and the pair could face a major squad rebuild if rumours about player departures are accurate. The ’Buds made a pitch for Somerville’s Bryce Ruthven as a playing assistant coach but that fell through and they could lose Dougie Cunnison, Ash Scholes, Cal Richardson, Cory Osorio, Owen McDougall and Brandon Monk. John Maisano’s commitments with Melbourne City as its new Academy NPL head coach rule him out as a player. Aspendale’s new boss Macnab has coached at the club for over 10 years. He has won championships with the under-12s, under-15s and under-18s. “This success was based upon a core group of players and coaches who have progressed into senior squads at the club,” Macnab said. Macnab and Tony Guedes will share coaching duties with the seniors and reserves after working together in junior ranks and with the reserves squad. At Mount Martha Chris Sanderson has been reappointed as senior coach. Meanwhile Rosebud Heart has gone on the front foot and advertised for coaches and players via social media for its 2022 State 5 South seniors and reserves squads. Although the state federation is yet to sign off on the composition of State Leagues for 2022 and the deadline for applications from prospective participants falls this week Heart is confident that its application will be accepted.

Chartres ploughs through heavy conditions HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MATT Laurie looks to have another talented son of Toronado in his stable. The three-year-old gelding Chartres looked to be struggling in the very heavy conditions at Cranbourne on Saturday 13 November but clicked into gear in the straight to race away and win the threeyear-old contest by over three lengths. Mornington-based trainer Matt Laurie said there were worrying signs early with jockey Michael Dee having to urge the gelding along at the rear of the field. “It didn’t look that promising early but he just kept building into it and he was fantastic in the end,” Laurie said. Donning the same silks as his talented former stablemate Prince of Success (Toronado/Il Diamante) who was sold to Hong Kong for over $1.5million, Chartres too looks like he’ll be targeted towards the rich VOBIS races. “He’s a pretty laid back character,” Laurie said. “He’s a bit of a hard horse to get a guide on so I think it’ll just be a matter of racing him and see where he gets to. “We were sort of thinking about going to Ballarat next week for another VOBIS Gold opportunity but it might be a big ask to front up after running today on such a heavy track.” Despite the overcast weather, Laurie was thrilled to also see people back out at the races for Cranbourne Cup day. “It’s just good to get out and see people to be honest,” he said. “We’ve all (racing participants) been out at these meetings for a long time now with no one to chat to so it’s good to see people back at the races.”
