Honour for world record toy A WORLD record organised by Hastings Community House that saw the creation of a 1768.8-metre long toy snake has been named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2014 Community Event of the Year. The Western Port community rallied behind the Guinness World Record attempt, with the participation of more than 300 groups and individuals, including 18 schools, the McClelland Spinners, Balnarring Country Women’s Association, Bittern and Western Port Probus, South Care Lodge Hastings, PAST Disability Services Hastings and St John’s Knitting Group of Somerville. The project involved home-bound elderly residents and nursing home residents. Donations of wool, material and stuffing appeared in abundance and Hastings Happy Crafters worked tirelessly to knit, create, stuff and handsew snake lengths together. The creature was formally measured on 22 March 2013 and smashed the previous record of 1281.8 metres held by a New Zealand school since September 2000. After the record was set, the snake was broken down to produce comfort toys for children and draft stoppers for residents.

‘Constable Mick’ the shire’s top citizen By Chris Brennan LEADING Senior Constable Mick Mears is no stranger to receiving accolades and awards for his decades of work as a youth resource officer with Victoria Police. But this still didn’t prepare him for the “shock” of being named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2014 Citizen of the Year on Australia Day at Rosebud. The 67-year-old veteran police officer is now into his 44th year with the force and has been based at Mornington since 1980 where he has dedicated himself to working with peninsula schools and young people. Affectionately known as Constable Mick, the former army reserve drummer has earned much praise for his work in recent years with the Police Drum Corps at Mornington Secondary College. In the seven years since its inception, the corps has grown in reputation and stature, performing at hundreds of events around the country and receiving countless commendations and awards, including the NAB Schools Impact Award and the Order of Australia Association best in show in Australia Day marches award. But his work with the band is just one of the many programs Leading Senior Constable Mears has been involved with. He is currently working with 10 youth programs across the peninsula. He said being named citizen of the year had come as a “huge surprise”. “I didn’t even know I had been nominated so it was a complete shock when I found out,” he said.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a couple of awards over the years but nothing like this. It’s a wonderful surprise and a great honour. “When you work with the community, you do it to help, not for awards. The work really is its own reward, so you never expect to receive an honour like this.” Leading Senior Constable Mears received his award at the shire’s Australia Day citizenship ceremony in Rosebud on Sunday, where more than 60 residents became Australian citizens. Also honoured at the ceremony was the shire’s 2014 Young Citizen of the Year, Timothy Thomaidis, while Hastings Community House won the award for Community Event of the Year for it’s World Record Snake Day. Mayor Antonella Celi said the awards aimed to honour the people and events that had made a significant contributions to the Mornington Peninsula community. “We are really very lucky to have such wonderful people and events that help make the Mornington Peninsula the special place that it is for all of our residents and visitors,” Cr Celi said. “These extraordinary citizens and the event have been nominated by members of our community because of their dedicated contribution to social and community development on the Mornington Peninsula. “The nominations for awards were of a very high standard, and it’s so pleasing that we are able to formally recognise the contributions of Mick, Timothy and the Hastings Community House World Record Snake Day with these awards.”

A new citizen at 90 years young NONAGENARIAN Donald Jackson took time away from his hobbies of using a computer flight simulator and writing books to become an Australian citizen on Australia Day. The former Royal Air Force fighter pilot, who moved from the United Kingdom to Australia in 1992, decided to become an Aussie last year. At his 90th birthday party he announced it to family and friends. “Citizenship is something I had thought about for a long time,� Mr Jackson said. “However, when my Australian-born wife Felicity and I decided to leave England in 1992 to settle at Red Hill, dual citizenship was not possible and my Yorkshire background remained too strong to change. “I have two sons in England and they, with their families, have visited us on several occasions, most recently for my 90th birthday last year. “We have been back a number of times, but long flights become more difficult with age and I decided after my last visit to England that it would be my last. “I have many friends and relatives here and others who visit from overseas, and I decided that, with dual citizenship now possible, it was the time to become a citizen of Australia.� Mr Jackson was born near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, to a family prominent in the textile industry. His forebears founded a mill at Skelmanthorpe in 1829. He intended to make his career in the family business but war intervened and at 18 he left school and joined the RAF, flying in squadrons over Italy, Yugoslavia, Burma, Thailand, Malaya and Singapore.

a while he was based in Khartoum, Sudan, and flew between Athens and Nairobi. “I enjoyed friendships with many Australian pilots and navigators during the war. I had ancestors in Victoria and knew about life in country Australia of the 1860s, so I was very interested to meet Australians,� Mr Jackson said. After the war he completed a degree in textile industries and joined the family textile business, which had many Australian customers including Myer Emporium and Anthony Hordern. In 1968, the family sold the business and, after staying for the handover, Mr Jackson decided to leave the industry and take an extended holiday to see

friends and family in Australia. He had been working with a friend who had designed innovative poultry processing equipment and while in Australia began to see possibilities for another career – selling and overseeing the installation of the equipment throughout the world. It was on a trip to see an Australian client that he met Felicity Barrett, who was to become his wife. They lived in England until 1992, when they moved to Australia and settled at Red Hill. Mr Jackson began his writing career, first penning a history of his family, The Jacksons of Skelmanthorpe, then a history of his wife’s mother’s family, which included a surgeon on the Second Fleet, which arrived at Sydney in 1790, two years after the First Fleet. Another ancestor was one of Melbourne’s first surgeons, and others became notable figures in early Australian history. The book, The Irish Orphan, was awarded first prize in the Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies’ Alexander Henderson Awards in 2001. A third book was about his wife’s father’s family, Banbury, Barley and Beer, a history of Melbourne’s early malting industry and motor car racing, was a place-getter in the awards in 2007. Mr Jackson is now writing his own memoir of a long, full and satisfying life. “I have followed the politics, business, economics and sport of this country for many years, and I am proud and honoured to be a citizen of Australia,� he said. “But there is one exception: when it comes to the cricket, I’ll still be supporting England.�

Chamber uncovers email sub-plot
Email stoush: Terry Kelly of Computers.Com claims he has been accused of wrongdoing by Western Port Chamber of Commerce. Picture: Cameron McCullough
By Cameron McCullough TWO of Western Port’s most prominent community groups have fallen out over claims of unauthorised use of an email database. Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which represents traders in Hastings, claims Western Port Oberon Association has violated the privacy of its members by using the email list. The controversy started on 16 January when a member of both organisations, Computers.Com owner Terry Kelly, sent a “test” email to Max Bryant, president of the Oberon association, as well as all members of the chamber. The test email was followed shortly by an email from Mr Bryant inviting chamber members to tours of the association’s submarine HMAS Otama as a way of increasing trader support for the proposed Victorian Maritime Centre at Hastings, where Otama will be the main attraction. It has been moored off Crib Point since May 2002 while the association finds a land base. In response to the email sent by Mr Kelly, chamber president Lisa Dixon sent an email to him stating “It has come to our attention that a circular email has been sent to all chamber members utilising an unauthorised contact list sent under the guise of a test email”. Ms Dixon told The News that Mr Bryant had asked the chamber for a copy of the database in December but had been refused because of privacy concerns.
She said the “test” email was a way of providing the chamber’s email list to the submarine association. “If the Oberon association wanted to invite our members for a tour, they should have sent the invite to us and let us send it out on their behalf,” Ms Dixon said. “We applaud and support the efforts of the Oberon association, but cannot condone the unauthorised use of our database. The only people who are allowed access to the email list are other members of the chamber.” Mr Bryant told The News he was always led to believe the Western Port Oberon Association was a member of the chamber, and provided as evidence a tax invoice from the chamber for “12 months membership: Western Port Chamber of Commerce”. Mr Kelly emailed Ms Dixon, denying any wrongdoing and claiming he had not misused the database, and that claims he had violated the Information Privacy Act were “very amusing”. “We originally got the email addresses from the chamber when they mistakenly sent out an email without ‘blind copying’ the addresses, so we could see all the recipients,” Mr Kelly said. “If anyone has breached the Privacy Act here, it is the chamber.” Mr Bryant claimed he was previously in possession of the email list and only forwarded the database to Mr Kelly after he had encountered problems with the list after changing operating systems on his computer. “So I sent it to Terry [Kelly] so he could see if there was anything wrong,” Mr Bryant said.
Asked about not going through the chamber, he said “I decided to do it direct because the message was not getting out [when made through the chamber executive], although some chamber members have visited the submarine. “It’s all gone sour because of this carry on.” Mr Bryant said Tourism Minister Louise Asher had said the submarine project was the town’s “key to financial viability”. “I can’t see why the chamber is not 200 per cent behind us as the traders are the ones who will benefit the most.” The dispute is odd given the close ties between the two organisations. Ms Dixon’s husband, Ken Ingersoll, is on the committee of both organisations, and they have worked closely, along with Western Port Tourism, to promote the region. The incident has seen Oberon association committee members questioning the chamber’s motives, with Mr Bryant and Mr Kelly suggesting this may be more of a power play over control of the submarine project than a dispute about email addressed. “They’re supposed to be helping us, not hindering us,” Mr Kelly said. “It would be nice if they gave us a helping hand to get us going.” For the chamber’s part, it is keen to put the incident behind it as a new marketing manager starts work. “All we ask is they [WPOA] desist from future use [of the email database]. We are looking for a fresh start, a new beginning,” Ms Dixon.

Age no barrier for charity teen MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s 2014 Young Citizen of the Year Timothy Thomaidis, right, is living proof age is no barrier when it comes to helping improve the lives others. Still only a teenager, having just completed year 12 at Mornington’s Padua College, Mr Thomaidis has taken a leadership role in efforts to help the people of East Timor. He became involved in an East Timor immersion program where he worked with children, conducted English classes and workshops, and established a highly successful handicraft
venture that generates much-needed incomes for Timorese families. The Canossa Timor-Leste Shop has fostered an international business partnership between Padua and the Canossian Educational and Vocational Training Centre in East Timor. Managed by Mr Thomaidis, the retail venture sells traditional handicrafts made by East Timorese women, with all proceeds going to helping Timor families. He has also assisted in the creation of an educational bilingual film, which helps English speakers learn basic
Tetum phrases and Tetum speakers learn basic English. At the same time as conducting his international charity work, Mr Thomaidis has also been busy helping out closer to home, acting in numerous student leadership roles at Padua including: Involvement with a reading workshop, where senior students assist year 7 students to develop reading skills. Assisting in the implementation of the student-run 2013 St Vincent de Paul Trivia Night Winter Appeal. Working with Ozanam Enterprises, which provides activities such as cook-
ing classes for people with intellectual disabilities. Taking part in Leap into Law workshop run by Victoria University. Acting as master of ceremonies at the successful public screening of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, a documentary aimed at raising awareness of the plight of asylum seekers. Coordinating “Are You OK” mental health awareness days. Mr Thomaidis was also vice-captain of Padua College last year, year 12 social justice captain, and a debating team member.

LETTERS Young views
Dixon defended
IN response to letters published by this paper including “Dixon should go” and “Sickening image” as well as the story two weeks ago about [Briars Ward] Cr [Andrew] Dixon, alongside a photo of him on holiday holding a pistol (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”, The News 14/12/14), I write to express my concern over the seemingly blatant disregard for civility and local democracy. For the record, I don’t necessarily support SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre] in Rosebud at all, let alone on the proposed foreshore location. My grievances over SPA relate to cost and, in my opinion, I think [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council finances could be better allocated to other projects across the entire peninsula. But regardless of any councillor’s position on SPA, for a local paper to seemingly begin to run a campaign against a councillor because of a certain position they have taken on one issue is quite juvenile. Our council, to put it bluntly, is a lot older than other councils in Victoria. We need to have young people involved in local government so they can advocate for policies affecting Gen X and Gen Y, including public transport, sport and leisure, and access to education. So let’s put aside our political allegiances for just one moment. Let’s encourage young people to run for council and play a role in our community. Joshua Sinclair, Somerville Editor: Joshua Sinclair was the Labor Party candidate for Flinders in the November 2013 federal election which was won by sitting Liberal MP Greg Hunt.
DID anyone else read David Harrison’s article (“Antonella Celi should be first among equals”, The News 5/11/13)? He was actually suggesting that the democratic voting process be removed from the council chamber when electing [Mornington Peninsula] shire’s next mayor. Completely ludicrous. I applaud Cr Andrew Dixon in his defence of the integrity of the shire. He was, perhaps, a tad passionate in his responses. Should he be lambasted for being too passionate? Furthermore, I thought it strange that Mike Hast’s article (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”, The News 14/1/14) contained several wellconstructed quotes from Mr Harrison, while the only quotes from Cr Dixon came in carefully edited soundbites, delivered with very little context. Speaking of context: what does a photo of Cr Dixon holding a pistol have to do with the article? Torin Gallagher, Nollamara, WA

Wrong judgement I NOTE with interest that a Melbourne newspaper (20/1/14) has devoted its front page and an inside page to a story concerning the proposed erection of a monument by the City of Melbourne to the two Aboriginal men Tunnerminnerwail and Maulboybeenner (Bob and Jack) who were hanged in Melbourne for murder in 1842. One could question the justice of that sentence for a variety of reasons, but those who support the monument because the two men were supposedly “freedom fighters” are undoubtedly misguided. As Dr Marie Fels quite properly pointed out in this newspaper
Western Port News 28 January 2014
(“Hanged Aborigines not freedom fighters”, 17/7/12), the primary source documents for the events surrounding the two Aboriginal men are contained in a book published by the Public Record Office, 1842 –The Public Executions at Melbourne (1984). No topic has been so distorted or manipulated for political purposes than that of Aboriginal history and I suggest your readers consider very carefully before accepting ideological certitude as historical fact. Ruth Gooch, Hastings
Port threat to bay THE Port of Hastings Development Authority has rejected Bass Coast mayor Cr Neil Rankine and a professional environmental member of Bass Coast Shire’s staff as members of its “Porticipation” community consultation group. Without denigrating the credentials of the applicants who were successful, one has to wonder why those who are paid to represent our community were rejected on such spurious grounds as the board wanting to hear from “community members, the person in the street”. The Minister for Major Events and Tourism, Louise Asher, issued a news release that in Western Port was headlined “Tourism creates 5000 local jobs” and went on to state that, on a percentage basis – a massive 40 per cent – Phillip Island and Bass Coast has the highest dependency on tourism-based jobs for its economic welfare in the state. I won’t even mention how much towns like Tooradin and Koo Wee Rup rely on passing trade for their livelihoods. So now, yet another three questions: 1. If the [port] monstrosity goes ahead and wipes out those 5000 jobs,
what will be done to compensate those employers and business owners? 2. Why not use part of $110 million [from the state government] for the independent study requested in December by Bass Coast Shire into the economic impact of the port on Bass Coast and Phillip Island? 3. What about the authority providing an aerial photo of Western Port at dead low tide so we can see how much will have to be dredged to fit the 3000 a year 60,000-tonne monsters arriving in the bay? The high tide photo being used by the authority looks lovely but does not show the real situation. With 80 of the 110 test bore holes being made adjacent to the proposed terminal off Long Point, Hastings, it seems the authority has no intention of testing what increased tidal flows will do to low tide mudbanks at the top end from Yaringa to Lang Lang, including two marine national parks. The national park at the top of Western Port covers some of the most important recreational fishing and Ramsar international migratory bird roosting and feeding sites. If dredging damages mudbanks south of Tooradin and Warneet, the impact on Tooradin could be catastrophic, as they act as a natural barrier to existing problems. With 60 years of holidaying and fishing Western Port, with some of San Remo’s old fishing families as my initial mentors, plus a career-long involvement in a successful familyowned business, maybe I would qualify for “a berth” within the authority’s community consultation groups? Equally, perhaps that life-long experience is why I am so opposed to expanding the port and would not even think of applying. Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies
Award for surgeon BREAST cancer surgeon Belinda Jane Brown has received an OAM for “service to medicine”. One of Dr Brown’s patients was former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor and now Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley. Ms Graley had a mastectomy in 2008 and remains appreciative of her care and expertise. “Belinda is highly valued by the many hundreds of women who have been treated by her and I am sure they share in her joy that she is being acknowledged with the award,” Ms Graley said. “She always calls a spade a spade, but you are in no doubt that she will give her all to assisting you at one of the worst times in any woman’s life. “She is hardworking and compassionate and resolute in her fight to make sure her patients get the best treatment, including dealing with the tears. She handed me the tissue box and reached out to me with kindness and good advice. “Like others I will always be thankful.” Dr Brown, whose clinic is in Tanti Ave, Mornington, established a breast cancer service on the peninsula in 1992. Before working at Frankston Hospital, Peninsula Private and Monash Breast Screen in 1993, she was at Hull Royal Infirmary Hospital in the United Kingdom. She has been a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons since 1990 and was a foundation member of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand.
Fire bans in place across peninsula
Early warning: An example of what could be coming was graphically illustrated two weeks ago when fire quickly spread from Mornington Peninsula Freeway’s median strip to a wooded gully in Dromana, threatening homes and destroying the cafe at historic property Heronswood in Latrobe Parade. Picture: Yanni
NO fires can be lit in the open across the Mornington Peninsula or in Frankston as from Monday. The CFA last week declared the Fire Danger Period (FDP) for both municipalities and warned residents to be “fire ready”. French Island has also been included in the fire ban. During the danger period, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or the municipal fire prevention officer at Mornington Peninsula or Frankston councils. Anyone caught lighting a fire in the open without a permit faces fines of $17,000 and/or 12 months in jail. Barbecues and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces and not be used in winds exceeding 10km/h. The danger period was declared after the CFA assessed fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. A glimpse of what could occur was vividly demonstrated on Tuesday 14 January when a fire that started in the median strip of Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana ignited a thatched-roofed cafe at the historic Heronswood property. Police believe the fire, which had at least two ignition points, was deliberately lit. Firefighters were able to prevent the blaze reaching nearby homes. Police blocked the freeway and all surrounding roads as the blaze spread to an area known by local fireys as Wonga Gully, between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. “The CFA looks to the community to do the right thing by their family and neighbours, and follow the fire restrictions in place throughout the FDP,” the CFA’s southern metropolitan operations manager Trevor Owen said. “Fire restrictions are in place for a reason – to help prevent fires from starting. Preventing fires is something that every member of the community should see as their responsibility. “Last season Victoria had more than 4000 grass
and bushfires, and this summer we can expect similar conditions.” Mr Owen said Victoria was one of the most fireprone regions in the world, where just two weeks of hot, dry and windy weather could create dangerous fire conditions. “While we saw several bushfires last season, grassfires should not be underestimated. They travel faster than you can run and can kill,” he said. “Living in a grassland area with dried-out – brown or golden-coloured – grass that is more than 10 centimetres high is a significant risk to people, houses and infrastructure. “It’s not too late to protect your home and property by slashing, mowing, grazing and spraying grass. On larger properties, farms and farmlets, owners can create fuel breaks by grading or ploughing down to bare earth.” Mr Owen said farmers should also take precautions with haystacks, which could self-ignite in humid conditions. “Spontaneous combustion is the leading cause of haystack fires in Victoria. Stacks become dangerous when their temperature approaches about 70 degrees and can rapidly reach ignition point,” he said. “But while preparing your property is a good place to start, it’s just as important to prepare yourself and your family for fire. Before the fire season, sit down and talk to everyone you live with. Have a fire plan in place and, most importantly, practise it. “It’s up to you to check fire danger ratings every day in summer – these help you know when the conditions are dangerous enough to enact your fire plan. Remember that if you can see smoke, you’re leaving it too late. A fire that is kilometres away could be at your door in minutes.” For more information about preparing for the fire season, visit cfa.vic.gov.au or call 1800 240 667.

Chance for input to shire budget ANYONE with ideas on how Mornington Peninsula Shire should handle its spending or collection of money can put them forward next month at a meeting in Rosebud. The council is inviting input into the development of its 2014-15 annual budget. The current $1.9 billion budget includes nearly $132 million collected in rates and $12 million of new loans to cover the shire’s superannuation debt
$10.8 million) and speed up its pavilion upgrade program. “Council considers it important to offer this opportunity for the community to provide input for their ideas and priorities for consideration in the preparation of the draft budget, so that the budget continues to reflect the priorities identified by our community as well as providing ongoing service enhancements and infrastructure upgrades,” the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said.
Cr Celi said the shire’s annual budget provided programs, projects and initiatives in line with its four-year strategic plan. “The strategic plan 2013-17 has been developed by council based on extensive input from local communities through our Plan Peninsula community conversations as well as through the development of a number of master planning and service planning activities, which reflect feedback from the
community,” she said. “Council welcomes the community to provide their ideas and priorities for the coming year as council develops its draft budget for 2014-15,” she said. A meeting to hear submissions (in support of written submissions) will be held 4-6pm on 12 February at the council chambers in Besgrove St, Rosebud. Submissions can also be made online, by post or email. Registrations to make a verbal pres-
entation of a written submission can be emailed to budget@mornpen.vic.gov. au by 5pm on 10 February.

Family shattered by heartless theft By Chris Brennan A BITTERN family has been left “devastated” by the theft of irreplaceable photographs and jewellery from their home during a burglary over the Australia Day long weekend. The family’s residence in South Beach Rd was ransacked and numerous items stolen while they were away between Saturday and Monday. They returned home on Monday to find their car missing and pets let out. On entering their house, they discovered numerous items missing including a laptop computer, games consoles and jewellery. Mother of two Tammie-Lee said the laptop computer’s carry bag contained numerous memory sticks on which all their family and wedding pictures were stored. Most distressing of all was the theft of a number of items of jewellery that had been given to her by her deceased grandmother. “I’m completely devastated,” she said. “There were lots of things stolen but most of them can be replaced, except those photos of kids growing up, which are priceless to me, and the jewellery from my grandmother, which had no real monetary value to anyone but meant the world to me.” Neighbours told Tammie-Lee there had been two parties in the street attended by “teenagers” on the night of the burglary, one next door and the other three houses away. Her car was quickly located hidden behind bushes in a nearby street, but the keys to it as well as the house are still missing. “It was so upsetting to come home to discover this,” she said. “I was too scared to go inside and had to wait outside until the police
came. I was crying while my husband was telling me what was going on inside. “The whole house had been turned upside down. I felt so violated, and scared. All I want to do now is leave and find a new home.” While Tammie-Lee was resigned to having to replace all the stolen items and probably never being able to get back her photographs, she determined to do everything possible to get back her grandmother’s jewellery and is offering a $100 reward for their return. The items included a silver charm bracelet with a gold Egyptian charm and a flat-set wedding band containing three small sapphires and two diamonds, pictured above. Anyone who might be able to help find the jewellery can contact Tammie-Lee on mobile at 0437 615 178. Hastings police said they were investigating the burglary and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

New face of chamber: Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry has appointed of Angie Baker as its new marketing and promotions coordinator. A chamber spokeswman said Ms Baker has experience in business development and the organising of large-scale events, community festivals and corporate promotions for local government, not-for-profit and private organisations. “The growth and opportunity for Hastings is enormous; my main attraction to the role is to develop a long-term strategy for the people of Western Port and make for a more financially vibrant and safer precinct,” Ms Baker said.

Port and land grabs threat to beach THE fencing of Crown land by private property owners as well as environmental damage threatened by an expanded Port of Hastings are high on the list of concerns of Balnarring Beach Community Association. The list of concerns raised by 80 members at the association’s annual meeting also included claims that pre-election promises had yet to be met by the state government and Mornington Peninsula Shire. Incoming chairman David Gill promised to “keep a watchful overview of the direction of the foreshore policies” and expenditure of the association’s $350,000 budget. He said there was a need for “thoughtful revegetation works and a balance between the needs of residents and campers”. “The committee will be busy,” Mr Gill said.
He listed the association’s “concerns” as: proposed development of the Port of Hastings including the threat of an oil spill from bulk oil carriers, the export of Gippsland coal, truck movements, and large-scale dredging of “shallow Western Port”. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s vocal and monetary support for port development, “despite the obvious threats to the fishing and tourism industries”. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, “which often allows inappropriate developments to override local decision-making”. The fencing of Crown land, “which appears to be an increasing problem along the Victorian coastline, including Balnarring Beach”. The decline in the area’s koala population. Keith Platt The

Zoo’s new unit provides safety net for seals By Keith Platt AN emergency response team has been set up by Melbourne Zoo to help seals entangled in fishing lines, rope and nets. Announced mid-December, the team was in action two days into the new year, saving a young seal tangled in plastic box wrapping. Head of the AGL marine response unit Mark Keenan said the funding would enable a two-person team to operate seven days a week for six months. When announcing the unit, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it had the capacity to respond to hundreds of cases of marine mammal entanglement that occur each year in Victorian waters. Mr Keenan said the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Parks Victoria and the fisheries department provided vessels for his team to locate and treat seals. Wind or waves would often make it difficult to catch the animals and he relied on commercial dolphin swim operators to report sightings of entangled seals. Most seal entanglements were reported at Chinaman’s Hat, a seal resting place near Port Phillip’s South Channel off Portsea. Mr Keenan said on Wednesday that he and vets connected to the zoo had developed a good knowledge about seal behaviour and tried to assess an animal’s condition before heading out. “All entanglements are bad, but some need more urgent attention than others,” he said.
Caught and released: A young seal swimming around Chinaman’s Hat, right, after being freed from plastic wrapping by Melbourne Zoo’s marine response unit. Pictures: Jess Beckham and Melbourne Zoo
Difficulties arose when trying to “dart” and sedate seals from a moving vessel. It was easier if a seal – weighing up to 250 kilograms – stayed on Chinaman’s Hat. Problems arose if it took to the water. “We have had the unfortunate experience of losing a seal, but they will certainly die a prolonged and painful death if we don’t try to disentangle it; that’s the reality.” On 3 January the response unit went to Chinaman’s Hat after Troy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims reported a small seal with a “plastic necklace”. It took nearly two hours to dart and catch the seal before bringing
it on board the vessel and cutting the plastic. “We were very relieved for this little guy because his entanglement was caught early, before it could cause significant pain and scarring,” Mr Keenan said. Mr Smith said the unit “brings together keepers and veterinarians from Melbourne Zoo, using their expertise to respond to sick, injured and distressed mammals in Port Phillip and along the Victorian coastline”. “The introduction of the unit will ensure Victorians always have a number to call and an expert team to respond when our marine mammals are in trouble.”
Judy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims said the unit was “fantastic news”. In a letter to Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Ms Muir said “distressed seals, and occasionally dolphins, entangled in the debris carelessly disposed of by humans” were often sighted by the Polperro team. “The deaths following entanglement are agonising and unusually cruel. The animals die, often of starvation or infection over a very long period. It is unnecessarily cruel,” Ms Muir stated. “Help has been hard to access and though a lot of goodwill has been displayed by those with expertise and a passion to help, budgets always determine the degree to which help can
be offered. Now we can access help and expertise. “Polperro has worked closely with Melbourne Zoo over many years and the specialised marine mammal staff there have been able to offer occasional assistance on the water. It was often most effective, resulting in an animal being freed from entrapment. There was a need for more.” Ms Muir said Melbourne Aquarium had helped collect and rehabilitate sick and exhausted turtles found on peninsula beaches. To report sick or distressed marine wildlife, call the AGL Marine Response Unit on 0447 158 676.

Caravan batteries and chargers not all the same By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans A FEW problems we have come across lately are: People putting standard battery chargers into their caravans, which don’t recognise when the battery is fully charged and now only needs a trickle charge. The cheaper chargers will work okay for a flat battery on your car but are not suitable for a caravan that may be connected to power for a week or so. People changing to a selfsupporting unit by adding a battery and not removing the transformer from the caravan, thinking that it is a charger, and connecting it to the battery. The same problem exists where the transformer will continually charge the battery until it overheats and you will be lucky if it doesn’t explode. Adding another power point to the caravan and not realising that all caravans require a double pole power point and not the same one you can buy for your house. A double pole power point will probably set you back about $40, while the house variety is about $5. Remember, all electrical fittings must be installed by a qualified electrician and

a certificate of compliance completed for the work. The caravan manufacturer will already have certified all electrical work when it was built. Caravan 12 volt plugs come in various shapes and sizes ranging from a flat 7, flat 12, round 7, round 5, and NSW and Queensland sizes. Each has a standard for wiring, as do car sockets. Always ensure the units are wired as per the standard otherwise you may find that if you connect to another trailer, caravan or camper, the lights and
indicators may not work as intended, like the one I was following with the right-hand trailer indicator flashing when the car’s left-hand one was used. U-Tow Caravans can do all servicing for caravans and is qualified to test and tag electrical appliances. We have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock St, Somerville.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Multiple fires ravage the region; variety show comes to Frankston Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 January 1914 A FIRE, which threatened for a time to cause serious damage, occured at Rosebud on Sunday. The first outbreak occurred on Saturday afternoon, rapidly spreading toward Boneo and Cape Schanck, several places in its course being saved only by great exertions. The change of wind brought the fire back toward Rosebud. Early on Sunday morning it was threatening Mr Morals’ property, where it burnt his pig sty and did other damage. Later, it crossed the road into Mr Potion’s paddock, and aided by a fresh S.W. wind, made its way to the Point Nepean road, passing close to Mr Puttun’s house, and burning right up to the unoccupied house owned by Mr Adams, which, however, was saved. The danger was no sooner seen to be over at this point than a fresh burst of flame approaching from a point further west, once more threatened Mr Potton’s dwelling, which again escaped, though the flames approached too close to be pleasant. The burning of a fire break along the Jetty road to prevent a possible change of wind carrying the fire to the west caused the house occupied by Mr Chilton to be in danger for a while, but once again, the flames stopped when almost within reach of their prey. A large number of people, both residents and visitors, were engaged in fighting the flames, which several times set fire to the grass and scrub on the seaward side of the Point Nepean
road. Several house-holders either removed, or prepared to remove, their portable property when the danger was at its greatest but, luckily, nothing more valuable than fencing was burnt, and several falls of rain have since effectually quenched the outbreak. *** A SERIOUS bush and grass fire occurred on Mount Eliza on Saturday last. The fire started at Rowans Gully, and before it was checked, great damage had been done to grass and fencing on the properties of Messrs Walker Bros, Moseley, J. Smith, Fulton, L. Davey and Ansell. Orchard and cultivation paddock fences were destroyed, with the result that the cattle wandered at will, and finished the damage commenced by the fire. It was only by very strenuous efforts on the part of a body of fire-fighters that several of the homesteads were saved. *** ON Thursday evening next, 5th February, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, Mr G. W. and Madame Maude Heller, well known mystifiers and entertainers, assisted by first-class artists, will make their first appearance. Mr Heller is a mystifier and laugh maker; Madame Maude Heller, clairvoyant; the Orpheus Trio, vocalists and instrumentalists; Miss Helen Gordon, dramatic soprano; Sisters Litherland, vocalists and duettists; and Mr Will Fairbank, comedian. These entertainments are described by the press as being refined, interesting and unique. *** TENDERS are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and
metalling the Point Nepean road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the Country Roads Board.
Tenders are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and metalling the Point Nepean road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the County Roads Board. *** MR and Mrs Hugh Robertson, who travelled to England for their honeymoon, returned to Melbourne on Monday. Their many Frankston friends will be pleased to see them back amongst them again. Mr and Mrs H. Collins, of “Gracehill” Frankston, are shortly leaving on a nine months’ trip to the old country. We wish them a pleasant journey and a safe return. *** MRS Jean White (matron Melbourne Boys’ Seaside Home, Frankston) desires to thank Mrs J. Guumes
for jellies, and Mrs M. Jacobs for box of sweets, donated to the Boys Xmas Treat, their names having been inadvertently omitted from the list of donations. *** MISS McDonald, late of Talbot, has been appointed by the Education Department to take charge of the Moorooduc State School. Miss J. A. Morris, formerly head teacher, who underwent an operation for appendicitis, at Dr Moote’s private hospital, is, we are pleased to state, convalescent. *** THE Dromana Sports Club annual meeting is advertised to take place on St Patrick’s Day (17th March). The programme is a good one (see advertisement) and embraces horse and pony races, foot running, &c., for which liberal prizes are offered. Entries close 7th of March. *** OUR readers are requested to bear in mind the bazaar which is advertised to he held in the Somerville Show Shed and Grounds on Friday and Saturday next, under the auspices of the Fruitgrowers’ Ladies’ Guild. A Parliamentary contingent will start the ball rolling at 3 o’clock on Friday afternoon, and from then to the closing of the bazaar, the ladies anticipate a busy time. The proceeds are to go towards paying for the show ground. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the annual general meeting of the Westernport Progress Association will be held at the Hastings Hall, on Thursday February 12th at 8 p.m. All interested whether members or not, are invited
to attend. A most interesting report of the large amount of work done during the past year will be submitted for consideration by the meeting. *** A GARDEN Fete will be held in the Convent Grounds, Mornington, to liquidate the debt on the Central Novitiate, Ascot Vale. The Fete will be a opened on Wednesday, 4th February, at 3 p.m. by His Grace the Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Carr) and His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Mannix), and will be continued till Saturday evening, the 7th February. St. Augustine’s Band of 30 performers will be in attendance on opening day (Wednesday). *** SNAKES have been very prevalent in the Langwarrin district this season due, it is said by one keen nature student, to the wanton destruction of the blue-tongued lizard. This harmless reptile, it appears, consumes the same kind of food as the snakes, and his destruction enables the snake to obtain his food easier and when food is plentiful the species increase. They have been most frequent where the land has been fallowed and left without harrowing. One neighbour turned up six on one acre. They have been found in water holes and shallow wells. One dropped down a shallow well on Mrs Saunders’ property, and an attempt to charm the reptile out was made by Miss and Master Saunders. Lured by the invigorating strains of an accordion played by Miss Saunders, the reptile rose twice to the surface of the water and was twice wounded by gunshots aimed by Master Saunders.

Evolution of the resolution By Stuart McCullough ANOTHER year is now firmly upon us. Granted, it will take me at least another six weeks before I start denoting the date with a 14 instead of a 13, but I’ll eventually get used to it. It’s a strange habit, but as the old calendar is replaced by the new, people make rash declarations about the year ahead that range from the well meaning to the hopelessly misguided. It’s easy to dismiss them as the inevitable result of a celebration where sobriety is generally the first casualty. But in the spirit of turning over a new leaf, then turning it over again because I preferred it the way it was, I have decided to make some new year’s resolutions of my own. But before I make a series of hasty promises to myself that I’m unlikely to keep, it’s worth asking the big question: what does 2014 actually mean? In a strict sense, it means that the earth has rotated around the sun more than 2000 times since the Gregorian calendar first recorded time as “Anno Domini”, symbolised as AD. The term Anno Domini does not – as some mistakenly believe – stand for “after death”. Roughly translated from Latin, it actually means “I feel like chicken tonight”. It must be said that 2000 odd trips around the sun is something of an achievement, to say nothing of the kind of frequent flyer points our planet must have accumulated. But after that many trips around the block, our planet knows well enough that not all years are the same. Some arrive with a reputation. For
instance, the year 2012 was somewhat cruelled by claims that the world would come to a screeching, shuddering halt. The source of this woefully inaccurate tip was said to be the ancient Mayans whose calendar only went up to the year 2012. To capitalise on the threat of impending doom, Hollywood produced a movie, creatively entitled 2012, about the end of the
world. It was a film so bad that, as an alternative to watching the movie, the end of the world seemed pretty appealing. To date, no one has threatened to make a movie about 2014 AD. This, it must be said, should be regarded as a positive sign. So what should my resolution be? For starters, I think it’s worth avoiding anything unrealistic, even if this
means letting go of some of my longheld ambitions. For that reason, it’s time to surrender the dream of ever getting to sing All My Loving as a fully fledged member of the Johnny Young Talent Team (as per its original incarnation and not the resuscitated “Gleelight” monstrosity). My quest to invent an eight-day week, resulting in a permanent threeday weekend, will now be left to wither on the vine. Sunday will now never be followed by Funday. The less said about my mission to translate the works of Shakespeare into Klingon the better. (“To be or not to be” is all well and good for conventional types, but “taH pagh taHbe” has a real ring to it. I’m almost certain that the Bard would have been a Star Trek fan.) So what should I resolve? Conventional resolutions take the form of eating better, losing weight and spending time with family. I have nothing against any of those things, but they’re hardly very imaginative. In fact, all kinds of claims of selfimprovement are made when staring down the barrel of a new year. Finances, diet and kindness are common subjects also. I’m torn. On the one hand, I want to avoid being predictable and for my objectives to have a little glamour about them. But I’m desperate to avoid being so unrealistic as to be utterly delusional. There’s no point waiting – the time has come to declare my hand. So here’s my resolution for the new year: I will not become embroiled in an armed skirmish in the Baltic states.
Just to be clear, that’s without exception and even if provoked. I also declare that I will not attempt to land a manned space mission on the planet Mars without first seeking permission from the intergalactic overlords that currently rule the red planet with a green but ultimately iron-like fist. If that doesn’t sound like enough, then finally there’s this: I sincerely promise to stop writing weekly letters to Johnny Young to plead my case for a mature age entry scheme to his talent school. This will come as a relief not only to Johnny but also to my wife who, I think, is tiring from my insistence that I sew sequins on all my clothes. I’m quietly confident that I’ll fulfil my resolutions. Truth be told, I very much doubt that it will even be a close-run thing. I suppose it’s easy enough to ridicule those who go out of their way to make a new year’s resolution, but there’s something nice about it. In fact, it’s kind of inspiring. The declaration that, in future, we will do things a little better says much about the inherently optimistic nature of human beings. We want to improve because we always think we can. The heralding of a new year is as much about farewelling the old and, for me, I won’t miss 2013 much. That’s not because I was drawn into a Balkan conflict or that I resent not getting a reply from Johnny Young. It’s more that I always think I can do better. Best wishes for 2014. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Kangas claim big scalp, now third PROVINCIAL By IT Gully LANGWARRIN has moved to outright fourth on the MPCA Provincial ladder after beating Baxter on Saturday. The Kangaroos have joined third placed Long Island on 72 points, a game clear of Baxter and Mt Eliza, who now hold fifth and sixth place respectively on the ladder. It was an important win for the visitors, who had failed to claim a big scalp this season. In tough tests prior to Christmas, Langwarrin failed to beat both Sorrento and Mornington. However, on Saturday, they were able to defend the 8/301 they set on the first week of the match. The Kangas didn’t have things all their own way. A 107-run partnership between Daniel Warwick and Dean Sterry took the Baxter score from 2/24 to 3/131, getting the home side back in the contest. Warwick was eventually claimed by Matt Davie for 86, while Sterry was stumped by Danny Weare off the bowling of Dwayne Doig for 38. Baxter then slumped to 7/155 before the tail offered some resistance. Ben Smith stood strong at the end with a good half century, finishing not out 50. Baxter was eventually all out for 236, the last two batsmen falling victim to Matt Prosser. Davie was the pick of the bowlers yet again for Langwarrin, claiming 4/54 to give him 21 wickets for the season. Doig finished with 2/79 from 31 overs and Prosser claimed 2/52. Mt Eliza beat Crib Point as expected. But it wasn’t the pace attack that upset the Magpies, it was the unlikely Jason Mathers who caused the damage, snaring a sensational 6/4 from nine overs. In a cut-throat contest where the result was vital, the Mounties were able to bowl the Magpies out for just 110 in 46 overs.
It is going to be extremely hard now for the Magpies to make the finals, while Mt Eliza is just a game outside the top bracket. The Pies got away to a reasonable start, Henry Dolphin and Matt Blake scoring 28 and 22 respectively. They put on 51 for the opening stand. However, things turned pear-shaped after Blake was dismissed. Crib Point went from 0/51 to 7/85. Tom Baron helped himself to 2/35 while opening bowlers Sam Creffield and Justin Savio took a wicket each. Long Island had little trouble disposing of Rye. The Islanders were just eight wickets away from victory when play resumed and took little time to wrap things up. Rye was all out for 91, Ben Ashworth (25) and Aaron Fiddes (24) the only two batsmen to score double figures for the Demons. Scott Phillips snared four wickets for the Islanders, while Chris Hocking and Greg Lamb picked up a couple each. Peninsula Old Boys easily got the 187 runs needed for victory against Moorooduc. The Old Boys had a number of batsmen who were prepared to get into partnerships and the result was 261 runs in 69 overs. Brandon Lawler scored 59 at the top of the innings to be the best of the Old Boys batsmen, while Wade Pelzer (45), Jon Forrest (29) and Glenn Prendergast (24) all contributed to the scoreboard. Brayden Gleeson was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 5/43 from nine overs. Mornington went for the outright victory against Mt Martha but couldn’t get the result. After scoring 271 themselves, the Dogs bowled Mt Martha out for 112 in 46 overs. With a further 34 overs left in the match, the Doggies went for the outright. Stumps were pulled after 26 overs with the Reds offering plenty of resistance and finishing on 3/62.
Back in the mix: Hastings managed to finish off Ballam Park at the weekend in their District match and keep their finals hopes alive after bowling out the opposition for 73 and 83 the previous weekend. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Upsets leave District wide open DISTRICT By IT Gully THE MPCA District cricket season has been thrown a curve ball after the results of Round 8. The final four is far from settled after some upsets and a couple of outright victories on the weekend. Seaford Tigers throwing away a golden opportunity against Somerville has opened the door for another five teams to make the finals. The Tigers were chasing just 97 for victory against the Eagles but fell seven runs short, bowled out for 90. A win for the Tigers would have given them a 16-point buffer over Main Ridge and Hastings. The Blues have shot back into contention after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park. Baden Powell is also back in the mix after picking-up an outright win against Seaford. However, it was Seaford Tigers who coughed up a massive opportunity to shoot clear on the ladder. After bowling out the visitors for just 90 in 60 overs, the Tigers had a golden opportunity to grab the initiative.
They were resuming at 4/22 but had Corey Hand and Ash Mills ready in the sheds to come out to bat. It made little difference with Mills out for 11 and Hand 10. When Hand was dismissed, the Tigers were 7/70. David James offered some resistance and scored 15 but he was trapped in front by Aaron Kaddatz and the Tigers were all out for 90. In unbelievable circumstance, the Tigers were given the opportunity for a reverse outright. Somerville batted again and was bowled out for 64. Sam Delaney probably saved the game for the Eagles with 40 off his own bat. Needing 72 for victory off 12 overs, the Tigers had a fair crack at it but could only manage 48 runs. They lost six wickets in the process. Kaddatz finished with six wickets for the match, while Russell Wilkes claimed four. Corey Hand snared 4/19 in Somerville’s first inning and 6/16 in the second. Hastings is right back in the mix after scoring an outright win against Ballam Park.
After making 9/240, the Blues then bowled out the Knights for 73 and 83. When play resumed on Saturday, Hastings needed to take another 15 wickets. Ballam Park was only able to add a further 18 runs to its overnight score of 5/55, Isuru Dias getting 5/20 and Mitchell Floyd taking 3/24. The Blues sent the visitors straight back into bat and things were only marginally better for them the second time around – they scored an additional 10 runs. This time it was Luke Hewitt who did the damage with the ball, helping himself to 5/12 from 9.2 overs. Ben King claimed 2/17 from 10 to help the Blues to victory. Michael Casey was the Knights’ top scorer in the second innings with 23. Matty Roach made just three after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings. Pines had little trouble knocking over Boneo. Defending 278, Pines always had the upper hand to win the match. Boneo was bowled out for just 137, Leigh Lowry top scoring with 33, while Chris Jobling at the other end of
the batting card scoring 22. Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the Piners bowlers with 3/40 from 13 overs, while Jake Prosser (2/6), Pat Jackson (2/25) and Brett Hudgson (2/34) all contributed to the win. Delacombe Park cruised to victory against Flinders. The Parkers had 9/198 on the board and certainly had the bowlers to be able to defend that total. It proved to be the case, Flinders rolled for just 136. Dwayne Field, after snaring 2/53 with the ball, backed up with the bat and top scored with 30 for Flinders, while Tom Clements was next best with 28. Shane Deal picked up 3/23 to be the best of the Parkers’ bowlers, while Chris Brittain added 3/31 to his 32 with the bat. Baden Powell is also mathematically back in the finals hunt after beating Seaford outright. Still 16 points outside of the top four, things would have to fall the Braves way for them to make it, whilst they need to find some more consistency themselves to challenge. On Saturday, their bowlers were at their best.
The game was in the balance when play resumed. Seaford had made 120 on day one and Baden Powell was resuming at 6/96. However, the Braves got to 123 before losing another wicket and immediately sent Seaford back into bat. They rolled Seaford for 134 and needed 130-odd themselves with 18 overs left to play. Rhys Elmi added 56 to his 39 in the first innings to steer the ship to victory. The Braves got the runs with four overs to spare. Main Ridge slumped from an overnight score of 2/57 to be all out for 121 to lose their match against Carrum. Carrum was defending just 162 for victory and eventually cruised to victory. Brad Rossborough was the first to go for the day after just four runs had been added, before wickets consistently tumbled after that. Travis Barker top scored with 26, batting at seven. Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson were both superb. After relatively quiet seasons to date for the teenagers, Fry (5/31) and Dobson (5/55) dominated the Ridge batsmen.

Tooters still in the finals hunt after win SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK is in the finals hunt after beating PEARCEDALE in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday. After scoring 205 in their first innings, the Tooters needed to be at their best with the ball to win the game. For the winner of the match, it meant a one-game buffer over the other and a position just outside the top four. There were stages throughout the match when it appeared Pearcedale was going to get the 206 needed for victory. However, Zac Stevenson, Luke Thompson and Mathew Whelen really took on the challenge of bowling their side to victory. They were superb, Whelan claiming four wickets and Stevenson and Thompson three each. Mitch Andrew top scored for the Panthers with 60 and Shayne Gillings and Stefan Bock each contributed 30 to the Pearcedale total. Skye has given itself plenty of confidence coming into final to beat top of the table Red Hill. Skye resumed at 8/69, chasing Skye’s first innings total of 173,
which they scored in 47 overs. The Hillmen tail did offer some resistance and added a further 53 runs to the total to get them to 122. Ken Sullivan, batting at 10, contributed 30 runs and Ross Corfield hit an unbeaten 18, batting at 11. Pat Clinch was the best of the Skye bowlers with 5/56, including the important wicket of Sullivan. Skye batted until stumps were finally drawn and finished at 9/121. Red Hill’s Luke Toy picked up 5/29 in the second innings. Rosebud held on to third place on the ladder with a 53-run victory against Dromana. The Buds were defending 268 and the Hoppers got off to a reasonable start in the chase. Mark Whitehead scored 23 at the top of the innings, Jay Hutchison scored 44 in only his second First XI game this season and Andrew Thomson scored 31. However, the Hoppers went from 1/70 to 4/72 and the game was pretty much over at that point. Jedd Savage came in and top scored with 53 and Steven Watsford hit 33 but the Rosebud bowlers were always in command.
Patrick Nagel continued his resurgence as a star of the competition, the Under 16 quick opening the bowling and claiming 4/30 from 21 overs. His ‘old man’ Jason claimed 3/83 from 32 overs and Brian Doughty finished with 3/33 from eight overs. Balnarring made light work of Carrum Downs. Balnarring set a monster total of 9/288 on week one of the match, Mark Walles top scoring with 66. The Cougars could only manage slightly less than half of the opposition’s score. Josh Harkness top scored for the Cougars with 40 and teenager Luke Broomhall was next best with 22. James Wisken was the pick of the Balnarring bowlers with 4/20. In the final game, Frankston YCW scored 279 in reply to Tyabb’s 191.

Lachy Hulme Lachy Hulme is everywhere at the moment, but most importantly, he`s here! A great supporter of PSFF having judged every year since its inauguration in 2011, Lachy has become one of the most respected character actors to hit our screens in recent years with compelling performances in Beaconsfield, Howzat, Power Games, The Hollowmen, and Offspring, and there`s a lot more in the pipeline. great to have him back.

She is undoubtedly one of the best actors working today and has won numerous awards, in fact she is one of only two women ever to win two AFI awards for different productions in the same year! Her Credits include Lantana, Bed of Roses, Seachange and of course Prisoner. We are thrilled to have her join our panel.
Shane Jacobson is one of Australia’s most loved award-winning actors, presenters and entertainers, having worked in radio, television, film and stage. His silver screen credits include Hollywood blockbuster The Bourne Legacy opposite Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, co-starring with Paul Hogan in Charlie and Boots, and of course Kenny, playing the title character and winning an AFI Award for Best Lead Actor in 2006, just to name a few.

Jane Hall is an incredibly versatile performer and has carved an impressive career in film TV and radio. She is probably best known for her feisty Rebecca in Neighbours, but has also starred in many other productions including The starter wife, Razzle Dazzle and The secret life of us. She can be heard daily on Mix Fm as half of the hugely popular Chrissy and Jane show. We are delighted to welcome her back this year.
Debra Byrne…. Ladies and gentlemen Miss Debra Byrne!! A true Icon of the Australian entertainment scene with a career spanning 4 decades and showing now signs of slowing down. Debra has literally done it all in showbiz , from theatre to TV to film and rock and roll, and now she is passing it all on to her lucky students at her new school “Born To perform”. Her credits are too many to list but watch out for her stunning portrayal of Judy Moran in Chanel 9`s Fat Tony soon.
