Mum’s brave ice forum storyONE of the speakers at the ice forum in Mornington last Tuesday was cheered and clapped long and hard for her bravery in telling a diffi cult story.

The forum – “What’s the real sto-ry with ice” – was organised by the churches and community group alli-ance Peninsula Voice, which has been

running a series of forums to tackle diffi cult topics such as family violence.

Peninsula Voice chair Peter Orton said Kerrie Knight, the Mornington mother of a 21-year-old daughter with an ice addiction who told her fam-ily’s harrowing story to more than 370 strangers, was a hero in the same vein as the peninsula’s family violence campaigner Rosie Batty, who had bared all in the national spotlight about

the death of her son Luke to make a change.

“Kerrie spoke for just four minutes but what she said had a profound ef-fect on audience members with a very powerful speech,” he said.

Ms Knight was the only “civilian” speaker of four, joining Victorian Po-lice Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana, Peninsula Health’s alcohol and other drugs manager Stephen

Bright, and Julie Rae of the Australian Drug Foundation.

Ms Knight told the audience she and her partner Mark had raised four children in Mornington. “My daughter Indya has battled with ice addiction for fi ve years. My story is not unique; in fact it is far too common.

“I would like to share my story in the hope that it may help other fami-lies learn from my experience, to help

families cope better with addiction,” she said.

Ms Knight said her daughter tried ice at age 16. “From that point, our fam-ily has endured suffering, anguish and sheer frustration. Indya is now 21 and is in a government-funded rehabilita-tion facility in Darwin. This is the sec-ond time she has been in a rehabilita-tion facility.”

Pier sails into historyPARKS Victoria gave Mornington’s “new” pier a soft launch on Saturday with an open invitation to the public to inspect the $15.3 million rebuild and enjoy a range of activities, in-cluding a fr4ee sausage sizzle.

Lending weigh to the historic event was the schooner Enterprize, a replica of the ship built in Hobart in 1830 and used fi ve years later by John Pascoe Fawkner to bring settlers and provi-sions to what is now Melbourne.

The Enterprize entered the Yarra River on 15 August 1835 and moored at what is now William St.

The original ship was wrecked in 1847 on a sand bar off the Richmond River in northern New South Wales.

On Saturday passengers embarked on hour-long trips on the replica Enterprize as an admiring public, and their dogs, once again promenaded along Mornington pier.

By late afternoon, the pier was again populated by anglers re-estab-lishing the best spots to cast their lines.See “Barbs on eve of pier opening” Page 7

New chum says helloWOMBAT Birri made his fi rst appearance at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, Pearcedale, on Wednesday – and immediately crossed his enclosure to introduce himself to females Sydney and Tara.The three-year-old hairy-nosed wombat was released by the federal government’s threatened species commissioner Gregory Andrews, above, who was visiting to explain the government’s threatened species program.Park director Michael Johnson said Birri, from Taronga Park Zoo, Sydney, was a “big boy” and sure to be a favourite among the park’s 60 species of native animals. It opened in 2001. Picture: Yanni

THE cost to the taxpayer of travel by the two fed-eral MPs who represent Frankston and the Morn-ington Peninsula is reasonably modest compared with some of their colleagues.

According to the latest available Department of Finance fi gures taxpayer-paid travelling expenses for the two MPs up to the end of December last year came to $249,249.

The department says the costs relate to 1 July-31 December 2014 and an unspecifi ed time be-fore 1 July 2014. Neither Mr Billson or Mr Hunt rated in the top 10 of MPs with the highest travel expenses.

The bill for Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, who is also Minister for Small Business, was $109,198 while in the neighbouring electorate of Flinders, Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s travel costs were $140,051.

Mr Billson took one ministerial overseas trip at a cost of $16,390.

He also claimed $7849 (domestic fl ights and Commonwealth car) for his family.

Mr Billson received a travelling allowance of $19,263 while Mr Hunt’s allowance came in at $20,503.

Mr Hunt went overseas twice in reported period at a cost of $41,952.

His family travel expenses came to $5267.Mr Hunt’s single biggest fl ight was a charter to

Moranbah, in central Queensland.That trip on 10 June 2014 took him over the

site of the contentious $16.5 billion dollar Carmi-chael open cut coal mining project.

The proposal by the Indian company Adani Mining hit the headlines last week when govern-

ment approval for the mine was set aside by the High Court after being presented with evidence of a bungle within Mr Hunt’s department which meant there were no provisions to protect the en-dangered yakka skink and ornamental snake.

When announcing approval of the mine in the month following his visit Mr Hunt stressed the remoteness of the area – “it is the deep outback; it is a sparsely vegetated area” – and that the mine would be subject to “some very, very strict condi-tions”.

The falling price of coal and last week’s an-nouncement by the Commonwealth bank of its withdrawal as Adani’s advisor may mean that the project’s “lifetime resource value of at least $300 billion” may stay in the ground.

Mr Hunt’s overseas trips were to Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Germany ($16,780) to attend the 65th meeting of the International Whaling Commission and “to conduct a series of high-level meetings”; and, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam ($25,172) “to conduct a series of high-level discussions regarding the Great Bar-rier Reef World Heritage Area”.

Mr Hunt’s other travel costs included $35,253 for scheduled domestic fl ights (mainly between Canberra and Melbourne or Sydney) and $37, 074 for cars ($6551 privately registered and $29, 612 Commonwealth cars). He also received a travelling allowance of $20,503.

Mr Billson went to Singapore and China ($16,390) to attend an APEC Small and Medium Enterprise ministerial meeting “and conduct a se-ries of other high-level meetings”.

His other travelling costs included $39,205 for scheduled domestic fl ights (to most states but mainly to Canberra and Sydney) and $21,593 for cars ($9166 privately registered and $14,725 Commonwealth cars).

A COMMEMORATIVE plaque awarded by Victoria Police to a Mt Martha man for helping with the 1988 Ty-Eyre Task Force was stolen in an overnight raid on Sunday 2 August.

The task force had been set up to investigate the ambush and shooting deaths of Steven Tynan and Damian Eyre in South Yarra in October of that year – an investigation that, at its height, involved hundreds of offi cers.

The 25cm plaque was one of many items stolen, including personal and business papers, bank PINs and state-ments, keepsakes including the man’s fi rst tax return from 1950, cards and mementoes of his 40 years at the Na-tional Australia Bank where he rose to be deputy chief executive, his wife’s medical fi les, and personal and fi nan-cial details of the estates of family members.

Lloyd Smith, 84, said he and his wife, slept through the 3am raid and heard nothing.

Mornington police believe the thieves broke into the garage of the house in Glynt Gardens estate, off Bay Rd, where they also stole golf clubs, electrical tools, $40 in coins, garage door remote control, and torch.

Entering through the laundry and into the kitchen with a plastic contain-er they rifl ed the man’s wallet and his wife’s purse stealing cash and credit cards and two mobile phones. In the home offi ce they ransacked draws and cupboards stealing an inscribed brief-case, laptop and the copious state-

Personal value: The Ty-Eyre plaque stolen in the raid was awarded to Lloyd Smith for helping police investigate the brutal slaying of two young constables.

ments and fi les – as well as body cor-porate records for the other properties in the estate.

Also taken were the military records of four uncles who served in World War I about whom the man is writing a family history.

Mr Smith, who has lived in Mt Mar-tha for 23 years, said he believed the burglars had earlier been unable to break in to his neighbour’s house with a jemmy bar.

“They must have walked around her place because two side gates were open and when they failed there they came to us,” he said.

“It was a windy night and we didn’t hear a thing. Next morning I saw papers strewn around the fl oor and couldn’t work it out. I thought, ‘That’s strange,’ and then realised what had happened.

“They seemed to have scooped up everything they could get their hands on with the thought of possibly going through it all later.”

Mr Smith said he felt “almost state-less now” and had spent the past week changing security numbers, passwords and locks.

On the same night, burglars attempt-ed to enter Bell's Gourmet Meats and Warlimont & Nutt Real Estate Agents, at the nearby Lochiel Av shops.

Police have released an image of a man they wish to speak to taken in the rear car park at 3am.

Detective Senior Constable Clayton Beckhouse is appealing to anyone with information to call Mornington CIU, 5970 4900, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

REAL Time Learning students at Mt Eliza Secondary College have been working with Mornington Men’s Shed members to build homes for micro-bats.

Teacher Narelle Debenham said mi-crobats –hibernating for winter – were an important part of the ecosystem. The bat range from being about the size of a 10 cent coin to that of a small mouse.

Microbats eat pest insects, including lawn grub moths, weevils, beetles, midges, fl ying termites and mosqui-tos.

But competition from birds, pos-sums and gliders, along with the clearing of many old trees, has meant

their habitat is scarce. Eleven year 7 students joined fi ve

shed members to make roosting box-es. Three will be placed in tall native trees along the Balcombe Creek trail running parallel with Century Drive, Mt Martha, one will be on a Landcare property owned by environmental naturalist Tony O'Connor, and another in the school grounds. They will all be in place for the bat breeding season in the spring.

To help injured wildlife call AWARE wildlife rescue, 0412 433 727. A pattern for bat nesting boxes is at backyard buddies.net.au/for-mam-mals or email [email protected]

FAMILY violence campaigner, Australian of the Year and peninsula resident Rosie Batty will sign copies of her new book in Mornington in early October, the fi rst signing following the biography’s release.

Rosie Batty: A Mother’s Story tells the harrowing story of her son Luke, who was killed by his father at cricket practice in Tyabb, a story known by most Australians, and what has happened in the 18 months since.

Ms Batty has become the national public face of family violence – before and after her selection as Australian of the Year – and galvanised public opinion behind a call for more to be done to combat a

rising tide of domestic confl ict.Publisher Harper Collins insisted

on the fi rst book signing being on the peninsula and asked Peninsula Voice to organise the event, which will be held at Peninsula Community Theatre on 8 October.

Peninsula Voice is a new alliance of peninsula churches and community support groups tackling family violence and other pressing social issues. Ms Batty was a keynote speaker at its family violence forum last September, also at a capacity-fi lled Peninsula Community Theatre.

Ms Batty will be interviewed by ABC radio presenter Jon Faine at the signing.

Peter Orton of Peninsula Voice said “Rosie has become an outspoken crusader against family violence, winning hearts and minds with her compassion, courage, grace and forgiveness. The event will be our chance to welcome Rosie back and share some stories of the roller coaster of the past 18 months.” Rosie Batty signs her book from 6.30-8.30pm, Thursday 8 October, Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Entry by donation. Places limited to 400 people. Book on 5975 5034 or www.facebook.com/FarrellsBookshop More info: [email protected] or www.farrells.com.au Mike Hast

MORNINGTON’S rebuilt pier opened to the public last Saturday with a Parks Victoria sausage sizzle but on the eve of the event local Liberal MP David Morris couldn’t resist throwing a few barbs at the state government.

Mr Morris successfully lobbied his government for pier money, and the Liberal-Nationals Coalition set aside about $15 million in May 2012 to re-construct the outer section, which was closed in August 2010 after a series of storms.

Mr Morris also had a shot at the pre-

vious government in late 2013.Last Thursday he issued a statement

saying the former Coalition govern-ment’s $15.3 million reconstruction of the Mornington pier was a good out-come.

“The pier had been in poor condition for too many years. The Brumby [La-bor] government bungled the rebuild-ing of the inner section, running out of money before wave screens could be fi tted, leaving the harbour badly ex-posed in all but the mildest of weath-er,” he said.

“Worse still ... most of the pier was left marooned and inaccessible, its eventual collapse inevitable.”

Mr Morris said he had “lobbied hard for funding to rebuild the whole pier, not just a short length left by Labor, and to fi t wave screens along the en-tire outer face” after the Coalition won government in 2010.

“The reconstruction, with modern materials and techniques, will ensure the pier will be here not just for 10 or 20 years, but for generations to come,” he said.

The Mornington MP congratulated Carrum Downs-based contractor K V Johnson Constructions, and Parks Vic-toria “on the successful completion of a great project”.

The previous Labor government spent $3.5 million on the middle, 53-metre section of the pier in 2010-11.

The government’s Minister for Ports Luke Donnellan said more than two million people visited “this iconic pier each year, and this upgrade will ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors,

as well as local boaters and fi shers for years to come”.

“The project is good for locals, visi-tors and the tourism industry, and it’s fantastic to mark its completion,” he said.

The new section has added six me-tres to the length with the pier now 137 metres long. The new structure is half-concrete and half-steel with the outside concrete half designed to withstand the biggest storms.

KINKY BOOTS 2016Expressions of interest sought

By David Quinn*THIS month marks 40 years since Prime Minister Gough Whitlam ran soil through the hands of Vincent Lin-giari stating: “I want to acknowledge that we Australians still have much to do to redress the injustice and op-pression that has for so long been the lot of Black Australians”. Whitlam then added: “This land will be the possession of you and your children forever.”

In reply, with trust implicit in Whit-lam’s pledge, the softly-spoken elder decreed: “Now we can all be mates”.

It is now August 2015 and the ques-tion is raised - are we mates? Have we fulfi lled the promise of optimism and hope that were so evident in Vincent Lingiari’s words?

There are two groups of primary school-aged children, separated by four thousand kilometres of red dust and eucalypts, who defi nitely are mates. They are children who have learned to respect each other’s upbringing and outlook on life. Who appreciate that it is OK to be different and that it is important to be non-judgemental. Who have an optimistic sense for the future and would want what is best for each other.

These children call themselves Wugubank. One group belongs to Penbank, an independent primary school at Moorooduc. This school, like many others, espouses tolerance, kindness and an appreciation of the natural environment. It is a school where children are challenged in their thinking to be inclusive of all, and to be grateful for the beautiful country in which they are privileged to live.

People are valued, no matter what their nationality, race or colour. But none more so than their friends in the second group, who just happen to be fi rst Australians from the Wugularr School in the Northern Territory.

Some time ago, Penbank’s head of campus envisioned a more authentic educative approach to our chil-dren’s learning and understanding of indigenous culture. A conversation began with leaders from the Wugularr community in western Arnhem Land, considered to be remote, 90 minutes south-east of Katherine.

From this conversation an idea was born to bring a group of indigenous kids to the Mornington Peninsula for a week. Although this initial trip brought signifi cant challenges, not the least being the cold southern weather, it was obvious that the experiences shared between the children were inspirational.

A return visit by the Penbank children to the Top End was a “non-

negotiable”; it had to be undertaken.The school has now completed

six such visits. Each sojourn grows in stature and enjoyment. The two communities, thousands of kilome-tres apart, openly offer their hearts and homes to the visitors from afar. Shared experiences have led to strong bonds of friendship, for children and adults. It is a cherished, trusting relationship.

Over the past fortnight, 44 of Penbank’s years 5 and 6 pupils, along with adult helpers, engaged in the routines and delights of community life in the Northern Territory.

Corroborees were danced and there was group singing at the community’s Walking With Spirits music festival, swimming and fi shing in the Water-house River. Elders explained rock art and dreamtime stories associated with various animals and artefacts, there was a cruise on the Katherine River at Nitmiluk which helped explain the importance of the landscape to the Jawoyn people.

When it came time to say “boh, boh” (farewell) the Penbank pupils re-fl ected on what they had experienced and learned. Apart from the obvious fun that was had, deeper emotions of understanding and sadness emerged. We saw fi rst-hand how these people are so connected to their land, their country. It is pivotal to their feel-ing of self-worth, their identity. We witnessed the strength of family ties, particularly at corroboree where we

saw inter-generational participation. Our children said they had learned

the importance of “sharing, not hav-ing”. We obtained a glimpse of the very deep understanding that our fi rst Australians have of the unfolding of the seasons and the signs of life and growth that accompany each change. We learned how to look for and fi nd bush tucker, how to wash ourselves with bush soap and how to stuff our pillows with bush cotton! We were made acutely aware how crucial it is to listen to your elders and heed their advice. Indigenous culture decrees that it is not about “me and my”, it is about “we and us”.

But most of all we learned that these children are our friends, and always will be.

Children thirst for knowledge. They also delight in imaginative creativity. From our indigenous friends we learn how these aspects are combined in the power, wonder and magic of story-telling. Their law tells them the right way to live. It teaches them discipline, how to live peacefully and how to care for the land. If the land is looked after properly, the land will feed and protect them. How to live in harmony.

We now wish to fi nd out more of this amazing culture. Who are the indigenous heroes? What tales of exploration and endeavour can be told from past millennia. How is it that rock art drawings in Arnhem Land accurately depict the thylacine (Tas-manian tiger)? Our children loved the

open expression of creativity through dance, movement and song. We were enthralled with the pure beauty of the country. Most of all, we were charmed by the warmth so obviously displayed in the gatherings of the people.

As educators involved in such a positive, potentially life-changing pro-gram for young people, what to make of the furore involving Adam Goodes on our return to Melbourne?

Instinctively, a fi rst response is that it just not fair, or kind, to treat any person in such a manner.

If the core of the issue is related to deep-seated, subconscious feelings of racism, then the saddening reality is that we have a major problem.

It falls to our leaders, of all pursuits, to engage in re-imagining how we view indigenous culture; what do we truly know of it and what appreciation do we have. No doubt, education will be a key in transforming viewpoints and understandings. But it must be informed with, and by, indigenous voices.

By example, our fi rst Australians belong to the oldest, living continu-ous culture on Earth. In a time when the United States’ President Obama is declaring that climate change is the greatest challenge that our planet faces, it is worth noting that our fi rst peoples have lived through, and sur-vived, catastrophic climate change in the past 10,000 years. Would it not be ironic if we eventually turned to our indigenous elders to seek advice as to how to survive the next catastrophe?

There is a view that we are what we teach our children. If that is the case, let’s hope that the children are right in their thinking – that they have a positive mindset for the future and are informed, non-judgemental and ap-preciative of the wonder of the world that surrounds them.

In our minds, indigenous culture is a life force which should be celebrated, praised and looked upon with im-mense pride. There is so much that we can learn from our friends.

At Penbank we look upon our expe-riences with the Wugubank partner-ship as a pebble being dropped into the calm waters of a pond. The ripple effect of that pebble being dropped is resonating through our whole school community.

Our children are inspiring their im-mediate and extended families to learn more of their friends’ way of life; to appreciate and embrace a civilisation like no other.

In our endeavours we are not try-ing to change the world. We see our efforts as but one small action in the process that we hope will lead to authentic reconciliation. Above all, hopefully with Vincent Lingiari’s blessings, we are mates and will con-tinue to be so.

We can say, with surety, that our children at Penbank would never boo an indigenous Australian.

MT ELIZA Lions Club members have praised Mt Eliza’s Emma Wiggins for completing her gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. The Toorak Col-lege student represented them in the national fi nals of the Lions Youth of the Year quest.

“This is the highest level of the award which is outstanding and we congratulate Emma on her achieve-ment,” treasurer Ian Davey said.

“We are even more pleased to be able to recommend Emma for the ADF Long Tan Youth Leadership and Teamwork Award. We hope she is successful.”

This leadership and teamwork award recognises youth who are able to maintain top school marks while demonstrating leadership and teamwork in their school life and community. It was named after a bat-

tle between Viet Cong soldiers and a vastly outnumbered Australian force during the Vietnam confl ict.

Emma – who also won the public speaking section of the Youth of the Year quest – was selected as part of the Lions International’s “Engaging Our Youth” policy as it heads towards it centenary celebrations in 2017.

In another Lions’ youth engagement last week, Mt Eliza charter member Dennis Cleary presented a cheque to pay for vests and badges worn by Mt Eliza Primary School’s grade 6 First Tear Mediators when handling play-ground friendship issues at their school.

“This is a highly worthwhile activ-ity for these young students, giving them the opportunity for personal growth and responsibility”, Mr Cleary said. “The Lions club will continue to support this project in years to come.”

Easy does it: Mt Eliza Lion Dennis Cleary presents Mt Eliza pupils with their First Tear Mediation vests.

AS head of economic development at Mornington Peninsula Shire, Shane Murphy assisted in the establishment of many industry bodies on the peninsula.

One was the Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance, a body formed to promote the peninsula’s growing marine sector.

When Mr Murphy was made redundant in March, he was soon picked up by the alliance to spearhead the group as executive offi cer.

“I was delighted to get the role,” Mr Murphy said.

“Peninsula marine industries are a major factor in our economy, and with the council adopting the Marine Precincts Strategy, the alliance will work closely with the shire to ensure the industry’s great potential is achieved. The partnership will lead to more jobs.

“The member-based alliance serves a multi-faceted sector, which comprises world-class boat builders, marinas, yacht clubs, marine equipment manufacturers, transport and boat services. The businesses are professional and dedicated to being the best in their fi eld to ensure the marine sector grows responsibly and sustainably.”

Mr Murphy highlighted the continued strong growth in demand of boat ownership and the need for better local marine infrastructure.

“Improving and increasing the number of boat ramps and creating more boat storage are some of the keys to meeting consumer demand and so creating more job opportunities,” he said.

“Creating more jobs in a highly competitive global economy is a challenge for all governments and businesses, and we cannot ignore this opportunity.”

The peninsula is home to marine businesses that export products and services nationally and internationally. The shire also attracts many tourists and visitors who participate in marine pursuits.

“We are a hub for an incredible range of marine activities,” Mr Murphy said.

“Our marine businesses allow people to enjoy and appreciate the

wonders of the region in a safe and sustainable manner. Marine businesses respect the natural environment and they want everyone to be able to enjoy the environment. The marine sector is a natural fi t for our region.”

Mr Murphy will be representing the marine industry to federal and state governments, industry organisations, and his former colleagues at the shire with the aim of making the peninsula the pre-eminent recreational and commercial marine centre for Victoria.

PADUA College students, parents and a company’s generosity have helped raised for an orphanage in East Timor where 100 girls are cared for by Salesian nuns.

The college’s Tyabb campus raised $619 and the other campuses $2030 for the St Dominic Savio Orphanage which was then doubled by Didasko Learning Resources, taking the total to $5530.

Parent Andrew Hall, who works at Didasko, was so inspired by the stories that daughter Grace and other students brought back from their trip to East Timor that he and his work-mates organised a marathon along the Great Ocean Rd. The company then offered to double whatever the students raised.

East Timor’s social justice organi-sation, which relies on donations to

exist, is visited by students who see its activities fi rsthand.

Grace, who is in the Padua College Catholic Action Program class, visited East Timor late last year with Felix Adsett, and other selected students, and Padua staff members Michael Harrison and Bern Young. Felix and Grace went to Padua’s Rosebud cam-pus for years 7-10 and are now in the senior campus for Year 12.

“We can have a signifi cant impact on the lives of the Timorese,” Grace said.

“We can share our fortune in so many ways, whether they are big or small, they will make a difference and they will change someone’s life.”

Classmates: Grace Hall becomes friends with students at St Dominic Savio

Orphanage, East Timor.

By David HarrisonTHE sound you can perhaps hear on the shire’s recording of its 27 July meeting is not what you might suspect. The ceiling of the Besgrove St council chamber was not about to collapse, nor was there a wee beastie in the room calling to its mate. And Council Watch hastens to assure readers that it was not a natural human sound – in fact, it was a creaking chair.

A councillor who shall remain name-less was gently rocking as proceedings proceeded, probably accustomed to a rocking chair by the fi reside, causing the rather fancy council seat’s torque spring to protest.

A neighbouring councillor, becom-ing aware of the sound and its source, silently left the chamber and returned with a pressurised can, possibly contain-ing a lubricant, which he applied to various parts of the offending chair’s undercarriage.

Alas, to no effect. But then arose a quiet chorus as several other councillors of a boyish disposition joined in. CW was located on an unrockable seat in the gallery, or the urge to participate might have been irresistible.

The creaky councillor fi nally swapped his delinquent chair for another. Prob-lem solved.

But this was not the only noise issue of the evening. Before getting to this event, CW will detour via Crib Point, where 200 small shire projects have been completed – a lick of paint, reno-vations, new street furniture and the like – at the admirably low cost of $50,000 under a “Placemaking” scheme.

Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock described it as a “brilliant initiative” for his parish. The shire “does stuff anyway” but works that

trickle out are not noticed, he said. Crib Point residents were thrilled with the newly painted signs, “activation” of empty shops as “art spaces” and general freshening-up of the township.

Shire offi cers described it as a “light-er, quicker, cheaper” approach that put no additional strain on the shire budget, falling as it does under the heading of maintenance. A further $350,000 was available for such projects, councillors were told, and further placemaking was contemplated across the shire.

The next agenda item listed contracts approved under delegation by CEO Carl Cowie. CW may not have noticed such an agenda item previously, innumerate as he is, but as an example of transpar-ency it was gratifying.

Contracts included demolition of the old Red Hill sports pavilion (cost: $43,181.42) by Chadwick Demolition, and refurbishment of the shire’s mobile library trailer (cost: $193,053.40) by JCS Fabrications. Former sporting combatants who scored a ton or booted a bag at Red Hill’s sloping oval might like a memento of the old pavilion, pos-sibly available at Chadwick’s Rosebud yard.

To ease the strain on his cheque-sign-ing arm, Mr Cowie can sub-delegate works approvals to selected offi cers. Managers can give a tick to jobs up to $100,000; directors can OK spending in various areas up to $200,000.

Now, back to noise. A short, lively uproar erupted during voting on the

delegation item.Cr Anne Shaw, making a point in

debate about information presented to councillors in offi cers’ reports, inter-rupted herself to say: “...it’s actually rude to talk while other people are debating.”

This sparked a hubbub in which the words “...a private conversation...” were heard.

Cr Fraser raised a point of order but was drowned out.

Cr Shaw, aggrieved: “Why bother – why bother debating? Why bother when you’ve got people...”

Cr Pittock, chairing the meeting: “We have a point of order, please.”

Cr Fraser: “May I inquire through the chair ... if there’s a parliamentary rule of practice or procedure [that deals with] what Cr Shaw is complaining of?”

Mr Joe Spiteri, the new governance manager, responded: “My view is that there’s scope to have conversations if they’re respectful and not impeding the speaker at the time, then that’s perfectly normal for that to take place.”

Cr Pittock upheld the point of order then asked Cr Shaw to resume debate.

Cr Shaw: “No, I wouldn’t bother wasting my breath.”

CW agrees broadly with Cr Shaw’s point that council meetings should proceed one speaker at a time. Council meeting rooms are rather smaller than parliamentary chambers and even quiet conversations may put off a speaker. Perhaps whispers or handwritten notes should be encouraged.

CW was once ticked off by then mayor Antonella Celi for a sotto voce conversation in the gallery that dem-onstrated she has the aural acuity of a kookaburra listening for lizards.

Don’t mind the squeaks, hark the whispers

MT ELIZA Secondary College students are gearing up for their appearances at the annual State Schools’ Spectacular next month.

They will perform in 10 dance items featuring music from the early 1900s through to the present.

“Each will showcase magnifi cent costumes designed with incred-ible detail to further enhance the production elements of the show,” dance director Kathryn Nightin-gale said.

“The students will perform in the massed dance section among 1000 primary and secondary stu-dents from across Victoria. They will also feature in the choir and

perform as vocalists and acrobats.” This year’s Spectacular theme is stories about childhood, culture, life and dreamtime.

In preparing for the show, students will gain experience from professionals, including choreog-raphers Troy Phillips and Deon Nuku, who have worked in shows such as Chicago, West Side Story and Moulin Rouge. Musical direc-tor Chong Lim will orchestrate the musical component of the event.

Shows will be 1pm and 6.30pm, Saturday 12 September, at Hisense Arena, Melbourne.

Tickets available on the school website and at Ticketek.

All in time: Mt Eliza Secondary College students Lauren Sexton, Holly Wright, Violetta Minzenmay, Samantha Howlett and students from Rosebud, Dromana, and South Oakleigh rehearse for the State Schools’ Spectacular.

Continued from Page 1“Touch wood, this time she can

get the knowledge and skills to help her to re-establish a more positive life. Indya has been damaged by this addiction and in particular her men-tal health.”

Ms Knight said drug addiction was an illness that required long-term treatment for people to recover. “It is not a moral failing. I have learnt the difference between enabling and loving support.”

She said drug addiction did not discriminate. “It has nothing to do with your socio-economic position. It has nothing to do with your educa-tion level or your background.”

She said her daughter had over-dosed fi ve times in the past fi ve years. “From my experience she is one of the fortunate ones to still be alive. Indya has had consistent and loving family support. What was lacking in our approach was knowl-edge and the skill to know how to support her without enabling her ad-diction.

“Simply advising young people not to take drugs is not the answer. Family and community are the key elements to help deliver education, early intervention and harm mini-misation. We have a huge gap in the community for a local family sup-port network.

“The trauma of drug addiction has a ripple effect on family members, which impacts their mental health.

Heartbreak from ice addiction

Unfortunately, because of the stigma at-tached to addiction, we don’t feel com-fortable talking about it. We fear judge-ment as a parent. This has to change. We need more open conversation, not less.”

Ms Knight called on the peninsula community to set up a family support group. “We need a safe place to be able to share our stories and personal suffer-ing in the non-judgemental and caring environment. Peninsula Voice has of-fered to run a smaller forum to bring af-fected people together.”

Mr Orton said it was hoped to run another forum later this year. In the meantime, the group was planning to run a series of smaller, support group-type events in the way described by Ms Knight.

WEEKEND train services will run all night on Friday and Saturday nights on the Frankston line from January next year as part of a public transport trial an-nounced by the Labor state government.

On Thursday last week Public Trans-port Minister Jacinta Allan announced a one-year trial, starting on New Year’s Eve, to gauge demand for weekend night-time services across Victoria’s rail network including the Frankston line.

“A world-class city deserves 24-hour public transport. It’s good for our econ-

omy, for shift workers and for people who want to get home safe after a night out,” Ms Allan said. “People who live in the outer suburbs and regional ar-eas shouldn’t have to miss out on Mel-bourne’s vibrant night life. This trial is about giving them a safe and affordable way to get home.”

The last train to Frankston from Mel-bourne on Friday and Saturday evenings currently leaves Flinders St Station at 1.05am. Metro Trains will run services every hour all night from Flinders St

Station to suburbs and regional areas as part of the trial, dubbed ‘Homesafe’, but Mornington Peninsula residents will miss out on overnight train transport at weekends with the Stony Point line not included in the 12-month trial.

The Homesafe trial was a pre-election promised made by Premier Daniel An-drews before winning government.

The Andrews government confi rmed last week that the trial will cost $83.6 million and not $50 million as previously advised before last year’s state election.

The government’s announcement of the Homesafe trial stated: “Exact time-table details will be worked out with Public Transport Victoria and system operators” and “a revamped and im-proved night bus network” will provide services from train stations including Frankston.

The state government did not respond to questions before deadline about when and where night-time buses would trav-el from Frankston train station.

In this ongoing monthly series we transport a taste of the best Australian writing from the city to you on the Peninsula.

What better way to discover (and toast) new Australian writing than over a meal and wine in beautiful Red Hill? Past guests include Kate Grenville, Hannah Kent and Gideon Haigh.

Thanks for supportThank you to readers of The News for your amazing response. It has been an incredible week leading up to Fusion’s Sleep in Your Car event

After the article (“Homeless nightmare” 21/7/15) we received a letter from an anonymous reader who sent a $200 cheque to one of our youngest fundraisers for the cause. The cheque included a personal letter of encouragement for making a difference in our local community.

This has highlighted to our team what a caring community we live in. Not only are we raising funds and awareness for the sad reality of youth homelessness, but people are encouraging and valuing our young people as they, for the fi rst time, put themselves out there to make a differ-ence in our local community.Stephanie Byrne, Fusion Mornington Peninsula

Caring talesIt is indisputable that depression is on the rise. Georgie Harman - Beyondblue CEO stated in The News that over three million Australians will experience depression, anxiety or both this year (“Offer support”, Letters 21/7/15).

I am a carer who has supported a partner with depression and, like so many others who take on this role, we offer ourselves selfl essly to provide encouragement, support and hope.

Every carer has a story to tell, yet many feel isolated and alone. Research has shown that car-ers often experience frustration and the inability to fi nd the right help. Alarmingly, recent research has reported that the mental and physical health of approximately 80 per cent of carers has been adversely affected.

Let’s break the silence and tell your storyIf you are a partner (or ex-partner) of a depres-

sion or anxiety sufferer, I invite you to share your personal account, anonymously or by full disclosure. The stories will be compiled and published in a book aimed specifi cally for carers. The aim of the book is to capture the raw and honest accounts of carers with a particular focus on what they have done to maintain their own

mental and physical health, lessons learnt and wellness strategies.

Contributions will need to be voluntary, as a portion of the book proceeds will be donated to organisations supporting mental health in Australia.

Stories are welcome from anyone, regardless of religion, race, age, sexual preference or social status. The only requirement is that you are or have been a partner of a depression or anxiety sufferer, and are willing to share your story in order to help others.

This book will provide inspiration to people who are in a similar situation, and are carrying the weight of their loved one’s suffering. The book will not be a replacement for the neces-sary support provided by GPs, psychologists or counsellors.

Residents ignoredThe shire council’s 13 July decision to approve the RACV Cape Schanck resort development, with its seven-storey, 30-metre high, 120-room complex, disappointed the 82 per cent of Cape Schanck residents who were against it.

Nine residents representing more than 400 people spoke against what will be the highest building south of Frankston. Surprisingly, the council discounted the Victorian Design Review Panel (Offi ce of the Victorian Government Ar-chitect) report that asked the RACV to consider excavating deeper to lower the height of the building.

The council meeting heard that the resort would attract conferences and help peninsula tourism to be “open for business” all year rather than just in summer, but residents argued that lowering the building height would still achieve this goal.

It was only after the meeting heard from Morn-ington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board chair-man Tracey Cooper, before councillors voted on the proposal, that I started to join the dots.

The council’s delegates on the tourism board are councillors Antonella Celi and Tim Wood (who was absent on the night of the vote) and the substitute representatives are Anne Shaw and David Garnock.

The motion to approve the RACV develop-ment was moved by Cr Celi and seconded by Cr Shaw. For the resort were Crs Celi, Shaw, Garnock and David Gibb.

In trying to understand the council’s decision, I see a connection between those proposing and voting for the decision and Ms Cooper together with Cape Schanck Resort manager Conleth Roche, with all having worked together on the regional tourism board.

So we have a situation where the council contributes to the funding of the tourism board, provides councillors as delegates, and the only two councillors to speak for the $135 million development were tourism board members. Also, the RACV sponsors the 2015 Victorian Tour-ism Awards, which are of benefi t to the regional tourism board.

This leads to a question we all understand: Does it pass the “sniff” test?

Ian Renwick, Cape Schanck

Liberal airingIt must truly be a rarifi ed atmosphere in Mt Martha, a wealthy and privileged area (“Liberal support”, Letters 4/8/15). There is a reason why few support the Liberal Party on any issue. The electorate is fed daily a pile of ignorant and untrue information by the Liberal Party, the party of the 20th century, and some would say even the 19th.

The majority of right thinking people have not been sucked in.

Between 2000 and 2007, 363 asylum seekers died at sea on their way to Australia. Between 2008 and July 2013 (under Labor) 877 asylum seekers died. This tragedy has occurred under both political parties, and this is not an opinion, it is a fact.

There has to be a better way. So far, under both Liberal and Labor governments, politicians are in a race to the bottom about how we treat asy-

lum seekers. Contrary to Michael Free’s state-ment that no boats this year have been sighted, on 19 July an asylum seeker boat was spotted off the coast of Western Australia. We have since learnt that the asylum seekers were removed from the boat by the government and smuggled under cover of darkness back to Sri Lanka. So the boats have not stopped.

As for jumping the queue, how can asylum seekers do this when they are incarcerated in offshore concentration camps where brutality, mental illness and child abuse is rife, as [Human Rights Commission president] Gillian Triggs rightly pointed out, and got crucifi ed for her efforts.

Mr Free’s argument about coal being cheaper than wind is just plain wrong. Australia has been left with a limp excuse for an emissions reduc-tion fund and an emasculated RET, courtesy of [Prime Minister Tony] Abbott, and the coal industry lobbyists. These are the same lobby-ists who have successfully denied the people of Australia a greener future since the politicians spurned Kyoto in favour of Australia's self-inter-ests over the interests of the global community.

Australia is now paying a price. Our industries and population are suffering the high price of coal-fuelled energy and the resultant impacts on health, wellbeing and income because of timid management that has sold out to the government. Even the CSIRO, the leader in innovation in this country has gone offshore.

A study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, shows that electricity can be supplied from a new wind farm at a cost of $80 a megawatt hour, compared to $143 a megawatt hour from a new coal plant. The study also shows that since 2011, the cost of wind energy has fallen by 10 per cent and the cost of solar by 29 per cent. In contrast, the cost of fossil fuel energy from new plants is high and rising.

Currently, the average householder pays dou-ble for electricity. Once, in taxpayer subsidies to prop up the coal burners, and twice when they use the electricity.

In his letter, Mr Free has made several untrue and inaccurate claims, including whether the The News is truly independent. Continued Page 14


In 2015 both inpatients and outpatients have ranked St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital “best in class” in their external benchmark group.

Sally Faulkner, CEO/DON said “Patient feedback and testimonials highlight the value of providing an environment that is conducive to healing – it’s the little things that matter, from our daily, cooked fresh onsite menu and massage and relaxation sessions to the daily expression of hospitality provided by our caregivers that enrich the patients experience and provide a sense of belonging and family. We have many patients who return to us for their ongoing care or in the capacity of volunteering, so they can continue to enhance the experiences of other patients. Our commitment is to help our patients return to doing what they love.”

POLYESTER BATTS

However, perhaps he is correct when he states that an empty vessel makes the most noise, as time and time again, the Abbott government has proved that statement.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Distrust explainedI can understand the lack of support for the Ab-bott Liberal government as it is as dysfunctional as was the Rudd/Gillard government. As for the current MP for Flinders and Environment Minis-ter Greg Hunt, he was in favour of an emissions trading scheme but is now paying polluters.

Also, I am still awaiting the $550 credit on my electricity bill which is still going up and there is no carbon tax.

Mr Abbott was waving his Our Plan dur-ing the election campaign but it is now mostly rescinded. We have Mr Abbott [Treasurer Joe] Hockey against wind farms. I suggest they take a trip to Moe and Yallourn to see real pollution and eye sores.

Both Liberal and Labor party supporters and their parliamentarians wonder why the minor-ity parties and independents are gaining power. They need to get on with the job, stop point scor-ing and have policies that relate to going forward for the good of Australia and not for those who infl uence them with donations or funding.

John Sutton, Tootgarook

Do-nothing LiberalsIn reply to Michael Free (“Liberal support”, Let-ters 4/8/15)): No Michael, you're still in Liberal territory. I'm sure that if your side does anything of note it will get mentioned in this fi ercely independent newspaper.

However, the Libs tend not to do anything that is newsworthy in a safe seat. Let’s face facts, there's not much talent to play with. The treasurer is still on training wheels, there's a pretend environment minister and let’s not forget the lady that has a penchant for limousines and helicopters.

Surely as a resident of 60 years you would remember the indiscretion of the federal MP back in the 1980s that resulted in Labor victories

both federal and state for one term. The Labor MPs were Bob Chynoweth (federal) and David Hassett (state). Both positions went back to your side after one term because a store dummy could win down here provided they had Liberal membership.

You mention that there has not been one boat this year. How would we know? "Smiler"Dutton, the Minister for Immigration, will not discuss "operational matters”.

Just a couple of weeks ago, a boatload of Vietnamese arrived off our coast and mysteri-ously disappeared. The Abbott government has stripped $80 million from the health and educa-tion budget. You appear to be reading chapter and verse from the book according to Andrew Bolt on climate change and coal power versus renewable energy to come up with these fi gures. Remember the GFC Michael? Under both the Rudd and Gillard governments, Australia was the envy of the world. We were saved the hard-ship that the world experienced because we had a treasurer who was an accountant and knew what he was doing.

I suppose you are waiting for the $500 rebate from the throwing out of the carbon tax along with the rest of us.

They say that the older you get the more conservative you become. Fortunately Michael, some of us "dodged the bullet" and are still inde-pendent thinkers. You have quoted an old saying that "an empty vessel makes the most noise" and you have displayed that quite competently!

John Cain, McCrae

Nothing to supportCould it not simply be that there is nothing much in the Liberal federal government's agenda that has been positive for ordinary Australians or the future wellbeing of our planet, Michael Free? (“Liberal support”, Letters 4/8/15).

For instance, the much feted new carbon abatement scheme of [Environment Minister and Flinders MP] Greg Hunt, has not seen my electricity bill go down and I'm waiting with trepidation for the much anticipated carbon reduction by 2020.

On the contrary, electricity prices actually have gone up this year. It can't have anything to do with renewable energy production, as our great leader Tony Abbott is out battling windmills and anything to do with alternative energy.

The furphy about new agreements being forged with the states is a blatant attempt by the federal government to cost shift to the states.

When it comes to empty vessels and noise, we have to look no further than the federal govern-ment front bench and leader group. All we hear from there are three-word slogans repeated at least twice and venom sprayed at anyone daring to ask pertinent questions.

The way the Liberal government in Canberra is keeping Australians out of the debate by secrecy and regressive security laws is shameful and should be condemned by the rank and fi le of a once truly liberal party.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Shire shake-upIn regard to the article detailing the organisation-al shake-up of the Mornington Peninsula Shire (“CEO details shire shake-up, jobs”, The News 28/8/15) I was very interested in the details di-rected to forming a building and facilities unit. I would hope that this new body would investigate the proposed plan for a new education/informa-tion centre to be built on the foreshore camping area at Cameron’s Bight.

Why would there be a need to build a new facility when there is a education/information centre in the adjacent area?

This existing facility has all the records of the history of this area, this centre is only open on 1pm-4pm Wednesdays and Sundays during school holidays. Surely the money that would have to be allocated for this structure should be directed to a number of far more pressing needs in the area.

The White Cliffs beach area is being com-pletely eroded away, the groyne that has saved this beach in the past has been almost destroyed and needs to be replaced to help prevent any further erosion.

The missing link in the bike/footpath needs to

be addressed to make it safe for young families.There is a need for footpath along Nepean

Highway between Minnimurra and Canterbury Jetty roadd to join up to the path at Blairgowrie.

Ttoilet blocks in the two separate parking areas at Tyrone Foreshore in the Flinders Street area are a disgrace and need to be replaced.

I hope that this new body will consider these options and that our rates will deliver effi cient and enhanced services to the community and put a hault to the waste in the duplicating of existing facilities that are not used to their full potential .

Maree Chrisomalidis, Rye

Failed captainThere has been recent public discussion as to whether the current federal government is Australia’s worst ever. Well yes, yes I say and many others I engage in conversation with say it was elected by deceit. Given the then Opposi-tion was aware of the budget problems and, to be perfectly fair, there were a few, and its total denial of the GFC (global fi nancial crisis.

The Labor government cushioned us from the full impact of the GFC by targeted spending that injected fi nance into job creation and prevented us having huge unemployment, as what hap-pened in so many other countries.

The Abbott government, once elected reneged, on election promises, such as no cuts to health, welfare, education and the ABC.

It has been one of the most derisive govern-ments, blaming the elderly, pensioners, and Joe Hockey’s “leaners” for not paying their way.

But the Australian people (give them credit) knew Abbott’s fi rst budget failed fundamentally as they want a fair and just society. They rejected the fl awed budget as it failed on all these social justice issues.

He has also failed in leadership also: he was slow to deal with the Bishop scandal, the grow-ing racism of the past month, his captain’s picks and his paid parental leave scheme, which was doomed from the start. Abbott is captain in a failed government. Where are the policies, where is the fairness, equality and the justice.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Patriotic fund reaches record totalPatriotic fund reaches record totalCompiled by Melissa Walsh

THE seventh list of contributions to the Frankston Patriotic Fund is pub-lished in another column. It has now reached the respectable total of £268 7s. This amount is quite independent and apart from the very considerable contributions of money, material, and work afforded to the Australian Red Cross Society. The list we publish this week in-cludes a handsome second contribu-tion of £19 4s 3d from the Frankston Ladies’ Collecting Committee. Of this sum £10 was realized by a raffl e of a quilt by the Frankston storekeepers.

***IT will be seen from an advertisement in another column that a 4th presen-tation will be made, on Monday, Au-gust 23rd, at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, to volunteers for the front, drawn from Frankston and the imme-diate district. We understand that no less than 27 names of recently enlisted volunteers have already been recorded as entitled to presentations. As the sum in the hands of the Trea-surer and the proceeds of the enter-tainment will not meet the necessary expenses, donations to defray the extra expenditure will be most thank-fully received by the Hon. Sec. (Dr Plowman). He also desires that friends of any recently enrolled recruits will send to him the names of the latter, together with their exact company ad-dresses. If this is done, his work will be much facilitated.

***THE contest for the premiership of the Peninsula Football Association was advanced another stage on Saturday at Frankston, when teams representing the Guards and Hastings met in the fi -nal, and as in the semi-fi nals, another keenly contested game resulted, the Guards winning by the narrow margin of one point. A number of spectators, together with the Hastings players, declared that the match was a draw as in the conclud-ing quarter a point was awarded to the Guards about which there was consid-erable discussion. There was a good deal of crowded play about the Guards goal towards the close of the game, and the ball either went out bounds close to the behind post or it went between the be-hind and goal post. The boundary umpire waved his fl ag, it is asserted, signifying that the ball went out of bounds, and at the same time the goal umpire waved one fl ag indicating that a behind had been scored by the Guards, who by getting the benefi t of the particular point won the match. The Guards as usual put a representa-tive team on the fi eld, while Hastings experienced some diffi culty in muster-ing the full complement, and it was not until the last quarter started that their eighteenth man took the fi eld. Hastings have been premiers of the Peninsula Association for many years past, and have any number of premier-ship pennants to their credit, but this year they have not been as strong as in

past seasons. They were just getting their team together towards the close and gave a good account of themselves against their opponents in the last two match-es. Owing to a number of the Hastings players having recently enlisted the team was very short-handed on Sat-urday, and little hope was held out of securing a win over the Guards. However they put up a great game and gave the soldiers no end of trouble to accomplish a victory. Boyle had charge of the teams, and on play com-mencing the Guards soon established a lead by registering a couple of goals. Hastings were on the forward line and did not give a very good account of themselves in the opening term; in which the guards scored 3 2 to Hast-ings 0 3, the latter playing well togeth-er, and helped considerably by good play from Carmichael, Francis, Floyd Bros, Kimberly, Emery, and others put their opponents on their mettle in the second and third quarters and the Guards found they were not going to have such an easy task as appeared in the opening term, and on com-mencing the last quarter the scores were- Guards 5 4; Hastings 4 8; An-other goal to Hastings put them in the lead, but the Guards fi nishing strongly gradually overhauled the leaders, and a few minor points in succession gave them the advantage by one, the fi nal result being: Guards 5 goals 9 behinds, Hastings 5 goals 8 behinds. A protest was entered by Hastings on the ground that the Guards’ team

included 3 ineligible players and also that a behind was claimed that was given an ‘out of bounds’ by the boundary umpire. The Association met on Thursday evening, and after hearing the evidence it was decided unanimously that Hastings had failed to establish a case, and awarded the match to the Guards.

***THE fi rst installment of fi nished arti-cles has been despatched this week to the Central Red Cross Depot. The list of articles is as follows:—43 shirts, 7 undershirts, 10 pyjama suits, 3 pyjama pants, 50 pairs socks, 50 pillow cases, 70 towels, 20 handkerchiefs, 32 face washers, 12 ditty bags, 12 milk jug covers, 5 muffl ers, 2 pairs muffl ers, 2 pairs cuffs, 3 pairs slippers, and a woollen helmet. A great deal of work is still out, and the committee would be glad to re-ceive it as soon as possible, in order to send another installment next week.

***IN our advertising columns will be found notice of the Somerville Fancy Fair in aid of the Australian Wound-ed Fund. The Fair will be offi cially opened by the Hon J. E. Mackey M.L.A. at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of Friday, Aug 20th. Sir Wm Irvine and Mr A. Down-ward Ms. L A. have also been asked to speak at the opening, but as these gentlemen are very busy over war matters the Club cannot say defi nitely that they will be there. Residents of Somerville and district are cordially invited to the opening

ceremony. Admission free to all each afternoon. The Fair is a novelty in the district as regards goods for sale and the costumes of the Allies and Do-minions, as well as Red Cross nurses, which will be worn by stall holders should prove one of the many attrac-tions.

Big business gives money to Billy Shorten’s union. Big business gives the Labor Party money, and the Liberal Party money. Sometimes big business will give both parties mon-ey; a bit each way so to speak, the overriding obvious reason being “in their interest”. So why Leigh Sales should spend 15 minutes ques-tioning Billy Boy as to what big business expected in return for their money is beyond me. The question is best directed to the givers?

***I wish? Bye bye booing, bye bye the James Hird saga and “Bye Bye Bronwyn” the musical?...“Quality defeats” they tell of my once mighty

Magpies; surely (like Greg Hunt) an oxymoron?...It’s not the pretty pictures on the cigarette packs, (Quitting will improve your health; my favourite) it’s the cost... I’m thinking of a name change for Rye; Upper St Andrews?...My thanks to our state government for caring about Hastings.... We all have our own particular brand of self-right-eousness, a necessarily ingredient of all political leaders, almost always spiked with our own brand of hypocrisy....“Puritanism-the haunt-ing fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy”. [H.L. Mencken]...hooroo...cliffi [email protected] www.ello8.com

SOME things come and others go, in due course. Bronwyn Bishop ob-viously and James Hird seemingly forever. Then there’s the Adam Goodes booing, raising it all to a new level. You’re either with him or against him and God help you if you’re against in any shape or form, thus automatically achieving racist status.

Waleed Aly, Caroline Wilson, Gerard Wakeley, Martin Flana-gan and others roving the castle grounds, looking to put down any stray dogs with their high-powered words. Like the cost of cigarettes (and James Hird) it will not stop there; contrary thoughts whispered only down darkened laneways.

I restrict my booing to dirty footballers and anti-Collingwood umpires in the comfort of my home. Millionaire Adam Goodes is not a dirty footballer. His comments as Australian of the Year were reason-able, but apparently caused a mild stir with the 40,000 years stuff. His highlighting of the 13-year-old girl added momentum, helped consider-ably by the media.

Apparently the girl called him “an ape”, a common quip against opposition players with or without beards but ignored by the media in the never ending search for an angle, racism, and not helped by Adam’s concurrence.

His eventual obvious reluctant ac-ceptance of Eddie McGuire’s apol-ogy for a stupid slip of the tongue was further highlighted by the media to the point where some rank and fi le football followers thought (to use a typical Aussie phrase) he was “up himself”. The fi res well fanned, with the insignifi cant sup-posed staging for a free kick (done

some 50 times per game) added. A degree of racism yes, some 99.99 per cent of people are racist, it be-ing a question of that degree.

“In football everything is compli-cated by the presence of the other side” [J P Sartre].

***We move gladly into August and the afterglow of Billy Boy’s socking it to them at the ALP conference. Was his political switch to adopt the Lib-eral’s “turn back the boats” common sense, a policy ignoring social and ethical responsibility as it did under Rudd and Gillard?

Billy explained he could not take a policy to the next election that could contribute to drownings at sea? Leaving aside the probability if they cannot come here they will take bigger risks heading for other coun-tries, the harsh reality is the major-ity of voters do not want those sad boat people, so not to take this action would result in near certain electoral defeat. Ugly, calculating, even heart-less, but to be a Prime Minister sure-ly the key word is pragmatic.

Never forgetting the Royal Com-mission into Trade Union Govern-ance still has a trick or two up its blessed biased sleeves to summon Billy back sometime mid-2016. One or two more uplifting policies and in with a chance. Well, maybe half a chance.

***

There’s “compelling research” liv-ing alone can be pretty “great” for you. “I think the biggest perk of liv-ing alone is the space and freedom to get to know who you really are”. More insightful gems from those

hidden gnomes carrying out re-search on anything/everything. I’ve lived alone for 11 years, my only visitor being the fortnightly council homecare lady. There are pluses; the remote control, always agreeing with myself? Maybe going to the RSL whenever I please, listen to my favourite song. (Peggy Lee’s 1969 classic Is That All There Is?) my favourite book; 1984? All to extend the breadth of my world combined with the pleasure of getting to know myself. What if “getting to know myself” disclosed nothing more than a boring old fart? Compel-ling research? Why compelling? Another of those “mature dialogue” phrases?

***The Sunday Age tells of new sleep pods in the big city, a 20 to 40 minute nap daytimes for stressed business types. A quote from a sleep expert (whatever that is?): “a brief nap can improve your alertness”. Fair enough, but the writer added “There is growing evidence that a lack of sleep has a role in cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer”. Growing evidence? Nonsense ad infi nitum.

***What became of the “coast and cli-mate learning centre idea? Ditto the “one-stop shops” for aged care ser-vices allowing people to seamlessly move from basic help at home to residential aged care services, and after hours GP services? Ditto Jesuit priest Frank Brennan’s appointment to examine our need for a Bill of Rights? Gone with the wind?

By Stuart McCulloughTHERE’S no doubt that if Michelan-gelo were alive today, he wouldn’t be fl ushing his time down the artistic lav-atory by perching on a rickety ladder that would give the folks at WorkCov-er a conniption and splashing a tub of Taubman’s satin gloss on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. No way. If Michel-angelo were alive now he’d be a ba-rista. Worse still, he’d be dressed head to toe in black, have his hair in a man bun with a pencil wedged as tightly as William Tell’s arrow in the apple and would be expressing himself through coffee foam.

I get it, truly I do. It’s art, right? And I appreciate that people should be able to express themselves through art be-cause, after all, art enlivens the soul and generally makes us all better and more complete human beings. It is art that inspires us and differentiates us from any other creature that inhabits this big old globe we call Earth. I ac-cede all of this without hesitation and yet, despite my unquestioning accept-ance of the enduring power and beauty of all things arty, when all’s said and done, it’s just a pattern on the top of a cup of coffee.

It’s called ‘latte art’, whereby the person making your coffee creates a pattern on top of your drink. Rather than using a brush, the picture is cre-ated when the steamed milk is poured into the espresso and then manipu-lating the foam to create an image. Popular latte art examples include ‘the love heart’, ‘the tulip’, ‘the leaf’ and ‘the Rosetta’. None of these make the coffee taste any better; it’s purely an

aesthetic thing. But it’s notoriously tricky to do owing to the sheer unpre-dictability of the milk and espresso. I think it speaks volumes that art is no longer something we hang on walls but something we consume after shell-ing out three dollars fi fty.

We had decided to go out for break-

fast. It’s not something we do espe-cially often, but I’d argued that we really should get out and explore the neighbourhood. The idea is that we visit a different café each time we go out. The more places we try, the more it becomes obvious how complex something like breakfast has become.

It’s no longer a matter of bacon and eggs with some grilled tomato on the side but an avalanche of confi t, jus and various objects braised within an inch of their lives. In fact, it’s hard not to get the impression that we might just be trying too hard. Whereas once a bowl of rice bubbles and a piece of toast was a meal fi t for royalty, we’re reluctant to get out of bed for any meal that can’t be described as a haiku. We are, quite frankly, getting a touch car-ried away.

It began as café breakfasts always do. My wife and I were asked whether we wanted tea or coffee to start. With-out hesitation, I ordered a fl at white. I’m not sure why I chose a ‘fl at white’ instead of any one of the dozen other options, but it’s the coffee that I most identify with. It sounds modest and sensible and could, in fact, be a de-scription that applies equally to me, the drinker, as to the drink itself. But everything I ever believed about fl at whites was suddenly upended when the drink arrived. The waiter plonked it down in front of me without expla-nation. There, staring out of my cof-fee, was a piece of latte art that had either gone horribly wrong or terribly, terribly right.

I’m not sure how to put this with-out offending someone. In delicately pouring the milk and manipulating the micro foam, the barista had succeeded in creating and picture that Baldrick from Blackadder might describe as a ‘rude and amusing shape’. It goes without saying: this was not what I had ordered. Had it been up to me, I would have asked for a unicorn (my standard order), Che Guevara or Papa

Smurf but not this affront to all things wholesome and decent. Not over breakfast, at any rate.

Suddenly, my choice of seating be-came crucial. As husbands are want to do, I had sacrifi ced the comfy seat against the wall and, as a result, my back was turned to the coffee ma-chine. I’d seen it when we’d entered – a gleaming tangle of metal pipes that could just as easily be part of a Chevrolet’s engine – but I’d paid no attention at all to who was making the coffee. Now, however, I was afraid to turn around to see just who was re-sponsible for the phallic foam on top of my coffee.

Was the barista making fun of me? Or did they simply like the cut of my jib? Instantly, I regretted wearing a jib instead of jeans as my wife had sug-gested. The more I thought about it, the less likely I was to turn around. My wife, who had wisely ordered tea, found the entire experience hilarious. Had I the nerve to turn my chair, I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised to see Robert Mapplethorpe, dressed in black with a man bun, hunkered down over the milk steamer.

Then there’s the real issue: where do you start drinking? Lucky for me, I take sugar. After adding in a half tea spoon and a whole half hour of vig-orous stirring, the image fi nally van-ished. As we were paying the bill, the waiter asked whether we wanted to leave a tip. ‘Don’t draw obscene im-ages on top of people’s coffee’, I an-swered. He looked puzzled. Now he knows how I feel.

The sorry tale of an arty latteThe sorry tale of an arty latteTHE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES


Music Arts Food

When you’ve been in the music industry as long as Ross Wilson, doing a gig like The Besto Mondo Tour is more like fun than hard work.

Ross and the original line-up of Mondo Rock will be back this year to take the stage by storm again on Saturday 22 August at The Palais.

Off the back of rave reviews and sold out shows across the country last year, the iconic Australian rock band have announced a select season of theatre shows, with the original line up for their Besto Mondo Tour.

“It was great to get together with the guys again last year and we’re rehearsing at the moment for the Besto Mondo Tour,” says Wil-son, who has just returned from holidays and is ready to rock. “Last year some of the songs on the Chemistry album I hadn’t sung in years and you tend to go back into the headspace of where you were those years ago.”

Wilson says this year they will be concentrating on songs from the best of collection.

“We are very diligent about how we prepare

and all of us guys have been still full time musicians so it’s just fi ne tuning,” says Wilson. “Even though I perform some of the songs with my own band, when the original band get together there’s something different about it. It has that extra glue or power that gives the songs more weight.”

Mondo Rock will be hitting the road with the classic line-up – Ross Wilson, Eric McCusker, James Black, Paul Christie and Gil Matthews reuniting once again – and the lads cannot wait.

Finding fame and fortune with Daddy Cool in the early 70s, Wilson says he realised after the band dispersed how hard it had been to handle that kind of notoriety.

“I kind of realized I was a bit nuts at the time. First of all you go around and the spotlight is on you and you become a bit overwhelmed, so when Mondo Rock took off I was more pre-pared,” said Wilson, who started out singing in the school choir and in a band at school.

“I grew up in a musical household so got into

my fi rst band at school, and playing gigs week-ends. Then I decided to take a leap off the ledge without a net and got into it full time.

My parents were very supportive. Dad really never mentioned it as a problem and over time I proved to him that I could make it work.”

As for longevity, Wilson says being in the posi-tion of a lead singer and a writer gives him the ability to marshal all the forces together and direct what’s going on, as well producing other albums for the likes of Skyhooks.

“When I saw Skyhooks I sort of became their mentor. I was sticking up for them and watch-ing out for them in the industry. I was really glad they signed with Mushroom because I didn’t want them to be censored.”

The most diffi cult part of the 40-year journey, he says, was being young and a little naïve.

“When you start off young and full of enthusi-asm you tend to be more trusting so you have to learn. It’s the classic story of artists being exploited. These days it’s a lot more business like though with more resources available.

There was no such thing as showbiz lawyers and little advice when we started out.”

These days Wilson’s musical tastes are varied.

“My musical style has changed a bit I think and I’m always looking for something different. I’m a music omnivore,” he says with a laugh.

Mixing it up with Mondo Rock, New Zealand band Mi-Sex are special guests playing all their hits, including faves like Computer Games, Blue Day, People and But You Don’t Care.

“It’s great to have Mi-Sex as supporting. They’re brilliant and we’re all looking forward to some fun,” says Wilson.

Mondo Rock started out as a quintessential pub rock outfi t and soon developed into one of the most prominent bands of the live music scene. As they prepare for the Besto Mondo tour, fans can expect the same musical genius all over again with hits from the Besto Mondo Greatest Hits Collection.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt DROMANA caused the upset of the season on Saturday in Nepean League, leading all afternoon to beat Rye by 11 points.

At one stage in the third quarter, the Tigers led by as much as 51 points.

It’s been a tough year for the Tigers but they have continuously proved that their best is good enough to match it with the best in the competition.

On Saturday at Dromana Recreation Reserve, they jumped the Demons and led by 11 points at quarter time and 10 points at the main change.

Billy Quigley was a real handful for the opposition in attack with fi ve goals, Matt Jones was at his best and former Demons Braeden Dennis was getting under the guard of the opposi-tion and fi nished with three goals.

Rohan Bleeker had a break-out

game for the Tigers and proved he belongs at the top level and Christian Ongarello controlled the match from the back half.

The Demons came fl ying home in the last quarter with a seven goal to three term, however, they still fell short 15.19 (109) to 18.12 (120).

While the result was sensational for Dromana, the real story was ‘what happened to Rye’?

Nathan Henley was sensational with fi ve goals and Ryan Mullett dominated through the middle. Adam Kirkwood provided plenty of drive, Sam Smith had an impact, Rhett Sutton regained some form and Ben Holmes booted three goals.

With that kind of output from some of their better players, you would have expected a win, not a loss.

Rye coach Josh Moore was shattered on Sunday following the match.

“I don’t take losing very well,” said Moore.

“The difference between the two teams was simply they wanted it more.

“We pride ourselves on effort and when we give it, we win more often than not. We just didn’t give it on Sat-urday and Dromana was better than us.

“It’s a massive reality check. We may look back on it and say it was a good thing to happen.

“Rehab was good on Sunday and we were very galvanised at the conclu-sion. I hate losing but it might be the kick start we need at the right time, “ said Moore.

Somerville got things back on track to an extent on Saturday, turning around a sloppy fi rst quarter to get the job done against Frankston Bomb-ers.

The Eagles trailed by two points at

quarter time but booted 13 goals to eight after the fi rst break to celebrate a commanding 16.13 (109) to 12.7 (79) victory.

Tom Shaw and Scott Simpson boot-ed four goals each for the Eagles while Timmy McGenniss again dominated. Ben Sedgwick and Josh Westerman also challenged for the top votes.

James Degenhardt was outstanding for the Bombers with three goals while Matt Harris and Jason Kingsbury also worked tirelessly.

Sorrento, as expected, made light work of Pearcedale, winning 24.12 (156) to 6.6 (42).

Myles Pitt booted 10 goals while a further 12 players hit the scoreboard. Leigh Treeby, arguably the best in the business, was best on the ground.

Brendan Neville and Glenn Ander-son worked hard for the Dales.

Devon Meadows celebrated coach

Glenn Michie’s 300th game in fi ne style on Saturday, dominating the second hour to beat Crib Point 17.14 (116) to 7.12 (54).

Troy Aust fi nished with three goals for the Meadows while Michie was one of fi ve players to kick two goals for the winners.

Jesse Dehey and Billy Hayes were outstanding for the winners.

Zac Condick, Brad Arnold and James Cook were tireless for the Pies.

Luke Clark booted 10 goals for Hastings as they bounced back against Tyabb, winning 30.21 (201) to 3.6 (24).

Lance Brouwer and the underrated Chris Biviano were exceptional for the Blues, while Colin McVeigh was also at his best.

Michael Frost and Adrian Clay were the best of the Yabbies.

Rosebud and Red Hill had the bye.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW fl exed its mus-cles on Saturday in the Peninsula League match of the round, thumping Edithvale-Aspendale by almost 100 points.

The Eagles came into the game having won fi ve games on the trot, including against top fi ve teams Pines and Mornington.

However, at no stage was the home team in the match against the Stone-cats. They were held goalless in the fi rst and third quarters, eventually go-ing down 19.16 (130) to 6.3 (39).

The Eagles weren’t helped by the fact they were missing prime mover Tim Mavric and ruckman Aaron Pawel.

The lack of a ruckman meant the Matt Kremmer had to be moved from the attacking end to the middle, re-sulting in the Eagles losing their abil-ity to stretch YCW defensively.

The bulk of the forward work was left to Jarrod Garth, who competed hard and booted two goals.

Matt Clark was clearly the Ea-gles’ best with more than 20 touches through the middle of the ground.

Former Richmond player Brett O’Hanlon was well restricted, fi nish-ing with just 13 possessions.

Frankston YCW on the other hand was superb. It’s going to take a super effort from a very good side to stop this club win another premiership.

Anthony Barry was the best player on the ground, controlling things from half back, while his cousin By-ron wasn’t far behind him.

Ash Eames was unstoppable in the ruck and gave fi rst use to his small men all day, including Tony Lester, who fi nished with 21 possessions and two goals.

In attack, YCW always looked dan-gerous. Anthony Bruhn had almost 10 shots on goal but fi nished with just four majors, while Lew Roberts was unassuming but still managed three majors.

The likes of James Credlin and Ryan Santon don’t get a lot of atten-tion but are growing in confi dence each week, while Luke Collins is re-ally starting to fi nd his way.

The only sad note on what was otherwise a sensational day for the Stonecats was the knee injury to Ben Buckley. Buckley was starring for the Stonecats but twisted his knee with just three minutes of the game left on the clock. He was stretchered from

the fi eld.Watching Frankston YCW play op-

position sides is like watching boys versus men. The body shape of the Stonecats is far superior to that of any other side and this is the reason they are going to be hard to stop come

fi nals time.They don’t have a weak link. They

have wonderful leadership, a self confi dence that is undeniable and an enormous appetite to win.

Seaford put a tumultuous week be-hind them, booting seven last quarter

goals to shake-off Karingal, 16.15 (111) to 10.10 (70).

The Tigers gave marching orders to their coach Ben Crowe on Tuesday night before training after Crowe re-signed his position midway through the season.

Despite Crowe committing to the club for the remainder of the season, the club decided it was best if he didn’t see out the year.

Crowe said he understood where the club stood, however, conceded he was disappointed with the way it ended.

“I thought I had the support of the club and the players to fi nish the season but obviously that wasn’t the case,” said Crowe.

“You fi nd out things that you were blinded by when everything unfolds and it seems that there were people at the club who didn’t support me. That being the case, the club offi cials had to do something about it”.

Crowe said he would weigh up his future over the coming weeks.

“If I play in Nepean, it will be with Somerville. However, I have a lot of mates at a lot of clubs – Pines, YCW, Mt Eliza, Edithvale-Aspendale.

“There’s going to be a lot of specu-lation on where I play next season but it couldn’t be further from my mind right now,” said Crowe.

Mornington bounced back on Sat-urday, smashing Chelsea 20.16 (136) to 5.13 (43).

Dale Nolan was dominant with six goals and Jackson Calder was dangerous also with four while Jake Smart fi nished with three goals in his best senior game for the club.

Rory Gregg worked hard in the ruck for the Gulls, while Matt Gar-dener tried hard up forward with two goals.

Pines too bounced back on Satur-day, leading all afternoon to knock over Bonbeach 14.12 (96) to 10.7 (67).

The Pythons set up the win with a seven goal to one fi rst quarter. The Sharks booted nine goals to seven af-ter quarter time.

Guy Hendry starred for the Pythons with fi ve goals while Aaron Edwards with four and Corey Ash were out-standing.

Gary Carpenter and Jackson Sole led the way for the Sharks, along with Lachy Gill-Renouf.

Mt Eliza strangled Langwarrin in a low scoring contest, winning 11.13 (79) to 5.6 (30).

Justin Van Unen booted four goals for 87 for the season while Jimmy Clayton and Timmy Strickland domi-nated.

Ricki Johnston was clearly Lang-warrin’s best again, along with Blake Peach, who fi nished with two goals.

All-new Mitsubishi Challenger All-new Mitsubishi Challenger successor makes global debutsuccessor makes global debutMITSUBISHI Motors’ long-awaited successor to its versatile Challenger 4x4 SUV has made its international debut at the 2015 Bangkok Interna-tional Grand Motor Sale in Thailand.

Presented for the fi rst time in production form, Mitsubishi’s third-generation Challenger offers rugged luxury, sophisticated technology and genuine four-wheel drive performance.

Named Pajero Sport in markets like Thailand, the new model features Mitsubishi Motors’ new Dynamic Shield front face design concept, a further evolution of the design nurtured in suc-cessive models of the Pajero series.

The high-quality stylish design uses both sporty and dynamic elements that clearly distin-guish it from other off-road SUVs.

Inside, a high console proportion dashboard with dynamically styled silver-fi nish ornamenta-tion and plush sculpted seats add to its luxurious feel.

Powered by a 2.4-litre MIVEC turbo diesel engine mated to a new 8-speed automatic trans-mission, the new SUV achieves improved envi-ronmental performance while delivering great practical utility and punchy engine performance.

Handling, stability, ride and quietness have all been improved through optimisation of the sus-pension and improvements to the body mounts. The use of upgraded sound insulation and a new diesel engine provide a signifi cant reduction in interior noise.

The 2016 Challenger introduces a range of advanced and comprehensive safety technology that will feature on a Mitsubishi model for the fi rst time.

New active safety features include Blind Sport Warning (BSW) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) which, while station-ary or at speeds of up to 10 km/h, uses ultra-sonic sensors to detect vehicle obstructions and regulates engine power if the drive depresses the accelerator hard by mistake.

Additional safety fi rsts include a Multi-around Monitor which displays a bird’s eye image of

the vehicle’s perimeter and the new model gains an electronic parking brake.

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) braking will also feature on the new Challenger, round-ing out a list of advanced safety features not typically found in this class.

MMC’s own RISE impact safety body design and a total of seven SRS airbags provide occu-pants with outstanding passive safety.

The Challenger uses a further-evolved ver-sion of MMC’s own Super Select II four-wheel drive system. This is complemented by the new Off-road Mode terrain selection system, a fi rst on a Mitsubishi, which gives better all-terrain performance and stability as the road surface requires.

The addition of Hill Descent Control, another fi rst for Mitsubishi, and greater wading depth also enhance the Challengers off-road capabili-ties.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the new-generation Challenger demonstrates the brands renewed emphasis on style, refi nement and cutting edge technology.

“Mitsubishi Motors’ Challenger successor is another example of our product direction and refl ects the new appeal, design excellence, quality and refi nement we are building into our vehicles.

“The 2016 Challenger represents a new-generation of SUV with luxury, high-tech safety features and superior comfort while still deliver-ing class leading 4WD capabilities and great on-road performance.”

The new SUV will go on sale in Thailand this Spring and will be launched progressively in 90 countries across ASEAN, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Russia in the coming months.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia will announce details of the new Australian specifi cation Chal-lenger closer to its local launch.
