MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire rated seventh worst for complaints out of the 25 municipalities with populations of 100,000 or more, the Victorian Om-budsman found in his 2014 annual report.

This gave the shire an unfavourable rating of fi ve, one above the worst rat-

ing of six, according to Mr Joe Lenzo, who analysed the Ombudsman’s report and the 2014 Victorian Population Bul-letin.

Mr Lenzo identifi ed at least two matters submitted to the Ombudsman contained multiple issues. These were sent as single complaints: if each mat-ter was counted individually, the shire drops to rating six – the worst category – and climbs to become the fi fth worst

municipality for complaints. This compares with Frankston

Council (18 out of 25) and the City of Greater Dandenong (16 out of 25). The City of Knox, with almost the same population as the shire, rates 24 out of 25, Mr Lenzo found.

“Most of these complaints should have been resolved at the shire level,” Mr Lenzo said.

Mr Lenzo, of Safety Beach, who

has a Bachelor of Business Adminis-tration from Ohio University with a major in accounting, was a corporate auditor with a multi-billion dollar US manufacturing company, moving on to fi nancial analytical and operational positions, culminating as fi nancial controller. He has also held senior po-sitions in sales and marketing.

He said the Ombudsman’s offi ce has a group that liaises with a shire offi cer

and the Ombudsman can supply infor-mation on the complaints against the shire.

“The analysis of these complaints and a plan on how to reduce them was apparently not a concern of [the previ-ous shire hierarchy] as this data does not seem to be presented to council or to be of much concern,” Mr Lenzo said in his analysis.

UNITING Church minister Cameron McAdam leans forward in his chair and grimaces: “What upsets me most about the asylum seeker issue is the morality and ethics of what the Aus-tralian government is doing to them.

“Sure, it’s necessary to detain arriv-als for health and security checks but I can’t believe we are locking them up in prisons, in places that look like con-centration camps. Why are we holding children in detention?

“There is now suffi cient evidence to show the negative mental health ef-fects of locking people up, and the po-tential future costs on our healthcare system.”

Rev McAdam looks pensively out of the window of his offi ce at The Village Uniting Church in Mt Eliza, across a well-tended garden behind the church complex in Canadian Bay Rd. “You can’t punish one person in an attempt to scare off other potential refugees.”

The 44-year-old minister, who was appointed to the parish 10 months ago, says he is among a growing group of Christians of all denomina-tions from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region pushing back against the federal government’s asy-lum seeker policies.

He was one of fi ve peninsula church leaders and an Amnesty International representative who protested outside federal MP Bruce Billson’s Frankston offi ce in early December, leading to an

Christians oppose govt refugee policyChristians oppose govt refugee policy

Advocate: Mt Eliza Uniting Church minister Cameron McAdam is among church leaders in the region pushing the government to soften its asylum seeker policies.

exchange of tetchy emails between Mr Billson and several protesters.

With Rev McAdam that day were Jamie Edgerton, of New Peninsula Baptist Church in Mt Martha; Pastor Jim Catford of Mornington Church of Christ; Kevin Bain of Amnesty In-

ternational’s peninsula branch; Jean Woods; and Dr David Price, OAM, a member of St Mark’s Uniting Church in Mornington.

Just days earlier the federal govern-ment made sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration laws after then-Immigration Minister Scott Morrison agreed to lift Australia’s refugee intake by 7500 places, gave asylum seekers on bridging visas the right to work, and agreed to remove all children in camps on Christmas Island, but not children in other camps such as Naura.

On Friday it was revealed the gov-ernment was spending $1.2 billion a year to house refugees in offshore detention centres with Nauru refugees costing $500,000 a year each.

Last Thursday, Rev McAdam said the Love Makes a Way movement, a national Christian lobby group, was strongly represented in the peninsula and Frankston region. “Members are not radical Christians,” he said.

More than 100 Christians late last year attended a day-long forum or-ganised by Rev McAdam and the Mt Eliza Inter-Church Council (which in-cludes the town’s two other churches, St James The Less Anglican and St Thomas Moore Catholic) at Mt Eliza’s Uniting Church. “A Just World” in-cluded talks by Rev Dr Gordon Pre-ece and Sister Brigid Arthur, leading Christians opposed to asylum seeker policies, as well as Justice Debbie Mortimer, who spoke about interna-tional refugee law, Australia’s human rights obligations, and why people take risks to fl ee their own countries.

“There were many people who

gained a new perspective on this worldwide problem,” Rev McAdam said. “Many changed their views for the better.”

A second forum might be held this year, he said.

The minister’s arguably radical views were formed growing up in a po-litically engaged family. A brother who is 17 years older brought home social justice issues from university, as did a sister and sister-in-law, both teachers, in later years.

Rev McAdam was a member of St Aidan’s in North Balwyn as a young man and was infl uenced by social jus-tice campaigners Val and Dick Urie. He fi rst attended a Palm Sunday peace rally at age 18. He spent 10 years from age 33 as a minister in Camperdown in western Victoria where he was also chaplain of the state secondary school. “The Uniting Church has always had a strong focus on social justice issues.”

He came to the ministry relatively late in life. After school at Scotch Col-lege he worked in sales but at 19 want-ed to be a social worker. He had vari-ous sales jobs and applied to become a minister at 24, becoming a private theology student until selected by the church as a ministry candidate at 28. Then followed three years of study, a one-year Diploma of Education, and placements at churches in the eastern suburbs. Camperdown was his fi rst church. Rev McAdam and his wife Georgie have three young children, all born in Camperdown.

The minister hands over several sheets of paper that contain mind-boggling statistics about the world’s

refugee problem. There are more than 50 million refugees with 11.7 million at highest risk, according to the United Nations refugee agency. In 2012, only 88,000 were resettled. Australia took 6.7 per cent (United States took 74 per cent, Canada 11 per cent).

Australia’s overall intake in 2013 was 34,500, 48th in the world for num-ber of refugees hosted but 74th mea-sured against economic wealth.

Rev McAdam publicly entered the refugee debate after the Rudd Labor government hardened asylum seeker rules in mid-2013 when it announced arrivals would not be settled in Austra-lia, and that offshore detention centres closed in 2008 would be reopened, including Naura and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.

His public stance has made some members of his congregation uncom-fortable but he tells them: “I’m critical of both Labor and Coalition governments.

“Just because the current govern-ment thinks its refugee policies are vote winners doesn’t make them right.”

Rev McAdam said it had never been right to detain children. “We are keep-ing children and their families locked in these places, many living in limbo, unsure of their futures.

“The government must immediately release all children from detention, close all offshore detention centres, and introduce a fairer and more rea-sonable policy approach including a regional solution in the future.

“The only difference between asy-lum seekers and me is where we were born. I was lucky enough to be born in Australia.”

THE “biggest concern” for nurses hit by the Royal District Nursing Service’s proposed staff shakeup is the possible negative impact on patient care.

The organisation last week announced it would close its Frankston offi ces in Beach St in April and likely close its Rosebud offi ces in Cairns St. They are among 14 suburban offi ces whose functions will be consolidated into four regional hubs – with the closest to Frankston and the peninsula being at Moorabbin.

The revamp will result in six nurses losing their jobs at Rosebud as well as two admin staff and one domestic staffer. Six G3 nursing positions will be downgraded to G2. Frankston staff cuts are unknown.

Nurses are also concerned they will be redeployed from specialist nursing roles into more generalised positions, on lesser wages, and into different geographical areas to which they currently work.

They are unhappy their request that the RDNS maintain its workforce status quo “until we resolve all matters related to the proposed changes” was denied.

But a RDNS spokeswoman said no frontline nursing staff would be affected by the relocation of administrative functions to the new regional hubs.

Queries about staffi ng changes had been “communicated directly with service users, including a letter to all of our clients and a telephone hotline”.

The spokeswoman said improved technological tools for home-visiting nurses would “enhance the high standard of care that our clients receive in their own homes.”

She said it was incorrect to say RDNS offi ces were “being replaced by mobile teams equipped with laptops to make house calls”.

“The service was set up 130 years ago to

provide nursing in people’s houses: that’s what it has always done, and will continue to do.

“The only thing that has changed is that front-line staff are being assigned into new care teams focused on smaller geographic areas, and also the relocation of administrative functions to four new regional hubs.”

A rival in-home-care company last week criticised the RDNS cuts, saying the need and demand for local offi ces was greater than ever “and for the RDNS to be putting technology ahead of patient health is a disgrace”.

Prestige Inhome Care CEO Nick McDonald, which has offi ces in Mornington, said the level and availability of personal, face-to-face, quality interaction would be “drastically reduced as companies like RDNS try to further expand and adopt technology and forget about those they are servicing”.

“The RDNS may argue that adopting technology and closing local offi ces is the way of the times and more effi cient, but how do you explain this to the sick, elderly man or the young woman sick with cancer who looks forward to this personal interaction/care service in their home.

“This could be the one thing that is helping to keep them alive.”

The registered nurse and community care expert works in the same industry, but says he is “part of a growing movement towards in-home/community care support for that personal, quality and reliable level of care”.

“We are actually expanding our services and adding nurses and adding offi ces throughout Melbourne and Victoria as we genuinely value the care of our patients/clients over expensive expansion and technology innovations,” he said.

“We are open to discussing taking on some of these nurses that have lost their jobs to ensure that patient care is not compromised and we can continue to provide such a vital community service. Just like we continue to put on new directors of nursing - not cut them.”

Fears over nurse cutsFears over nurse cuts

WHILE federal government MPs engage in fl ip-fl op politics over who should be leading the country as prime minister, Seaford artist Tony Sowersby is concentrating his brand of satire on the Treasurer, Joe Hockey.

One of Sowersby’s entries in this year’s Bald Archy Prize depicts a post-meal, dinner-suited Mr Hockey with a cigar and brandy balloon. But what stands out is that under the table, the seemingly well fed politician is also clutching a wooden club.

Asked if he sees "Jovial Joe" as a contender, Sowersby replies: “No, not for the prime minister's job - don't be ridiculous - but for the Bald Archy prize.”

Sowersby’s other entry for the prize portrays media commentator Andrew Bolt with an egg splattered over his front for his over-the-top accolades of Tony Abbott.

“When the grateful Australian na-tion eventually erects a statue of Joe Hockey these words will appear on the base: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludg-ers a lesson they’ll never forget.

Sowersby gave “thanks” to Brian De Palma, Robert De Niro and the “Statue De Liberty” for inspiring his verse.

Mr Hockey wields a baseball bat in Sowersby’s Bald Archy Prize entry in homage to director Brian De Palma’s 1987 The Untouchables movie featuring Robert De Niro as notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone.

A professional artist for more than 30 years, Sowersby has won the Peo-ple’s Choice for the Bald Archy Prize for satirical portraiture four times, including in 2014.

Treasurer trying for main prizeTreasurer trying for main prize

In 2005 he won the prize with his portrait of George Pell and Tony Abbott entitled “The Cardinal with his Abbott”.

Since the early 1980s Sowersby has worked in both com-munity and public art, most often as a muralist, but also as a cartoonist and comic book writer and illustrator.

He has painted and directed hundreds of murals, mainly on the Mornington Peninsula but also elsewhere in Victoria and in Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Papua New Guinea.

In 2013 a book of his satirical art was published, The Political Landscape.

The 2015 winner of the $10,000 Bald Archy Prize will be announced in Sydney on 25 July. Fran Henke

THE humanitarian clowns bus is coming… hopefully.

The charity group, which believes laughter is the best medicine to cheer up the ill and disadvantaged, is aiming to raise enough money to buy a Laughter Bus.

Chief clown Tim Webster said he had been diagnosed with leukaemia at a young age and “received a lot of community support” and this is the inspiration behind setting up the Humanitarians Clown group, which was granted offi cial charity status in July last year.

The 33-year-old said he wants to “bring happiness to others”.

He visited Africa and in “a life changing moment” he saw some orphaned children playing cards and showed them a magic trick.

“They wanted to see more … I went to get more magic tricks and I walked out and there were about 150 community members so that was where the Humanitarian Clowns fi rst started.

“It opened up doors and created a great environment.”

After years of clowning around all over the world, putting on shows to promote happiness, he and his mother Margueritte Flower were invited to work with the US doctor and clown Patch Adams, portrayed by the late Robin Williams in the 1998 fi lm of the same name, in Costa Rica.

Pearcedale based Humanitarian Clowns has partnered with Peninsula Health to spread joy to local hospitals including The Mornington Centre for rehabilitation patients.

Now they hope to take their show on the road.

The group is planning to add a “meals on wheels” service while travelling around Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula, Kingston, Cranbourne and Dandenong.

“We’re hoping to get some welfare agencies on board the bus … and provide food to the homeless and boarding houses … we’ll have some music and instruments to make it a bit more fun,” Mr Webster said.

The clowns will also visit youth groups to teach troubled youngsters circus tricks.

See gofundme.com/laughterbus for donation details or call Tim Webster on 0430 562 887. All donations are tax-deductible.

Laughter the best medicineLaughter the best medicine


ABORIGINAL leader Carolyn Briggs wants the state government to honour an agreement for development at Point Nepean agreed to by the previous gov-ernment and private developer, Point Leisure Group.

“Point Nepean is a culturally sig-nifi cant place for the Boon Wurrung people, the fi rst peoples of the coastal area of the Mornington Peninsula. I also appreciate that it also shares an important part of Melbourne and Vic-toria’s contemporary history – this de-velopment by the Point Leisure Group is a great opportunity for us to work together to celebrate our shared histo-ry,” Ms Briggs, chairman of the Boon Wurrung Foundation, said.

“We welcome the proposal and we are looking forward to working with Point Leisure Group to bring the In-digenous history of Point Nepean to the forefront through interpretation, a dedicated indigenous museum onsite, indigenous tours, cultural programs, events and the many opportunities for employment.”

The involvement on Friday of Ms Briggs follows revelations that Envi-ronment Minister Lisa Neville is seek-ing talks with Point Leisure Group owners, Richard and Trine Shelmer-dine, with a view to renegotiating the lease signed just before last year’s 29 November state election.

Ms Shelmerdine told The News on Friday week that Point Leisure Group had asked to meet with Labor before and since the election and she was confi dent “the meeting will happen”. However, there would be no comment from her or her husband until that had taken place.

As with the cancelled East West Link project, there have been suggestions the government could face a claim for compensation if it reneges on the lease.

The day after the Coalition lost to Labor, Nepean MP Martin Dixon warned that ripping up the Point Ne-pean lease could lead to compensation being sought by the developer.

“They [Labor] haven’t said it offi -cially, but maybe it’s another contract [as well as the East West Link] to be ripped up,” he said.

“The proponent has already expend-ed some money and maybe would ex-pect some compensation.”

Mr Dixon said he did not know of any compensation clause in the lease given to the Point Leisure group head-ed by the Shelmerdines.

Now in opposition, Mr Dixon was last week back barracking for Point Leisure group, but this time encour-aging the government “to engage di-rectly with the Point Leisure Group to discuss how the current lease, if nec-essary, could be revised”. (‘Point to negotiate’, Letters, Page 12)

The lease was signed less than four months after then Premier Denis

History ‘shared’ History ‘shared’ with point planwith point planKeith [email protected]

Napthine said Point Nepean Group’s $100 million proposal [later revised down to $40m] “strikes the right balance be-tween leisure and learning activities” with Melbourne Uni-versity operating a marine education and research precinct.

The former government said the group’s proposal would “transform the iconic site into a world-class tourist destina-tion and education precinct”.

The land affected by the lease - originally put at 17 hec-tares but later shown to be 64ha - included car parks, the parade ground and Wombat and Jarman ovals.

Long-time Point Nepean National Park campaigner Kate Baillieu said no single developer should be given control of the Quarantine Precinct.

A news release from the Boon Wurrung Foundation said Ms Briggs “has reiterated her support for the proposed de-velopment of Point Nepean by the Point Leisure Group”.

“Carolyn has been active in promoting the Boon Wurrung heritage on the Mornington Peninsula by actively support-ing the protection of its indigenous heritage and history,” the news release stated.

“She had been a member of the Point Nepean Trust and has an intimate knowledge of the history and culture of the area.

“Carolyn has been actively supporting and promoting the rich indigenous heritage of the area through education; by engagement with the local community and through support for tourism programs that integrate the local indigenous heritage.”

Ms Briggs was quoted as saying: “We will not achieve the promotion of our Indigenous heritage by locking away such signifi cant sites as Point Nepean. We want to see sustainable development that can actively promote our heritage and cre-ate employment opportunities.”

Ties that bind: Carolyn Briggs of the Boon Wurrung Foundation says Point Nepean Group’s plans for Point Nepean presents “a great opportunity ... to celebrate our shared history”.Picture: Yanni

POLICE night-time bicycle patrols in Morning-ton and Mt Martha are part public relations exer-cise and part crime detection.

Acting Sergeant Neil Prosser said Operation Night Rider from 7pm-3am had been successful in getting the safety-and-security message to resi-dents as well as detecting thefts from vehicles.

“On the fi rst part of the patrols, police can ride along footpaths and talk to residents who, for ex-ample, are putting their bins out or arriving home

from the pool with their kids, and remind them about locking their cars and home security,” he said of the summer-long exercise.

“In the latter part of the night they can talk to youths on the streets and see what they are up to, or patrol parks and the foreshore.

“While on the bikes they can also see and hear more than they could in a car and this helps in detecting crimes, especially thefts from cars.”

THE disgusting weather has seen Emu at his workstation, trawling. His Blushing Bride has been in her study, also trawling. And a rich catch we have uncovered on the internet. Mrs Emu believes 2015 bids fair to be a wonderful 12 months if this keeps up.

“Look at what I’ve found!” she expostulates, bounding into the Emu’s enclave, waving her electronic tablet wildly, perilously close to the ancestral chandelier. “A treasure trove!”

On her screen is a website, righttoknow.org.au, which lists dozens – perhaps scores, even hundreds – of offi cial organisations from which information can be sought under Freedom of Information laws. The BB’s eyes are glowing coal-red with excitement.

“What information do I need to demand from the Aged Care Commissioner?” she says thoughtfully, scanning the alphabetical list. Instantly changing tack, she types “emu” into the search panel and clicks her mouse. Instant disappointment. It fi nds fi ve tribunals containing the word “remuneration”: a word that contains “emu”.

She gives Emu a sour look. “We’re under-represented,” she sniffs. “I need to fi nd someone I can FoI about it – we’re on the national coat of arms, after all.” And off she fl ounces, tail feath-ers quivering with either indignation or anticipa-tion, or both, at the thought of a new Mission. For Mrs Emu, no Mission is impossible.

Emu ponders the Mission, weighing pluses and minuses. Pluses: it will keep Mrs Emu occupied, and therefore closeted in her study; but (minuses) it could send household bills for stamps, reams of A4 and envelopes through the bark roof and clog the roadside mail box with FoI refusals. And a fee must be paid to lodge FoI requests.

All things considered, Emu favours the plus side of the ledger and calls up the website.

It contains 589 public authorities, from “AAF Company”, which provides “discounted holiday accommodation to members of the Australian

Army and other eligible members and funding for projects for which the use of public funds is inappropriate” through federal ministers to “Youth 20 planning Group”, added on 13 April last year, with which no one has yet lodged an FoI request.

Also feeling neglected, or blessedly ignored, are Wine Australia Corporation and the Takeo-vers Panel. Safe Work Australia is subject of one request, an occupational health and safety issue at a Sorrento store. It was refused in a letter beginning with a chatty “Hi [woman’s name redacted]”.

The site informs Emu that “Right To Know

is another project from the Open Australia Foundation”, which also runs openaustralia.org and sites on election leafl ets, planning alerts and one titled intriguingly “They Vote For You”. A veritable cornucopia – Emu may not see his spouse until spring. He wonders if he can do an FoI on the Open Australia Foundation.

Emu clicks on Planning Alerts – “Email alerts of planning applications near you,” it promises, and invites Emu to enter an address. He speci-fi es “Emu Ruo”, the upmarket family humpy. Up pop some 30 local planning applications, some in surrounding thoroughfares Emu was not even aware existed.

They cover new dwellings, alterations, addi-tions, outbuildings, vegetation removal, “vari-ation of licence” applied for at the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regula-tion, removal of lots of hay fever-inducing pine trees, development of a free range chicken shed (do free range chickens live in sheds? Emu suspects the site reveals more information than even that provided on the shire’s easy to access open and transparent website.

Next spot searched was in Boneo Rd at Cape Schanck. It turned up “clubhouse redevelop-ment”, with information supplied from the vaults of the Mornington Peninsula Shire, and a nearby application regarding an “easement”, apparently lodged by Streamlined Planning, accessed through Electronic Applications and Referrals.

Could the fi rst be the RACV club’s application for a new fi ve-storey facility, and the second be part of the Williams family’s sale of 20-hectare green wedge land parcels to the reclusive rich?

Emu might mention these to his inquisitive spouse. She may be interested in some extensive fi eldwork, the periscope-like emu neck being a great advantage in accomplishing such inves-tigatory enterprises, popping up over fences unobserved.

Mrs Emu, a gumshoe, absent from the haci-enda for days at a time! Splendid idea.

All complaints to the shire “should be analysed and reported formally with the objective of tak-ing actions to signifi cantly reduce them”.

“One important measure of customer satisfac-tion would be to task the shire’s Ombudsman li-aison offi cer to provide detailed reports [to coun-cil] on complaints and to look for consistencies that could be addressed and develop programs to eradicate these complaints,” Mr Lenzo said.

The concern should be more with the categories of complaints than a specifi c complaint, which would give clear and concise direction where to start the work.

“However, it might be necessary to look into the detail of complaints to identify the systemic failures.

The issues most complained about to local government were the way councils handled com-plaints (23 per cent); parking (14 per cent); rates (10 per cent); and planning (9 per cent).

Other common areas of complaint in local gov-ernment last year included: Other enforcement and regulatory activities in areas such as building, animals, local laws and nuisances. Facilities owned or controlled by councils; for example roads and parks.

“A standard should be set for the Mornington Peninsula Shire to be in the lowest category of complaints to the Ombudsman,” Mr Lenzo said in his analysis.

He said a very high percentage of the most routine instances were handled quite effi ciently, “and that deserves to be commended. However, the question must be asked: what about the oth-ers? Why are they not being handled in accord-ance with the [shire’s] service quality standards?”

“The objective should be to resolve the issue, not to stonewall the complainer and labelling him or her a pest, as has occurred in the past,” Mr Lenzo said. “Complaints to the shire should be compiled in the same manner as complaints to the Ombudsman, with the same intention – of identi-fying systemic failures and correcting them.”

ONCE offshore from Frankston on Tuesday, the Peninsula on the Bay building was the only man-made object that could challenge the height of a drilling rig being towed through Port Phillip to Western Port.

The “legs” of the West Telesto soared 170 metres above the deck and attendant tugs, Skandi Atlantic, Go Capella and Keera.

Destined to look for gas under Bass Strait, the self-elevating drilling unit was delivered to Port Phillip from Singapore the previous week by the semi-submersible heavy transport ship MV Target.

The converted oil tanker is able to use its buoyancy tanks to lower and raise itself in the water to allow heavy cargoes, such as drilling platforms to be taken on board.

Western Port harbourmaster Shane Vedamuttu said the drill rig would remain at the Anchorage off Phillip Island for up to four weeks before being towed to Bass Strait.

Origin Energy, in a notifi cation to shipping, said the rig would take two days to clear Port Phillip, eventually being taken to the Origin Energy Yolla gas platform.

While in Western Port, the West Telesto’s legs will be lowered and pinned into position to stabilise the rig while it is fi tted with supplies and equipment for the drilling works at the Yolla platform.

The West Telesto is described as a self-elevating drilling unit designed for all-year, Central North Sea, harsh-environment operation in ap-proximately 400 feet (122 metres) of

New heights reached in search for gasNew heights reached in search for gas

water.The West Telesto has quarters for

140 and deck area of 2845 square metres.

While under tow by the tugs the rig’s speed was limited to four knots or less, well below the eight to nine

knots that the MV Target could have travelled on the way from Singapore.

For the technically minded, the Telesto’s manufacturers say it “rep-resents the latest generation of high effi ciency jack-ups suitable for opera-tions worldwide”.

“The rig offers numerous improve-ments including increased deck-space compared to other designs, accom-modation for 140 men, the ability to jack with 100 per cent preload, optimised pipe handling to facilitate ‘off-line’ stand-building, more power-

ful mud pumps and a dual mud system which will allow for the effi cient and simultaneous handling of drilling and completion fl uids.”

It was built at the Dalian shipyard, China in 2012 and sails under the fl ag of Panama. Keith Platt

Difficult to proveDifficult to prove Keith Platt (‘High priestess defends swami’s actions’, The News 27/1/15) gives a very fair and well-balanced account of the problems currently be-setting the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga in Mt Eliza and its spiritual guru Swami Shankarananda.

Claims of sexual impropriety are of-ten levelled against swamis and other holy men, here and in India. Usually these are diffi cult to verify and often they are not true.

It is also the case that when the head of a major lineage dies or is replaced there is a succession struggle, because the larger lineages often control large material assets such as property and money, frequently donated by devotees.

Vilasini Reukers in her letter (‘Guru the victim’) about the swami makes seven points in his defence. In the fi rst of these she claims, “He is recognised as one of the greatest scholars of Kashmir Shaivism.” This seems very much exaggerated. In over 30 years of teaching Sanskrit and ancient Indian studies at La Trobe University I have never come across his name as author of any scholarly work on Kashmir Shaivism. No doubt he has read some of the relevant texts in translation, but he cannot be regarded as a scholar in this area.

Nor can I think of what a high priestess would be, as Ms Reukers claims to be. This is not a position that is found in Hinduism.Dr Greg Bailey, La Trobe University

Marina concernsMarina concernsMornington Peninsula Shire is about to amend the planning scheme (amendment C161) to allow the devel-opment of 180, mostly three-storey, resort-style tourist accommodation units at Yaringa marina, Somerville, plus conference facilities and 14 sup-port staff accommodation units.

When this was initially proposed I objected to the inclusion of tourist ac-commodation in the sensitive area in which Yaringa is situated. The marina plans will encroach on this area and these appear to have been well con-sidered in terms of the effect on the environment. Marina development of necessity must be on the shoreline.

However, there is little evidence that I can fi nd of any consideration as to why the tourist units must be in the same area.

Why could they not be located inland from the marina out of the sen-sitive coastal area? Two car spaces are provided for each unit plus guest park-ing, so it is expected that most tenants will have cars and, for those without, bikes or other means of transport to the marina could be provided.

I can fi nd no views in the documents of the expected appearance of these

units from Western Port. There is a statement that "they will generally be below the existing tree line and will not be visible from outside the site": generally is a worrying term.

I can fi nd no evidence of any con-sideration of the impact of the accom-modation units on local fauna. While the marina is probably reasonably quiet at night, I imagine the accom-modation area will be anything but quiet and the impact of cars, people, noise, rubbish and lights among other things will devastate the fauna of the area and impact the quiet and dark of the bay for those trying to enjoy it.

One of the conditions imposed by the shire in initial considerations (as refl ected in the council minutes of 22 July 2013) was "That there is an open public exhibition process and provision for independent considera-tion of submissions." I see little or no evidence of this occurring. The documents are on the shire website but there has been no discussion in the local newspapers or in [the shire’s newsletter] Peninsula Wide that I can locate.

I received no informative response from the consultants, the federal minister or the council regarding my initial expression of concern and there is no evidence in the current plans or documents that it was even consid-ered. I am aware of the fi nal step to amend the planning permit only because I made a submission when the plans were fi rst made public.

I have until 16 February to make a submission with regard to this and will be pleased to hear from other concerned residents in order to ensure that this covers the issues as well as possible.

Rates cap welcomeRates cap welcomeThe comments by Kris Bolam (‘Rate cap divides’, The News, 3/2/15) are disappointing. The former Frankston mayor is either unaware or does not care that council rates, includ-ing Frankston which is one of the worst offenders, have risen out of all proportion over the past decade and continued increases are simply not sustainable.

By any measure councils’ rate increases have been outrageous. For example, the rises in the past 10 years are three times more than CPI; twice the actual increase in costs incurred by the local government; three times more than the increase in wages; four times the increase in pensions; and the fourth highest of 40 household ex-penditures measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Both the previous Liberal and current Labor governments have indi-cated their concern with the dispro-portionate increase in council rates. When councils (and their peak body the Municipal Association of Victoria)

are warned they must live within their means, councillors and administrators react in a spurious and self-indulgent defence with little concern for their ratepayers.

In 2006 the three tiers of govern-ment entered into an inter-govern-mental agreement which required that when a responsibility is devolved to local government, local government is consulted and the fi nancial and other impacts are to be taken into account. The agreement expired in 2011 and councils only have themselves to blame if they have allowed cross charging by other tiers of government to occur and for the agreement not to be renegotiated.

The new government is to be commended and the minister has the power under the Local Government Act, under which councils operate, to curb excessive rate increases imposed by unsympathetic councils.

No longer will councils have a “bucket of cash” to spend every year and they will have to live within their means as do those who have fi xed incomes, receive smaller increases in salaries and wages, or own businesses in the competitive environment.

Alan Nelsen, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’

Association

Port to proceedPort to proceedWhat a farce the Hastings Port project has become (and always was) from the point of view of anyone who thought such huge projects should be approved by the people who have to live with them and pay for them: the people of Victoria.

We have a representative parliamen-tary democracy in name only.

For many months before the elec-tion the ALP’s shadow ports minister Natalie Hutchens was a loud and committed opponent to this massive project. She even endured bullying during a public debate in Hastings. She appeared at meetings from Cowes to Geelong. People knew that a vote for the ALP was a vote for the mas-sive new container port to be built elsewhere.

They didn’t need to vote for a candidate standing on this single issue (me), although they should have done that and preferenced the ALP before the Liberals to make their opposition to this project clear.

The greenie groups around Western Port, preening themselves in their moral vanity, absurdly declaring themselves “apolitical”, wearing special T-shirts and warbling feeble impersonations of Joni Mitchell, were not even being prepared to stiffen the spine of the ALP in its initial Hastings port opposition.

These self-righteous ideologues could not see past even their group think personality politics to actually

do anything or support anyone even if that was their only real road to oppos-ing the port. What did they do? Well of course they were actually political and voted for the Greens who had done a deal with Clive Palmer. That is where the Western Port Green vote went: to a coal miner.

So the ALP was devious enough to not make Natalie the new ports minister. It has installed another chap who is not burdened personally with her anti-port rhetoric. He can now charge full steam ahead with the huge Hastings port development.

He doesn’t really have to do much, just go into the Port of Hastings Development Authority’s propaganda offi ce in High St and get the latest developments. Yes, it is still open and the cheerful girls are still there.

And this time there is nothing any of you can do about it, unless you’re up for a spot of sabotage and 10 years in the slammer. And that wouldn’t make even a ripple upon the well-insured brave new waters of this splendid twin to the desal plant, the Hastings container port, both visible from here at Tortoise Head.

Protection neededProtection neededThe Mornington Peninsula still has some remnants of natural or near natural environment. Sadly, these pockets of refuge for local fauna and fl ora (some of which are seriously endangered) are under constant threat.

They should not be treated as a tradeable commodity by some devel-opers for personal gain.

The practice by developers to be able to buy some parcel of land, sometimes a long way away from the planned development, as an offset for the lost environment is not a sustain-able way of keeping the few places of refuge on our peninsula.

Sometimes it is even worse and the developer pays just a sum of money to council to be more or less let off responsibilities to look after the com-munity’s interests.

The Tootgarook wetland, Arthurs Seat gondola and the Yaringa harbour developments are just some of the examples of these precious pockets of nature under threat. We really can't afford to continuously nibble away at these refuges for our native fl ora and fauna, or the peninsula will end up like some of the places currently developed as the new suburbs of Mel-bourne, an ecological wasteland and future slum in our society.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Point to negotiatePoint to negotiatePreservation of the Quarantine Sta-tion precinct [at Point Nepean] is important. I was disappointed to see comments from Environment Min-ister Lisa Neville, which places the

precinct development at Point Nepean under immediate threat.

The need for a limited commercial development on this site has been discussed for many years and has always been accepted as a sensible way to preserve this historic precinct for wider public enjoyment well into the future.

It is worth noting that over 80 per cent of the buildings included in the lease [to the Point Leisure Group] are already locked away from the public and that this current proposal will open these buildings up to public use for the fi rst time. Importantly, the long-term local benefi ts that will fl ow from this project are the direct em-ployment of up to 400 people, as well as providing a much-needed boost for all Mornington Peninsula tourism operators.

Tourism is our largest employer and our key economic driver and this proposal will directly improve the employment prospects of our young people for generations to come.

I encourage Ms Neville to engage directly with the Point Leisure Group to discuss how the current lease, if necessary, could be revised while at the same time ensuring that we pre-serve the key benefi ts it was deliver-ing to everyone on the peninsula and beyond.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Dog problemsDog problemsThe new signs regulating dogs on the on the foreshore between Tyrone and Blairgowrie look good, but obviously have a glaring omission. The word “optional” should have been included.

At any time of the day dogs can been seen on the beach, mostly off leads and, to make matters worse, are often fouling the foreshore or beach with owners ignoring the end product and not picking up.

A recent call to Mornington Penin-sula Shire about this only frustrated the matter further as the response was ‘I think this is the responsibility of Parks Victoria’.

Are these dog owners just too im-portant to follow local laws and don’t care if the bay is further polluted?

Help appreciatedHelp appreciatedI wish to sincerely thank the person who drove my husband from True-mans Rd to the Rosebud police station on Tuesday 16 December, 2014.

My husband has Alzheimer’s dis-ease and had gone for a walk from his new home. We had been frantically looking for him for two and a half hours.

I would love to thank the very car-ing person personally.

A MT Martha woman grieving the death of her mum eased her pain by writing about the experience, and received unexpected inspiration from others. Now she has written a book about it.

Leigh Van Der Horst’s mother Joanne died of cancer in 2008. “I was 32 and had three young boys – it crushed me,” she said.

“The grieving process took a huge toll on me, and all the while I had to continue to selfl essly mother my boys and protect them from the heavy sadness.”

At the time of her mother’s diagnosis, Ms Van Der Horst began to write about what she was going through, and continued to write until she felt that her “soul had healed”.

“Without My Mum is a three-part book that begins with my story, told through the journal entries, and summaries of events at the time,” she said.

“It is honest and raw but also inspiring, as going through this harrowing experience changed me forever and for the better.”

Ms Van Der Horst, a nurse, said that when her mother died she couldn’t fi nd any comfort or advice on the subject from books or online. As a result she created what she craved as she knew others would also be desperately yearning for something similar.

“To this day there is nothing like my book and that makes me very proud,” she said.

“To confi rm the need for such a book, I was inundated with orders,” she said. “Within 24 hours of the order link going live, I sold 124 books Australia-wide and double that worldwide.”

As Ms Van Der Horst was piecing Section 1 of the book together, she was also “dabbling in my little blog” and fi nding that whenever she touched on the subject of miss-ing her mum, the response was overwhelming.

“Mothers in similar situations to me, from all around the world, would leave comments about how much they struggled too, and that they felt so alone in their grief,” she said.

“It dawned on me the book was desperately necessary to connect us all in a way that comforted and supported us on our continuing mothering journeys.

“The thought led me to reach out to many women around the world – with the help of wonderful women in media such as Jools Oliver [Jamie Oliver’s wife].”

In return, she received contributions of stories not only of loss but also amazing strength and happiness.

“These stories make up Section 2 of my book. They are heartfelt and honest and the truly beautiful thing was just how open and giving all of these women were. I know the stories will uplift and inspire so many.

“I felt there was still a missing piece of the book so created the fi nal section, a collection of motherly wisdom ideal for mothers like myself who no longer have our own mums to ask.

“I tirelessly worked to bring attention to all of the requests via the internet and then went through and edited all of the wonderful words that mothers worldwide had graciously sent me for the book.”

The section received so much support worldwide she had to enforce a cut-off date as there was too much to fi t in one book.

“Motherly wisdom came not only from fabulous eve-ryday mums but also from amazing women such as Jane Kennedy, Jo Stanley, Deborah Thomas, Amanda Holden, Livinia Nixon, Lisa Wilkinson, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Jools Oliver, Angela Mollard, Amanda de Cadenet, Re-becca Judd, Megan Gale and Georgie Gardner.

“The result is a very rich, encouraging and honest sec-tion that will be looked at over and over.”

Ms Van Der Horst funded the entire process of writing, editing, cover design, artwork and photography.

“It has been a long process but very worth it and satisfy-ing,” she said.

“The book is for women who feel deeply sad and lost as I did and my wish is that they will feel stronger and hope-ful of a happy future without their mum by their side all the while knowing they are not alone.”

THE Mornington Rotary art show fi nished on Australia Day with a suc-cessful closing sale.

Convenor David Benson said many artists had discounted their artwork during the afternoon to make a fi nal major contribution to Rotary’s local, national and international projects.

“There were so many contributions to the art show from sponsors and art-ists and a great response by members of the community who viewed the show or purchased artworks,” Mr Benson said.

“While fi nal fi gures are not yet available it appears that exhibition proceeds will exceed last year.”

Major sponsors were Mornington Peninsula News Group, Beleura House and Gardens and Watsons, with 41 other businesses contributing to art, raffl e or door prizes and running costs.

“Many compliments were received about the quality of the artwork in this year’s show and the way it was displayed,” Mr Benson said.

“In addition to the contribution of artists in submitting artworks, the show was enhanced by the fi ve local artists who daily painted live, creating examples of their artwork.

“The Art-4-Kids feature of this year’s exhibition produced a stun-

ning seaside mural. The contribu-tion of a group of VCE art students enriched one of these sessions and complemented the excellent display of VCE art which was included in the exhibition.”

Raffl e prize winners: fi rst prize, Glenn Davies, Mornington (Bunnings Warehouse trailer and garden goods); second, Trish and Clive Wellington, Mornington (Big4 accommodation voucher); and third, Joy Kohn, Morn-ington (Cameron Menswear: RM Williams clothing or footwear):

Eileen Prudden bought a painting donated by Hermann Schwaiger in the silent auction.

THE West Channel pile light is one of several resting places for seals living in Port Phillip.

Lying on the wooden beams of the light fi rst built in 1881, the seals are used to being the centre of attraction for passing boats.

The seals also provide entertainment and lessons in natural history for di-vers and passengers aboard the “swim with the dolphinstours.

However, they also come ashore to

rest and the Department of Environ-ment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has issued a warning that it is illegal to feed seals.

“Australian fur seals are large crea-tures with sharp teeth and may look harmless, but can be aggressive and cause serious injury if people get too close to them,” DELWP senior wild-life Offi cer Samantha Moore said.

“Seals are wild, fast and strong animals and may be carrying infec-

tious diseases that can be passed onto people and dogs.

“Seals often rest on beaches and will eventually move on, but only if people leave them alone and don’t encourage them to stay by feeding them.”

Ms Moore said seals can become dependent and aggressive if they get used to interacting with humans.

“In these cases, intervention may be necessary to remove dangerous seals from the area – an option which we

never want to resort to.”Marine regulations state that people

must remain at least 30 metres from a seal on land and 5m away on a structure such as a jetty or pier. Dogs must not be allowed to approach within 50m of a seal on land, unless on a leash.

Ms Moore said Australian fur seals are recognised internationally as a signifi cant species and protected under the Wildlife Act 1975.

MOONRAKER Dolphin Swims has launched its impressive 12.5-metre Bronze Wing.

The rigid hulled infl atable was built by Woody Marine Fabrication in Queensland and is powered by four 300hp Yamaha outboards.

With a top speed of 36 knots this purpose built boat is designed for speed and comfort.

Customers can move around, mak-ing it suited for viewing wildlife.

“This boat will take dolphin and seal viewing to a new level,” manag-ing director Torie Mackinnon said.

“Bronze Wing was designed to pro-vide our customers with the ultimate viewing experience.”

The boat leaves Sorrento pier daily, taking customers to see bottlenose dolphins and fur seals, explore the The Rip and visit Pope’s Eye Marine Park to see gannets and chicks.

There’s also a leisurely cruise along the waterfront from Sorrento to Portsea and the Ticonderoga Bay Dolphin Sanctuary near Pt Nepean.

A highlight is three hour snorkeling adventures with seals and dolphins.

Bronze Wing: ‘Ultimate viewing experience’.

A DEBT collection firm with links to underworld identity Mick Gatto is setting up shop in Hastings.

Gatto Corporate Solutions Pty Ltd, a debt purchasing company which buys debts then pursues cred-itors for the money owed, has leased office space in High St, opposite Hastings Library.

Gatto’s surname is on the office window but the former boss of the notorious Carlton Crew is not a current co-owner of the business despite initially owning one third of its parent company Gatto Corp, via a private company, when it was formed in 2009.

Gatto Corporate Solutions manag-ing director Anthony Swords told The News he is the sole shareholder and “Mick’s my mentor”.

He said the firm “does everything” in the building industry and horse racing industry.

“Everyone thinks it’s just a debt collection office but it’s not. We set up companies as well, give business advice, do mediation and negotia-tions when people try to buy or start a business.”

Mr Swords said he has signed a two-year lease for the “satellite of-fice” for Gatto Corporate Solutions.

The firm also has an office in Point Cook. Mr Swords said “cheap rent” and the Hastings location is appealing.

“I’ve got a farm in Junction Vil-lage so I’m only 15 minutes away.

“It’s a good place to be … the shop there is pretty much what I was pay-ing for my car park in the city.”

He said Gatto Corporate Solutions has signed a two-year lease with fur-ther options at the Hastings, High St office and “a minimum” of three ad-min staff will be based there.

“I run out of Lygon St – I have most of my meetings in Lygon St in Carlton,” Mr Swords said.

The Hastings office also has the company name Victorian Racing Collections Pty Ltd emblazoned on its window.

“That is primarily a debt collec-tion agency,” Mr Swords said.

“It’s all over Victoria but obvi-ously there’s a lot of trainers out Western Port way and Cranbourne way so it’s just convenient to be out here.”

The Gatto Corporate Solutions website states some outstanding debt cases “require more vigorous action”. When asked what this en-tailed, Mr Swords said it could in-clude legal action.

“It might mean you go to court … I have a couple of solicitors who work for me and everything we do is done legally but the way we work is we assign people’s debts so we take them on and they’re our own. So we collect them however we want.”

The Hastings premises leased to Gatto Corporate Solutions will also be a base for fundraising volunteers for a charity called We Were Cham-pions which saves racehorses from the knackery.

Gatto’s mate gets ready to collect debts

New tenant: Mick Gatto (inset right) associate Anthony Swords (inset left) of Gatto Corporate Solutions has leased an offi ce, above, in Hastings. Inset picture supplied

We Were Champions was granted official charity status in 2013 and was established by Gatto Corporate Solutions.

Mr Swords said since it had tak-en “over a month” to get the lease sorted out he “knew a bit” about

Hastings and is impressed with the Renew Hastings project which fills empty shopfronts with “pop-up shops” including spaces to exhibit artists’ works.

“This could be a good chance for Hastings as well … some of the

things we do is help people set up their own business.

“There’s a good future for Hast-ings with the port coming in. It’s just a nice little place.”

Gatto Corporate Solutions will of-ficially open for business next week.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Hastings railway works in full swingHastings railway works in full swingCompiled by Melissa WalshTHE appointment of Mr C.W. Grant, of Mornington Junction as a J.P. has been gazetted.

***Mr J. Hall, storekeeper at Seymour, visited Frankston last weekend and purchased a building allotment in this locality.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason held their usual monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday last, when there was a fair yarding.

***MR E. Quiggin, one of Shepparton’s leading ironmongers, is at present spending a few weeks holiday at Frankston House.

***THE Shire of Frankston and Hast-ings are calling for tenders in this is-sue, returnable on Wednesday next, for sheeting, etc on Cranbourne road. Tenders are to be addressed to Cr W. J. Oates, Frankston.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their next fortnightly produce sale at Frankston Mart on the 24th inst (not the 17th), on account of the fi rm hold-ing a clearing sale of furniture on the latter date.

***INTENDING competitors at the Flin-ders Naval Base Sport, which take place on the 6th March, are notifi ed that nominations close on Monday, 22nd February, and acceptances on the 2nd of March.

***

HOUSEHOLDERS residing within the garbage area of Frankston are noti-fi ed that they must provide proper lids to all garbage tins. Failing to do so the contractor for removal of same will be instructed to report same.

***MOTOR Garage Pty. Ltd. has opened a branch garage at Mornington and installed two cars therein. The garage is in charge of Mr. W Bradbury, an expert mechanic and driver, late of Nagambie.

***THE Moorooduc Progress Associa-tion intend celebrating the opening of their new building on Wednesday, 7th April, by holding a sale of gifts, at which patrons and friends are cor-dially invited to be present. The fete will open at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

***YOUNG men wishing to learn rifl e shooting are requested to attend a pub-lic meeting in the Frankston Mechan-ics’ Hall on Monday evening next, called at the instance of the Frankston Rifl e Club, when addresses will he given by several gentlemen interested in the movement.

***THE following local candidates were successful at the Commonwealth public service examination held on 9th January for the appointment of telegraph messengers:— Mornington —Albert Coxhall, 364 marks: Clyde J. H. Byles, 301. Alexander C. Hutchins, 225. Sorrento — Morris L. Copoloy, 292 marks: Alfred R. Eldred, 241.

***

MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a large clearing sale of superior house hold furniture and effects on Wednes-day next, on the premises, corner of Fiocchi Avenue and Melbourne road, by order of Mrs Crockett, who is leav-ing the district, consisting of the whole of her superior furnishings, being the contents of a 10 roomed villa. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock sharp.

***THE prize list of the Somerville Fruit-growers’ Association for their forth-coming show, which takes place on 10th March, will be published in our next issue. The committee have met with generous support from the gen-eral public and the donations given this year are quite equal to any pre-viously given. At the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings council a motion was carried to invite the State Governor to open the Show, and if His Excellency decides to accept the invi-tation it will doubtless mean a large in-fl ux in the number at those who attend.

***THE Treasurer of the Frankston

Patriotic Fund desires to acknowl-edge a donation of £9 2s 1d from the Frankston Campers’ New Year’s Eve Carnival, through Mr C. P. Watson, the manager of the State Savings Bank.

The result is very gratifying. The carnival, of which we gave a

full report at the time, was entertain-ing and amusing and served besides to keep the more volatile individuals away from the mischief which has been done on some New Year’s Eves in the past.

The amount has been earmarked for the Belgian Relief Fund.

***ON February 6th the Toxteth Concert Co, headed by Mr George Cowley, the well known singer, gave a successful concert in the Carrum Hall.

The entertainment was up to the usual quality given by this company, encores being the order of the evening.

Miss McNair and Miss Edith Thom-as acted ‘My lady’s diamonds’ in a brisk manner, which highly amused the audience.

The Toxteth glee party gave several party songs and proved a harmonious item.

Mr Percy Conroy was the humorist and proved a capable one.

Miss Mabel Down, a young com-poser, played several piano duets, and was an effi cient accompanist.

Mr George Cowley, one of Mel-bourne’s foremost singers, sang in his usual artistic style. This singer has one of the best voices heard in this district, and was accorded a hearty reception.

Miss Edith Thomas recited with feel-ing and is an actress of no mean order.

The sketch given at the end by Mr Geoffrey Fayle and Miss Kitty Gordon produced roars of laughter. ‘All for a sister’ was the name of the sketch. The acting of these two artists was realis-tic and clever, for in sketch work they reach a high standard, being comedy actors of repute.

Mr Arthur Shaw, a dramatic bari-tone, gave several solos in fi ne style, having good tone and quality in his voice. The Toxteth Concert Coy. will

appear in Frankston and Mornington in March.

***THE work of improvement at the Hastings railway station, is now in full progress, and when completed the ac-commodation for the public and the station staff will be more than dou-bled. A lamp and oil shed has been erected and the station master will have a separate exit from his offi ce to the platform. These great improve-ments have been brought about solely by the persistent efforts of the West-ernport Progress Association, contin-ued through a period of two years.

***ORCHARDISTS are now busy pick ing and despatching fruit to Mel-bourne where there is a good demand and high prices for fruit, and as there are good crops this season will be a prosperous one for fruit growers. The bi-weekly produce market estab-lished by Messrs Brody and Mason at Frankston has so far proved a decided benefi t to fruit and vegetable growers.

***MR Anderson, who was head mas-ter at the Mornington Junction State school for many years, has been trans-ferred to Northcote. His place is being fi lled temporarily by Miss Brennan.

***THE hot and dry weather experienced lately has had a bad effect on the roads, which are now covered with dust and loose metal. A good fall of rain would remedy this to a great extent. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 February, 1915.

By Stuart McCulloughAT fi rst, I couldn’t believe my ears. But after hours of interrogation and a polygraph test, I now accept that they were telling the truth. Prince Philip has, indeed, been awarded a knight-hood. Like most people, my fi rst re-sponse was to say ‘about time’. It’s only right that someone who doesn’t live here should be bestowed our high-est honour. My only concern is that it doesn’t go far enough. Were it up to me, Prince Phil would top the Hot-test One Hundred, win the Brownlow and take out fi rst place in the Moomba Birdman Rally. Then it struck me; for mere mortals a knighthood is quite an honour. But if you’re already a prince, isn’t a knighthood kind of a demotion?

Here’s my thinking. In chess, the King outranks everyone, including a knight. Although there’s no Prince, I think it’s fair to assume that in the pecking order of life, being the Queen’s ‘plus one’ gets you a better table at the local Indian restaurant and take away joint than having ‘Sir’ slapped onto your name like a dodgy extension built without approval from the local Council. This could well be the most spectacular ‘up yours’ in liv-ing memory. It’s hard to imagine a greater insult to the Queen than to take her husband down a couple of notches.

The cruelty doesn’t stop there, ei-ther. Spare a moment for what poor Phil has to endure in order to receive the honour. First of all, you can’t tell me that this doesn’t give the Queen an extraordinary amount of leverage when discussion turns to who should

take the recycling out on bin night. At the fi rst sign of hesitation, all Liz has to do is casually suggest that – just maybe – somebody’s not that interest-ed in becoming a knight after all. As he trudges down the stairs, empty milk containers and empty dog food cans piled up under each arm, the Prince will surely curse our nation.

There are other problems too. Take a moment to imagine the day itself. Prince Philip has to get down on bend-ed knee in front of his wife. It used to be that knights would be anointed us-ing a sword but, these days, I believe that for safety reasons the Monarch uses a laser pointer. After the deed is done, his wife will then call upon him

to ‘arise, sir knight’. At age 93, being asked to get down on your knees and get up again in quick time is an act of unprecedented malice. But that’s the least of Phil’s problems.

I know for a fact that, on Tuesday nights, Prince Philip is part of a Trivia team at the local pub that competes for half price drinks and a family sized meat tray. The team, presently going under the name ‘The Bucking-ham Brainiacs’ currently sit third after eight weeks. His teammates – Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou and Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow – are destined to give him all kinds of grief. Every chance they get, they’ll be slipping LuLu’s ‘To Sir With Love’ on the jukebox. It will be one of those pranks that only becomes funnier with repeti-tion. It will be the darkest period of his life since ‘My Name is Prince’ was fi rst released.

Then there’s the paperwork. Sud-denly, his driver’s license, passport and Blockbuster membership card are all totally out of date. He’ll need to get his new name on the utility bills if he every wants to rent a DVD again. For the next few weeks and until this mess is sorted out, there’ll be no more new releases with a take away caprociosa and a six pack on Friday nights like there used to be. Instead, he and the missus will be stuck with watching repeats of ‘A Touch of Frost’, eating tuna from a can and sucking down on a soda stream like the rest of us.

I feel foolish – I hadn’t realized we were giving away titles to foreign-ers. It is, quite obviously, a wonder-

ful thing. This means that Britney Spears can now receive the damehood she so richly deserves. Perhaps being knighted can be given away as a prize for whoever is left standing in ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’. Or as a door prize for the studio audience of ‘Hotseat’. That said, do we really need to limit ourselves to knights and dames? Surely there are other qual-ity titles we can bestow. Like ‘Dude’, ‘Thorpedo’ or ‘The Fonz’. Personally, were it up to me, I’d like to bestow the title of ‘Residential / Light Commer-cial with a Drainage Easement’. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t impress the grandkids.

But for Phil, it’s the worst kind of gift. One the recipient didn’t ask for, doesn’t need and for which he has ab-solutely no use. We can only hope that he tried to look happy when he heard the big news. That said, if it doesn’t end up in the shed along with his old tennis racket, the busted BMX and board games that have crucial pieces missing, it will probably be re-gifted. Before you know it, Prince Phil will have passed his knighthood on to Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou or Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow. Or, worse still, he might pass it on to another member of his family. Who knows where the thing might end up? Per-haps we can all learn something from the experience. Next time the idea of knighting someone else’s royal family comes up, the answer will be simple. It will be: no sir.

TRUE LEGEND

By Simon Burke

SUZI Quatro returns down under for the last time this month after 50 years performing at the highest level. The legendary singer-songwriter/ bass player has toured Australia no less than 30 times and is now prepared for an emotional farewell.

Her sold out show at the Frankston Arts Centre promises to bring plenty of tears, laughter and rock ‘n roll with Suzi bringing her best game to the stage. It was this A game that caught the attention of famed record producer Mickie Most who offered her a solo contract in 1969.

She then went to the UK, sold 55 million records and had a string of hits such as Can The Can, 48 Crash, Too Big, Devil Gate Drive and much more. You may also remember her from Happy Days playing Fonzi’s girlfriend Leather Tuscadero along with parts in other TV shows such as Absolutely Fabulous and Midsomer Murders.

WE LOVE URIAH, HEEPSBy Simon Burke

GET ready to welcome back to Australia one of the biggest rock bands of the 1970s on March 22 as Uriah Heep perform live at the Chelsea Heights hotel.

Once known as one of ‘The Big Four’ alongside Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, the British rock group have been tearing up the music scene for over 45 years with their unique, progressive, hard sound.

Uriah Heep have been a mainstay of the rock circuit for four decades, famed for their accomplished musical talents, diverse song writing and powerful live performances. It is for this reason that Australian audiences have taken them into their hard rocking hearts with the band scoring consecutive charting albums and singles in the country. What’s more, in 2003 Uriah Heep enlisted the vocal talents of none other than Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes on the ‘Relentless’ album, thus cementing their affi nity to this country.

Original member and lead guitarist Mick Box still helms this incredible outfi t and played a part in all 23 studio albums that includes Demons and Wizards (1972), Abominog (1982), and their most recent release, 2011’s Into The Wild. Their 40 million record sales worldwide speaks for itself. The band have retained a cult following and a ‘never say die’ spirit during constant upheaval throughout their history and their performance at the 2013 Download Festival in the UK was hailed as the highlight of the weekend.

If the history of Uriah Heep proves anything, it is that the band will endure, with their diary for the foreseeable future as full as ever. So, be quick to get your tickets to Uriah Heep, at the Chelsea Heights Hotel,Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd Chelsea Heights, March 22, as the groups last tour of Australia in 2011 resulted in sell out shows.

PROVINCIALBy IT Gully Pines dealt Mt Eliza a further blow on Saturday when it taught it a cricket lesson in MPCA Provincial.

And it was career defi ning for one Pines player who has always offered so much – Jake Prosser.

After taking fi ve wickets the week before with the ball, Prosser walked out and clubbed his maiden century, eventually falling for 114.

Prosser shared a 100 plus partner-ship with his skipper Ricky Ramsdale, who made 103.

The Piners smashed Mt Eliza to all parts of the ground and easily covered its total of 186. Pines was eventually

bowled out in the 81st over for 344. Harley Peace-Stirling also contributed 40 to the total.

Tom Ewing was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers, snaring 3/72.

The Mounties are now third bottom on the ladder, a game behind Pines and Rye, who themselves have struggled this season.

The end of the year can’t come quick enough for Mt Eliza.

Further down the highway at Moo-rooduc, Jake Prosser’s younger broth-er Matt was creating some records of his own for Langwarrin.

Matt Prosser top scored for his side last week against the Ducs with 66 and on Saturday, with ball in hand, he tweaked himself 5/62 to give him his

best fi gures in First XI cricket.Langwarrin recorded an easy victory

over the Ducs, bowling them out for 179 in reply to their own 7/274.

Ross Cordeaux top scored for Moo-rooduc with 47. Adrian Mack and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets for the Kangas.

Crib Point put themselves back into fi nals calculations after recording an outright win against Heatherhill.

The Magpies recorded their second outright win of the season, having them again knocking on the door of the top four.

The Pies rolled the Hills for 138 and 87 with Brad Davidson taking nine wickets for the match.

Mornington maintained its pres-

sure on the top four and in doing so knocked Baxter off the top of the lad-der.

The Doggies are still not inside the top four but are just half a game from top spot.

On Saturday, chasing 152 for victo-ry, the Dogs got there with four wick-ets in hand.

Ben Clements top scored for the Dogs with 43 while Brad McDonald was next best with 42.

Dale Irving was at his best with the ball for Baxter with 5/31 from 21 overs but it still wasn’t good enough to hand his side victory.

Peninsula Old Boys did all it need-ed to to get the 12 points against Rye and claim top spot on the ladder.

Resuming on the second day at 2/34, the Old Boys managed to get to 3/144 before sending Rye back in in a quest for outright victory.

Rye fi nished with 1/56 before stumps were drawn.

Long Island maestro Scott Phillips was at it again on Saturday, this time bowling his side to victory against Sorrento.

After top scoring with the bat last week with an unbeaten 73, he took the new ball on Saturday and picked-up 6/49 to help his side bowl out the Sorras for 171. It gave the Islanders a 100-run victory.

Great day for Prossers

DISTRICTBy IT Gully THE log jam at the top of the MPCA Dis-trict ladder continues after round nine was completed on Saturday.

Main Ridge kept is fi nals hopes well and truly alive after recording a wonderful and commanding victory against the previously undefeated Red Hill.

Skipper Brad Rossborough was magnifi -cent in his side’s victory, beginning the day unbeaten on 32 and still standing at the end, still unbeaten on 180.

Main Ridge made 6/303 to beat the Hill-men by almost 200 runs.

Somerville resumed at 3/17 on Saturday against Carrum, chasing 122 for victory, however, Justin Allsop and Aaron Kaddatz put a stop to any fairytale victory for the Lions.

Allsop was superb for his 91 and Kaddatz provided the much needed support late in the day to make a timely 27 and ensure his side pushed past the Lions’ score. Somer-ville was all out for 172.

Lachy Dobson and Jackson Fry each picked up three wickets for Carrum.

Mt Martha fi nished Seaford Tigers’ season and in doing so maintained its own position in the top four.

After setting the Tigers 228 for victory last week, the Reds were able to roll the home side for 177.

Corey Hand is the backbone of the Tigers and he did his bit again on Saturday with a top score of 39, while Ash Mills hit 30.

There is still a glimmer of hope for Sea-ford in their quest for fi nals after success-fully defending 9/274 against Delacombe Park.

Seaford rolled the Parkers for 161, Paul Hartle back to some of his best with 4/45 and Aaron Peebles picking up 3/56. John Spencer top scored for the Parker with 54.

Baden Powell recorded a comfortable victory over Boneo.

Chasing 156 for victory, the Braves made 222 with Elia Carter top scoring with 97. Rhys Elmi also was among the runs with 64.

In the fi nal game, Hastings was well beaten by Flinders.

The Blues were bowled out for just 63 in their chase of 194 for victory.

Matt Foy top scored for the Blues with 25, while Blake Hogan-Keogh was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 4/10, giving him 16 wickets for the season.

Still a tight race in District

Stars come togetherCOUNTRY WEEKBy IT Gully MATT Foon will lead the Morn-ington Peninsula Cricket As-sociation in the Country Week Provincial squad at the champi-onships that kick off this week around Victoria.

There are some new faces in the squad adding to the ones we have been used to seeing over the journey, which speaks volumes about the strength and depth of the competition.

Peninsula Old Boys star Matt Hyden was an obvious choice after accumulating plenty of runs this season.

The competition’s best player, Scott Phillips, who has 400 runs this season and 38 wickets, will not play for the MPCA. Neither will Nick Jewell, who has 337 runs this season.

Crib Point bowling dynamo Brad Davidson has been reward-ed for a fi ne season and 33 wick-ets with a call-up, while Lachy Dobson from Carrum has also been included in the team.

Andrew ‘AJ’ King is an ob-vious starter after claiming 31 wickets this season.

Corey Harris and Ben Cle-ments have 396 and 395 runs respectively this season and they are in the team, as is Shaun Fos-ter from Carrum, who has been named vice captain. Rob Hearn is the other Magpie in the team.

Langwarrin’s Andy Johnson is in the team. He has had a very consistent season with 362 runs and will be a foil for opposition in the middle order.

Country Week veterans Wade Pelzer, Luke Popov, Bobby Wil-son and Justin Bridgeman make-up the rest of the star-studded squad.

The Development Squad is also packed with some in-form play-ers.

POB’s Jon Forest will lead the young team, which includes Liam O’Connor (Sorrento), Spencer Byatt (Boneo), David Eaton (Crib Point), Jackson Fry (Carrum), Luke Hewitt (Hast-ings), Damien Lawrence (Sea-ford), Brent Martin (Red Hill), Aaron Paxton (Long Island), Leigh Poholke (Sorrento), Brad Trotter (Pearcedale), Nick Wil-cox (Pines), Dylan O’Malley (POB), Adam Gailitis (POB), Matt Davie (Langwarrin).

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT Gully Frankston YCW has jumped back into the MPCA Sub District top four and given itself some breathing space after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park.

The Stonecats only made 123 in reply to Ballam Park’s fi rst innings score of 58 on the fi rst day of the match last week. However they went into Saturday staring at the outright win.

The Knights resumed at 4/34, still 31 behind with six wickets in hand. They fi nished with 165, giving the Stonecats plenty of work to do.

John Plakourakis top scored for the Knights with 79.

Andrew Kitson fi nished with 11 wickets for the match after picking up six in the fi rst innings and fi ve in the second dig.

Needing just over 100 runs to claim an outright, the Stonecats got there with three wickets in hand.

Things looked grim when they slumped to 6/65. However Kitson and Luke Hutchison got them over the line with some solid batting.

Tootgarook had no problems de-fending its 9/315 against Dromana.

The Frogs bowled out the Hoppers for 140 before sending them back in immediately in the hope of getting an outright win. The Hoppers hung on to fi nish at 3/35.

Corey DeBruyn was the best of Tootgarook’s bowlers with 4/51 while Zac Stevenson claimed 3/28.

Pearcedale got the job done against Carrum Downs and in doing so re-mained on top of the ladder.

The win also knocked the Cougars outside of the top four.

Resuming at 1/40, chasing Carrum Downs’ 105, the Panthers declared at

7/169 before having another crack at the visitors.

Brad Trotter top scored for the Pan-thers with 50. The Cougars fi nished the day at 7/105 and avoided the out-right loss. Chris Dew snared 5/27 in the second innings.

Rosebud made light work of Bal-narring and fi nished their season.

Chasing just 117 for victory, the Buds resumed at 1/16 and cruised all afternoon to fi nish with 7/169.

Tyabb went for the outright victory against Skye after making 8/299 in their fi rst innings.

Skye was bowled out for just 55 in their fi rst innings with Tyabb century maker Brodie Bennett claiming 3/8 and Jack Doman picking up 3/13 in his third senior match.

Skye hung on in their second in-nings, crawling to 1/49 before the match was called.

DIRECT customer feedback has driven Hold-en’s decision to retain the esteemed Commo-dore nameplate for the next-generation large car to be imported from GM’s global operations from 2018, Holden Executive Director of Sales, Peter Keley, has announced.

“The next-generation large car we have se-lected from GM’s global portfolio is worthy of the iconic Commodore nameplate,” Mr Keley said.

“When it arrives in 2018, our new large car will honour Commodore’s heritage and support a long and successful future for Holden in Aus-tralia and New Zealand. Holden and Commo-dore aren’t going anywhere, they will remain pillars of Australian motoring for many years to come.

“Customers have confi rmed that retaining the Commodore nameplate is the right decision for Holden.

“Through the process of selecting the vehi-cle, we put to customers a number of possible criteria to better understand what they felt was important for the car to be competitive in the Australian market. And, of course, whether it deserved the Commodore nameplate.

“Ultimately, the overwhelming response from customers was that Holden should continue the Commodore nameplate into the future with our next-generation large car.”

Across 17 different customer research ses-sions, Commodore owners and non-Commo-dore owners offered a range of views, with a strong majority favouring retention of the Com-modore nameplate.

“We know the decision to retain or retire the Commodore nameplate will stir passionate re-sponses among Holden fans and customers. That’s why we’ll ensure the next-generation car drives like a Commodore should,” Mr Keley said.

“The vehicle will be tuned and honed by Holden engineers and technicians at our world-class Lang Lang Proving Ground in Victoria, ensuring it performs in Australian conditions and to Australian expectations. Right now, our Vehicle Performance team is helping shape the next-generation Commodore for Australian customers.”

Across all customer research sessions, almost 70 percent of unaided customer responses to the Commodore nameplate were positive, with participants citing Commodore’s reliability, performance and appropriateness for families.

Customers cited a number of criteria as criti-cal for the future of Commodore, including: ability to perform in Australian conditions; affordability; external styling; interior space; handling; power, acceleration; towing abil-ity; and offering variants including luxury and sport.

GM Executive Vice President and President of GM International, Stefan Jacoby, said the decision to retain the Commodore nameplate for Holden’s next generation large car was not taken lightly.

“I cannot reveal full details of the next-gen-eration vehicle, but I can say it will either com-pare very favourably or improve on the current Commodore’s dynamic performance, accelera-tion, fuel economy, running costs and mass,” Mr Jacoby said.

“The current VF Commodore has set new standards for quality and driveability and con-tinues to perform well in the Australian and New Zealand markets. We are confi dent that from 2018, we can honour Commodore’s herit-age and chart a new direction for the next-gen-eration vehicle that is worthy of the esteemed Commodore name.”
