COMMERCIAL fi sherman plying their trade off Mornington and the Southern Peninsula are adamant the state govern-ment’s proposed netting ban is poorly thought out and smacks of “political expediency”.

They are angry at Premier Denis Napthine’s announcement at the Car-rum Surf Life Saving Club last week that he will ban commercial netting in Port Phillip Bay.

The Coalition says it will buy back all commercial licences within four years and has pledged $20 million to begin the process if re-elected at state elec-

tions to be held this month. The promise forms part of a $65 million package for a “better bay”.

Dr Napthine said the removal of com-mercial bay fi shing would mean more fi sh for amateur anglers, who are esti-mated to number 720,000-$750,000.

“Our vision is for Port Phillip and Co-rio bays to be recreational fi shing mec-cas for locals and visitors,” he said.

He said an independent panel would help decide how the buyback would be structured and commercial netting phased out.

The panel would consult with peak bodies such as Seafood Industry Vic-toria, Victorian Recreational Fishing (VRFish) and key stakeholders Future

Fish, Australian Fishing Trading Asso-ciation and others.

But Seafood Industry Victoria - a not for profi t, non-government organisation representing the interests of the com-mercial fi sherman – says the loss of the 42 licences will decimate jobs among fi shermen and those in related indus-tries.

“Does the government understand the effect this will have on jobs in the processing, wholesale and retail fi sh sectors?” executive director Johnathon Davey said.

“Do they realise the ban will fuel the thriving black market in whiting and snapper sold by ‘shamateurs’ that exists today?”

“This issue is not simply going to af-fect commercial fi shermen. What about its impact on fi sh mongers and retail fi sh and chip shops in the main street?

“There will be considerably less fl at-head, snapper, calamari, whiting and other species available, while prices will increase as a result of supply short-ages.”

Two Mornington brothers – perhaps now the last of four generations of com-mercial fi shermen based on the penin-sula – are downright angry at plans to remove their livelihood. They know no other trade.

BILLIONAIRE trucking magnate Lindsay Fox will keep 45 metres of Point King Beach at Portsea after Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state government walked away from legal action and legislative change.

On Christmas Eve 2013, Mr Fox was granted the land by the state land titles offi ce.

It generated a wave of public criti-cism and saw state planning minister Matthew Guy vow to bring in retro-spective laws to stop Victoria’s coast-line falling into private hands.

Mr Guy announced zoning changes in April but they have not stopped Mr Fox’s beach land grab.

In February, Mr Guy said the gov-ernment would clarify the offi cial lo-cation of the high water mark across the whole state.

In March he vowed to bring in ret-rospective laws to stop up to 140 wa-terside properties being extended onto beaches that have seen sand accumu-late.

The issue of properties “owning” beaches dates back to the 1800s when governments regularly sold land abut-ting waterways. Revisions of land rules in 1905 and 1958 did not remove the waterway anomalies.

Now the government is blaming the shire for not pursuing Mr Fox in court but a shire investigation has confi rmed the bollards are located within the property’s title boundary, do not im-pact beach access, and do not pose a risk to public safety.

“As a result, shire offi cers have

Sand man: Point King Beach with Lindsay Fox’s green patch beyond the second jetty. landholders’ jetties are mostly out of the water even at high tide.

formed the view that enforcement ac-tion is not warranted and would likely be unsuccessful,” a shire statement said.

Mr Fox used an obscure state gov-ernment law that allows people with land facing beaches to increase the size of their properties when extra sand accumulates to claim the 2400 square metres, worth an estimated $5 million.

Point King Beach has received huge amounts of sand in the past 15 years but especially since the Port of Melbourne Authority dredged The Heads and the South Channel in 2008-09. Some of it has come from Portsea Beach, which has been massively eroded since 2009.

Mr Fox had been seeking the extra

land since the late 1990s saying the so-called doctrine of accretion applied to his claim.

In 1999, Mr Fox erected bollards along the beach side of his property, generating an outcry from locals but no action by the state Labor govern-ment or the Liberal-Nationals Coali-tion elected in 2010.

Earlier this year Surveyor-General John Tulloch reportedly said beach granted to Mr Fox by the titles offi ce was not Crown land, but this has been questioned by legal experts.

The News understands that the coun-cil has not given up on challenging Mr Fox’s claim and is seeking more infor-

mation about the complex issue.A council insider said the doctrine of

accretion stated that any land claimed by a person must be a permanent in-crease. “Most of the extra sand has ar-rived since dredging,” they said.

Mr Fox’s neighbour, Kate Baillieu, criticised the shire for not enforcing a “a clear breach” of planning laws.

“It sends a message that if you have a bit of dough and can threaten to take legal action then you can get away with anything.”

In March, Mr Fox told 3AW that the high tide water mark title was issued in 1872 and reconfi rmed by the owners of the property in 1910.

AN act of kindness has cost an elderly Mt Eliza man his $40,000 car.

The 71-year-old man answered a knock at the front door of his Raven-scourt Cr home to an unknown male asking to use his phone to call a taxi about 3.15pm on 20 October.

The victim told police the male claimed his mobile phone was not working and that he urgently needed to call a taxi to get home.

He said he felt sorry for the unin-vited guest and even shared a beer and lengthy conversation with him while waiting for the taxi to arrive.

After about 30 minutes, the thief told his host the taxi had arrived and left the house.

But when the victim went outside to check several minutes later, he discov-ered his silver 2009 Holden Caprice was missing.

A quick search of his house revealed his keys had been taken. Mornington detectives said the car was recorded travelling towards the city on Eastlink near Thompsons Rd about 4.15pm.

The vehicle has not been located since.

The thief was described as being Caucasian, aged 35-40, with a short, stocky build and short dark hair.

Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

THE state government signing a 50-year lease with Point Leisure Group for 64 hectares of Point Nepean Na-tional Park is a shameful decision and will be vigorously opposed, says Port-sea resident and park champion Kate Baillieu.

Public notifi cation of the agreement appeared without fanfare on the De-partment of Environment and Primary Industry’s website last Wednesday.

A government spokesman report-edly said the deal had been signed before the government went into care-taker mode in the lead-up to the state election on 29 November.

Point Leisure Group, headed by de-veloper Richard Shelmerdine, wants to build a health and wellness retreat comprising hot springs, spa, restau-rant, 108-room hotel, conference cen-tre, and “wellbeing centre”, aiming to spend about $40 million over the next 20 years.

The leased area includes all historic buildings as well as various public ar-eas including existing car parks, the parade ground, Wombat Oval and Jar-man Oval.

Ms Baillieu said “a large number of high-powered people had coalesced around the issue and we’ll fi ght this tooth and nail”.

“This has been a shifty, confusing and completely unsatisfactory pro-cess,” she said. “The apparent haste of the lease signing is very curious.”

She said the deal contradicted the aims of the federal government when

it handed over the Quarantine Station precinct to the state government in 2009 “for all Victorians in perpetuity”.

“This is not for the people. The de-veloper and government have not dem-onstrated how the deal will preserve and protect this historic site.”

A state government spokesman reportedly said it was “confi dent in the availability of the geothermal re-

source” and that insurance for the state had been built into the agreement.

“This agreement will see $40 million saved in management and maintenance costs over the 50-year term as a result of having a viable commercial tenant on site ensuring upkeep and maintenance of all historic buildings,” he said.

The lease might be extended “if stringent performance conditions are

maintained and investment milestones are met”. Point Leisure Group will now apply for water testing permits and drill to confi rm the viability of geothermal water.

Opposition environment spokes-woman Lisa Neville reportedly said Labor would try to disallow the lease if it won the election.

“The community had previously

All in vain: A rally held at Point Nepean late last month called on the state government to delay signing a lease for development until after the election on 29 November but this has been ignored. Picture: Matthew Mackay

signed off on a masterplan that it felt fi tted the existing footprint, protected native vegetation from clearing, and was sensitive to the values of the na-tional park.”

Victorian National Parks Associa-tion executive director Matt Ruchel said community and environment groups were dismayed the lease had been signed on “the eve of the election caretaker period”.

“It raises more questions than it answers about a deal that will usher in unprecedented private use of the park,” he said. “The development de-pends on the success of fi nding spa water in the park. The lease agreement may be terminated if geothermal water is not found in the fi rst two years, so it is surely premature to have signed a lease just a few weeks out from the election.

“Under pressure from the commu-nity, the government has backfl ipped on the issues of land subdivision and height limits. It will now prohibit sub-division and limit new buildings to the height of existing buildings – and has belatedly included an opportunity for public comment on development plans.”

He said the government had paved the way for “insensitive and inappro-priate development in Point Nepean National Park that will severely dam-age its values, including signifi cant clearing of native vegetation for spa pools and fi re management”.

“This agreement also locks the pub-lic out of many areas of Point Nepean and provides the impetus for similar proposals in other national parks.”

ANALYSIS

THE demise of Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has been rapid and total.

On Friday, Dr Kennedy will exit the shire offi ces in Rosebud for the last time after almost 16 years in the top job. He has gone from a rooster to a feather duster in just a matter of months.

In August, the 11 councillors told the man known as “The Coach”, who had ruled the shire with an iron glove, they would be advertising his job for the fi rst time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply.

Dr Kennedy had managed to convince a majority of councillors, technically his employer, that they need not advertise his position in 2003, 2008 and 2011 but pressure had been mounting for almost a decade to “test the CEO market”.

The 2003 and 2008 appointments riled sections of the community including ratepayer groups. One member of a Tyabb ratepayers group, Peter Davis, wrote to Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer in 2009 to complain about the CEO’s two reappointments and the performance review element of his contracts as well as the lack of cooperation from the shire’s governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck when Mr Davis asked to see the CEO’s contract

This triggered months of controversy involving the Victorian Government

Solicitor, Local Government Minister Richard Wynne, local Liberal MPs Neale Burgess and David Morris, the Municipal Association of Victoria, consultants FOI Solutions, shire lawyers, two mayors (2008 mayor Anne Shaw and 2009 mayor David Gibb), and Tim Ginnane SC, who had provided a legal opinion for the shire (he was later appointed a judge).

The shire was slapped on the wrist and ordered to review its freedom of information processes and procedures, including record-keeping and records management, as well as its confl ict of interest policy. It was advised to consider counselling Dr Kennedy in relation to his confl ict of interest in seeking legal advice regarding an FOI request for documentation relating to his employment.

The upshot was the shire’s FOI consultants said everything was hunky dory, Mr Buck received some kind of counselling, Dr Kennedy received none, and in January 2010 Local Government Victoria said the CEO’s contracts were valid.

The decision to not advertise in 2008 and 2011 was not unanimous but the council always tried to project a united front, and councillors who wanted his job advertised kept quiet in public.

The same has occurred this year but The News understands all 11 coun-cillors agreed to advertise his job, a stunning loss of support for the CEO.

This came as a great surprise to many council watchers as Dr Kennedy had always received strong backing from long-time councillors David Gibb, Anne Shaw and Bev Colomb

as well as in more recent times from 2012 councillors David Garnock and Andrew Dixon.

Former councillors who supported Dr Kennedy whenever his contract came up for renewal included Bill Goodrem (who was effectively replaced by Hugh Fraser in 2012) and Frank Martin (who stood down earlier in the year due to ill health and was replaced by Tim Wood at a by-election in August).

Dr Kennedy knew his time was up late last month when he was told his name was not on the short list of about 12 candidates provided by recruitment fi rm Slade Partners.

The pendulum had swung rapidly and Dr Kennedy had lost his support. He was bitterly disappointed and took a few days of sick leave before deciding not to work out his $350,000 annual contract, which expires next February.

But why has his fall been so rapid? Or was it rapid? There have been three key moments – the 2009 Tyabb complaints and their aftermath, when barrister Hugh Fraser was elected to the council in late 2012, and when Frank Martin was replaced by retired County Court judge Tim Wood three months ago.

Cr Fraser brought a new era of forensic examination of the shire’s executive team, the reports it produced and the decisions it made. He emboldened councillors to take a harder line, look more closely at major issues and not just accept council offi cers’ decisions.

He started a “revolt” that saw the

divisive Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) moved off the foreshore site at Rosebud. He brought into sharper focus the shire’s substantial debt. He used his barrister’s skills to question the status quo, all the while without once raising his voice.

But he could not alter the fact that he and the so-called progressives had fi ve of 11 votes. When push came to shove, six beat fi ve.

Cr Wood changed the balance of power in late August when he won a fascinating by-election contested by 17 candidates, a record number in one ward since the shire was formed almost 20 years ago.

It was a stunning outbreak of democracy and a far cry from the nadir in 2008 when six out of 11 councillors were returned unopposed, triggering the interest of the Victorian Electoral Commission and eventually leading to a change from 11 single-councillor wards to three multi-councillor and three single-councillor wards (and giving new candidates a better chance of winning).

Complaints about Dr Kennedy’s style of management had been occurring for many years, both from within and outside the organisation.

Current and former councillors had complained that Dr Kennedy, who holds a doctorate of business administration, was not communicating effectively with councillors, showed a lack of empathy, and was not allowing councillors to be involved in essential decision-making.

He called the shire “my council” and “my organisation”. If Dr Kennedy did

not support a project, it was unlikely to progress. He was accused of micro-managing issues large and small to their detriment.

The disquiet over ever-rising rates, increasing debt, and lack of spending on crucial infrastructure has reached a crescendo in recent times.

The council has become increasingly dysfunctional since 2012 when state environment minister Ryan Smith gave the shire in-principle coastal consent to build SPA on the foreshore at Rosebud, six years after the shire’s fi rst request. Despite Dr Kennedy’s claims that he and senior offi cers were “like Switzerland”, that is, neutral, on the SPA issue, it was commonly held that a narrow majority of councillors and the executive wanted the $40 million plus aquatic centre built on the foreshore rather than inland.

In September 2012, the council made an extraordinary move at the suggestion of Dr Kennedy – it bought Rosebud Central shopping centre for $5.2 million as an alternative site for SPA to take the heat out of the controversy and remove it as a negative issue before the election in October. It also bought or put its dibs on four commercial properties facing Ninth Ave at the rear of the shopping centre, needed to consolidate the precinct.

To pay for the purchases, the shire sold big blocks of land in Rosebud, Rosebud West and Mornington as well as housing blocks in Blairgowrie, Portsea, Rye and Hastings.

Prominent Liberal Party member Robin Cooper, former state MP for Mornington and a former Shire of

MICHAEL Kennedy, who turned 61 mid-year, came to the Mornington Peninsula in 1993 and served one year as CEO of the former Shire of Hastings prior to the Kennett government’s forced amalgamation of the 210 Victorian municipalities into 78 in December 1994.

After amalgamation he was CEO of the City of Boroondara (formerly Kew, Camberwell and Hawthorn) from 1995 to 1999 before returning to the peninsula in 1999 to become CEO of the “super” shire formed from Hastings, Flinders and Mornington.

Prior to local government he was in the shipping industry, as a director and general manager of Coastal ExpressLine and as a senior manager at ANL.

A Bachelor of Business, he started a doctorate in business administration while at Boroondara, but set study aside after becoming shire CEO. He completed the course in March 2002.

Since entering local government, Dr Kennedy has pursued a wide range of allied interests. He has been on the committee of MAV Insurance (Municipal Association of Victoria) since 1995, is a Victoria fellow of the Institute of Public Administration Australia, a fellow of the Institute of Company Directors, and a fellow of Local Government Professionals.

He has been a member of several health organisations, and was founding chairman of Lifesaving Victoria and an independent director. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on Australia Day in 2009 “for service to health organisations, lifesaving and the Mornington Peninsula Shire as CEO”.

Mornington councillor and mayor, was also vocal in calling for the CEO’s job to be “tested” on the employment market in both 2008 and 2011. He criticised councillors in 2011 for not advertising the job.

“Whether you are pro or anti Dr Kennedy, the council should fi nd who’s available,” he said.

Mr Cooper, a long-time Mt Eliza resident, said any well-run business would advertise the CEO’s position. “From one end of the Mornington Peninsula to the other, most ratepayers would expect it to be advertised. “After people have been in the top job for a number of years, sometimes you need a fresh face.”

On Thursday, he told The News that advertising the CEO’s job was “good for the municipality”.

“We need fresh blood not just at the CEO level.

“I will be very interested to see who they choose for the role and what controls they have over the position. Let’s hope the new CEO doesn’t treat councillors as just a nuisance.”

Mr Cooper said Dr Kennedy had been on the short list for CEO of the City of Geelong. Dr Gillian Miles, a state government bureaucrat most recently with the Department of Transport, was appointed mid-August.

Class above: Peninsula School student Piper Harrison, 13, in action at Jan Juc during las Sunday’s Subway Summer Surf Series, where she won the under 16 girls division.

SHE may be only 13 years old, but Mt Eliza school-girl Piper Harrison is already making big waves on the national junior surfi ng circuit.

The current Victorian Under 14 state champion put in another standout performance last Sunday at the Subway Summer Surf Series at Jan Juc where she outperformed older competitors to win the under 16 girls fi nal.

Continuing her recent strong run of performances, Harrison revelled in the large conditions, scoring a heat total of 14.17 to beat Jan Juc local Grace Day.

In deteriorating conditions with a 4-5 foot swell, Harrison started Sunday’s fi nal strongly scoring 7.50 in the opening minutes before backing up with a 6.67 point ride.

The Peninsula School student nicknamed Pip-squeak will represent Victoria in the under 14 girls division at the upcoming Australian Junior Surfi ng Titles at Yallingup in Western Australia in December.

Phillip Island’s Courtney Dunlop won the under 18 girls division, while Noah Cooney from Lennox Head in NSW took out the under 18 boys.

Dunlop, the current Victorian under 18 girls champion, took control of the fi nal early on with a 7.50 ride in the opening minutes.

Although she was unable to fi nd a good backup ride, Dunlop took the fi nal over Zoe Clarke of Jan Juc, who could not fi nd a good enough ride in the dying minutes to take the lead.

In the under 18 boys fi nal, Cooney was a standout throughout the day dealing with the challenging waves and winds.

Placing second was local Tane Bowden with a heat total of 11.67.

Bowden earlier took the crown in the under 16 boys fi nal with a heat total of 13.67 points ahead of Max Lazarus from Point Lonsdale.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Inspector Karen Nyholm has said no decision would be made regarding the move-ment of police to the new Somerville station until an in-ternal review had been com-pleted.

Concern over possible re-duced police numbers at southern peninsula stations was the subject of a vocal public meeting attended by 140 people at Rosebud Me-morial Hall last Wednesday night.

It had been called to protest the possible reallocation of 31 traffi c operations, CIU and uniform police from stations at Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana to the new 150-man, $16.3 million station which is expected to open in March.

Speakers pointed to their concerns about the loss of frontline police from those stations – especially over the busy summer holiday period.

“Superintendent Neil Pat-erson [Division 4 Local Area Commander] and I attended the meeting and we were hap-py to respond to community concerns and questions but,

disappointingly, were not in-vited to speak by the organis-ers,” she said.

However, meeting organ-iser Barry Irving said “every-one at the meeting was wel-come to speak”.

“I addressed my comments to those police present, and a member of the public even asked if they would like to re-spond, but they chose not to,” he said.

Inspector Nyholm said later that comments made at the meeting relating to police numbers over this year’s sum-mer holiday season were “not accurate”.

“Several months of plan-ning each year goes into pre-paring the police response for the summer period on the peninsula,” she said.

“Victoria Police recognises the infl ux of the population impacts on public order, fam-ily violence and road safety and plans to ensure resources are obtained to meet this de-mand.”

Inspector Nyholm said this summer there would be an increase in uniform police members at Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana. She said bike and beach patrols with the all-terrain vehicle would be conducted and po-

lice would conduct various targeted operations through-out this period.

“Operation Campaware is a proactive measure by police to provide support and advice to campers along the fore-shore area about thefts from the camp site and vehicles, wilful and obscene crimes, road safety and general local laws,” she said. “The opera-tion has been well received by campers in previous years and involved our crime pre-vention offi ce and our youth resource offi cers.

“Also, various road safe-ty operations will be run throughout the summer pe-riod targeting drink and drug driving, as well as speed and other offences that contribute to serious injury and fatal col-lisions.”

Inspector Nyholm said ex-tra police resources would be allocated on New Year’s Eve and Australia Day - two of the biggest days on the peninsula. “A large contin-gency of uniform members are drawn from the southern police region, and they will be supported by the mount-ed branch, Razon taskforce which covers licencing, and divisional intelligence unit,” she said.

EXHIBITORS can submit works to the 43rd annual Mornington Art Exhibition un-til 23 December. So far, things are looking good.

“Since entries opened on 1 November the early response has been brisk,” coordinator David Benson said.

Entries can be submitted online through morningtonartshow.com.au with digital images of the artworks accompanying the entries.

“Paintings are being entered earlier and artists are becoming more familiar with the online system,” Mr Benson said.

“Fewer queries have been received this year about this process but assistance is available on request. Multiple artwork en-tries are again common but only four items per person can be accepted.

“Acceptance is based on a viewing of the digital images in a prejudging process after submissions have closed.”

Mr Benson said acceptance of up to 900 artworks produced in the past 12 months would be advised on 5 January. A website preview of the exhibition will open the next day for potential buyers.

Artworks will become available for sale at the showcase exhibition opening on Friday 16 January at Peninsula Commu-nity Theatre, Mornington. Prizes valued at $10,500 will be awarded across various art genres.

This celebratory ‘Black and White’ event will feature the Four Seasons String Quar-tet, gourmet fi nger food and refreshments. “It promises to be a brilliant occasion that will set the scene for a memorable art exhi-bition,” Mr Benson said.

Tickets at $40 can be bought on the art exhibition website or at Farrell’s Book-shop, Main St, Mornington.

Artworks can be viewed and purchased over the exhibition 17-26 January.

YOUNG people interested in the outdoors and recreation and wanting to kick start their summer holidays can take part in a worthwhile opportunity.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is offering 20 young people the chance to undertake free train-ing to become junior camp leaders at Portsea camp. It will cover the $200 per person training costs.

“Learning how to become a junior camp leader is great fun, with training held in De-cember at Portsea,” youth programs coordinator Karl Kasbach said.

“Participants learn how to become junior camp leaders, with topics to be covered includ-ing bush skills, oceanography, high ropes train-ing and team building.”

Those successfully completing leader training can also volunteer for camps next January and April.

At the camps, junior leaders assist recreation offi cers by setting up and running sessions and activities and helping with the general running of the camp, as well as acting as ‘buddies’ for the junior camp attendees.

Junior camp leaders gain experience in outdoor education and recreation, team building and leadership skills, and, with further train-ing, can work towards a certifi cate of elemental leadership, the Duke of Edinburgh Award or a certifi cate III in recreation.

This opportunity is open to all young people aged 16-18 years who live, work or study on the Mornington Peninsula.

Training dates are 10-12 December at Portsea Camp.

Successful junior camp leaders can then vol-unteer for junior camps on 2-9 January, 11-17 January and 19-25 January. A camp is also being held in April, with dates to be determined.

Places are limited.Contact Laura at Mornington Peninsula Shire

SOUTH Mornington Junior Football Club will be a big winner if the Coalition wins re-election at this month’s state poll following announce-ment of a $700,000 grant for the redevelopment of Citation Oval Pavillion.

Mornington MP David Morris last week visited Citation Oval Reserve to announce that the Coali-tion would provide $700,000 towards construc-tion of a new pavilion if the party was re-elected.

“Home to the South Mornington Junior Foot-ball Club, the new pavilion will accommodate the needs of the growing club as well as other community groups in Mount Martha using the reserve facilities,” Mr Morris said.

South Mornington Junior Football Club presi-dent Paul Lonsdale said the club would have 12 junior sides next year, including a newly formed under 17s team, and was also looking to start up an under 17s girls team.

The club South Mornington Football Club also has two senior teams, as well as an Auskick clinic run in conjunction with Mt Martha which has around 320 participants.

More than 700 parents support the junior foot-ball club with further growth expected.

State cash for BERGState cash for BERGBALCOMBE Estuary Reserves Group has been awarded more than $11,000 from the state government to continue its work protecting and enhancing the Mount Martha environment.

Established in 1997, BERG undertakes wood-land restoration works in the upper Citation area of the Balcombe Creek Reserve.

The group was last week awarded $11,174 under the state government’s Communities for Nature program to protect and support native plants and animals.

“BERG members can regularly be seen hard at work removing pest plants from the reserve, and replacing them with indigenous plants raised from local seed stock, or turning their hands to the control of feral animals including rabbits and foxes,” Mornington MP David Morris said.

MEDICAL treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at Frankston and Rosebud hospitals is being overhauled in an effort to improve health outcomes among the peninsula’s indigenous community.

Peninsula Health chief executive Sue Williams said the organisation’s just-released Reconcili-ation Action Plan aimed to address factors that contributed to poor health outcomes for Abo-riginal and Torres Strait Islander people on the Mornington Peninsula.

She said plan was an “important collaborative document” that outlined how the entire organisa-tion aimed to make healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples more acces-sible.

“We know that poor health outcomes are hav-ing a detrimental effect on the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Reconciliation Action Plan is an important step forward as part of the broader National re-sponse,” Ms Williams said.

She said Frankston Hospital had the highest

percentage of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hospital admissions in the southern met-ropolitan region, with 42 per cent of the region’s admissions.

“Our hospitals at Frankston and Rosebud also have the highest percentage (56 per cent) of Ab-original and Torres Strait Islander presentations to an emergency department in the region,” she said. Peninsula Health’s action plan was forged in partnership with the region’s traditional custodians who helped identify how services and programs were culturally appropriate and better met the needs of the indigenous community, Ms Williams said.

Boon Wurrung Foundation senior elder Carolyn Briggs said Peninsula Health’s Rec-onciliation Action Plan linked with the “shared aspirations of the traditional custodians and community”.

“Peninsula Health understands that demon-strating respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an important part of the reconciliation process,” Ms Briggs said.

Action plan: Sue Williams, Carolyn Briggs, Peninsula Health cultural ambassador Shane Wright and board director Dr Laurie Warfe.

Foreshore savedForeshore savedENVIRONMENT Minister Ryan Smith has decided to revoke his coastal management consent for the use of the Rosebud foreshore as the location of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

This is a landmark decision and I thank the minister for his decisive action following the council’s decision that it no longer requires the use of the foreshore for this development.

The minister has congratulated the council on its dedication to actively engage with the community in the decision-making process.

The movement to “Save Rosebud Foreshore” had its genesis in the public meeting at Rosebud Memorial Hall organised by Cr Pittock and myself in May 2012. I thank Dr Alan Nelsen, president of Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, and Colin Watson, president of Nepean Ratepayers Association, who led lobbying of the council and government.

I also thank all those in the community and the council who have supported the movement to “Save Rosebud Foreshore” and voted for a decisive change in the council.

The contentious issue of a pool on the Crown land foreshore has held Rosebud back for nearly 15 years. The council can now get on with long overdue invigoration of the foreshore and the retail, commercial and local government heart of Rosebud.

Council offi cers have acted quickly to bring forward to the council a number of creative options for immediate invigoration of Rosebud and I look forward to these being rolled out by council in the coming months.

Beware of roos Beware of roos JUST a warning to people who drive along Craigie Rd in Mt Martha near Moorooduc Highway late at night – beware of kangaroos.

I was coming home at about 11pm recently and missed the fi rst kangaroo but collected the second with extensive damage done to my four-

wheel drive.I have lived here for 30 years, but this was the

fi rst kangaroo sighting.I contacted the police and was advised that

there are a lot of kangaroos in this area, near New Peninsula Baptist Church, and it was the second call they’d had in two days.

I guess it won’t be long before warning signs are erected.

State park not Luna ParkState park not Luna ParkIT was interesting to read Simon McKeon’s take on the objections to his Skylift chairlift proposal, which are currently being heard in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (“Skylift permit goes to VCAT”, The News, 4/11/14).

According to Mr McKeon, the main objections to the project centre on the top station being built at the summit. In fact, the main objections to the proposal centre on its inappropriate size and scale.

The gondolas referred to in the planning application will seat eight people, quite a bit larger than the quaint gondola pictured in the artist’s impression. A massive 17-metre pylon will dwarf the current lookout at the summit in order to deliver these gondolas across Arthurs Seat Rd to the huge top station, which will house a 100-seat cafe.

The lower station is also built on an intrusive scale that will dominate the entrance to Arthurs Seat State Park. Skylift will operate from 8am till 11pm, seven days a week throughout the year, causing noise, parking and traffi c problems.

A range of bushfi re safety issues have not been adequately addressed. Residents are not opposed to the chairlift being built on the original footprint, but we are very concerned that this precious environment, which has been enjoyed by generations of Victorians, will be lost forever.

DO it once, do it well and build a better Australia.

That’s the motto of Mt Mar-tha Rotary’s Pride of Work-manship awards which last week celebrated the achieve-ments of ordinary staff and emergency services workers in their workplace.

The awards night was held last week at Benitos Restau-rant, Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza. Guest speaker was Mike Shaw, a Moorooduc farmer and board member of the Victorian Farmers’ Federation.

“Pride of Workmanship en-genders a sense of responsibil-ity to one’s job - to do it well,” Rotary’s Tom Goulding said.

“The award gives employers

the opportunity to recognise their staff.”

Employers are asked to nominate staff possessing a strong commitment to high standards for themselves and their workplace.

This year’s awardees were John Walker and Sheila Wigey, of Mornington Secondary College, Evan Dowsett, of Warlimont and Nutt P/L and Masters, Tim Jolly, of Mt Martha CFA, Cheree Ap-pledore, of Commonwealth Bank Mornington, Natasha Montgomery, of Kids on Main, Peter Phillips, of Best Western and Brooklands Motel, and David Hampton, of Morning-ton Peninsula Shire Council.

COMMENTBy David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is ending a tumultuous year. Only a seer well prac-tised in the ancient art of reading a crystal ball could have, 12 months ago, predicted that some senior staff up to and including CEO Michael Kennedy would be gone.

Who could have predicted the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) would fi -nally be off the foreshore following an un-foretold byelection that changed the coun-cillor voting balance?

Presiding over all this tumult with varying degrees of success have been Dr Kennedy and mayor Antonella Celi. Cr Celi, who has had many excitable moments, probably looks forward to the 10 November shire an-nual general meeting with a mixture of ea-gerness and regret as she hands the burden of offi ce to a new mayor.

Who will it be? This writer (no seer) gen-erally supports the rota system for mayor: that is, everyone gets a turn at the essentially ceremonial but well-paid job, ensuring that every councillor, and every part of the shire, feels included in the process of local democ-racy.

But the rota system is not appropriate for next year, in my view. The Mornington Pen-insula is beginning a new era. Dr Kennedy has served the community since the fi nal year of the last millennium but his time is up with a majority of councillors agreeing his nearly 16-year tenure is long enough.

It can be argued with some force that the new CEO will be best served by an experi-enced councillor.

But the rota system I favour would limit the choice to the three councillors elected in 2012 (in alphabetical order) Andrew Dixon, David Garnock and Hugh Fraser.

Based on performance in and out of the chamber, barrister Hugh Fraser is the stand-out. But he appears to be very occupied by the new Rosebud development proposal and other matters that may make the mayoralty a straw too many, even for his strong back. Of the other two, David Garnock has the edge on Cr Dixon, who is prone to bouts of youthful impetuosity and hampered to a de-gree by his lack of life inexperience.

So who should the epoch-starting mayor be?

First, the mayor will almost certainly come from the new council majority – coun-cillors Lynn Bowden, Bev Colomb, Hugh Fraser, Graham Pittock, Tim Rodgers and Tim Wood. Cr Fraser remains a possible starter. Tim Wood is a freshman, elected just months ago to represent Red Hill Ward.

The other fi ve (councillors Celi, Garnock, Dixon, David Gibb and Anne Shaw) held the mayoralty this year via Cr Celi, despite her colleagues not having supported her for the job.

All have been mayor at least once – Cr Gibb was mayor three times, in 1999, 2000 and 2010. Cr Shaw was mayor in 2004 and 2009.

Cr Rodgers wore the chain in 2007, followed by Bev Colomb in 2008. Lynn Bowden held the offi ce in 2013, Graham Pittock in 2011. Former Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin reigned in 2012.

One could argue that, objectively, David Gibb and Anne Shaw are the longest-serv-ing councillors and thus the most experi-enced candidates for the 2015 mayoralty. But they are from the recently supplanted long-dominant faction and are therefore not likely to secure enough votes. Surely the newly dominant six will want “their” mayor?

One possibility is Graham Pittock. Popu-

lar and a capable performer, he is a recent holder of the offi ce but suffers the disad-vantage of not being able to vote on SPA matters, which are likely to be prominent next year.

Even if he can vote on most matters in-volved in the huge Rosebud revitalisation plan – that issue is to be decided by a state government minister – he would have to leave the chair, and the chamber, frequently over SPA.

Of the rest of the six, an “old” candidate appeals to this council watcher. I attended a meeting in Flinders a few months ago that dealt with the very contentious issue of a sculpture for the town. The gallery was un-ruly, albeit in a polite and restrained Flin-ders sort of way. It was brought to order as necessary by the fi rm, friendly intervention of chair Bev Colomb, mayor nearly a dec-ade ago.

Cr Colomb would be the shire’s third successive female mayor but I see this as no impediment: she may well be dealing with a new female CEO. More impor-tantly, Cr Colomb is regarded as highly ap-proachable, independent-minded and shire focused – with a special if not passionate interest in Mornington, her home turf.

Perhaps, in this special year, a sub-group of councillors will be established to li-aise with the new CEO. If Hugh Fraser is so minded he could serve the new mayor as part of such a group, along with David Gibb or Anne Shaw.

*Forgive me, Cr Colomb, for associating your name with “old”. Far, far more ad-vanced in years than you, I am consoled by that widely quoted author Anon, who said, “I’m not (insert age), I’m 18 with (insert number) years’ experience”.

See www.mpnews.com.au for confi rmation of the new mayor after Monday’s meeting.

Continued from Page 1The brothers believe the recreation-

al catch is 10 fi sh to their one. “The fi shing’s as good as it ever was. We go to the same places our grandfather went and catch the same quantities,” Dalton said. “That’s proof of the in-dustry’s sustainability.”

They point out that jobs will be lost “all the way up the chain” if the ban comes into effect. “Whoever we sup-ply will be affected - the fi shing boat crews, processors, fi sh shop assis-tants, waiters at restaurants …

“People don’t yet realise that all the ‘top table’ fi sh comes from the bay,” Neville said. “If we go there will only be fi shermen from Lakes Entrance and Corner Inlet, and if we go they’ll be next.”

Dalton’s son, Scott, 15, was plan-ning to be the family’s fi fth generation of commercial fi shers. “He’s keen as mustard,” his father said. “But it looks like it’s not to be.

“The government is treating fi shing like a sport – but it’s our livelihood and our life.”

Another commercial fi sherman whose job is on the line is Phil Mc-Adam, based at Williamstown but who purse seine nets for pilchards, sardines and anchovy “off Morning-ton and all the way down the southern peninsula”.

His produce is sold to fresh fi sh markets and as bait by recreational anglers.

“I have caught 100 tonnes in the past three months,” the third genera-tion fi sherman said. “If I am not al-lowed to fi sh in the bay it will all have to be imported because there is only

one other operator, at Lakes Entrance, and he sells his catch as tuna food.”

Mr McAdam, 51, started as a 13-year-old and has “done nothing else but fi sh”.

He says the fi shing “is as good as I remember” and scoffs at concerns the industry is unsustainable. “The past two months are as good as I have ever had.”

He says being weather-dependent, and having to spend two days pro-cessing and packaging his catch for every one day out fi shing, means he cannot over-fi sh a fi nite resource.

Banning commercial netters would also cause prices for popular snap-per and whiting to “skyrocket” on a black market, he says. “There will always be people willing to sell them illegally.

“Look, I don’t like having my fu-ture hanging on an election result. It’s a ridiculous situation where only a handful of people want to get rid of us. About 7 per cent of the population are recreational anglers and, of that number, perhaps 1 per cent is anti-commercial. They want to take the whole industry for themselves.

“We have been proven a sustainable industry by the Australian Conserva-tion Foundation and we have always been open and transparent. This is just a political vote catcher.”

Seafood Industry Victoria chairman Harry Peeters said the government was being hypocritical: “Make no mistake, this is the compulsory re-moval of jobs by a government that, through its tenure and the campaign for the upcoming election, ‘is all about creating jobs’,” he said.

He asked why those who don’t fi sh for fun should have their ability to buy fresh Victorian fi sh removed from them. “Commercial and recrea-tional fi shing have coexisted in the bays for many decades and this is a poorly thought out policy for political expediency.

“It’s a resource sharing issue. This government’s answer is to give the entire share to the recreational fi sher-men. The millions of others entitled to a share of the resource and who currently access that share via com-mercial fi shermen are now excluded. What compensation are they going to be given?

“The Coalition says a new, inde-pendent panel is going to consult with every self-interest group, but there is no mention of the main stakeholder: the people of Victoria who buy fresh fi sh from the bays.

“Where does the government expect Melburnians to get their fresh fi sh from now?

“At present, the Victorian commu-nity can be confi dent that when they buy fresh Victorian seafood they are supporting local, small-scale fi shing industries that are harvesting seafood in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.

“The supply from the Port Phil-lip Bay commercial fi shery needs to continue to ensure everyone is able to enjoy our fresh local produce.”

Mornington MP David Morris did not respond to a request for comment before publication deadline.

MORE than 1800 recreational anglers took to the waters of Western Port and Port Phillip last weekend for the country’s biggest annual fi shing competition, the Tea Tree Snapper Competition.

Tim Worral of Cranbourne South was crowned new Victorian Snapper Champion after landing an 8.83 kilogram big red in Port Phillip, while Darren Moore of Tyabb and Michael Haddad of Bittern came in second and third with catches weighing in at 8.68kg and 8.41kg respectively.

In the juniors section, Jasmine Buis of Ferntree Gully was crowned the winner with a 7.14 kilo-gram catch, while Josh Costanzo of Lysterfi eld (7.04 kg) and – Billy McGinn of Hastings (6.64 kg) came in second and third.

The two-day competition got off to a fl ying start on Friday as anglers looked to beat a weather

change that brought heavy winds and rains late Friday and throughout the day on Saturday.

A total of 1820 competitors, including 196 jun-iors, took part in the competition, with 1194 of the 1885 snapper caught being hooked in Western Port.

Competition spokesman John Vincent said most fi sh were hooked and weighed in on Friday at stations in Carrum, Hastings and Mornington.

“Anglers were well aware of the change coming on Friday night so most of the competitors were on the water on Friday to make the most of the good conditions,” Mr Vincent said. “It was pretty rough out on the bays on Saturday so numbers were down, but the offi cial presentation on Satur-day afternoon at Mornington Racecourse was still a big success – in between the showers.”

Coast grants a step in right directionALMOST $50,000 worth of grants have been al-located to help repair coastal assets at Morning-ton, Mt Martha and Mt Eliza following heavy erosion over recent years.

State government grants have been provided to reconstruct the damaged access ramp at Mills Beach in Mornington, build a walkway at Mount Martha to connect to existing stairs to allow beach access at the bottom of the coastal path just north of Augusta St, and to upgrade the stairs at Canadian Bay carpark in Mount Eliza.

Mornington MP, David Morris said $48,976 worth of funding was being delivered as part of the Victorian government’s Coastal Environ-ments Program to minimise coastal hazards and improve access along the state’s coastline.

A number of peninsula beaches have experi-enced severe erosion since 2009 following the commencement of extensive channel deepening works in Port Phillip in 2008, with Mt Martha and Portsea among the worst affected.

“Given the dynamic conditions of the coastal environment, protective structures require ongo-ing repairs and at times capital works to ensure their effectiveness and safety,” Mr Morris said.

“This funding recognises the signifi cant com-munity interest in making the coastline as safe as possible for locals and visitors alike.

“It also supports the signifi cant efforts of local residents in their work to make local beaches as safe as possible.”

Minister for the Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith said the program aimed to mitigate risks along the Victoria’s coastline.

“This funding recognises that the coast is a vibrant place, with wind and wave action, along with storm surge events having the potential to damage protective structures,” Mr Smith said.

The state government is also carrying out beach renourishment works involving the im-portation of thousands of tonnes of sand to pen-insula beaches under the $9 million Protection of Port Phillip Beaches and Foreshores program.

Caravan Sales, Repairs & Accessories Incorporating Mornington Peninsula Caravan Service

HUNDREDS of unemployed young people from the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region will be placed in unpaid positions with councils and charity based organisation over coming months as the federal government’s controversial Work for the Dole program swings into full operation.

Newly-appointed peninsula Work for the Dole provider Avocare is looking to forge partnerships with a range of council and community based organisations in order to identify placements for an estimated 1100 welfare recipients required to perform unpaid work for 15 hours a week as mandated by the Abbott government.

The Frankston and peninsula region was se-lected as one of 18 “high-unemployment areas” around Australia to spearhead a trial of Coali-tion government’s revitalised Work for the Dole program, details of which were unveiled in this year’s federal budget.

Under the program, “job seekers” aged be-tween 18 and 30 who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform around 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a six-month period to be eligible to continue to receive unemployment benefi ts.

The Work for the Dole scheme began being rolled out within the 18 regions identifi ed as hav-ing “unacceptably high levels of youth unem-ployment” from 1 July.

The rest of the country will follow in July 2015, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week.

Avocare last month opened its fi rst peninsula “community warehouse” which will provide training and employment opportunities for 100 jobseekers, while a further 1000 positions will be made available with “partner organisations” such as councils, charities, and op shops.

Based at Hastings, the Avocare Community

Connect Warehouse will operate under a not-for-profi t model providing a range of social services such as restoration and recycling of household furniture items for later distribution through char-ity organisations such as op shops.

The warehouse will also establish a community toy library, with donated toys to be cleaned and checked for safety before being made available for peninsula families to borrow.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson last Monday joined a community information breakfast at Morning-ton along with representatives from Avocare, council and community-based organisation to outline details of the Work for the Dole program.

Mr Billson said Avocare was an award winning not-for-profi t community organisation that would serve as the fi rst point of contact for organisations across the Frankston and peninsula region wanted to become involved in Work for the Dole scheme.

Peninsula Work for the Dole coordinator Phoe-

be Prowd said the program was “specifi cally tar-geting” youth unemployment.

“The focus of the new program is to place job seekers into real work-like situations so that they can gain work experience,” Ms Prowd said.

She said that while placements could be group based, such as in the case of Hastings Community Connect Warehouse, most were on an individual ba-sis, such as working in op shops, gardening or retail.

Ms Prowd said Work for the Dole not only pro-vided a way for job seekers to “contribute back to the community that supports them” but also of-fered a proven pathway to long term work.

“There have been some wonderful job seekers who have come through Work for the Dole previ-ously who have become an integral part of that organisation,” she said.

“Crucially, Work for the Dole gives job seek-ers the chance to develop a range of transferable skills such as team building, communication and

Chris [email protected]

Jobless young people get Work for Dole call-up Jobless young people get Work for Dole call-up work ethic, as well as accumulate valuable work experience.”

She said Work for the Dole could also play a crucial role in building stronger communities.

“At its core, it’s about building relationships with people,” she said. “This is the key to the success of the program and it is what facilitates the process of job seekers transitioning into employment.”

Avocare CEO Trish Keilty said she strongly believed the activities provided through her or-ganisation helped change lives and provided a proven pathway to long-term employment.

“Feedback from the community and partici-pants demonstrates that the Work for the Dole experience is a valuable and integral service that creates opportunity for participants to overcome barriers and re-engage with their community whilst developing key employability, foundation and task skills,” she said.

“We strongly believe that our activities have the capacity to improve disadvantaged and dis-engaged jobseekers lives by providing the op-portunity to learn, develop and build skills in a supportive and positive environment.”

She said Work for the Dole placements would be offered through Avocare to peninsula not for profi t organisations and agencies such as schools, charities, op shops, churches, community houses, animal shelters.

Roles include gardening, administration, hos-pitality, kitchen hand, animal handling, teachers aide, customer service and warehouse operations.

Avocare has won praise for its work in collect-ing and distributing food relief to organisations and charities who service local homeless and dis-enfranchised people.

The program, which operates in partnership with Foodbank Victoria, is expected to begin in the Frankston-peninsula region in the future.

However, at present, the Avocare Commu-nity Connect Hastings Warehouse will focus on restoring and distributing household furniture items and toys.

Leading the way: Workers at Avocare’s Community Connect Distribution Centre and Kitchen in Dandenong, which operates in partnership with Foodbank Victoria, not only receive on-the-job training and work experience but also help provide a vital food relief to the needy.

THE fi nishing touches have just been completed on this outstanding beachside home and now, for the discerning buyer, arguably one of Mornington’s fi nest and freshest properties is available to purchase in as new condition. The lifestyle is enviable with a privileged position hard to match. Cosmopolitan Main Street is about two blocks away and Fishermans Beach is equally close by. A splendid 232-square metre (25 square) fl oor plan exudes class and sophistication with nothing but the fi nest fi nishes creating a vibrant and visually stunning interior that is sure to excite. From the grand entry foyer, a pleasant multi-purpose room – perfect as a study or studio is to the left, and opposite, is the master bedroom boasting a walk-in robe and an elegant ensuite with twin vanity unit and gorgeous full-length mirror. Timber fl oors create a reassuring sense of warmth as you proceed into the main living zone that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. The beautiful open plan space incorporates generous living and dining areas, while the fi rst-class kitchen perfectly combines form and function with gleaming two-pac cabinetry and recessed area for a double-door refrigerator. The glistening Calcutta marble benchtops, that also feature in the bathrooms, are a sight to behold, however the eyes cannot fail to be drawn to the alfresco entertaining deck, where the natural greens and darker timbers used here sensationally juxtapose with the crisp white interior. To complete this wing of the home are two more bedrooms with built-in robes that share an impressive main bathroom that would rival those seen on The Block. A comprehensive list of appointments one would expect in a home of this calibre include heated fl oors to the bathroom and ensuite, and from the street, the double garage has internal access via the laundry.

COMMERCIAL investor confi dence in Frankston is at a welcome high according to Linda Ellis of Nichols Crowder Real Estate Solutions in Carrum Downs. Ms Ellis points to several examples in the past year where prices paid for Frankston commercial freeholds have far exceeded expectations, with returns to the purchaser that would be on par with those seen in Melbourne and surrounds. The company’s most recent sale was a tenanted property on the corner of Wells Street and Park Row, in the heart of the Frankston Central Activities District, which sold for $556,000 – equating to a 4.4%

return to the purchaser. Ms Ellis points to two other sales; one of a 120-square metre block of land, also in Wells Street, which recently sold for more than $3000 per square metre, and a double storey retail building in Station Street which sold above the vendor’s expected price as indicators that the growth of commercial real estate in Frankston is very positive.“Purchasers have greater confi dence in Frankston commercial properties than ever before and we are achieving some outstanding results for our clients.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Compiled by Melissa HodgeTODAY (Saturday) the Somerville Social Club will give a lecture by Mr Batchelor, from New Guinea, on “The Empire Tableaux”. Members of the club will be admitted free, non-members admission 1s.

*** MR Stanley Rogers, one of the em-ployees of the Frankston Post Offi ce met with an accident while waiting at the railway station on Thursday evening, by falling off the platform onto the railway, resulting in a fracture of a bone in the right arm, above the wrist.

***MISS Rosa Alba completely cap-tured the House, at a Ballarat con-cert recently. The local paper said that Rosa Alba’s rendering of “Dear Bird of Winter” was vociferously received. This item will be sung at the Choral Concert on December 5th 1914. Don’t miss it.

***THE anniversary of the Frankston Methodist Sunday School takes place on Sunday next when special sermons will be preached by the Rev. R. Jackson in the morning and Rev. W. V. Hunt in the afternoon and evening. The children will also sing specially selected hymns which they have been fastidiously practicing for some time. On the Monday morning a public meeting will be held in the church for which a good programme has been arranged.

***MR Win Gregory, of Frankston,

met with a very painful accident on Friday last, while out for a day’s fi shing at Davey’s Bay in company with Messrs F. Burton and B. Young.

They had lighted a fi re to boil a treacle tin of water to make tea and while in the act of lifting the tin off the fi re, the steam burst the lid off and the steam and water fl ew up into Mr Gregory’s face, severely scald-ing him.

He at once proceeded home and the services of Dr Maxwell were requisitioned who at once applied the usual remedies.

We are pleased to say that the sufferer is progressing satisfactorily towards recovery though it will be some time before the marks of the accident are gone.

***THE two Cup Steeplechases run at Flemington last week were won by that brilliant steeplechaser, Swedish Lad, spotted on each occasion by Mr Claude Grice, of Frankston.

This makes Swedish Lad seventh successive victory and on Saturday, carrying 12st 71bs, he ran the three miles one furlong (the National distance) in 6 mins, 29 secs, which is six seconds slower than Zephu-ron’s National record for the same distance.

The public appeared much disappointed when Zephuron was scratched for both the above events, the reason being assigned to the hardness of the ground, and the risk in consequence of a breakdown.

Swedish Lad pulled up very lame

after Saturday’s contest.***

THE S.S. Indrapura, which is due to arrive in Melbourne about the 23rd November, is bringing to Victoria from Great Britain a number of men and lads who will be available for employment on farms or in other work immediately upon arrival.

The party includes 59 men and 108 lads, and the Immigration Bureau of 555 Flinders Street, Mel-bourne, is now receiving applica-tions from farmers or other country employers who may be requiring labor, and will be glad to have early advice of any openings available.

The men are experienced in farm work and a few of them, who are married, will be available for engagement with their wives as mar-ried couples.

***THE following most fl attering notice we cut from the Sydney Bulletin of Miss Rosa Alba who is given a complimentary concert by the Frankston Choral Society, on 5th December.

“Rosa Alba is a gentle lass of a lit-tle lady who occasionally lifts a nice soprano voice in charity’s aid.

Some mission movement induced the songstress to reveal the dimen-sions of her gift on a recent evening, and before the entertainment had expired she had to take shelter from the bouquets.

In fact she was such a success that people are advising her to take her warble to a bigger market.

Miss Alba, who is beset with good looks, bears an embarrassing resem-blance to Gaby Desbys the hussy who fl irted with ex-King, Manoll when that juvenile’s kingdom was bursting”.

***A NOVELTY for Frankston in the shape of an American Tea will be held in the Park this (Saturday) afternoon and evening, the proceeds going towards reducing the debt on brass band instruments.

The novelty for Frankston in the the modus operandi of this tea ap-pears to be that those who attend are expected to take a gift and at the same time purchase some of the numerous articles that are on view for sale.

Diversions will be given in the shape of a Xmas tree, shooting gal-lery, and other favorite amusements, and the band will play selections during the afternoon.

Those doubtless who attend, will enjoy a pleasant afternoon’s amuse-ment, besides assisting a well de-serving cause to clear itself of debt.

***ON Sunday afternoon last Rev. P. E. Watts met with a very painful acci-dent, which was very luckily not at-tended with more serious results.

While travelling from the Vicarage to the local church, his motor cycle struck some loose metal and threw him heavily to the road, causing some nasty cuts and bruises about the face and hands. We wish him a speedy recovery.

***ON Sunday next, 22nd, the Arch-bishop of Melbourne will conduct the Order of Confi rmation service at All Saints Church.

Quite a large number of young people have made preparations for being confi rmed. The service will commence at three o’clock in the af-ternoon.

***IN the report of the All Nations Fair under this heading, in last issue, it was inadvertently omitted that Mrs Howell took a leading part in the management of the produce stall and also that very valuable assistance was provided in, the tea rooms by Mesdames Holly, Steer and Mills senior.

***THE Frankston Progress Association held their usual monthly meeting in the hall on Wednesday evening.

From Constable McCormack en-quiries are being made with regard rubbish cleared on the beach side of Oliver’s Hill.

Seconded by Mi McComb, and car-ried.

Mr Hay spoke of the bad smells arising from some of the drains in Frankston, and suggested that the council be asked to get same tarred.

He also suggested that the bathing boxes on the beach have signboards on them signifying the ladies’ and gentlemen’s boxes.

From the pages of the Morning-ton Standard, 14 November, 1914.

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro AH yes, the fi ckle guardian of our Bays has being playing havoc with fi sherman’s plans.

Spring weather is nature’s closed season. However when conditions have been good anglers have getting on the fi sh.

Snapper: In both Port Phillip and Western Port, the Reds are fi ring and with the state of the ramps it’s a fair assumption that the whole of Victoria is gripped by the Red Fever.

In Western Port, Joes Island, Eagle Rock, Lysarghts and Cornelia are seeing some great catches. Best baits are fresh squid and fl esh baits, however the humble pilchard and USA squid have also been a reliable back up. With fi sh biting on the change of tide as well as the run anglers are getting plenty of opportunity the get amongst the fi sh.

In Port Phillip, the snapper have been showing up everywhere. Hot spots have been Mornington, Mt Eliza, Seaford, Rickets Point and Carrum to name just a few.

The best bites have been on the change of tide, again while fresh baits have been best, pilchards and USA squid have been a reliable back up. Burley has been used to great effect in Port Phillip, remember a little bit often goes a long way.

Soft plastics have also accounted for a lot of snapper, with the best times being during the middle of the day, making them a good option for the active angler looking to change things up a bit.

For those stuck land based Mornington is the pick of the area with a number of snapper landed this week to over 6kg.

Gummy sharks are also about in reasonable numbers in both bays, while most are snapper by catch those fi shing near the entrances are targeting and landing some monsters up to 30kg!

Whiting are back! Tyabb bank in Western Port has been best, while the waters off Rosebud have also produced for both boat and land based anglers. A few locals at Mornington have been getting amongst the “Ting”, the areas of Bird Rock and Mt Eliza are the choice locations for those fi shing the reef edges. Pippies, mussels and fresh squid are the best baits.

Squid continue to be good in both bays, some days they are easier than others, however those fi shing the reefs and grass beds are getting amongst the inkers! In Port Phillip fi sh in 2-4m using a 2.0-3.0 jig and in Western Port fi sh 3-5m with 3.0-3.5 jigs.

The last few weeks have also seen some quality fl athead landed, while the usual small rats are ever present the occasional 40cm plus model is making a welcome appearance. The bigger fi sh have been in shallower water less than 8m.

While the above mentioned are most people’s prime targets, baracouta, salmon, pike, leather jacket, red mullet and a whole lot more are all waiting an anglers offerings, so pick your weather window and get out on the water!

Tight lines and calm seas.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE RESEARCH AT ST JOHN OF GOD FRANKSTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

Parkinson’s Disease is the second most common neurological disorder in Australia with 64,000 Australians diagnosed with the disease in 2011.

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurological disorder affecting the motor nervous system altering coordination and movement.People with Parkinson’s Disease experience progressive declines in mobility that can be attributed to the decrease in speed and size of movements. It is often associated with impaired walking and balance reducing quality of life and as a result many Parkinson’s Disease sufferers become relatively immobile and deconditioned.There is a need to develop enjoyable therapeutic interventions and exercises, where the risk of falling is decreased. Research is required to

of interventions such as hydrotherapy on the Parkinson’s population.Professor Meg Morris from Latrobe University commented “This collaborative research project between St John of God Frankston

Rehabilitation Hospital and Latrobe University aims to explore whether

living with Parkinson’s Disease. We are measuring people walking over ground with and without visual cues and attention strategies, and then measuring them in the water. We are particularly interested in people with freezing of gait and early results suggest that freezing is less severe and sometimes absent in the aqueous environment. The implications for Allied Health Therapies and quality of life are being investigated.”Claire Ferguson, Director of Allied

in Australia that the feasibility of running hydrotherapy sessions for this population has been formally investigated and we are excited to have established a close working partnership with Professor Morris, who is a widely published and world renowned Parkinson’s Disease expert.”“We look forward with much anticipation to the outcomes of this

those people living with Parkinson’s Disease.”

PAGE 62 Mornington News 11 November 2014

By Stuart McCulloughSOMETIMES you’ve got to confront your past. For me, the pain of my tur-bulent youth can best be summarized in just one word: Monkey. It was a television show that screened on ABC on weekday afternoons. In a Wheel of Fortune world, Monkey was utterly berserk. For starters, the eponymous character is born out of an egg perched on a mountaintop. Say what you will about afternoon TV programming, but you don’t get that with Baby John Bur-gess. It also had a cracking theme song that claimed our hero was the ‘punki-est monkey that ever popped’. Who were we to argue? It was, by far, the strangest most bizarre thing we had ever seen. Of course we loved it.

Monkey had a magical staff by which I mean a stick rather than an admin assistant and a receptionist. He also had a set of a-grade quality side-burns. Drafted by Tripitaka for a quest to retrieve holy scriptures and return some overdue videotapes, Monkey was joined by Pigsy and Sandy as he battled the odds to fulfi l his des-tiny. He was also able to summon up clouds on which he could fl y and this, by any measure, was incredibly cool. But there was a problem – Monkey was based (albeit loosely) on Buddhist philosophy, except for the theme song that was based on general awesome-ness. Suspicious of these infl uences and concerned that we were being indoctrinated, we were banned from watching Monkey. That my brother and I had attempted to replicate some of the fi ght scenes using a broom and

the vacuum cleaner probably didn’t help much. We would never see Mon-key again.

In the town of Ubud in Bali is a monkey forest. I don’t know whether Pigsy and Sandy will be there too, but today’s the day I fi nd out. After sev-eral days of massage, reading and gen-erally not doing very much, we have decided to see the sights. We’ve hired a driver for the day and are ready for adventure, by which I mean I’m cov-ered in sunscreen. But before we get to the monkey forest, there are some temples to visit.

I rarely wear a dress. I kid myself

that this is strictly a comfort thing but the cold hard truth is that I avoid them because, when push turns to sartorial shove I’m concerned about sticking out. I choose to conform rather than confront. However, this conservative approach to fashion did not prevent me from wearing torn jeans for much of the nineties, under which I had sewn pieces of paisley patterned material. I had thought that this made me look super cool. With the benefi t both of hindsight and photographic evidence, I now concede that I was drastically mistaken. Given the choice between wearing those jeans and a high quality

skirt, I’d give serious consideration to the latter.

When in another country, it’s im-portant to observe the local customs. In Bali, this mostly means driving a scooter like a maniac and squeez-ing limejuice onto every meal. It also means wearing a sarong whenever you visit a temple. Given that I forgot to pack a sarong, our guide has a couple of ‘loaners’ on hand. Mine is green and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it makes me look dashing in a very man-dress kind of way. It’s surprisingly comfortable.

Between temples, we are pulled over by the police who, after speaking to the driver, are paid an amount of money. This is Bali’s biggest problem: corrup-tion. The police put up roadblocks and demand cash. The money is then spent on local infrastructure projects such as lunch. Locals are dismayed whenever they’re intercepted and take circuitous routes to avoid these improvised toll-ways. We see plenty of countryside and rice fi elds. The strangest thing I discover is Kopi Luwack, which is a form of coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive tract of Toddy cat. Yuck.

We let our guide decide where we have lunch. This, as it turns out, is a rookie mistake. In Australia, there’s a place called Food Star that Kate’s grandparents are fond of. It’s one of those ‘all you can eat’ kind of experi-ences rather than a gastronomic won-derland. Our driver abandons us at the Indonesian equivalent of Food Star. It’s likely that he will receive some

kind of commission for doing so. The food, frankly, looks as though it’s been prepared using the Kopi Luwack tech-nique.

When we reach the Monkey forest, I am told that I may now remove my sa-rong. I’d become accustomed to it. But as I remove the garment, I realise my mistake. My pants are black. The t-shirt I’m wearing is bright yellow. I’m about to enter an area overrun with thousands of monkeys and I have, it seems, dressed like a giant banana.

They’re everywhere. Within mo-ments I am surrounded. Surely they will realise that I am not a piece of oversized fruit? I see another tourist. He has a headband with a camera at-tached. This man has lured a monkey to his shoulder by placing a piece of fruit on it. The creature has crawled along the man’s shoulder, eaten and then deployed the Kopi Luwack meth-od down his shirt. Granted, the man seems a little obnoxious and if I was a monkey I might have done the same thing. But I take it as a warning – it’s time to make like a banana and split. Using all my magical powers, I sum-mon up a cloud and leap on it without a moment to lose. Subtitles appear be-low me as I tell the monkeys to back off before fl ying on my cloud to safety and reuniting with Pigsy and Sandy. They don’t recognise me at fi rst be-cause, after all, I’m disguised as a giant banana. But we’ve all learned a valuable lesson, a fact made clear by the voiceover just before the credits start to roll.

SEYMOUR MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCEContinuing in the vein of recently successes with Katie Noonan, The Australian Queen Tribute Show and the Absolutely 80s Show, the Grand Hotel in Mornington is proud to present two of Australia’s most enduring songwriters and performers, together on the same bill, right here in our backyard again. Mark Seymour is internationally regarded as one of Australia’s best singer/songwriters. Since making his name as the lead singer of Hunters & Collectors, Seymour has enjoyed a stellar career as a singer and acoustic guitarist, as well as composing fi lm scores, writing and performing music for

theatrical productions and acting. He reached Australian rock cult status throughout the 80’s and 90’s as the lead singer for Hunters & Collectors, performing around the world as the rollicking eight-piece funk ensemble.When in 1998, Seymour decided he’d done all he could as the front man of Hunters & Collectors, he plunged into the unknown, fi nding himself alone on stage with just an acoustic guitar. In going solo, Seymour discovered a new and refreshing intensity in his voice that he believed he lost in the band.Mark Seymour’s subsequent fi ve solo albums, each of which has been highly successful, still bare the raw, emotional

hallmarks of his writing for the landmark Hunters & Collectors album, Human Frailty.Last year saw the release of his latest album Seventh Heaven Club, the second with his brilliant new band The Undertow, featuring Cameron McKenzie on Guitar, John Favaro on Bass and Peter Maslen on Drums. A passionate, intense vocalist, Seymour continues to draw a strong crowd and form an indelible part of Australia’s musical songbook. Extensive touring still powers the lifeblood of his musical existence, with the forthcoming show at The Grand Hotel sure to include many Undertow and Hunters & Collectors

favourites. The evening will also include one or two Badloves songs, with former frontman Michael Spiby announced as the solo acoustic support. Mark Seymour & The Undertow play The Grand Hotel in Mornington on November 28, with acoustic support Michael Spiby. Pre-sale tickets are available from the venue for $35, with 3-course dinner and show packages available as well for $80. Doors open 7:30pm, with support on at 8:30pm and Mark Seymour on from 9:30pm.

Returning for its second year, November 16’s Fluid Fest at Daveys in Frankston will again showcase great Australian beers, ciders, wines and bourbon, as well as offer up an equally appetising live music menu for the day, from 11am. Kicking off the day will be one of the Peninsula’s most well known and loved blues/jazz performers, Rob Papp, who has 40+ years of experience in the local and international music scene. Having studied under the likes of Robin Ford and recorded with the late great Tommy Tedesco, Papp has spent many years passing his knowledge on to the youth of the Peninsula, teaching at Blue Note College of Music in Frankston and performing around town solo and with his band ‘Blueshead’.Following Papp will be Daveys regular favourite Matt Bradshaw, who has been performing Sundays in recent times and played last year in a duo format for the inaugural festival. Bradshaw began his music career just after high school, quickly being whisked away overseas to tour as a lead vocalist/guitarist for three years and over 1000 gigs. Having travelled in the same circles – and often performed alongside – acts like UB40, America, KISS, John Farnham, Jon Stevens and more, he’s also got eight CD releases to his credit as well as a publishing deal with Sony music. A born entertainer, he’ll set the perfect mid-afternoon live music vibe, alongside the festival festivities.Rounding out the day will be Scott Hunter Duo, otherwise known at times as ‘Round Town’. Along with duo partner Lukey ‘Harpo’ Kehoe on harmonica and vocals, Hunter’s guitar/stomp box blues and roots style has always ensured full dancefl oors and discerning music lovers are both satisfi ed. Able to inject energy as well as craft distinctly unique versions of covers classics, the two have only recently reunited after eight years of solo performance each and are ready to bookend the Fluid Festival with a bang. Each act will be performing at least two sets, with Rob Papp starting at 11am, Matt Bradshaw playing from 2pm and Scott Hunter Duo taking the stage at 5pm. Don’t miss the Fluid Festival at Daveys Hotel, 510 Nepean Highway, Frankston on November 16. For details, head to www.daveys.com.au or www.fluidfestival.com.au.

scoreboardMORNINGTON NEWS

PROVINCIALBy IT Gully RYE is staring down the barrel of an outright loss after a disastrous opening day of their round four clash against Baxter.

Despite playing at RJ Rowley Reserve, the home deck didn’t prove to be a very happy hunting ground for the Demons.

Baxter won the toss and sent the Demons into bat.

Just 36 overs later, all 10 Rye batsmen were back in the sheds and it was time for the bowlers to warm their shoulders. They were dismissed for just 117.

Leigh Paterson made light work of the Demons’ batsmen, ripping through the top and bottom order to fi nish with the impressive fi gures of 5/22 from just eight overs.

Dale Irving took the new pill and helped himself to 2/14 from nine overs.

The only Rye batsman to offer any resistance was teenager Brady Egan, who hit 40, while Dean Collins hit 17 coming it at number 10.

Baxter could smell an outright and their intentions were known from the outset of their innings.

Shane McComb and Ben Matters were both dismissed early before Daniel Warwick blasted an unbeaten 74, including 10 fours and two sixes. It was vintage Warwick and something we haven’t seen for a while.

If he didn’t do enough with the ball taking 5-for, Paterson also whacked a quick fi re 27, 24 of those runs coming in boundaries.

After 37 overs and with another seven overs left in the day, Baxter declared its innings at 7/164, a lead of

47. Paterson capped off a dominating day of cricket with the scalp of Rye opener James Crowe for a duck in the second innings.

Rye will resume at 1/4 this weekend, still trailing by 43 runs and with just nine wickets in hand.

Peninsula Old Boys have set Crib Point 263 for victory after cruising to 8/262 in 73 overs on Saturday.

The Old Boys won the toss and batted fi rst and despite losing Dylan O’Malley early, a number of batsmen were able to get going.

Brandon Lawler scored 31, Ed Bowen 54, Jon Forest 53 and Justin Parkes made a cameo at the end with an unbeaten 35. Matty Hyden, who has dominated in the opening three games, was dismissed for 18.

Mt Eliza needs to get its season back on track and it appears it has done exactly that against Heatherhill.

The Mounties approached this game with aggression and made 7/258 in 77 overs before declaring their innings, Tristan Faithfull the star with 106.

Tom Ewing opened the innings with 37 while Jason Mathers was amongst the runs yet again with 32.

Brett and Brad Maxwell each claimed two wickets for the Hills.

Facing the last three overs of the day, Sam Creffi eld picked-up a wicket for the Mounties and they now have the Hills 1/9.

Pines will need to be at their best with the bat when they take to the middle against Long Island.

The Islanders won the toss and batted fi rst and fi nished their 80 overs with 252 for the loss of eight wickets.

Scotty Phillips and Justin Bridgeman enjoyed a 108-run partnership, Phillips scoring 88 and Bridgeman 65.

Peter Connell also got his side away to a strong start with 48.

Nick Wilcox and Ricky Ramsdale were the pick of the Piners’ bowlers with 3/67 and 3/81 respectively.

Mornington’s bowlers have again got their side out of strife after their batsmen again let them down against Moorooduc.

The Ducs won the toss and sent the home side into bat.

The Dogs top order did O.K and at one stage were 3/80, before a middle and lower order collapse.

Luke Popov top scored with 49 and Ben Clements hit 26 to be their side’s best batsmen. However, the Dogs scrambled to 158 off 70 overs.

Greg Pullen and Justin McCleary were the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with three wickets each.

Needing to capitalise with the bat in the last nine overs of the day, Moorooduc needed to ensure their wickets stayed intact.

However, Michael Heib knocked over both openers in Ben Williams and Bobby Wilson to have the visitors 2/25 at stumps.

Like Mornington, Langwarrin’s batsmen need to be at their best this weekend after their bowlers again did the job against Sorrento.

The Sorras looked like they were getting away from the Kangas when the score was 2/140, however, the visitors lost their last eight wickets for just 70 runs. In the fi nal over of the day, Sorrento was bowled out for 210.

Liam O’Connor top scored with 71 while Nick Jewell scored 51, backing up from his ton the previous week.

Dwayne Doig bowled 33 overs and fi nished with 5/68, while James D’Atri bowled 20 overs and snared 4/64.

Runs chase: Seaford is chasing down Main Ridge’s runs total in their District match. Picture: Andrew Hurst

DISTRICTBy IT Gully LIKE the catchcry ‘180’ in darts, Red Hill skipper Simon Dart fell just seven runs short of that total in a masterful display of batting against Carrum in MPCA District cricket.

It seems every time the master batsmen needs to step up to the plate and deliver, he does so.

Dart was pretty much a one-man show on Saturday against the Lions, hitting three quarters of the team’s total of 9/290 at Red Hill Reserve.

The next highest score was 31 from Riley Shaw, while Andrew Mock helped himself to 28.

Carrum’s bowlers didn’t do a bad job. They just came up against undoubtedly the best batsman in the competition.

Dart treated all bowlers with contempt, smacking them to all parts of the ground.

Carrum used seven bowlers in a bid to remove Dart with John Mitchell the man to eventually get the job done.

Mitchell was the best of the bowlers with 3/22 from just seven overs.

Hastings has set Boneo a

solid total of 233 to chase down in their match at Thomas Barclay Oval.

The Blues had some terrible performances with the bat, however, openers Daniel Esler and Matthew Foy got their side away to a fl ier, combining for an opening stand of 81.

Esler was the fi rst to go with the score on 81. The Blues went from 0/81 to 3/81 before Tim Birch joined Foy.

Foy eventually went for 49, however, he and the skipper had raced the score to 146. Birch fi nished with 44, while Mitch Floyd contributed 19.

Jack Fowler was the best of the Pandas’ bowlers with 5/44 from 19 overs, while Leigh Janssen snared 3/54.

Seaford Tigers are in the box seat to win its match against Baden Powell after restricting the home side to just 6/180 off 80 overs.

At one stage the Braves were 5/40, before Mac Watson (54), Travis Kellerman (42) and Daniel Di Paolo (34) came to the rescue.

Seaford used seven bowlers, Matty Meagher claiming 2/19 from 15 overs and Tom Sinclair picking up two wickets also.

Seaford is just 25 runs away

from victory against Main Ridge with fi ve wickets still in hand.

Seaford rolled the Ridge for just 138 in 52.2 overs, David Pageni and Faisal Payenda each taking three wickets.

Billy Sakalis was the top scorer for Main Ridge with 25.

In reply, Seaford was 2/27, before Damien Lawrence came to the rescue with 47.

However, Seaford is still not out of the woods at 5/114.

Mt Martha has set Delacombe Park 227 for victory in their round four match.

Playing on their home deck, Mt Martha won the toss and elected to take advantage of the good batting conditions.

Chris Brittain was the best of the Delacombe bowlers with 3/58.

In the fi nal match, Somerville is in the box seat in its match against Flinders.

The Eagles batted fi rst and made 191 in 62 overs, Aaron Kaddatz top scoring with 60.

Blake Hogan-Keogh was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 5/45.

In reply, Flinders is in strife at 3/49.

THIS WED, THUR, FRI & SAT!

HYUNDAI has launched its most signifi cant, sophisticated and technologically advanced car yet – the acclaimed Genesis sedan.

Genesis is Hyundai’s high-tech global fl agship and easily the most advanced and luxurious car ever to wear a Hyundai badge.

It delivers ground-breaking levels of refi ne-ment and astonishing value for money, and embodies Hyundai’s fl ourishing reputation as a global automotive pacesetter.

Importantly, for Australia the handsome and prestigious Genesis has been specifi ed and locally tuned to match the world’s big-name prestige and luxury car brands for a fraction of their prices.

In terms of cabin space and luxury, Genesis matches or exceeds the prestige and luxury car establishment against which it was bench-marked. And thanks to Hyundai’s commitment to delivering value to customers, this impressive combination of sophistication, technology and capability is remarkably attainable.

While the left-hand-drive-only fi rst-generation ‘BH’ Genesis garnered rave reviews and major awards -- including the coveted 2009 North American Car of the Year – the all new second-generation DH model eclipses its predecessor in every way.

DH has already collected a long list of inter-national design, quality and technology awards. Included in those awards are the prestigious Red Dot Product Design and iF (International Forum Design GmbH) awards.

Following technical development at Hyundai’s R&D Centre in Namyang, Korea, high-speed and durability testing of the DH Genesis was carried out at the famed Nordschleife part of the Nurburgring, in Germany, and at Yeongam Circuit, Korea. Extreme hot-weather testing was conducted in Death Valley, Colorado (USA), while extreme cold-weather testing was carried out on Sweden’s famed Argeplog Lake. Final durability testing was also carried out in Eastern and Central Australia.

As well as 5* ANCAP rating, Genesis was awarded the highest ANCAP score ever achieved in local crash testing. Like its pre-decessor, this second-generation Genesis has also been awarded a 2014 Top Safety Pick+ Award, the highest honour given by America’s Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Genesis also earned a coveted ‘Good’ rating in the demanding IIHS small overlap crash test.

Signifi cantly, the new Genesis also was ranked highest in the infl uential JD Power IQS (Initial Quality Study), the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality, measured after 90 days of ownership.

Thanks to the exhaustive attentions of Hyun-dai Motor Company Australia’s Product Plan-ning and Engineering team, the rear-wheel-drive Genesis was further refi ned to deliver uniquely Australian-focused driveability.

The arrival of the important new Genesis here emphatically ushers in a new era in Australia’s prestige and luxury car landscape.

IN a tribute to 20 years of Craig Lowndes thrilling fans and winning races, Holden has teamed up with the Australian motorsport and V8 Supercars icon to produce a Special Edition Commodore that fans across the country will love.

Peter Keley, Holden’s Director of Sales, said the company was incredibly proud to work with Craig to produce this very special Commodore.

“After 20 years of Craig Lowndes break-ing records and claiming victories – and with so many of those moments coming behind the wheel of a Commodore – it’s only fi tting that Holden honours that relationship with the Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore,” said Mr Keley.

“This race-inspired Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore has been created by our talented Holden engineers and designers with Craig’s input and approval. It is a rolling testament to a man whose success and character has cemented his name into Australian Motor-sport history”.

The top-of-the-range MY15 SS V Redline is the starting point for Holden’s designers and engineers to work their magic with a number of unique performance and visual enhancements for the Craig Lowndes Special Edition.

As fi tting for a motorsport-inspired model, the Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Com-modore has the racetrack as the inspiration for many of its upgrades. Four-piston Brembo brakes fi tted front and rear mean outstanding resistance to fade during track sessions, the paddle-shifters on the automatic transmission add to the car’s track-focussed nature and the upgraded suspension bushes enhance handling at the limit.

New 20-inch black alloy wheels give the car an unmistakeable presence and aggressive stance.

Available in Red Hot or Heron White, the

Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Com-modore also features unique body side decals, hood decal and chrome fi nished boot badge. Black grille and fender vents, a black roof and black window surrounds combine to produce a motorsport aesthetic.

Interior enhancements include a distinctive embroidered ‘Craig Lowndes’ signature on the dash pad. The introduction of paddle shifters (automatic transmission only), allows drivers to utilise the ‘Active Select’ gear change feature without removing their hands from the wheel.

In addition to receiving their exclusive, individually numbered Craig Lowndes Special Edition car, buyers will also be offered a pack-age of exciting, ‘money can’t buy’ experiences including:Framed certifi cate of authenticity with

build plateRed Bull Racing private function and tour

hosted by Craig Lowndes Two General Admission tickets to cus-

tomers’ local 2015 V8 Supercar race and Red Bull Racing pit tour

Craig Lowndes said that after a 20 year career it was a huge honour to have Holden develop this fantastic tribute model.

“I’ve had a lot of success on the racetrack be-hind the wheel of Commodores and to celebrate that with this special road-going version is a great privilege. I know fans and customers all Australia are going to love it,” said Lowndes.

“This Special Edition Commodore is the pinna-cle of Holden performance and to have my name on it is a true honour. With Brembo brakes front and rear, 20-inch wheels, paddle-shifters and the unique styling treatments, this car is simply outstanding to drive and look at. I love it.”

Just 233 of these exclusive and highly collect-able Lowndes Commodores will be built with more than 50 percent already spoken for by customers.
