POKIES venues have been big winners from decisions made by the state’s gambling regulator over the past few years and applications for extra electronic gaming machines are being effectively “rubber stamped” for approval despite numerous objections according to research on gaming in Victoria.

A report by Monash University academics Dr Charles Livingstone and Louise Francis released last year found 94 per cent of pokies applications by

pubs and clubs were approved by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation between July 2007 and June 2014.

Decisions by the VCGLR came under scrutiny last month when the regulator gave the go-ahead to the Langwarrin Hotel to increase its number of pokies from 52 to 62 after pub owner Beretta’s offered to build a roof to weatherproof an expanded children’s play area at the venue.

The decision and VCGLR’s determination that a roofed playground at the pub was “a signifi cant reason” to approve the Langwarrin Hotel application was fi rst revealed by The

Times (‘Kid’s play cover a win for pokies’, The Times 18/4/16) then subsequently reported by the Herald Sun, the ABC and Channel Ten’s The Project TV show.

Dr Charles Livingstone said it seems the chances of obtaining an approval for pokies from the VCGLR are signifi cantly higher than the odds stacked against pokies players.

“We knew they approved a high proportion but we didn’t realise it was that high,” Dr Livingstone told The Times.

The review of VCGLR decisions, funded by the Municipal Association of Victoria, took about two years to compile

and found 132 out of a total of 142 applications researched were approved.

Frankston Council opposed the Langwarrin Hotel’s bid for the 10 additional EGMs, set to coin in $465,879 annually, by submitting a 40-page report to the VCGLR against the extra pokies stating vulnerable problem gamblers in the pub’s low socio-economic catchment area would be at greater risk of losing more money.

Dr Livingstone said an analysis of the VCGLR’s decisions showed less than half of the 142 applications were formally opposed by councils but it made next to no difference to VCGLR deliberations.

“Where a council had taken an active interest and opposed an application the approval rate was just as high – statistically there was no difference whether the council turned up or not,” he said.

“It can often cost councils tens of thousands of dollars to oppose these applications – which is small money for the applicants because if they get what they want they’re sitting on a gold mine – but the council has to fi nd money so you can see why they give up and don’t participate because it looks very much like something other than a level playing fi eld.”

Campaigning for Crewther: Cr Darrel Taylor is the Liberal candidate for Dunkley’s election campaign manager.

Councillor heads up Liberal election bidCouncillor heads up Liberal election bid

A FORMER mayor of Frankston will oversee Liberal candidate for Dunk-ley Chris Crewther’s campaign to succeed departing MP Bruce Billson ahead of the 2 July federal election.

Cr Darrel Taylor is Mr Crewther’s election campaign manager tasked with giving the Liberals’ candidate a good run at seeing off the challenge of Labor candidate Peta Murphy to hold the seat of Dunkley.

When contacted by The Times Cr Taylor confi rmed he had been ap-

proached to be Mr Crewther’s elec-tion minder a few weeks after the Liberals decided on its candidate to contest Dunkley.

The councillor is the treasurer of the Frankston South branch of the party and the secretary of the Dunkley Fed-eral Electorate Conference.

“I was asked to be campaign man-ager by Chris and the executive of the Dunkley FEC and I accepted,” Cr Taylor said.

He sees no confl ict with his council-lor duties in the run-up to polling day next month.

“It won’t have an impact and won’t be an issue. I’ll be busy no doubt and

won’t have any spare time.”Cr Taylor’s entry as a player in the

federal election risked reigniting divi-sions within council – some fellow councillors were unhappy when he put his hand up for Liberal preselec-tion for Frankston when mayor before the 2014 state election – but one of the most vocal critics Cr Colin Hampton says he has no problem with Cr Tay-lor’s latest political move.

Cr Hampton, a Labor Party mem-ber, said Cr Taylor had promised not to nominate for preselection before he was anointed mayor in 2013 by his peers. Cr Taylor denied the claim.

“I have no problem with him do-

ing that [being a Liberal campaign manager] because he didn’t promise councillors he wouldn’t do that,” Cr Hampton said last week.

“In this respect it’s a democracy and he’s allowed to do what he wants but he’ll have to be very careful about promoting that candidate in the chamber.”

Cr Taylor missed out on state prese-lection to Sean Armistead who fell short in his bid to defeat Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, who suc-ceeded Liberal turned independent Geoff Shaw, by a slim margin at the 2014 state election.

FORMER police offi cer Donna Bradley-Robinson was forced to quit the force when her multiple sclerosis symptoms increasingly made her job impossible.

Ms Bradley-Robinson, a Frankston resident, was diagnosed with MS in 1994 at the age of 29 after experiencing symptoms since she was 16.

Since retiring as a police offi cer in 2010 she has dedicated herself to raising the profi le of the often invisible disease.

With an average age of diagnosis of 30, MS is largely a young woman’s disease – that randomly attacks nerve fi bres in the brain and spinal cord – for which there is currently no cure. The progress, severity and symptoms are different for everyone. Symptoms range from tingling and numbness to paralysis and blindness.

Ms Bradley-Robinson is hosting a charity event called The Scarlet Cup at Mornington Racecourse this month featuring live and silent auctions, a Calcutta Horse Race, major raffl e draw and a Fashions on the Field competition.

Channel 9 Postcards TV show presenter Brodie Harper will be MC for the day.

The Scarlet Cup will raise funds for the MS Ambassador

program, MS Support Services, MS Connect programs, and new MS research projects.

MS Research Australia CEO Robyn Hunter praised Ms Bradley-Robinson’s hard work and enthusiasm.

“Our Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign, through the help of wonderful fundraisers like Donna raises vital funds for re-search into MS. These funds are directed to research projects that are investigating better treatment options, the cause and a cure for MS.”

Ms Bradley-Robinson said she is managing her MS symp-toms after undergoing a new form of treatment to try to keep the disease in check.

“The best way I can describe how I feel is that I’ve been surrounded by fog for the past 35 years and suddenly the sun has risen and it’s a perfect day,” she said. “I have never known what it feels like not be exhausted on a daily basis.”The Scarlet Cup is being held at the Mornington Peninsula Racecourse on Sunday 29 May, midday to 5pm. See thescar-letcup.com.au or call Donna Bradley-Robinson on 0404 491 119. Tickets $100 per person.Tax-deductible donations can also be made via the website.

Youth ‘stand up’ for memorialYouth ‘stand up’ for memorialDAMAGE done to the new Frankston war memorial at Beauty Park has been repaired by Frankston Council workers.

Mayor Cr James Dooley said coun-cil “was extremely disappointed to be made aware of alleged damage to the new Frankston war memorial in the lead up to Anzac Day” (‘Skate-boarders mar memorial’, The Times 20/4/16).

“We consider any mark on the me-morial that isn’t the name of person who has served to be exceptionally offensive to those who gather at this site to pay their respects to those who served and sacrifi ced to protect the freedom of others,” he said.

“Council is currently investigating the installation of signage at the me-morial, urging parents to stop their children from playing on the memo-rial as a sign of respect.”

Cr Dooley said council workers determined some of the marks left on the memorial wall were caused by children sliding down the wall “with rubber from their shores coming off as they slid down”.

“We are also aware of some lo-cal youth who have taken to social media to discourage any negative behaviour that may cause damage to the memorial. We are delighted to see the youth of Frankston standing

up for their local community.“Council has surveillance proce-

dures in place which may be used to identify offenders and provided to lo-cal police for further investigation.”

The mayor said the company who won the design and construct ten-der for the Frankston War Memorial, skate park designers Convic Pty Ltd, are putting together a range of ad-ditional measures to limit skateboard and BMX riding on the new memorial for council to consider.

CorrectionCorrectionTWO recent articles (‘Silence surrounds council hearing’, The Times 25/4/16 and ‘Second councillor in spotlight’, The Times 9/5/16) concerning Cr Colin Hampton and Cr Darrel Taylor’s appearance last month at a coun-cillor conduct panel hearing stated the Municipal Association of Victoria would make a decision on the councillors’ behaviour.

The MAV merely facilitates such panel hearings and does not itself make a decision on the outcome of councillor conduct panel hearings. The associa-tion also does not receive panel reports or notifi cation of the independent panel members’ decision. That information is passed to the relevant council, the parties to the hearing and the Victorian Local Government Minister.

WHEN Michelle Sheridan glanced in the rear-view mirror of her stationary car to see a vehicle hurtling towards hers, it just didn’t occur to her that the driver might not stop.

But what happened next on that day in De-cember changed her life and left the 33-year-old Langwarrin mother-of-three with lasting injuries, chronic pain and a terrifying vision that haunts her every day.

Ms Sheridan’s car was struck from behind by another vehicle on the Cranbourne-Frankston Rd, Langwarrin, as she was on the way to pick up her child from primary school.

The impact instantly crushed her Nissan seven-seater vehicle and pushed it into the path of oncoming traffi c. Despite being knocked out momentarily and injured, she regained consciou-ness just in time to escape from her vehicle before it was struck again.

Ms Sheridan was studying nursing at the time, but today she is unable “to function on a day-to-day basis”, and is plagued by headaches, ongoing pain and muscle weakness. Worse still are the psychological effects of the accident.

“It was so traumatic that I didn’t drive for 10 months and even now I can only drive short distances because of the anxiety,’’ she said.

Ms Sheridan is still receiving counselling and medical care due to whiplash, back pain, daily headaches and tendon injuries, and said the im-pact on her family had also been signifi cant.

“My husband was a mess when he found out, but he’s very strong and has had to pick up the pieces and pull the family together,” she said.

“And my children have also been traumatised by what happened to me, particularly my four-year-old who saw me in hospital.”

Before the accident, Ms Sheridan was a “bub-bly” confi dent person, but now regularly feels inexplicably “sad, angry and frustrated”, and is struggling to make sense of what happened.

“I’m so upset at the way people drive, and I see it every day,” she said.

“Nearly every second car I see there is a per-son looking down at their phone or not paying attention, it’s frightening.

“This accident has changed my life 100 per cent and things will never be the same for me or my family.

“People think it won’t happen to them, but you just can’t say that.”

A Langwarrin man has been charged by police and is due to face court over the accident.

The ongoing impacts of road trauma are also something Rye resident Geoff Greene is only too aware of.

Mr Greene didn’t even see the driver coming up behind him on Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud in September, 2013, so wasn’t able to anticipate the impact. By the time his shunted car came to a halt and he was able to turn his head, the driver who caused the rear-end collision had disap-peared.

Although badly shaken and suffering severe bruising and a bleeding head injury, Mr Greene didn’t feel the full effects of the accident until about one week later, when his ileac artery ruptured and he was rushed to hospital for emer-gency surgery.

“At that stage it was life-threatening and doc-tor said the accident would have brought on the rupture,” he said.

Every day the 81-year-old is in pain because of the residual effects of his injuries, which are now exacerbated by degenerative changes.

Like Ms Sheridan, his message to drivers is clear.

“Just concentrate and pay attention.”

It’s no accident that trauma’s long term

Help on the roadRoad Trauma Support Services is a not-for-profi t organisation that promotes the safety and wellbe-ing of road users. It provides counselling and support to people affected by road trauma, and aims to educate road users about safe driving.

RTSSV spokeswoman Bronwyn Saville said the organisation was committed to educating the community and raising public awareness about road trauma and how it affected people’s lives.

A spokeswoman for campaign sponsors Maurice Blackburne Lawyers, Andrea Petrie, said pre-ventable road accidents made up a “substantial” part of the fi rm’s work.

“Because of that we believe it’s really important that the message of safety on the roads is heard,” she said.

DESPITE the best efforts of environ-mentalists and some government de-partments the survival of the southern brown bandicoot remains uncertain.

With few viable colonies of the small marsupial remaining around Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula its “endangered species” status was last week reaffi rmed.

Foxes, feral cats and land clearing are among the bandicoot’s biggest threats.

Environment Minister Greg Hunt told a biodiversity forum organised by the Western Port Biosphere that he agreed with the southern brown bandi-coot staying on the endangered list.

His announcement on Friday 6 May came one day after 49 extra species of fl ora and fauna were added to the feder-al government’s threatened species list.

Mr Hunt told the forum he was “de-lighted to provide an update on our work for threatened species”, but ap-parently made no mention of the addi-tions to the list.

Mr Hunt said money from the fed-eral government would help Western Port Biosphere protect 184 hectares of remnant vegetation, with 36 hectares “revegetated by the end of this year in this wildlife-rich region south-east of Melbourne”.

“Landcare groups, councils and park managers are working together to help connect and improve wildlife habitat corridors. The project will help species such as the southern brown bandicoot and the hooded plover, one of the 20

Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status

priority birds under our Threatened Species Strategy,” Mr Hunt said.

Parks Victoria has announced that from November it will ban dogs from beaches within the linear Mornington Peninsula National Park as part of ef-forts to prevent the hooded plover be-coming locally extinct.

“A local predator control strategy is also in place in the Western Port Biosphere, supported by camera-trap monitoring of feral cats, foxes and the southern brown bandicoots they prey on,” Mr Hunt said.

He said the national Threatened Spe-cies Strategy “is on track to achieve its 2020 targets and is already delivering real wins for our native animals and plants”.

“Less than a year on from its launch, this new roadmap to help fi ght extinc-tions of our native fl ora and fauna is

benefi tting at-risk species with target-ed, practical action. With almost 1800 of our species listed as threatened, Aus-tralia needs to work harder and smarter to secure their future.”

Mr Hunt said that since 2014 the 20 mammals and 20 birds had been nominated as priority species with the government “committing to improving their trajectories by 2020 and funding recovery actions for each of them”.

A task force had been established to tackle feral cats, with all states and ter-ritories agreeing “to prioritise feral cat management in threatened species re-covery programs”. French Island is one of fi ve islands the government wants to be cat-free by 2020 (‘Plans to end reign of feral cats’, The Times 12/4/16)

Australian Conservation Foundation campaigner Jess Abrahams was quoted in last Saturday week’s The Guardian that last week’s federal budget failed to include any new funding for the threat-ened species strategy.

The only mention of the environment in a budget news release issued by Mr Hunt’s offi ce on 5 May mainly related to $171 million for the Great Barrier Reef.

“We are also committed to preserv-ing our natural environment for future generations and are doing more than ever before to protect the Great Barrier Reef,” Mr Hunt stated.

AUSTRALIA’S world record for losing the greatest number of its mam-mals was the subject of the keynote address at Western Port Biosphere’s second annual biodiversity forum.

“We have lost the ability to connect with the environment; with expanding development changing the land-scape, the face of the environment as we knew it has changed, and the streetscape of urban development is seen as the norm,” Professor John Woinarski told 80 delegates to the Fri-day 6 May forum at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne.

The deputy director of the Threat-ened Species Recovery Hub in the

National Environmental Science pro-gram at Charles Darwin University, said Australia’s poor record of species extinction, had seen 49 new species added to the list of threatened species in the days leading up to the forum.

Prof Woinarski said 30 of Austral-ia’s mammal species were classifi ed as extinct.

A further 56 terrestrial mammals qualifi ed as threatened and another 52 as near threatened.

Prof Woinarski said it was important to connect and understand nature.

He said the inability of Austral-ians to engage fi rst-hand with the natural environment “is impacting on

our understanding of the relationship between the different native species and their habitat”.

“We must identify mechanisms to foster community stewardship of the natural environment.”

Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt spoke to the forum’s general theme of pest control, outlin-ing programs to eradicate feral cats and foxes.

He also told the forum that fol-lowing further scientifi c review the southern brown bandicoot will remain on the endangered species list (see “Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status”, this page).

The biosphere used the forum to explain work being undertaken as part of the federal government-funded Growing Connections Project, and the projects of our partner councils, Landcare and community groups.

Biosphere updates included:Launch of an online version of the Biodiversity Plan (http://arcg.is/1VUnrrY)Establishment of the Western Port Pest Animal Group to defi ne best practice and continued improvement in pest control and coordinate work with community groups and individu-als.Start of a year-long fox control

program in the Tooradin area, with 50 baits laid on private properties and public land.Fourteen landholders signing up as water stewards under the biosphere’s water stewardship program and plans to expand into catchments beyond Watson Creek.

Presentations on pest control and biodiversity activities were made by representatives of Frankston and Car-dinia councils, Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast Landcare networks, French Island Landcare Group, Bird-life Australia and Frankston Environ-mental Friends Network.

Continued from Page 1Frankston Council advised it cost about $40,000,

including staff time, to make its submission against the Langwarrin Hotel’s pokies boost bid.

“Council is very disappointed, though based on previous rulings from the gaming commission we are not surprised, with the VCGLR’s recent decision to approve ten additional electronic gaming machines at Beretta’s Langwarrin Hotel,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.

Dr Livingstone noted it is not the fi rst time the commission has praised pubs as “family-friendly venues” when deciding to approve more pokies.

“I think it’s very important that we think very carefully about what pokies venues are for. Primarily they get most of their money – in many cases, 70 to 80 per cent of their money - from gambling, poker machines and other forms of gambling.

“Whether you want to expose kids to that from a young age and say that it’s great that you can park the kids in a playground while you go off and play the pokies – that’s something the community has to think about very carefully.

“Most reasonable people would argue that this is a discussion we really need to have. We haven’t had that discussion. It’s just assumed by the commission that having these facilities in place will be a benefi t. The reality is these places are gambling venues.

“They’re not pubs anymore, they’re not clubs, they’re not places attuned to family needs. They’re basically places that are enticing people to gamble and gamble quite a lot.”

Cr Dooley said average gaming machine losses total more than $62 million across the Frankston area on average each year.

“It is not just the impact on the children that go into the facility to use the playground. It’s the ongoing impact to vulnerable families who have experience losses and subsequent emotional trauma within the family.”

Dr Livingstone called on the state government to introduce guidelines for assessing a net disadvantage test to list exactly what benefi ts and disadvantages

should be taken into account when deciding to approve pokies applications.

“They just make it up as they go along. I know that sounds a bit harsh but this is a tribunal which certainly in the past has tended to make it up as it goes along. It usually fi nds for the applicants.”

The Langwarrin Hotel’s owners face another hurdle before the 10 additional pokies can be installed in its gaming area. Frankston councillors unanimously rejected its planning permit application for the extra machines at a public council meeting in March.

Cr Dooley said council will defend its decision not to support the installation of the extra machines at an upcoming VCAT hearing.

“We will recommend planning conditions to reinforce the $1 million upgrade of the children’s playground be completed within 12 months of the operation of any additional gaming machines.”

Dr Livingstone said venues’ promises when making pokies applications to the VCGLR – such as pledging more jobs or donations to local charities - when granting approval for pokies machines are often not checked for compliance.

“After the event none of the donations or jobs promised are checked.

As often as not these things are not carried out anyway – it’s a bit of a joke, to be honest.”

Cr Dooley said council will “remain vigilant” to ensure the Langwarrin Hotel operators honour conditions placed on it by the VCGLR including an annual $10,000 contribution to Langwarrin food bank charity Theodore House.

Beretta’s and the VCGLR have refused to respond to media questions about the Langwarrin Hotel pokies application.

Labor Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Jane Garrett merely said “this was a decision made by the independent regulator” and any questions to the state government were referred to the government-appointed VCGLR.

JODIE Hinton is a mentor for young people. But it wasn’t always this way.

Growing up, she struggled with her mother’s behaviour. “I had no idea my mum had a mental illness,” she said. “I used to be embarrassed of my mum and the way she acted, and I always knew she was a bit different but I never under-stood why.”

Things are clearer now, thanks to the Satellite Champs program, designed for those aged 8-12 years with parents affected by mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, personality disorders and bipolar affective disorder.

The program provides information about men-tal health, helps reduce social isolation and helps children and families develop coping strategies and a personal safety plan for when their parent is unwell. A similar program for parents ensures they and their families receive complementary information and peer support.

“Families are greatly impacted by the experi-ence of supporting a loved one with mental ill-ness,” Mental health social worker Tim Twining said.

A member of the youth mental health team at Peninsula Health, he said children, in particular, can struggle to make sense of this experience and did not have a framework in place to under-stand the changes they saw in their mum or dad.

“The Champs program provides a much needed intervention to address the needs of vulnerable children in a safe and nurturing envi-ronment,” he said.

Mr Twining is the lead facilitator for the Frankston North Champs currently under way. The program works alongside Anglicare Victo-ria, Peninsula Health Mental Health Services, the shire’s Youth and Family Services, Good Shepherd Victoria and New Zealand, Family Mediation Centre, Alfred Health Carer Services and Frankston Council.

It is free and runs after school in Frankston, Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings.

Filling a gap: Jodie Hinton has been a mentor, guest speaker and peer leader thanks to involvement in the Champs program.

Helping hand for tough times

Since it began in 1996 many young people – like Ms Hinton – can now support other children and young people with their knowledge.

“At Champs I learnt about the different types of mental illnesses, the symptoms, who my sup-ports were, and what I could do if mum became ‘ill’,” she said. “I had a better understanding of my mum. I learnt how to deal with her actions and how to take care of myself. I learnt that I wasn’t alone. I made friendships that I still have today.”

Ms Hinton now studies youth work and is a residential youth worker and volunteer lead ten-ant for two autistic young people.

Frankston Mornington Peninsula has a large gap in mental health service delivery, support, and information for those aged 8 to 12 years.

Research has shown signifi cant benefi ts gained by children participating in Champs programs, organisers say.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2016

LABOR’S candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy admits succeeding Liberal MP Bruce Billson as the area’s representative in Canberra will be a challenge but she reckons it is time for change, and not just on the personality front.

“Bruce has served this community for 20 years and they’re certainly big shoes to fi ll but I think people are ready for a new voice,” she told The Times.

“It has been a Liberal seat for 20 years and it is time for a fresh approach. It’s time for Dunkley to have someone with a different perspective to really focus on health and education.”

Internal Labor polling shows the party is in with a 52-48 per cent chance after preferences of wrestling back the seat from the Liberal Party after two decades of Mr Billson going into bat for Dunkley.

Mr Billson’s majority was 5.6 per cent at the 2013 election.

The 42-year-old lawyer, who moved to Mt Eli-za in 2012 to be closer to public sector consult-ant husband Rod Glover’s family, wasn’t always destined to enter the political fray but a speech by former Labor cabinet minister Lindsay Tanner at the University of Melbourne changed the course of her life.

She admits to “always being politically aware” and being “inspired by the idea of a bigger, smarter, bolder country being put forward by Paul Keating” but it was Mr Tanner’s speech at her alma matter about looking out for the less for-tunate that swung her decision to join the Labor Party.

A career as a criminal lawyer followed univer-sity followed but Ms Murphy says she was deter-mined not to spend her whole life in the political bubble.

“I was lucky enough to have a role as a justice policy adviser for a number of years in my mid-20s but made the conscious decision to go out and have a career because I did not want to be someone who talked about policy from a theo-retical point of view or had always been involved in politics and had never had a career or profes-sion in the real world.”

Practising law as a criminal defence lawyer cer-tainly opened her young eyes to the importance of education to break “cycles of dysfunction” in low socio-economic areas of communities.

“I don’t bring one narrow personal experience. I’m a university-educated lawyer but I also un-derstand other things.

“My career has reinforced to me the importance of education. My parents were schoolteachers … I’ve always grown up being told education is re-ally important.

“My three sisters and I got told by our fam-ily that public schools are important, the public school system is what we went through.

“Education is what gives people the start in life and being able to have the education that makes children see their own strength and see the pos-sibilities in their own future to get out there and be part of the community is the key to a good, prosperous community.”

Over the years her work as a defence lawyer has seen her speak up on behalf of some accused defendants who some may regard as “the worst of the worst” such as murderers and Melbourne man Joseph Thomas, dubbed ‘Jihadi Jack’ by the tabloid media, whose conviction for receiving funds from Al-Qaeda was overturned on appeal in 2013.

While not naming specifi c defendants, Ms

LIBERAL candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther is a new convert to the Frankston and Mornington area’s many charms having grown up in country Victoria but the 32-year-old some-time international lawyer and former CEO of the Mildura Economic Development Board says he has always had an interest in helping out the community no matter where he has lived.

“I made my home in Frankston last year and set up my own small business in agricultural ex-ports but before that I’ve been the chief execu-tive of an economic development corporation in regional Victoria as well as an international lawyer in Kosovo.

“Each of these roles are also ways in which I’ve been able to help the communities where I’ve lived at the time.”

Mr Crewther, who earned a Masters degree specialising in International Law gained at the Australian National University in Canberra, had an early political awakening while at school in year 11 in Horsham when he attended youth parliament at Camp Manyung in Mt Eliza.

He was the unsuccessful Liberal federal can-didate for Mallee at the 2013 election.

“I spent a lot of my time growing up in country Victoria and my wife Grace grew up in Black-town in Sydney so she’s a city girl at heart. In terms of a place to live this area is the perfect combination between the country, the city and the coast. It’s a good place to raise a family.”

The couple welcomed young daughter Yasmin to the family earlier this year.

The newcomer shrugs off rumblings about ‘carpet-bagging’ after winning the Liberal Par-ty preselection contest to be the candidate for Dunkley, seeing off a strong fi eld of seven other local candidates including former Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Kingston councillor Paul Peu-lich.

“It’s quite a democratic process. We had 84 minutes of questions, a speech, about 200 del-egates or so in the room to choose the candi-date. There were eight strong candidates and each should be commended for being willing to put up their hand to represent this area,” he told The Times.

“In the end I won their support so I’m just get-ting on with campaigning.”

Mr Crewther says he will “run a strong posi-tive grassroots campaign to engage with the electorate” because “solutions are what people are really looking for as opposed to the politick-ing of the day”.

“One key thing is delivering more job oppor-tunities for Dunkley families and that’s what I want for my family – not only job opportunities but meaningful job opportunities that give peo-ple a purpose in life.

“People want the best for their children and grandchildren no matter where they live in the world. Job creation would be my number one priority but linked in with that is investment in infrastructure because without infrastructure you can’t connect people properly or help and grow businesses.

“Tackling issues such as the scourge of ice are also important in terms of giving people oppor-tunities locally – particularly young people. You need to give them things to do, education oppor-tunities as well as work opportunities locally.”

He says he will draw on his experience in Ko-sovo, in the former Yugoslavia, when he helped return citizens’ property to them after the late 1990s civil war there to have empathy for the

Murphy says defence lawyers who work in the legal aid sector do not get to pick and choose cli-ents.

“It can be very diffi cult. I think it is important to really understand what some people’s lives are like in order to bring some insight into the poli-cies that affect people but there is no doubt it is diffi cult sometimes to have to be faced with some of the worst of humanity,” she said.

“My career as a defence lawyer – even when I was working at a private fi rm – was working on legal aid cases and defending the poor, the destitute, the disadvantaged and very damaged. It’s not a moral judgement, it’s about making the system work for everyone.

“I think people understand that a criminal jus-tice system that is accessible and fair is actually what’s important for everyone and society.”

Citing her mentor Duncan Kerr, former Labor member for Dennison and Federal Court judge, (“a decent man with good values”) Ms Murphy says she learned the value of serving the com-munity.

“Locally, the issues are often about education. Not surprisingly people with young children and children who have started school are really con-cerned about making sure their kids get to go to the best possible school and have the best possi-ble education. Issues about funding public educa-tion and training and brought up a lot.”

Health funding is an issue close to her heart after undergoing treatment for breast cancer fi ve years ago. She credits Australia’s health system with saving her life.

Voters’ discontent with political parties is also never far from her thoughts.

She is a leading light on the hill in Open La-bor, a self-described “group of people who seek renewal of the Australian Labor Party and a more open, optimistic and decent politics in Australia”, and admits the ALP can do more to make politics inclusive despite having made some good pro-cess in the past few years.

“I think the party and leader Bill Shorten have made some good steps. Things like having rank-and-fi le membership involved in the election of the parliamentary leader has reinvigorated the party but we should keep working on it. There are a lot of people out there who would be in-volved in a political party that would be attracted to Labor if we keep making ourselves open and transparent to serve its members.”

less fortunate if he wins offi ce.“In Kosovo I was resolving property claims

before an international tribunal for claimants who lost their property due to the war. By giv-ing people their possessions back you’re help-ing them get on with their lives.”

Being a middle man in negotiations is a skill he’s brought to his small business.

“My wife is originally of South Korean back-ground so she has a number of connections. She grew up in Sydney from the age of three but she grew up in South Korea so she has a number of connections there with people wanting to im-port high-quality farming goods,” he said.

“Given my country background and my previ-ous role in economic development in regional Victoria I also have a number of connections with exporters who are producing those high-quality goods but aren’t necessarily exporting to markets like Korea, Hong Kong and elsewhere. So the job primarily is linking those exporters with those importers. It’s sort of a bridge role.”

Mr Crewther hopes to perform a bridge role in representing Dunkley in Canberra.

“I’m part of a Liberal team that will form a Liberal government that will help to assist small business to grow the economy and actu-ally tackle social disadvantage. But we’re also a party that social and environmental issues as well. I think the economy, the community and the environment need to be considered in any development.

“I do have a say in this current government with Malcolm Turnbull.”

Jobs for Dunkley residents is high on his po-litical agenda.

“I’m really proud my wife Grace and I and our daughter live in Frankston. It’s an area – that, if we have the right positive outlook as Bruce as done over the past 20 years – we can actually grow this area economically, socially, environ-mentally. There is a lot of potential in this area and creating opportunities for families will be my number one priority.”

Mr Crewther said he intends to stay in Frankston after the election.

“If I’m unsuccessful I’ll continue running my small business here and my home is here and my family is here. I don’t see anything chang-ing.”

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull triggered a double dissolution of the House of Representatives (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) and announced the federal election will take place on Saturday 2 July. Candidates and voters across the country face the prospect of a gruelling eight-week election campaign ahead of polling day as the main contenders for the seat of Dunkley - covering an area from Seaford to Mornington - square up to succeed outgoing Liberal MP Bruce Billson who is retiring from politics after a 20-year plus political career. The main suburbs in the Dunkley electorate include part of Baxter, Frankston, Frankston North, Frankston South, Langwarrin, Langwarrin South, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and part of Skye. NEIL WALKER spoke to the Liberal and Labor contenders, analysed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s fi rst visit to Mornington during the campaign last week and asks Bruce Billson what’s next on his horizon.

A LIQUID lunch was not on the breakfast menu when Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visited the Mornington Peninsula Brewery in Mornington while on the election campaign trail late last week.

Mr Turnbull seems to be running a ‘hit and run’ election campaign - featuring short and sharp visits to electorates - while Labor leader Bill Shorten fo-cuses on spending more time in specifi c marginal seats each day.

The Times was not notifi ed of the Prime Minis-ter’s trip to Mornington but managed to scramble an agile photographer at no notice to cover the visit.

Mr Shorten visited Seaford on Saturday 30 April for a community consultation session.

Mr Turnbull and a busload of political staffers and Press Gallery journalists briefl y dropped into town on Thursday morning (12 May) to be en-tertained by Liberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson who took great delight in showing the press corps around the brewery while extolling the virtues of free enterprise and emerging export markets for the peninsula ale.

The media throng was so enraptured by the Bruce Billson show that Liberal candidate Chris Crewther seemed somewhat sidelined from the spotlight.

The Liberal candidate and Mr Billson did man-age to engage in a bit of jocular banter for the cam-eras though.

Mr Billson said his prospective successor is “a newer, improved version”.

“He’s more handsome, svelte, taller and has less kilometres on the clock,” he said.

“I want to grow up to be like Bruce and Bruce wants to grow up to be as tall as me,” Mr Crewther said.

“I’m hoping for a belated growth spurt,” Mr Billson responded.

After half an hour or so of touring the brewery, the prime ministerial bus departed and headed to a Moorabbin engineering company.

An angry single mother ‘Melinda’ confronted Mr Turnbull in Moorabbin about cuts to family tax benefi ts and the rising cost of education.

“The cost of school is going up and up and up and yet we’re not getting any more money and now you’re going to take the family tax benefi ts away. It’s not just single mums you’re hurting,” she said.

The Prime Minister said he understood how tough it can be bringing up children as a single parent.

Perhaps he wished the Mornington Peninsula Brewery was scheduled after the Moorabbin bus stop so he could have a post-confrontation drink.

Although he could have cracked open a can of Mornington Pale from the slabs of beer handed over to the accompanying journalists earlier in the day by the teetotal Mr Billson.

“Stay hydrated!” he cheerfully ordered the de-parting journalists.

BRUCE Billson is preparing for a life after politics and has already hit the ground running.

The irrepressible Liberal MP for Dunkley decided to retire from the political scene after Prime Min-ister Malcolm Turnbull decided to drop him from cabinet late last year but has already landed his fi rst post-politics gig.

The former small business minister was appoint-ed executive chair of the Franchise Council of Aus-tralia (FCA) in March.

“When I decided not to continue I wanted to do things that helped me energise enterprise and sup-port the creation of opportunities and livelihoods for people and this seemed a good fi t,” he told The Times. “I’m a fan of franchising because it gave me a start when I was at school. I still fondly remem-ber Mark Foster who owned the Frankston Macca’s franchise in Wells St where Westpac is now and it was great to see a local businessman and woman using the franchise model to create opportunities for themselves and others.”

Mr Billson concedes the franchising sector faces challenges when asked about the 7-Eleven scandal involving the underpayment of many of its workers.

“That’s part of why I was asked to be involved.

Franchising is a fantastic business model where you can be in your own business but not actually be on your own,” he said.

“You get support but as the 7-Eleven case shows you still are at the end of the day a business owner as a franchisee and you’ve got important responsi-bilities to your workforce and under the law that you need to be alert to and upholding.

“That’s part of the education that is a segment of what the FCA does.”

Mr Billson has also registered a business consult-ant fi rm name, Agile Advisory Pty Ltd, for “deli-cious possibilties” after political retirement.

“That’s language I’ve been using for 20 years has become very fashionable of late and I thought I’ve often talked about the need to be agile in a changing economy and I thought I’ll stick with that.”

He is not quite fi nished in politics yet though and says he will support Liberal candidate Chris Crewther in his election efforts before the 2 July federal election.

“I’m fully committed to fulfi lling my responsi-bilities as the member for Dunkley and like a good athlete you try to run your hardest as you run over the fi nish line.” Neil Walker

Quarry car foundHEAVY haulage vehicles were called in to drag a car from Moorooduc quarry, Mt Eliza, on Monday last week.

Somerville Towing was called in by search-and-rescue police to salvage the Toyota Prado, reportedly stolen from Frankston South on Sunday 24 April.

Walkers at the quarry saw the car crash through gates and plunge into deep water about 7am Anzac Day. It sank slowly nose fi rst into the water. The walkers reported seeing a man near the scene and then another swimming to the bank and quickly walking away.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Two more peninsula lads die at war Two more peninsula lads die at war Compiled by Melissa Walsh

WE regret to learn that two of the Peninsula lads who were reported missing since the memorable 8th of August last year at Gallipoli, have now been offi cially reported killed. We refer to Private Harry R. Twy-ford second son of Mr John Twyford, of Somerville, and Private Noel Trav-ers E. Somers, the eldest son of Dr Somers of Mornington. Both lads were just 23 years of age. LIEUT. W. C. Pentland and Private Tox Ander-son, late of Arthur street, Frankston, are now on their way to the front. We wish them every success.

***CORPORAL B. McMichael, Privates J. L. Pratt, and O. N, Palmer, late of “Cheer-Oh”, Frankston, have volun-teered for active service and are now in camp. We wish them all a safe re-turn.

***THE Langwarrin Amusement Co, comprising 45 performers, will give one of their popular and amusing en-tertainments in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening next. Their brass band will also play selections during the evening.

***THERE seems to exist some differ-ence of opinion as to who has the honor of being the fi rst volunteerwho enlisted from the Frankston dis-trict. Sergeant Polglase informs us that he carries the palm, having en-listed on the 8th August, 1914.

***CONTRIBUTIONS of fl owers and books are greatly esteemed at the Langwarrin Camp, and any residents of Frankston who have some of either to spare would be deemed benefac-tors by leaving them with either Mr J. Reynolds or Mrs Rimmer, who will see that they reach their destination.

***THE name of Mr. P. Wheeler as a donor of 5s to the Soldiers presenta-tion Fund was inadvertently omitted from the list recently published, and F. A. Haul Esq should have been F. A. Hunt, Esq, and C. Wells, Esq, should have been O. Wells Esq.

***MESSRS Brady and Mason will hold a clearing sale of household furniture and effects, on account of MrsP. H. Thwaite, who is leaving the district, on Wednesday next on the premises “Caringa” Melbourne Rd. two doors from Fiochi Avenue. The sale will commence at two p.m, and on Saturday, 27th May in a mar-quee, on the ground, the same fi rm will sell 25 building allotments of the Beach St Estate, each allotment having 66ft frontage by big depths to Finlay St. The terms are easy being £3 deposit and the balance in monthly installments of 10s, without interest. The sale will commence at 3 o’clock.

***MISS Rene Bates was the victim of a sensational accident on Sunday 7th inst. She was in the act of mounting into a sulky when the pony broke

away and threw her down, the wheels passing over her legs and severely bruising one ankle. The animal bolted along the road and upset the vehicle, smashing the harness and getting clear. Mr Grover, jun., who happened to be driving in the opposite direction, stopped the runaway and brought the sufferer into Mornington. She was at-tended by Dr Somers, who reported no serious injuries other than severe bruises.

***PEANUT Farm at Frankston. At the invitation of Mr C. E Liardot, a visit was paid to the peanut Farm at Frankston on Monday last. Harvest-ing was in full swing. About 11 ton to the acre will be secured, and this result is considered very satisfactory. The plants make excellent hay, and the nuts are larger and of better qual-ity than those grown in China. Under some of the plants 100 nuts were counted, but the average per plant is about 50. The proprietor of the farm states that the plants are larger than those grown in China. No disease has affected them, and rabbits will not touch them. The season has been one of the worst experienced here for many years. The absence of rain has been a great drawback. The results have fully demonstrated that the peanut can be successfully grown for commercial purposes in Victoria. The most successful re-sults were obtained from nuts grown

in sandy loam and in black coarse (bracken) soil. No manure of any kind was used. It is expected that even better results will be obtained from this year’s planting.

***LETTER From The Front. The fol-lowing letter has been received from, Lance-Corporal R.Sherlock, Royal Engineers, dated March 22nd, from France. Fritz has been quiet lately. He has not been sending many shells over these last few days; but I sup-pose he will have a spasm shortly and make up for it. We did not go up to the trenches last night as they were changing troops and the trenches get so congested that it is impossible to get up there, so we had a night in for a change. The trenches are in a terrible plight —mud, slush and water—but they are improving as the weather gets better. We go up, making the conditions bet-ter for the infantry, as well as we are able to; but it is terrible work at times. Perhaps we are wiring back frames over the parapet and you have to pull a dead German or a Frenchman out of the way so that you can drive a picket in and then more than likely the Ger-mans in their trenches will hear you driving the picket in and will open fi re on you with their machine-guns or a whiz bang or a coal-box or heavy shrapnel, just as the fancy takes them; but we will get over it all some time, I suppose. It is raining again, how I wish it

would cease, as it makes it bad for us, we will be slipping all over the place, sometimes on your back down a shell-hole. I fell down a big one the other night and one of my pals said it was the nearest I had been to Australia for some time. I had to laugh and got into a row from the offi cer because the Germans could hear me. I was think-ing of applying for a commission, but I think I an better off where I am now. An offi cer’s life or rather a lieuten-ant’s is only for ten weeks. I think that’s the average. He leads the way, we follow. It is better to be a live N C.O than a dead commissioned offi -cer. I am feeling as fi t as a fi ddle here. This sort of life seems to suit me. I have just had dinner—a piece of steak and a few potatoes. I could eat just about as much again. We shall have for tea —bread and butter and marmalade. We expect to be going back for a rest in a few day’s time. It is not much of a rest, as we have to do company drill, squad drill, fatigues, clean buttons, etc., but we are away from the fi ring line, that’s one good thing. We are in a ruined village now. I am at present writing this letter in a ru-ined house on top of our underground domicile.

***

By Stuart McCulloughTHEY’RE the odd couple in our lo-cal strip of shops. Side by side they sit, representing two very different worlds. The fi rst is a Catholic book-store. It’s closed on Sundays, natu-rally, and does a quiet but steady trade. The shop next door does tattoos. When I was growing up, these were referred to as ‘tattoo parlours’, but now they tend to prefer ‘studio’. That’s because the term ‘parlour’ was only ever used to describe businesses that operated under the shadow of infamy. Tattoos and pinball – both had the ‘parlour’ tag. Not now, though. Things have changed.

The tattoo studio (not parlour) opens whenever the mood strikes. The front window displays a crystal trophy that, at a glance, looks like something they dish out when the word ‘Nobel’ is in-volved rather than one to which the term ‘Best and Fairest’ is attached. The trophy was for coming fi rst in a tattooing competition in the highly competitive category of ‘Best Leg – Female’. It pays to specialise.

When you’re a kid, you think you can do everything. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t win an Oscar, a Grammy, a Logie and the Nobel Peace Prize all in the course of a weekend. Then reality sets in. Not all at once, more as a matter of attrition. Some-time during the process of elimination that is growing up you realise that the chances of an award beyond a swim-ming certifi cate are unlikely. Maybe you’ll achieve one of those things, but not all of them. There simply isn’t enough time to be good at everything.

Unless you’re Hugh Jackman, of course.

In early high school, I dreamed big. There’s nothing wrong with that, but such was my self-belief that I thought these things would happen without me trying especially hard. As a result, my parents expended money for lessons that I attended but for which I never practised. This chronic lack of appli-

cation meant that my progress in these various disciplines could best be de-scribed as ‘limited’.

I took percussion lessons. For the life of me, I can’t say why. Secretly, I probably wanted to play the drums because, as everybody knows, drums are the best instrument in the world if you’re the one playing them, and the worst if you’re simply within ear-

shot. However, percussion lessons weren’t about sitting behind a Ludwig kit and pounding out the beats. They were about the marimba, the vibra-phone and the enduring mysteries of the triangle. To this day, my triangle technique is fl awless. For months, I at-tended lessons. Having not practised at all, my determination to show up seemed to slowly suck the life out of my teacher. It was like watching a tyre gradually defl ate. Then, one week, he surprised me, by announcing that he’d arranged for me to join the school or-chestra.

When he told me, I thought this was simply a case of him acknowledging my musical genius. The school or-chestra was a big deal, and not only because it was one of the few school-sanctioned activities in which both genders were allowed to participate. Being an orchestral hotshot was the kind of thing that earned you all man-ner of honours including special ac-knowledgement on your school blazer pocket. Granted, having a few words sewn onto your uniform is not exactly an Oscar, but it was a start. However, my teacher had other things in mind. It was, I now believe, a last desperate attempt to encourage me to practise.

I turned up at the fi rst rehearsal with-out having so much as opened any of the sheet music, deciding I could wing it. No one was going to notice much if the triangle came in at the right spot. When I got there, the room was packed. As the percussionist, I was tucked down the back, although un-like everyone else, had to stand. The sheet music looked like a bunch of

black ants walking across the page. Although I was never much for sight reading sheet music, I was an expert at improvisation. This, I was confi dent, would be enough to carry me through.

When the conductor referred to ‘Of-ten Bach’, I was pleased. Even I knew that Bach was a famous composer and performing his work seemed like a good idea. I now know that he was, in fact, referring to ‘Offenbach’, who is a different person entirely. We would, it seems, be performing Offenbach’s ‘Can Can’.

Offenbach’s ‘Can Can’ has no trian-gle in it. What it does have, however, is buckets of snare drum. It’s diffi cult to fl y under the radar if you’re play-ing the snare drum. However, as the conductor tapped the baton on the music stand, I knew that my free-form improvisational jazz skills would save me. Or so I believed until, thirty sec-onds later, the conductor threw his baton down in disgust and, in front of everyone, questioned not only my sense of rhythm but my sanity also. He then decided that I should perform my snare part as a solo while every body watched.

It was at that moment that I realised I was wearing both my school uni-form and the Emperor’s new clothes at once. I stared back at the conductor as all the musicians stared at me. The ‘Can Can’ became more of a ‘Can’t Can’t’. I lasted about two more weeks, before retiring. The offi cial reason was that I had decided to concentrate on the triangle. After all, it pays to spe-cialise.

WHAT’S NEW...

THE Rotary Club of Frankston Sunrise wel-comed over 20 guests to a breakfast at 7am on Wednesday 4th of May at Baxter Barn in Baxter, which is part of the Sages Cottage property in Sages Road.

The purpose of the breakfast meeting was to thank sponsors and supporters of Frankston Sunrise’s 2016 Charity Golf Day, held at The National Long Island Course, Frankston - Dan-denong Road Frankston.

The day raised over $30,000, much of which will be donated to local and Victorian charities.

Among the guests on the day were Rotary District Governor Merv Williams and Dr Gil-lian Kay, Director of Community Development, at Frankston City Council.

The president of Frankston Sunrise , Eren Er-dogan, welcomed the attendees, speaking how Frankston Sunrise value their participation in fundraising events; from conducting Communi-ty barbeques at Bunnings to building boatsheds on the beach in Frankston. Those present then

enjoyed a buffet breakfast. He then handed proceedings to the chairman

of the day, David McKenzie and his trusty side-kick Shane Thomas. After speaking about the sponsors of the golf day and the contributions they make to fundraising efforts (about 600,000 over the last 12 to 15 years), he announced the following donations:

THE International Cool Climate Wine Show is again proud to share a rare opportunity to assess the styles, characteristics and latest trends of inspirational cool climate wines entered in the 2016 show, with everyone.

You will be able to taste wines from many classes including sparkling wines, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Shiraz from vintages from 2012 to 2015 and older.

The depth and breadth of the wine on show is vast. Many wines come from boutique vine-yards producing small commercial quantities, so this is your chance to seek out some outstanding but lesser known labels. Some wines are from vineyards where grapes are handpicked and wines handcrafted by winemakers with a pas-sion for exploring terroir and the true expression of the grape. This is a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded.

Compare wines of the same grape variety from different regions; focus on wines from spe-cifi c regions or sample labels and styles you’d like to know more about.

The ICCWS Public Tasting is held at the Mornington Racing Club. It’s designed for wine enthusiasts keen to fi nd new wines for their cellars; for winemakers, educators, retailers and sommeliers wanting to identify trends and discover some real cool climate gems, and also for those who just love a glass of wine.

Now, for the best bit. The People’s Choice Award is up to you. Vote for your favourite wine and show the winemaker your appreciation.

Also, don’t miss the wine show Awards Dinner at the MRC on Friday, May 27th - an amazing opportunity to enjoy a sensational menu showcasing local produce and featuring the wines of the 16th ICCWS. Places limited - book now on www.internationalcoolclimatewi-neshow.org.au

Mornington Street corners, bars and restaurants will come alive over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, June 10 – 12, as some of the biggest names in the business hit town for the fourth annual Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. The 2016 festival is set to take things to a whole new level with the introduction of a new Blues program which will be jam packed with some of Mornington Peninsula’s favourite artists!

The 2015 festival was a huge success, with more than 116 performances in and around Mornington, and this year festival organisers the Mornington Chamber of Commerce are aiming to raise the bar even further.

Multi-ARIA nominee Frank Bennett kicks things off at The Rocks on Friday, June 10. Bennett’s uncanny ability to recapture the magic of Sinatra in concert has made him one of the most popular and sought after entertainers in Australia today. Friday evening also plays host to a great blues line up at The Grand Hotel with local favourites Wilson & White, Diddy Reyes and Rob Papp’s Blues Head supporting the unmissable Soul Sacrifi ce, Melbourne’s best Santana touring band.

Off the back of an epic performance in 2015, soul singers Vika Bull and Adrew DeSilva (pictured) are set to draw a crowd to their performance ‘Let’s Get It On, The Life and Music of Marvin Gaye’ at the Grand Hotel Sunday June 12. Likewise, Vince Jones returns to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Saturday June 11 with a new and unique show created exclusively for the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival.

There are also a heap of great free performances in and around town all weekend including a killer blues line up at Double G Saloon, Jazz-A-Thon at Leaf and Bean, a jam packed showcase of jazz at Gods Kitchen and for the latin lovers, newly opened Casa De Playa presents La Rumba who will have you dancing till the wee hours of Saturday night!

Between Friday and Sunday there are over 50 performances available for you to experience ranging from intimate Jazz dinner shows to dance fl oor take over swing and blues sessions including the ever popular Mick Pealing and band at the Bay Hotel Sunday afternoon.

For something a little more unique, Brooklands of Mornington are hosting a one of a kind Chefs Choice 5 Course Dining Experience on Friday evening accompanied by an evening of Jazz in the Eighteen78 dining room. Bookings can be made directly with the venue.

For a toe tapping good time, The Royal Hotel has created their very own ‘Jazz Club’ offering a night of swing and splendour with the Gatsby Swing performing classics of the roaring 20’s and 30’s.

Of course Saturday and Sunday will offer a wide variety of free street entertainment with roving bands parading the Main Street and children’s entertainment to keep the little ones enthralled too!

Tickets are Now On Sale! The full program and event information can be found online at www.morningtonjazz.com.au or by contacting Mornington Chamber of Commerce on 5975 4522 (Mon-Wed).

JAZZ HANDS AT THE READY…


TASTE OF SORRENTO

Historical, seaside Sorrento is again hosting its mouth-watering food, wine and beer festival during the fi rst weekend in June, and it’s set to be the best yet.

The program includes a variety of gastronomical delights including masterclasses, cooking demonstrations, tutored tastings, degustations, gourmet menus, foodies’ market and more, all in the heart of Sorrento village. Starting Thursday evening and continuing throughout the weekend, a variety of gourmet lunches, dinners and classes will take place in restaurants, cafes and even the demonstration kitchen in the “Taste” marquee hosted at the Claret & Co (previously Three Palms) courtyard at 154 Ocean Beach Road.

Taste of Sorrento is proud to play host to several highly-acclaimed chefs and food writers in this year’s event, who’ll present masterclasses not to be missed. Just a few of these include:

• Jacques Reymond – Michelin star and three-hatted chef

• Adrian Li (pictured) – Saigon Sally

• Adam D’Sylva – executive chef at Coda and Tonka in Melbourne

• Paul Mercurio – chef, author and TV presenter

• Bob Hart – food writer, broadcaster (3AW and the Herald Sun), chef, author (Heat And Smoke, 1 And 11 – Mastering the Dark Art

of Real Barbeque)

The highly popular foodies’ market and “Taste” day will be extended in 2016 to feature across 2 days! From 10am to 3pm on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June, producers, provedores, wineries and brewers will put out their best gourmet supplies while a series of demonstrations are provided in the Marquee kitchen. With music and kids’ entertainment fi lling the street, it will be a great day for tasting, sipping, listening and indulging in the best that Sorrento and the Mornington Peninsula have to offer.

With many more interesting boutique activities all set in a spectacular, historic seaside village only 90 minutes south of Melbourne, or a relaxing 40 minutes by ferry across the bay from the Queenscliff, Taste of Sorrento is a great way to treat the senses and embrace all that winter has to offer.

A full event program is available at www.tasteofsorrento.com.au, or you can download the Sorrento – Live the Life app from the App Store or Google Play to make direct bookings and fi nd event locations.

Brought to you by the Sorrento-Portsea Chamber of Commerce and proudly supported by Searoad Ferries, with thanks to sponsors Mornington Peninsula Shire, Tourism Victoria, Bayside Automotive Group and the Mornington Peninsula News Group.

Employment Motoring


PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt LANGWARRIN proved once again just how tight the MPNFL Penin-sula Division competition is when it recorded one of its best victories in recent times.

Playing Mornington at Mornington is never a happy hunting ground for most sides, however, the young Kangas came to play, led all after-noon and won 13.16 (94) to 10.11 (71).

The Doggies seemed to get their mojo back last week against Chelsea with the return of Michael Gay and Jimmy Cameron, however neither had much infl uence on Saturday.

Langwarrin beast Matty Naughton is considered one of the best big men in the game and he proved why again on Saturday, beating the league medal winner Gay and playing a vital role in the victory.

Without two of their best players, Gerard Brown and Sean Herdman, the Kangas stuck to their guns and recorded their fi rst win of the sea-son under the guidance of new coach Brad Dredge (Shane Paterson coached the fi rst win against Edi-Asp while Dredge was getting mar-ried).

Blake Harkness had a wonderful break out season a couple of sea-sons back but was back to his best through the middle with a couple of goals, while Nick Tuddenham proved that ability can become reality with a near best on ground performance.

The Kangas have found a genuine goal kicker in Kieran Albanese. Albanese has booted 21 goals for the season after booting another four on Saturday.

Opposition teams have stated previously that Langwarrin’s ‘good’ is very competitive, however, they don’t do it for long enough – that changed on Saturday.

The challenge now for the young and rebuilding Kangas is to fi nd that level of consistency.

For Mornington, it was a shocking result. Talent-wise and on paper, they have the Kangas covered.

The reality is that the Doggies are a long way off it and slowly losing touch with the top four.

Dominant fi ve goal performances from Pines’ key forward targets Guy Hendry and a returning Tom Bongetti proved too much for Kar-ingal to handle on Saturday.

The Bulls are lean at best down in defence and the Pythons forward power was always going to be the difference between the sides in the end.

However, in saying that, the Bulls were right in the game for the most part, leading by three points at the fi nal change.

The dam walls broke in the last with Pines booting seven goals to one to win 15.12 (102) to 10.5 (65).

While the talk was about the Pines’ forwards, it was key backman Beau Hendry who dominated, along with Luke Potts in the middle of the ground.

Brett Burns and Anthony Joel were among the Bulls’ best, along with youngster Brad Occhipinti, who booted three goals.

Mt Eliza bounced back from its shock defeat at the hands of Bon-beach last week to get the four points against Seaford.

Tigers’ coach Ben Murphy told the RPP Footy Show live on Satur-day morning (98.7FM from 9-10.30am) that his team’s performances against the ‘better’ sides in the competition had been poor this season and he wanted a solid, four quarter effort against the Redlegs.

Murphy certainly got that on the weekend, his side trailing by just one point at half time and by ten points at three quarter time. The Tigers booted 2.6 in the third and should have been closer or even in front.

The Redlegs turned up the heat in the last quarter with Rohan Hea-sley and Justin Van Unen (four goals) taking control and youngsters Blake Millane and Jordan Capkin having a real infl uence, eventually running out 13.15 (93) to 9.6 (60) winners.

Bonbeach made it two wins on the trot and moved to within a game of the top fi ve with a commanding 16.12 (108) to 10.11 (71) victory against neighbour Chelsea.

Once again, Chelsea’s inability to make the most of their opportuni-ties really did cost them.

At half time the Gulls had booted 2.10 after booting seven behinds in the opening quarter. Bonbeach was 7.6 at the major change.

The second half had little to do with conversion – Bonbeach was simply too good.

Jackson Sole and Justin Bennett dominated all afternoon for the Sharks and Chris Bryan was dominant with three goals.

Alex Trowell made a real impact with three goals in his fi rst game and Shane McDonald fi nished with four majors.

Grant Trew and Matt Gardiner were the best of the Seagulls, while James Brain and Matty Baxter booted three goals apiece.

Frankston YCW maintained its unbeaten run with a 15.18 (108) to 8.2 (50) win against Edithvale-Aspendale.

The Stonecats booted fi ve goals to one in the third quarter after lead-ing by just 19 points at the major break to break open the game.

Lew Roberts, David Bodley and Jack Greenwood all booted three goals each for the Stonecats while fl eet-footed brigade members in Tony Lester and Jai Coghlan dominated.

Mark Meehan booted four goals for the Eagles and Chris Whylie was outstanding yet again in the ruck.

INTERLEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE MPNFL Sharks will tackle the Northern Football League at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve this Saturday, starting at 1.45pm.

Coach John Hynes and his brain-strust, including Edithvale premiership captain Pat Poore, two-time premier-ship coach Gavin Artico and former Melbourne player Paul Hopgood, have narrowed the fi nal squad to 31 after round six matches on Saturday.

The latest player to withdraw from the squad was inform Somerville defender Scott Simpson for ‘personal reasons’.

The MPNFL Sharks will train at Frankston VFL Park this Monday and Wednesday. The fi nal team of 22 will be named on Wednesday night.

The leadership squad consists of Rik-

ki Johnston (Dromana), Warwick Miller (Morninton), Anthony and Byron Barry (YCW), Mitch Hallahan (Sorrento) and Luke Potts (Pines).

The other 25 squad members are:Kevin Lylak (YCW), Paul Ro-

gasch (Hastings), Timmy McGennis ( Somerville), Beau Cosson (Dromana), Guy Hendry (Pines), Kyle Hutchison (YCW), Aaron Edwards (Pines), Paul Minchington (YCW), Tim Bongetti (Pines), Justin Van Unen (Mt Eliza), Dylan Jones (Bonbeach), Luke Tap-scott (Sorrento), Paul Scanlon (Pines), Christian Ongarello (Dromana), Jack-son Calder (Mornington), Dale Sutton (Frankston), Luke Hewitt (Hastings), Beau Hendry (Pines), Brenton Cred-lin (YCW), Anthony Bruhn (YCW), Dan Gormley (Mt Eliza), Ryan Santon (YCW), Shane McDonald (Bonbeach), James Cameron (Mornington) and

Ryan Kitchen (Frankston).Hynes said he was hoping for a big

crowd to get down and support the Sharks.

“Northern Football League knocked over Eastern Football League recently and are expected to have a very strong side,” Hynes said.

“I think we have assembled a very strong and talented list of committed players who want to play with one an-other and represent our league.

“It’s a wonderful squad, as is the Young Guns Squad (they play Yarra Ranges on Saturday in Healesville) and we believe we’ll put on a great show.

“I really do hope that a big crowd gets down to Rye and gets right behind their footy league,” Hynes said.

The game will also be broadcast on RPP FM (98.7 or 98.3FM).

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt RYE are in real trouble after being thrashed by arch rival Sorrento in MPNFL Nepean Division football on Saturday.

On a day of celebration for the De-mons as they embraced their 2006 pre-miership heroes on the 10th anniversa-ry, the team on the fi eld let down their past champions with a poor display.

The reality is Rye relies too heavily on their top end talent and don’t have the quality at the bottom end to com-pete with the best in the competition.

If you can stop the infl uence of Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Mullett, Kris Bardon, Nathan Henley and Matt Greig, you win the game against Rye, simple as that.

Mullett, as silky and as graceful as he is, doesn’t hurt the opposition, despite racking up 30 touches a week. Bardon was kept to less than 15 touches on Saturday due to the work done by Jack Falck. Henley got a little bit of it but most of it was off half back. Greig was starved of supply but was beaten by youngster James Brigden.

Adam Kirkwood was Rye’s best player, doing an outstanding job on the dangerous Nick Corp, before moving into the middle when the game was al-ready lost.

Dean Milhouse worked tirelessly for the Demons and James Appleford had a real crack all afternoon.

On the other hand, Sorrento were superb in the 21.16 (142) to 13.6 (84) demolition.

Luke Tapscott got the Sharks going with two fi rst quarter goals playing as a forward. He fi nished with fi ve and more than 25 possessions to be award-ed best on ground.

Ryan Williams comfortably won in the ruck for the visitors and Zac Byrns roved to him perfectly, dominating the clearance work.

Where Rye relies on its top end, it was hard not to notice Sorrento’s lesser likes.

Chad Harris booted three goals and along with Danny Stephenson, didn’t mind getting into the heads of the op-position, despite their inexperience.

Max Gardner and Shannon Gladman

each had plenty of it and Jack Grant is simply a left foot version of his older brother Daniel, with a little more size.

If these half a dozen players, along with Brigden, are the ‘bottom end’ players at Sorrento, they are in for some exciting times.

They are all classy movers, com-posed and ready-made senior football-ers. There are also at least another three Under 19s that could make their mark this season.

The more experienced Ryan Potter, Tyrren Head and Brent Kenyon all dominated in the back half and Scott Lockwood was back to his vintage best for Sorrento, jumping and marking the footy. He played deep later in the game and looked a lot more dangerous within range.

Red Hill took its biggest scalp of the season, carrying on from its last quar-ter onslaught last week (against Rye) to beat Somerville.

After last week’s performance against Hastings, Somerville looked head and shoulders above any other team in the competition.

However, with a bit of homework from the coaching team and some ex-ecution from the playing group, Red Hill’s performance again highlighted how even this competition is.

Nick Walsh, Mitch Wallace and Josh Siverson got the jobs on Tom Shaw, Ben Crowe and Luke Rowe and all of them won those battles.

Harry Larwill played a forward de-fensive role on Scott Simpson and kept him quiet while booting three goals himself and Dan McNamara provided

plenty of run and drive.The Hillmen opened up an 18 point

lead in the second quarter and went on to win by 31 points, 12.13 (85) to 8.6 (54).

Two things Somerville has to focus on in the next few weeks – do every-thing to get Lachy Williams back from Box Hill and fi nd themselves someone with experience to run the bench.

A couple of weeks ago, Tyabb ap-peared to be building towards its fi rst win. It went off the rails a little last week against Crib Point.

On Saturday, the Yabbies found their mojo against Pearcedale and went within two points of fi nding their fi rst win in years.

Tyabb were level with Pearcedale at quarter time, led by nine points at half time and by one point at the last change.

When Ethan Rahilly booted the fi rst goal of the last quarter, the Yabbies looked like they may cause an upset.

However, two goals in two minutes midway through the last to Pearce-dale’s Zach Campbell and Glenn An-derson saw the home side take a fi ve-point lead.

The Yabbies peppered the goals in the back end of the last quarter but couldn’t fi nd them, fi nishing with six behinds in the last, one of which came after the siren in a kick that could have won them the game.

Pearcedale coach Jamie Merchan said “Tyabb deserved to win the game”.

“They should have won. Their pres-sure was outstanding and there’s no doubt they were the best side on the day,” Merchan said.

“If they (Tyabb) can keep up that

level of pressure for the rest of the sea-son, I have no doubt a win is not too far away. Mark Paganoni and his team should be very proud of themselves.”

Troy Jacobson and Ben Mitchell were the difference between the sides for the Panthers while Jake Anderson with fi ve goals and Tyson Sparkes, who was back into the Tyabb side, got their top votes.

Devon Meadows led Rosebud by ten points at half time before the reign-ing premier booted seven goals to two in the second half to win 9.11 (65) to 6.12 (48).

Keegan Downie was again the star with three goals while Ben Dwyer dominated in the middle of the ground.

Meadows’ skipper Jesse Dehey was his side’s best, along with Joel Hillis.

Hastings bounced back nicely against arch rival Crib Point, winning 12.15 (87) to 5.8 (38).

The Blues got off to a solid start but couldn’t shake off the Pies until the last quarter, where they booted seven goals to one.

Nick Gray with three goals, Pete Mawson and Shaun Foster were the best of the Blues while Kain Stratton and Brad Davidson shone for the Mag-pies.

Frankston Bombers sit in third place on the ladder after a 13.16 (94) to 10.13 (73) victory against Dromana.

The Bombers led all afternoon with Dale Sutton and Sam Fox dominating.

The Tigers are now second bottom on the ladder and little hope of playing fi nals, despite the good efforts on Sat-urday of Sam Guerts and Billy Quigley.
