Many hands make light work NEARLY 40 Rye Primary School Year 4 students recently rolled up their sleeves for a planting session with the Friends of Rye Foreshore. The Friends Coordinator, Mechelle Cheers and shire NatureLinks contractor, Sue Wade, were thrilled with having so many extra pairs of hands to help with a mass planting of indigenous hairy spinifex along the western end of the town beach. This hardy and quite beautiful indigenous grass helps retain the beach structure by stabilising sand movement. Teacher, Sandra Emile said students were enthusiastic with having the opportunity to make a difference while learning why the spinifex is better suited to local dunes than the introduced marram grass. Their teamwork has given Rye foreshore a better chance of withstanding the damage of climate change.

Shire CEO provides parking fine update Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO has released a statement regarding the influx of parking fines following outrage from the community. The statement comes following community concerns after residents began receiving multiple infringements for parking on nature strips in narrow streets (“Tyabb residents raise concerns over fines”, The News, 27/08/26). In the statement, shire CEO Mark Stoermer said the shire acknowledges the public’s concerns regarding parking fines. “While safety needs to remain our priority – some residents who have

been affected are rightly fed up,” said Stoermer. “We do have a problem that I’m committed to fixing.” He said the shire’s contractors have been enforcing Victorian road rules but that the way the rules are being applied is not always producing fair outcomes. “We agree, in certain instances, that people should not be fined for trying to do the right thing – particularly in narrow streets where parking entirely on the road may obstruct traffic or stuck in traffic around busy school pickups,” said Stoermer. “Our current one-size-fits-all approach is not working. We need to own that and fix it.” He said the shire is reviewing the situation and is committed to provid-

ing a balance between a fair response and community safety. “If people believe that they have been unfairly dealt with in this regard, we encourage them to submit an application for an internal review of the decision to issue a fine, which can be done through the shire’s website,” said Stoermer. “The answer is not to stop enforcing parking rules across our shire altogether. It’s to apply them with common sense and achieve a fairer result for our community.” Jordyn White, who has been advocating for the community, said she was impressed by the statement. “I feel like they’re finally understanding the message we’ve been trying to get across: we just want to

safely park and not be hit with ridiculous fines,” said White. “The only thing I’m waiting for, and I’ve stated, is that I want him to put in writing that we’re able to park on the nature strips and not incur any more fines.” White said she feels her effort has been worth it and hopefully change will be made. “I feel me and my neighbour Bec have really, really thrown it to the wall, and we’ve done a great job,” said White. “At the moment, it’s just lip service until something happens, but I’m just going to give them the benefit of the doubt.” White’s neighbour Rebecca Kappe said it was good the shire acknowl-

edged what they’ve been doing is wrong. “However, we would like something in writing, so we can be assured that it’s not going to happen again when a whole new load of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors come in,” said Kappe. “[Stoermer’s] saying that they need to fix it and own it. But when will that be?” Kappe said she feels if she and White hadn’t done anything, no change would have occurred. “People like to make comments but don’t want to actually do anything about it,” said Kappe. “We did stand up, and we wanted to be heard, and it took a while, but we got there in the end.”

Cerberus land sale could impact rare owl species Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillor David Gill has warned the proposed sale of land at HMAS Cerberus could threaten one of the peninsula’s rarest bird species. The powerful owl, which is listed as vulnerable in Victoria, can be found in open forests and woodlands and requires old-growth trees for nesting. Gill said the navy base land contains some of the peninsula’s last remaining untouched bushland and provides important habitat for the species. “Powerful owls are dependent on hollows in old trees for nesting and raising their young,” said Gill. “The Cerberus base has the necessary old indigenous trees that hollow out, but the federal government has decided to put the bushland around the base on the market and is now seeking public feedback.” In February, Defence Minister Richard Marles announced HMAS Cerberus would be “partially divested” as part of a sale of 35,000 hectares of defence real estate (“HMAS Cerberus to be ‘partially divested’ in defence land sell-off”, The News, 04/02/26). Approximately 1,164 hectares of the Cerberus site is proposed for divestment. Mornington Peninsula Shire sought community feedback on its draft submission to the federal government, which outlines the shire’s preferred

use of the land if divested. Community consultation closed on 25 August, and council is due to submit the submission in December. In its draft form, the submission requested the land be primarily used for environmental conservation with limited and carefully managed recreation, tourism, and/or aquaculture. Gill said development or loss of bushland in the area could reduce habitat for the powerful owl, which is already threatened due to human activity. “The sale of Cerberus may be the final straw for this species to be seen again on the Mornington Peninsula,” said Gill. Roger Richards, a local bird expert, said he estimates there to be six or seven pairs of powerful owls remaining on the peninsula. “There are relatively small numbers of them,” said Richards. “To keep their habitat intact is very important.” Richards said any development in the area could have a significant impact on the species. “The Mornington Peninsula is important habitat for the powerful owl, specifically areas such as Cerberus, where you don’t have a lot of people there,” said Richards. “Powerful owls don’t like to be disturbed.” Environmental concerns over the divestment of the land have also been raised by community groups. On 24 August, the environmental group Save Westernport appeared as

the first witness at a public hearing into the planned disposal of Defence estate assets, including the Cerberus land (“Committee looks at Cerberus sell-off, as environment group digs in for fight”, The News, 02/09/26). At the hearing, president of Save Westernport, Jane Carnegie, said the land should not be divested for commercial sale. “We, as a community, say hands off. This land is not for sale,” said Carnegie. “Cerberus is of the highest environmental significance with its diverse ecosystems, endangered species, migratory birds and border with the Ramsar Wetlands of Westernport. “It must be preserved for conservation, and its flora and fauna protected.” Community opposition to the proposed divestment has been ongoing. Over 300 people attended a community consultation on 10 June, with seemingly all attendees in opposition to the proposed divestment (“Fiery meeting over Cerberus sell-off plans”, The News, 15/06/26).

Road conditions ‘extremely dangerous’ - bus driver

Safety Beach couple allegedly harassed by teens on e-scooters and e-bikes

Harrison Borthwick harrison@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula bus drivers are experiencing difficult and dangerous working conditions as bus stops are becoming increasingly unsafe to navigate due to potholes. Safety Beach resident Wayne Marshall, who is a public bus driver, told The News bus stops on the peninsula are deteriorating and have been neglected making them unsafe to stop at. Marshall, who has been a bus driver since 2020, believes deteriorating bus stops have been an increasing issue for well over twelve months. Marhsall is a regular driver on the 884-bus route which covers over sixty kilometres between Frankston Railway Station and Portsea, and points outs two stops that he believes are particularly unsafe – St Johns Wood Rd/Point Nepean Road north bound, and Safety Beach sailing club/Marine Drive north bound. Marshall has had to resort to stopping several metres before the bus stops due to the condition of the road in front of the stops “The side of the road has crumbled to a state that it’s becoming increasingly unsafe for passengers getting on the bus and passengers already on the bus,” said Marshall. “With how big the potholes are and with the rain we’ve been having, it just makes it very difficult to navigate into the stops.” The buses that operate on the 884 routes are articulated buses, also commonly known “bendy busses”, which

Marshall says makes the stops even more difficult to navigate. “It’s just a nightmare. You try not to hurt anyone, because if you’re in the back of the bus, the trailer pivots violently,” said Marshall “I’m trying to look back at the passengers and make sure they’re okay while also trying to navigate my way

out of the stop as well. It’s just an intolerable situation. Marshall has raised the issue with Ventura, the bus operation company he works for, and reported the poor condition of the bus stops with VicRoads, as well as to Nepean MP Anthony Marsh and Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie.

By Raia Flinos AN elderly Safety Beach resident says he and his wife have been repeatedly harassed outside their home by a group of teenagers riding e-scooters and e-bikes. Keith Horobin, who lives at Martha’s Cove with his wife, Catherine, said a group of teenagers had allegedly been banging on the couple’s windows and garage door and verbally abusing them. On 6 September, Horobin was sitting in his living room watching television when he heard banging on the window. “I thought, what the hell is that?” said Horobin. He said there were six teenage boys outside his window, whom he estimated to be between 13 and 17 years old. Horobin said when he went outside to speak to them, they began swearing at him. “I said I’ll shut the shutters and just close everything up and they’ll go away, and the next thing I hear is banging on the garage door,” said Horobin. “My wife and I went to talk to them, and they told her to go and get f***ed.” Horobin said he contacted security and the police following the incident. Three days later, he was sitting in his office when he heard banging on the window again. “I looked outside, and there they were, six of them,” said Horobin. Horobin said the group were all riding e-bikes or e-scooters, wearing hoodies, and performing wheelies. He said security attended the property but told him they were not permitted to physically intervene.

Horobin said he reported both incidents to Rosebud Police, who confirmed they are in the process of investigating the two incidents. Horobin said the repeated incidents have been distressing for him and his wife. “It’s tough,” said Horobin. “I’ve turned 85 last week, and my wife’s just in the first stage of dementia. She was crying her eyes out, and we’ve done nothing.” Horobin also raised concerns about teenagers riding on e-bikes and e-scooters at high speeds without helmets. Victoria Police says e-scooter riders must be at least 16 years old, wear a helmet, and travel at no more than 20km/h. E-bike riders can be any age, but legal e-bikes must have a maximum continuous rated power output of no more than 250 watts and motor assistance that cuts off at 25 km/h. Victoria’s rules require well-fitted helmets to be worn when riding bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters, or human-powered scooters. In July, police on the peninsula began using drones to help identify offenders on motorcycles, e-bikes, and trail bikes (“Police on track to stopping bike hoons”, The News, 27/07/26). Police encourage members of the public to report any dangerous riding. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

A message to the Premier

Picture: Yanni

Dear Premier Carroll,

When the State Government stopped maintaining the historic Flinders Pier a decade ago, it fell into such disrepair that 45,000 Victorians demanded action.

Government makes homelessness commitment By Harrison Borthwick THE Victorian government have announced a further $24.8m to help strengthen Victoria’s response to rough sleeping crisis. The Mornington Peninsula is one of the areas most targeted in the push to help reduce homelessness and more specifically rough sleeping. As of August 2026, there are 157 active homeless cases on the Mornington Peninsula, 107 of which are rough sleeping. The August 2026 numbers are a significant increase on twelve-months ago, when there were 105 cases of active homelessness. The government is hoping this latest investment will help fund new measures to respond to rough sleeping and get and keep people house. The new measures outlined included; the rollout of by-name lists to help direct recourses and priories rough sleepers most in need, the expansion of assertive outreach workers to every area of the state, expanded Housing First tenancy supports for an extra 1,000 people at risk of homelessness, and further address youth homelessness.

Victorian homelessness minister Nick Staikos said this new investment is to help find new ways to tackle the increasing issue of homelessness in Victoria. “Our homelessness response spans the full continuum – from outreach and crisis accommodation to supportive housing and social homes,” said Staikos. Mornington Community Support Centre CEO Ben Smith told The News the new investment is encouraging but it’s still early days. “I think this demonstrates that the government has listened to the advocates on the peninsula that have been doing hard work,” said Smith. “It won’t solve all of the problems, but it will certainly contribute to providing some great resourcing on the ground.” The new announcement comes after the Victorian government announced a $2.1m funding package dedicated towards homelessness outreach services on the peninsula back in July of this year (“Homelessness funding announcement for outreach services”, The News, 28/7/26).

Heritage Victoria intervened and listed the Flinders Pier for its historical significance, ruling that the pier must either be properly maintained or re-built the same.

Instead, your Government demolished the Heritage listed structure, left 12 new piles sitting abandoned in the water, and refused to re-build the historic inner pier. This was a betrayal of trust for the 8 local communities the pier serves; and for the hundreds of thousands of Victorians of all ages, abilities, and cultures who use the timber pier every year. Premier, we expect better. It is now time to restore and re-build the Flinders Pier for all Victorians, just as your Government publicly promised only 9 months ago.

Shire endorses new coastal advisory committee Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have voted to condense the current five coastal advisory groups (CAGs) into one committee that will help provide advice on the development of the shire’s Coastal Strategy. At the 1 September council meeting, councillors endorsed the council officers’ recommendation to consolidate the CAGs into a single committee following a recent review. The review found the current model has seen declining participation, quorum difficulties, and varying effectiveness across the five groups. All existing group members will be invited to participate in the Coastal Strategy Advisory Committee, which will provide community advice and local knowledge to help develop the shire’s Coastal Strategy. Cr Paul Pingiaro, who moved the motion, said the CAGs do some really great work but have seen a 38% decrease in participation and a 24% failure to achieve quorum. Pingiaro said the “disappointing bit” was that in November 2025, members were surveyed, and results found 42% believed council didn’t value their advice. “The purpose of the CAGs is to provide advice during the development of strategic coastal planning documents including coastal adaptation plans, coastal marine management plans, and master plans,” said Pingiaro.

“That strategic document that’s coming up, we want our coastal advisory groups’ input in.” Pingiaro said he believes council needs to support friends groups and CAGs who want to “do boots on the ground stuff”. “For me, these community advisory groups only work if the advice is actually getting to us in a meaningful way, and that is what this officer’s recommendation is doing for us,” said Pingiaro. “Providing the structure where it matters, with the purpose, the feedback, and the genuine influence.” Cr Patrick Binyon said the members’ feedback was clear. “They highlighted how hard it was to maintain regular attendance and hit quorum; some called for clearer guidance, some called for online meeting options,” said Binyon. “When attendance drops, the heavy lifting falls on just a few of the dedicated people, and that’s not fair nor sustainable, hence supporting the officers’ recommendation for the Coastal Strategy Advisory Committee.” Cr David Gill was the only councillor to vote against the motion. He put forward an amendment which was denied as Mayor Stephen Batty said it was an alternative motion. Gill wanted to retain the current CAGs as well as introducing a Coastal Strategy Advisory Committee made up of two members from each existing group. “Why did 13 people resign from the previous CAGs, and why haven’t they been successful?” said Gill.

“People don’t see the value in the CAGs... because we couldn’t service them; we didn’t try to find a different way to run those meetings, to get feedback from people in local areas about their local foreshore.” Gill said people don’t want “to sit on a committee and talk about one thing for three years and then see a management plan that’s not enacted”. “People want to go down to the beach, look at the problems and come back and say these are the problems our beach has,” said Gill. “There are things that we should be doing to improve our local beaches in that local area. That’s what people want to do, and that’s what we’ve taken away from them.” Gill said he predicts the committee “won’t last a year” as people won’t want to talk about big picture issues and not talk about their local beaches. Cr Kate Roper said it’s sad to see the disintegration of the CAGs. “We appreciate and thank those who gave their time to the CAGs in the past and the other friends groups, and we really need you, and moving forward I hope they continue to be involved in looking after our beaches and foreshores,” said Roper. The shire will now adopt a new Terms of Reference, appoint remaining CAG members to the Coastal Advisory Strategy Committee, and appoint a council representative.

New St Andrews Beach Recreation Club agreement endorsed Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire have voted in support of a three-year service agreement with St Andrews Beach Recreation Club, which will provide a pathway towards club-led management. At the 1 September council meeting, councillors unanimously supported the recommendation to enter into the three-year agreement. The shire currently maintains the hall and open space at an annual cost of approximately $51,000 and has spent around $121,000 in improvements over the last five years. The club advised the shire it doesn’t have the capacity to independently manage the facilities as usage and hall hire remain low. The service agreement will provide short-term support and help the club build the capacity to move towards independent management. Cr David Gill, who moved the motion, said the overall view of St Andrews Beach is that it “doesn’t receive much return from the council”. “Virtually every other facility like this in the shire and in most places around Australia has been taken over by local government because local populations couldn’t afford the maintenance and renewal of those facilities,” said Gill. Gill said the three-year term gives the beach club time to get back on its feet or provides an opportunity to further consider the club’s future. “They’re contributing enormously to their local community, and only in

Picture: Supplied recent times are we really contributing for them,” said Gill. “Now is, I suppose, a time of reckoning to see what the future lies for St Andrew’s Beach and what role council will have… and come up with hopefully a good answer for that community.” Cr Max Patton said the open space at the club is extremely important as it allowed for NinchFest to take place.

“We saw exactly what the peninsula community is about, drawing people of all ages and backgrounds from across the peninsula to celebrate arts and culture right in the heart of the St Andrews community,” said Patton. “It was a perfect demonstration of what is possible when council supports groups exactly like this.” Patton said the club has recently built padel courts, which he suspects

will be incredibly popular. “In my mind, that’s a club reinventing itself and building an income stream, which is precisely the capability this agreement is asking them to develop,” said Patton. “It seems they’re already well on their way, and this agreement hasn’t even been struck. I look forward to watching their successes over the coming years.”

Cr Michael Stephens congratulated the committee on their work raising the funds for the padel courts. “This is such a positive example of passionate community members working hard to raise $260,000 needed to add padel courts,” said Stephens. “Ultimately our most important work revolves around empowering local community to drive projects they want to see in their communities.” President of St Andrews Beach Recreation Club, Anne Lee, said they were “very happy” with the shire’s decision to continue assisting the club. “We have had an ongoing agreement with the shire to open our recreation grounds, including green space, barbeques, playground, pétanque pistes, and hall, to all residents and visitors in our surrounds for the last 15 years,” said Lee. “Our grounds are highly valued and enjoyed by all.” Lee said the extension is made with the expectation that the club becomes fully self-funded at the end of the three years. “This, of course, means the maintenance and includes the maintenance of the large grounds, hall, ablution block, playground, and barbeques, for the continuing enjoyment of all in the community,” said Lee. The shire will provide up to $50,000 annually in maintenance support over the next three years. The club must work collaboratively with council to implement a transition plan and provide biannual status reports outlining its progress towards financial stability.

Flinders vegetation removal sparks call for action Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au A FLINDERS couple have raised concerns over the alleged removal of native vegetation near and on their coastal property, prompting an investigation by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Tania de Jong and Peter Hunt contacted The News after alleging a significant amount of vegetation was cut down in the area surrounding their Flinders property on 5 June. The couple said the vegetation was removed from an area adjoining a neighbouring property where a new build has been under construction for 18 months. “On 5 June, we were alerted to the fact that a whole lot of trees and shrubs had been destroyed and cut down deliberately,” said de Jong. “There were pink marks put on all those trees, and they’ve been felled and just left in this terrible mess and caused the most devastating destruction to the pristine, natural environment.” De Jong and Hunt said vegetation on their property and council land had been chopped down, their beach path steps had been damaged, and cut down vegetation had been left behind. “It’s heartbreaking to anyone who cares about land conservation or community; it’s really upsetting,” said de Jong. “It’s a small community in Flinders, and it’s a beautiful, pristine part of the foreshore there with so much natural

Picture: Supplied wildlife, and it’s so sad that anyone could think that they can just go and do whatever they want and chop down whatever they want for their own convenience.” The couple said they reached out to the council on multiple occasions regarding the incident. “We have contacted the mayor,

CEO and planning executives... and they are investigating the incident,” said de Jong. “We urgently need the damage remediated, the debris removed and the trees replaced. Surely there are penalties for this criminal behaviour.” Cr David Gill said there is only circumstantial evidence, which the

council can’t prosecute based on. “We need direct evidence... or we need someone who’s directly seen them do it and can identify people,” said Gill. Shire CEO Mark Stoermer said native vegetation is an essential part of the peninsula’s environment and contributes to the character and biodi-

Shire needs to come clean over irresponsible use of weedkiller OPINION By Sarah Russell MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council needs to come clean about its roadside spraying policy – who is applying the chemicals, what instructions does council give the contractors and which herbicides are they using? There seems to be a pattern of concerning behaviour regarding dangerous chemicals, with ratepayers having just found out that we had to foot the bill when contractors applied the wrong chemicals to football ovals (“Huge bill after ovals’ turf accidentally poisoned”, The News, 8/9/26). In addition to ill-advised herbicide use, what responsibility does the council take when contractors behave aggressively towards a resident who is concerned about the apparent lack of rigour of workers doing the spraying? On 17 August 2026, two contractors inside an unmarked ute carrying a large container of liquid chemicals were seen spraying the roadside in Main Ridge, an established agricultural area. Several properties there are on the “No Spray” list, some with “No Spray” signs on their fences. This is not the first time their boundary areas have been sprayed. It has in fact happened several times. Why is our council continuing to disregard residents’ wishes? It was not possible to identify the company that our council contracted to undertake the Main Ridge spray-

ing because the crew was in an unmarked ute – although its registration number was visible. The driver wore a cotton mask, while the passenger, who was holding the applicator gun, wore full protective gear. Roadside crews spraying chemicals out the window of a vehicle, driving around farming areas with containers of herbicide, also poses health and safety risks. These chemicals are not harmless. The community needs to have confidence that their application all over

the shire is being done responsibly. Did these contractors know what weeds they were targeting? Did they have training in spray drift? The complexity of using these chemicals at scale is detailed in the 83-page spray drift assessment manual. Although we can’t expect each contractor to read this long document, those managing the roadside spraying should have an understanding of spray drift. Spray drift is damaging our biodiversity, our environment and, for those with water tanks, possibly their water supplies.

Years of work spent establishing a farming enterprise adjacent to the roadside can be gone in moments when spraying is not done properly. Spray drift is also increasing the risk of fire in the hinterland primarily by drying out vegetation that is not being targeted. Disappointingly, shire employees have a long history of ignoring the spray drift issue. Numerous complaints containing photographic evidence have been submitted. How much evidence does the shire need before they tackle this issue?

Given the long-standing concerns about spraying on the Mornington Peninsula, several community groups have begun collecting time-stamped photos of the place and date of spraying. They are concerned that restoration plantings - for bio-links and koala habitat - may be accidentally dosed with herbicides via drift from roadside spraying. On this most recent occasion, when the driver of the ute saw that photographs were being taken, they did a u-turn. Before speeding off, the man working the applicator gun pointed the nozzle at the photographer. This aggressive and reckless act was clearly meant to intimidate the photographer. The accidental release of herbicide from this equipment could blind a person, among other longer-term consequences. Residents are paying for this work through their rates. At a minimum, residents are entitled to know what herbicides are being used, and at what concentration. Yet, we are unable to get this information from the council. More than 1,700kms of roads are managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Although it has outsourced the job of roadside spraying, the council remains responsible for any adverse outcomes. To protect our environment on the Mornington Peninsula, the council must collaborate with local residents. We must all remain vigilant to ensure the correct herbicide is applied to weeds, and its application is undertaken responsibly. Our future depends on it.

Greens launch two-pronged peninsula campaign for state poll Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au THE Greens have launched their campaigns for the 2026 state election, announcing candidates for the seats of Hastings and Nepean. Mornington Peninsula mum Sianan Healy is stepping up to the plate again for the Nepean ward, after contesting the seat in the 2026 Nepean by-election in May. Healy, who works for a non-profit in women’s health, vowed to be a true community representative in parliament if elected, stating that locals deserved “a progressive, fairer alternative to the major parties that are beholden to billionaires, that try to turn people against each other and sell off our precious environment to the highest bidder.” “Talking with locals, the worry about cost of living and frustration with our political system is clear. People are sick of working harder than ever yet falling further behind - while billionaires keep getting richer,” said Healy. “Our community is also worried about the future of our environment warming seas, loss of native forests, increased bushfire risk - while Labor, One Nation and the Liberals are hell bent on making things worse. “So we’re building a movement here in Victoria of people who’ve had enough of seeing the major parties look after their mates while inequality grows - and who are doing something about it. We’re going to show the world that the communities that make up the

Mornington Peninsula care for each other, for our local environment, and for our planet.” In 2022 in Nepean, candidate Esther Gleixner attracted 3576 of the primary votes cast, 8.77%, coming in third in the primary vote after Liberal and Labor. In the 2026 Nepean by-election in May, and in a very different electoral landscape with no Labor candidate,

a community independent, and a surging One Nation, Healy secured 3805 votes; 9.38% of the primary votes cast. Isaac Willoughby, a local musician and teacher, has been announced as the Greens’ candidate for Hastings. Willoughby said he was running because “Hastings deserves a voice that listens to people, not corporate donors, who will fight for affordable

‘NO STATIC AT ALL’

housing, better public transport links, and a thriving natural environment”. “The Mornington Peninsula has been a conservative stronghold for decades and the neglect of the major parties at every level of government has left many in our communities behind,” said Willoughby. “But It’s time to show them that now is the time for politics of hope, it’s time to show them that we love

our home and want to protect it, the time is now for truth, treaty and justice and that they will be held accountable for the climate mess they’ve gotten us into.” The Greens will not be contesting the seat of Mornington in the 2026 poll. In 2022 in Mornington, the party secured 2677 primary votes, 6.36%, with candidate Harry Sinclair.

Interconnected smoke alarms save Mt Martha home MT Martha Fire Brigade have endorsed the use of interconnected smoke alarm systems after Mt Martha residents were alerted to a fire in their upstairs kitchen, while they were downstairs. Only minutes after returning home, family members were alerted to a fire caused by an unattended pot left on their stove in their upstairs kitchen, triggering the interconnected smoke alarms throughout their house. The homeowner was able to investigate swiftly, discovered kitchen appliances were on fire, and promptly called triple zero (000). Mt Martha Fire Brigade, along with supporting crews, quickly brought the fire under control and prevented it from spreading further. Incident controller and Mt Martha captain

Brandon Crowder said the interconnected smoke alarms played a crucial role in alerting the residents before the fire could develop further. “We strongly recommend installing interconnected smoke alarms, so that if one alarm activates all alarms in the home go off,” said Crowder. “Without the early warning, the fire could have continued burning unnoticed.” The homeowner used a fire extinguisher to reduce the fire before evacuating. “Having a working fire extinguisher in your kitchen can make a real difference in the early stages of a fire, as long as it is safe to use.”

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY

DENNIS COMETTI: CENTIMETRE PERFECT

SBS, 7.30pm

SATURDAY

GRANTCHESTER ABC TV, 7.30pm

Crime-solving clergy may come and go, but for 11 seasons, DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green, pictured) has been the mainstay of this gentle murder mystery. However, this is the ﬁnal episode of Grantchester, and last week’s cliffhanger ending, which saw the detective shot and left ﬁghting for life, feels genuinely perilous. While Geordie’s loved ones keep vigil by his bedside in hospital, Alphy (Rishi Nair) and DC Peters (Bradley Hall) track the shooter (Sonny Ashbourne Serkis) across Cambridgeshire countryside. It all brings Alphy’s ongoing crisis of faith to a head.

This week, intrepid tour guide Shaun Micallef concludes his second sojourn around the globe, helping famous faces follow in the footsteps of their ancestors – and he’s saved the best for last. For this ﬁnal chapter, Micallef’s travel companion is TV presenter Tony Armstrong (pictured), whose Indigenous heritage is well known; however, the former AFL player isn’t quite as acquainted with his Irish roots. The joy of this series is the revealing conversations held en route, as Micallef unravels the person behind the public persona. A highlight is witnessing the genuine delight on Armstrong’s face as he uncovers parallels between his Aboriginal and Irish cultures.

SEVEN, 8.30pm

AFL fans might have come for the main event, but they stayed for the soundtrack when unforgettable commentator Dennis Cometti (pictured) was behind the mic. Faster than the action on the field, the former player and coach had an unmistakable way with words that defined his five-decade career, and possessed the rare power to make an average game interesting. This featurelength documentary honours the life of the late broadcasting legend – as told by those who knew him: his son, Mark; colleagues Bruce McAvaney, Eddie McGuire, Sandy Roberts and Basil Zempilas; and players Nick Riewoldt, Chris Judd and Bob Murphy. Peppered with memorable calls, it’s a charming tribute. 1809

Peninsula producers put region on national food and wine map THREE Mornington Peninsula businesses have gone head-to-head with the best producers in the country and come out on top, taking home national and state awards that put the region firmly on Australia’s food and wine map. Southern Seagreens was recently named Sustainability Trailblazer at the 2026 Melbourne Food and Wine Legends Awards, recognising its work developing Australia’s emerging commercial kelp farming industry. Its Dromana nursery is where the business cultivates young native giant kelp before transferring it to its offshore farm in the Flinders Aquaculture Fisheries Reserve. Southern Seagreens also harvests wild wakame and transforms it into a range of food products, bringing an innovative approach to seaweed production on the Peninsula. “What we’re doing is really new for Australia. We’re learning how to breed kelp and farm it at sea, which hasn’t been done commercially before here,” Southern Seagreens co-founder Cam Hines told Melbourne Food and Wine. Flinders Mussels took out the From the Sea award at the 2026 Delicious Harvey Norman Produce Awards, one of Australia’s most prestigious food accolades. Founded in 1999 by local mussel farmer Michael “Harry” Harris, the family-run business grows premium blue mussels in the Flinders. Elanto Vineyard in Balnarring was named Best New Winery at the 2026 Halliday Wine Companion Awards, the industry’s benchmark national wine guide.

Founded by experienced Mornington Peninsula vigneron Sandro Mosele, the boutique winery has gained attention for its carefully managed high-density vineyard and premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. The award recognises Elanto as one of Australia’s most promising emerging wine producers. “We’re a small family-run business, and caring for the land is at the heart of everything we do. Around 98 per cent of our farming practices are organic, and herbicides have never been used on the property. We’re committed to producing quality wine while looking after the environment for future generations,” Sandro said. Together, these wins show the Mornington Peninsula holding its own against the country’s top food and beverage producers, from

regenerative aquaculture to premium cool-climate wine. It’s a $1.3 billion sector spanning horticulture, grazing, poultry, cropping and artisan food production, increasingly recognised as one of Australia’s standout food and wine regions. With Christmas menu planning underway, there’s no better time to explore the farmgates, cellar doors and local producers behind these award-winning names. Discover fresh seasonal produce, local flavours and handcrafted products while supporting the growers, makers and producers who help define the region.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mornington robberies – housebreaker appears on nine charges Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Mornington Court of Petty Session on Friday last, George Walter Griffith, aged 22 years, appeared on nine charges of housebreaking. The Bench comprised Dr. J. E. Somers and Messrs. J. G. Barrett, Geo. Flood and P. McArthur, J.’sP. The court was crowded with people anxious to obtain a view of the alleged housebreaker, also to hear the evidence. Griffith was escorted to the court at about 11.10am. Detective Lambell conducted the case for the Crown. The first witness called was Mr. Harper-Brown, of Murrumbeena. He stated that he owned a week-end house in Beach Grove, Mornington. On Sunday, August 8, he left the house securely locked up. In response to a telephone call he visited his seaside residence and found the glass panel of the front door broken and the house ransacked. He then discovered that a linen bag containing about 25 sovereigns and jewellery valued in all at £100, had been stolen from the house. A loaded gun, which had been taken from the cupboard, was found at the foot of the stairs. A bed had been slept upon. Later he identified articles of jewellery (which were found in Griffith’s possession) as the property stolen. When invited to ask the witness any questions, Griffith stated that there were only 17 sovereigns in the bag. Mr. M. Bates, of Balwyn, was the next witness. He said he left his mother’s house on the Esplanade, Mornington, on the 21st August, and all doors and windows were securely

locked. Mrs. A. E. Bates stated that she visited her house at Mornington on 25th August and found the interior of same in a state of disorder. No thing of any value was missing. Mrs. Newbegin, of South Yarra, stated that she left her week-end house at Mornington securely locked on July 28, and on August 27 she found that the place had been broken into, but nothing was stolen. Mr. W. C. Corran stated that he was a caretaker and gardener at Mr. Wasley’s house on the Esplanade, Mornington. On August 23 he left the house at 11am, returned at about 12.45, and on entering the back door found all the inside doors open. He proceeded upstairs and noticed a pair of field glasses on a bed ready for removal. On returning to the kitchen he found the back door locked and the key flung several yards away. Mrs. D. M. Keast stated that she left her house at Mornington securely locked up in July. Her daughter, Miss B. Keast, explained that she visited the place on August 31 and found that it had been ransacked. The next witness was Mr. T. P. Flood, who said he was caretaker of Mr. Hurlestone’s week-end house at Mornington. On August 25 the house was locked, but on the following day he found it in a state of disorder. Mr. Geo. Nicholson stated that he found his week-end residence at Mornington broken into on August 28, and a ladies’ bicycle, tennis racquet and tools valued at £10 were missing. Mr. T. P. Flood said he was care-

taker of Mr. B. Hutchinson’s house at Mornington, and on 26th August found the place ransacked. A hammer was missing, but was found later. An electric iron was stolen. Mr. Hugh Cannon said his brotherin-law owned a house at Mornington, which was found in a state of disorder on 28th August. Detective Lambell stated that after a long search he saw accused on 3rd September outside Flinders Street Station. Accused had just purchased a ticket to Yarram. On being questioned accused said his name was Bates, and he resided at Yarram. Later he admitted his name was Walter Griffith. At the detective office he searched Griffith and found in his possession articles of jewellery, which were identified as the property of Mr. Harper Brown. Detective Lambell said he was then joined by Constable Mason, of Mornington, and Griffith admitted having broken into all the places above-mentioned and made a statement which explained how he left Melbourne on August 8 and stole property from Brown’s house. He returned to Melbourne, and cashed the sovereigns and pawned the jewellery. Later he again visited Mornington and entered Mrs. Bates’ house and stole a writing pad and a book. Next he slept and ate food at Newbegin’s house; also wrote a letter. On 23rd August he entered Wasley’s house and heard someone in the house. He locked the back door and then went to Melbourne.

He came back to Mornington on 24th August and searched Mr. W. S. Keast’s house for money and valuables. He entered Hurlestone’s place the same evening, and then walked along Point Nepean Road to Mordialloc and caught the train to Melbourne. On 26th August he entered Hutchinson’s house, where he stole an electric iron; then broke into Kettle’s house and later Nicholson’s where he stole the articles described and left the electric iron. He slept at Kettle’s house and later rode to Seaford station, where he abandoned the bicycle and pawned the racquet and tools. Constable Mason gave corroborative evidence. As each charge was read out Griffith answered: “Guilty, your Honor.” Griffith was remanded for sentence at the General Sessions on October 1. *** A talented young pianiste At the University of Melbourne music exams, held last week, Miss Eunice Barclay, of Frankston, has again distinguished herself as an exceptional talented young pianiste in passing Grade III pianoforte. Her work, dating from last December, being: Junior division (Trinity College), Grade V. (University Conservatorium of Music), advanced inter mediate (London College of Music), of which she obtained 91 per cent, and Grade III. (University Conservatorium of Music) . This is regarded as exceptional for a child who is only nine years of age. *** PERSONAL

Mrs. F. Bartlett, who has not been in good health of late, is at present on a visit to Daylesford. Friends of Master Ivan Bell will be pleased to learn that he has been promoted to Senior Cadet in charge of the cadets of Australian Commonwealth liner, “Ferndale.” Well done, Ivan! Misses Cam Fletcher and Freda Johnson are on holidays at friends at Wodonga. Cr. W. Hutchinson, the Shire president, made his “first appearance” in public at the Frankston High school celebrations on Friday last. He was called on to make two speeches during the afternoon and acquitted himself like a veteran. If he suffered from stage fright he did not show it, and his numerous friends congratulated him warmly on the success of his efforts. It seems only the other day that our youthful looking Shire president was to be seen leading the fortunes of the Somerville football team, and later as a returned soldier, with a highly creditable record for service abroad. Cr. Hutchinson’s grandfather, according to Mr. Downward, was one of the pioneers of the Mornington district. Mr. R. C. Chapman, first head master of the Frankston High school, was present at the laying of the foundation stone of the new building on Friday last. Mr. Chapman is now located at Shepparton. Mrs. Male, a well-known resident of Frankston, will celebrate her 82nd birthday on Tuesday next. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 17 September 1926

I have just travelled 4000kms across Victoria, SA and NSW. Yes, the Mornington Peninsula has dangerous potholes, although many have now been repaired, thanks to the council allocation of $17m for road repair and the millions allocated through the National Roads to Recovery program. Many people say Victoria’s roads are in a worse condition than SA and NSW. In SA I found the condition of the roads varied across different local government areas. Even parts of the Princes Highway had potholes and many of the minor roads were in need of repair. I travelled back home along the east coast and found the Victorian part of the Princes Highway and many of the minor roads were quite good. There are many causes of potholes and they will always be an issue of concern, and those that are dangerous should be rectified quickly. But as we are approaching the election let’s consider the other issues of importance. Action on climate change and building renewables is clearly one of the most important. We have just seen the tragedy in Nepal resulting from the melting of glaciers and the unprecedented heatwaves and fires in Europe. The policies of both the LNP and One Nation are about undoing much of the good work that has been done by Labor. We must resist that. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Koala concern

Driving around the peninsula I see increasingly more signs encouraging drivers to slow down to protect koalas. That’s a good thing. The Victorian state government has finally released a report that explains the poor state of health of our koala population. Koala numbers are less than half what was previously assumed. And nearly half of the koalas sampled and checked by vets were in such poor health that they were euthanised. With bird flu cases also rising (“Bird flu cases continue to climb”, The News, 8/9/26), now seems a good time to focus on wildlife protection. If we want future generations to enjoy seeing koalas in the wild, we need to do more than just slowing down on the roads. Amy Hiller, Kew

Exit clause

I’m aghast, at the shires cavalier attitude to its most vulnerable citizens. Taking away meals on wheels services,that enable older and frail people to stay in their homes is not a very generous thing to do. Especially in light of considerable increase of our rates and services bills. And taking away the community bus service, condemns all the people who can’t drive anymore to a life of exclusion and possibly forcing them into early care. I would urge the shire to re think this decision,and provide adequate services to its constituents. What where they thinking? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

I agree with your correspondent that “the language of hate” has no role in Australian politics or society (“Pauline Hanson”, Letters, 8/9/26). So it was surprising to read that lawyer Ashli Beards, whose profession depends on both language and the law, has put her hand up as the One Nation candidate for Mornington (“Lawyer enters Mornington contest for One Nation”, The News, 8/9/26). Does Ms Beards support One Nation’s proposal to slash Commonwealth spending by $90b a year? Where will the cuts come from? Among the proposed cuts are childcare, earlychildhood education and paid parental leave. And does she also reject climate science, as Pauline Hanson does? Does she believe climate change is a “hoax” and support abolishing the federal Department of Climate Change? It makes one wonder how long, if elected, Ms Beards would survive in the party. Twenty-five of the 52 people who have represented One Nation in Australian parliaments have either defected or left — almost half. At that rate of attrition, perhaps the most useful clause for Ms Beards would be an exit clause. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Kangaroo commitment

Beggars belief

Paying more for less

In response to Anthony Marsh’s letter (“Kangaroos before politics”, Letters, 8/9/26) there should be nothing disappointing about reading a letter clarifying a political party’s position on protecting the green wedge. Being a president of a local community group (Save Kangaroo On Mornington Peninsula) doesn’t exclude me from having an opinion or seeking a political party position in response to an article in the local paper. There is only one development in the green wedge that poses an unacceptable risk to kangaroos in the Nepean electorate and that would be the permit granted to the Arthurs Seat Eagle. Ironically enough Anthony Marsh was the only candidate who didn’t show up to the Save Our Seat community meeting at Dromana Community Hall prior to the by-election earlier this year. Only someone who would imply a community member puts politics above the work they contribute to the community either doesn’t understand the effort put in or appreciate the efforts of community volunteers. For anyone else interested in the work I do for SKOMP, please book a ticket to “Sunset with Kangaroos” through eventbrite and join us on a Saturday evening with the kangaroos at Seawinds gardens at Arthurs Seat. SKOMP would love to see you there. Craig Thomson, Save Kangaroos On Mornington Peninsula

Kangaroo cull?

Has the shire eliminated all the kangaroos on Arthur’s seat? I have not seen one at the Dromana cemetery for months. There used to be a mob that would wander through,now, you,don’t even,see ‘roo faeces. Maybe we ask the shire if they have completely decimated the roo population or,where have they put them? John Cain, McCrae

Southern Peninsula News

Sorry - someone who while in council repeatedly voted pro-development in flagrant disregard to community outcries to protect the Green Wedge, is now posturing as a champion of the same Green Wedge areas that they were instrumental in destroying? Beggars belief! Cheap vote catching change of tune. The community is not stupid. We will remember when it comes time to vote at the state election in November 2026. Esther Gleixner, Flinders

Parking infringement

In a narrow street near me, a considerate driver parked his car with 2 wheels on the footpath. This causes less obstruction to passing vehicles and doesn’t affect footpath walkers. But the shire says no! And rewards the driver with a $125 fine. Can’t inspectors use common sense and discretion? Warwick Spinaze, Rosebud

Caravan crackdown

It is good to see that begging has been decriminalised and no longer an offence. Begging used to have a penalty up to 12 months in prison or a fine. There should never be a criminal offence for being poor. The City of Frankston has done an audit of all rooming houses in Frankston which include having caravans on premises. The council has referred two locations to their planning office for attention. There may be a cost of living crisis but this does not mean housing investors should be allowed to manipulate the system because for profit. Russell Morse, Karingal

Coffee culture

As a change to the usual subjects of these letters I thought I would write a small dedication to one of the communities who gather at coffee shops on the Mornington Peninsula. This is about Mt Martha village particularly, and the otherwise unrelated people who congregate almost every day at Via Batiste. At the weekend, many of us who drift in and out and eventually become regulars, turned out to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of local identity Bill. However, this is not about Bill’s lifetime of achievements but about a sense of joyful community amongst those who were there. Bill’s the focus and is otherwise famous for talking people into buying his eggs. Gary, once science teacher and football identity is absent on a long break in Lombok. His partner Emma turned up sans the chubby schnauzer, Raf. Paul the builder brought his rat rod and Georgie, his better half. Moose the dog was home dreaming about Alaska. John, 82, ex CFA and farmer, grieving, but serving food and drinks, and making smart-arse comments to anyone who refused. The sweet smell of a good cigar announced Mass the brickie and partner Vanessa. Toni, minus her borrowed dog Ace, helped with the red wine and joy at her grandson’s major jackpot win at the pokies. Neil and Margy were in residence, a gas couple, and politically astute. Dan, the force behind Batiste, ran the show, along with a solid turnout of family. And many other regulars. So, what made this event worthy of a mention? It arises from a postcode, and then friendship, in that order, and its village life on the peninsula. A celebration of all these folk who grow to know each other over a morning coffee. Ken Anderson, Mt Martha

Memory, hearing, eyesight - all good, apart from names; the girls are darlings, the boys mates, problem solved? OR, iPhone, voice, recording, Woolworths Deli. Her name? Alas, halfway to the frozen section GONE. No matter, allow reality the floor, home to my pickled peppers, the rain in bloody Spain, not forgetting red leather yellow leather or letter? AFL Sydney, thrashing Brisbane, pleasure, sadly (though unlikely) short lived, victory over the convict free supercilious Adelaidians, thankfully not all? Cash, money, moola. Facebook, other sites, looking to the old rich, new rich, the almost rich and the hopeful dreamers, most of which never to cross that river, like Marilyn in her movie ‘River of No Return’ or young Justin’s ‘Cry Me a River’. There is, (perhaps?) a difference between some forms of creativity and nut cases? The latest, Princess Pauline’s 3% access to superannuation for specific needs (rent) sensible, assuming a block on rental increases from the cannibalistic property owners. All’s well to live for comfort, in retirement, but no plus if one carks before the fruits? Do you have a favourite day? Always Tuesdays for moire, so long ago (still is) forgotten, possibly years past; kidlets at school, darling wife at work? Maybe message ChatGPT, old enough/silly enough to be friendly with a bloody machine? Reading a review, Miller’s ‘Death/Salesman’ (overwhelmingly positive?) Armfield/ LaPuglia’s Willy. Armfield, Australia’s best, as a director, clearly, not always his casting decisions? And her name? Sadly, time does not necessarily heal all wounds. Go Fremantle, or Sydney. Just saying, hoping, without stress. Daily calendar “A committee of one gets things done.” Joe Ryan. Not if you’re 90 Joe. From the diaphragm mate. Cliff Ellen, Rye
