Under the canopy of the Main street plane trees they marched. Young and old shouldered the generations as the Creswick Light Horse Brigade
led the Bacchus Marsh pre ANZAC Day march from the hospital to the cenotaph outside the RSL. One spectator said the March always sends
a shiver up his spine. You just cant beat the sound of those drums and bagpipes; then to see the diggers marching and being represented is
very emotional. The sun shone through the clouds on a perfect autumn Sunday afternoon, glistening off the war medals of recognition. A large
crowd lined the streets and then joined together for the Commemoration Service. Dignitaries, service clubs and schools laid a wreath in
Remembrance. Bacchus Marsh RSL will hold their dawn service next Monday 25 April from 5.45am with Ballan RSL holding their March and
service from 1pm. Photos Helen Tatchell

Horrific death of pet

By Jessica Howard
A Ballan family is mourning the death of their beloved pet dog after a savage
attack that took place in their
own backyard.
The Edols Street residents
were away on what should
have been a relaxing Easter
holiday, when they heard
the news that Max, a sixyear-old pug had been fatally mauled to death.
Owner Joanne Raffaele said
two dogs entered the property, which at the time was
being cared for by a houseguest, and dragged the
pug through a gate before
viciously attacking it.
Max the pug was rushed to
the vet but did not survive.
We are devastated, Ms
Raffaele said.
He was very much part of
the family, he was like another child.
A spokesperson from Moorabool Shire Council confirmed that council officers,
with assistance from local
police, attended the Ballan
property on Good Friday.
It is alleged that two cross
breed dogs entered a property and attacked a small
pug causing serious injuries.
The pug was seen to by a
Lexi misses the family pet pug, Max. Photo - Helen Tatchell
veterinarian and underwent
emergency surgery, however
the pug sadly passed away
several days later, they said.
The two cross breed dogs
were subsequently seized
by council officers and will
remain in the care of Council until an outcome of this
investigation. As this matter
is an ongoing investigation,
we cannot comment any
further.
Ms Raffaele, a mother of
four, said the incident wasnt
the first time an attack had
occurred in her street, with
numerous other reports over
the last three to four months.
One other animal, a cat,
was killed and a couple of
other cats mauled. It doesnt
just stem to animals though,
as these dogs have also
bailed up humans, she said.

My daughter, for one, was
approached by one of these
dogs a couple of weeks ago
on her way to the school bus
stop. She rang me on her mobile and I had to go outside
and chase the animal away.
The owners of these vicious
dogs should not even have
these animals on the property. They have inadequate
fencing, which is falling

down, full of holes and is not
braced securely, hence why
these animals continue to
get out time and time again
and freely roam the street.
The spokesperson for Council said dog owners have
the responsibility to ensure
their dogs are securely confined to their premises and
not allowed to wander.
Appropriate socialisation,
training and confinement
can minimise the risk of
dogs rushing or attacking.
Owners of dogs involved
in attacks could face court
action, be liable to a fine
in excess of $6,000 and the
dog may be declared menacing, dangerous or even
destroyed.
Ms Raffaele said she hoped
the devastating loss of her
pug Max would result in
local residents having more
responsibility for their pets.
People should not be allowed to have dangerous
dogs in town if they cannot
control them or have sufficient yarding and fencing
to keep them in. My dog
was on its own property,
behind a fence, yet he was
still mauled. I have four children, imagine if it was one of
them.
Council
Clips

Local residents are petitioning for a playground to

be built in a Bacchus Marsh
estate.
Two petitions were presented to the April council
meeting, calling on developer Oliver Hume to install
a childrens playground
in the Parkside Avenue
Reserve in Essence Estate,
however only one petition
was accepted.
120 signatures were obtained, however 105 were
included in an online petition and 15 signatures were
collected in-person on a
hardcopy sheet of paper.
A recommendation put to
the meeting noted that petitions must follow council
guidelines to be valid, and
the online petition did not
meet the guidelines and
therefore should not be formally accepted.
Councillors voted in favour
of the motion, deciding to
accept the petition with 15
signatures.
West Ward Councillor Tom
Sullivan noted that the petition was for the developer
to build the playground, not
council and asked why the
petition was coming before
council.
A report on the call for a
playground to be built will
be prepared by council officers and put to a future council meeting.

A small token
By Jessica Howard
Moorabool Shire residents will
gather in numbers this weekend
to commemorate the spirit of
ANZAC.
Bacchus Marsh RSL president
Irish Kummerlowe said nearly
2000 people congregated outside
the RSL Hall last year a number he hopes to beat this coming
Monday.
The Dawn Service will commence at 5:45am as usual; the
normal dignitaries will be there
alongside Catherine King, the
mayor and other representatives
from council, he said.
I would suggest to people to get
here early as police will have the
area secured and blocked off so
there will be no traffic, meaning
people will have to walk a little
bit. They should also make sure
they wrap up as I am sure, like
last year, it will be cold.
Leading up to ANZAC Day
members of the Bacchus Marsh
RSL will be selling ANZAC appeal tokens outside Westpac
Bank, Darley IGA and inside the
Bacchus Marsh Village Centre, near Aldi.
Mr Kummerlowe said the tokens would be
sold throughout the town until Friday April
22, however would also be available for purchase during the service on April 25.
Meanwhile, the Ballan RSL will honour the
day with a commemorative parade, which
will begin at 1pm from the RSL Hall and
will see dignitaries and other members of

Cenotaph, located outside the Ballan Post

President Robert Nason said wreaths would
be laid, followed by the traditional ode and
minute of silence.
We will then march back up to the Mechanics Institute and we will hold a brief service before going across the road to the RSL
Hall for afternoon tea.
A visit to Ballan by the

Federal Health Minister last
week may not have resulted
in a funding commitment
but there is certainly still
hope.
Sussan Ley toured the facilities at Ballan District
Health and Care last Friday
15 April.
BDHC CEO Wayne Weaire
said the organisation has
been lobbying hard for

funding for its plans to expand facilities and services.
The Minister said she is
going to encourage her staff
members to come and visit
us as a follow-up, to look at
the health and ageing needs
of our community, Mr
Weaire said.

Remembering Court in
those who enlisted Action
By Jessica Howard
A memorial commemorating the First World War will

officially be opened in the
front garden of the Ballan
Hospital this ANZAC Day.
The Anglican Bishop of Ballarat, Right Reverend Gary
Weatherill will officially
open the memorial, which
comprises of commemorative pavers landscaped in
a Canterbury Cross-style
formation, a flagpole, inground lighting and ANZAC roses.
The memorial project grew
out of research undertaken
by the Ballan Shire Historical Society, which uncovered the names of servicemen and women who were
either born in, or lived in
the Ballan Shire at the time
of their enlistment. Most of
these service people are not
named on Ballans existing
cenotaph.
Ballan District Health and
Care CEO Wayne Weaire

RRP
said he was honoured and

delighted to be involved.
Our service was established as a Soldiers War Memorial Hospital Bush Nursing Hospital in 1966 so our
ties to local service men and
women are very strong, he
said.
The project was funded by
a number of local and statewide groups and businesses
including Ballan District
Health and Care, the Ballan Farmers Market, Ballan
RSL, Crossroads Trading,
The Department of Premier
and Cabinets Veterans Fund
(ANZAC Centenary Community Grant), The Moorabool Shire Council (Community Grant) and individual
community donors.
Located in front of the newly named Dr Anthony Mariampillai Centre Community

will be officially unveiled at

In a bizarre rant a man tried to contest constitutional law,

and claimed that the courts are corrupt in the Bacchus
Marsh Court last week.
The man, who cannot be identified due to further ongoing
police investigations, had numerous outstanding speeding
fines which over time had accumulated to $20,000 worth of
debt.
Walking into court, briefcase in hand the accused man
claimed that he was not himself, but rather I am an agent
and witness of the man you say.
The man began by asserting that I do not consent to the
fines before attempting to reference legal precedence dating
back from 1933.
In his argument against the fines the respondent argued that
Victorian law is unconstitutional law and that corporate
entities such as VicRoads cant hand out fines.
Magistrate Gregory Robinson told the man that he was in
serious risk of going to jail if he did not consent to paying
the fines, saying, I will reject the constitutional arguments
made.
In his defence, the accused cited a devastating divorce,
problems with drugs as well as admitting that, I have a
problem with my temper.
The man in question was ordered to pay back a reduced fine
of $7000 of the original $20,000 that was put onto a payment
plan to help ensure the fines were paid.

Suspicious death of teen

By Jessica Howard
Human remains found in
a shallow mineshaft at the
Lerderderg State Park in Bacchus Marsh have been identified as a missing Chelsea
Heights teenager.
Cayleb Hough, 17, was last
seen in Highett on December
20 of last year. His remains

were found in the local park
on March 10, but were not
identified for another four
weeks.
The death is being treated
as suspicious.
Victoria Police believes
Cayleb was seen travelling
in a blue 2003 Ford Falcon

XR6 sedan with registration
SOG-812. Police located the
vehicle in the car park at
Southbank
entertainment
complex in Melbourne at
about 1pm on Saturday January 16.
The vehicle remains in police possession as the inves-
tigation continues.
Missing Persons Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Craig
Rhodes said police were appealing for public help.
We are particularly keen
to speak to anyone who may
have seen any suspicious activity in the Lerderderg State
park since December 20 last

year, he said.
Someone out there knows
who is responsible for Caylebs death and we are appealing for them to come
forward and contact police.
Caylebs family deserves
some answers in relation to
this horrific tragedy.
Police have released images

of similar clothing Cayleb
was wearing at the time of
his disappearance. Anyone
with information is urged
to contact Crime Stoppers
on 1800 333 000 or submit a
confidential crime report to
www.crimestoppersvic.vic.

Cayleb was last seen

wearing Nike runners and
socks with images of
basketballer Kobe Bryant
on them, a black jacket and
khaki shorts similar to these
when he disappeared.

Free range yoke

By Jessica Howard
Controversy over what
qualifies an egg to be free
range has finally been laid
to rest, with state and federal
ministers signing off on a legally binding definition.
The new national standard
allows farmers to keep a
maximum of 10,000 hens per
hectare and defines the term
free range as birds having
meaningful and regular access to an outdoor range.
However, local free-range
egg farmer Vesna Luketic, whose Myrniong farm
homes just 750 birds per hectare, said the standard is not
good enough.
I am really disappointed;
this just isnt sustainable
farming. The egg industry
has simply pulled this number [of hens per hectare] out
of their hat, and it is based on
factory farmers lining their
pockets rather than actual
scientific evidence, she said.
The Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research
Organisation says there cant
be more than 1,500 birds per
hectare, so how can the government justify a number
like 10,000?
The factory farmers supposed quest to produce
affordable free range eggs

does not make a barn laid
setup true free range just
because they renamed it free
range.
Free range is free on the
open range, not free in a
barn or cage.
Ms Luketic, who owns Fam-
ily Homestead Free Range

Eggs, said the issue was not
just about stocking density,
but also animal welfare and
soil contamination.
Pre-deregulation of the
egg industry, scientists did
extensive studies on soil
and the amount of animals
you can have without polluting the soil was 750 birds
per hectare. If there are too
many hens per hectare, it
will result in the degradation of the soil and run offs
going into our waterways,
she said.
Factory farmers also de-
beak their birds in order

to maximise their stocking
density. It is necessary to
de-beak chickens in order to
prevent the chickens attacking each other. If they are
overstocked with a full beak,
they will fight, but with low
numbers there is no stress.
The federal government

announced the new standards late last month, with
farmers required to include
the bird density on package
labelling.
Ms Luketic said herself and
other members of the Free
Range Farmers Association a not-for-profit group
of commercial egg farmers were invited to talk to
Governments prior to the
decision being made.
I think that the politicians
were just going through the
motions of inviting true free
range farmers to the table for
discussions. I honestly think
that the decision to factory
farm free range was on the
cards from the onset, she
said.
I just feel that they had to
appear to be listening and
consulting with us. I am disappointed that they opted
to support an unsustainable farming method. 10,000
birds per hectare is not supported by anyone other than
the AECL (Australian Egg
Corporation Limited) and
the government ministers.
The national standards
will be introduced next
year, with conditions to be
made clear over the next 12
months.

Hard waste
not supported
By Kate Taylor
A hard waste collection service was rejected by Moorabool residents but transfer
station vouchers would be
welcome.
A survey into the viability
of an on-call, user-pays hard
waste collection service, saw
498 respondents across urban and rural areas indicate
that the majority would not
use such a service.
However, an option to provide transfer station vouchers within rates notices, at

a fee of $10, received strong
support across urban, rural
township and rural living
areas but little support in
rural/farming areas.
A report tabled at the April
6 council meeting noted that
a kerb-side set out service
would have safety issues,
but would benefit those with

mobility issues or no access
to a trailer.
The report also noted that

transfer station vouchers
would reduce revenue from
those currently paying for
using the facility, may increase the amount of waste
which the transfer stations
have to manage, and may
create a black market in
trading vouchers noting
that it would result in higher
administration costs as residents would have to produce
identification to ensure they
are using the vouchers assigned to them, and not to
somebody else.
The report recommended
that council not proceed
with any of the options
relating to a hard rubbish
disposal service, neither
kerb-side collection or an on-
call service, but it did recommend that council writes to

the Grampians Central West
Waste Management Group
in relation to a regional procurement approach for a potential future on-call service.
East Ward Councillor Dave
Edwards spoke passionately
about the need to trial transfer station vouchers being
provided in rates notices,
saying that council currently
spent up to $100,000 over
the past year on cleaning up
dumped rubbish.
This is an emerging and

growing problem as household budgets get tighter
and tighter. I supported a
trial of providing tip vouchers to households as part of
their rates in the hope that
this may reduce illegally
dumped rubbish, Cr Edwards said.

As a Councillor I get a
number of complaints about
illegally dumped rubbish
most of which appears to
be excessive household rubbish. If we dont do this what
are our options to address
this problem.
Cr Edwards argued that
issuing transfer station
vouchers could save money
cleaning up dumped rubbish in the future, with West
Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan questioning whether
the dumped rubbish is from
Moorabool, saying it could
be from elsewhere.
Councillors voted not to
proceed with either a hard
waste collection service or
a trial of transfer station
vouchers, but voted to engage on procuring a joint regional service in the future.

Letters to the Editor

Email: news@themooraboolnews.com.au
Dear Editor,
In January 2016 the Minister for Planning inserted a
provision in the planning
scheme without public notice
(VPP 52.32) that dispensed
with a requirement in the
Act (s.97E) that objections
to amendments to Wind
Farm permits be referred to
a Planning Panel, except in
limited circumstances.
Wind turbine neighbour
community group Lal Lal
Environment Protection Association Inc., based east of
Ballarat, obtained legal advice and wrote to the Minister requesting advice as to
the source of power to dispense with that requirement
of the Act. A substantive
response setting out such
source of power has not yet
been received.
Lal Lal EPA has commenced
proceedings in the Supreme
Court of Victoria seeking a
declaration that VPP 52.32 is
invalid as beyond power.
This action follows an application by permit holder
WestWind Energy for an
amendment that would allow turbines to increase in
size from 130m (40 storeys)
to 161m (50 storeys), while
removing only 4 of the 64
planned turbines near Lal
Lal and Elaine. The requested amendment would see
the turbine blade sweep area
increase by more than 70%.
Blade sweep area correlates
with sound produced.
John McMahon
President
Lal Lal EPA Inc.
Dear Editor
I write regarding the article
Community engagement a
priority (MN 12 April) and
the responses by West Wind
Energy.
We have been offered a
Participation Agreement
the same as the Kearns by
Moorabool Wind Farm Pty
Ltd. After seeking legal advice, we rejected the offer.
Does this mean we are still
considered a stakeholder of
the wind farm? I think not!
We would never consider being a party to or signing any
agreement that allows for,
or acknowledges a permit
holder will breach permit
conditions.
West Wind Energys interpretation of the Participation Agreement and their
intentions is a far cry from
the legal reality. I would
gladly arrange for a copy of
the agreement to be available for anyone wishing to
see for themselves.
As for the comments about
complaints being directed
to the wind farm itself the
Moorabool Shire Council is
the responsible authority for
this wind farm as stated on
the permit. Recent amendments did not change this
fact. There is no option for
an intermediary, regardless of whether West Wind
Energy would like it to be
otherwise.

Dear Editor,
Nearly 30 years I have lived
in Bacchus Marsh but in recent times, my frustration in
local matters is really rising.
Our local MPs constantly
have their pictures in the paper at presentations, openings or similar occasions.
But where are they when we
really need them.
I contacted Catherine King
in January seeking urgent
help. My letter went by registered mail, (and remains
unanswered - not even
acknowledged). Rude and
disappointing.
The ongoing saga of the
ram in Love Close is just too
ridiculous to believe. Who is
actually going to take some
action to help residents up
there?
Our new servo is making rapid progress, forging
ahead at a much faster rate
than most other things in the
Marsh and despite several
requests, we still have no
white paint along the curb
outlets by Darley Park - such
a safety issue.
And while new footpaths
were constructed near the
Commonwealth Bank, what
about the exposed soil area
that remains - it is ugly and
dangerous to pedestrians.
On a brighter note, the new
green space in Main Street,
on the old library site, will
be lovely, even if not entirely necessary and the long
awaited toilets at the Moon
Reserve are fantastic. Well
done.

Dear Editor,
Re Community Engagement a Priority (MN
12/4/2016)
which
gave
Mr Tobias Geiger, CEO of
WestWind Energy full right
of reply to Payoff Wont
Silence Couple (MN 5 Apr).
Participation
Agreements
require very close scrutiny.
The advice WestWind gave
to us and which we followed, was to seek legal advice before entering into an
agreement such as the one
presented to us.
By accepting $8000 per
annum, a neighbour relinquishes every statutory
and common law right he
or she possesses, including
the right to sue for noise
nuisance and is bound to
never, ever talk about the
agreement. In the event of a
neighbour suing, the entity
to be sued is the host landholder, not the wind farm
operator.
The more certainty that
the project will be constructed is a step in the right direction for WestWind but until
the building commences
no annual payments will
be made. The turbine hosts
have been waiting for a long
time now and the whole district has been put on hold for
at least seven years. A lot of
damage is done by not having a sunset clause for wind
farm permits. In our situation, at the ages of 74 and 76,
our dream of a peaceful retirement is shattered as our
forward planning ceased in
2009.
Mr Geigers negative answer to the question Can

you confirm that the agreement would have removed
the right to complain?, does
not make sense as it plainly
states in the Section 173
Agreement that the landowner acknowledges and accepts that noise limits, shadow flicker and blade glint
may exceed limits specified
in the conditions of the Permit. The landowner agrees
not to raise any of the above
issues with Council.
Mr Geiger has given nonhost neighbours permission
to speak publicly about their
experience of wind farms. To
whom should these conversations be directed?
In other areas of Australia
that is what people have
been doing for years but
because of Government
policy of deliberately and
unconscionably
ignoring
the distress of those who are
adversely affected by living
in close proximity to wind
turbines, the saga continues.
It is true that my husband
and I have been in respectful
but fruitless contact, in person and by letters for seven
years. In all that time Mr
Geiger has not given us any
confidence that our appeals
have been heard, let alone
acted upon to help us.
The recent appointment
of a Communication and
Stakeholder
Engagement
Manager is an action that
should have been taken long
before the host landholders
were signed in to contracts.
TOM
Environmental Opinion
It is very wrong for wind

farm developers to come
into a district, stealthily set
up deals with hosts then
announce the project to the
unsuspecting non-host landowners and try to convince
them that there will be no
adverse affects.
Angela Kearns
Mt Egerton
Dear Editor,
I would love you to know
that as a result of the newspaper article (MN 5 April
Exciting species discovered), I
have had three people contact me in regards to having phascogales on their
properties.
I went and picked up another deceased male from
a property in Glenmore
recently for genetic testing,
and they specifically said
that they only identified
what it was because of the
newspaper article. So thank
you so much, and I will
be posting about it on our
MCLG facebook page and
will be acknowledging and
tagging Moorabool News.
So thank you again, this
has been an amazing opportunity, and it just goes to
show how far a little bit of
knowledge can go; and how
important it is to have a local
paper.

Once upon a time

For this weeks opinion
piece I have three stories, or
perhaps fables, that I would
like to share with you.
Story one: ABC radio announcer Phillip Adams has
coined the word Eucalyptic
when referring to the incendiary impact of our dominant Australian tree. Scott
Jordan (Save the Tarkine)
when watching the devastating fires in the Tarkine
recently, as he waited to defend a property, said the fire
would be steadily moving
through the bush until it hit
a Tasmanian Blue gum plantation. It would then take
off and go much faster and
with far more ferocity. Eucalypts (I am indebted to Clive
Blazey from The Diggers Club
for this information) have
cunning strategies that include dropping bark and
twigs which are flammable
and they also provide see

through canopies so that
flames quickly escalate
through to the airy tree top
where seeds will be released
after the fire moves through
to begin germination as
soon as rains begin. This
means they will outcompete other trees by making
use of gaps in the canopy to
raise temperatures that suit
its predator strategy. These
trees drive bushfires. When
eucalypts replace native
rainforest, something that
is happening in the Tarkine
in places, they escalate temperatures that favour their
renewal. Plantation eucalypts are on the increase in
Tasmania.
Story two: in light of the

recent news about the higher
than normal incidences of
Parkinsons disease in the

Horsham area that could be
the result of pesticide spraying got me thinking about
the war on terror. What is
the real terror here in Australia? I would not like to
downplay ISIS and the terrible things that are happening around the planet
but I would like to offer the
following point. What could
be the biggest threat to our
safety and health in Australia today? Is it ISIS or the
chemicals we use? Maybe
we ought to be a little more
scared of the use of Roundup and other pesticides than
ISIS? Maybe the real threat
to our country is our own
reliance on these deadly
chemicals. Maybe ISIS is a
distraction and we are all
looking in the wrong direction. Maybe our government
ought to fight the war on

pesticides for us instead of
spending billions over in the
Middle East.
This thinking then led me
to thinking about what we
call soft drinks (an interesting term for drinking sugar).
When we see a Coke truck
entering our neighbourhood
do we run in terror? Hardly,
(I can hear the laughter from
here) yet the impact of this
fizzy drink and its cohorts
on our nation is quite frightening and has far, far more
impact on our wellbeing and
health than ISIS does. The
statistics are there for all to
see and the obesity and diabetic epidemics are becoming more and more significant and indeed frightening.
Maybe, in light of the huge
health bills of our country
and massive general health
issues among our popula-
tion, Coke could be well

considered a threat to our
country. Maybe we ought to
run from their trucks when
we see them as they deliver
all that illness to our neighbourhood. At the very least
we ought to tax them to encourage less people to buy
them.
Story three: This week I

read of yet another crime
against
environmental
protestors, this time in the
Philippines. At least three
protesters were killed, 116
were wounded, and 89
were reported missing after
policemen dispersed some
6000 farmers and tribal
people who blocked a major
highway in the province of
Cotabato on April 1.
The farmers were demanding 15,000 sacks of rice
and the immediate release

of calamity funds to address the ongoing drought
brought about by the El Nino
phenomenon.
Initial reports by the Commission on Human Rights
noted that the policemen
who fired their weapons at
protesting farmers violated
human rights and the UN
guidelines on the use of
force by law enforcement.
The farmers were already
on their knees when shot by
policemen, said Erlan Deluvio, commission regional
director.
Yet again the innocent suffer as they protest for our
planet. When will it end?
What is your opinion?

New wind farm

community
consult
By Kate Taylor
A 14-turbine wind farm at
Yaloak South, near Ballan, is
the subject of a new period
of community consultation.
The project is owned by
Pacific Hydro, but the company was recently sold to
State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), which then
announced a review of its
development pipeline currently underway.
PAUL
The review includes the

Yaloak South project, for
which the Planning Minister
approved plans in accordance with conditions on 16
September 2015, meaning
the project is in a position
where it can commence

Phase 1 of the development
that is initial pre-construction works.
Chief Executive Officer

Mike Fuge said the review
will breathe new life into
current projects.
In particular, Pacific Hydro is focusing on projects

in Central Victoria at sites
which have been on hold for
a number of years, Mr Fuge
said.
We will reassess viability from both company and
community
perspectives
with a view to breathing
new life into projects, including sites in Central Victoria.
A spokesperson said the

company expects to re-engage with the community at
Yaloak South.
We are re-igniting our
community consultation,
the spokesperson said.
However, the spokesperson could not specify what
the community engagement would involve, when it
would begin, or what effect it
may have, other than saying
that all Pacific Hydro projects have community funds
attached to them therefore
the consultation could involve discussion about how
any funds deriving from a
potential community fund
might be spent.

Tis the season to be pollie

It seems you dont need
to announce an election to
have one, well at least get a
campaign into full swing!
There is no doubt the third
year of any Federal Government brings out the best in
the pollie one-liners and the
worst in the political tragics.
Tis the season to be pollie, as they fa-la-la-la-la
around their electorates unwrapping expensive promises, quicker than they can
wrap them back up should
they actually get elected; its
Christmas everyday on the
electoral cycle.
The if we are elected
catchcry will dominate the
airways, as the sales reps
for democracy do their
rounds, closely followed by
the head nodders nodding
away in approval should a
television camera point in
the general direction.
In the safe seats it will be
like the re-runs of Gilligans
Islands on the idiot box, as
the promises of elections
past search for the failing
memories of the ever hopeful; its like signing the
invoice and never taking
delivery.
Across the district, lem-
onade stands adorned in

the club colours of political
parties will pop up at every
event, pedalling their wares
like the dice it and slice it
man at the home show.
The plastic wrapped cars
with giant images of the
potential political messiahs
will skate around our streets
like Disney on Ice, stopping
from time to time to prop up
the parking metre economy
where the big money lands;
as I said tis the season to be
pollie.
Beneath the colour of the
red and blue balloons of Ballarats safe seat democracy
lays the realities of complacency; a strong member
doesnt reap rewards, and
the stronger the member at
the polling booth the weaker
the investment in the seat.
Sadly, the harder a pollie works in a safe seat, the
harder they have to work to
maintain it; its only when a
seat starts to shake that the
coins of contempt pave the
infrastructural delinquency.
The political realities of getting into Government: its a
numbers game!
Sitting Member Catherine
King has proven to be a for-
midable force in the Ballarat

seat as she enters her sixth
campaign on a healthy margin. The ex-social worker
turned pollie has owned the
seat since 2001, and early
polling suggests she will retain the seat with a comfortable margin.
Politics is a tough game,
and King is regarded as one
of the toughest. The once
safe blue seat turned to red
back in 2001 when King
was virtually unopposed
for much of the campaign
when Olympic Gold medallist Russell Mark abruptly
pulled the pin on the Liberals leaving them scrambling
for a contender.
King has increased her
margin every year with the
exception of the last election when John Fitzgibbon
halved the margin during
the Rudd/Gillard years of
self-interest and Labor dysfunction. Some would consider this to be Kings finest
hour considering the shambolic performance of the last
Labor Government in terms
of self-control.
The Ballarat electorate has
always been a contest between red and blue with rising support from the Greens.
The lack of serious contenders from minor Parties and

the odd Independent have
seen the seat driven nationally as opposed to grassroots; its a hard nut to crack
if you are not red or blue!
The anomaly of an electorate where the focus is not
performance based on the
ground has seen Ballarat
and surrounding districts
short-changed in terms of
regional development with
Ballarat being the focus for
conservative risk reward
spending, where spending a
little should be enough!
In the perfect world, Federal elections should be a
tight contest focussed on
representing the varying demographics. Rural seats like
Ballarat are renowned for
their diversity; cosmopolitan
in the centre and agricultural on the outer, not to mention everything in between.
In a Red or Blue electorate, contesting for third and
fourth place is an expensive
business. The Greens national exposure keeps them
in the game, but we havent
seen a serious Independent
for a very long time; as I said
coming third or fourth is an
expensive business.
Whilst the preferences impact an outcome, if there

is a shortage of contenders
to push the envelope, its
about economics not the
principles of democratic
representation.
Putting the costs of running
a campaign into perspective,
Parties will spend around
$100,000 on a candidate, and
thats on top of the Party
machine that builds their
profile and runs their fundraisers and volunteers.
The other notable anomaly
is that a sitting member is
picking up a pay cheque
throughout a campaign,
whilst a contender has to factor in funding themselves. A
long election costs a lot of
money, and if you are only
there to tighten the contest,
its simply a donation to your
region.
In a two horse race the major
parties will get back a little
over $2.62 per primary vote;
if the field is short on runners and the primary vote is
strong, its almost a money
back proposition, and if you
are the short priced favourite
the Party makes a profit.
Putting aside the millions of
dollars it costs the taxpayer
to run an election, taxpayers are further paying for

sitting members to run their
campaigns on the taxpayers
time sheet, not to mention
flying senior politicians and
staff all over the country
to support the new Party
candidates.
The three-year term for Federal elections has become an
expensive farce; a new Government takes a year to bed
in, a year to govern, then
they are back on the sales
trail.
The instability is reflected
in our revolving door of
Prime Ministers, and minister re-shuffles; its costing an
average of a million dollars
a year to operate a Minister
in or out of government and
they spend most of their
time moving offices.
Whilst longer terms will
promote stability and save
the tax-payers a fortune, ultimately pollies need to start
work for their regions and
the people; running a country is about policy making
not Party politics!
The question shouldnt
be about if Im elected it
should be where were you

Buying property with friends

Enzo Raimondo CEO, REIV
For first homebuyers longing for their own piece of
real estate but struggling to
come up with a deposit or afford mortgage repayments,
there is a new alternative to
help you achieve that goal
buying with friends.
Friends are now pooling
their resources and buying
a house or apartment to live
in together or rent out as an
investment. Its an innovative plan that works well for
many people. The larger deposit increases the chances
of mortgage approval and
makes the repayments more
affordable. It also opens up
areas that may have been too
expensive for one person, offering more choice, and costs
- such as conveyancing - are
shared.
The co-owners are building
their equity instead of still
saving their deposit, falling
behind as property prices
rise. In future they can use
this equity to upgrade, separately or together.
Whats more, it can be a really positive experience. If
the pair or group hits it off
and agrees on the important
issues location, property
type and the method of buying, in particular this can
be both a good decision and
assist with financial management. Its a variation on
renting out rooms to cover a
mortgage.
But there are some risks
and, as with any property

purchase, research is essential. There are important
issues to be sorted out in
advance and separate legal
advice for each co-owner is
essential. The big what ifs
should be worked out, rather
than trying to tackle them if
they arise. Friends can fall
out, one owner may want to
sell when the others do not
what happens then?
An owner may not meet liabilities; perhaps even lose
his or her job, impacting on
the others finances. Jointly
signing a mortgage document can mean each is responsible for the others liabilities so a defaulting friend
can impose a burden on the
other owners. If you cant
meet that burden, the other
owners problems might impact on your credit rating.
Legal advice must cover the
ownership structure there
are several kinds what
happens in various scenarios. These include how to
determine the sale price if an
owner is selling out and how
issues such as maintenance
and insurance will be handled. Other issues arise if
not all owners are planning
to live in the property, or if
rooms are to be tenanted. So
a contract between the coowners is essential.
But with good friends and
good advice it can be a great
way to get a foothold on the
Australian property ladder.
A rare opportunity to purchase a well held family property with space, character
and history. The original cottage dates back to the 1800s and has been tastefully
restored, while the two storey double brick residence is attached for further living.
The rear paddocks are cleared and are perfect for grazing, while fantastic pastures
and the 3 dams provide ample water. With breathtaking views as far as Mt Macedon
and the You Yangs, this property offers everything. Call today for full details.

Storm brews at
Tabcorp Park
By Michael Howard
The Storm Insides reputation as a freak two-year-old
was only heightened when
the colt produced an outstanding win in the second
Australian Pacing Gold
semi-final at Tabcorp Park
Melton on Saturday night.
Emma Stewart and Clayton
Tonkins Smythes Creek stable claimed both semi-finals
with Our Little General and
The Storm Inside, and it was
the latter that again dropped
jaws having been tested
early before finding the lead
and still having plenty in the
tank to draw clear and win
by 9.5m.
Redbank Blaze ran second
from Atomic Red, Bettor Be
Gold and fifth-placed San
Domino, who all qualified
for Friday nights $322,000
final.
Keystone Del has moved
within $13,000 of joining an
elite group of trotting millionaire stake earners after
Saturdays E.B. Cochran
Trotters Cup at Melton.
The eight-year-old gelding

dominated a small but select
field of squaregaiters to rate
1:59.2 for the 2240-metre trip
well outside his own personal best and track record
of 1:56 flat.
Keystone Del trotted casually to the front early, crossing in-form polemarker
Illawong Helios with Sun
Of Anarchy slotting in three
back on the pegs.
The order didnt change for
the remainder of the journey
as Keystone Del reeled off
comfortable splits of 31.2,
30.9, 29.6 and 27.3.
Melton debutante Tim Williams gave A Piccadilly
Princess a brisk breather
and then revved her up for
a scintillating win in the
Nevele R Stud Victoria Oaks
at Tabcorp Park.
The dip from the breeze to
the box seat was described
as the winning move by
the connections of another
Mark Purdon-trained Group
1 triumph, having overrun
Emma Stewarts super threeyear-old filly Heavens Trend
in the straight.
It was a great performance, Williams, 26, said
of A Piccadilly Princess,
who recorded a fifth straight
victory and a seventh in 13
starts. Im privileged to
be able to sit behind these
horses with these colours on.
I cant thank Mark enough.
The filly by Bettors Delight
out of Hyde Park Royal had
to earn the win.
Flojos Gold flew out of the
gates and was then crossed
by Gavin Lang on Heavens
Trend when they reached
the back straight. As that
was happening up front,
down back Dancingwithsierra led A Piccadilly Princess three-wide, with the
latter settling in the breeze
outside Heavens Trend.
There
they
remained
through a 59.7 first half-mile
before Lang stretched out
on Heavens Trend in a 27.2
third quarter, with A Piccadilly Princess losing touch
approaching the final bend
and Williams dropping her
on to the tail of the leader.
