Bullying confirmedTHERE have been fi ve cases of proven bullying at Frankston Council in the past two years.

Information obtained by The Times under freedom of information laws re-veal there were 36 matters in two years in which the term bullying was used.

An FOI search by council found 54 internal documents from 1 January

2013 until 11 February 2015 contained the word bullying.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden has confi rmed fi ve of the complaints were either fully or partially substantiated.

Alleged bullying at Frankston Coun-cil was thrust into the public spotlight when councillors clashed at Januarys public council meeting over intimi-dating behaviour between councillors (Councillors feel bullied, The Times 26/1/15).

It then emerged that Cr Brian Cunial

had been questioned over allegations of bullying towards a council staff mem-ber in 2013 (Councillors silence on WorkCover probe, The Times 9/2/15).

Cr Cunial did not return several calls from The Times in February but subse-quently released a statement stating I have never been found guilty of bully-ing anyone.

In his statement, Cr Cunial revealed another councillor and I were inter-viewed by an insurance investigator in relation to a WorkCover claim by

a council employee for anxiety and stress. The Times has contacted all councillors to ask whether they were the second councillor interviewed as part of the WorkCover investigation in-volving Cr Cunial but none have come forward.

Councils freedom of information of-fi cer last month denied access to any of the 54 documents referring to bully-ing due to their confi dential nature and the rights of individuals referred to in the documents and the protections

which exist in the FOI Act for those people.

I have made my decision on the ba-sis that it protects both the complain-ants and respondents in each of these matters, the offi cer stated in a letter to The Times.

Council said it is unable to confi rm whether the WorkCover probe in 2013 is one of the fi ve substantiated cases of bullying for this reason.

Chaotic scene: Emergency services crews at the scene of Fridays crash on Frankston-Dandenong Rd. Picture: Gary Sissons

A MAN speeding along Frankston-Dandenong Rd at 30kph over the limit crashed into the rear of a car driven by an elderly man, sending both vehicles careering into power poles, Frankston police say.

Luckily, no one was killed in the collision at 9.40am, Fri-day, in which the pole hit by the young driver, in a Commo-dore, was knocked out of the ground.

Immediately after the collision, the 20-year-old said by police to be doing 110kph in an 80kph zone allegedly fl ed the scene assisted by two friends who arrived minutes after-wards. His car was written off and left upside down on the centre median strip astride the crumpled pole.

Detective Senior Constable Ryan Collins said the Frankston man was driving south near Klauer St when he clipped the rear of the other car as it changed lanes. This caused both to run into different poles one much harder than the other. Traffi c was brought to a standstill.

Its believed the police helicopter was called in to search

for the missing driver, before police at the scene spoke to, and then arrested, two men when they returned to the dam-aged car. They were charged with making false reports to police.

Frankston-Dandenong Rd was blocked off while police investigated, and traffi c diverted along the service road. The wrecked cars airbag was deployed.

When police arrested the young man at his house he was charged with dangerous driving, speeding, and leaving the scene of an accident. Other charges may be pending, police said.

The elderly driver and his wife, also of Frankston, were believed not seriously injured in the accident, but were tak-en away by ambulance.

The young driver was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court on Wednesday. The other two have been released on bail to appear at a date to be fi xed.

SIMMERING tensions between Frankston Council and the Labor state government have boiled over mere months after last Novembers state election.

Simmering tensions over major pro-jects such as the Frankston station pre-cinct redevelopment has seen council launch an attack on the state govern-ment.

The mayor Cr Sandra Mayer re-leased a statement last Friday (29 May) blasting the Andrews govern-ment over its lack of commitment to a container port at Hastings.

After six months under Labor, the south-east Melbourne region is going backwards with major road, rail and now freight projects being scrapped, and the Mornington Peninsula envi-ronment and tourism industry again under threat from dredging, the may-or said in the statement.

If the state government is canning the Port of Hastings expansion we ex-pect an announcement of a serious in-jection of funds from the Jobs and In-vestment Fund and the Regional Jobs Fund into the south-east Melbourne region, or else our residents will have every right to feel forgotten about after helping deliver Labor into power.

The government tabled a Port of Melbourne Lease Transaction Bill last week in Parliament, which will offer a 50-year lease to any buyer of the Port of Melbourne.

The government hopes to privatise the port and plough the funds raised into funding its ambitious public


Council and govt clash over port Fair go for Frankston

Happy days: Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, left, and Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer, right, with Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan at Frankston train station earlier this year. Picture: Gary Sissons

transport improvements including the removal of 11 level crossings along the Frankston rail line.

A 50-year lease has thrown doubt on Labors commitment to a second port at either Hastings or Geelongs Bay West.

Liberal Opposition Leader Matthew Guy says a refusal to develop a second port for the next 50 years is highly ir-responsible, anti-competitive and will cost Victoria jobs.

What Daniel Andrews is effectively doing is providing a leaseholder with a 50 year monopoly. That will only harm Victorias development, Mr Guy said.

Frankston councillors unanimously backed a public campaign by council

to highlight that the council will not accept the Bay West port as a viable option and the possible environmental and economic impacts to the Frankston City Council from signifi cant and un-necessary dredging of the bay.

Cr Mayer said a BayWest option or Port of Melbourne expansion will require further devastating dredging at the Port Phillip Heads.

Around 40 per cent of cargo ends up in Melbournes south-east, so the Port of Hastings expansion makes sense, would provide a much-needed eco-nomic boost to our region and help us tackle the serious issue of unemploy-ment, which is only getting worse.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke

hit back at council over its criticism of Labors policy on the Port of Hastings.

Where is a copy of the business plan that the council is endorsing for Western Port? Certainly Ive never seen one, he said.

If they want an alternative plan to be considered, they need to actually have one. Id love to be able to work with Frankston Council but it appears more and more that they cant even work with each other.

Council is also at loggerheads with the state government over the $50 mil-lion redevelopment of the Frankston station precinct and an upgrade of the Western Port Highway including a full interchange at Ballarto Rd.

Labors Minister for Roads Luke Donnellan joined Jude Perera and [now Carrum MP] Sonya Kilkenny at the Ballarto Rd intersection in July 2014 and said we will see traffi c cha-os through Cranbourne and Frankston without a full interchange, Cr Mayer said.

Now the state government has handballed the issue to a panel hear-ing, effectively opening the door for traffi c chaos not just in Cranbourne and Frankston, but particularly for local communities in Carrum Downs and Skye.

Council has also noted just $13 million was allocated towards the Frankston train station revamp in the Andrews governments fi rst state budget announced last month.

Mr Edbrooke says the $50 million project will be fully funded.See Port lease plan pushes Hast-ings back 50 years for more, Page 10.

THE possibility of a second season of the SBS TV series Struggle Street be-ing fi lmed in Frankston has galvanised councillors to protest to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Com-mission.

At last weeks council meeting councillors unanimously backed a proposal by Cr Glenn Aitken to ask the HREOC and the Australian Press Council to investigate the negative impact of sensationalist media cover-age which stigmatises entire commu-nities, such as the recent unacceptable branding of the Mt Druitt community in NSW and repeated attacks upon the reputation of Frankston.

Online bookmaker Sportsbet named Frankston as the joint favourite suburb to be the subject of controversial SBS documentary TV series Struggle Street (Bookie mean street call, The Times 11/5/15).

Cr Aitken said it is not a fair go and in fact entirely un-Australian to target or witch hunt more vulnerable sectors of any community and then by impli-cation, portraying a tainted representa-tion of an entire postcode or municipal area, which in turn, artifi cially slants the greater public perception of a place or a people.

Council will write to the HREOC and the Press Council to investigate and consider legislation to stop dam-aging stereotyping of communities.

I believe in free speech but I dont think anyone has got the right to undermine and besmirch a whole community because they pick out a few people and create a laughing stock, Cr Aitken said.

FUNDING for State Emergency Service units will not be pared back in Frankston if the state governments planned rate capping policy comes into force next fi nancial year.

Some Victorian councils, such as Cardinia Shire Council, have reportedly threatened to cut SES funding if Labor goes ahead with its plan to limit future rate rises to infl ation costs.

When asked by The Times, Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said council will continue to sup-port the Frankston SES unit.

Councils funding for the Frankston SES was approximately $46,500 in 2014-15 through the community grants program, and the same amount is recommended in the draft 2015-16 budget.

This funding helps with building insurance premiums, vehicle maintenance and operational costs, all of which assist the SES in providing a vital service to our community.

Victorian councils fear some frontline services may have to be slashed when the Andrews gov-ernments rate capping policy is introduced in the 2016-17 fi nancial year.

Frankston Council has made its submission to an Essential Services Commission review of the state governments proposed rate capping plan, a pre-election pledge by Labor.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden wrote a letter to the ESC last month making councils submis-sion but noted tight timelines and less than one months consultation does got give Frankston City Council the time to fully consider all issues related to rate capping.

Councils submission argues the level of com-munity service will deteriorate and infrastruc-ture will be run down.

The submission also claims CPI [consumer price index] rise is not an appropriate index of council costs since staff enterprise bargaining agreements costs, for example, are often higher.

The latest EBA rise for council staff was 3.25 per cent. Mr Hovenden received a near 10 per cent hike to his remuneration in April (Council pay up as rates rise, The Times 16/4/15).

Salary costs represent 50 per cent of councils expenditure, the CEO noted.

Cost shifting from federal and state govern-ments to councils the funding of services such li-braries, home care, school crossing supervision, foreshore management and maternal and child health and pre-school service is also a factor not considered by the state government, according to Frankston Council.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins told Parliament last Thursday (28 May) that there have been 252 submissions to the ESC regarding the local government rate capping plan.

Continued from Page 1When asked for further details about the 54

documents at council referring to bullying, council CEO Dennis Hovenden supplied a letter giving some further information.

At Frankston City Council, for the period from 1 January 2013 to 11 February 2015, there were only fi ve (5) allegations of bullying which were either fully or partially substantiated, the CEO stated.

Appropriate action has been taken to mini-mise the possibility of bullying and to ensure that employees are aware of their rights if they consider that they may have been bullied by any person.

Mr Hovenden said council takes its statutory obligations to provide a safe and healthy work-place very seriously.

Allegations and complaints of bullying are dealt with quickly and confi dentially.

Frankston Council has more than 1000 em-ployees working at more than 30 work locations, the CEO said.

Workplace bullying under WorkSafe regula-tions is defi ned as repeated and unreasonable behaviour directed towards a worker or group of

workers that creates a risk to health and safety.Frankston Councils freedom of information

offi cer noted: In common usage however, the term bullying is often misused to describe a wide variety of different contexts. Consequently many of the discovered documents relate to mat-ters which would not meet WorkSafe Victorias defi nition. Matters referred to in the discovered documents range from reporting colleagues for failing to greet another in the morning, through to more substantial allegations.

After Januarys council meeting when com-ments about bullying allegations between coun-cillors were publicly aired, the mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said there had been no offi cial complaints of bullying by councillors.

Cr Mayer later said councillors have ex-pressed concerns around behaviour.

I took their concerns seriously and held dis-cussions with each, subsequently determining that there was no basis for a formal offi cial com-plaint.

It is not known if any complaints by council-lors about fellow councillors are included the fi ve proven or partially proven cases of bullying in the past two years.

Bullying cases at council

COMMENTBy Neil Walker IT has taken several months for The Times to obtain further proof that there have indeed been proven cases of bullying at Frankston Council in the recent past.

Information obtained under freedom of infor-mation laws reveals there were 36 complaints by council staff or councillors in the past two years with fi ve of the matters were either fully or par-tially substantiated.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden pointed out only fi ve (5) allegations of bullying were proven in full or in part.

The use of the word only is unfortunate. One of the worst aspects of bullying in the workplace or elsewhere for that matter is the feeling of isolation victims can feel.

The fi ve victims of bullying at Frankston Coun-cil must be reassured their mistreatment at work is not only a number.

The Times investigation into bullying allegations at council was sparked by an extraordinary public council meeting in January during which council-lors shouted at each other across the council cham-ber about bullying allegations.

The Times discovered two councillors Cr Brian Cunial and one other were questioned in relation to a WorkCover claim for anxiety and stress due to bullying.

It is still unclear whether this investigation is one of the fi ve confi rmed cases of bullying. Frankly, it is not good enough if this is the case.

There seems to be a culture of sweeping it all under the carpet at council as people who spoke to The Times on condition of anonymity put it coupled with a lack of consequences for individu-als involved in the apparent bullying of work col-leagues.

Rather than turn a blind eye, like so many appear to have done in cases of bullying at council, The

Times has tried to shine some light on the subject.Disappointingly, when Local Government Min-

ister Natalie Hutchins was approached last week for comment about the proven cases of bullying at Frankston Council a bland statement from an un-named spokesperson was provided.

That statement from The Unknown Spokesper-son for what its worth not much read: It is important that all employers - councils included - have policies in place to deal with workplace bul-lying. Councils need to take their responsibilities to their staff and their community seriously.

When cases of bullying emerged at Geelong Council earlier this year Ms Hutchins told that council it had to act.

The Geelong Advertiser reported the Local Gov-ernment Minister ordered Geelong Council to appoint an accredited and independent mediator, review their code of conduct and report back to her.

Could the reluctance of Ms Hutchins to become embroiled in Frankston Councils situation be linked to the Labor state governments own recent problems with bullying allegations?

Small Business Minister Adem Somyurek was stood down last week pending an investigation into claims he denies that he intimidated and bul-lied staff.

It also emerged last week that former Labor can-didate for Frankston Helen Constas has been hired as an electorate offi cer in Noble Park for Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings.

Ms Constas stood down as a Labor candidate in June last year when it was revealed she reached a confi dential out-of-court settlement with a former personal assistant who accused her of bullying.

At the time, now Premier Daniel Andrews was disappointed the settlement had not been declared during the candidate pre-selection process.

A lack of transparency, in other words. It was not good enough then. It is not good enough now.

Councils disregard for transparency

Frustrated: Former mayor Kris Bolam is concerned at a lack of transparency at council.

A FORMER mayor of Frankston has hit out at a lack of transparency at council. Kris Bolam says Frankston Councils disregard for enhancing transparency is frustrating.

Mr Bolam slammed a council attempt to effec-tively censor councillors after a draft amended media policy sought to make it mandatory for councillors to inform mayor Cr Sandra Mayer of any comments that they have made or are in-tending to make to the media (Councillors free speech threatened, The Times 18/5/15).

The Times understands several councillors are concerned about the move to try to control what they say and the draft policy has been deferred for further debate.

It is a preposterous idea that democratically elected councillors be wilfully prevented from making comments to the free media on public matters, Mr Bolam said.

It is not only against freedom of expression but it also serves to oppose the very democratic principles that underpin the legitimacy of the council chamber.

A council offi cers report tabled at Marchs council meeting alongside the proposed media policy stated unclear procedures for media en-quiries has recently resulted in several instances of incorrect, unverifi ed or potentially damaging information being provided to the media.

The mayor and council CEO Dennis Hovenden have declined to provide any examples of incor-rect information or retractions.

In a statement provided earlier this month, Mr Hovenden said: It is not appropriate to discuss these in the media, but we hope that the new me-dia policy helps to reduce these situations from occurring.

Councillors should tell the mayor about con-versations with the media as a courtesy, ac-cording to Mr Bolam, but he said any move to make this mandatory is an attack on free speech.

We dont have an executive-style mayoral system in Australia. Therefore the command

and control approach is frankly unnecessary, he said.

The former mayor said he left council with the belief the city was heading in the right direction but he has become increasingly frustrated by an apparent lack of transparency at council since then.

Mr Bolam decided not to renominate in 2012 for re-election as a North-West Ward councillor before the last council election. He was voted in as mayor by his councillor colleagues for the year in 2011.

He noted one of the fi rst acts of councillors on the current council after the 2012 election was to rescind a plan approved by councillors on the previous council to hold a public referendum for Frankston residents to have a say if a municipal-ity project costs more than $200 million.

There is seemingly a reliable reluctance by this council to undertake institutional reform in-sofar as good governance measures and this con-cerns me, Mr Bolam said.

munity. Entrants have blown us away with their skill and ability to capture Frankstons beauty and lifestyle.

THE Opposition is accusing the state government of lying over its claim to be searching for the best site for Victo-rias second container port.

The Labor government has all but backed away from choosing Western Port and is overseeing the slow demise of the Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA).

And now, with its intention of leas-ing the Port of Melbourne for 50 years with a guarantee of compensation if there is competition from another ma-jor port, the government appears to have abandoned its plan for another container port.

The greatly diminished PoHDA says it is investigating investment opportu-nities for Hastings to become a bulk port, but imports of petroleum prod-ucts and exports of LNG have dropped markedly in the past two decades.

Labor lied to both the Western Port and Geelong communities prior to last year's state election when it assured them both it would take genuine expert advice [from Infrastructure Victoria] on where Victoria's next port and the thousands and thousands of jobs that would be created with it, should be located, Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess said last week.

Labor has told lie after lie in order to further its selfi sh political objec-tives.

In a complete contradiction of eve-rything it has had to say over the last decade about our state's desperate need for a second container port, Labor did what it always does when private en-terprise turns up with a bag of money - it got giddy and fell over.

Instead of the thousands of jobs that would be created and tens of thousands of Victorian jobs that would be pro-tected through maintaining our state's logistics' industry national leadership, Labor wants to trade our state's future away for a short term fi nancial fi x.

The previous Coalition government, of which Mr Burgess was a member, had promised the PoDHA $110 mil-lion of four years to plan for a port at Hastings.

The authority is estimated to have al-ready spent $30 million, but the money has all but dried up with the passing of Labors fi rst budget.

Mornington MP David Morris told The Times that dredging Port Phillip for large ships in 20, 30 or 40 years would make the 2008 channel deepen-ing project look very small scale.

On Thursday he told Parliament ships were growing beyond the ca-pacity of Port Phillip Heads.

Port lease plan pushes Hastings back 50 yearsKeith [email protected]

He said the previous Labor govern-ment had wasted so much time that Hastings, could not be developed to meet the demands of international shipping and the only action left was to deepen the Port Phillip Heads.

Here we are again, only a decade on, and we have a new Labor govern-ment confi dently expecting that the Heads will be able to sustain our trade for 50 years, Mr Morris said.

There can only be two outcomes from this policy decision: either Mel-bourne will surrender its role in trade to the rest of Australia or Port Phil-lip Heads will be deepened again and again. Any way you look at it, it is a

bad decision.Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer

sees the decision to not develop a con-tainer port at Hastings as a further eco-nomic blow to the region.

After six months under Labor the south-east Melbourne region is going backwards, with major road, rail and now freight projects being scrapped, and the peninsula environment and tourism industry again under threat from dredging, Cr Mayer said.

In the lead up to last Novembers state election the then mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was touting Frankston as being ideally situated as the proposed ports commercial hub.

Much has changed in the following six months and Cr Mayer is now call-ing on the government to make a se-rious injection of funds from the Jobs and Investment Fund and the Regional Jobs Fund into the south-east Mel-bourne region, or else our residents will have every right to feel forgotten about after helping deliver Labor into power.

Opposition leader Matthew Guy said the Liberal National Coalition sup-ports leasing of the Port of Melbourne in conjunction with the development of a second container port for Victo-ria.

Mr Guys statement was released

along with quotes from present minis-ters and the Premier Daniel Andrews when they too backed Hastings or Bay West, near Geelong in Port Phillip, for a container port.

Thats why it makes no sense that Daniel Andrews now says Victoria wont need a second container port for at least 50 years, Mr Guy stated. To prohibit the development of a second container port for the next 50 years is highly irresponsible, anti-competitive and will cost Victoria jobs.

What Daniel Andrews is effectively doing is providing a leaseholder with a 50 year monopoly.

Boom times: Less than one year ago the expanding team of staff at the Port of Hastings Development Authority was celebrating the leasing of new offi ces in High St, Hastings. They were joined by Hastings MP Neale Burgess (who unveiled a plaque inside the offi ces), standing third from right with the authoritys CEO Mike Lean. This week staff numbers are down to 14 and most of the offi ce space will go unused.Picture: Gary Sissons

A FEMALE driver in her mid-30s was lucky to escape serious injury when her car hit an embank-ment and fl ipped onto its roof on Nepean Hwy, near Mt Eliza Way, on Thursday night.

The Mornington woman, in a Kia Rio sedan, was trapped upside down for about 10 minutes and appeared to be in a state of shock.

Leading Senior Constable Ron Trainer, of Mornington police, and an off-duty offi cer from Frankston, arrived soon after and climbed into the car to unhook the womans seatbelt. She was taken to Frankston hospital by ambulance but dis-charged herself on Friday morning.

A tree branch went through the cars side win-dow but, if it had gone through the windscreen, the outcome may have been much worse, Lead-

ing Senior Constable Trainer said. We are trying to determine the circumstances

of the accident. She appears to have lost control before running into the embankment and rolling over; the cars speed is also being looked at.

He said people at the crash scene when he ar-rived appeared reluctant to approach the badly damaged car possibly fearing the worst. He de-scribed the roads as wet.

Frankston SES, CFA and ambulance crews also attended the crash at 10.15pm and the road was closed north bound for more than an hour.

Leading Senior Constable Trainer wants wit-nesses to the accident to contact him at Morning-ton police on 5970 4900.

A WOMAN died following a crash involving three cars in Pearcedale on Friday 29 May.

The collision happened at the intersection of Robinsons Road and the Western Port Highway just after 5pm.

Police believe the 19-year-old Mt Eliza woman was travelling west on Robinsons Road when she entered the intersection and collided with a north bound Ford Ranger utility.

The utility then collided with another vehicle

that was in the intersection, attempting to turn left, onto the highway.

The woman, who was the sole occupant in the car, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital but died on arrival.

Four men in the utility and a mother and her 9-month-old baby in the third car were not injured.

Police will now prepare a report for the Coro-ner.

IT has taken seven months but Carrum MP Sonya Kilken-nys electorate offi ce should be open for business in July.

The Labor MP, who narrowly won the seat of Carrum from former Liberal MP Donna Bauer at last Novembers state election, has been fi elding constituents questions at regular meetings around the electorate but is set to call 622 Nepean Hwy, Carrum home.

A spokeswoman for Ms Kilkenny said Parliamentary offi cials had leased the offi ce space on behalf of Ms Kilk-enny following a search for suitable digs.

MPs often move into the premises of their predecessor

but this did not happen this time around.Post the election, due to the redistribution of the

boundaries a new offi ce was required for the Carrum elec-torate, the spokeswoman said.

The new offi ce will be open in mid-July.Ms Kilkenny coincidentally attended the offi cial open-

ing of another Labor MPs offi ce last week. Federal Member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus welcomed Op-

position Leader Bill Shorten to Mordialloc for the event.Neil Walker

POLICE are searching for a man who allegedly stole a puppy from a pet shop in Carrum Downs in April.

Investigators have been told the man entered the store on Frankston-Dandenong Rd at 4.30pm on Tues-day 14 April.

He waited for employees to be distracted and then allegedly used a screwdriver to pry the lock and gain access to the puppys pen.

The man then hid the puppy a tan-and-white cavoodle - under his jacket and left the store. The now 20-week-old puppy is valued at $2000.

Police are investigating the inci-dent and have released a CCTV im-age of a man they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

He is described as being Cauca-sian, in his late 20s-early 30s, with a thin build, pale skin and brown hair tied up in a ponytail.

He was wearing a black-coloured hooded jacket with black and red-coloured board shorts.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confi den-tial crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
