  • Village Bell"
    re-created copy 2 UNDERAGE CAFE The following letter was received by the "Village Bell". It was written by the kids from the Underage Cafe and signed by 68 people, including proprietors of neighbouring shops. An article in the "Pakenham Gazette" (Jan 23rd 1991) also addresses this issue. "This letter is in response to the untrue anonymous letter which was sent by the so-called concerned parent in Upper Beaconsfield concerning Jenny Elsby and the Underage Cafe. It is quite obvious this person who has the nerve to write such a slanderous letter does not know Jenny, her family, or how she runs the Underage Cafe. Being regular customers of the Cafe we feel that if people take note of the letter that was written to the Council and local newspapers it will damage Jenny's reputation and all the good that the cafe does. Jenny has helped many of us and is always prepared to give us moral support. "As for the lies about her supplying us with alcohol and being a bad mother, this person obviously gets their kicks out of involving themselves in other peoples private affairs and making up lies that could ruin reputations and could close down Underage Cafe. No matter what any-one says the Cafe has given kids of Upper Beaconsfield a place where we can enjoy each others company in an alcohol and drug free environment." "Village Bell" has heard no adverse comments about the Cafe since it opened. One comment made to us was that the Cafe was very well supervised and provided a much needed meeting place for teenagers.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.
