Max's Restaurant was the first winery restaurant on the Mornington Peninsula and was started by owner and chef, Max Paganoni in 1994. The views are spectacular. From the dining room, you look out over the vines to Western Port and across to Seal Rock. Max has always been passionate about using and promoting local produce and he has now very happily brought in two equally enthusiastic chefs, Michael Demagistris and Ryan James to work with him at Max's. Michael has worked at top-tier venues, including Jacques Reymond in Melbourne, Alinea and The Publican in Chicago, and Noma in Copenhagen. In 2013, he became a household name as a top four finalist on MasterChef Australia: The Professionals. Over the years, Demagistris has held executive chef roles at places like Sorrento Golf Club and Buckley's Chance and owned his own restaurant East Bar and Dining in Mount Martha. Most recently, he has worked at Polperro Winery and was executive chef with Searoad Ferries and Tarra. Best friend, Ryan considers Michael a mentor, having met him at East Bar and Dining before going on to some of the same venues. These two are absolutely the A team. They hold the same values for cooking and for connection with the community and they are both ecstatic to be cooking at Max's Restaurant. They've worked with farmer and chef, Karl Breese to harvest vegetables they are excited about and they are putting up a degustation menu full of imaginative and delicious twists and turns. I had such a lovely chat with Michael and Ryan and then was treated to some of the snacks and desserts they had told me about. I can't wait to go back to the lush and verdant setting that is Max's Restaurant to share it all with friends.

Dave and Joey spill the beans on catching snapper in Westernport.

 This morning on City Limits we hear from the rally held from two of the speakers who attended: Save Westernport Vice-President Jane Carnegie, and No More Gas campaigner with FOE Freja Leonard. They update us on the remarkable turnout of supporters who attended Victorian Parliament steps in the pouring rain, including some 20 Westernport locals who travelled to Melbourne in the wee hours. They denounce the pipe dream of a project, from billions of tonnes of new emissions for Victoria and the flimsy CCS technology underpinning the scheme, to threats for valuable RAMSAR-listed wetland at the site and the dangers of Hydrogen already experienced in the pilot shipment.  You can sign the Parliamentary petition calling for the Vic govt to dump Hydrogen from Coal for Japan by visiting: https://bit.ly/No2HESC Please add your signature and share!  Later, we speak with an attendee of the recent ALP national conference, Jack Howard from Labor against War, a grassroots network of ALP members opposed to Australia being led into another US-led war. He gives an analysis of why the AUKUS deal was passed despite many dissenting voices within the party, and gives a detailed explanation of the debate at the conference, the factions and individuals involved, and the Orwellian doublespeak pervading the mainstream media and government discourse on the issue of 'defence'. To access all previous podcasts and any extra links in our podcast descriptions, visit 3cr.org.au/citylimits    

Saving Westernport Bay: A community takes on AGL On October 17th 2017 AGL announced it would install a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) in Westernport Bay on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. We re-visit the story of the Save Westernport Campaign, broadcast on 3CR in June 2021, to look at what citizens are up against when they take on large corporations to protect the environment and the planet.  We hear fromAunty Dyan Summers, Bunurong Elder, Bunurong Land Council Save Westernport Campaign committee members (2017-2021)Candy Van Rood, PresidentJane Carnegie, Vice PresidentJulia Stockigt, Sect'y  Chris Atmore: Environmental LawyerSacha Guggenheimer: Marine scientistBelinda Lewis: Anthropologist Music:  Marty Williams Experiment Photo courtesy Julia Stockigt Earth Matters Episode #1415Produced by Judith Peppard

 We begin the show this week interviewing Julia Stockigt from Save Westernport, about the plan to produce brown-coal hydrogen from the Latrobe Valley for export through Westernport Bay. What does it mean for safety and ecology in Victoria, and who the key state and federal ministers are in approving the needless development? Notably, she calls for clarification on the recent announcement that Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny is responsible for clean energy projects... is brown coal hydrogen clean, and does this change the ability of Shire Councils to push back?  Next up we speak with Dave Sweeney, anti-nuclear campaigner with the Australian Conservation Foundation, about all things nuclear, including the Oppenheimer film release around the 78th Anniversary of the US bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the AUKUS debate at the recent ALP national conference, Japan's imminent release of radioactive Fukushima water into the Pacific, and the good news of the win for Barngarla traditional owners in Federal Court - no nuclear waste dump in Kimba! Join Save Westernport, Friends of the Earth, and Greens MP Ellen Sandell, rallying to oppose the project on Wednesday 30th August at 8:30am on the steps of Victorian Parliament To access all previous podcasts and any extra links in our podcast descriptions, visit 3cr.org.au/citylimits

Dr Richard Denniss, chief economist at The Australia Institute joins Amy for the final instalment of Uncommon Sense's federal election policy series – this time, on the economy. Richard debunks all the election econobabble on wages growth, productivity, inflation, and much more. He explains and evaluates the economic policies of the major and minor parties at this federal election, including on housing affordability, superannuation, taxation, economic management, and wages growth. Who's talking a load of codswallop and who is on the money? Award-winning author and academic Dr Elizabeth Tynan speaks about her new book, The Secret of Emu Field: Britain's forgotten atomic tests in Australia. Elizabeth tells us what happened at Emu Field, South Australia in October 1953. She talks of a terrifying black mist that spread across the land after the first atomic bomb detonation called Totem I. It brought death and sickness to Aboriginal people in its path. Elizabeth describes some of the secrecy that still exists today around the testing activities. She tells us about her visit to Emu Field and the consequences of the testing. Elizabeth is associate professor in the Graduate Research School at James Cook University, Townsville. Catherine Watson, member of the Save Western Port Woodlands group, dials in to discuss the last strip of significant woodland left in Bass Coast Shire – a rare coastal forest near Lang Lang and Grantville, which is under threat from a surge in sand mining. After a long fought battle, Victoria's Planning Minister Richard Wynne has just made the controversial decision to approve a significant expansion of the Grantville sand mine despite more than 70 local objections. Catherine explains why the Western Port Woodlands is so ecologically special and why it deserves our urgent protection. Visit their website at www.savewesternportwoodlands.org

Submissions closed on August 26th and at least 10,000 were received. Victor Komarovsky explains why the response has been overwhelmingly negative and the reasons the community, councils and scientsts are concerned. Can the moon be a person?Alice Gorman (@drspacejunk) is an Associate Professor in Archeology and Space Studies at Flinders University. She's a leader in the field of space archeology and her research focuses on the archeology and heritage of space exploration, including space junk, planetary landing sites and off-earth mining.We talk about how she became involved in space archeology, the richness and magic of the moon's environment and the importance of valuing it; i.e. not seeing the moon as just one more mining opportunity.

This week on City Limits, Kevin and Karina invite Julia Stockigt, secretary of Save Westernport Inc, to discuss their fight against AGL's proposal to import and process gas at Crib Point, and to construct gas pipeline which means probable destruction for life and community in many parts of Victoria. Victorians have set a record for number of submissions in an environmental assessment process, and it is clear, with vocal opposition from many groups and councils including the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, that this dirty gas terminal needs to go. There is a long way to go, however, with state and federal leaders having the final say, and speculation that unfavourable, unsustainable and unecessary projects are being pushed through 'under the cover of COVID'.Here is a list of the company's convictions and fines, up until January 2020. You can access Save Westernport's submission against AGL's environmental effects statement here.Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recently voted unanimously to reject the AGL proposal, stating: The EES “is a weak analysis and gives us no confidence that the environmental impacts of this project can be acceptably managed",that AGL has even "failed to make a strong case for the need to import gas"and "AGL’s Import Jetty and Pipeline Project poses an unacceptable risk to the environment for unproven economic and resource gains".The Council is encouraging everyone to write to the Minister/s to tell them why AGL does NOT belong in Westernport.For the Ministers’ email addresses and suggestions for what to write, see box 3 ‘Write to Local State and Federal MP's’ here.Quotes from councillors:“It is time that the State Government finally listened to their community and scrapped this project before serious damage is done to Western Port Bay, tourism, the fishing industry and people living and working at Crib Point.""All of our State Government Members of Parliament should make their position clear. Will they support their local community and now work to prevent their Government’s approval?”The next step in the fight to STOP AGL in Westernport will be the panel hearings beginning on the 12th October.Later, Adjunct Associate Professor Paddy Moriarty joins the discussion with a background on the 'cleanliness' of natural gas as a power source, methane and carbon dioxide, and Australia's energy usage levels. Access Dr. Moriarty's published work from the past 45 years here and here.  

This week is energy week on City Limits!We speak with activist Ronny Kareni about the disastrous impact of the mining industry in West Papua (and Australia's involvement), the ongoing struggle of indigenous communities to protect land and people from imperialist destruction, and the BLM movement in Indonesia.Later we invite Julia Stockigt, secretary of Save Westernport Inc, to discuss the social, safety, and environmental impacts of AGL's proposal to import and process gas, and to construct a 60 km gas pipeline which means probable destruction for their Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance.  The Public Comments period for the EES (Environmental Effects Statement) on AGL’s proposal on the Mornington Peninsula will run until August 26 2020.Here is an article on the EES by Save Westernport Inc.If you want to say NO to AGL's gas plant, here is a video on how to access and comment on AGL's EES (You can make a submission about the AGL Crib Point proposal using the online form on the EngageVic website here).Here is a copy of the EES from AGL, and here is a list of the company's convictions and fines, up until January 2020.  

Chatting about all things Western Port.

Despite their close proximity, Westernport and Port Phillip Bays are distinctly different in their characteristics, yet both offer excellent, if seasonal, snapper fishing.

About 25-people gathered on the footpath outside the Melbourne head office of the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for a Friends of the Earth protest to raise awareness about the group's dislike for new project in the Latrobe Valley aimed at creating hydrogen from coal.But it was not just about demonstrating the concerns the group has for the project, rather the protest was also about creating an awareness among the public through social media and so the protest was an wonderful picture opportunity.Speakers included an organizer from Friends of the Earth, Cam Walker, and a spokesperson from the Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council, along reading of two letters from people unable to attend the protest, but who were concerned about the impact the project, primarily the carbon capture and storage of the resultant carbon dioxide in old gas and oil wells just off the coast of Victoria's iconic 90 Mile Beach.

Weekly fishing report for August 2nd 2018 covering Western Port, Port Phillip Bay, Victoria and beyond.

Kade Mills returns to report back on last week's inaugural Victorian Sea Slug Census, with some amazing early indications of great nudibranch diversity and abundance in Port Phillip and Westernport. We'll cross to Blairgowrie to speak with PT Hirschfield for her latest on the annual spider crab migration into Port Phillip Bay. Artist Andrew Hazelwinkel joins us to talk about his upcoming exhibition 'What the Sea never Told', paying homage to the tragic drowning of 15 young footballers in Port Phillip Bay back in 1892. And Dr Beach brings the latest in marine science news. Science, art, community, spidercrabs and nudibranchs - once again we've got something for everyone!

We see sea slugs by the sea shore - Kade Mills (VNPA) and Professor Steve Smith (National Marine Science Centre) join us to talk about next weekend's first ever Sea Slug Census in Port Phillip Bay and Westernport. Terri brings us a dive report (seriously?? Is ANYONE diving this weekend??). Dr Beach brings the latest in marine science. And Jeff brings us another classic marine TV show from yesteryear with Australian icon (and token female marine biologist). Catch you then!

Who is killing the great rays of the bays? PT Hirschfield joins us to explore a trend of growing concern - horrific killing and dumping of local rays in Port Phillip and Westernport and particularly under piers and jetties. John brings us an eclectic grab bag of news. Then dust off your ropes, because Jeff Maynard brings us a film about nautical knots. And we acknowledge the passing of one of the great advocates for protection of the natural wonders of Westernport, Mr John Clarke.

It's World Environment Day and then World Oceans Day on Tuesday 8th June, with a theme of 'Healthy Oceans, Healthy Planet' - with a big focus on plastics in the oceans and the catastrophic impacts on sealife. In studio we have Neil Blake to talk microplastics, Richard Reina from Monash University to talk about the little penguins at Phillip Island and St Kilda, and Dave Donnelly about whales in Westernport. And our own Dr Beach with marine science, and Bron with the latest in marine news including some good news coming out of San Francisco this week.

What a mixed and diverse show... Bron and Anth will cover topics as wide as Saving the Sea Eagle by maintaining wetlands, the amount of the ocean floor is actually mapped and at what resolution, practical local solutions to preparing for and responding to the impact of climate change around Western Port with Greg Hunt Exec Officer of the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance, and finally the Sea Shepherd response to the Japanese recommencing fake "scientific" whaling again... and all interdispersed with great music!

Cecelia Whitton is the Executive Officer of the Westernport Biosphere and joins us to talk about Biosphere Reserves in a global context, why and how Westernport is considered as one, and some of the current challenges facing Westernport and other Biospheres around the world.Sean Doherty, surf scribe and author joins us for a discussion about the big news of the week - 'that' shark attack on 'our' Mick Fanning. Sean has been chatting to those in Sth Africa who were at J Bay, and he's got the low down. There were several photographers in the water at the time - what happened to them? And what does this mean for future events at J Bay and elsewhere? We'll also talk about Patagonia's business philosophy and the environmental causes they support. And two papers that have piqued Dr Beach's interest: one on corals inheriting a love for heat, and the other on microbes deep deep down below the ocean floor.

Dr Julie Mondon from Deakin University has just come back from a stint in Antarctica doing research into impact of sewage produced by researchers and staff on Australia's Antarctic bases. She'll join us to talk about her research and what she found.Many of us are pretty confident we know the coastline around Port Phillip Bay and Westernport, but none more so than Graham Patterson. He walked the entire 580km coastline of both embayments, including Phillip and French Islands, and then put all of his observations and research into two fabulous guides. We'll be speaking with Graham about what inspires him so much about Port Phillip and Westernport, and what's in these great new publications.Plus the latest from the world of marine science, and we celebrate International Women's Day with a tribute to marine research pioneer and early shark conservationist champion, the recently departed Professor Eugenie Clark.
