Gippsland

But that's not the only poor planning process that Sonia Kilkenny has done.

She approved some batteries in Gippsland that are awarded to a company in voluntary administration.

This is just terrible governance from government And Sonia Kukeni needs to answer why she's done it and the new government should review it.

Well, when I spoke to Jess Wilson, she said in relation to another decision pending with the minister that if they were to rush it through prior to the election, she would tear it up the other side.

However, Saudi authorities say they had intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles that were launched towards the city.

And a magnitude 3.5 earthquake has been recorded near the town of Leongatha in the South Gippsland region of Victoria.

Geoscience Australia says the quake struck at a depth of three kilometres shortly before midnight local time.

Residents have reported feeling the quake with more than 1,000 reports registered.

Can you tell me a bit about that?

Mum and dad grew up in Gippsland.

Dad followed his father to be a civil engineer and they wanted to live the expat lifestyle.

They moved us to Saudi Arabia, where dad worked for Caterpillar over there.

We make, well, 2025, I think we made 130 litres, which is not exactly commercial, but generally it makes 600 or 700 bottles, and it's a really pretty Grenache, nice texture, good tannin, great acidity, and just a really pretty example.

And then that's named after my dad's mum, who was Winifred, And Winifred was a beautiful grandmother.

She lived in Gippsland.

She used to drive 900 kilometres to come and prune the roses in winter.

But on the flip side as well, we do have a lot of producers these days that are getting into the scene, not necessarily owning their own vineyards and handpicking.

specific regions and and like Patrick Sullivan down in Gippsland is one of those that he just focuses on Gippsland and just focuses on Chardonnay and is a bit of a rock star in the Somme world in terms of what he's doing there.

So

you mentioned Gippsland and I've heard Bass Phillip was bought by one of Burgundy's most famous producers with the stated goal of making the DRC of the Southern Hemisphere.

What do you think he saw?

Look, Bass Phillip has probably been one of the earlier kind of Pinot producers that really lit the fire in terms of what could be produced in Victoria when it comes to Pinot.

We also had a family farm that my grandparents bought.

And in Gippsland.

So, we spent a lot of time out there as well.

So, we're a really tight, connected family.

So the company says about 7% of its workforce will be impacted.

The earth moved in Gippsland again last night, this time a magnitude 3.5 quake, so just a little tremor.

Nearly in Gatha, hundreds of people have reported feeling it.

And the worst kept secret in showbiz, it's finally out.

But what are the things that have moved you? That's a classic example, isn't it? You can imagine going to Arlington Cemetery for the Kennedy grave.

133693 in Bunyip, beautiful Bunyip, if you're not too sure, Bunyip, a town in Gippsland.

Around about 81, 82 k's east of Melbourne, located the Shire of Cardinia.

records a population just over 3,000, according to the more recent census of 2021 at least.

I'm pleased you rang through, Pete, and thank you for your patience.

Thanks for waiting.

In Gippsland, hello, Tommy.

Morning.

And now he can't even get a...

Last year he led after he won the champion of champions in Gippsland.

And to see him lead, it's just a waste of a talent.

And yeah, I won't hold back and say Shane Holmes, it's a bit of a joke to see him play at second.

But these days, we are a gas producer.

Primarily, we have two production facilities in Victoria, one on the Gippsland side, one on the Otway side, just near the Great Ocean Road, where we're producing gas from offshore waters and bringing it onshore.

And we represent about 6% of the Southeast Australian gas market.

So a purely domestic gas supplier.
