Mornington Peninsula Shire has informed the publisher of Somerville Times & Peninsula Local that it will cease engagement with him and his organisation.

The Shire believes in being held to account along with freedom of press, however we have clear expectations regarding ethical conduct, fair and accurate reporting, and respectful behaviour.

This includes concerns regarding past reporting approaches and publicly documented conduct matters, which we believe do not meet community expectations and are not aligned to the Shire's values or the community we serve.
