Margaret Jacqueline Crittenden – mother, visionary and mentor
WELL known Mornington Peninsula vigneron and restaurateur Margaret Crittenden died at George Vowell Aged Care facility on Thursday, 26 November. She was 78. Her funeral service was held at Tobin Brothers, Mt. Martha, on Friday, 4 December. Her husband, Garry, compiled the eulogy on which this obituary is based.
Marg, as she was generally known, was an only child, born at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Hospital, East Melbourne, to Jack and Marion Down, on 18 October 1942. Jack, a trained accountant, originally from Warrnambool, met Marion in the late 1930’s while he was working at the Onkaparinga Woollen Mills near Adelaide. Marion was born and raised in Adelaide. After marrying in 1941, the couple moved to Melbourne.

Dutton asked the inquiry to look at the motivations, objectives and capacity for violence of extremists, as well as how they operate and spread their messages online.
Dr Debra Smith, a researcher at Victoria University focusing on violent political extremism, said the current counter-terrorism framework was developed in a period of a “different threat complex”, and it was time to rethink the government’s approach.
