Relatives of residents who died when COVID-19 swept through St Basil’s aged care nursing home in Fawkner have said they are outraged by the facility’s decision to hold a memorial service for the deceased.
Fr Evmenios Vasilopoulos, the Archdiocesan Vicar of the Northcote district, who is the current Chairman of the nursing home following the resignation of Konstantinos Kontis in September 2020, told
Neos Kosmos that he understands the suffering of the relatives. “I totally understand the pain and reaction of Greek Australians who lost their beloved people,” he said.
He added, however, that it is the “duty” of the home to hold the memorial service. “They were members of our family and we mourned and still mourn their loss,” he said.

A chat with Dr Sure’s Unusual Practice, Melbourne’s inspired Devo-esque synth-punk band
We caught up with the band to talk about their new single, ‘Infinite Growth’, and its corresponding tour.
Dr Sure’s Unusual Practice have carved out their own unique space in Melbourne’s underground music scene, with sounds that hark back to the days when synthesisers were considered alien enterprises in the music context – a time where bands like Kraftwerk twisted, then rewired brains with their otherworldly music creations and innovations.
Dr Sure’s craft music that’s fresh and inspired; new wave-punk that isn’t being done by many bands in Melbourne, especially now that U-Bahn are no longer together.
