HOBSONS Bay councillors are expected to defy a council officers’ report that recommends not changing the name of a street named after a paedophile Catholic priest because there’s insufficient support.

A report prepared for last night’s council meeting recommended against changing the name of Rubeo Avenue in Altona Meadows.

As reported exclusively in the Weekly on November 28, a mother and daughter petitioned for a change.

Point Cook woman Christine Dunsmore and her mother Jen Austin, of Altona North, believe their former family priest Victor Rubeo “shouldn’t be revered in any way, shape or form”.
