MP defends gambling reforms Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au DUNKLEY MP Jodie Belyea has defended her decision to support the federal government’s watereddown gambling legislation, saying that “waiting for the perfect reform is not in the best interest of the community”. The federal government’s gambling reforms have been criticised for failing to address all of the recommendations of an anti-gambling inquiry
chaired by late Dunkley MP Peta Murphy. The legislation passed Parliament in mid-August. Murphy’s husband Rod Glover is among those who have voiced concerns. He said “the package is far from everything that is needed, and it has taken too long to get here.” (“Mixed emotions on gambling reforms” The Times, 24/8/2026) Last week, Murphy’s successor as MP for Dunkley Jodie Belyea issued an open letter about the reforms. She said “I believe reducing exposure to gambling advertising, limiting in-
ducements, strengthening self exclusion measures and closing regulatory loopholes all matter.” “Supporting this Bill does not mean I believe the gambling reform agenda is finished or everything has been achieved. It means I believe enough has been achieved in this Bill to make supporting it the right decision now”, Belyea said. “These reforms will reduce exposure to gambling advertising by strengthening protections for children and young people; banning inducements and referral commissions; strengthening BetStop and
action against illegal offshore gambling; addressing emerging gambling products and close regulatory loopholes; and establishing a framework for reviewing the reforms and improving them over time.” Belyea said that one of the 31 recommendations made after Murphy’s anti-gambling inquiry “outlined a phased approach to reform.” “This context matters. Peta knew gambling reform was never going to be achieved through one announcement or one piece of legislation. Public health reform is a phased ap-
proach that requires research, advocacy, negotiation, implementation and evaluation,” Belyea said. “I have pushed for changes where I believed the initial proposals did not go far enough. I have advocated for tighter restrictions on gambling companies offering inducements and commissions, and for stronger rules around gambling advertising – particularly where children and young people may be exposed. “Ultimately, these reforms are about improving the lives of people. That is why I support this Bill.”

Incidents prevented in station precinct OUTREACH workers from the “Community Connectors” program, which works with people across the Frankston Station and Young Street precinct, estimate that they have prevented more than 400 dangerous incidents within a year. Frankston Council estimates that in the 2025/2026 financial year, its Community Connectors program supported 3100 people and prevented 406 “incidents of harm”. Community Connectors workers offer immediate support for people in need, referrals to local services, and training for Metro Trains staff. Council estimates that 216 situations were “successfully de-escalated”, and that 217 referrals to specialist services were made. Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker said the program “works because it’s focused on building trust, making connections and helping people access the right support before problems become crises.” “That benefits the people receiving support, while also contributing to a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone using the precinct,” Cr Baker said. Council is seeking $750,000 from the state government to continue Community Connectors. Cr Baker said “we have a program that delivers clear results, has been recognised nationally and is now being offered in other parts of greater Melbourne. “We want to build on that success and see Community Connectors continue to be part of the practical work that makes Frankston a safer and more connected community, but we can’t do that alone. Ahead of this state election we are calling on all Frankston candidates to put Community Connectors and Frankston City First.”

A message to the Premier Dear Premier Carroll,
When the State Government stopped maintaining the historic Flinders Pier a decade ago, it fell into such disrepair that 45,000 Victorians demanded action. Heritage Victoria intervened and listed the Flinders Pier for its historical significance, ruling that the pier must either be properly maintained or re-built the same.
Instead, your Government demolished the Heritage listed structure, left 12 new piles sitting abandoned in the water, and refused to re-build the historic inner pier. This was a betrayal of trust for the 8 local communities the pier serves; and for the hundreds of thousands of Victorians of all ages, abilities, and cultures who use the timber pier every year. Premier, we expect better. It is now time to restore and re-build the Flinders Pier for all Victorians, just as your Government publicly promised only 9 months ago.

comparison to inner Melbourne bayside suburbs. This means that for Frankston City Council to raise a similar amount in rates as other councils (for it to provide a similar level of local government services) it must use a rate in the dollar which is applied to the valuations.” The motion was scheduled to be put forward at council’s 4 April meeting, shortly after publication deadline. A proposal put forward by Cr Hughes in February last year to cut rates by one per cent was rejected with a 7-2 vote (“Rate cut promise not supported” The Times 24/2/21).

Accessibility improvements continue AN accessible changing room is being built on the Frankston Waterfront to help people with disabilities enjoy the beach. Frankston Beach was the location of an accessibility pilot program last summer, which is set to return this year. The latest accessibility measure to be implemented is the addition of a “Changing Places” facility. The new changeroom features an adult-sized height-adjustable change table, a ceiling hoist system, and additional space for carers. A similar facility has also been installed at the George Pentland Botanic Garden play space. The Changing Places facility, scheduled to open in December, was jointly funded by Frankston Council and the federal government. Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said “Australia’s Most Accessible Beach has put Frankston on the map for accessible tourism and recreation. This investment builds on that momentum and ensures the infrastructure at Frankston’s waterfront continues to meet the needs of residents and visitors with disabilities, their families and carers.”

Arts Centre named nation’s best THE Frankston Arts Centre has been named the best performing arts centre in the country. The Arts Centre team accepted the Performing Arts Centre of the Year award at a PAC Australia event last week. PAC Australia executive director Katherine Connor said that the Frankston Arts Centre’s success “reflected its strong connection to community.” “Their commitment to inclusion, accessibility and creativity has made the venue a genuine place of belonging, while their work in schools, health settings and public spaces beyond the venue shows how a performing arts centre can meaningfully embed the arts in community life and truly contribute to the heart and cultural positioning of a city,” she said. “They have also invested consistently in local artists, creating real pathways for creative development. This award reflects the strength of their approach to building relationships with audiences.” Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker said “for generations of Frankston residents, the Arts Centre has been the backdrop to special moments and lasting memories. It’s where people have attended their first concert, watched their children perform on stage, celebrated milestones, discovered new artists and shared unforgettable experiences with family and friends. This award belongs to everyone who has been part of that journey, from our dedicated staff and volunteers to the artists, performers, community groups and audiences who have helped make the Arts Centre such a special part of Frankston City’s story.”

Mt Eliza pair arrested as part of Fatal crash investigated construction corruption inquiry DETECTIVES from Taskforce Hawk executed a warrant at a residential property in Mt Eliza on Wednesday 9 September, and arrested a 46-year-old Mt Eliza man and a 47-year-old Mt Eliza woman. They also seized a number of items including electronic devices and paperwork, with the view to forensically assess them. The Mt Eliza man has been charged with make false document as part of a separate Taskforce Hawk investigation and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 1 December. The Mount Eliza woman, who is the director of a labour hire company, was interviewed by police and released later the same day pending further inquiries. The warrant forms part of a Taskforce Hawk investigation into allegations of people linked to a Victorian-based labour hire company providing corrupting benefits to current Queensland-based CFMEU officials to influence them in the performance of their duties. The investigation into the matter commenced in July this year and remains ongoing. Detectives will prepare a brief of evidence as part of this investigation in relation to the Commonwealth offence of giving, receiving or soliciting a corrupting benefit, pursuant to section 536D (1) and (2) of the Fair Work Act 2009 for assessment by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. If convicted, offenders face a penalty
of up to 10 years imprisonment. Operation Hawk was established in July 2024 to specifically target criminal behaviour linked to the construction industry and transitioned to Taskforce Hawk in June 2025. Taskforce Hawk is focused on assessing new intelligence and evidence relating to allegations of criminal behaviour linked to the construction industry. It also continues to proactively target organised crime associated with the sector, including a focus on any individuals employed within the construction industry who have known links to outlaw motorcycle gangs. “Our focus since the inception of Taskforce Hawk has always been about eradicating criminality – regardless of what form it takes – from the construction industry,” said Detective Inspector Ross Mitchell from Taskforce Hawk. “Those who are in the industry deserve to work in a fair and safe environment at all times. “Taskforce detectives will also continue to work closely with other agencies, including our law enforcement partners interstate, to ensure all those involved in this type of offending are fully investigated. “We encourage anyone that has any information on concerning behaviours witnessed in any construction industry workplace to come forward and speak to police. As always, it can be done anonymously and reports will be treated with the strictest of confidence.”
A MAN died after a collision between a car and truck in Carrum Downs last week. The crash occurred at around 3.20am on Peninsula Link near the Frankston-Dandenong Road offramp. The man driving the truck stopped at the scene. Emergency services arrived and found the car unoccupied, but discovered a man’s body nearby. In a statement, Victoria Police said “Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives are attending to process the scene and determine the cause of the collision.” Anyone who witnessed the collision can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Police target bikie gangs POLICE conducted a raid in Carrum Downs last week as part of an investigation into outlaw bikie gangs. The raids followed an alleged assault in Sale last month. On 9 September police raided homes in Safety Beach, Carrum Downs, Doncaster East, Lynbrook, Ringwood, Selby, Metung, and Sale, and a clubhouse in Cranbourne West. Police arrested nine people, including a 34-year-old Safety Beach man and a 35-year-old Carrum Downs man, who they allege are connected to the Finks Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. The Safety Beach man, Carrum Downs man, and a Lynbrook man were each charged with intentionally cause injury and affray. A Doncaster East man was charged with affray,
public display of prohibited insignia, possess imitation firearms, possess prohibited weapons and possess steroids. A Sale man has been charged with affray. They were each bailed to face Sale Magistrates’ Court on 9 February, 2027. A Victoria Police statement read that four men were released “pending further enquiries”. “Police seized a range of items from the addresses during the warrants, including two gel blaster assault rifles, two gel blaster handguns, prohibited weapons and steroids found at the Doncaster East property,” Victoria Police said. “The arrests form part of an investigation into an incident at a licensed premises on York Street, Sale on 15 August. “Police will allege that the group of men approached five males about 5.15pm and began harassing them. This led to an affray where several people were injured, with one of the victims sustaining a fractured jaw. The investigation remains ongoing.”
Man charged after electronic tracking devices found on vehicles in Frankston FRANKSTON Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man after electronic tracking devices were allegedly placed on cars in Frankston. It is alleged the devices were located on several vehicles in the Frankston area between June and September this year. As part of the investigation, police yesterday arrested a 65-year-old Frankston man. Detectives subsequently executed a search warrant at an address on Tantani Street. The Frankston man has been charged with stalking (x4), prohibited person possess firearm and prohibited person possess weapon. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Cerberus land sale could impact rare owl species Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillor David Gill has warned the proposed sale of land at HMAS Cerberus could threaten one of the peninsula’s rarest bird species. The powerful owl, which is listed as vulnerable in Victoria, can be found in open forests and woodlands and requires old-growth trees for nesting. Gill said the navy base land contains some of the peninsula’s last remaining untouched bushland and provides important habitat for the species. “Powerful owls are dependent on hollows in old trees for nesting and raising their young,” said Gill. “The Cerberus base has the necessary old indigenous trees that hollow out, but the federal government has decided to put the bushland around the base on the market and is now seeking public feedback.” In February, Defence Minister Richard Marles announced HMAS Cerberus would be “partially divested” as part of a sale of 35,000 hectares of defence real estate (“HMAS Cerberus to be ‘partially divested’ in defence land sell-off”, The Times, 04/02/26). Approximately 1,164 hectares of the Cerberus site is proposed for divestment. Mornington Peninsula Shire sought community feedback on its draft submission to the federal government, which outlines the shire’s preferred
use of the land if divested. Community consultation closed on 25 August, and council is due to submit the submission in December. In its draft form, the submission requested the land be primarily used for environmental conservation with limited and carefully managed recreation, tourism, and/or aquaculture. Gill said development or loss of bushland in the area could reduce habitat for the powerful owl, which is already threatened due to human activity. “The sale of Cerberus may be the final straw for this species to be seen again on the Mornington Peninsula,” said Gill. Roger Richards, a local bird expert, said he estimates there to be six or seven pairs of powerful owls remaining on the peninsula. “There are relatively small numbers of them,” said Richards. “To keep their habitat intact is very important.” Richards said any development in the area could have a significant impact on the species. “The Mornington Peninsula is important habitat for the powerful owl, specifically areas such as Cerberus, where you don’t have a lot of people there,” said Richards. “Powerful owls don’t like to be disturbed.” Environmental concerns over the divestment of the land have also been raised by community groups. On 24 August, the environmental group Save Westernport appeared as
the first witness at a public hearing into the planned disposal of Defence estate assets, including the Cerberus land (“Committee looks at Cerberus sell-off, as environment group digs in for fight”, The Times, 02/09/26). At the hearing, president of Save Westernport, Jane Carnegie, said the land should not be divested for commercial sale. “We, as a community, say hands off. This land is not for sale,” said Carnegie. “Cerberus is of the highest environmental significance with its diverse ecosystems, endangered species, migratory birds and border with the Ramsar Wetlands of Westernport. “It must be preserved for conservation, and its flora and fauna protected.” Community opposition to the proposed divestment has been ongoing. Over 300 people attended a community consultation on 10 June, with seemingly all attendees in opposition to the proposed divestment (“Fiery meeting over Cerberus sell-off plans”, The Times, 15/06/26).

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY
DENNIS COMETTI: CENTIMETRE PERFECT
SBS, 7.30pm
SATURDAY
GRANTCHESTER ABC TV, 7.30pm
Crime-solving clergy may come and go, but for 11 seasons, DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green, pictured) has been the mainstay of this gentle murder mystery. However, this is the final episode of Grantchester, and last week’s cliffhanger ending, which saw the detective shot and left fighting for life, feels genuinely perilous. While Geordie’s loved ones keep vigil by his bedside in hospital, Alphy (Rishi Nair) and DC Peters (Bradley Hall) track the shooter (Sonny Ashbourne Serkis) across Cambridgeshire countryside. It all brings Alphy’s ongoing crisis of faith to a head.
This week, intrepid tour guide Shaun Micallef concludes his second sojourn around the globe, helping famous faces follow in the footsteps of their ancestors – and he’s saved the best for last. For this final chapter, Micallef’s travel companion is TV presenter Tony Armstrong (pictured), whose Indigenous heritage is well known; however, the former AFL player isn’t quite as acquainted with his Irish roots. The joy of this series is the revealing conversations held en route, as Micallef unravels the person behind the public persona. A highlight is witnessing the genuine delight on Armstrong’s face as he uncovers parallels between his Aboriginal and Irish cultures.
SEVEN, 8.30pm
AFL fans might have come for the main event, but they stayed for the soundtrack when unforgettable commentator Dennis Cometti (pictured) was behind the mic. Faster than the action on the field, the former player and coach had an unmistakable way with words that defined his five-decade career, and possessed the rare power to make an average game interesting. This featurelength documentary honours the life of the late broadcasting legend – as told by those who knew him: his son, Mark; colleagues Bruce McAvaney, Eddie McGuire, Sandy Roberts and Basil Zempilas; and players Nick Riewoldt, Chris Judd and Bob Murphy. Peppered with memorable calls, it’s a charming tribute. 1809

Potholes not the only priority
Pothole of the week
Send your pothole photo to: potw@mpnews.com.au
I have just travelled 4000kms across Victoria, SA and NSW. Yes, the Mornington Peninsula has dangerous potholes, although many have now been repaired, thanks to the council allocation of $17m for road repair and the millions allocated through the National Roads to Recovery program. Many people say Victoria’s roads are in a worse condition than SA and NSW. In SA I found the condition of the roads varied across different local government areas. Even parts of the Princes Highway had potholes and many of the minor roads were in need of repair. I travelled back home along the east coast and found the Victorian part of the Princes Highway and many of the minor roads were quite good. There are many causes of potholes and they will always be an issue of concern, and those that are dangerous should be rectified quickly. But as we are approaching the election let’s consider the other issues of importance. Action on climate change and building renewables is clearly one of the most important. We have just seen the tragedy in Nepal resulting from the melting of glaciers and the unprecedented heatwaves and fires in Europe. The policies of both the LNP and One Nation are about undoing much of the good work that has been done by Labor. We must resist that. Marg D’Arcy, Rye
Koala concern
Driving around the peninsula I see increasingly more signs encouraging drivers to slow down to protect koalas. That’s a good thing. The Victorian state government has finally released a report that explains the poor state of health of our koala population. Koala numbers are less than half what was previously assumed. And nearly half of the koalas sampled and checked by vets were in such poor health that they were euthanised. With bird flu cases also rising (“Bird flu cases continue to climb”, The News, 8/9/26), now seems a good time to focus on wildlife protection. If we want future generations to enjoy seeing koalas in the wild, we need to do more than just slowing down on the roads. Amy Hiller, Kew
Exit clause
I’m aghast, at the shires cavalier attitude to its most vulnerable citizens. Taking away meals on wheels services,that enable older and frail people to stay in their homes is not a very generous thing to do. Especially in light of considerable increase of our rates and services bills. And taking away the community bus service, condemns all the people who can’t drive anymore to a life of exclusion and possibly forcing them into early care. I would urge the shire to re think this decision,and provide adequate services to its constituents. What where they thinking? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
I agree with your correspondent that “the language of hate” has no role in Australian politics or society (“Pauline Hanson”, Letters, 8/9/26). So it was surprising to read that lawyer Ashli Beards, whose profession depends on both language and the law, has put her hand up as the One Nation candidate for Mornington (“Lawyer enters Mornington contest for One Nation”, The News, 8/9/26). Does Ms Beards support One Nation’s proposal to slash Commonwealth spending by $90b a year? Where will the cuts come from? Among the proposed cuts are childcare, earlychildhood education and paid parental leave. And does she also reject climate science, as Pauline Hanson does? Does she believe climate change is a “hoax” and support abolishing the federal Department of Climate Change? It makes one wonder how long, if elected, Ms Beards would survive in the party. Twenty-five of the 52 people who have represented One Nation in Australian parliaments have either defected or left — almost half. At that rate of attrition, perhaps the most useful clause for Ms Beards would be an exit clause. Ray Peck, Hawthorn
Kangaroo commitment
Beggars belief
Paying more for less
In response to Anthony Marsh’s letter (“Kangaroos before politics”, Letters, 8/9/26) there should be nothing disappointing about reading a letter clarifying a political party’s position on protecting the green wedge. Being a president of a local community group (Save Kangaroo On Mornington Peninsula) doesn’t exclude me from having an opinion or seeking a political party position in response to an article in the local paper. There is only one development in the green wedge that poses an unacceptable risk to kangaroos in the Nepean electorate and that would be the permit granted to the Arthurs Seat Eagle. Ironically enough Anthony Marsh was the only candidate who didn’t show up to the Save Our Seat community meeting at Dromana Community Hall prior to the by-election earlier this year. Only someone who would imply a community member puts politics above the work they contribute to the community either doesn’t understand the effort put in or appreciate the efforts of community volunteers. For anyone else interested in the work I do for SKOMP, please book a ticket to “Sunset with Kangaroos” through eventbrite and join us on a Saturday evening with the kangaroos at Seawinds gardens at Arthurs Seat. SKOMP would love to see you there. Craig Thomson, Save Kangaroos On Mornington Peninsula
Kangaroo cull?
Has the shire eliminated all the kangaroos on Arthur’s seat? I have not seen one at the Dromana cemetery for months. There used to be a mob that would wander through,now, you,don’t even,see ‘roo faeces. Maybe we ask the shire if they have completely decimated the roo population or,where have they put them? John Cain, McCrae
Sorry - someone who while in council repeatedly voted pro-development in flagrant disregard to community outcries to protect the Green Wedge, is now posturing as a champion of the same Green Wedge areas that they were instrumental in destroying? Beggars belief! Cheap vote catching change of tune. The community is not stupid. We will remember when it comes time to vote at the state election in November 2026. Esther Gleixner, Flinders
Parking infringement
In a narrow street near me, a considerate driver parked his car with 2 wheels on the footpath. This causes less obstruction to passing vehicles and doesn’t affect footpath walkers. But the shire says no! And rewards the driver with a $125 fine. Can’t inspectors use common sense and discretion? Warwick Spinaze, Rosebud
Caravan crackdown
It is good to see that begging has been decriminalised and no longer an offence. Begging used to have a penalty up to 12 months in prison or a fine. There should never be a criminal offence for being poor. The City of Frankston has done an audit of all rooming houses in Frankston which include having caravans on premises. The council has referred two locations to their planning office for attention. There may be a cost of living crisis but this does not mean housing investors should be allowed to manipulate the system because for profit. Russell Morse, Karingal
STATE Main Street, Mornington
Coffee culture
As a change to the usual subjects of these letters I thought I would write a small dedication to one of the communities who gather at coffee shops on the Mornington Peninsula. This is about Mt Martha village particularly, and the otherwise unrelated people who congregate almost every day at Via Batiste. At the weekend, many of us who drift in and out and eventually become regulars, turned out to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of local identity Bill. However, this is not about Bill’s lifetime of achievements but about a sense of joyful community amongst those who were there. Bill’s the focus and is otherwise famous for talking people into buying his eggs. Gary, once science teacher and football identity is absent on a long break in Lombok. His partner Emma turned up sans the chubby schnauzer, Raf. Paul the builder brought his rat rod and Georgie, his better half. Moose the dog was home dreaming about Alaska. John, 82, ex CFA and farmer, grieving, but serving food and drinks, and making smart-arse comments to anyone who refused. The sweet smell of a good cigar announced Mass the brickie and partner Vanessa. Toni, minus her borrowed dog Ace, helped with the red wine and joy at her grandson’s major jackpot win at the pokies. Neil and Margy were in residence, a gas couple, and politically astute. Dan, the force behind Batiste, ran the show, along with a solid turnout of family. And many other regulars. So, what made this event worthy of a mention? It arises from a postcode, and then friendship, in that order, and its village life on the peninsula. A celebration of all these folk who grow to know each other over a morning coffee. Ken Anderson, Mt Martha

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mornington robberies – housebreaker appears on nine charges Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Mornington Court of Petty Session on Friday last, George Walter Griffith, aged 22 years, appeared on nine charges of housebreaking. The Bench comprised Dr. J. E. Somers and Messrs. J. G. Barrett, Geo. Flood and P. McArthur, J.’sP. The court was crowded with people anxious to obtain a view of the alleged housebreaker, also to hear the evidence. Griffith was escorted to the court at about 11.10am. Detective Lambell conducted the case for the Crown. The first witness called was Mr. Harper-Brown, of Murrumbeena. He stated that he owned a week-end house in Beach Grove, Mornington. On Sunday, August 8, he left the house securely locked up. In response to a telephone call he visited his seaside residence and found the glass panel of the front door broken and the house ransacked. He then discovered that a linen bag containing about 25 sovereigns and jewellery valued in all at £100, had been stolen from the house. A loaded gun, which had been taken from the cupboard, was found at the foot of the stairs. A bed had been slept upon. Later he identified articles of jewellery (which were found in Griffith’s possession) as the property stolen. When invited to ask the witness any questions, Griffith stated that there were only 17 sovereigns in the bag. Mr. M. Bates, of Balwyn, was the next witness. He said he left his mother’s house on the Esplanade, Mornington, on the 21st August, and all doors and windows were securely
locked. Mrs. A. E. Bates stated that she visited her house at Mornington on 25th August and found the interior of same in a state of disorder. No thing of any value was missing. Mrs. Newbegin, of South Yarra, stated that she left her week-end house at Mornington securely locked on July 28, and on August 27 she found that the place had been broken into, but nothing was stolen. Mr. W. C. Corran stated that he was a caretaker and gardener at Mr. Wasley’s house on the Esplanade, Mornington. On August 23 he left the house at 11am, returned at about 12.45, and on entering the back door found all the inside doors open. He proceeded upstairs and noticed a pair of field glasses on a bed ready for removal. On returning to the kitchen he found the back door locked and the key flung several yards away. Mrs. D. M. Keast stated that she left her house at Mornington securely locked up in July. Her daughter, Miss B. Keast, explained that she visited the place on August 31 and found that it had been ransacked. The next witness was Mr. T. P. Flood, who said he was caretaker of Mr. Hurlestone’s week-end house at Mornington. On August 25 the house was locked, but on the following day he found it in a state of disorder. Mr. Geo. Nicholson stated that he found his week-end residence at Mornington broken into on August 28, and a ladies’ bicycle, tennis racquet and tools valued at £10 were missing. Mr. T. P. Flood said he was care-
taker of Mr. B. Hutchinson’s house at Mornington, and on 26th August found the place ransacked. A hammer was missing, but was found later. An electric iron was stolen. Mr. Hugh Cannon said his brotherin-law owned a house at Mornington, which was found in a state of disorder on 28th August. Detective Lambell stated that after a long search he saw accused on 3rd September outside Flinders Street Station. Accused had just purchased a ticket to Yarram. On being questioned accused said his name was Bates, and he resided at Yarram. Later he admitted his name was Walter Griffith. At the detective office he searched Griffith and found in his possession articles of jewellery, which were identified as the property of Mr. Harper Brown. Detective Lambell said he was then joined by Constable Mason, of Mornington, and Griffith admitted having broken into all the places above-mentioned and made a statement which explained how he left Melbourne on August 8 and stole property from Brown’s house. He returned to Melbourne, and cashed the sovereigns and pawned the jewellery. Later he again visited Mornington and entered Mrs. Bates’ house and stole a writing pad and a book. Next he slept and ate food at Newbegin’s house; also wrote a letter. On 23rd August he entered Wasley’s house and heard someone in the house. He locked the back door and then went to Melbourne.
He came back to Mornington on 24th August and searched Mr. W. S. Keast’s house for money and valuables. He entered Hurlestone’s place the same evening, and then walked along Point Nepean Road to Mordialloc and caught the train to Melbourne. On 26th August he entered Hutchinson’s house, where he stole an electric iron; then broke into Kettle’s house and later Nicholson’s where he stole the articles described and left the electric iron. He slept at Kettle’s house and later rode to Seaford station, where he abandoned the bicycle and pawned the racquet and tools. Constable Mason gave corroborative evidence. As each charge was read out Griffith answered: “Guilty, your Honor.” Griffith was remanded for sentence at the General Sessions on October 1. *** A talented young pianiste At the University of Melbourne music exams, held last week, Miss Eunice Barclay, of Frankston, has again distinguished herself as an exceptional talented young pianiste in passing Grade III pianoforte. Her work, dating from last December, being: Junior division (Trinity College), Grade V. (University Conservatorium of Music), advanced inter mediate (London College of Music), of which she obtained 91 per cent, and Grade III. (University Conservatorium of Music) . This is regarded as exceptional for a child who is only nine years of age. *** PERSONAL
Mrs. F. Bartlett, who has not been in good health of late, is at present on a visit to Daylesford. Friends of Master Ivan Bell will be pleased to learn that he has been promoted to Senior Cadet in charge of the cadets of Australian Commonwealth liner, “Ferndale.” Well done, Ivan! Misses Cam Fletcher and Freda Johnson are on holidays at friends at Wodonga. Cr. W. Hutchinson, the Shire president, made his “first appearance” in public at the Frankston High school celebrations on Friday last. He was called on to make two speeches during the afternoon and acquitted himself like a veteran. If he suffered from stage fright he did not show it, and his numerous friends congratulated him warmly on the success of his efforts. It seems only the other day that our youthful looking Shire president was to be seen leading the fortunes of the Somerville football team, and later as a returned soldier, with a highly creditable record for service abroad. Cr. Hutchinson’s grandfather, according to Mr. Downward, was one of the pioneers of the Mornington district. Mr. R. C. Chapman, first head master of the Frankston High school, was present at the laying of the foundation stone of the new building on Friday last. Mr. Chapman is now located at Shepparton. Mrs. Male, a well-known resident of Frankston, will celebrate her 82nd birthday on Tuesday next. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 17 September 1926

RED Hill are the 2026 MPFNL Division Two Senior Men premiers after defeating Chelsea by 28 points on Sunday (13 September). The game began tentatively with only a goal apiece scored in the first quarter. In fact, it wasn’t until the 18th minute when either side got on the board with Red Hill scoring a point. Chelsea managed a major around five minutes later and held the lead over Red Hill until the 21st minute when Red Hill got their first major on
the board. Red Hill scored another point close to the end of the first and went into the first break with a two-point advantage. Chelsea kicked a couple of points early in the second quarter to pull level with Red Hill on eight points apiece. Red Hill responded by kicking two goals in the seventh and 11th minutes, pulling 12 points ahead before Chelsea got one back in the 13th minute to bring the margin back to a single straight kick. That was the last major for the quarter with the rest of the time running down with five minors scored; four to Red Hill and one to Chelsea.
Red Hill went into the long break with a nine-point buffer. Chelsea came out firing in the third quarter, slotting the first three scores of the term, two goals and one point to get four points up on Red Hill by the eight-minute mark. Red Hill then quickly responded with their own major to grab the lead back, with Chelsea scoring a point at the 10-minute mark to get back within a single point. During the next 13 minutes of play, Red Hill pushed hard and managed three goals and a point to pull 20 points ahead of their opponent. Chelsea managed two minor scores before the three-quarter break and went into the final rest 18 points
down and with plenty of work to do to convert a minor premiership into the big win. It took less than a minute for Red Hill to slot their first major of the term, stretching their lead to 24-points. Chelsea managed a point in the sixth minute before Red Hill began rubbing salt into the wound by slotting another major in the ninth minute. Now down by 29-points with time ticking away, Chelsea grabbed a goal in the 14th minute, bringing the margin back to 23-points and offering a glimmer of hope. Any momentum was dashed by a Red Hill goal a couple of minutes
later taking the margin out to 29 points again. The next two scores were Chelsea’s with a behind and a goal leaving the margin at 22-points with less than 10 minutes to play. It wasn’t to be, and Red Hill kicked a final major in the dying seconds to put the final margin back out to 28-points. The finals scores were 11.7 (73) to 6.9 (45). The win topped off a big day for Red Hill, also taking out the Reserves premiership. Red Hill will now be promoted to MPFNL Division One for season 2027.

Dromana set to battle Rosebud for premiership glory MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV ONE SEN
DROMANA will meet Rosebud next Sunday in the MPFNL Division One Senior Men grand final after defeating Langwarrin on Saturday (12 September). While the two teams appeared close on paper, with Langwarrin ending the regular season second on the ladder, and Dromana third, Langwarrin had a far stronger 2026. The Kangaroos had only conceded three losses during the regular season, while the Tigers had eight losses to their name, leaving Langwarrin the favourites on paper. Langwarrin managed the stronger start, with the first four scoring opportunities of the game going their way. By the 15th minute mark, they had slotted two goals and two points to be 14 points up, with Dromana having failed to score at all. Dromana scored their first major in the 20th minutes, and after a few minor scores between the teams scored another goal in the 25th minute. Dromana managed a minor score a couple of minutes later before Josh Smith scored a goal for Langwarrin in the dying seconds of the quarter to take his side into the first break eight points up. Smith scored again early in the second, taking the Kangaroo’s lead to 14 points before Dromana got it through the big sticks twice to bring the margin back to just two points in the ninth minute. A minor score for Dromana followed bringing the margin back to a solitary point before Jake Aarts slotted a goal for Dromana in the 13th minute to hit the lead for the first time in the game. Langwarrin struck back a couple of minutes later to get a one-point advantage again before Dromana increased the heat in the last ten minutes of the quarter, kicking three
Picture: Paul Churcher unanswered goals. The Tigers went into the long break 17-points up. Langwarrin found some success in the early minutes of the third, scoring a goal and a point to bring the margin back to 10 points. Dromana then kicked the next two majors, taking the margin back out to 22-points.
That was the last of the goals for the third quarter with Dromana kicking two points and Langwarrin one. The teams went into the final break with Dromana 23-points up and a grand final berth clearly visible to the team. While Langwarrin kicked the opening point of the final term, Dromana then tightened the thumb screws and the next 10 scoring shots,
five points and five goals, were on Dromana’s ledger. By the 23rd minute of the fourth, Dromana had pulled out to a 57-point lead and had it in the bag. Langwarrin kicked the last major of the match, before a point each in the dying minutes of the game. When the final siren went, Dromana had notched a 51-point with. The final
scores were Dromana, 15.11 (101), to Langwarrin, 7.8 (50). Dromana will now face Rosebud who had a stellar 2026, conceding only two games in the regular season. The MPFNL Division One Senior Men grand final will be played at Kinetic Stadium on Sunday 20 September at 2.30pm.

By Cr Stephen Batty, mayor, MPS THE Mornington Peninsula is famous for its stunning coastline, world-class wineries and outstanding golf courses. But it is also a community known for something even more important: looking after one another when times are tough. Because when a neighbour finds themselves in the rough, we don’t leave them there. That is why I am proud to invite our community to support the Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayoral Charity Golf Day on Monday, 26 October 2026, at Peppers Moonah Links Resort in Fingal. While the day promises great golf, good company and friendly competition, its purpose is far more significant. We are aiming to raise $50,000 to support local homelessness initiatives and community support centres that provide vital assistance to some of the most vulnerable people on the Mornington Peninsula. Across our region, too many individuals and families are experiencing housing stress, financial hardship and homelessness. Community support organisations work tirelessly every day to provide practical help, hope and dignity, but they cannot do it alone. In July, I was confronted by the scale of the challenge facing some of our residents. While volunteering with Western Port Community Support, I saw firsthand how many Peninsula locals rely on food relief and community support services simply to make ends meet. I watched residents queue well before the doors opened, waiting patiently for assistance. It was a powerful reminder that behind every statistic is a person, a family and a story.
That experience prompted me to ask a simple question: what can we, as a community, do to help? The answer was to create an event that brings people together, has some fun and, most importantly, raises funds and awareness for those doing it tough. I have been delighted by the support already shown by local businesses. Swan Plumbing, Beck Corporation, Bendigo Bank Mt Eliza, Sorrento Hotel and SeaRoad Ferries, Microflight, Belgravia Leisure have stepped forward as major sponsors, demonstrating the community spirit which makes the Peninsula such a special place. The day will begin with breakfast provided by local Rotary clubs before players take to the fairways of Moonah Links. Following the Ambrose-format tournament, participants will gather for lunch, presentations and prize giving. There will also be a silent auction featuring some exceptional items, including a golfing package for four playing on both the North and South Courses and an accommodation package at Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club, the future home of the 2027 Australian Open. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer, an occasional player or simply want to support a worthy cause, I encourage you to get involved. There will be great golf, great prizes and great company. Most importantly, there will be an opportunity to help our neighbours who need it most. Come and have a hit. Together, we can drive real change for people across the Mornington Peninsula.

Will Scialpi and Walliss stay? Gather round lads: Wayne “Buzzer” Gordon addresses his teammates in a prematch huddle at last week’s relegation showdown against Mooroolbark. Picture: Paul Seeley, The Man In The Stands
SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie A COMMITTEE meeting this week could decide whether president Adrian Scialpi and head coach Ross Walliss remain at Peninsula Strikers. Scialpi will tell his committee that he needs help if he is to continue. First though the dust must settle from last week’s 2-0 loss to Mooroolbark and relegation from State 2 South-East. In a bitter blow to the local club that has flirted with promotion in most post-pandemic seasons it found itself fighting for and failing to save its league status this year. Last Tuesday night Berwick City provided the neutral venue for the allimportant catch-up game and although one of the best first-half chances fell to Oscar Colgate-Jones of Strikers he failed to capitalise. The go-ahead goal came in the 62nd minute from a corner and a bullet-like header from Ryan Smith. In the 82nd minute came the blow that sealed Strikers’ fate. Appropriately it was the class act in this contest, Mooroolbark’s Ross Clark, that delivered the coup de grace. He received the ball in midfield and played it wide to Daniel Aye on the left. Clark then ran unchecked into a gaping hole in behind Strikers defence and Aye honoured the run. Clark skipped past advancing Strikers’ keeper Sam Dabinett – signed on an emergency transfer from Waverley City – and from a tight angle curled the ball home to end Strikers’ chances. It was the biggest crowd Strikers had played in front of this season and it should have been a home game for the local club. The recent clash between these sides was a Strikers’ home game at Centenary Park but it had to be abandoned due to serious player injury. FV forced last week’s rematch to be held at a neutral venue not only robbing Strikers of home ground advantage but of significant revenue. But the damage has been done and Strikers now turn their eyes to the immediate future and how they can rebuild their senior and reserves programs. “This is probably the hardest season I’ve had at the club with all the changes and player movement,” Scialpi said. “At this stage I’m likely to continue as president if the members want me but I can’t continue to do what I’m do-
ing right now. “I’ll be asking for many hands to come in and help me out because I can no longer be president, order uniforms, do this, do that, do some secretarial and treasurer duties. “In effect I need to step back a bit.” When Scott Morrison stood down as head coach at the end of the 2025 season a player exodus followed but its extent caught Strikers off guard. That exodus included Faraz Zenoozi, Jaiden Madafferi, Jamie Donaldson, Kyron Kerr, Ethan Goulding, Cooper Andrews, Campbell Steedman, Jacob Pay, Jordy May, Sam Maggs, Bailey Head and Michael Millar among others on an extensive departure list. Stevie Elliott and Alex Whyte were both unavailable as they recovered from injury while Joel Bowen left during the season. It was nigh on impossible for new joint coaches Ross Walliss and Steven Duffy to rebuild the senior squad with players of similar quality. And some of the recruiting didn’t work out with James Parissis and Zac Palatsides joining from Kingston
City on the last day of the mid-season transfer window only to walk out before season’s end. “We knew we would be losing a few of our senior boys who were ambitious and wanted to play in higher leagues but we didn’t bank of losing those fringe players who were waiting for their opportunity and weren’t getting consistent senior football due to the strength of the squad,” Scialpi added. “I think half a dozen joined Baxter and they were guys who probably would have been getting regular firstteam football this year. “We thought they were up to it but they became impatient and obviously Baxter came knocking and offered them money so they moved on.” In just a single off-season Strikers’ senior and reserve squads were decimated and the Centenary Park outfit never fully recovered. The seniors had been denied promotion in the final game of the 2025 season and in 2024 they finished third just a point away from promotion. The reserves won the 2023 champi-
onship and finished third the following two seasons. This year Strikers’ reserves were the worst team in their league and finished last as a result of the off-field disruption caused by player departures. Strikers found themselves in the unusual position of advertising for a reserves coach a handful of weeks out from the start of this season. As for the seniors the experiment of having joint head coaches failed miserably. Not long into the season Duffy quit eventually joining his former club Skye United. “Duffy felt he wasn’t being respected and his voice wasn’t being heard enough which came as a surprise to all of us. “I think in the end there were a lot of things they couldn’t agree on tactically and with team selection and Duffy thought it was best to leave. “We got Ben Sharman in and he’s been fantastic – a quality individual with great football knowledge and pedigree. “Ben and Ross have worked ex-
tremely well together under really trying circumstances. “Look it would be easy to say we got relegated and get rid of the coaches but I really have to take into consideration the circumstances they worked under and the lack of depth and player options they had. “The thing no-one can explain is that apart from round one at home we never lost a home game but our away form was terrible which really cost us in the end.” Another factor that could come into play at this week’s committee meeting is what one of the club’s favourite sons plans for next year. Wayne “Buzzer” Gordon spoke to his teammates after last week’s Mooroolbark loss and the evergreen striker or midfielder is having time off right now to decide the direction he’ll take next season. Despite rumours to the contrary he denies that he has retired and he already has received offers from other clubs some to become a player-coach. If he feels the time is ripe to move into coaching then Strikers seem sure to listen to what he wants. But Walliss and Gordon don’t share the view that Gordon’s first team days at Strikers are over which adds to the uncertainty over Walliss’s future. “I’m a loyal person and I’ve told the club that I want to carry on,” Walliss said. “But I’ve made it clear that certain things have to happen and that includes having the financial backing to do something in State 3.” To that end Walliss has lured a family friend – a successful businessman from Mornington – to take on the role of sponsorship manager, an area Strikers are keen to bolster. This year’s relegation is the fourth for Strikers from State 2 this century the others coming in 2008, 2014 and 2017. In 2014 and 2017 the club was reinstated in the off-season when a vacancy emerged and it was offered the chance to fill it. Fast forward to 2026 and no-one at the club expects Strikers to be so lucky a third time.
