● Police want to speak with this man
■ Monash Crime Investigation Unit detectives are searching for a man who left a 34year-old woman with non-life-threatening head injuries following an attempted aggravated carjacking in Oakleigh. It is alleged the victim was sitting in her parked black Maserati SUV along Atherton Rd, when she was approached, dragged out of her vehicle, and assaulted by an unknown man about 6pm on Friday, August 2. The Wheelers Hill woman sustained non-lifethreatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. Nearby witnesses located the offender in the woman’s vehicle and attempted to stop him, but he fled the scene towards Atkinson St on foot. One of the witnesses, a 40-year-old Point Cook man also sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene. The offender is perceived as being Middle Eastern in appearance, in his 40’s with a medium build, a beard, moustache and shaggy hair. He was last seen wearing a black coat, dark pants, and black runners. Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crime stoppersvic.com.au
THREAT TO TEALS IN GOLDSTEIN, KOOYONG
■ Zoe Daniel, Goldstein MHR, and Dr Monique Ryan, Kooyong MHR, are at risk of not being returned to Federal Parliament at the next election, according to research published by The Saturday Paper. Journalist Jason Koutsoukis reported that the two Teal politicians were at “real risk” of not being elected at the next poll, which could be held as soon as May next year. “The idea that an independent, once elected, is there for three or four terms is not supported by the current data,” says a political operative who has seen the polling. “There is a very strong possibility that at least four of those MPs could lose their seats.” The Saturday Paper report explained: “Climate 200 convenor Simon Holmes à Court said the group’s polling showed incumbent independents backed by the group were “about where we’d expect” in terms of numbers. One poll had Monique Ryan holding Kooyong by the narrowest possible margin.” The Saturday Paper spoke of potential changes to election fundraising: “Ryan raised $1.8 million from 3762 donors for her successful campaign to unseat former Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg, while independents and other individual candidates collectively spent about $21 million across the entire 2022 campaign.”
