SPORTS HUB IS ‘AMAZING’
■ Mornington MLA Chris Crewther has told State Parliament that the new sports hub at Alexandra Park is “amazing”. “The other day I toured the almost completed Alexandra Park, Mornington, redevelopment with Mick and Johnno. Once finished this will be wonderful for Mornington Football Netball Club, Peninsula Raiders Superules Football Club, Mornington Cricket Club, the Bays and all users. “The pavilion will be an amazing sports hub with state-of-the-art shared rehab and community facilities and will even have a bit of a balcony. “And you never know, we might even get the member for Nepean coming along and maybe breaking another ankle or leg playing a footy game at the grounds. “This project has been a long time coming. I originally started advocating with Greg Hunt along with Mick, Martin and the clubs from 2016 onwards, with funds announced when I was MP covering Mornington in 2019. “Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie has since been elected and has done a great job to see this work through to fruition using these funds. “A bit over five years later it is terrific to see this project nearly done,” Mr Crewther told the Legislative Assembly.

● Sonya Kilkenny, Carrum MLA
■ A Langwarrin woman almost didn’t buy her winning Set for Life admitting she "felt off "that day, but her intuition convinced her it could hold the $4.8 million prize. She held the only winning entry nationally in Set for Life draw. The $4.8 million will be paid in instalments of $20,000 a month for the next 20 years. ““I feel sick, but happy sick!” she laughed. “I am hungry, but I can’t come to terms with eating! I’m shaking, it’s bizarre. Truly bizarre. “I discovered it this morning when my husband gave me a call because he heard someone had won division one in Set for Life and he knows I enjoy playing the game. “He said, ‘Someone in Victoria has won Set for Life’ and I immediately thought it was me. I said to him, ‘It’s me. It’s got to be me. As soon as I got off the phone with him, I grabbed the ticket off the fridge to check it. I called him back immediately and I said to him, ‘You need to be calm. I won Set for Life.’”

■ Carrum MLA Sonya Kilkenny says she is “in awe” of local State Emergency Service volunteers. “I joined with proud members of the Frankston SES unit as well as volunteers and personnel from other emergency services organisations, including Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, SES Chelsea unit, Skye fire brigade, Carrum Downs fire brigade and Fire Rescue Victoria, to officially open the Frankston SES satellite facility in Skye,” Ms Kilkenny said. “It was a big day and an emotional one too, so many years in the making and so much fierce advocacy by so many, but especially the members and volunteers of Frankston SES, who I have got to know so well over this nearly nineyear journey and who I am proud to call my friends. “Special mention goes to Brooke Bird, Priscilla Grimme, Shane Double, Monique Napolitan, Mark Ivory, Philip Holt, Alisha Wells, Dimity Lynch, Brad O’Donoghue, Paul O’Donoghue and Wayne Roberts and of course – and especially – Brian McMannis. “To every single member of the Frankston SES unit, I am in awe of you – local community members whose sole motivation is to help other,” Ms Kilkenny said.
