Huge bill after ovals’ turf accidentally poisoned Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au A CONTRACTOR employed by Mornington Peninsula Shire applied the wrong treatment to four ovals in February, killing the turf, with user clubs still dealing with the aftermath and the shire facing extensive repair costs. The wrong treatment was applied to RJ Rowley Reserve in Rye, Olympic Park Reserve in Rosebud, David MacFarlane Reserve in Sorrento, and Emil Madsen Reserve Oval 2 in Mt Eliza.
Anthony Ring, president of Sorrento Sharks Football and Netball Club, said he noticed the field deteriorating around four to six weeks after treatment was applied. Ring said the poison applied is used to kill ryegrass on couch grass ovals but was mistakenly applied to ryegrass fields. “Every other ground in our competition is couch, and they use it to kill off the ryegrass,” said Ring. “Instead of not using that poison on the three rye ovals that are left in our competition, they just blanketpoisoned all the ovals, and unfortu-
nately, it killed our oval.” Ring said the shire outsourced maintenance on the oval a couple of years ago, and the oval has since been top-dressed with a clay-based sand. “When that goes on the oval and is sort of compacted, it’s almost like making a dam,” said Ring. “So, we had the effect of the poison and the fact that the water couldn’t drain away, and it became just a mud pit with no grass, basically.” Ring said the club had to stay off the oval as much as possible, practising at other grounds or skipping
practice to keep it safe for home game use. “We had multiple soft tissue injuries where players were finding they’d have to adjust the way they ran on the oval compared to what you get on a normal flat level oval because it was so unstable, the surface underneath,” said Ring. He said by November, however, the poison should have worn off and with some sun and maintenance, the oval should look good as new. “There’s been some really big oversights and some really poor management at council level,” said Ring.
He said while the wrong treatment being applied was a “complete oversight and massive mistake”, the shire has been very helpful since the incident occurred. “The council were apologetic, very apologetic, and they were owning the fact that they’d made a really big mistake,” said Ring. “They were very receptive in having meetings with us and doing what we have to do to try and fix it, and keep it useable, keep it playable, and repair it going forward so it doesn’t happen again.” Continued Page 11

Shire councillor found guilty of misconduct
Bird flu cases continue to climb
Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au
CONFIRMED bird flu cases on the Mornington Peninsula have climbed to 24, with the City of Frankston recording three cases. Cases have been recorded in Blairgowrie, Dromana, Capel Sound, McCrae, Mt Eliza, Portsea, Pt Leo, Rosebud, Rye, Safety Beach, Sorrento, and St Andrews Beach. The species where bird flue has been detected widened last week. Previously alldetections had been in either greater crested terns or silver gulls. Last week, there were single recorded events involving Australasian gannet, a black-faced cormorant and a little penguin at St Andrews Beach. The Frankston detections have been in greater crested terns and one silver gull. There continue to be grave concerns for Western Port Bay’s wetlands that are a critical habitat for wildlife, and home to 65% of threatened bird species in Victoria. If you find a sick or dead bird that you suspect could have H5 bird flu remember to: n AVOID contact with sick or dead wildlife and their environment. Do not touch, move or approach the bird, and do not allow pets to touch or eat sick or dead wildlife. n RECORD what you see, the location the animal was found, and take photos or video (if possible) without approaching the bird. n REPORT any unusual illness or death in wild birds and other wildlife immediately via the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillor Cam Williams has been found to have engaged in misconduct following a series of comments about fellow councillors. On 24 August, arbiter Noel Harvey OAM determined Williams had breached three clauses of the Model Councillor Code of Conduct in relation to two incidents in December 2025. The arbitration application was made by Cr David Gill and Cr Kate Roper in March 2026. The first allegation concerned an interview Williams gave to the Somerville Times on 13 December 2025, in which he made a number of comments about fellow councillors and council matters. According to the report, the comments included an allegation that Roper had leaked information to the media, comments about Gill insinuating IBAC scrutiny without evidence, and claims about the motives and conduct of other councillors. The second allegation referenced a “Council Watch” article Williams posted to his council Facebook page, which depicted councillors throwing money around. The post misstated previous arbitration costs as “hundreds of thousands of dollars”. The arbiter stated the actual cost as $1800. A hearing was conducted at the shire offices on 17 July, with Gill and Williams in attendance.

Williams acknowledged during the hearing he had exercised poor judgment, and a number of his statements were inappropriate. Harvey said in the report that as a result, the hearing focused less on whether the misconduct had occurred and more on the appropriate response. Williams described the incident as “two very stupid things” and said, “had he appreciated the likely consequences at the time, he would have acted differently”. Williams apologised publicly shortly after the incidents, removed the Facebook post, participated in mediation and governance processes, undertook further training, and said there had been no repetition of simi-
lar conduct since. Harvey acknowledged the apology was genuine and Williams had since demonstrated insight into his conduct. However, he found the earlier apology was expressed in general terms and did not address the reference to IBAC in relation to Gill or the inaccurate description of the cost of previous arbitration. Gill argued the comments caused reputational damage and had the potential to influence community perceptions. He requested a suspension of Williams for two to three months and a detailed public apology, specifically acknowledging any inaccurate statements made.
Harvey said he was not satisfied a suspension was warranted, as Williams took full responsibility, apologised, and took remedial steps. Williams has been directed to provide a written apology to the shire and to Gill and Roper. He must read the apology aloud at the next council meeting, which is scheduled for 29 September. The apology must acknowledge the inaccurate statements made and will be recorded in the official council minutes. At the 1 September council meeting, the arbiter’s report was tabled as an attachment to the meeting minutes.

Charity helping improve teen mental health through surfing Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au

OCEAN Mind, a therapeutic surfing charity that aims to improve young people’s mental health and relationships through surfing, is heading into its third season on the peninsula. Ocean Mind offers free six-week programs for young people experiencing mental health challenges, which run from September to May/June. Participants are paired with a volunteer mentor who teaches them to surf while also providing support and a listening ear. After completing the program, participants are offered a spot in a surf club, helping provide ongoing support and community connection. Rachael Parker founded Ocean Mind on the Surf Coast ten years ago before expanding to the peninsula two years ago. “My vision was for a little side project where I got to put a bit of passion into the work that I did,” said Parker. At the time, she worked in youth support and was looking for a worklife balance. “I was working with young people in the homelessness sector, and it was always very doom and gloomy, and I wanted to put some sunshine back into the work that I did,” said Parker. Ocean Mind now supports over 200 young people a year and has 160 volunteers. “Over the six weeks, our young people are learning not just to surf, but they’re learning communication skills, they’re forming relationships
outlet for feeling better and supporting myself with my mental health struggles and then, in turn, to do that for young people who are experiencing the same thing, I was very excited about it, and it felt quite natural too.” With the peninsula program entering its third year, Swann said the community response has been amazing. “We’ve had such an amazing community that comes back each season because they just can’t get enough,” said Swann. The program is continuing to grow, and Ocean Mind are looking to connect with more local volunteers and support services. Parker said keeping the programs free is a priority as mental health support shouldn’t be dependent on affordability. “We’re always looking for new funders that are interested in what we do and want to support the organisation,” said Parker. Ocean Mind’s next six-week programs will start in October. Young people aged eight to 18 can be referred by schools, health professionals, support services, or parents. You can find out more information or sign up to volunteer at: oceanmind. org.au.
with their mentors, and they’re forming relationships with each other and really building this sense of community,” said Parker. Parker said the program provides both physical and mental health benefits. “Just being physical, being outdoors, being away from home, moving your body, that’s all really proven to support our mental health and well-being,” said Parker. “And we know that being in blue spaces supports our mental well-
being, and being down at the beach, getting the vitamin D from the sun, being near the ocean, listening to the waves, being a bit more mindful and present in your environment.” Parker said surfing is exhilarating and requires complete concentration, helping participants practice mindfulness. “One of the big things that we see is young people have an opportunity to just really shut off that brain for however long we’re in the water for, and that could be the first time and the
only time that’s happened for them for that week,” said Parker. “It’s pretty freeing when you experience that after a very chaotic time in your mind.” Yasmin Swann, the program coordinator for the peninsula, said she became involved after hearing Parker speak at Pitch Up Geelong. “I’ve had mental health struggles, and surfing is one of the biggest outlets for me,” said Swann. “It really just like clicked for me that, of course, I use surfing as an

Privacy and safety concerns at Yawa following photography incident Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au A LOCAL resident has raised concerns over the handling of privacy and safety concerns at Yawa Aquatic Centre after photographs were taken of her without consent. On 22 August, Cynthia Morris was using the gym facilities at Yawa Aquatic Centre in Rosebud when she noticed a male member taking photos of her. She said he then turned and was taking photos of other female members at the gym. “I felt really uncomfortable,” said Morris. Morris said she immediately reported the incident to staff at the centre. “When I told [the staff member], she informed me that they already had another girl in the office with the same complaint,” said Morris. “That’s two women complaining they’ve been photographed on the same piece of equipment and a duration of time from each other.” Morris said she was told they were reviewing the footage and had made the individual delete any photographs that had been taken. “Then a week later, I’m back in the gym, and the same male comes into the gym and starts working out,” said Morris. “I had a panic attack, and I was taken out by management.” Morris said she spoke with the deputy managers, who told her the individual had been given a first and final warning and that was as far as

they could take it. Morris escalated her complaint to the area manager and the Mornington Peninsula Shire. She had a meeting with the area manager of Yawa on 2 September, who confirmed an investigation had taken place, and they were standing by their decision to continue letting the individual use the gym.
tor of Communities Cheryl Casey said the shire and the centre operator take visitor safety, privacy, and wellbeing seriously. “The centre operator conducted an investigation into the matter, which included reviewing available evidence and speaking with those involved,” said Casey. “Measures were put in place while
“When they were telling me what his rights are with regards to still being able to access the facility, I felt like someone had taken my privacy, my autonomy, my right to choose, and I felt quite violated,” said Morris. “My question is whether our privacy and our safety have been taken seriously enough.” Mornington Peninsula Shire Direc-
further enquiries were undertaken, and action was taken following the investigation.” “Policies and procedures regarding photography and filming are in place at the facility, and expectations are communicated to patrons.” Morris said the situation has impacted her ability to attend the facilities going forward. “For me, it’s not just where I work out,” said Morris. “It’s been a large part of getting me back in the community... It’s had a big impact not only on my life, my social life, but my professional life as well.” Morris works as a social worker and said she helps people access the gym and the warm water facilities. Morris was offered the opportunity to allocate three support people who could attend the facilities with her free of charge for six months. “Every offer that’s been made for my safety is in my own hands,” said Morris. “So, I can bring a support person; I can let staff know when I enter the facility, and they help me feel comfortable, but nothing around actually preventing this happening again.” She has now placed her membership on indefinite hold while she decides whether or not she feels comfortable using the facilities in the future. Morris said there should be greater concern for personal privacy and safety at the centre. “Everybody should feel that their privacy and safety are protected while they’re using a community facility,” said Morris.

Harrison Borthwick harrison@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN MP Anthony Marsh has written to the Premier of Victoria, Ben Carroll, offering the pothole tracker he built, roadtoruin.com.au, after the government announced it would be using taxpayer funds to build its own pothole tracker. Carroll announced last week there will been a new taxpayer funded website to report and track potholes across the state duplicating, according to Marsh, the website that is already available to use. Originally only rolled out for motorists in the Nepean electorate and then the Mornington electorate, Marsh has now rolled out the website statewide. Marsh admits his new site is “unashamedly political” but said potholes and road maintenance have become one of the most important issues to

people in his electorate. Marsh also noted that his new software is much more effective than anything that is currently being used. “The problem is, if you discover a road issue, you can already go to the VicRoads website and report it, but it’s not very intuitive. I have always found reporting local issues frustrating, often they’re text based, they will take the data and supposedly they will go and fix, but there’s no transparency and no visibility of that data,” said Marsh. “But this website is just easy to use. For example if you report a pothole and put in the address of the farm next to you that’s two-hundred metres long, it’s not even close to where the pothole is. I wanted to use something geospatial and driven by maps. It’s very easy to use GPS in your car and report the issue within a couple of metres.” According to Marsh since making his site available statewide on 1 September, its uptake and usage has
been strong. Over 130 potholes have been reported on the site since it became available statewide and potholes in forty-seven electorates have been reported. “When the Premier came out and announced that they’re going to create a website to report potholes, I just had to laugh because I don’t think reporting is the problem,” said Marsh. “The government knows the potholes are there, it’s about fixing them but it did incentivise me to go ‘Mine’s already there and it’s working, I might as well just make it Victoria wide’”. Carroll announced in a media release on 30 August that Labor is investing an extra $352m to double the number of potholes fixed this year from 250,000 to 500,000, while the Victorian Liberal Party’s policy states it will invest $5b in road maintenance over four years, if elected.

Supreme Court rules on childcare dispute Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au PLANS for a new childcare centre in Frankston South have stalled after a legal battle which ended up in the Victorian Supreme Court. The site at 253 Humphries Road is currently owned by Tueno Investments Pty Ltd, which also operates Beachwood Early Learning Centres at 53 The Fairway in Bonbeach and 105 Humphries Road in Frankston South. Last month, the Supreme Court ruled on an ongoing contract dispute between site vendor Tueno Investments and developer Saltworks Investments FS, which was planning to buy the land and lease it back to the original owner. Last year, Tueno Investments agreed to sell the land to the purchaser for $2.25m with a deposit of $112,500 subject to multiple “special conditions”. Tuneo Investments was required to obtain a planning permit for a 138-place childcare centre, and the parties were required to execute an Agreement for Lease and Lease for the Property within six weeks of issue of the planning approval. The initial 15-year lease would have started at annual payments of $4,650 per licenced place per annum. The Supreme Court found that the vendor had failed to obtain planning approval by a deadline of 30 September, 2025. Its finding noted that “the vendor’s evidence addresses its contentions as to why that occurred and seeks the court to conclude that it is arguable that this

was due to the conduct of the purchaser, or the architecture firm which shares a common director with the purchaser.” The parties did not subsequently enter into an AFL and lease, but on 27 January purchaser Saltworks Investments FS informed the vendor that “it elected not to rescind or terminate the contract by reason of the failure of the special conditions, but affirmed the contract instead and elected to proceed to settlement in six months on 27 July,
2026.” Saltworks Investments FS was the plaintiff at the Supreme Court, seeking to force settlement of the land without executing the agreed lease. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled against the plaintiff and dismissed the case, leaving the future of the site in limbo. The childcare plans had drawn opposition from local residents. Early last year Frankston Council granted a conditional permit for the
childcare centre, subject to the submission of further plans, despite nearly 200 objections (“Childcare plans proceed despite objections” The News, 1/4/26). The Supreme Court ruling noted that Frankston Council “issued a planning permit with endorsed plans for a childcare centre” on 18 June this year. The Supreme Court ruling read that “on 7 April 2026, the purchaser [Saltworks Investments FS] commenced this proceeding seeking a declaration
that the purchaser is entitled to call for settlement of the contract on 27 July 2026, without being required to negotiate the terms of an AFL and Lease in accordance with SC 19.2(ii) of the contract.” Section 19.2(ii) of the contract stipulated that “the parties must negotiate amendments in good faith and expeditiously with a view to execution by the execution date.” The court also considered Section 18 of the contract, which stipulated that “the vendor must at its cost use best endeavours to obtain the planning permit within a reasonable time after the contract date and, in any event, by 30 September 2025, or such later date as the parties agree in writing”; and that “if the planning permit is not issued by the permit date, then the purchaser may rescind the contract on 14 days’ written notice. On rescission, the deposit must be refunded to the purchaser and neither party may make a further claim against the other.” In its judgement, the Supreme Court found that “the satisfaction of [special conditions] 18 and 19 are essential conditions precedent to the obligations on the parties to proceed to settlement. That is, the parties are excused from performing their obligation to settle the contract in the absence of SCs 18 and 19 being fulfilled. Given that SCs 18 and 19 benefit both the purchaser and the vendor, the purchaser does not have a right to waive these conditions and call for settlement.”

AN Australian Bravery Decoration has been awarded to Jonathan Croft for rescuing a disabled resident from a house fire in Tootgarook on New Year’s Eve in 2023. Croft was walking when he heard fireworks being set off at a house 20 to 30 metres away. He began filming the fireworks before a flare shot across the road. Croft then heard a thud, followed by a loud scream, and saw the house catch on fire. “I didn’t really think anything; I just ran straight there,” said Croft. He saw a resident lying unconscious on the floor of the burning room. Croft picked up a concrete garden edge and used it to smash the window before entering the room and carrying the resident to safety. “I was happy to get her out,” said Croft. “No one else was going to help her and I wasn’t going to stand there and watch her burn to death in the window.” Croft said while he appreciated the recognition; the award was not necessary. “It’s pretty cool,” said Croft. “But I’d do it any day, really.” Croft was also awarded the CFA Citizen’s Commendation for Bravery in October 2025. The award is presented to a community member
who has performed an act of bravery in connection with CFA operations. Croft was one of 54 people recognised based on the recommendation of the independent council for the Australian Bravery Decoration. On 1 September, Governor-General Sam Mostyn announced 30 bravery decorations. “On National Wattle Day, I am proud to announce and congratulate the most recent recipients of Australian Bravery Decorations,” said Mostyn. “The Australians honoured today remind us of the strength and depth of the human spirit. They were each confronted with danger and chose to act – removing others from dangerous circumstances, including beach and sea rescues, motor vehicle accidents and other treacherous and, often, unimaginable situations.” Mostyn said this is the second Bravery list announced on National Wattle Day and is a continuation of the tradition established in 2025 to unite an important national day with recognition of bravery. “I want to acknowledge and thank those for whom an act of courage has left physical or emotional wounds that endure long after the emergency has passed,” the Governor-General said. “To all the brave Australians we honour today, thank you for your selfless and determined courage and care for others.”

Council endorses proposed alignment for Dromana shared path Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire have endorsed a preferred route for the proposed shared user path in Dromana following community consultation. The path will provide an active transport connection between Dromana, Safety Beach, and the education precinct on White Hill Rd. Two paths were originally proposed, but after community consultation and investigation, council officers recommended a third alignment along Collins Rd. At the 1 September council meeting, councillors unanimously endorsed the proposal for the 2B option, which offers long-term strategic connectivity. Cr Patrick Binyon, who moved the motion, noted any further planning or construction is subject to funding through the Capital Works Program. “As the council, we try to achieve the right outcome that balances longterm planning with our community safety goals, commitment to active transport, and our responsibility to protect the local environment,” said Binyon. The first option was a path along Boundary Rd, which provided the most direct connection but carried the highest biodiversity impacts and construction challenges. The 2A option was along Rainier Ave, which presents the lowest biodiversity risk and best road safety outcomes.

“We know public opinion on this was varied, and not everyone was convinced a path was needed,” said Binyon. “Option 2B was adapted based directly on community feedback, and making those adjustments demonstrates we are listening and responding to our plans to get the balance
right.” 2B provides similar environmental and safety benefits to 2A, as well as offering long-term connectivity including access to council-managed land along Boundary Rd. Binyon recognised options one and 2A were estimated to cost between $3.7m and $4.3m.
“This is not a small amount,” said Binyon. “Costing for option 2B is comparable to the cost of option 2A; however, there are possible opportunities to integrate sections of the shared path with the proposed Boundary Rd and Collins Rd development. This would reduce the cost for this
section.” Binyon said creating a path like this is a crucial step towards reducing traffic congestion and encouraging people to be more active. “Option 2B invests in our kids and active families,” said Binyon. “Having proper, safe infrastructure gives parents peace of mind and encourages children to ride to school.” Cr David Gill said he preferred the 2A option, but he can easily accept 2B, knowing council officers will make it work. “It’s just got to be a safe transport route firstly, and then it has to look after the environment and has to be accepted by the community,” said Gill. “I think we can do all those things.” Binyon said when you look at desktop mapping, the environmental differences are clear. “Option one cuts through more native vegetation and potential swampskink habitat, and we know that preliminary works show that option 2B is far less damaging and avoids high-value habitat, which reduces the clearing,” said Binyon. Binyon confirmed once the route is chosen, officers will conduct a full on-site assessment to verify plant species, check for wildlife, and secure the necessary offsets. Detailed cost estimates will be further refined once the project secures funding either through the shire’s Capital Works Program or other external grant funding opportunities.
Shire seeks feedback on community-led projects policy Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is seeking community feedback on its updated Community-led Projects Policy. At the 1 September council meeting, councillors voted unanimously to place the draft policy on public exhibition from 2 September to 30 September. The policy has been revised to simplify processes, provide clearer guidance, and create a more flexible and transparent approach to delivering community-led infrastructure projects. It will allow for a broader range of programs to be included and includes
an improved application process. Mayor Stephen Barry said partnering with clubs and groups to deliver projects that benefit the community is a top priority for the shire. “Clubs and community groups know what they need and are passionate about their projects,” said Batty. Batty said there are some cases where groups or clubs fully fund their projects while the shire oversees, or in other cases, the shire or state government may contribute to funding. “The bottom line is, we want to make it easy for the community to partner with us to deliver projects that benefit residents now and into the future,” said Batty. Cr Paul Pingiaro, who moved the
motion, said one of the peninsula’s greatest strengths is the capability of the community. “On the peninsula, our best resources and our best assets are our community, and this policy is about enabling community and delivering assets to show our genuine commitment to supporting those who support us,” said Pingiaro. A review into the existing policy revealed unclear processes, administrative complexities, and an unclear pathway from an idea to a completed project for community groups. “And yet, the results demonstrate why this program is worth improving,” said Pingiaro. “In the previous year, we spent $987,000 in grants, but that contributed
to $4.2m in improved community asset needs.” Pingiaro said the policy means recognising the value the community can contribute through funding, knowledge, volunteering, and partnerships. “If you’re part of one of these sporting clubs, a Rotary club, a Lions club, a friends group, or a community group, please put your input into this because this is how we help you guys deliver something with council’s help,” said Pingiaro. Cr Max Patton said this is one of the shire’s most successful programs and something he believes all councillors view as incredibly valuable. “I believe it’s important that when we have a community that is keen to
get something done, we become an enabler and I believe this policy and framework will build on the successes,” said Patton. Patton said the updated guidelines are expansive and highlight opportunities not only for community infrastructure but for several other community initiatives, including sustainability initiatives, culture and heritage projects, and well-being initiatives. “I believe this is the first of many steps in becoming community-centred council,” said Patton. Community members can provide feedback via the shire’s website at: mornpen.vic.gov.au/communityled or at one of the in-person feedback sessions.

I4MP endorse Melissa Goffin for Mornington contest Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula businesswoman Melissa Goffin has been endorsed by Independents for Mornington Peninsula to be their candidate for the seat of Mornington in the upcoming state election. “Melissa was selected following a rigorous application and selection process by a five-member panel appointed by the I4MP committee earlier this year,” said an email to I4MP members last Thursday (3 September). “We were looking for someone with the experience, independence, energy and community commitment to represent Mornington at the November state election, someone who lives in the electorate — and we believe we have found exactly that person.” Goffin is the founder and owner of Red Gum BBQ in Red Hill and Southern Family Foods in Seaford. After emigrating from the United States, Goffin worked as a high school teacher before building her own businesses. Goffin is the co-founder and chair of Women in Business Mornington Peninsula and Frankston, an organisation supporting women across the peninsula to grow their businesses and develop as leaders. She was also a founder and organiser of the 2017 Women’s March on Melbourne, which brought thousands of people together in support of women’s rights, equality and inclusion. Her leadership has been recognised well beyond the peninsula. She served

on the NAB Small Business Advisory Board and was named Women’s Agenda Emerging Female Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018. The email to I4MP supporters states “We believe Mornington deserves a representative who will listen first, think independently and put the interests of local people ahead of party politics”. “Melissa Goffin brings a rare com-
bination of entrepreneurial experience, community leadership, advocacy and practical experience. She knows what it means to create jobs, run a small business, lead people, build community and stand up for what she believes in. “Now we have the opportunity to help her take that experience to Spring Street”. Goffin told The News “Mornington
has been held by a single major party since its inception.” “We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. This community is begging for change. “We’ve watched essential local services go underfunded and infrastructure needs ignored by political machines that view our region as an afterthought. Parties make promises to
us but we are not their priority. We’ve had enough.” Goffin said she is “laser focused” on the cost of living crisis, and the costs of running a business. “There is one expectation of us, that we follow the rules, we absorb their decisions and the consequences they bring – and there’s another set of rules for them that always seems to work in their favour,” said Goffin. “We watch the cost of living rise, and then have to sit back and watch the government mismanage our money. “I know how hard it is to run a business in this environment. I know how much we give to our families and how hard we work to get ahead. I’m tired of waiting for change to happen and for someone to fight for us, so I’m doing it myself. “I fell in love with the peninsula and its way of life; its natural beauty, its tightly woven community, its small business culture. It offered the dream. And that dream is slipping away.” This is Goffin’s first foray into state politics, after unsuccessfully running for Red Hill Ward in the 2020 Mornington Peninsula Shire council elections. Goffin will look to build on the success of the independent campaign for the Mornington electorate in the 2022 state election. In that poll, Kate Lardner came in second in the first preference vote tally, and fell just 590 votes short of the eventual winner, Chris Crewther, in the two-candidate-preferred count.

Lawyer enters Mornington contest for One Nation Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au
ASHLI Beards. Picture: Supplied
ONE Nation has announced lawyer Ashli Beards as their Mornington electorate candidate for the November state election. Beards, who has been a member of One Nation since December 2025, was selected from “quite a few” potential candidates according to One Nation’s campaign coordinator for the Eastern Region, Harry Mulry. “For me, becoming involved with One Nation was a very organic experience,” said Beards. “I had become fed up with the majors and the mismanagement of the state. I was sick of seeing what was happening day to day and thought the community needed a real advocate.” Before being pre-selected, Beards worked in commercial and corporate law, after cutting her teeth in criminal law earlier in her career. “Criminal law was an eye-opening experience. Seeing how the criminal justice system works really influenced me.” Beards, who is a mother of two primary aged children, and a step-mother to two young adult children, sees costof-living pressure as a major issue. “There are people in the Mornington electorate who can’t afford to turn the heater on in their homes anymore,” said Beards. “The cost of living has fallen on the deaf ears of the major parties. The fact is that if you really understood people, you’d see these pain points and be advocating for these people.

“Members of parliament are supposed to be listening to us, and I feel my campaign is about getting back to basics. “Politicians seem more interested in photo opportunities than doing the hard work required. And these things shouldn’t just become a topic at election time either.” Beards, who grew up in Watsonia North and moved to the peninsula 14 years, told The News she is interested in protecting the peninsula from urban
sprawl. “One Nation has a detailed plan to fix the housing crisis,” said Beards. “That does not mean we are going to re-zone the green wedge just because Labor bought in too many people. Our peninsula is not a dumping ground for Labor’s failed policies and housing targets. “I’m here for the Mornington constituents - my job as an MP is to serve them, if they so choose. “How that plays out as we move
forward is up to the local people to decide.” Roy Morgan polling from 17 August showed that One Nation are poised to win around 10 seats in Victoria’s Upper House. That is short of the LiberalNational Party who are projected to win 11 seats, but ahead of Labor’s projected nine. Polling from 7 August shows a tight lower house “voting intentions” contest in Victoria with the LiberalNational Party and Labor both on 26% with One Nation not far behind on 23.5%. One Nation’s projected primary vote is a far cry from the 2022 state election, where the Liberal Party attracted 29.6% of the lower house primary vote, the National Party 4.77%, Labor 37.03% and One Nation just 0.22%. That equated to just 8077 votes out of the 3.6 million votes cast across the state. In Mornington, where Beards will contest the seat, One Nation did not field a candidate in 2022. In that contest, independent Kate Lardner managed to edge out Labor’s Georgia Fowler on primary votes and fell just 590 votes short of Liberal Chris Crewther in the two-candidate-preferred, leaving Crewther holding the seat with a 0.7 per cent margin. So far, for the 2026 poll, Beards will be joining incumbent Crewther, and a chosen but yet to be announced candidate endorsed by the Independents for Mornington Peninsula. There has been no word on a Labor candidate for the seat of Mornington.

Continued from Page 1 Ring said he told the council he wanted to be advised of any maintenance or works occurring on the field going forward. “They have to let us know exactly what they’re doing and when they’re doing it, which has been great,” said Ring. The shire confirmed it has been working with the contractor to remedy the situation and will continue to until the issue has been fully resolved. CEO Mark Stoermer said, “We’re aware of the significant angst that this has caused the community and we’re working with the contractor to remedy the situation as quickly as possible”. The shire declined to comment on the cost of the repairs or clarify whether the contractor or the shire would be responsible for covering any expenses. The News understands the cost is expected to be in excess of $1m, and attempts by the shire to make the contractor foot the bill have been unsuccessful, leaving ratepayers to pay for the contractor’s mistake. The shire has also announced plans are underway to revitalise the oval at Truemans Road Recreation Reserve after a flock of cockatoos destroyed the turf. The planned renewal project will include complete surface removal, major re-turfing, site preparation, turf establishment, and ancillary works. The shire is working to secure the necessary funding to begin construction.

Convenience store ‘targeted’ twice POLICE are investigating the causes of two separate fires which broke out at a Frankston convenience store last week. The Wells Street shop was “the target of a suspicious fire” in the early hours of 1 September, a Victoria Police statement read. At around 1.30am on 3 September, emergency services
were called out to another fire at the shop. Victoria Police alleges that a car was driven into the business during the second incident, and the offenders fled on foot. The shop was alight when emergency services arrived, police say. Nobody was believed to be inside during the fire. Victoria Police has
confirmed it is now investigating both incidents. “A crime scene has been established, and the investigation is ongoing,” Victoria Police said. “Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.”
A SOMERVILLE man was one of five men arrested last month as part of a police operation targeting criminal behaviour in the construction industry. On 24 August Taskforce “Hawk” investigators raided houses in Somerville, Chirnside Park, Westbury, Gisborne, and Powelltown. They arrested five people, including a 37-year-old Somerville man. In a statement, Victoria Police said that “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. This was in response to a number of fresh allegations of serious and violent criminal behaviour.” “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,” Victoria Police said. “Police are also instigating approaches with relevant industry stakeholders to gather intelligence, as well as working closely with a range of law enforcement partners, regulators and
government authorities. “Anyone with information about these matters is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.”
Young Street assault AN alleged assault at a Frankston 7/11 is being investigated by police. The alleged attack occurred at the Young Street store at around 11.15pm on 21 August. Police allege that the incident began with an argument between two men, and another man. Police allege that one of the two men pushed the victim to the ground, then punched him in the head. Police allege the attack knocked out the victim. The two men allegedly fled on foot towards Wells Street. Last week, police released an image of a man (below) they wish to speak to in relation to the alleged assault. Anyone who recognises the man can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report via www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Green wedge protected The news that the green wedge of land between Mornington and Mt Martha is to be protected is indeed heartening (“Bipartisan commitment to protect green wedge” The News, 1/9/26). As Melbourne expands at a furious rate such green spaces are important to have to avoid the effects of a concrete jungle and the damaging effects on our local climate and provide a healthy environment for the people of the peninsula. That said though I have a nagging doubts when both sides of politics are in furious agreement, it all sounds just a bit too cosy. It will be interesting to see how this green wedge fares after the election. Ross Hudson, Mt Martha
on “the home help lady”. There is a trend to outsource such services to unfamiliar, impersonal, disparate and often privatised alternatives. We know the consequences. The latest in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s crosshairs appears to be the Meals on Wheels program. Is the shire trying to do itself - and the community well-being and belonging it once embodiedout of existence? And at a purely mercenary level- what will I be getting back for my years as a ratepayer when I do finally need services? Maureen Donelly, Mornington
Kangaroos before politics
Given that air pollution from coal, oil and gas is linked to millions of deaths worldwide each year, and that their emissions are driving increasingly costly climate impacts, comparing coal, oil and gas corporations with toilet-roll manufacturers seems misplaced (“Global warming” Letters, 1/9/26). Yes, coal and gas companies provide energy, but they also profit from products whose pollution harms both people and the planet. Unlike a toilet-roll manufacturer, they have the capacity to pivot towards providing cleaner alternatives such as renewable energy. Continuing to reap enormous profits while contributing to disasters such as floods, fires and glacier collapses makes multinational fossil fuel corporations reluctance to move towards cleaner energy difficult to defend. Isabelle Henry, Ascot Vale
It’s disappointing to read that Craig Thomson seems more interested in partisan politics than protecting the Green Wedge (“Liberal’s plan?” Letters, 1/9/26). The reason we’re even having this discussion is because I raised the alarm about very real development risks in parliament. I’ll speak up whenever the Mornington Peninsula’s green wedge is under threat. It’s no coincidence Labor rushed out just days later to say the green wedge was safe. Craig’s response? To criticise the person who raised the alarm. How bizarre. Labor’s over-taxing and underinvestment on the peninsula is a very different issue, but one I raise at every opportunity. Given Craig represents Save Kangaroos on Mornington Peninsula, I would have thought he’d put the kangaroos before the politics. Anthony Marsh MP, Member for Nepean
Meals On Wheels
Meals On Wheels volunteers, customers and other concerned residents from all over the peninsula met this week to start a campaign designed to get council to back-down from their heartless decision to cease delivery of Commonwealth funded Aged Care Services. These services include the much appreciated Dial-A-Bus and Outings & Excursions as well as Meals On Wheels. We were shocked when council decided this at a confidential meeting on 9 June after a secret briefing by council officers. A date of 30 June 2027 was set. One of the main excuses was that the Commonwealth government was changing the funding and administration model. However we have since found out there has been a back-down on 20 August and the Commonwealth Home Support Program is to continue. Several municipalities have now reversed their decisions to cease services. We want our council to do the same. Meals on Wheels has been delivered for over 50 years. As well as nutritious meals tailored to individuals, it provides a welfare check from neighbours who care. We would like to remind the council that our area has one of the largest populations of older people in Victoria. Many of these have paid rates for a very long time. They need these services to enable them to have a decent quality of life in their own homes. Surely one of the main duties of local government is to provide appropriate services to vulnerable people and not leave them to the vagaries of the private profit-making sector. Joan Doyle, Dromana
Services disappearing
I remember walking back from the Infant Welfare Centre, as I think it was called then, with mum pushing the latest baby in the pram and me marvelling at the little book with the baby’s name, height and weight details. We were important to someone! We belonged and someone was checking we were okay. Belonging and wellbeing is best dispensed locally. It’s about community and community needs to be around a hub. That’s why we have a local government. But as our local council rapidly dismantles their role in community service provision we lose this crucial component of the social fabric. I remember the youth club, grandparents getting meals delivered and my neighbour relying

Odd comparison
Fossil fuels being replaced
John Dusting is right. The world remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels (“Global warming” Letters, 1/9/26). That is regrettable because burning them causes roughly three-quarters of humancaused global warming. But he is wrong to suggest getting off fossil fuels is impossible. It is already happening. In the first half of 2025, renewables generated more global electricity than coal for the first time. The International Energy Agency estimated that global investment in clean energy in 2025 would be about twice investment in fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are reducing oil demand, while heat pumps are replacing gas heating. Similarly, while oil and gas are currently important chemical feedstocks, they are not the only source of carbon. Plant oils, sugars, agricultural waste, and recycled plastics are providing alternative feedstocks, with bio-based detergents, plastics, cosmetics, paints and lubricants already being developed and commercialised. The choice is not between modern civilisation and fossil fuels. It is between continuing to burn fossil carbon for energy and finding cleaner ways to power and manufacture the things we need. John Godfrey, Cape Paterson
Pauline Hanson
So Pauline Hanson is accusing Labor of stirring up hatred and violence against her. However let’s look at her record and ask if she has maybe contributed to an acceptance of hatred and violence in the community. There is her record of employing a convicted rapist, of utilising Avi Yemeny, as her key media support, a man convicted of assaulting his wife and of course the infamous interview with Tommy Robinson, a man who happily promotes violence and has been convicted of fraud and assaulting a police officer. Pauline has claimed that schoolchildren are being subjected to “dangerous ideology”, has targeted transgender and Muslims claiming they are taking over Australia, accused Labor of trashing “Western values” and accused workers of being lazy, saying it should be easier to sack them. Of course, Pauline should not be subjected to threats or require police security to protect her. In a democracy we should be free to express our views as long as they do not harm others and there is never an excuse for violence and threats. However, using the language of hate can create an atmosphere of tolerance of violence. The PM has constantly called for all MPs to tone the language down and move to a more civil discourse, however Ms Hanson appears deaf to those pleas. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Shop firebombed twice in three days It is clear that organised crime is targeting tobacco stores in Frankston as the latest firebombing in Wells Street shows. A convenience store was rammed by a car and then set alight completely destroying the shop but nobody was injured. This was the second time as in three days the store was targeted. Police and firemen attended the premises with a forensic person gathering evidence at the scene. The Coalition is now promising to cut cigarette excise by 80 per cent, if elected at the next election in two years time, to stop organised crime. It could help save premises from being firebombed if bollards were made compulsory in front of tobacco stores to protect the premises and staff. If the excise cut does have some effect on
The dog poo fairy
Along the McCrae foreshore, some dog walkers pick up their dog’s poo with a plastic bag. Well done. Thank you. But others pick it up then drop the plastic bag beside the path or nearby. What? Why? No-one magically comes along each night to pick up your litter. Warwick Spinaze, Rosebud
What about the loser?
Dear MP News. You gave frontpage coverage for the premiership win of the Under-14 girls of the Mornington Junior Football Club (“Girls grab win in historic first” The News, 1/9/26), but who were the no-doubt heartbroken last-minute losers? There was no mention of them! David Cramond, Mornington Editor’s note: Touché!Mornington under 14s beat the under 14 girls from Berwick Junior Football Club.
Channelling W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Let the conveners of the CFMEU Royal Commission come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message “The rorts are dead”, Tell the “stop and go sign” strippers to go back to their old jobs, Hand out the last paper bag full of cash, while the bikie standover man sobs. It was the Suburban Rail Link, the West Gate project and the Metro Tunnel, They looked like worksites, but were just a giant cash funnel, It was only fifteen billion, why was it so wrong? I thought Labor would keep this going forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out everyone; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For this Royal Commission can never come to any good. C Jenkins, Tyabb
the amount of illegal cigarettes being sold the crime organisations could continue to intimidate and cause firebombing of cigarette legal sellers of tobacco. American Tobacco has warned that they will pull out of Australia if the government does not cut the tobacco excise. The coalition as part of its policy to cut tobacco excise by 80% may also be looking after legal tobacco companies for valuable election funding donations. The government may, in putting up the excise of cigarettes, not only stop people from smoking but also may force legal tobacco companies out of Australia. More people are smoking because of organised crime cheap tobacco products such as cigarettes and vapes. Russell Morse, Karingal
BarleyCharlie@90
The older one gets the crankier? Points of view, aka variations, (seemingly) rewritten every decade. For a short spell in the early 1950’s happy with the £10 poms, but not the Greeks - the clincher around age 16; Lorraine, the secret love of my life’s new boyfriend was a new Australian - Italian! OMG, why? Last week’s letter from Dr Sarah Russell, highlighted, and well in excess of the allowed 300 words maximum, in fact a classic on local racism. Unconnected obviously but for me, a touch of the Karl Marx, in Russell’s favour. No fan of Alister Clarkson but harshly treated. A good coach is a good coach, age irrelevant, the necessary cattle significant. Artificial intelligence, less choice, bigger danger. Understanding is by and large a piece of cake, the bigger danger; application? The Asian Ladies, as in a special for ageing old men at $10 for fingernails, much appreciated, but they never speak to me, thus many imaginations why? Not even a smile? I leave the scooter outside, walking stick in? Maybe drive in; almost every passing stranger gives a smile, a hello, on my scooter? More seriously Zoe McKenzie, not known? Nonsense! Zoe is our MP for goodness sakes, well, truthfully Sorrento and Portsea, stretched to Blairgowrie? To fight organised crime and illegal tobacco. We wish Zoe every success, particularly if she shuts up the self-congratulating Rudd. Our mate Pauly (Keating) refuses to allow old age to handicap him - “Timidity (Richard Marles?) is like a virus in the bloodstream” referencing US troops deployment, nuclear-powered subs. Not forgetting the “full steam ahead” nonsense, AUKUS, from our Albo? Fronted by a friend last week, in his 50’s or thereabout, reads my stuff, asked “Who else reads it?” “Don’t know, don’t care,” I replied. “So why do you do it?” Good question. If he’s lucky, he might understand, in 30 years. Had the choice Friday evening, SBS News (Trump, Nepal, Vladimir Putin) or AFL, the threat of a Carlton victory, shudder. We thank the cats. Fremantle next week, a bridge too far. Either way, no Pies no stress. Stay nice. Cliff Ellen, Rye

THE DROPOUT
ABC TV, 8.20pm
SBS2, 8.30pm
This witty take on the many-murders-in-aquaint-British-village genre stars Timothy Spall (pictured) as John Chapel, a retired actor best known for playing TV detective Inspector Charles Caesar. When one of his neighbours turns up dead, the reclusive star devises a theory that an ulterior motive is at play and gets roped into helping solve the real-life crime. Acting as his perky foil and dragging him into the case is detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth), who also happens to be Chapel’s biggest fan. An especially enjoyable entry into the cosy murder genre, this Welsh series bubbles along thanks to a bristling chemistry between its leads, even if the set ups do get a trifle silly at times.
Imagine being able to scan for hundreds of diseases using a single drop of blood, all in the comfort of your own home. Such was the allure of Theranos, the US company that set out to revolutionise medical diagnostics and the lives of billions of people. Based on the podcast of the same name, this eight-part limited series charts the meteoric rise and fall of Theranos and its enigmatic founder, Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried, pictured). To understand how it all went wrong, The Dropout takes us back to the beginning, when Holmes was an optimistic student who left Stanford University in 2004 to pursue her ‘great idea’. Despite a lack of proof, legions of investors bought into Holmes’ claims, charisma and ambition.

SBS2, 9.35pm
Audiences familiar with Mel Giedroyc’s (pictured) sunny and wholesome persona as the original co-host of The Great British Bake Off might be slightly shocked by the comedian’s edgier approach to this panel show. Inviting celebrities to confess their most unforgivable acts, shameful anecdotes and embarrassing moments, Giedroyc sits on a throne and assigns points as her utterly unpredictable sidekick Lou Sanders keeps score. Graham Norton gets the ball rolling in this premiere, revealing a lie to his mother that went too far, while Desiree Burch and Alex Brooker also share mortifying mishaps. It’s essentially just another chat show, but with a silly and saucy twist that makes it worthwhile. 1109

Frankston High School foundation stone laid Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE foundation stone of Frankston’s £18,000 High school was laid this afternoon in the presence of a large gathering, including Sir Alexander Peacock (Minister of Education), Hon. A. Downward (Minister of Lands), officers of the Education Department, the Shire president (Cr. W. Hutchinson), and. councillors of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. The ceremony of laying the stone was performed by Hon. A. Downward, after which an adjournment was made to the Masonic Hall, where the visitors were entertained by members of the High School Welfare League. Dr. C. Maxwell, president of the High School Council, presided. *** Back to Frankston movement suggested At the annual meeting of the Frankston H. & A. Association held last Wednesday night, Messrs. C. Parnell and D. McFarlane, representing the Frankston Traders’ Association, put forward a suggestion that a “Back to Frankston” movement should be taken up. Mr. Parnell said that the Traders had not gone fully into the matter, but were desirous of ascertaining whether the show committee would support the idea. Mr. McFarlane said that a similar movement had been arranged in other towns and proved a great success. Cr. Montague said he had been in a town where a similar celebration had been in progress and was surprised to see the tram loads of visitors arriving daily. Mr. McFarlane produced a souve-
nir programme in connection with the “Back to Sale” movement held recently. Mr. Gamble was not opposed to the idea, but would like fuller details. Mr. Hanton, secretary, said that Cr. Pratt had spoken to him regarding the proposal, and had made it clear that there would be no responsibility on the show committee. Mr. G. Keast thought the idea a good one. Cr. Oates also supported, but thought they should have more definite information regarding the amount of work involved and the expense. Mr. W. C. Young, said such celebrations were designed to raise money. A “Back to Leongatha” movement was now being organised to raise money for their park. If Frankston organised for January next to include the show day, the takings at the gate would be materially increased. It was resolved on the motion of Cr. Montague, seconded by Mr. Jacobs, that two representatives from the show committee be appointed to discuss the project with the Traders’ Association. The president (Cr. Wells) and Mr. M. Jacobs were appointed to attend the next Traders’ meeting. The president, who expressed himself strongly in favor of the “Back to Frankston” movement thanked Messrs. Parnell and McFarlane for placing the matter clearly before the meeting. *** Naval Depot win final There were more shattered hopes after Saturday’s match at Frankston, when Somerville had to surrender to Naval Depot in the final.
Last year Somervillle met Mornington in the final, but were defeated. There is no need to say what happened to Mornington in the grand final. This year Somerville has shown good, and bad form, playing some really good games and occasionally some poor ones. When they met Mornington in the semi-final recently they were full of dash and swept Mornington off their feet at the start, eventually winning well. There was none of this sparkle about the team on Saturday on opening,for, they seemed slow to get going. Naval Depot was just the reverse, and beating their men repeatedly the Navy soon had the score going. It was a good performance to win the premiership in 1924-25-26 and all will join in congratulating the Depot on their fine achievement. They had three captains this year, First T. Deayton, then C. Price, and finally L. Lock, the two former had to retire temporarily owing to injuries, and each has done his share, also the whole team, who have played the game like men and looked for the ball only. Somerville team, having lost, might be said by some to have all played badly. They didn’t. *** CHELSEA COURT Wednesday, September 6. Before Cr. H. A. Hunter (chairman), Cr. J. A. Boyd and D. Bowman, J.’sP. SAFETY FIRST. In the case of J. M. Campbell v. Mrs. M. Graham in which rent for four weeks was claimed, some peculiar evidence was forthcoming.
Mr. Wadham appeared for defendant. The plaintiff stated in evidence that he was owner of property at Aspendale that was let to defendant on lease and payable weekly in advance at 30/ per week, and a claim was made for four weeks from July 25. Mr. Wadham objected to witness when he stated the place was let to undesirables at £2/10/- a week. Witness, proceeding, said these tenants had left and took the keys,which he had been unable to recover. Application had been made by his agent, Mr. Griffiths, to find defendant’s address, which owing to removal, he was unable to do. The consequence was he had to change the locks, of which keys were held that could be handed over if the defendant had come along. Mr. Wadham interjecting: “Is it not true you have had time to consider your legal position? Do you still recognise the defendant as your tenant? Witness: Well, I hardly know how I stand and have come along to the court to find out. Mr. Wadham pressed his question, thinking the evidence was completed. Witness: I have not yet finished my evidence. Mr. Wadham: I apologise. Witness then proceeded to state defendant had property to a certain value, but Mr. Wadham objected. On cross-examination, witness said he put the locks on after he took out the summons on the same day. He put the locks on as much as anything to safeguard defendant’s property. William Oswald Griffiths, estate agent, Aspendale, gave evidence of
receiving rent from tenants of Mrs. Graham and forwarding out of it the rent to Mr. Campbell. He had made efforts to find Mrs. Graham, who spoke to him over the telephone, but he had told her to call on him, which she had not done. Mr. Wadham said the rent would have been paid if his client could have had possession. It was all moonshine about the locks being placed on the premises to protect his client’s property. She had not heard of her tenants being turned out, and when she came down found the place barred and locked she had gone to Campbell’s place, but found him out. M. Graham, married woman, Malvern road, Malvern, defendant, said she took possession on March 29 and later sub-let under arrangements. She had recently removed from Northcote. She had no intimation of the place being empty till she received her summons. She went to Aspendale on August 26, with a friend, Mrs. Wilson, and her children, but found a new lock on the gate, and on the window. She came down since, and an both occasions Mr. Campbell was not at home. She notified Mr. Griffith of her removal. Mrs. Mary Wilson gave corroborative evidence of accompanying Mrs. Graham to put in the weekend, and had to return. They went to the agent’s, but he was not in. An order was made for £6 with 6/costs. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 10 September 1926

Sharing the spotlight with Stephen will be powerhouse vocalist Jaz Flowers, who makes her highly anticipated return to the stage after a decade, as the enchanting Lady of the Lake for the Melbourne season. Seasoned performer and Perth standout, Jamie Rolton will reprise the hilarious role of Patsy opposite Stephen Curry’s bumbling King Arthur. Joining them is a talented community of hilarious performers that includes rising stand-up comedian and Tik Tok sensation Nick White, tackling the formidable role of Man of Many Characters; NIDA Graduate and up and coming performer Gareth Isaac as Sir Robin; emerging star and WAAPA graduate Jesse Vasiliadas as Sir Lancelot; with Perth season alumni Noah Skape as Sir Galahad and Ethan Jones as Sir Bedevere respectively. Rounding out our talented ensemble is Grace Williams, Emily Huynh, Danielle Gibson, Jacinta Tsakalos, Will Basson, Jack Coyne, Dominique Hamilton and Ethan Churchill.

Bradshaw gets his break to represent Australia Harrison Borthwick harrison@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON South resident Gary Bradshaw is preparing to take to the world stage later this year as he heads to England to represent Australia at the WPA blackball pool championships. The tournament, which will be played at Heathrow between the 20-28 October, will be the first time Bradshaw will be representing Australia. Bradshaw was first introduced to the game while in primary school after his dad bought a table. He now plays four to five times a week at JD’s Pool Hall in Frankston, where he has been a member for thirty years. “To make an Australian side is something I never thought I would do. It’s pretty incredible,” said Bradshaw. Bradshaw qualified for the WPA championships at a tournament in Rockingham in Queensland earlier this year which had over four-hundred participants. He was initially in the area for work but along with a mate decided to enter the competition. His team lost in the preliminary final of the tournament, but it was enough for Bradshaw to qualify. In the meantime, Bradshaw will be working on his craft to take on the world’s best come October.
“We will do as much practice as we can. It’s just a matter of making sure, like anything, that you’re in top order when you actually go over there and play that level because if you’re not you will get found out really quickly playing against the best from all around the world,” said Bradshaw. “I know what to expect. I’ve watched a lot of the top-level Englishbased pool, and those guys are amazing to watch and we’re coming up against some of those guys, so it’s going to be a tough week but it’s going to be an awesome experience travelling overseas with Australia on my back. It’s a massive opportunity.” While representing Australia, Bradshaw is hoping to shake the reputation of pool being exclusively a game for bikies and thugs, and rather a game for everyone to enjoy. “We’ve had many people come through our club at JD’s (pool hall) and have had people just enjoy the game. It’s a very addictive and fun game. Long-gone are the days of smoked filled bars full of drunks, it’s now a game for everyone.” “There’s now venues right around Victoria and Australia hosting tournaments, over both summer and winter, or you could just hire a table with some mates and enjoy the game for what it is.” GARY Bradshaw (right) with pool teammates Mal Bailey and Dan Lynch.

FV deals Strikers bitter blow SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers and Football Victoria are at loggerheads over the decision to play a catch-up game against Mooroolbark at Jack Thomas Reserve in Berwick on Tuesday night. Strikers’ recent match with the Barkers at Centenary Park had to be abandoned after Max Civil of Strikers suffered a badly broken leg late in the first half with the visitors leading 1-0. The loser of Tuesday’s clash will be relegated from State 2 South-East. A draw will be enough to keep Strikers from the drop but it goes into this season-defining battle without Matt Harrington and without both goalkeepers so as we went to press the local club was scrambling to sign another keeper on an emergency transfer. Strikers expected to retain home ground advantage for the catch-up fixture and Mooroolbark had agreed to play at Centenary Park this Saturday. Then came FV’s bombshell decision. Strikers will make a last-ditch appeal to FV to try and change the fixture but FV has a record of intransigence in such matters. The local club was left seething at its treatment last week when the catch-up decision was made. “They cannot give me a reason why they made this decision,” president Adrian Scialpi said. “We’ve been trying all week and no-one will talk to us or consider what we have to say in fact we’ve been treated with utter disrespect.” FV has effectively forced Strikers to play two away games against Mooroolbark this season. No-one can find anything in the 2026 rules of competition that supports the federation’s decision indeed there is no rhyme or reason for it. Strikers have recently been dragged slowly but surely into a relegation battle and last weekend’s 1-0 away loss to Knox City combined with Mooroolbark’s 2-0 home win over already-relegated North Caulfield set up Tuesday’s do-or-die fixture. In State 1 Mornington fans can be excused for believing that their club is cursed and destined to never reach the elite club level of the sport in Victoria. Not for the first time the Seagulls have stumbled in the home straight. They gave up a two-goal lead away to league champion South Springvale last Tuesday and had to settle for a 2-2 draw then lost Saturday’s away clash 2-1 to Doveton. A draw with the Doves would have clinched second spot and a promotion play-off against State 1 North-West’s Upfield. On Tuesday night Mornington took the lead in the 11th minute when James Kelly hit the target with a nice strike from the edge of the area. The Seagulls made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute with a Nathan Sim header from a corner. But injury forced Sim off three minutes later and momentum began to swing late in the half. South Springvale found a way back into the contest in the 79th minute when a deflection fell into the path of Aaron Dunbar and a few minutes later Thomas Simos completed the comeback. Against Doveton the Seagulls started brightly but couldn’t capitalise and the Doves went ahead from the penalty spot after Luke Goulding had brought down his opponent inside the area. Damir Soilovic converted from the spot. Mornington switched to a 3-4-3 in the second-half and began finding more space but Doveton keeper Thomas Hull produced several important saves. Doveton doubled its advantage in the 81st minute when former Mornington player Halil Reki skipped past Seagulls’ keeper Kane Runge and finished calmly. Imagine what the Mornington bench thought as Reki celebrated in front of them. A thunderstorm then forced both teams from the field for around 10 minutes and when play resumed Mornington pushed forward relentlessly. A deep ball from Ryan Paczkowski found Kelly who got in front of his opponent and was
brought down inside the box. Referee Perry Mur point to the spot and Kelly converted and although Mornington threw everything at Doveton in the closing stages it was to no avail. It was a painful end to a campaign in which Mornington needed just three points from its final three matches to secure a promotion playoff. So where to now for the Seagulls? With a newly laid home pitch awaiting them attention now turns to gaffer Adam Jamieson and his squad. Who stays, who goes and whether Mornington can finally make the next step remains to be seen. Skye United signed off on a dismal season when going down 5-1 at home to Banyule City last weekend. Shameit Sharma scored for the locals who only won twice this year and finished on the bottom of the table. In State 4 Baxter was relegated after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Rosebud. In a game largely controlled by Rosebud with Baxter offering little going forward the visitors had the two better chances of the first half both falling to Mark O’Connor. In the 52nd minute against the run of play Baxter striker Jai Power was taken down inside the box and he had no trouble converting from the spot. Rosebud rung the changes with a triple sub and that worked with Connor Wharton finishing superbly on his left foot past Colby Jones in the 62nd minute. Baxter huffed and puffed but with very little threat going forward and its cause wasn’t helped when Power was substituted in the 80th minute with the home side needing a goal to save its season. Chelsea signed off on a season of disappointment when going down 4-0 away to Riversdale on Saturday. The club touted by many as a genuine title contender finished fourth following a stuttering second half of the season where it suffered the ignominy of a 2-2 draw at home to cellar dweller Greater Dandenong clearly the worst team in the league. In State 5 both Somerville Eagles and Seaford United finished the season in style last weekend. Two Tom Simmons goals gave Somerville a 2-1 home win over Yarra Jets while a Dylan Waugh hat-trick underpinned Seaford’s 5-1 hammering of Fortuna 60 at North Seaford Reserve. Jay McCabe opened Seaford’s account in the 29th minute when running onto a long ball and finishing from a one-on-one with Fortuna keeper Brodie Inglis. Three minutes later it was 2-1 when Waugh smashed the ball in from close range following a Conor McFall corner.
Waugh grabbed his second and gave Seaford a 3-0 half-time lead when a superb diagonal from Matt Cobb found Blake Hicks at the far post who headed back across goal for Waugh to finish. Fortuna’s sole reply came in the 51st minute through Dylan Cassar-Cummings but Waugh completed his hat-trick when played in by McFall and producing a right-foot strike to make it 4-1. The home side wrapped up a successful day with a superb Matt Davis finish from the edge of the box in the 87th minute. Waugh scored seven goals in the last two games of the season to nab the league’s Golden Boot award a goal clear of Peter Kartsaklis of Monash Villareal and three goals clear of Somerville’s Tom Simmons. In State 6 Mount Eliza blew its hopes of a fourth-placed finish and a promotion play-off with Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Old Melburnians. The match seemed destined to be scoreless until Sam Dowling put the visitors ahead in the 91st minute but a minute later Noah Green equalised. Mount Eliza finished fifth equal on points with fourth-placed Old St Kevins with the same goal difference but with one less win. Frankston Pines and Old St Kevins drew 3-3 at Monterey Reserve last weekend. After a goalless first half the deadlock was broken in the 48th minute when Said Uygur clipped a ball into the right channel for top scorer Kenny Akalan to take a touch then finish into the bottom corner. That duo combined five minutes later with Akalan poking home his second. St Kevins pulled one back in the 64th min-
ute when Josh McMonagle-Ihasz was given too much time on the edge of the box and rifled home a great strike into the top corner. Young Tom Oswell made it 3-1 in the 67th minute when his tenacity caught the last defender in possession then he calmly lifted the ball over advancing St Kevins keeper Dale George for a superb finish. The visitors came hard at Pines in the closing stages. Adam McKeon made it 3-2 from the penalty spot in the 78th minute then in the last minute of normal time Pines didn’t react quickly enough to a free-kick that hit the defensive wall before coming back into the area where substitute Anthony Mallon poked home the equaliser. Mentone lost 6-0 on Saturday away to Casey Panthers to bring the final curtain down on a season where it failed to win or draw ending on zero points with a minus 71 goal difference. In State 7 Aspendale was in a celebratory mood after drawing 1-1 away to Boronia last weekend. The result along with Keysborough District’s 1-0 home loss to Glen Waverley clinched third spot and promotion for Jason Grieve’s men. Last year Aspendale dropped down two leagues due to a major overhaul of the State Leagues’ set-up so there’s no better way to react than to bounce back at the first opportunity. Aspendale had to come from behind to clinch an away point against Boronia. In the 35th minute Mitch Hodder’s misplaced pass was picked up by Dylan Phoeung who finished with a fine strike past Aspendale keeper Josh Mravljak. Two minutes into the second half Tom Machin’s corner caused panic in the Boronia defence and Oscar Carter pounced to equalise. Mount Martha showed great determination to come from behind with 10 men and draw 1-1 at home to Endeavour Hills on Saturday. The visitors led in the 18th minute after veteran striker Matty Durand hit a trademark leftfoot free-kick from the edge of the area. In the 70th minute Mount Martha’s Adam Steele was sent off after being shown a second yellow card but that didn’t shake the home side’s resolve. In the 83rd minute left back Wil Holman found space inside the box and slammed his half-volley into the top corner to level. It was no more than the home side deserved. Mount Martha has over 30 junior boys’ teams with two strong under-17 sides and a strong under-18 outfit. The club is looking forward to seeing some of these boys transitioning into the senior program next season.
