The pie don’t lie
Rob Boyle 182632
Rob Boyle, of Rob’s British Butchery, has baked up his own version of a World Cup oracle. On 5 July, the flamboyant Dandenong foodie dished up a three-kilogram pork pie depicting a soaring goal and declaring the quarter-final score ‘England 3, Sweden 1’. Time will tell if he is telling a ‘pork pie’ so to speak - with the two sides due to face off at midnight on 8 July. Let’s hope for Mr Boyle’s sake, we don’t get a repeat of the famous British tabloid headline: Swedes 2, Turnips 1. His pies have proven prophetic in the past - correctly predicting Manchester United’s winning scoreline against Liverpool 20 years ago. Mr Boyle is confident that England, after so many false dawns, might actually win the World Cup. “I think we’ve got as good a chance as any.”
Road to disaster It started out as a boozy celebration of Seng Ken’s new job. The 35-year-old downed mixed vodkas with friends at Sin City strip club in Dandenong and with several medications in his system, he made the fateful decision to drive just before 1am on Saturday 19 November 2016. It was a course of action that seriously wounded another road user. It landed Ken in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court nearly two years later. Ken drove into the ‘No Entry - Buses Excepted’ area of Langhorne Street, egged on by a passenger in the back seat. He waited at the Lonsdale Street T-intersection for the bus traffic lights to turn green.
Running out of patience, he looked both ways, turning left slowly through a red ’B’ light. And he then heard a crash, and saw a motorcyclist flying through the air. Just beforehand, police on patrol saw the motorbike with its headlamp on. It was travelling at about 70-80 km/h in the 60km/h zone, weaving as if to warm up tyres, they say. Police rendered first aid to the rider, who has since remembered nothing of the crash. He spent up to 14 weeks in hospital, and endured two emergency surgeries. His toes, spine and femur were broken, his tibia crushed with damage to his foot, hip, sciatic nerve and knee. Ken’s blood-alcohol reading was 0.094. Forensic scientists also detected two types of anti-depressants and two anti-psychotic drugs.

A small bag of cannabis was seized from his car. At those levels, Ken was deemed incapable of properly controlling a vehicle, police told the court. Ken told a police interview that he’d drank up to eight mixed vodka drinks that afternoon and night, as well as smoking a joint. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing serious injury, driving under the influence and possessing cannabis. A defence lawyer told the Dandenong hearing on 2 July that Ken stopped at the intersection and thought “there must be some fault with the road-light system”. “He took off and hit the motorcycle.” Just a week before the hearing, Ken had been discharged as a hospital psychiatric pa-
tient, the lawyer said. Ken had a long history of psychiatric problems. He’d been admitted to hospital at least six times since arriving from New Zealand 14 years ago, the lawyer told the court. Magistrate Pauline Spencer said it was a difficult case given the serious offences. She ordered a Forensicare report to assess Ken’s mental health issues for sentencing, as well as whether he had been prescribed the drugs at the time of the crash. She also requested whether Ken had been advised on the dangers of mixing alcohol with the medicine. Ken faced a minimum driving disqualification of two years, which would run from 2 July. He will be sentenced at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 10 October.

Car crash arrest was ‘entertaining’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells Two men have been dramatically arrested by police after fleeing from an allegedly stolen car that crashed into a house in Springvale. Emergency services were called to the scene at the corner of Springvale Road and Stephenson Street about 12.25pm on 5 July. Police say the Holden Commodore reportedly crossed the Springvale Road median strip before crashing through the property's fence and becoming stuck between a brick garage and fence. None of the home's occupants were injured by the crash, police say. An eyewitness and media student Cameron Osterlund, of Springvale, said heavy white smoke issued and the engine revved "on and off" as the driver tried to escape in the entrapped car. "At first I thought it was just a fire and I called triple-zero. "Then I realised that there was a crash." One of the fire fighters smashed the car window and snatched away the car keys, Mr Osterlund said. It was fortunate no one was injured when the car crossed over the busy road, he said. Two of the men tried to flee over fences when police arrived at the scene. A crowd of people looked on as the pair were chased down on foot and arrested by the officers. One of them attempted to cross through the Springvale Road traffic, Mr Osterlund said. "It was quite entertaining," Mr Osterlund said of the surreal scene that unfolded. "I can look back on it now and think what a ride and what a rush." He comprehensively tweeted about the incident, stating: "Seriously never seen a fire truck stop so fast. "I forgot to mention he's not wearing any pants for some reason, neither of them were when they got out of the car... It's maybe 12 degrees so clearly something wrong," was another of his comments. "The poor people on the corner now have a busted up front yard and a few fences to replace." One of the arrested men was to be taken to hospital under police guard with non-life threatening injuries. The other was in custody assisting with enquiries, police say. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

No rescue for ratepayers A State Government recycling-industry rescue package is unlikely to save ratepayers from higher waste charges this year, a local government peak body says. The Government's $37 million Recycling Industry Strategic Plan announced on 3 July was a "relatively small investment", says Municipal Association of Victoria chief executive Rob Spence. The package includes a $13 million fund to help councils hit by higher recycling costs between March and 30 June this year. "That had already been announced and there's no extension to that," Mr Spence said. "If the package works it could have medium to long term impact, but not short term to assist the ratepayers and councils." Greater Dandenong Council, as well as many councils nationwide, recently passed on higher recycling costs to ratepayers in the wake of a global recycling export crisis. In 2018-'19, the default waste charge for local ratepayers rose by $53 per property. Greater Dandenong engineering services director Julie Reid said councils had been fortunate to receive income from recycling for the past 10 years. "This was primarily due to strong commod2 STAR JOURNAL

ity markets, largely driven by China's global demand." The diminished value for recyclables now meant councils had to pay recyclers to accept household waste, Ms Reid said. "There are no additional costs associated with emptying the bins (collections) themselves, however costs will escalate for the processing of household recyclables." The Government strategy includes funds to reduce recycling contamination and identify new uses for recycled materials. Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D'Ambrosia said the strategy was a "new plan". It would reduce waste and costs to households and build a more resilient recycling sector in Victoria, she said. "This plan will create a more stable and productive recycling sector, improving the quality of recycled materials and developing new markets for them." Victorian Local Governance Association chief executive Kathryn Arndt welcomed the development of a procurement framework for recycled-material products and the banning of single-use plastics.
Road-rager wields blunt weapon A driver of a small hatchback has pursued and smashed up another vehicle with a ratchet-like tool in a bizarre road rage incident at Doveton, a court has heard. The 30-year-old man in a Toyota Yaris cut off the victim's car on Frawley Road about 6.50am on 16 February, police told Dandenong Magistrates' Court. He got out of his car and asked the victim why they had entered his lane. The other driver replied: "What are you talking about?" The enraged accused then struck the car's windscreen with his hand, and hit and broke the right-side rear-view mirror. The other driver called triple-0 as he drove off and was followed by the accused. The accused overtook and parked in front of the victim's car. He got out and struck the car's bonnet three times with a tool like a "metal ratchet" while the victim was still talking to the triple-0 operator. Heeding the advice of the operator, the victim drove to Dandenong police station. He was pursued and overtaken again. The chase ended as the driver approached the police station. In a police interview, the accused admitted damaging the other car. He had been "upset" as he got out of his car, he told police. He stated he was on psychiatric medication at the time. Defence lawyer Aaron Eidelson told the court on 2 July that his client wrote to the victim, apologising for his "inexcusable behaviour". The accused undertook that it wouldn't happen again, Mr Eidelson said. The former Afghan asylum seeker had spent a year in detention on Christmas Island 10 years ago. He helped support his 10 close siblings, and had just started visiting a psychologist. Magistrate Pauline Spencer said the accused's reaction had been "extreme" but noted his remorse and lack of priors. "I'm confident with (the) intervention from a psychologist we won't see a repeat of this type of behaviour." The man was put on a 12-month good-behaviour bond on condition that he attended anger-management counselling. He was also ordered to pay $1929.45 restitution for the other car's repairs.
MPs squabble over youth State political parties have got into a stoush over funding the long-running Youth Parliament. The Coalition has pledged $120,000 annually for the next four years for the event, which involved 120 students aged 16 to 25 years drafting and debating Bills at the state’s Parliament House this month. South-Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich said it represented a boost of $20,000 on the State Government’s current funding. However Cranbourne Labor MP Jude Perera said the Coalition pledge “cut funds”, claiming $154,000 was allocated to this month’s Youth Parliament. A State Government media statement on 2 July stated “more than $100,000” was allocated to this year’s event. Ms Peulich said the Coalition’s funding ensured more young people could take part, including those with special needs and disadvantaged backgrounds. “Since its establishment, Youth Parliament has provided the opportunity for 2000 young Victorians to speak out on issues important to them. “Even more young people can add their
voice and be part of this strong tradition”. She accused the State Government of “shelving” student engagement. Mr Perera said the Government had supported the Youth Parliament for the past four years, with additional funds to ensure people with a disability took part. The event included captioning services and interpreters. “The Andrews Labor Government has almost doubled spending in the Youth Affairs portfolio since 2014 to enable more young people to have their voices heard including launching the first ever Victorian Youth Congress.” He said the Coalition’s “mates in Canberra” had cut the Youth Minister portfolio from Cabinet and cut all funding for National Youth Week. The Youth Parliament has been the origin of more than 20 reforms, including mandatory wearing of bike helmets and nightclub safety measures.

IN BRIEF
Stabbing at home A 54-year-old woman has suffered serious stab wounds during a sexual assault in her own home in Doveton. Detectives from Victoria Police’s Sexual Crime Squad are investigating, with reports that multiple offenders may be involved in the attack around noon on July 2. Police are yet to release descriptions of the offenders, who remain at large.
The victim was treated by paramedics at her Rowan Drive semi-detached home for multiple stab wounds to her upper and lower body. Neighbours reportedly heard her screams. She was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition. Her condition has since been described as stable. A neighbour told Star News that detectives
sourced their CCTV footage. Her CCTV cameras were installed after several nearby break-ins and thefts, including a car from their driveway. Before the latest incident, however, she had felt safe. “It’s a bit scary for us to go out there. God knows where these people are heading.” Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
Asylum seekers write a happier ending By Cam Lucadou-Wells English-language classes are providing a ray of hope for beleaguered asylum seekers. Facing the likely loss of federal income support, the best step forward for many is to improve their English - and in turn improve their job prospects. The latest crop of students proudly graduated at the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre in Dandenong on 4 July. ASRC training co-ordinator Simon Dalton said the achievements brought brighter selfesteem for its graduates. "We find the effect is really profound. They get dressed up, they get photos with their teachers - it's a sign of success in their new home. "Sometimes success is not tangible because they're finding it hard to get work." The course is especially vital with up to 5000 Victorian asylum seekers facing desperation under federal Status Resolution Support Services cuts this month. They could lose their entire $247 weekly supplement - their equivalent to a NewStart allowance, Mr Dalton said. Greater Dandenong Council have openly advocated against the cuts, including flying a delegation to Canberra to meet with Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. "There's no fallback for many. There are real fears that people will be forced to be destitute," Mr Dalton said. "We are worried how people are going to cope." At any one time, the ASRC offer programs for about 100 members to get a basic worklevel English competency. It includes reading and writing, speaking and listening tuition for up to six hours a week. Mr Dalton said there was a misconception that many asylum seekers didn't want to learn English. "That's absolutely not our experience. "They see it as the key to everything." Without government funding, the centre has helped get 200 people into work in the past four years. Now it is starting to publish multi-lingual fliers to inform its members of the SRSS cuts. "It is going to create a great deal of uncertainty. We're just going to try to provide as many options as we can."

A home has been engulfed by fire near the corner of Bloomfield and Mather roads, Noble Park. Four fire trucks from Dandenong, Noble Park and Springvale were called to the singlestorey timber dwelling about 1.46am on 4 July. The fire was under control by 1.58am, a CFA spokesman said. A building surveyor will investigate the site. The fire was not deemed suspicious. A woman has been robbed by a teenage boy during the afternoon peak in central Noble Park. The 33-year-old victim walked from the train station about 4.55pm on 25 June. On Mons Parade, a male youth has hit her hand in an attempt to snatch her bag, Greater Dandenong CIU detectives say. As she struggled to retain her bag, her phone fell to the ground and was grabbed by the robber. Her phone case contained some cash and her license, as well as credit-cards which have not been used since the attack. The offender was described as 15-17 years old, Caucasian, skinny and about 163-165 centimetres. He wore a hoodie with white lines, black track pants and black shoes. He was with another skinny 15-17 year-old male wearing a white-grey hoodie. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.gov.au
Man stabbed in domestic fight A man has been hospitalised after a domestic stabbing in a home in Wilson Street, Dandenong.

Dumper alert in Lyndhurst By Cam Lucadou-Wells Police have called for the public to keep an eye out for illegal dumpers, particularly in Glasscocks Road, Lyndhurst. About 3.25am on 1 July, passers-by spotted a white Holden utility that had been set alight by the roadside. It was later reported stolen, police say. Detective Sergeant Craig West, of Greater Dandenong CIU, said dumped stolen cars and rubbish were a "regular occurrence".
Even glassware and chemicals from clan labs had been disposed in the area, he said. "We ask for factory workers to be vigilant in the area. If they see something suspicious, they should contact police." Greater Dandenong Council run various campaigns on litter and illegal dumping - with an updated page on its website to report offenders. Last year, the council received more than 4000 reports from the public. It issued 526 in-
fringements and prosecuted seven offenders in court. "Council asks that the public remains vigilant and reports any littering or illegal dumping," acting city, planning, design and amenity director Peter Shelton said. "Council proactively patrols streets and ensures that instances of littering and illegal dumping are thoroughly investigated as a priority." He advised people to provide as much in-
formation as possible for illegal dumping such as a description of items, time, date and location and any identifying details of the people and vehicles involved. "If people do not witness the dumping occurring but think they may have information that might assist in identifying offenders we would also like to hear from them," Mr Shelton said. Contact Greater Dandenong Council on www.greaterdandenong.com/littering or 8571 1000.
Free sanitary products boost from the Youth Parliament By Marie Trevithick Victoria could be a step closer to having free sanitary products available in government buildings, with the Gleneagles Secondary College team passing their bill in Youth Parliament on 2 July. The team of VCE Global Politics students Uzma Janjua, Oznur Ulusan, Maya Ghassali, Alishbah Younus, Yosra Mohamed and Tali Mishali were thrilled when their bill was passed by the Youth Legislative Council. "We're so immensely proud of ourselves," Ms Ghassali said. "We were really nervous at the start. The support of the chamber and the government side was amazing." Their proposal, the Public Availability of Sanitary Products Bill 2018, aims to ensure all women across Victoria have access to pads and tampons when they are required. It gives women access to 12 free sanitary products once a month. "Women need access to sanitary products for the sake of basic dignity and in order to prevent the use of unhygienic materials, which

forced to undergo the use of unsanitary alternatives and risk hygiene, health and safety." In her introductory remarks in the Cham-
ber, Ms Younus said the bill was important to ensure equality for all women across Victoria. "This bill provides all women with the right equipment needed. "Having free access to these products will put Australia on the same path as Scotland, a country that is praised for its efforts and system of free sanitary products." Ms Ghassali said homeless women in particular would benefit from the scheme. "Their lack of financial stability forces them to use rags, socks, clothing or even newspapers and cotton balls to manage their periods. "No female should have to choose between purchasing lunch or buying sanitary products." It wasn't smooth sailing for the team, however, with two amendments being made to the bill before it was passed. Newhaven College, from Phillip Island, requested that a governing body be established to oversee the free product distribution, and that one of the Bill's clauses be rephrased. The Bill will now be passed onto the relevant government minister for consideration.

It’s not quite the bike path to nowhere, but that’s how it looks to keen cyclists itching to use an under-construction shared-trail. For several weeks, the trail aligned with the rail line between Westall and Springvale has been fenced off - despite literally just metres of concrete needed to finish the job. The Level Crossing Removal Authority says the WestallDandenong section - despite appearances - is about 60 per cent complete. “We’ll be opening the path when it is safe to do so,” senior project manager Matthew Williamson said. “At the moment construction vehicles still need to regularly cross the path as part of works to complete the trail and to carry out landscaping on the new open space through Noble Park.” When finished, a continuous 17-kilometre shared path will link Monash University, Caulfield to the Eastlink Trail, Dandenong.
A further free NAIDOC Week event for children will be staged at Gloria Pyke Netball Stadium at Greaves Reserve, Bennet Street, Dandenong on 10 July, 11am-3pm.

Lost-and-found Here’s a reminder to pick up after yourself in the bedroom. A woman allegedly visited a “friend” in Hallam, leaving behind zip-lock bags of a “white-powdered”drug on a bedside table. A few days later, police carried out a search warrant of the friend’s home, seizing three grams of the drugs on the bedroom table. Her friend was arrested and charged over the matter. A month later, the woman’s solicitor sends a letter to police stating that she confessed to the crime. She was a stay-at-home mum who had got a night off and was “killing time”at the friend’s house before going out with a girlfriend, her lawyer told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 2 July. She picked the drugs up at a party, having never used them for seven-and-a-half years, the lawyer said something that the judge said was “incredibly unlikely and implausible”. The lawyer insisted she was a “truly rehabilitated person”. She was given a six-month good-behaviour bond. The friend’s charges were dropped.

Ice trucker off the road An ice-using truckie towing about 45 tonnes of dirt has pleaded guilty to speeding and tailgating cars in a road-works zone of Monash Freeway last year. Police had observed Tony Markovski driving a tip-truck hauling two tipping-trailers merging eastbound onto the freeway from Stud Road about 12.55pm on 15 November, a court heard. His truck crossed quickly from the freeway's left to the far right lane, at an estimated speed of 90 km/h in an 80 km/h road-works zone, police claimed. As police followed further along the freeway, they detected Markovski's speed at 102 km/h under the same speed restrictions. He was observed not signalling as he over-
took traffic, as well as tail-gating two vehicles, the court was told. Due to a lack of stopping lanes at the time, police were unable to safely intercept Markovski until Clyde Road. Markovski didn't provide a licence. He told police he didn't know he was only licensed to tow up to 9 tonnes - well under the estimated 45-tonne load. Methamphetamine was found in his system, though he denied to police he took drugs, the court heard. He told Dandenong Magistrates Court on 2 July that his only issue was the speeding charge; his truck was speed limited to 95 km/h. Magistrate Pauline Spencer fined Markovski $1200 with conviction and disqualified him from driving for three months.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Using coconuts and leaves for camouflage, Noble Park Girl Guides have fashioned some comfy new homes for possums. The group presented their self-made accommodations to Helping Hands Wildlife Rescue volunteer Maree Binaisse on 4 July. The girls had been inspired by the need to overcome possums' habitat loss due to local development, leader Cathy O'Brien said. The project was also captured on a Girls Guide short film showing what a difference their members make to the world. The film is a collaboration between the State Government, New Mac Video Agency and Girl Guides Victoria. Details: guidesvic.org.au

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 11 July 1918 Proposed Dandenong High School On Saturday a deputation waited upon the Cranbourne Shire Council in regard to the proposed high school at Dandenong. The deputation comprised of Cr Abbott, Messrs Talbot, McAlpin, Cruickshank and McAfee. Cr Abbott and Mr Talbot were deputed to put the case on behalf of the deputation, and both performed the duty imposed upon them in a most capable manner. The benefit to residents within the Cranbourne shire boundary was clearly shown, if the high school is established at Dandenong, therefore the deputation felt justified in appealing for assistance in financing the scheme, which would provide educational facilities not at present obtainable by fami-
Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society
lies of the ordinary ratepayer, and incidentally would be the means of providing an improved train service for the district. At a stage of the meeting the council briefly discussed the question, and it was agreed to defer the matter till next meeting.
50 years ago 9 July 1968 Shop plan will cost $330,000 A new shopping complex of 14 shops, a service station and children's playground will be built in Springvale Road, Springvale South. Recently the MacKay family completed a large red brick hay and grain store facing MacKay Street complete with weighbridge, silos, service road and all relative facilities. Forty two years ago the MacKays owned three and a half acres. They now own five acres in the heart of the rapidly-expanding residential area of Spring-
vale South. Ian MacKay said: "It was just paddocks and a few odd farms when the late Mr Robert MacKay moved here. He had faith in this area: we have never had any reason to doubt that faith."
20 years ago 13 July 1998 Plan to boost police paddocks Dandenong Police Paddocks will become a thriving regional park under plans announced last week by Parks Victoria. A five-year Future Direction Plan for the 500 hectare paddocks will be undertaken by the Police Paddocks Advisory Committee and the community. Parks Victoria's chief ranger Ms Lisa Court said the open space of the paddocks had become increasingly significant because of the rapid growth in Melbourne's South-East. The reserve also had significant botanic
value. It acted as a buffer between Churchill National Park and formed part of the wildlife corridor that followed Dandenong Creek. The project co-ordinator, Ms Frances Horsley, said the reserve was an untapped recreational asset. Plans for picnic facilities and walking tracks were under way.
5 years ago 8 July 2013 Annual blanket appeal With chilly nights still ahead, Dandenong District Benevolent Society volunteers, who operate from the corner arcade shop in Thomas Street, and Springvale Benevolent Society are making their annual appeal for donations of blankets and rugs for winter warmth for the needy. Gifts of woollen jumpers would also be greatly appreciated.
Mr Noble Park made hall WHAT’S IN A
NAME buy the bakery. The tribute said Paddy was fondly known as Mr Noble Park. His public life included serving as a committee member and life member of many sporting clubs, work for many cultural groups, Noble Park Progress Association membership, a Dandenong and District Hospital life membership, and tireless work for the Red Cross and Comforts Fund in war time.
He was a talented violinist who played with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and various dance bands, and was a member of the Communist Party for more than 40 years. Paddy was associated with the Noble Park Public Hall for 47 years as a trustee, 17 of those as trust chairman. He opened Koala Gym Club there in the 1970s. The hall was built in 1925. Greater Dandenong manages the centre and leases the land from the owners - the residents of Noble Park. The community elects five trustees to look after the asset. The public hall team said Paddy's greatest hope was that future trustees ensured the guidelines the pioneers laid down were adhered to, and that the people retained control of the hall for educational, charitable, recreational and cultural needs.

What's In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city's best-known street and location names. This week the Journal looks at Noble Park's Paddy O'Donoghue Centre. AJ Paddy O'Donoghue was born on the Kalgoorlie goldfields in 1913. A website dedicated to the Noble Park Public Hall, now part of the Paddy O'Donoghue Centre in Buckley Street, published a tribute to Paddy. It said he moved to the suburb in 1924 after his father accepted a job at a local bakery. Paddy left school in 1929 at age 16 to take over his ailing father's work in the bakehouse and became the family's breadwinner. He was the oldest of five children - Sylvia, Eva, Elvia and Jack. Five years later he scraped together $200 during The Great Depression for a deposit to

As tax time 2018 kicks off the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has profiled the five most common mistakes and the personalities most likely to have tax time troubles. Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said it’s often simple mistakes and misunderstandings that trip people up. “While we know most people want to get it right, our audits and reviews show that there are five main areas where taxpayers are most likely to get it wrong.” The top five mistakes include taxpayers who leave out some of their income, claim deductions for personal expenses, forget to keep receipts or records of their expenses, claim for something they never paid for and claim personal expenses for rental properties. Ms Anderson says many of the mistakes are avoidable and there are a few things taxpayers can do to make sure their tax time experience is stress-free. “Know what you can legitimately claim. There are three golden rules for work-related expenses. You must have spent the money yourself and not have been reimbursed, it must be directly related to earning your income, and you must have a record to prove it,” Ms Anderson said. “This tax time we will be paying close attention to claims for private expenses like home to work travel, plain clothes, and private phone calls. We will also be paying attention to people who are claiming standard deductions for expenses they never paid for.” Tax can sometimes be tricky, but it’s not tricky to keep good records. “Around half of the adjustments we make are because the taxpayer had no records, or they were poor quality. Yet it’s so easy to keep your records, using the myDeductions tool in the ATO app. Just take a photo, record a few details and then at the end of the year upload the information to your agent or to myTax.” Another tip is to include all your income. “A temp job, cash jobs, capital gains on cryptocurrency, or money earned from the sharing economy is all income that must be declared. We are constantly improving our data matching tools and even a one-off pay-
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has identified the five most common mistakes made by taxpayers. ment may be enough to raise a red flag. “We know some people lodge early because they want their refund, and that’s fair enough. But we amend returns for thousands of taxpayers that leave out some of their income. This can delay your refund or even see you owing money to the ATO. If you wait until midAugust, we will have pre-filled most of your income information for you, to help you get it right to start with.” Pre-fill is available whether you choose to lodge online with myTax, or with a registered tax agent. For those intending to push the boundaries, or perhaps fudge some parts of their return, the ATO has you in its sights. “We are increasing our investment in edu-
cation and assistance, as well as reviews and audits. This year we are expecting to make contact with more than one million taxpayers either directly or through their agents,” Ms Anderson said. Finally, if you make a mistake, don’t panic. “We know people sometimes make mistakes or forget to include something on their return. If you’re in that situation, try to fix it as soon as you can to minimise any interest and penalties. Either contact your agent or lodge an amendment online. “Remember: Whether you use a tax agent or lodge it yourself, you are responsible for the claims you make. Take the time to check your deductions are legitimate and you have listed all your income before lodging.” dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

Hustwaite’s Dandy dream By Hayley Wildes The Dandenong Stingrays are absolutely flying in season 2018. Sitting on top of the ladder, they're the talk of TAC Cup footy. Co-captain Campbell Hustwaite - who shares the reigns with Mitch Riordan - gave an insight into the Rays stunning season thus far. "It's probably a credit to how deep we are as a team. We've had players come in and out, but we've also been able to bring players in who have played roles just as well, if not better, than some of the players that have been out," he said. The depth of the team has been challenged greatly throughout the season due to varying reasons and with the Under 18 National Championships being played recently, the Rays have had to play without a handful of their best players for a portion of the season. Bailey Williams, Zac Foot, Toby Bedford, Mitch Riordan and Sam Fletcher have all missed a number of games because of Vic Country commitments, while Riley Bowman, Hayden Young and Will Hamill are among others to have missed TAC Cup games due to representing Vic Country. Hustwaite knows better than most what the Rays incredible development program can do for players and this is ultimately driving team success. "The way the place runs, the coaches just want to make every individual better," he said. "It's obviously helped me and every other player on the list and individual progress benefits the whole team." Running out as captain of the Stingrays is something that Hustwaite doesn't take for granted. He says leadership came naturally to him after captaining sides in juniors at Rosebud. "Coming in as a bottom-ager, playing pretty early in the season, I didn't feel the need to
Campbell Hustwaite leads the Rays out at Shepley Oval. 181553 just be a background player, so I used my voice from the start," he said. "Everyone is happy to take on what I say and it's awesome, it's what that team comradery is built around, just being able to take on everything said." With the ruthless brand of football the Rays
are playing, along with the incredible depth and comradery within the group, Dandenong is marching towards a deep finals run and maybe, just maybe, they can claim the club's maiden TAC Cup premiership. What would it mean to Hustwaite to cocaptain the Rays to a premiership?
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS "It's one of the things that I've had pencilled into my mind since the start of the season," he said. "Having the co-captain tag with Mitch Riordan, we just want to make history and it would be pretty special to captain the Stingrays to their first premiership."
Neo Cleo trumps Tornado, follows on from a great win By Mick Floyd Superstar Tornado Tears may have been the headline act but it was the unheralded Neo Cleo that set the time standard in the heats of the Group 2 McKenna Memorial at Sandown Park on Thursday night. Following on from a brilliant 29.50 win over 515 metres the previous Thursday, Neo Cleo was equally dominant when stepping up to 595 metres, leading all of the way to score in 33.94. Not only was the win the fastest of the night, it also took more than two lengths off her previous best time for the trip much to the delight of trainer Robert Neocleous. "I've bred a lot of litters over the years but she is very special," he said. "She's got that much talent, but she does her best when she's out on the lure. From the 595m boxes you have to come out otherwise they can block you in. Fortunately she's jumping well at the moment." Series favourite Tornado Tears will line up in his sixth group final at just his 22nd career start after winning the night's opening heat in 34.12. While the time was five lengths outside of his personal best over the distance, handler
Peter Riley was content with his run following his record breaking campaign in Brisbane a fortnight earlier. "We didn't ask a lot him last week. Three weeks in a row over 700m in Brisbane was a big ask and he's not a good traveller on the plane, he didn't enjoy the trip," Riley explained. "But he's been jumping out of his skin during the week. We gave him a couple of walks up the bush and some light work, so with a clean run next week anything is possible." Interestingly it was the kennel's second finalist, Big Bang Tears, which Riley was particularly excited about. Second up after a four month layoff, Big Bang Tears showed good early dash before being caught on the line by Out Of Range. "I have a big opinion of the dog; he is a serious racing animal," he said. The Group 2 McKenna Memorial is one of Sandown Park's longest running features and boasts an honour roll featuring some of the greats of the sport. The McKenna Memorial - acknowledging the contribution of the club's first secretary and Victorian Hall of Fame member Jack McKenna - has been won by some of the sport's finest middle distance chasers including
Trainer Robert Neocleous with Neo Cleo. Flash Of Light, Irma Bale and Xylia Allen. The 2018 edition of the race looks set to continue that tradition, featuring three group

Team 11 one step closer to ultimate A-League dream By Nick Creely Team 11 is one step closer to its A-League dream, with Football Federation Australia (FFA) shortlisting the south-east bid as one of the potential recipients of a licence. The official bid of south-east of Victoria, was recently named alongside nine other bids to advance to the final stage of the expansion process. Applicants now have until 31 August to submit their final proposal, with a decision to be made in October on the two new licences to be handed out for the 2019/20 season. Other bids to make it to the next stage of the expansion process are: Southern Expan22 STAR JOURNAL

sion, South-Western Sydney, Macarthur, and Wollongong Wolves (all New South Wales); Western Melbourne and South Melbourne (Victoria); Western Pride and Brisbane City (Queensland); and Canberra. There is a strong chance that one of the licences will be handed to a Sydney-based bid, leaving just the one spot for another team to enter the competition. Backed by the Greater Dandenong, City of Casey and Cardinia Shire councils, the Team 11 bid will now spend the coming months finalising its investor group and ownership structure as it prepares to transition into a privately-owned entity. Iconic Australian businessman Gerry Ryan
has pledged financial support for the club, in a major boost to the bid moving forward. Ryan - who is synonymous with the City of Greater Dandenong due to his Jayco Caravans business - said his passion lies with the local community. "No force can unite quite like the round ball can," he said. "The south east region has been very good to me. This is an exceptionally multicultural community that would be incredibly supportive of a club representing it, as football is the game that many here know and love most. "I've helped put together a few clubs in my time. But this bid is about more than just football, it is about community and must seek
to increase social wellbeing and prompt economic growth - which I think it can and will." Ryan is no stranger to the A-League either, having previously had stakes in Queensland Roar (as it was then known) and Melbourne City. South east Victoria, one of the fastest growing regions in the country, has a population base in excess of 1.5 million people and boasts more than 22,000 registered football players. It comes after major announcements in recent months about a 15,000 capacity stadium in the heart of Greater Dandenong, an administration facility at Casey Fields, and the resigning of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the three councils. dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

Stingrays’ streak surges By Hayley Wildes
Will Hamill booted a stunning goal in Dandenong’s big win over Geelong. 182660 Will Hamill provided the highlight of the quarter with an extraordinary running goal that started on the wing and ended with a goal from a tight angle in the forward pocket. Riley Bowman excelled in the wet conditions. The big man began to take over the game in the third term with his class and clean

hands. A 44-point three quarter time lead was extended in the opening minute of the final term as Hustwaite sped out of the centre and delivered to Ed Cahill in the goal square. In the end, a six goal to one final term saw the Stingrays claim a 17.13 (115) to 5.7 (37) win. Bowman (four goals), Bedford, Cottrell and
Falcons inflict the Redbacks’ first loss By Hayley Wildes Rowville claimed a comprehensive win over North Ringwood in Division 1 of the Eastern Football League at Quambee Reserve on Saturday. The Hawks were in control after half-time, running out 13.16 (94) to 8.6 (54) winners. Ziggie Alwan (four goals) was dominant up forward, while Alex Frawley was superb. Noble Park put together a strong first half, but was unable to stay with Norwood as the game progressed at Mullum Reserve, falling 14.14 (96) to 9.14 (68). Kyle Martin (three goals) and Will Collis battled hard for the Bulls. In Division 2 of the Southern Football League, the Doveton Eagles’ magical season continued with an obliteration of Skye at Power Reserve. After an even first quarter, the Eagles outscored their opponents 9.1 (55) to 0.3 (3) in a whirlwind second term. Darren Sheen (eight goals) was electric up
forward as Doveton claimed a massive 27.12 (174) to 5.9 (39) win. In Division 3, Springvale Districts inflicted another big loss on Hallam. The Hawks were outgunned from the outset, with Springvale Districts scoring 8.7 (55) to 0.0 (0) in a brutal opening term. Springvale Districts ran out 18.20 (128) to 3.2 (20) winners. Sam Raru (five goals) was busy up forward and David Monaghan feasted around the ball for Springvale Districts. The Hawks were led by Mitch Lambert and Dion Cavallo. Heatherton, despite inaccuracy, claimed a hard-fought win over Black Rock at McDonald Reserve. After falling behind early, Heatherton dug deep and a four-goal to zero final term saw the side record a 9.15 (69) to 8.8 (56) win. Benjamin Clark-Henry and Reagan Maddaford were sublime in the win for Heatherton. Hampton Park and Endeavour Hills played out a classic in tough conditions at Robert Booth Reserve.
Fletcher were sublime all day. Matthew Cumming’s ability to read the ball and take intercept marks in the defensive half was stellar, making it near impossible for the Falcons to get any offensive flow going. An impressive 11 individual goal-kickers once again proved the Rays’ attack is far from one-dimensional.

In a see-sawing battle, the Falcons were ahead when it mattered most, claiming a 6.10 (46) to 6.8 (44) win. Nathan Strom and Daniel Soar were involved in everything for Endeavour Hills, while Reece Smart was industrious for the Redbacks. In Division 4, Lyndhurst was too strong for Lyndale on the road, claiming a ruthless 9.20 (64) to 2.6 (18) win. Trent Isbister battled hard for the Pumas. Sandown was overpowered by the Frankston Dolphins at home. The Dolphins led at every change to run away massive winners, 26.28 (184) to 6.3 (39). Scott Jackman was impressive for the Cobras. Dandenong was no match for Cerberus. Cerberus dominated in the final term to claim a 13.13 (91) to 7.7 (49) win. Moorabbin was no match for Carrum Patterson Lakes either. Alex Wilson and Brenton Rafferty (five goals each) ran riot, helping their team to a 24.14 (158) to 16.5 (101) win.

The Dandenong Stingrays made it six wins on the trot with a comprehensive win over the Geelong Falcons on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon at Shepley Oval. As has been the story all season long, the Stingrays’ depth and willingness to work for one another was the difference. The Falcons came out with plenty of hunger and were set up well behind the ball and the Rays found it tough going for the opening 10 minutes of the game. Despite the Falcons’ dominance, they were unable to convert on the scoreboard and when Riley Bowman put through the first major of the day at the 12-minute mark, the Rays had the lead. The second half of the first term saw the Stingrays really assert their dominance around the contest as they scored two more goals to hold a 19-point lead at quarter time. Just 20 seconds into the second term, Matthew Cottrell slotted a beautiful running goal to extend the Rays’ lead. Dandenong looked to be running away with the game, but Geelong pushed hard and scored three goals in three minutes midway through the term to cut the Rays’ lead to just 13 points. The Rays didn’t panic though and responded well in the latter stages of the first half as Jarryd Barker booted two majors to have Dandenong well-placed at half time, 7.6 (48) to 3.5 (23). The likes of captain Campbell Hustwaite, Toby Bedford and Sam Fletcher were getting plenty of the ball in the clinches. The third quarter saw conditions get even worse as the wind picked up and rain started to fall more consistently. It didn’t worry the Stingrays though as they put on four more goals and kept the Falcons to just one.
