Much-loved dad By Brendan Rees The daughter of a man whose body was found dumped next to a Cranbourne primary school has remembered her dad as a “very quiet, compassionate soul”. The much-loved father and grandfather’s body was found by passers-by in a carpark at the Donnelly Reserve car park on Lesdon Avenue, near Rangebank Primary School, about 7am on Friday 26 June. He was identified as 47-year-old Michael Mammone of Cranbourne East. His daughter Brodie Mammone said her family were devastated and described his death as “completely unprovoked”. “The overwhelming amount of devastation our family is feeling through this traumatic event is something so hard to fathom and explain,” she said. “They’ve not only taken away a man, but someone who had their whole life ahead of them, with many memories to fulfil.” Rangebank Primary School was closed on Friday 26 June as police swarmed the scene following the grisly discovery of his body. Homicide Squad detectives initially released images of Mr Mammone’s car, a silver 2008 BMW 118i sedan to the public in the hope to piece together his final moments. That car was found on Miller Court in Cranbourne about 7.30pm on Saturday 27 June and towed away for examination. Ms Mammone said she couldn’t understand why someone would want her father killed. “We love and miss our father dearly, it’s terrifying to know that the monster who did this is still out there. “The pain in not knowing his final thoughts, his suffering and his last moments is unbearable. “They’ve taken away a man who needed to be here to witness first steps, birthdays, marriages and Christmases.” Ms Mammone said her father loved the farming life, having grown up as a market gardener from a young age, following in his parent’s footsteps. “He used to just plod along doing his own

He was an old soul in a 40’s body, he loved the Robbie Williams classics, green day and ‘fangirled’ over Delta Goodrem, we spent our childhood listening to it blaring throughout our home,” she said. Ms Mammone said she and her two sisters also had fond memories of running through the paddocks in their gumboots with their dad. “He taught us all how to ride horses when we were young, he used to rock his cowboy hat, he was so proud,” she said. The family had also enjoyed a trip to the 12451573-NG27-20

Ms Mammone urged those responsible to “please put our sadness to ease” and hand themselves into police. “The least you could do is turn yourselves in for the malicious crime you have committed, my family will never be at peace not knowing how or why this has happened.” Meanwhile, a Victoria Police spokesperson
said it was not known at this stage when Mr Mammone’s body was left in the car park and investigators are keen to speak to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area on Thursday night or Friday morning. “They are also asking anyone who may have been driving through the area in the 24 hours prior to the discovery of Michael’s body who may have dash cam footage to come forward.” Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

IN BRIEF
ATM ramraid bungle By Brendan Rees Two bungling intruders have used a car to ram a brand new supermarket after trying to steal an ATM in Cranbourne West early on Saturday 27 June. Police are hunting the pair who allegedly used a silver ute to force entry to the Woolworths supermarket - which opened just over two weeks ago - at the intersection of Hall Road and Evans Road about 3am. “It is believed the men used the ute and a maroon Ford Fairmont sedan to pull an ATM out from a wall,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. “The men deserted the ATM after several attempts to lift it and fled in both cars, with the ute driving at police on the wrong side of Evans Road as it drove away,” the spokesperson said. Police later found the Fairmont dumped on Scarborough Circuit after it had been stolen in Lynbrook hours before the incident. Police arrived at the supermarket to find glass and a piece of the ATM including the keypad strewn across the entrance of the store. They also cordoned the area off with tape and searched the area for clues. The ATM was

The store’s manager Sam Beaver said the intruders had damaged the front foyer entrance and had luckily not targeted the store. “A big relief after the 3am phone call,” he said. No arrests have been made in relation to
the incident. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has further information or dash cam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Woolworths has been contacted for comment.
Fatal crash A woman has died while another two have been airlifted to hospital following a two-crash in Pearcedale on Saturday evening, 27 June. Police believe a blue Ford station wagon was travelling west along Baxter-Tooradin Road when it collided head-on with a grey Nissan Pathfinder about 5.30pm. The incident left a man and woman trapped inside the station wagon. Firefighters had to use jaws of life equipment to cut the pair free after passers-by initially came to their aid. Police and Ambulance Victoria say the driver of the station wagon, an 81-year-old Frankston man was airlifted to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition with upper and lower body injuries. His female passenger, who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene. The driver of the Pathfinder, a 39-year-old Rye man was also airlifted to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition with upper and lower body injuries. A Victoria Police spokesperson said Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives were investigating and believe the blue Ford station wagon was driving at speed and seen veering onto the wrong side of the road prior to the collision. About fifteen firefighters from Langwarrin, Devon Meadows and Pearcedale CFA brigades responded to the incident and remained on scene until about 6.45am. Detectives are keen to speak to any witnesses or anyone that may have been in the area at the time who may have dash-cam footage. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Covid rate climbs Casey City has reported 21 confirmed active cases of the virus, making it the fifth highest area in the state in terms of current infections. It comes as rising coronavirus infections across Melbourne saw an unprecedented testing blitz in 10 suburban hotspots including Casey, with Hallam singled out as a seat of community transmission. According to the latest health data, from Wednesday 1 July, Victoria notched up its 15th consecutive day of double-digit growth - with cases rising by 73 to 2231. Of those, 1839 people have recovered from the virus. In nearby council areas, Greater Dandenong had three active cases of the virus while Cardinia - a named ‘hotspot’ last week - had none. Within Victoria, nine new cases were linked to outbreaks, 19 new cases have been identified through routine testing and 42 cases are under investigation. Three new cases have been detected in returned travellers in hotel quarantine. Fifteen people were in hospital, including two patients in intensive care. There were 301 confirmed cases believed to be related to community transmission in the state.
280 cannabis plants seized A man and a woman have been charged after police seized more than 280 cannabis plants at a Clyde North factory on Wednesday 24 June. Officers allegedly located a sophisticated hydroponic setup with custom made rooms after raiding the Rainer Crescent property. As officers from the Southern Division 3 Divisional Response Unit were executing the drugs search warrant and processing the scene a 28-year-old St Albans man and a 26-year-old Box Hill woman attended the factory, police say. “They were promptly arrested and charged with numerous drug offences including cultivate, traffic and possess a commercial quantity of cannabis and theft,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said. The pair have been remanded to face the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 25 June.

All smiles on frosty morn By Brendan Rees Not even shivering conditions was going to stop five-year-old Emmett from making the most of the start to his school holidays. Clad in his winter woollies and boots, Emmett of Frankston happily wandered the frost-laden grounds of Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary on Monday morning, 29 June. Star News photographer Stewart Chambers captured the youngster beaming with a smile as he fed a Kangaroo Island kanga-
roo - despite the temperature dipping to 2.2 degrees. The popular sanctuary reopened on 1 June which has seen many visitors stream through its doors while adhering to social distancing. Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said he was thrilled to welcome visitors again. “We’ve seen a lot of people come through which we’re very grateful for,” he said. “People are well spaced out and that’s been great to see.”
Police have released CCTV images in the hope of identifying a man following a theft from a construction site in Cranbourne East. Police say a man attended a building site on Aayana Street Cranbourne East about 3.15am on 27 May where its alleged he stole a bucket. “He dropped the bucket and ran on police arrival,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said.

Supermarket will deliver
Impossible dream
Woolworths’ Cranbourne Park supermarket will permanently close to in-store customers at 6pm on Friday 3 July. The store, which was to close in August, will be converted to a dedicated home delivery store for the next two months to support the online grocery needs of Victorians, including those self isolating or staying at home. The conversion to a home delivery store will allow Woolworths to pick and dispatch thousands more weekly online orders to customers in southeast Melbourne in the coming months. Demand for online groceries has increased significantly in Melbourne as more customers seek to limit their community outings in Covid-19 hotspots. Woolworths opened a replacement store at Cranbourne West on 12 June with an expanded fresh food section, contemporary fit-out and the convenience of a drive-thru pick up. There are three further Woolworths stores within five kilometres of Cranbourne Park. All Cranbourne Park team members have been offered redeployment to the new Cranbourne West location or other stores in the area. There are no job losses as a consequence of the decision to close the store. Woolworths Supermarkets Victorian general manager Andrew Hall said: “We thank our Cranbourne Park customers for their support over the years and hope to welcome them to our newly opened supermarket in Cranbourne West. “From Saturday, Cranbourne Park will become a dedicated home delivery hub, where our team will handpick online orders to meet the increased demand for home delivery across the City of Casey. It’s an uncertain time for many local customers and this move will ensure we have the delivery capacity to support the essential grocery needs of many more local customers online.”

It would appear that the Victorian response to the testing for Covid-19 should be put into the too hard basket or impossible dream realm. Further to Mitchell Clarke’s offering, it would appear that the fear engendered by the daily narrative and media outpourings have had some unusual results. The State Government and indeed the local member should be embarrassed and ashamed at the mixed, confused or no messages being promulgated and the inappropriate and what appears inept responses to the situation. We have seen over the preceding weeks socalled health experts agreeing to the release of thousands off of contaminated cruise ships, and planes. Repatriated citizens from real hot spots apparently redefining social distancing and going out via the exit for a “walk“ during their quarantine. I guess that’s why the PSOs are being considered now rather than the private security arrangements. Mass meetings for the flavour of the month demonstration where participants have conveniently taken the message and most likely virus back to their work places (eg Northland) and schools (eg Heritage Springs). We have had one of our own Victorian expert more concerned with including personal party political remarks re: addressing the history of colonisation. We have the WHO leader trying to assuage the guilt of the origin of the disease and downplaying the role of masks and prognosticating as to what a pandemic really is. I guess now with 10 million infected and 500,000 deaths he knows. We are told that it is only a disease that affects, significantly the elderly and those with “underlying conditions“ with transmission, survivability of the virus, surface contamination, incubation period etc being somewhat of a best guesstimate this despite anecdotal reports to the contrary. We are also told that if we have any mild symptoms to get tested almost on an hourly basis. I guess that includes anyone with chronic hayfever who sneezes to make a point. Yet what does the Victorian Health “Displan“ have to offer ? Much to the chagrin and horror of the Brittany’s and David’s they find extensive waits, being turned away and results that could be false positives or even false negatives and a testing system that can’t cope or is not available. If we are to believe Brett Sutton you can have it one day and suddenly as if in a miracle it is gone within 24 hours. Some people are being told to wait for a week for the results yet you hear that some are getting theirs within 24 hours that’s if you happen to be a sportsperson. In the meantime you might get some messaging and some nice people knocking on your door telling you to wash your hands, stay home and keep away from others. If you have managed to get a test and test positive stay home for 14 days and all will be well. So be part of the testing process if you can find one and save a life! Charles Harris, Pakenham.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On 29 June the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a story about a woman paying tribute to her ‘caring and loving’ father whose body was found dumped next to Rangebank Primary School on Friday 26 June. Here are how our readers reacted: Sharon Aumann: So very sad for his daughters. I hope they have a mum as it’s not mentioned. RIP. Robyn Disher: This is so very sad. May you rest in peace. Condolences to his three daughters. Karen Jarman: So sad. Thinking of his girls. On 26 June the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a graph from the Department of Health and Human Services indicating a spike in active Covid-19 cases in Casey City since late May. Here are how our readers reacted: Damien James: It looks like they have been reclassifying a lot of those who were originally listed in Melbourne. So there is a lot of return travellers in those you would expect. Really need to break it down further. Linda Styles: But only Hallam was listed as a hotspot so how are we so high??

Police at Rangebank Primary School.
Neighbours shocked By Brendan Rees Neighbours have expressed shock after the body of a man was found dumped next to a Cranbourne primary school on Friday 26 June. The grim discovery was made after passers-by near Rangebank Primary School about 7.15am Police were called to the carpark at Lesdon Avenue, next to Donnelly Recreational Reserve. A homicide probe is underway after the body was identified as 47-year-old Michael Mammone of Cranbourne East. The school was closed as police swarmed the area for most of the day where a roadblock
was set up on Lesdon Avenue and the reserve cordoned off with police tape. Neighbours described the area as usually quiet and didn’t know what was unfolding until detectives knocked on their doors. Luke Sidebottom, whose son attends Rangebank Primary said it “was a bit of a shock”. “We actually got a text this morning saying the school has closed due to a very serious incident that occurred near the primary school and all classes cancelled for today. The school will be in touch,” Mr Sidebottom said. “I came down straight away to see what was going on,” he said. ”It’s a monthly occurrence around here.
Something always major is happening ... just more surprised it’s so close to home.” Another neighbour, Christine, said she was “very shocked” and found out about the incident as she was dropping off her son at a bus stop. “Normally I take my dogs in the car and take them for a run and sometimes we go there but thank god we didn’t,” she said. “That’s just awful and especially for the person that found them.” One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “It’s not something you normally get around here. “We didn’t know anything,” he said, after police knocked on his door.
Otto, a resident of 20 years, said he had walked out to his car about 8.30am when he looked down the street to see a police. “There’s always somebody that’s done something wrong so I’m not surprised,” he said, adding the carpark in question was sometimes the scene of cars doing burn-outs. Homicide Squad detectives and forensic officers, established a crime scene and combed the area for clues. Narre Warren SES unit were also on scene after setting up a marquee and assisting police with crime scene preservation. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

EPBC Act Process On 28 November 2018, the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment and Energy determined that each component of the Project (the Gas Import Jetty Works and the Pipeline Works) are ‘controlled actions’ as they are likely to have a si niicant impact on Matters o National Environmental Si niicance MNES , which are protected under the EPBC Act.
Written submissions can be made starting Thursday 2 July 2020 and closing 11:59pm on Wednesday 26 August 2020. Project Description The proposal for the Project includes two components: • Gas Import Jetty Works comprising a loatin stora e and re asiication unit (FSRU) at Crib Point Jetty, jetty infrastructure including marine loading arms and gas piping on the jetty, and the Crib Point Receiving Facility on land adjacent to the jetty. • Pipeline Works consisting of an underground gas transmission pipeline approximately 57 kilometres long to transport gas from the Crib Point Receiving Facility to the Victorian Transmission System east of Pakenham, and associated infrastructure such as the Pakenham Delivery Facility to monitor and regulate the gas, two above-ground mainline valves to enable isolation of the pipeline in an emergency and a facility to enable in-line inspections of the pipeline.
The Gas Import facility, Crib Point, Victoria (EPBC 2018/8298) controlled action is intended to be taken by AGL. The relevant provisions for this controlled action are wetlands of international importance (section 16 & section 17B), listed threatened species & communities (section 18 & section 18A), and listed migratory species (section 20 & section 20A).
The EES process is an accredited assessment process under the EPBC Act through a Bilateral Assessment Agreement that exists between the Commonwealth and State of Victoria. Therefore, this EES also considers MNES for the purposes of assessment of the controlled actions under the EPBC Act. You can make a submission on the matters assessed for the purposes of the relevant provisions under the EPBC Act, by making a submission on the EES. After considering the Victorian Minister for Planning’s assessment under the EE Act, the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment will then make separate decisions as to whether to approve the controlled action applications for the proposed Gas Import Jetty Works and the Pipeline Works, respectively, under the EPBC Act. Planning Scheme Amendment The draft PSA including an explanatory report and supporting documents has been prepared. The draft PSA is included as Attachment VI to the EES.

Mum’s heartbreak By Brendan Rees A young pregnant woman who lost her unborn child claims she was “purely neglected” by Casey Hospital after being turned away five times. Kristy Watson of Blind Bight said she experienced “textbook” symptoms for pre-eclampsia when she was six months pregnant in June 2018. However, the single mum at the time said the condition went undiagnosed and she was sent home with Panadeine Forte and told to “come in if it was worsening”. The then 19-year-old said she started experiencing symptoms of swelling in her face, feet and hands, blurry vision and bad headaches. For the next three weeks Ms Watson attended the hospital a further four times with her symptoms worsening, including protein in her urine and high blood pressure before her unborn son Kaycen died in her womb at 33 weeks. Ms Watson is now launching legal action against Monash Health. “It wasn’t just one mistake made,” she said. “I had my whole family telling me to go back, go to different hospitals but I trusted the hospital in what they were saying. “Obviously no money is going to put a price on my child but I’m hoping this will be the closure of my journey.” At one stage she said she was turned away because her doctor was in “a meeting”. “I just wished they had listened more. “My mum’s first reaction was ‘she’s been in here so many times, how the hell have you not picked up on this?’” When she was eventually admitted on 27 July, Ms Watson claimed staff told her “that I was going to have him” but when they did the ultrasound “they didn’t realise he wasn’t alive anymore”.
Grants aim to equip Community groups and organisations who provide services and programs for the Casey community are encouraged to apply for the 2020-21 Equipment and Training Grants Program. Grants of up to $1000 are available for not-for-profit community groups and organisations to improve day-to-day operations via small equipment items and training for volunteers. Due to the pandemic, the this year’s program dates have been brought forward. Applications will open from Monday 6 July and close at 5pm on Friday 14 August. From Monday 6 July, an online information session will be available online: https://www.casey.vic.gov.au/equipment-training-grants The online information session will include advice on understanding the grant program guidelines, how to apply using the online system and tips on submitting a great application. Bookings are essential. For more details or to be sent a link once the information session goes live, please email communitygrants@casey. vic.gov.au or phone 9705 5200.
Kristy Watson, lost her baby, Kaycen, at seven months pregnant in what she believed was hospital Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS negligence. 210614 “I was just in so much pain all the time. I could barely move; I could barely get out of bed. Pregnancy towards the end was obsolutely horrible for me.” Ms Watson, now 20, said for the past two years she had been trying to fall pregnant but had been experiencing “many complications”. She’s now in the process of going through IVF but admitted it’s a 50-50 chance of working. “I do believe what actually happened to me
is the reason why I haven’t been able to conceive again.” In a statement, Monash Health said: “We are sorry for the loss suffered by the family. “Monash Health undertook a detailed review of the circumstances surrounding this matter,” the statement read. “Monash Health has also met with and has spoken with the family. “As the matter is now the subject of legal action, we will not be providing any further comment.”

Making a good crust By Tania Phillips It has been a steep learning curve for the team at Crust in the Marriot Waters Shopping Centre in Lyndhust with the Corona Virus lock down hitting just months after the new franchise opened. Owner Anna Antony said she had been in customer service before taking on the Crust store and admitted to finding it challenging adjusting to the food industry in the beginning. Not that she went straight into the business without being prepared. She said new owners are well trained before they start with Crust offering an extensive training program including four weeks’ training at their world class, purpose-built academy on the Gold Coast. That is followed by two weeks training in an existing Crust store and a Crust induction with the support team working closely with the new owner to employ staff and set up the foundations needed for a fully operational store, serving pizzas that not only taste delicious but look good too. Of course, none of that included what to do in the case of a major pandemic that sends everyone into lock down – that is something no one knew they needed to prepare for. But she said the lock down had helped forge the team and they had remained open
during the challenging time boosting interest by offering their VIPP (Very Important Pizza People) weekly SMS specials on top of the usual email offers. The SMS deals proved very popular and would continue after lock down though they have been put a hold on for a short time while they await the brand-new seasonal menu due in the next week or so. Find Crust at Shop G01, Marriott Waters Shopping Centre, 945 Thompsons Road, Lyndhurst. For the menu or to order head to crust.com.au or phone 8594 4326.

The Pareto Principal has lessons for all businesses TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH Vilfredo Fritz Pareto (15 July 1848 – 19 August 1923) was an Italian economist, political scientist, and philosopher who wrote many articles on economics utilising mathematical tools. In 1906 he was commissioned by the Italian government to look into the distribution of wealth in Italy where he found that 20% of the population owned 80% of the property. On further investigation he found that the same proportion existed in other countries as well and, being a keen gardener, also noticed that he got around 80% of his peas from 20% of
the pods. This led him to thinking that perhaps things are not uniformly distributed in nature and in fact, the more he looked, the more he found this to be the case and hence the “80/20 Principle” or the “Pareto Principle” in which 80% of the results come from 20% of the causes was born. This turns out to be remarkably applicable to a whole variety of areas in life, for example: You will typically wear 20% of the clothes in your wardrobe 80% of the time 80% of pollution comes from 20% of the factories 80% of a teacher’s problems will arise from 20% of the class 80% of customer issues will come from 20% of your customers and similarly 80% of a business’ revenue will come from 20% of its clients Another way to restate this is as the “diminishing law of returns”, i.e. once you have
· · · · ·
achieved 80% of the result with 20% of the effort, then if you want to achieve the remaining 20%, you now have to expend the remaining 80% of effort. This is important for business efficiency since identifying that 20% which is going to give you an 80% return on your efforts is clearly worth doing. For example, ensuring that the 20% of customers who provide 80% of your income are looked after has got to be worth the time and effort. Equally, if it is indeed true that 80% of your issues stem from 20% of your customers, what would happen if you decided you no longer wanted to support the 20% of clients that are causing you the most pain? One important thing to note here is that I am not suggesting a “near enough is good enough approach” is always warranted, especially when it comes to essential products (for example, having 20% of aircraft components working effectively 80% of the time would have disastrous
consequences!). As an example, when you provide a prospective customer with a quotation for work, if you were to try to get this as accurate as you possibly could (perhaps to the nearest dollar), the time and effort required to do this might mean that the quote would not be provided for weeks and hence you might either miss the deadline or at the very least impact negatively on how your responsiveness is perceived. Providing a swift (ballpark) estimate at less than 100% accuracy will not only demonstrate an ability to respond quickly, it will also give your prospect a rough idea of the cost for which the details can be refined later. The 80/20 Principle is a very valuable concept to bear in mind when running a business and can be especially valuable if cost savings need to be made. - Ian Ash is the managing director of OrgMent Business Solutions

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME
Income declaration tips Taxpayers who have received JobKeeper payments from their employer, don’t need to do anything different. The payments will be included as salary and wages and/or allowances, in their regular income statement, which their employer provides directly to the ATO. “Your income statement can be accessed via myGov and the information is automatically included into your tax return by the end of July. If you use a tax agent, they also have access to this information. The figures in your income statement should already include any JobKeeper you have received. If you aren’t sure, check with your employer,” advised ATO Assistant commissioner Karen Foat. Sole traders who have received the JobKeeper payment on behalf of their business will need to include the payments as assessable income for the business. If you have received JobSeeker, the ATO will also load this information into your tax return at the Government Payments and Allowances question once it’s ready. If you are lodging before this information is included for you, you will need to make sure you include it. Leaving out income can slow your return down or result in a bill later so it’s definitely best avoided. Stand down payments Some employees may have received a oneoff or regular payment after being temporarily stood down due to Covid-19. These payments are also taxable and appear in their income statement and in their return. If people aren’t sure whether these amounts have been included in their income statement, they should check with their employer. Other income types Similarly, taxpayers need to include income
such as income protection, sickness or accident insurance payments, redundancy payments and accrued leave payments in their tax return. The tax return instructions explain how to include these amounts. Early access to superannuation “If you received early access to your super this year under the special arrangements due to Covid-19, any amounts you’ve withdrawn from super under this program are tax-free and you do not need to declare them in your tax return,” Ms Foat said. Example 1 – Barista receiving JobKeeper Ethan is an employee who works as a barista. After being financially impacted by COVID-19, the cafe Ethan works for enrolled to receive JobKeeper payments on his behalf. The cafe continues operating as takeaway only and Ethan is given some hand sanitiser for use during his shifts. He also purchases a face mask, which he is not reimbursed for. When he completes his tax return, he claims the cost of the face mask, ensuring he keeps his receipt as proof of his purchase. He also checks that his salary and wages and allowances on his income statement are up to date, including JobKeeper payments made to him by the cafe. Ethan needs to confirm that his total salary and wages and any allowances are included in his tax return. Generally, this will be included in his return by the ATO by the end of July and will include JobKeeper payments.
Common tax time mistakes include people claiming ineligible clothing, claiming for something without having spent the money and not being able to explain the basis for how the claim was calculated.

The Australian Taxation Office has issued a reminder to taxpayers about the rules regarding work expenses like protective clothing, uniforms and travel. A deduction some people might be claiming due to Covid-19 is expenses for protective items required for work. “Taxpayers working in jobs that require physical contact or close proximity with customers or clients during Covid-19 measures may be able to claim a deduction for items such as gloves, face masks, sanitiser or antibacterial spray if they have paid for the items and not been reimbursed. This includes industries like healthcare, retail and hospitality” said ATO assistant commissioner Karen Foat said. You still cannot claim travelling from home to work. “Generally, most people cannot claim the cost of travelling to and from work and working from home as a result of Covid-19 does not change this. For example, if you are working from home because of Covid-19 but need to go to your regular office one day per week, your
home to work travel is still private travel and cannot be claimed,” Ms Foat said. Reduce claims that aren’t relevant for part of the year “With more people working from home, working reduced hours or unfortunately not working at all, we expect to see claims for laundry expenses or travel expenses decline this year,” Ms Foat said. “If you aren’t travelling for work, you can’t claim travel expenses. If you aren’t wearing your work uniform, you can’t claim laundry expenses. It’s still important to meet the three golden rules: you must have spent the money and not have been reimbursed, it must relate directly to earning your income, and you must have a record to prove it. “What you can claim really depends on your circumstances. Whilst we are trying to make it easier for people to claim what they are entitled to; we are also asking people to take a bit of extra care if their circumstances have changed this year.” Ms Foat said.

Stepping up to help By Brendan Rees Kind-hearted volunteers of the Sikh community have sprung into action yet again - this time delivering free meals to those in hotel quarantine. In their latest act of generosity, The Sikh Volunteers Australia - a not-for-profit organisation based in Devon Meadows - delivered 250 free meals to returning travellers at the Mercure Hotel in Melbourne on Sunday 28 June. The volunteers have become renowned as unsung heroes since lockdown began by delivering 72,000 free home cooked meals to people every day since 18 March. This is on top of their regular free food van service which sets up twice a week at car parks in Frankston and Tooradin feeding the needy. Vice-president of the Sikh Volunteers Australia Manpreet Singh said their latest call for help came from a group of returning travellers undertaking 14 days of self isolation at the Mercure Hotel as part of a government effort to contain coronavirus. He said the guests consisting of people from the Indian community said they were not used to eating non-Indian food “continuously” while in quarantine.
Sikh volunteers deliver free meals to those in hotel quarantine. Mr Singh said after receiving approval from the Department of Human and Human Services the volunteers delivered the first batch of Punjabi vegetarian meals to the hotel reception. “We were receiving these calls for the last three months but we could not get the permission,” Mr Singh said. “This time they all got together and asked a request to the hotel,” he said.
Picture: CONTRIBUTED
He added they were delivering meals to the Mercure Hotel at this stage while offering free food with home delivery services to those in need. “It’s hard work but still we have to do it,” he said. The volunteers have been working around the clock taking orders and working alongside three professional chefs.
Safety works progressing on busy road Safety improvement works are continuing on Baxter-Tooradin Road in Devon Meadows between Fisheries Road and Warneet Road. One eastbound lane remains closed with speed restrictions in place. The lane closure is expected to be in place until the end of August.
said. “Traffic wanting to turn right can firstly turn left onto the South Gippsland Highway and then U-turn approximately 600 metres further along the highway. “Drivers should pay attention to changed traffic conditions and workers on site, plan ahead and allow extra travel time.”
Lynbrook-based company Aussie Broadband has been shortlisted as a finalist in the 2020 Australian Service Excellence Awards (ASEAs). The ASEAs are highly prestigious customer service awards across all industries in Australia, not just telecommunications.Managing director of Aussie Broadband, Phillip Britt, said the company was pleased to have been nominated for two awards: Customer Service Organisation of the Year (large) and Service Excellence in a Large Contact Centre. He said the company has built a reputation for excellent customer service, and paid tribute to all the team at Aussie Broadband. “This is a huge achievement to be recognised as one of the top companies in Australia for customer service. Well done to all of our staff - this is something that they can be proud of.” This is the third year that the telco has been a finalist in at least one category, often squaring up to Fortune 500 companies. This year, Aussie Broadband faces competition from HCF, Woolworths Food Group and Law in Order in its shortlisted categories. Aussie Broadband has evolved over the past 16 years from a start-up in a Morwell lounge room to the fifth largest provider of NBN services across Australia today. Last year the company opened a second major call centre in Lynbrook. “We are proud to base our call centres in Australia, so we don’t need to go offshore. Our customers regularly tell us that they feel like they are treated as a person by our call centre team, rather than a number,” Mr Britt said. “Despite the challenges presented by Covid-19 and rapid growth, our customer satisfaction scores have increased to record levels. “Over the first 4 months of 2020 we maintained a customer service rating of 8.7 out of 10, but in May, this figure jumped to over 9,” he said.

A cherry-picker operator was called in to help.
12453534-NG27-20
A mischievous koala has made a quick getaway from police which led to a five-hour rescue mission. In the early hours of Saturday 27 June, a koala was caught on security cameras scooting along the footpath outside Cranbourne Police station. By the time police went to check on the furry critter he had ran up a nearby tree, about 10 metres high on Sladen Street. Police then called a wildlife rescuer from Berwick who thought the job initially sounded “pretty simple and easy”. “By the time I got there he was in a big tree,” Sarah Cooke of Wish Wildlife Incident Safe Haven said. Ms Cooke said she and her partner initially attached a net to a pole in an attempt to shuffle him down. “We got him all the way down,” she said until he “dropped over to the next tree onto the fork”. Unhappy, the marsupial jumped higher into a 25 metre tree - which was simply out of reach for the rescuers. “From 2.30am to about 4.30am we were calling everyone we could possibly think of to try and get a cherry picker out,” Ms Cooke said. “We couldn’t get any further with a ladder and I tried SES and CFA.” Ms Cooke eventually contacted Peter Jackson, owner of Genie Scissor Lift Hire, who drove from Clayton to help. “We finally got him unconnected from the tree which is really hard to do when you’re up 15 feet,” she said. Mr Jackson controlled the lift from the ground while Ms Cooke and her partner safely placed the koala into a crate they had fitted to the side of the cherry-picker. “They can grip like no tomorrow,” Ms

Crucial updates for 2020 have been released from AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria. 179445
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Crucial return to play info By sports editor Russell Bennett The path forward for competitive senior and junior football and netball in 2020 has become that little bit clearer with the release of key documents from AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria late last week. AFL Victoria released its long-anticipated Return to Play protocols, while Netball Victoria also released its Return to Community Netball Guidelines. Clearly though, decisions on whether or not specific competitions will actually return to play this year have been made on a much more local level. AFL Victoria’s Return to Play Protocols state, in part, that: “Returning to play in a safe, hygienic and controlled manner is paramount to the AFL. “The safety and wellbeing of our participants is our number one priority. Following the Victorian State Government advice around the return of community sport, AFL Victoria endorses a return to club sanctioned training and matches, provided participants follow the relevant Victorian State Government guidelines and AFL Victoria’s Covid-19 guidelines are implemented. “In advance of returning to training and competitions, we encourage leagues, clubs and volunteers to digest the protocols, formulate an education and implementation plan for their club following which they would go through an education period and prepare their club to return to play safely.
“We will continue to work with the State Government to ensure alignment with their advice, with hygiene and safety protocols firmly in place. Our primary focus is preparing to return to play in a safe environment in a wellprepared and educated manner. In order for the return to play to be successful, and in line with Government advice, it is essential that clubs and individuals work within the timelines and protocols and do not move ahead of the level and restrictions in place.” Arguably the biggest factor when it comes to a return to play - particularly when it comes to senior football and netball - has been the public gathering restrictions. Those restrictions essentially dictate how many people can pay to enter grounds, and therefore the money clubs can make from gate, canteen, and bar takings. There’s no mention of specific crowd limits in AFL Victoria’s Return to Play Protocols, but under the section ‘Spectators’ it states: Any attendance at community football matches by spectators will always be strictly compliant with government directions and restrictions. Spectators for training and competitions must abide by public gathering restrictions. Spectators should be in groups of no more than 10 people in open, outdoor venues and spread out around the ground or venue. Spectators must keep 1.5 meters apart. Gathering limits will not apply to participants and those reasonably necessary to conduct the training or competition

Netball Victoria’s latest update - from 22 June - reads, in part: Indoor venues could open for the purpose of sport and recreation; People 18 years and under were able to resume full contact training and competition, at both indoor and outdoor venues; Adults could participate in non-contact training in groups of up to 20 - plus a coach at both indoor and outdoor venues. “Adults will have to wait a little longer to return to competition. We expect further clarification on this in July. “Netball Victoria affiliates and clubs are required to adhere to the Return to Community Netball guidelines.

New Covid-19 player transfer permit introduced A new football player transfer permit - specifically related to the Covid-19 pandemic and the effect it’s had on many leagues and clubs - has been introduced Australia-wide, and it’s already become a hot topic of discussion amongst clubs. The ‘Covid-19 Type 2 Permit’ came into effect from Monday last week to allow the cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
movement of players - on loan - in situations where their leagues or clubs aren’t otherwise participating in 2020. According to official AFL documents seen by the Star News, “Where a player’s club or league either does not submit any teams or does not otherwise participate in the 2020 community football season, that player will
be eligible to apply for a Covid-19 Type 2 Permit no later than 31 July 2020. In such circumstances, the Covid-19 Type 2 Permit will allow the player to move to another club for the duration of the 2020 community football season, and that player will then revert back to their original club on 1 November 2020”. It’s understood transfers are no longer al-
lowed into, or out of Victoria (after 30 June). The player transfer window for players to move permanently to another club usually closes on 30 June. This year, that’s been extended to 31 July in the ACT, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. - Russell Bennett Thursday, 2 July, 2020

The return to play is near By Nick Creely AFL Outer East will forge forward with its plans to get a 2020 season underway, with the league confirming it will proceed with a Saturday, 1 August start for senior football and netball. After extensive consultation with the senior clubs, there is set to be one senior/reserves football division in 2020, with Premier, Division 1 and Division 2 not going ahead as per usual. AFL Outer East has confirmed - after a club presidents meeting on Saturday in Kilsyth, as well as the club meeting on 23 June - that there are enough confirmed clubs to make up a single division despite a raft of clubs opting out of the season over the weekend over concerns of managing crowds, volunteer strain and community health. In its ’Guiding Principles for a Return to Football And Netball’ document previously sent to clubs, AFL Outer East stated that participation this season is voluntary, and clubs will not be penalised if they opt to sit out the season due to Covid-19, while it will also offer modified participation and club fee structures. The league will announce which clubs will make up the division this Friday, 3 July, with the understanding that there is likely to be a mixture of clubs from across the competition competing this season. The proposed season structure - which was announced back on 5 June - is unlikely to change, with a top-four, even home-and-away games, and a three-week finals series with neutral venues removed, but the league will publicly announce more on this on Friday, including providing fixtures once team submissions are entered. Clubs that have already publicly announced they won’t be fielding senior football teams in 2020 include: Beaconsfield, Doveton, Cranbourne, Kinglake and Gembrook Cockatoo, while the Star News understands other league powerhouses won’t feature at senior level in 2020 and instead focus on junior sport. AFL Outer East’s commercial and operations manager Cam Hutchison praised the clubs for how they’ve handled a difficult situation, and said that they will continue to work with clubs as they continue to launch towards a season start. “It’s been really positive - we had a meeting on Tuesday with our clubs, and we’ve spent the best part of the last four days communicating with the clubs and seeing where they were at, and each club has made a good, informed decision,” he told the Star News. “And they’ve all made an informed decision about whether they think they’ll play or not - (on Saturday) we met with clubs interested in playing, and put a few options up, looked at seniors only with extended squads, looked at under-21s, but the group of clubs we’ve got together are confident they’ve got really good numbers to have seniors and reserves. “All of the clubs have come together with their committee, players, coaches, and worked out what was best for their club which is great - we’ve made the decision to not hold on to the season, but we wanted the clubs to really drive that.

AFL Outer East is targeting a senior football season start on 1 August with one division. 197752 Pictures: ROB CAREW “But we wanted to listen, and we feel we’ve got a good outcome. We’ve done everything in a really united way, no one has broken away it’s been a really positive outcome for our competition.” Netball is also locked in for a season start on 1 August and won’t be impacted by whichever way the senior football season pans out, with the structure for the 2020 campaign set to be confirmed once team submissions are entered to the league. Like senior footy, it is optional for netball teams to take part in the season. In terms of the women’s football and vets’ football competitions, both are locked in for a
return, with the women’s league set to start on 1 August, while the vets’ start date will be confirmed after consultation with clubs. Under-18s football - which will be played under a divisional model - as well as junior football and netball is locked in to begin on the weekend of 25 and 26 July. Hutchison said the position of AFL Outer East hasn’t wavered throughout the entire process. “Outer East’s position the entire time has been that if the guidelines and the protocols from the government provide the opportunity to play, and we have a strong willingness
to play, we’ll continue to work towards playing until it isn’t possible anymore,” he said. “As a region we have been proactive, constructive and positive and it is terrific that all clubs have come to considered and informed positions, that is best for them and their community. “(And now) we’re sitting here at the end of June with eight to 10 clubs really keen to play, so we’ll work towards that.” AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria crucially released their much-anticipated Return to Play protocols and Return to Community Netball Guidelines throughout the week, which don’t mention any specific crowd limits - seen as the biggest factor when it comes to a season start - with attendance at community football matches “strictly compliant with government directions and restrictions”, while spectators should be in groups of no more than 10 people in open, outdoor venues and must adhere to the 1.5 metre social distancing. With a handful of clubs within AFL Outer East coming under current Covid-19 ‘hotspots’ and a current spike of cases in the state, Hutchison said that the league will continue to work hard with those clubs concerned who are set to compete this season despite the concerns around the impact it could have on game day. “AFL Outer East is working with local councils regarding local Covid-19 ‘hotspots’ and will continue to work diligently with those clubs who are impacted by these developments in their local area,” he said. “Moving forward we will monitor all information from AFL Victoria, Netball Victoria and government agencies and will assess at key junctures as we approach our start dates. “We’ll need some luck obviously over the next two weeks anyway - with this spike, they’re doing a mass testing and we’re confident they’ll rein it back in. “We continue to urge all Outer East participants to practice good hygiene and adhere to all government and AFL Victoria guidelines to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 in our community.”

Toner has the drive to win By Nick Creely

Toner was an absolute ball magnet for the Dandenong Stingrays in 2019. 192826 against Collingwood,” he said. “But I’m very eager to get out there, and especially when football is a big part of your life and they take it away for a few months. “I’m burning to just get out there and play, and even just train.” While the new Bulldog was left disappointed after being overlooked for a spot on an AFL list last year, he said that the self-realisation of what he needs to work on was massive in his mindset for approaching 2020. “I was disappointed with how last year panned out - I felt like I had a really strong year and didn’t quite get the recognition from the AFL clubs,” he said. “But upon reflection, there are things I need to work on, so I’ll be doing my best to make myself a more attractive candidate for clubs in 2021 and beyond. “I’m taking the long course, but I’m willing to do the work and stick to the right path and get good people around me. “I know I’m only 19, so I’ve got time to improve myself over the next couple of years I’ve got some capabilities that I can really add to the club.” While Toner eventually hopes to develop into a strong inside midfielder in the future, he just wants to lock down a role in the back six at SANFL level and become one of the most difficult defenders in the competition to match up on. “I’m not that tall or as athletically gifted as other mids at the moment, with the likes of Dan Menzel and such running around in our midfield, so I’m just going to hone in my craft as being a good small defender and provide some run,” he said. “But I want to add to my game so I can play and lock down on anyone, so I want to add both offensive and defensive play. “I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”

Jack Toner was at the beach with his dog when a text message came through that changed the course of his 2020 season. The 19-year-old - who finished runner-up in the Dandenong Stingrays’ best and fairest in 2019, as well as playing a crucial role in Narre Warren’s senior football premiership against Berwick in AFL Outer East - was slated to lineup with Sandringham in the VFL this season after being overlooked in the AFL draft. But instead, the young gun from the southeast will ply his trade interstate in the SANFL with Central District as he looks to build on his football, grow more as a person, and attract the attention of AFL recruiters. He said that the move was very much “out of the blue”, and one he needed to really think about carefully, but was delighted the opportunity has presented itself. “Dad sent me a text which had been forwarded on from his mate, Nick Rutley, who coached the Dandenong Stingrays’ girls last year, and he said basically in short ‘mate, would Jack be interested in playing interstate, I’ve got a few contacts with VFL being unlikely at that stage’,” he told the Star News on the last day of his mandatory 14-day isolation in South Australia. “I sat on it for a week or two, and thought why not? - it’ll be an awesome experience and I had a chat with Jeff (Andrews) at Centrals and he seemed great and really keen and eager to have me, and he has plans for my future so I’ve got all my faith in him at the moment.” Toner has moved over to South Australia by himself but is pleased to have another young player also make the move to the Bulldogs, which will help him transition into his new surroundings. “Another Victorian kid, Cam Wild from the Bushrangers, has come over for the same reasons as me which is great,” he said. “With the VFL season being a bit uncertain at the time he’s moved over too - it’s great that they’ll get a seven-round season in, but I think we’ll get in 14 games over here plus finals which I’m excited about.” While Sandringham was the perfect fit for Toner moving forward, the uncertainty of the season - particularly in Victoria - was the catalyst for the move over to South Australia, and one he views as an essential life experience and one that will hold him in good stead. “I spoke to a few VFL clubs, but I really liked Ben McGlynn and all the coaching staff so they seemed like the best fit,” he said. “And I still do, without a doubt, and I’ve got some really good mates there which I united with from Haileybury. “(But) the Covid thing came about, and the opportunity presented itself to play footy interstate and I thought ‘there’s no better way to make the most of what hasn’t been a great year’, so I decided to go over to the SANFL, which is still a really high standard of footy. “I want to give myself a life experience that I definitely wouldn’t be able to if Covid wasn’t around, so I’ll make the most of it for sure.” While dedicating plenty of time to training, playing and improving as a footballer, Toner is currently doing a Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin University, and will be working remotely from his laptop at his parents’ plumbing business to keep himself occupied in his new surroundings. Toner’s last game of competitive football was in last year’s AFL Outer East Premier Division grand final on AFL Grand Final eve, a match where the youngster showed tremendous poise to help his local club, Narre Warren, to a senior premiership after a stellar season at NAB League level with the Stingrays, where he averaged 20 disposals a match. In that particular grand final, which featured a string of ex-AFL players and VFL-listed players, the youngster almost looked like he was playing with a dry football in what was a rainsoaked match at Pakenham’s Toomuc Reserve. He hopes the burning desire to get back on to the football field, playing for points, and showcasing his wares drives him to great heights this season. “I would love it if my first game this year was the same sort of enjoyment as the grand final, but in the meantime this year I’ve played in an intra-club with St Kilda, filing in with the Sandy boys, and then I played a practice match
