Cranbourne Mullets go for good cause
The battle to put roofs over heads The City of Casey referred a homeless person to a support service after they were sleeping at the War Memorial on the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne. The occupant had hung sheets from the roof of the memorial site to cover the gaps between the roof and the walls and had created a bed to sleep on in the corner, with the pillow underneath the World War One Roll of Honour plaque at the South Gippsland Highway facility.

Crisis hits home By Marcus Uhe Cost-of-living pressures are creating a housing crisis that has “never been quite so bad”, says Community Information and Support Cranbourne (CISC) executive officer Leanne Petrides. Ms Petrides believes that Casey residents are victims of ongoing “geographical disadvantage”, lacking the convenience of the close proximity to services such as libraries and public transport afforded to inner city suburbs. Statistics of the clientele at CISC since the
beginning of 2020-21 financial year show that the majority of people (46 per cent) requesting assistance through the support centre are living in private rental properties. “One of the things that we’re noticing is that people have this vision of housing stress and homelessness impacting on that vision that people have of the old person drinking in a park,” Ms Petrides said. “It’s actually hitting the more traditional class, people who work or who are support workers, police, teachers, nurses, their income
is even being stretched to the maximum in terms of trying to afford rental accommodation. “What we see there is that if you’re on a limited income and you’re in a private rental, that’s probably be one of the most stressful situations because many, many people are paying more than 50-60 per cent of their income in rent, which of course then limits the amount of money they have to spend on everything else that they need.” Many of clients that present to CISC are juggling multiple complex financial issues, as liv-
ing in poverty creates a “snowball effect”. “One of the things that we’re finding is that more and more people are coming to us with assistance requests for petrol, food, medication, education costs, and housing costs. “They’re all intertwined. “[The clients] might want to go look for a job but they can’t do so because they can’t afford their rent, and if they’re being kicked out, or they don’t have petrol in their car they can’t actually go to the job interview.” CONTINUED PAGE 5

Mullets go for good cause By Marcus Uhe Tooradin children Koby (10-years-old) and Taj (Eight) McLoed have raised more than $3500 for the Cancer Council after deciding to shave their ‘iso-mullets’ on Wednesday 6 April. The McLoed’s have a personal connection to the Allan family, formerly from Tooradin, responsible for the Team Bella fundraising campaign, in tribute to Bella Allan who lost her long-term battle with leukaemia as a 13-yearold in February. As of Friday morning 8 April, the total was sitting at $3835. The big haircut took place at the Tooradin
Junior Football Club with the boys receiving donations from across the globe, including from members of their mother’s family in New Zealand and from family friends in London. The children’s mother Angela McLoed said their final tally has drastically exceeded their own expectations. “We started with a target of $500 a week ago and they thought that would be amazing,” Ms McLoed said on Thursday 7 April, the day after the shave. “We’ve had to keep increasing it. “Every time I show them the tally, they say ‘wow!’
“They can’t fathom how it happens.” While she was “ridiculously proud” of the boys for their efforts, Ms McLoed conceded that she had another personal stake in the matter. “As parents we were just excited about the fact they were getting rid of the dreaded ‘isomullets’,” Ms McLoed admitted. “I may have pushed the cause more than I should have. “They haven’t wanted to cut them off until now.” While they might be self-conscious about their new look, the boys are clearly aware that
what they’re doing is for the greater-good. “They’ve talked about kids making fun of them at school because of their shaved head,” Ms McLoed said. “They said their comeback will be, ‘At least I’ve saved someone’s life.’” Their fundraising page will remain open for members of the public to contribute to.

Council members speak on the south-east region By Jonty Ralphsmith

GSEM reports on priorities By Jonty Ralphsmith The Greater Southeast Melbourne (GSEM) council group held its election platform launch at Mount Waverley on Thursday 7 April, outlining key advocacy areas. Speaking on behalf of GSEM, Steve Staikos, Kingston Mayor, told community and business leaders from within the region which encompasses Greater Dandenong Council, Casey City Council, Cardinia Shire Council, of the priorities. Mr Staikos emphasised transport infrastructure, employment and the South East Airport as areas GSEM advocate strongly for ahead of the federal election. The GSEM region is home to nearly 30 per cent of Melbourne’s total population and 68 per cent of employed residents in the City of Casey, the most populous LGA in Victoria, leave the municipality for work each day. To unlock this gridlock, GSEM is asking for federal support for the following projects: Dandenong Bypass, Westall Road Extension, Thompsons Road extension, Glasscocks Road extension, Lang Lang Bypass. Melbourne’s southeast also has the highest unemployment rate, seven per cent, with construction, agriculture, administration and support services recording the greatest decline. With a decade-long reduction in school leavers taking up VET-related programs, GSEM sees a need to match employer de-
mand with course offerings. 130 billion litres of water per year from Carrum Downs’ treatment plant is currently pumped into the Bass Strait which Mr Staikos said should be recycled. Speaking after the event to Star News, he highlighted that each of Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia would benefit from a recycled water scheme. “Businesses in Greater Dandenong, farms in Cardinia and Casey and new subdivisions and growth areas [would be] able to be irrigated with (recycled) purple pipes,” he explained. “Having a small investment from the Federal Government to direct that water back inland and into those uses is such a small amount of money for such a big community and environmental benefit. “We keep hearing from the government that they’re tech focussed when it comes to climate change adaptation – well here is a technology they could invest in and they’re not investing in it.” The proposed South East airport in Cardinia is a project GSEM has long supported, as it will create jobs in construction, tourism and agriculture, support international freight and preserve agricultural land. Bruce MP Julian Hill and Andrew Giles, Shadow Minister for Cities and Multicultural Affairs were in attendance but no Liberal-National Coalition members attended.
Labor did not provide any election commitments at the GSEM election platform launch, but Shadow Minister for Cities and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles expressed his party’s strong desire to restore a greater relationship with local governments and bring local issues to the discussion in Canberra. Members of the Federal Government and local liberal candidates were invited and the ALP was represented Bruce MP Julian Hill and Mr Giles. “Scott Morrison has cut local government out of the national cabinet process – we’ll bring it back in,” Mr Giles said. “We know that local government is the level of government closest to the people. We know the perspective that local government officials have particularly about the impact of the pandemic on their communities is vitally important. “We need to bring that into the centre of national decision making. That’s one thing we’ll do very early on if we have the opportunity to form government. Mr Hill criticised the Liberal-National Coalition’s absence and broken promise after they did not deliver on the city-deal they promised in the lead-up to the last federal election. “The southeast is a fast-growing dynamic region heading towards 2 million people and it needs and deserves serious attention and partnership with the Federal Government,” Mr Hill said. “Growth brings opportunities but also challenges on the infrastructure and liveability side and it’s absolutely disgraceful that Scott Morrison and the Liberals turned up before the last election, made a whole bunch of promises that they haven’t kept - frankly they lied. They didn’t have the guts to show up today, not a minister, not even a representative, had the guts to show their face to the (1.5) million people in SE Melbourne who they’ve abandoned and neglected.” A GSEM spokesperson told Star News: “all lower house federal MPs whose electorates cover any part of the GSEM region were invited to attend the launch event.” They were also advised that they could extend the invitation to any candidates in surrounding electorates. The exact words on the invitation were: “you are very welcome to pass this invitation to candidates in surrounding electorates.” When asked about his absence, La Trobe MP Jason Wood accused Labor of acting as “puppet-masters” with the Casey Council.
Andrew Giles MP was in attendance at the GSEM launch. Picture: SUPPLIED ““It is bizarre to have these comments made by Labor MP’s when they never supported the $250 million to upgrade Clyde Road, the $64 million for Berwick Train Station and when I announced the Monash FWY, they attacked that also,” Mr Wood said. “Labor also claimed last election that funding for Berwick Football and Netball clubs was ‘funny money’…. These projects have now been delivered, I urge them to visit the state of the art facilities! “The truth is, Labor is acting as puppet masters with the CEO and administrators at Casey Council, as they have never dared to attack Labor with failing to deliver Clyde Road upgrades despite being the major proponent of the project. They have gone silent! “My question to the Labor Party is, what did they announce in their budget for the South East? “Nothing.” GSEM is a group of eight southeastern Melbourne councils, including Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia, that takes in a population of more than 1.5 million and advocates for regionally pertinent issues. At its launch on Thursday 7 April, transport infrastructure, employment and the south east airport were among the issues raised.
Liberals cop flak for no-show at GSEM platform By Eleanor Wilson Casey Council and a Federal MP have expressed their disappointment at the lack of Liberal presence at Wednesday’s Greater South East Melbourne (GSEM) 2022 Federal Election Platform. The Wednesday meeting saw eight councils in greater Southeastern Melbourne, including the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire, join to promote the priority projects they would like to see the incoming government support. Shadow Minister for Cities and Urban Infrastructures Andrew Giles and Federal Member for Bruce Julian Hill attended the event and spoke of their intention to support
a partnership between GSEM and the government, but a representative for the Liberal party was noticeably missing. “It’s absolutely disgraceful that Scott Morrison and the Liberals turned up before the last election, made a whole bunch of promises that they haven’t kept. Frankly they lied,” Mr Hill said. “They didn’t have the guts to show up today. Not a minister, not even a representative, had the guts to show their face to the two million people in Southeast Melbourne who they’ve abandoned and neglected.” The Liberal Government made a promise to deliver the GSEM City Deal in the lead up to the 2019 election, but has since revealed
it will not go ahead until the North West City Deal has been completed. City of Casey chair of administrators Noelene Duff concurred it was ‘disappointing’ to see there was no Liberal candidate at the platform launch, but said she was pleased to “have the alternative perspective and know what we’re working with.” A GSEM spokesperson told Star News “all lower house federal MPs whose electorates cover any part of the GSEM region were invited to attend the launch event.” In response, Liberal Federal member for LaTrobe Jason Wood argued the Liberal party has funded several key upgrades for Casey which were not supported by Labor.
“it is bizarre to have these comments made by Labor MP’s when they never supported the $250 million to upgrade Clyde Road, the $64 million for Berwick Train Station and when I announced the Monash Freeway, they attacked that also!” he said. “My question to the Labor Party is, what did they announce in their budget for the South East? Nothing.” Mr Wood also accused Labor of “acting as puppet masters with the CEO and administrators at Casey Council.” “[Casey Council] have never dared to attack Labor with failing to deliver Clyde Road upgrades despite being the major proponent of the project.

A reminder on risky roos By Marcus Uhe The Devon Meadows Fire Brigade has issued a reminder to motorists to look out for kangaroos on local roads following a “huge spike” in collisions between vehicles and the native Australian marsupials. Brigade captain Nathan Thorp identified the most problematic areas as the four-kilometre stretch of road on Browns Road between Craig and Pearcedale Roads, and between Pearcedale and Cranbourne-Frankston roads, near the Settlers Run Golf and Country Club. Sharon Williamson, President of Australian Animal Rescuers is often one of the first on the scene when a kangaroo incident is reported. She said that she has never seen this many Kangaroos in Cranbourne South before. “We had eight in a week, two weeks ago, due to the golf course doing rabbit culling and scaring them,” Ms Williamson said. “In one week I had five and there was one more that we released back into the Botanic Gardens.” She is pleading for motorists to take extra care on the roads and even suggested a reduction in the speed limit along Pearcedale Road, down from 80 kilometres per hour. “I was sitting with one (kangaroo) the other night waiting for euthaniser and it had tears in
Car incidents involving Kangaroos are on the rise near Botanic Ridge, according to Devon Meadows Fire Brigade Captain Nathan Thorp. 208748 Picture: JOE MASTROIANNI its eyes,” Ms Williamson said. “You apologise to it, even though you didn’t do it. “It’s heartbreaking. “Vic Roads or City of Casey need to reduce speed limits and put warning signs up to warn people, particular those coming to the region who don’t know.” A Department of Transport spokesperson said that Pearcedale Road is managed by the City of Casey and that it is the Council’s responsibility to propose speed and signage changes on their roads. They suggested that actions taken to avoid
hitting wildlife should be done safely, by steering straight and applying the brakes in a controlled manner. “We urge Victorians to be vigilant for kangaroos and other wildlife when travelling around the state, and take extra caution at dusk and dawn,” the spokesperson said. “Our teams continue to monitor roads to ensure the safety of motorists and where possible minimise the risks of wildlife around our roads.” Acting Manager City and Asset Planning at the City of Casey Joanna Noesgaard said speed limits are set in accordance with Department of Transport (VicRoads) Speed Zoning Guidelines and approval is required by the Department of Transport for all speed zone changes. “In 2020, the council undertook an assessment of Pearcedale Road consistent with the Speed Zoning Guidelines and found that 80 km/hr is an appropriate speed limit for the road environment and surrounding development,” Ms Noesgaard said. “Since this time traffic conditions or crash patterns have not changed. “Given this, the council is not considering applying to the Department of Transport for a reduction in speed limit for Pearcedale Road, Botanic Ridge at this time. “The existing kangaroo warning signs on
Pearcedale Road were reviewed in March 2022 and were found to be in a suitable condition to inform road users of the presence of kangaroos in the area. “The council is not aware of any further issues with wildlife on Pearcedale Road, however, we will continue to monitor reports.” Ms Williamson attributed the spate of incidents to the increase in development that the area has experienced in recent years. “They’ve got nowhere to go. “Where they would normally eat, there’s housing there now. “What used to be paddocks is now housing developments.” Kangaroo incidents commonly occur late in the afternoon and into the early evenings when the sun is setting, Ms Williamson said. Wildlife Victoria said that their records showed a reduction in the number of incidents reported to them between 1 January and March 31 this year, compared to the same period in 2021. A spokesperson said the variance may be attributable to callers contacting alternative response services, such as Australian Animal Rescuers, rather than the Wildlife Victoria’s 24/7 emergency response service. Wildlife Victoria’s 24/7 response line is (03) 8400 7300.

Help for rough sleeper By Marcus Uhe The City of Casey has assisted a homeless person find alternative accommodation after it was discovered that a makeshift shelter was established at the Oak Tree War Memorial in Cranbourne. The occupant had hung sheets from the roof of the memorial site to cover the gaps between the roof and the walls and had created a bed to sleep on in the corner, with the pillow underneath the World War One Roll of Honour plaque at the South Gippsland Highway facility. The occupant was moved-on on Thursday 7 April. The display had left Junction Village resident and Veteran David McCormack disgusted, particularly with Anzac Day just a few weeks away. “You can’t get in there to have a look at the plaques,” Mr McCormack said. “With Anzac Day coming up people are going to want to look at the facility. “It’s disrespectful.” Chair of Administrators at the City of Casey Noelene Duff PSM said that the council had referred the individual to a “partner organisation” and understands they are utilising the support available to them. “The City of Casey is committed to supporting community members who are sleeping rough or who are at risk of homelessness,” Ms Duff said. “This is achieved in partnership with community organisations and specialist services to provide information and a range of assistance including accommodation, food, employment services and health and wellbeing resources. “The council endeavours to maintain all public and open spaces to the highest possible standard whilst also respecting the complex circumstances that lead individuals to sleeping rough. “Council recognises that supporting those in crisis must also be accompanied by a pre-

Ms Duff said the council believes and it is the responsibility of all levels of governments to work together to eliminate homelessness in our state. “Council will continue its advocacy seeking representation of diverse housing types to meet specific regional needs including crisis accommodation as well as funding for further support for those at risk of homelessness in Casey in the lead up to the State Election.”
Major cash injection required to address housing crisis Meanwhile the increase in welfare payments will help ease financial pressure and get people “off the treadmill” of deciding what bill to pay, having been successful during the pandemic via the increase in JobSeeker payments and during the Global Financial Crisis of 2009, according to Ms Petrides. “Through the global financial crisis with that stimulus payment, and with any stimulus payment that is ever given, we find that there’s a decrease in the number of people on Centrelink benefits who come to see us during that time. “That was absolutely true though Covid-19. “What we did find was that people who

found there were just 20 rental properties in Casey that were affordable to very low-income households. “Between 2017 and 2019, only 12 new social houses were added in Casey, which is well below the amount needed to meet current and future demand,” the council submitted to the inquiry. Without intervention, the unmet affordable housing would amount to more than 10,200 households by 2041. About 4800 crisis accommodation places would be needed.

Ahead of the 21 May Federal Election, Community Information and Support Victoria (CISVic) is advocating for at least 25,000 new social housing properties to be built each year, and for all income support payments to be lifted to $69 per day, compared to the current levels of $46. The advocacy for investment in 25,000 social housing properties per year is based on the current social housing shortfall, currently estimated to be 433,400 properties, which is expected to grow to 727,200 by 2026, according to CISVic.

Work together Members of Casey Cardinia for Refugees joined the Palm Sunday Rally for Refugees in Melbourne on Sunday 10 April. We marched from the State Library to the Park Hotel, from where the eight remaining refugees and asylum seekers detained there were released on Friday. Another 12 were also released from other centres around the country. This leaves about 10 people, transferred to Australia from offshore detention for medical treatment, still in detention centres after nine years. Locking up innocent people indefinitely is the worst cruelty. The Government has provided no reason as to why the remaining 10 people are held against their will, while 230 others, in almost identical situations, are in the community. These people were rushed from PNG and Nauru for emergency medical attention on the advice of doctors under the shortlived Medevac legislation. They came with various debilitating conditions. They were supposed to receive medical care but, since the Medevac legislation was repealed after they arrived, they did not receive any. These are the people the government is releasing into the community; they are left with a completely inadequate support system that has prevented refugees from accessing mainstream social services and keeps them on precarious temporary visas, leaving it to charities and advocates to make up what is not available. Whilst we celebrate their release, this is just the beginning – they need permanent protection visas. They cannot rebuild their lives on a temporary visa. The Minister for Home Affairs, Karen Andrews, says that those in Australia on health detention will not be resettled in Australia. They have the option to return to Nauru, seek resettlement in the US or NZ (limited places) or return to their home country. We should be ashamed of this. After nine years of misery and uncertainty, they deserve a home here with permanent protection and all the support they need to start again. Let us work together to make this happen. - Casey Cardinia for Refugees

Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli: Doesn’t matter which hospital you go to the waiting time is so long Jennie Range: Before Covid I had to wait 10 hours in Casey ED with my daughter to be seen so five hours is nothing really. Also two days after being discharged from Casey still in lots of pain I had to wait over five hours
to be seen at Monash hospital then was put into the short stay area and had to wait hours before even seeing a doctor or given any pain relief. Then was in for a week waiting to have my appendix removed. So five hours during covid isn’t to bad. Michelle Hobson: I took my daughter to Warragul ED last week with chest pains and breathing issues and unexplained bruising in her chest, we were told at minimum six hour wait, drove to Casey to be told six hour wait as well. Left after four hours as my daughter’s anxiety was high due to all the Covid positive people coming through the ED, next day doctor called us and sent us back to ED and she is now awaiting surgery.

Local laments long lawns By Marcus Uhe The City of Casey continues to face criticism from ratepayers for its upkeep of parklands throughout the municipality despite a recent change to their maintenance schedule. While some sections of parkland have been addressed, grass remains at long lengths in others, and recent mowing by the council’s contractors last week saw grass clippings left-behind on Linsell Boulevard in Cranbourne East. Cranbourne East resident Ross Mackay has taken matters into his own hands, mowing a section of land belonging to the council at the end of his street, intersecting with Linsell Boulevard after running out of patience with waiting for a council representative to do it. He described parklands near his home as an “eyesore”. “I started doing it in November 2021 and it was prompted by out-of-hand grass as a result of the storms,” Mr Mackay said. “(It takes) around an hour-and-a-half each time I do it, probably once every two or three weeks. “People say I should be sending the council a bill for my mowing work. “If you’re going to do a job, do it properly.” Manager City Presentation David Richardson said ongoing issues associated with the pandemic are still plaguing the contractors. “Covid-19 is still impacting the council’s open space contractors like the broader workforce when required to comply with isolation requirements,” Mr Richardson said. “Many of our contractors are also still experiencing delays in the equipment supply chain and the recruitment of staff. “Council is approaching other contract providers to fulfill the shortfall where possible.” Confusion has also arisen regarding the contractors schedule and processes after some sections of park were left untouched by con-
Confusion has arisen over the City of Casey’s maintenance schedule in parks across Cranbourne. 276798 tractors while other areas were mowed. Fellow Cranbourne resident Ric Stewart also expressed his frustrations, saying that his local municipality has grown to look “tacky”. “There’s no value for our rates,” Mr Stewart said. “This has got to get back to the administrators somehow. “What they’re doing is just not good enough.”
Mr Richardson said the contractors deliberately leave the cut grass behind. “Our contractors do not collect grass clippings when maintaining areas of public open space,” he said. “Grass clippings are spread evenly across the areas maintained to avoid grass being left in clumps or rows. “Open space areas are grouped based upon service levels, maintenance frequencies and

geographical location, with an expected start date and an expected finish date. “Since February 2022, we have adjusted the maintenance schedule for the open space areas in the Central area of the municipality and are continuing to work closely with the contractor to ensure we can get back to maintaining our parks and open spaces in line with the regular services schedule and the community’s expectations as soon as possible.”

‘Death-defying’ pair jailed By Cam Lucadou-Wells Video footage has emerged in court of two men’s alleged “death-defying” 200 km/h-plus drive in a stolen Hyundai SUV at times on the wrong side of busy highways in the South East. William Dowell, 20, of Carrum Downs, and Jordan Jenkins, 19, were tracked by police Air Wing for about an hour on Mordialloc Freeway, and Thompsons, Frankston-Dandenong and Skye roads in the late morning of 4 April, a Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court bail hearing was told on 6 April. Mr Jenkins’ alleged driving – described by magistrate Luisa Bazzani as “death-defying” – included travelling the wrong way down an on-ramp about 10.30am. The SUV hurtled down highway emergency lanes at speeds of up to 180km/h alongside oncoming traffic, according to police. On occasion, the SUV crossed in front of oncoming traffic to exit onto another major road.
Footage also showed the SUV weaving between cars while on the correct side of the road, running two red lights and cutting a corner onto a pedestrian area. Police allege the pair abandoned the vehicle in an underground car park at Cranbourne Park shopping centre, where they were picked up by Mr Jenkins’ friend in a Mazda 3. They were soon after found by police in a roof cavity at the friend’s house in Cranbourne, Detective Senior Constable Danny Trigger of Monash CIU told the court. Earlier on the day of their arrest, Mr Jenkins allegedly burgled two homes in Mt Waverley and Oakleigh. In Mt Waverley, Mr Jenkins allegedly fled after confronting a 17-year-old girl who was home alone, police said. At Oakleigh, police said, a resident returned home to find Mr Jenkins with the resident’s property in hand. He chased and punched Mr
Jenkins several times in the face. Mr Dowell was alleged to have waved and lunged at the man with a meat cleaver before the co-accuseds fled in the SUV. Det Sen Cons Trigger said the grey Hyundai Santa Fe had been stolen from a Cheltenham home about 11.50pm on Saturday 2 April. Police were also investigating the same vehicle’s involvement in aggravated burglaries and thefts in Hawthorn East after that time, the court heard. Mr Dowell was charged with car theft, two burglaries, theft and committing an indictable offence on bail. He’d told police that he couldn’t remember anything from 6am to his arrest that day after taking Xanax and methamphetamines. Magistrate Bazzani refused him bail, noting that he’d been bailed on a night curfew by Frankston police less than a week earlier. He’d also previously breached other court
orders – a community corrections order and intervention order, Ms Bazzani said. Although Mr Dowell was reportedly the passenger in the SUV, the alleged offending was of the “highest gravity”. He was an unacceptable risk to the community if released on bail, Ms Bazzani said. Mr Dowell was remanded to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on 28 April. The co-accused Mr Jenkins did not seek bail in a brief hearing on 5 April. He faced charges including car theft, two burglaries, reckless conduct endangering life, dangerous driving whilst pursued by police, disqualified driving, and two counts of crossing red lights. Mr Jenkins told the court that he was withdrawing from Xanax, GHB and methylamphetamine. He was remanded in custody to appear in court on 13 April.

Key battleground emerges By Cam Lucadou-Wells La Trobe could be one of the key battleground seats in the upcoming federal election, says a Monash University political expert. Senior politics lecturer Dr Zareh Ghazarian also expects the economy, jobs, infrastructure, schools and hospitals to be crucial issues for voters in South East electorates such as Holt and La Trobe. Hip-pocket issues like housing affordability and cost-of-living are high on the agenda in the growth belt and its new estates. They play a part in the crucial question of which party is seen as the better economic manager, Dr Ghazarian says. “In the new housing estates, it will be important that the messaging around housing affordability will be where those electors are tuning in.” Long-time Liberal MP Jason Wood’s seat, which encompasses parts of Berwick, Clyde North and much of the growing Cardinia Shire, is held on a less than 5 per cent margin. He’s successfully defended the often marginal seat five times since 2004, with the exception of the 2010 election. In 2019, he defied a Victorian swing against the Liberal party to increase his margin. This time, Mr Wood faces off against firsttime ALP candidate Abi Kumar. “La Trobe could be a key battleground for the state, though it is safer than Higgins or Deakin. It is close to where Flinders is at, in terms of margin,” Dr Ghazarian said. “We’d expect the Liberals to hold onto these seats.” Meanwhile, Anthony Byrne, the long-time Labor incumbent in Holt, has retired leaving fresh-faced candidate Cassandra Fernando to protect a 9 per cent margin. Among her opponents will be Mr Wood’s former electorate officer Ranj Perera for the Liberals. The seat covers much of the City of Casey including Hampton Park, Narre Warren South, Cranbourne and the Western Port townships. “I can’t imagine Holt changing,” Dr Ghazarian says.
Labor candidate Abi Kumar, right, with MP Catherine King, needs a 5 per cent swing to claim La Trobe. “Even though when an incumbent goes, there’s a section of the vote that they take with them. It will affect the vote. “But looking at the history of the seat, the Liberal party hasn’t won it in the past 40 years.” In Victoria, it’s more likely than not that Labor holds its seats - though marginals like Dunkley (2 per cent) and Corangamite (1 per cent) are in play. “It’s going to be hard to see a party going for its fourth term in government winning these seats back. “If Labor starts losing seats like Dunkley, they’re going to be struggling to win the election.” Dr Ghazarian is wary of bullish predictions of a Labor win, given pollsters were “burnt” by the Coalition’s ‘miracle’ win in 2019. “Labor is in an election-winning lead and we’d expect it to be the case on election night. “But that’s what we were expecting in 2019.” Much will be decided in the campaign’s early weeks – before about 30-40 per cent of voters start to cast pre-poll votes. “For many voters, it will mean the campaign ends for them two weeks before the actual election day. “So the next three to four weeks are the crucial weeks for the campaign.” The Federal election is on 21 May.

Pearcedale family’s gratitude ahead of Good Friday By Marcus Uhe When Pearcedale’s Ryley Jakstas first started climbing into his mum Brooke Skilton’s bed as a three-year-old complaining of headaches, doctors put it down to a simple case of separation anxiety. Little did his family and the staff at the Royal Children’s Hospital anticipate the root cause of distress and chain of events that would follow, as the family became alltoo familiar with the one hour-plus journey from the outskirts of Western Port Bay into Parkville. An eagle-eyed doctor noticed that he was struggling with his right eye at the time and suggested an eye-test, where a pale optic nerve was identified by the optometrist, and a trip to the Children’s was determined as the best course of action. “They did an MRI (on Ryley) and told me they had found a mass behind his eyes that needed surgery,” Ms Skilton recalled. The growth of the craniopharyngioma had damaged his optic nerve and robbed him of vision in his right eye, and the resulting operation to remove the tumour would become “the longest nine hours of my life” for Ms Skilton, who felt like she was part of a movie scene. “It was like a time-lapse where you see people in the waiting room come-and-go. “We waited for nine hours and there were no updates or anything because it was a Saturday. “They did say, ‘It’ll be five or six hours but don’t worry if it’s longer.’” As a result of his surgery he spent 10 days as an in-patient at the Children’s, and had his pituitary gland, which produces vital hormones, removed, requiring establishing a regime of hormone injections and the onset of diabetes insipidus. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
Brooke Skilton and her son Riley Jakstas at their Pearcedale home. 276231 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Months later, when the tumour on his brain resurfaced, he underwent a second delicate craniotomy in six months, this time on the opposite side of his head, to compliment his first scar. Add 30 rounds of radiotherapy at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre as a five-year-old to his already bountiful resume of hospital experiences and Ryley had spent more time in hospital in his short time in the world than many do in a lifetime.
Aside from giving himself growth hormone injections since the age of six, only utilising his left eye and missing days of school here-and-there for appointments, Ryley, now 16, has been able to live a regular childhood largely uninhibited by his condition, having played Auskick, junior football, cricket and recently, golf. He is an accomplished saxophonist, and is currently looking to apply for a learner’s permit, vision permitting. “It (my right eye) doesn’t effect me too much,” Ryley said. “I have every now and then wondered what it would be like to see out of my right eye but I’ve learnt to live with it.” Biannual MRIs and quarterly appointments with his endocrinologist to manage Ryley’s hormones have become fixtures in the Skilton family calendar and served to strengthen the relationship between the family, staff and hospital. “The RCH has been amazing,” Ms Skilton said. “The staff on the endocrinology ward, I just ring them and say ‘Hi I’m Ryley’s mum’ and they know who I am. “They must deal with so many people and the girl that answers the phone, she’s been there since we started going there. “It could be three in the morning and I’m on call to the call registrar and the endocrinology team because I don’t know what to do, and they’ve always provided that support. “It’s great having that continuity and it’s great knowing that you can ring and they know who you are, who you need to speak to, how urgent it is and you don’t have to re-tell the story every time.” On Friday 15 April the hospital will be running their annual Good Friday Appeal, raising vital funds for research, equipment,
technology, training, patient and family care. As a result of her experiences in and around hospitals during the course of Ryley’s treatment, Ms Skilton left her 20-year career as a public servant in the public housing department behind to undertake a diploma of nursing, allowing her to better understand and administer Ryley’s medication and injections. As the mother of a regular patient and a medical professional herself, Ms Skilton is better placed than most to understand the complexities and stresses of hospital life, particularly having worked on the frontline throughout the pandemic in all-manner of personal protective equipment, to keep herself and her family shielded from the virus. She sung the praises of those at the RCH and everything that they have provided for her family over the course of Ryley’s journey. “The fact that we’ve had access to everything along the way and it hasn’t been difficult to find information, we’re just so grateful. “Being a parent, I could never work with kids, it would be too hard. “Anyone who works in that kind of setting, to me, is a hero.” Rebecca Cowan, the Good Friday Appeal’s executive director, thanked Victorians for their bigheartedness once again. “We’re beyond grateful to the generosity of all Victorian communities and beyond who have donated to this year’s Good Friday Appeal,” Ms Cowan said. “Thank you to everyone who has come together once again to support The Royal Children’s Hospital to remain a world-class facility helping sick Australian children and families.” To donate to the appeal head to goodfridayappeal.com.au or call 1300 APPEAL (277325) between 9am and midnight.

Ukrainians rally for home By Cam Lucadou-Wells Fleeing the horrific war in Ukraine, scores of refugees have been welcomed into a tight-knit community in Noble Park and the South East. In a poignant pre-Easter bazaar on Saturday 9 April, children from Ukraine joined local students in delicately decorating Easter eggs (pysanka) in the traditional Batik method of wax and dye. Adults helped prepare the traditional dumplings (varenyky), Easter breads (pasky) and cakes sold to raise funds for resettled Ukrainians as well as those abroad. It’s part of a rallying response by Association of Ukrainians in Victoria’s Noble Park branch and the Ukrainian Community School to help more than 100 new arrivals in the South East. So far, Australia has accepted about 1000 refugees from Ukraine. But there’s been no government support for their resettlement. “The Government has been swift getting people here but they’re not able to work yet. There’s no housing, no financial support,” says the association’s Noble Park president Liana Slipetsky. “It’s something our community has had to pick up.” “The community is rallying to link people together and show them support,” Ukrainian community school principal Orysia Stefyn says. “We’re trying to involve the families and to give them something to think about other than the horrific experience they’ve been through.” Like, decorating ornamental Easter eggs that carry nourishing symbols of good wishes. Reindeers for good health, trees for strength, flowers for beauty, the Sun for life and wheat sheaths or farming tools for a good harvest. The eggs and Easter foods such as ‘breads of life’ (pasky) are traditionally taken to church for blessings during the all-night service of
Andrii and Nadiya with their two boys Erik, 3, and Mark, 9. Nadiya and Erik’s plans for a return flight from Ukraine were upended when war broke out. 275444 Pictures: ROB CAREW Holy Saturday ahead of the Sunday dawn.

Rex name shame By Mitchell Clarke Almost one year since alleged corruption was exposed within the City of Casey, a former councillor is still fighting to clear his name. Former Springfield Ward councillor Rex Flannery, who resigned as deputy mayor just days before the State Government sensationally sacked the entire council in February 2020, says the events of the past 12 months are still “eating” him up. He has now officially requested that his name is removed from both a councillor honour board in the customer service centre and a wall plaque in Bunjil Place. “I have never had any involvement into this alleged corruption scandal and therefore I do not wish to have my name associated with past or former councillors who may have brought our City of Casey into disrepute,” he told Star News. “People look at your name and they see that you’re from Casey Council and immediately they put you in that same mould, which couldn’t be further than the truth. “It’s just horrible to have been a councillor in that term. It gives you a sickening feeling in your gut and now I have to live with that.“ Mr Flannery argues his name should never have been placed on the plaque celebrating the $126 million Bunjil development because at the time he didn’t support the project. “I guess I’ve eaten a little bit of humble pie with Bunjil Place. I’ve been able to see the value that place brings to the community but at the time I was against the development and I wasn’t once consulted (about having my name included),” he said. He also claims former ex-ward partner, Sam Aziz, stated to him that he “wished he never had my name added to the plaque”. “That was the only time I agreed with him,” Mr Flannery said. While Mr Flannery hasn’t accused any former councillor of committing wrongdoing, he said anyone found guilty from the IBAC hearing should immediately have their honours stripped. “They need to have their plaques removed

A self-proclaimed Cranbourne East “battler” who’s been working hard his entire life is looking forward to immediately retiring from work after winning $4.8 million in Tuesday 5 April’s Set for Life draw. The Melburnian held the only division one winning entry in Set for Life draw 2434, taking home the division one prize of $4.8 million, paid in instalments of $20,000 a month for 20 years. An official from The Lott called the winner on Wednesday morning while he was busy at work, utterly oblivious to his win. “Woo-hoo! This is the best phone call I’ve ever received,” he happily cried. “This is fantastic.” “You’re making me cry so much! “I’m a blubbering mess, oh my goodness.” The winning entry was purchased at Hunt Club Lotto at Hunt Club Village, 1S Linsell Boulevard, Cranbourne East. The winner said he previously thought he would never retire, but was now looking forward to it. “I can look after my kids, I can pay for their mortgages, that is so, so important to me. “I’ve barely travelled, too, I’ve never been overseas or even out of the state. “So, I’d love to take my family on holiday soon. “The world’s my oyster. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to work for the rest of the day.” Hunt Club Lotto owner Rommy Sia said he was also celebrating the exciting milestone. “This is the biggest win we’ve had in this outlet since I took ownership three years ago,” Mr Sia said “We’d been waiting for a major win, and

now we’ve had one, and we’re so happy. “Hopefully, we have some more big wins now. We’d love to be on a division one winning streak! “I’d love to send my congratulations to the winner, we’re so happy for you!” The winning numbers in Set for Life draw 2434 on Tuesday 5 April 2022 were 31, 21, 20, 9, 33, 19 and 35, while the supplementary numbers were 36 and 22. Across Australia, there was one division one winning entry in Set for Life draw 2434 – one from Victoria. This marks the 97th Set for Life division one winner nationally since the game began and the 6th Set for Life division one winner so far this calendar year. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Crime spree ends in jail By Cam Lucadou-Wells A five-day crime spree in October 2020 has resulted in jail time for a 24-year-old Dandenong man. Jack Audino pleaded guilty in the Victorian County Court to a raft of charges arising from his drug-fueled, rampage across the South East where he “dangerously” and “reprehensibly” led police on a hair-raising chase despite having his license disqualified. They included five thefts, making a threat to kill, robbery, reckless conduct endangering life and a prohibited person with an imitation gun. In that time, he’d stolen two cars left running in home driveways in Dandenong and Hallam, taken an EFTPOS machine from a Dandenong outlet, used stolen credit cards and robbed an Uber driver of an Hawaiian pizza. He also broke into a car at Dandenong Seventh Day Adventist Church, stealing $50,000 cash and cameras. In the late morning of 10 October 2020, Police Air Wing followed Audino as he erratically drove a stolen VW Golf in Cranbourne and across the South East for about an hour. Audino reached 172 km/h in an 80 km/h road-works zone on Monash Freeway. Several times, he ran red lights, drove the wrong way into traffic, swerved in and out of lanes, and almost caused several crashes. A woman pushing a baby in a pram crossed a road just before the stolen Golf approached. In Armadale, Audino was seen holding an imitation handgun on the vehicle’s dash before he ran a red light.
He and a co-accused were arrested by police in a multi-level car park at South Wharf shopping centre in Melbourne’s CBD. Audino threw away an imitation handgun from his pants as he was brought under arrest. He was holding $28,355 cash – believed to have been stolen from the car in Dandenong the day before. His co-offender held $17,100. The stolen camera equipment was found in the Golf. Audino was taken to The Alfred hospital due to drug intoxication. He’d told police he’d taken six Xanax that day. In sentencing on 31 March, Judge Patricia Riddell noted Audino’s serious, extensive criminal history. She said Audino’s “dangerous” and “reprehensible” driving at high speed while under the influence warranted significant punishment. The “serious spate” of offending, including violent robbery and a threat to kill, must be met by a jail term, she said. However, the sentence was moderated due to Audino’s intellectual disability, as well as complex mental health issues including ADHD, anxiety, a substance abuse disorder and psychotic episodes. Judge Riddell noted Audino suffered post-traumatic stress from an attempted kidnapping as a child and a serious motorbike accident. Audino was jailed for 19 months followed by a 12-month community corrections order, with supervision, drug and mental health treatment, NDIS support and judicial monitoring. His jail term included 537 days spent in presentence custody. He was disqualified from driving for 18 months.
Casey Cardinia libraries sowing seeds for future By Eleanor Wilson Casey Cardinia Libraries is bringing a fresh meaning to the traditional understanding of a library, launching a seed library for community members interested in growing their own fruits and vegetables. From this month, edible plant and flower seeds will be available from Hampton Park and Pakenham libraries for community members to take home and grow in their own homes. The library is encouraging members to borrow up to three packets of seeds, with the Autumn selection including carrot, parsley, cabbage, silverbeet, cauliflower and rocket seeds. Each season there will be a rotation of six new seeds to choose from. Customer service librarian Moira Eveleens from the Pakenham library said she hopes the seed library can grow to become self-sustaining. “It’s a long term project and we hope that by we can encourage the community to also donate seeds so that once that happens the seed library grows and it becomes self-sustaining,” she said. The seed library is part of Casey Cardinia Libraries HEAL program, which provides a range of resources to promote healthy, easy, accessible and local food options for the community. “The HEAL program aims to help people learn about healthy eating and how to grow and harvest edible plants, and we support that learning through our programs for all ages,” she said. “We have programs for kids and adults and they can range from workshops on how
Pakenham Library’s seed library hopes to become a self-sustaining community project. to grow and harvest food, to cooking demonstrations.” Ms Eveleens said the program has been in development since the beginning of the pandemic, with library staff hoping the seed library helps promote sustainability for the wider community. “By people learning how to grow their own food, they have an awareness of their environment, and we do our research to help give that food literacy to people about what grows well in the area, what is in season and so on,” she said. “There’s a whole lot of education at the library to promote green living.” To sign up to the Seed Library, head to cclc.vic.gov.au/heal-seed-library-form/

Cynthia Jennings, a Community Engagement Officer, says of her experience with Asuria: “At Asuria we’re all a part of something which we call Enterprising Heart, which really sums up what it’s like to be part of the company. When it comes to what being an Asuria Job Coach/Mentor, or Community Engagement Officer is all about, Cynthia says: “The way I help participants discover their dream roles is by really sitting down and getting to know them, building a rapport with them, and escranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

A doggone amazing story By Eleanor Wilson A Narre Warren woman is thanking the local community for their efforts in searching for her two missing dogs, who were found separately on the Princes Highway on-ramp at Narre Warren last week. Abbey Keys’ two rescue dogs Zues and Zena went missing in the early hours of Sunday 3 April; escaping after the back gate to her property was left open. Ms Keys said she immediately launched a call-out on her social media pages, hoping locals may be able to help locate the dogs. Thanks to the Facebook and Instagram posts, locals found Zues about 7am the same day, at the on-ramp to the Princes Highway inbound at Narre Warren, near the Mercedes Benz Berwick dealership. “It was a relief to get Zues back, but I was also frantic because I had hoped they would have stayed together,” Ms Keys said. Zena remained lost for the next seven days, but Ms Keys said online support continued to grow, giving her hope she would be reunited with the Rhodesion Ridgeback. “I found all through the week [the posts] kept getting shared more and more. On Facebook every morning and night I’d comment a massive update about where I’d been looking and any sightings of her, and by the Monday or Tuesday we’d put out flyers around the neighbourhood,” she said. “By that point complete strangers were sharing my posts and I actually met someone who had seen my post and was also out looking for Zena, and he suggested making a group chat so I could put out instant updates about the search,” she said. Ms Keys the group chat grew to about 80 group members, all actively searching for
her missing dog. “Throughout the week we actually ended up finding about six or seven dogs that weren’t Zena but were also lost,” she said. After several sightings, Zena was eventually reunited with her emotional owner on the morning of Sunday 10 April. “All morning from 5am until 9:30am we were in the area Zues was found, on car and on foot and eventually we just thought let’s just sit here and hope for the best,” she said. “Zeus’ ears pricked up at around 10am and I heard some movement and I looked to my left and I called ‘Zena’ really softly and she just naturally came toward me.” Ms Keys said she was “overwhelmed with relief” to be reunited with her canine friend, after spending over 12 hours each day for the last week looking for her. “The week has just been a blur and I’ve just been in adrenaline mode so the relief to see her and have her in my arms, you can’t put a price on it,” she said. With both dogs’ health given the tick of approval from vets, Ms Keys said she hopes to organise a meet and greet to thank community members who helped over the seven day search. “I’ve had hundreds of messages from people who have been searching for Zena, or just wishing us well, it’s been really heart warming,’ she said. “We want to do a little picnic so the people who have been so dedicated to finding Zena can actually meet her. It’s the least I can do, there’s nothing I can do or say to repay them.” Abbey is pictured with Zena (left) and Zues after being found on the on-ramp to the Princes Highway inbound at Narre Warren.
Local students invited to inject colour into Easter comp By Eleanor Wilson Local primary school students in Southeastern Melbourne are being encouraged to pull out their finest colouring pencils this Easter, for a colouring competition run by Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV). Prep students at Narre Warren North Primary School kickstarted the competition on Wednesday, brightening up an outlined picture of the Easter Bunny on top of road work machinery. “The best thing about a colouring in competition is all the colours we can use, and the Easter bunny on the truck is cool,” said fiveyear-old prep student Zavier. The competition is being run in conjunction with MRPV’s Narre Warren North Upgrade, which has partnered with local busi-
Prep students show off their artworks. nesses Marcos IGA and Cafe Coffea to deliver the prizes. Students can submit the artwork to one of the participating local businesses for a chance to win a range of prizes including a voucher and goodies, PPE construction gear
from MRPV, and a drive in the local CFA’s truck. There will be one winner for each of the following ages groups: 0-4 years old, 5-8 years old and 8-12 years old. The competition is running until 27 April, with winners expected to be announced on 2 May. Works on the Narre Warren North Upgrade itself has continued, with construction beginning at the Ernst Wanke intersection on 31 March. Crews are adding an extra lane in each direction on Narre Warren North Road at the Ernst Wanke intersection and extending the right and left lanes. MRPV said the upgrade will increase capacity, reduce bottlenecks in peak periods
and improve safety for road users. “Melbourne’s South East is one of the fastest growing regions, and the Narre Warren North Road Upgrade will make it safer for all road users to travel through this area,” Narre Warren North Upgrade Program Director Brendan Pauwels said. Works on the intersection will continue until late 2022, temporarily closing one through lane on Narre Warren North Road in both directions, as well as one right turn lane from Ernst Wanke Road onto Narre Warren North Road northbound. The intersection adds to completed work on the upgrade, such as the U-turn at Belgrave-Hallam Road. The Narre Warren North Upgrade is expected to be complete by late 2023.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A
with St Francis De Sales Primary School music teacher Kristy Galea
Tell us a fun fact about yourself! I’m a Music teacher who loves baking loaded cookies, riding my bicycle and going on walks. What do you love about what you do? The thing I love most about being a Music teacher is that I get to work with children (prep to Grade 6) who are constantly enthusiastic and have absolutely no apprehension to say what they feel. They love having a laugh and they bring me so much joy! Who is the best person you’ve worked with? The best people I work with are the crew at St. Francis de Sales Primary School, Lynbrook (better stay safe with this question!!!). A shout out to Imasha and Rosie in LS1 - they’re great to work with and always love banter and to have a good laugh. What would your last meal be? The last meal I would have would be a Banh Mi with extra sauce from Tabac in Springvale, topped off with a Raspberry Panna Cotta (keep it classy). What is your most memorable moment? My most memorable YEAR would be 2015. I travelled to over 35 countries with no plans or a functioning phone. I travelled wherever and whenever I wanted to go. Not a care in the world! I was able to experience and learn a lot during my travels. What event past or present would you like to witness? I would’ve loved to have witnessed Freddie Mercury and QUEEN perform at the Live Aid Concert in 1985. Which three guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner? Three guests, dead or alive, I would invite to dinner include Bradley Cooper, Leonardo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt. What are you currently listening to, watching or reading? I’m currently listening to 90s classics on the
drive to work - from Britney to The Vengaboys. I don’t tend to watch much TV, but when I do, it’s a fantastic episode of Home and Away. If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook? If I had to compete on MasterChef, I’d bake one of my glamorous Nutella loaded cookies! Where is your dream holiday destination? Vietnam and Malta have been my favourite holiday destinations thus far, but I would love to travel to Scandinavia. Antarctica would be pretty cool too (pun intended). What were you like as a kid? As a child, I was a complete ratbag and a comedian. Not much has changed since!

While the exact origins of the Easter Bunny remain unclear, one theory is that the symbol of the bunny comes from a pagan, or German festival of the goddess Eostre, who was the goddess of fertility. Since rabbits are very fertile and eggs represent fertility, that’s how the bunnies and eggs came into play.

Shelley makes her mark By Lachlan Mitchell The rise of AFLW has come as no surprise to local girl and Melbourne Demons women’s defender Shelley Heath. Shelly was picked up at pick 44 in the 2018 AFLW Draft and has since played 28 games for the Demons since making her debut against the Western Bulldogs in 2019. The girl from the Mornington Peninsula was awarded the Trademark Player award for her tough, resilient, team-first football at Melbourne’s awards day on Monday. Heath represented the Dandenong Stingrays, as well as playing her part for the Casey Demons. The defender also featured in this year’s AFLW grand final against the Adelaide Crows. Unfortunately for Heath and her Demons, they lost 4.5 (29) to 2.4 (16). “We went out there and did everything we could possibly do,” Heath said. “Adelaide were the better team on the day, so there was little moment were we could go back and do something different.” The Demons are captained by AFLW trailblazer Daisy Pierce, who has been the main face of the league. “She’s like an on-field coach,” Heath said. “She has the same values (as us), if you ever have something or do something, she will tell you to do this. “She’s the reason so many girls stay for so long, she’s the reason we are in this position, she’s one of the best if not the best leader out there.” Heath started her journey at (age) 15, after being seeing her brother play. “I use to watch my brother play, and he enjoyed the game so much,” she said.
Shelley Heath is making waves in the AFLW 276738

It’s great to see women get the recognition,” - Shelley Heath “Once I started it was just what I knew I wanted to do, and get to the highest level possible.” Shelley was drafted in 2018 and was unaware she had actually been selected by Melbourne. “I didn’t have great hopes to get drafted,” she said. “Some of the girls I had spoken to had been spoken to by a number of clubs, so I didn’t
end up watching I was hanging out with my friends. “I got a call and they told me I had been drafted and I was in shock. “I had worked so hard to get there and I was so excited to get there, I was more excited to share all of that with my friends who had supported me throughout the journey.” The AFLW is set to expand to an 18 team competition next season.
“It will exciting to see 18 teams in the competition , we will eventually get to a point where we can play all teams once including a finals series,” Heath explained. “It will be the fairest way to see who the best team is, like in the men’s. “Everyone can build to getting better and better.” Heath has been inspired by the rise of women’s sport in Australia, including the women’s cricket team who recently won the cricket One Day International World Cup. “It’s great to see women get the recognition,” she said. “Most of the women who play professional sport, we also have part-time jobs, so when they compare us to men it’s a bit unfair. “They have to see the game as a different type of game and we play it as well as we can. “The women’s cricket this year has been outstanding; the women’s soccer is just getting better and better… hopefully AFLW can get as much recognition as those sports soon.” The league has been criticised for scheduling the season during summer. As a result, a shift has been made to-reschedule the season to an August start date. “The cooler months will suit a lot more girls,” Heath said. “Hopefully it will be more high-scoring, because playing in 40 degree heat doesn’t give you the best performance.” The quick turnaround means that the girls will only get a six-week off-season before pre season. “Having a short season means a six week break is all we need, because after about three weeks in, we’re ready to get back out there,” Heath explained.
Home sweet home as Eagles make it two from two By Lachlan Mitchell Cranbourne was back at Livingston Reserve on Saturday for its first-ever home game in Southern Division One. The game was scheduled for a later 2:30 start on a blowy Saturday afternoon. The Eagles were coming up against St Paul’s McKinnon who was coming off an 87-point thumping from Bentleigh at home. Cranbourne got the ball rolling in the first quarter thanks to champion full-forward Marc Holt, who got his side of to the best possible start. The Eagles continued to dominate proceedings through the centre, with the run of Kirk Dickson providing gut-busting possession through the middle. Cranbourne went into the main break with a 45-point lead and continued to extend their advantage in the second half. An eight goal third quarter hammered home the advantage. St Paul’s kicking only four goals after the main break to see Cranbourne win by 77 points. Cranbourne Coach Steve O’Brien was pleased with his side’s result, but knows more can be done. “It was a pretty pleasing performance,” he said. “To have a convincing win like that was a great result for us.” Cranbourne had to contend with the wind pushing to the easterly end of the ground. “The wind sort of picked up,” O’Brien said. “Once it got windy it was obviously going to make an impact and we made use of it early in the game and continued to pull away, which was really good.” The convincing win still sees Cranbourne with plenty to work on over the coming weeks. “We were really pleased ,we were able to kick a convincing score,” O’Brien began. “That side of our game is working really well; we just have a few thing to tidy up defensively. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
Nicholas Darbyshire might have played his best game for Cranbourne according to coach Steve O’Brien 276110 “It was a pretty convincing team performance, that’s why we got the result. “We had a lot of significant contributions. “Nick Darbyshire played one of the best games; he’s played for our club.” Cranbourne-legend Holt was at his best again this week kicking five goals to add to his five in round one. “He’s just been a wonderful player for so long,” O’Brien said. “He just gets frustrated at times, cause he puts such huge expectations on himself. “He wasn’t that happy with his game, but he still managed to kick five goals, most others would be pretty happy with that. “He’s pretty demanding on himself but he’s a significant player. “It’s not only about the amount of goals he kicks, it’s about the overall game he played.” With Cranbourne winning both games by comprehensive margins the game plan is looking good moving into the season. “We highlighted some things we need to
get better at,“ O’Brien expressed. “I thought we were able to rectify a number of things, and then after the game in the debrief we identified things we have to continually get better at. “You are never going to play the perfect game, we are always going to iron out things and work on a few defensively.” In other matches in round two, Springvale felt the full force of St Kilda City, with premiership Magpie Dane Swan kicking two goals to help the Saints over the line by 41 points. Dingley had a close contest with Port Melbourne. The Colts kicking five fourth-quarter goals to fall 22 points short. East Malvern could only manage five goals in its clash against Bentleigh. Demonsforward Jakob De Winter with five goals to see his side victors by 37-points. Mordialloc also got over Cheltenham by 33 points to remain undefeated in season 2022.

Swans sign a fire-starter By Tyler Lewis Casey-South Melbourne has wasted no time in adding to its stocks. The Swans have signed former St Kilda livewire Michael De Iacovo. De Iacovo - often pushed down at the result of state and sometime Test players – begun season 2021/22 in the Second XI before a dazzling century in the Vic Super Slam boosted him to the First XI. He then made 309 runs from 14 outings for the minor premiers. De Iacovo has signed with the Swans, as offfield commitments have him living in the local area. Swans coach Will Carr is ecstatic over the signing, believing the right-handed opener brings a wealth of experience. “He brings experience, he has played five seasons prior to this and 50 odd First XI games at a high quality club,” he said. “He will bring some really good knowledge from how one of the best clubs in the competition operates. “We know his batting can be destructive, he will add leadership and he is a quality fielder with a good option for left-arm orthodox, he brings a few things to the table.” While his intent with the willow is exciting, Carr is the most excited about the knowledge and experience. “All of the above really,” he said. “His ability to take the game away quickly from opposition with the bat will be one of the main things. “His experience and leadership will add to the depth of our club.”
Michael De Iacovo will change his threads next season, linking up with the Swans, 276777 The Swans have added De Iacovo and are yet to lose a player, meaning the jostling for spots come round one will be competitive. But that is what Carr is aspiring for; to have a club that can be strong through the grades, therefore have fewer qualms in calling players up the ranks. “That is what we’re trying to do, we’re trying to build that depth and have 15-17 bona fide
First XI players, rather than 8-11 that we can call on,” he said. “That is part of our plans, to build from the top down a bit. “We needed some experience and quality, which we brought in last year and that’ll help the younger players develop, you know playing with more experienced players, got to get the balance right.
“Guys aren’t going to develop the way they should if they’re just playing with all other inexperienced guys as well, we need a balance, that is definitely high on the agenda – better performances in the seconds, thirds and fourths. “We want them ready to go at the next level and not have to go through the next level prematurely.”

“We actually train with the City group as well, so we are down here on a regular basis, over Covid we were coming down here to train, it’s so good the facilities are open to the public to use. “It couldn’t get anything better than what we have got here in Casey.” The tournament brings together different junior youth sides from all over Melbourne, from as far wide as Altona. “It’s one of the biggest tournaments, this is one of the main tournaments that everyone wants to be in and obviously everyone wants to win,” Grech said “We find it to be one of the better ones going around.” Melbourne City has established itself right in the middle of the local community as well as international sporting landscapes. “They (Melbourne City) have been great, you obviously had (Melbourne) Victory who was always dominating, now Melbourne City are going next level now they are taking over the reins,” Grech said. “The City development is taking over and we enjoy the facilities and the things that City are doing for the community as well.” Luke Dunstan launches long.

The Casey Demons ominous nature is growing by the week. The Dees made the trip to Downer Oval in Williamstown on Saturday, and while the Gulls have struggled to get off the grid at this stage of the season, it still remains one of the harder trips in the VFL. Casey led at the first change, before trailing at the half by a solitary behind. Mark Corrigan’s men shifted into gear after the main break, booting a dazzling nine goals to three. Ben Brown slotted two for the match, as did Kade Chandler, Bailey Laurie, Mitch
White, Jacob Van Rooyen and Andy MonizWakefield. Majak Daw gave his midfielders first use with 25 hit outs, but his performance was highlighted by a huge pack mark in front of the Downer Oval pavilion. The cold and often wet conditions of Williamstown’s main deck are suited perfectly for Jimmy Munro, who applied a ridiculous 13 tackles. Between he and White, the pair laid 22 of the sides 77 tackles. The 15.10 (100) to 9.11 (65) win over the Seagulls has Casey now 3-0, with Coburg and Richmond in its sights over the next fortnight. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Doves bury Borough By Lachlan Mitchell Doveton has continued its winnings ways with a 30-point win over Keysborough away from home in Southern Division Two on Saturday. The Doves had to contend with a defiant Kookaburra’s outfit. The Doves trailed by a single goal into the first break. The second quarter swung well into Doveton’s favour with a five to zero goal second term. After the half-time break the gap closed to really put the Doves on the back foot going into the fourth quarter. Keysborough closed the margin to 10 points and kept the Doves goal-less in the third quarter. In the final quarter the Doves were able to put the foot down and stretch the margin, restricting its opposition to just one goal, Doveton winning by an even five goals. New player coach Michael Cardamone was instrumental in securing the victory kicking four goals. Star-recruit Dylan Chapman once again proving why he might be one of the best rucks in the competition, giving his midfielders first use of the ball. The Doves had five individual goal-kickers with Cardamone and Max Sheppard (2) the only multiples. Hampton Park suffered another loss to fall to 0-2; the side came up against a red-hot Chelsea Heights with ex-Demon utility Luke Tapscott. The Redback’s struggled to hit the scoreboard only scoring five goals in their 31 point loss. Tapscott kicking three goals in his side’s victory. Hampton Park’s inaccuracy being the biggest cause for concern, the Redbacks kicking 5.16 to Chelsea Heights 12.5. Redbacks coach Nathan ‘Nanga’ Wilson has rued his sides missed opportunities, and missed chances leading to the loss. “We have played two of the best three sides in the competition,” he said. “We dominated large parts of the game on Saturday; we had five or six more scoring shots as well as well as 70 per cent of the ball. “We couldn’t take our opportunities, but plenty of positives heading into the Easter break.”

Doveton linked up well to go two-nil on Saturday. 275017 Wilson is optimistic his side will bounce back with the inclusion of a mix of experience and youth filtering back into the side “We are only going to improve. After the break will be a good test again,” he said. He is confident he has the right pieces to bounce back. “I wouldn’t change my list for anything,” he said. “Despite the 0-2 start, we are heading in the right direction and our average age is 22/23, I wouldn’t change who I’m coaching

Dales begin in rare form By Tyler Lewis After another crushing victory by Pearcedale on Saturday, it’s hard to recollect a better start to the MPNFL season from the Dales in recent years. The Dales followed up a brilliant win over Devon Meadows last week with a scintillating win over local rival Tyabb. Pearcedale led by 15 points at the main break, before an avalanche of goals in the second half saw the Dales take out a 26.10 (166) to 8.14 (62) win. The Dales kicked 18.6 to 3.7 in the second half, as Cruiz West (four goals) continued his stellar form. Ryan Bastinac also had plenty of the footy to go with his three majors. The Dales had 11 individual goalkickers, with nine of them kicking multiples. Devon Meadows, meanwhile, bounced back with a strong win over Karingal. After a slow start by both sides, the Panthers finished the game strong, securing the 12.11 (83) to 4.9 (33) victory. In other scores across Division 2: Mornington never really looked troubled under lights against Rye, winning 12.12 (84) to 7.13 (55); Hastings claimed a necessary win over Crib Point 14.7 (91) to 11.12 (78); Langwarrin defeated Chelsea 13.11 (89) to 3.4 (22) and Seaford fell to a promising Somerville outfit 12.19 (91) to 8.12 (60). The top flight offered plenty of fascinating results, as the gauge on where the best sides sit becomes harder and harder by the week. Dromana knocked off the highly fancied Frankston YCW, 10.12 (72) to 6.10 (46). Panic will be starting to set in for Bonbeach, who are now 0-2, after suffering a 11.16 (82) to 10.6 (66) defeat to Mt Eliza. 2018 grand final hero Aaron Ludewig booted four in Pines’ 22.17 (149) to 10.11 (71) win over Edithvale-Aspendale. In the other two matches of the round, Sorrento defeated Frankston Bombers 20.13 (133) to 13.11 (89) and Red Hill smashed Rosebud 14.24 (108) to 3.3 (21). Thursday, 14 April, 2022
