Kingston Council commits to care support
Brodie Cowburn
brodie@baysidenews.com.au
KINGSTON Council has committed to continuing in-home support services amid the federal government’s sweeping aged care reforms.
Major changes to aged care funding were implemented by the federal government on 1 November. The changes have left many vulnerable
clients of care providers concerned that their fees may rise.
Last week, Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley issued a statement assuring Kingston Council residents that council’s AccessCare program will continue to provide its services. The week prior, neighbouring Frankston Council announced it would transition many of its in-home support clients to external providers.
“The City of Kingston is reassuring
local older residents and their families that council remains committed to delivering high-quality in-home support services through its AccessCare program, as the federal government introduces major aged care reforms from November,” Oxley said.
“We want our older residents to feel cared for, informed and supported –not worried.”
The federal government’s reforms will see Home Care Package clients
moved to a new scheme. Oxley said “these reforms may bring changes to how services are funded for some people, but our focus remains exactly the same – ensuring our residents can live independently, safely and with dignity in their own homes.”
“You are not alone in this. Our experienced AccessCare team will walk beside you every step of the way, helping you understand your options and ensuring you continue to receive
the care and support you need. Your wellbeing is our priority – always.”
The mayor has encouraged anyone with questions about the aged care reforms to contact AccessCare at accesscare.org.au or call 1300 819 200.
Frankston Council’s planned cuts to its in-home care services have been labelled “deeply concerning and unclear” by Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea. Continued page 4

WITH a dangerous fire season on the horizon, RSPCA Victoria and the CFA are calling for locals to not to forget their pets in their bushfire survival plans.
Emergency planning is part of life in Victoria, and that includes thinking about how to keep animals safe when conditions turn.
Pet owners are encouraged to include an emergency kit with food, water, bedding, any medication, and copies of vaccination or identification records as part of their plans.
Make sure their microchip and collar details are up to date so it is easier to get reunited if you become separated in an emergency.
When putting together your bushfire plan, consider how you’ll transport your pets, where you’ll take them, and what they’ll need once you get there.
Keep your kit somewhere easy to grab and include towels or woollen blankets to help protect animals from heat or smoke during travel.
For horses and livestock, it’s important to have a separate plan.
If evacuation isn’t possible, move them into a large, well-grazed paddock with secure fencing and access to water.
Avoid leaving it too late to act — last-minute evacuations can be dangerous for both people and animals.
This summer, take a few extra minutes to make sure your pets are part of your Fire Ready plan.
Visit rspcavic.org/emergencyplanning or cfa. vic.gov.au/pets-and-bushfires for more advice.
This summer, Rangers will be at the foreshore to remind dog owners about foreshore regulations and chat about responsible pet ownership.

Mentone tobacco shop gutted by fire
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A MENTONE tobacco shop went up in flames last week in a suspected arson attack.
At around 10.50pm on Friday, 7 November, a car allegedly crashed into a tobacco shop on Como Parade West. Police say that a flammable liquid was used to light a fire inside the building.
The fire gutted the building, causing extensive damage. Nobody was physically injured.
Police say that two alleged offenders fled in a white Toyota Prado which was later seen in convoy with a red sedan.
Chelsea SES were among the emergency services to attend the scene. In a statement issued on 8 November, the SES said “just before 10 this morning, Chelsea SES Orange Team were called to assist police at the scene of a fire bombing of a tobacco shop in Como Parade in Mentone. We were initially called to the same job at 11pm last night, but then the area was deemed to be too unsafe, and so we were stood down until this morning.
“When members Brett and Tim arrived at the scene, they were tasked with propping up the awning of the affected shop, and to do whatever was possible to make it safe. They installed three acrow props, to support the awning, and then assisted the arson squad members with clearing debris in certain affected areas, to as-
sist with their investigation.
“The shop was completely destroyed in the fire, with the businesses on either side also affected.”
Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson has called on residents to rally around the other affected businesses. “Really scary scenes overnight in Mentone with the alleged arson attack, impacting businesses and local residents,” he said on social media after the incident.
“Thank you to our brave and dedicated police, firefighters, paramedics and supporting emergency services, who helped residents in the area and did critical work to contain the fire and keep everyone safe. It will be a very difficult time for Mentone businesses in the coming hours, days and weeks. As a community we will do all we can to support and assist them during this time.”
As of 10 November the alleged offenders are still outstanding. Police have released images of two vehicles of interest to their investigation.

Frankston Council care cuts criticised by MP
Continued from page 1
Behind closed doors at their late October meeting, Frankston councillors voted to transition clients across many of its in-home care programs to external providers. Council services set to be phased out by 30 June next year are personal care, domestic assistance including house cleaning and unescorted shopping, respite care, Home and Community Care Program for Younger People assessment services, meals on wheels and delivered meals for HACC-PYP clients only, home maintenance and modifications including gutter cleaning, flexible service response, and social support individual escorted shopping. (“Council confirms care cuts” The News 4/11/2025)
The changes were confirmed the same week that the federal government’s aged care reforms were implemented. Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said that “throughout this process, the government has repeatedly confirmed funding for local community services, including those delivered by Frankston City Council, will continue until at least July 2027 under the Commonwealth Home Support Program. This commitment is backed by over $10 billion invested nationally in CHSP providers between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2027.”
Around 60 percent of Frankston Council’s current clients are expected to be affected by its decision. Frankston mayor Kris Bolam has defended the decision. “To date, more than 25 Victorian councils, representing around a quarter of the sector, have already withdrawn from direct service delivery. Frankston City Council is one of the few choosing to retain and
strengthen essential programs, including meals on wheels and group social support outings program), along with a new Community Care Advocacy and Navigation Service launching in April 2026,” he said.
“While there is no immediate change to the services our clients receive, we are committed to supporting clients every step of the way. A dedicated community care transition team is already in place to coordinate the transition process, answer questions and assist clients,” Bolam said. “While the changes will affect just over half of council’s 1700 community care clients, including all 180 HACC-PYP clients, they will enable council to strengthen and expand the services it retains — reducing the Meals on Wheels waiting list to zero and stepping up the council-funded social outings transport to help more residents stay connected.
“Council explored a wide range of options for both HACC-PYP and CHSP services, including continuing full-ser-
vice delivery, exiting all service delivery and partial service delivery. Our decision considered community feedback, local service data and financial sustainability, with a partial service delivery model considered the most suitable outcome for our local community.”
Jodie Belyea says she has “requested a meeting with mayor Cr Kris Bolam and the [council] CEO to better understand this decision, and to seek clarity on how they intend to transition services while protecting older residents and staff.”
“As your local representative and a local resident, I believe every older person in Dunkley deserves safe, highquality care. I have been actively engaged to ensure care continues for residents and fair treatment is provided to council’s aged care staff. I will continue to advocate so that residents receive the care they need and that dedicated workers are not financially disadvantaged by changes to their employer,” Belyea said.
Gallery exhibitions open
THREE new exhibitions opened at the Kingston Arts Centre’s galleries last week.
The three exhibitions opened on 6 November.
The Bridge gallery is hosting a mixed media exhibition titled How Far the Light Reaches Jack Lee - a Chinese Malaysian artist whose practice spans across photography, videography, mixed media, and digital art - has put together the exhibition. The works explore resilience, survival, care, and identity through a gender and diversity lens. ROV SuBastian deep sea technology, thermal imaging, and night vision footage has been used to create the images.

Mr. Bruce At Frankston - Prime Minister’s Great Reception in Home Town
Compiled by Cameron McCullough AFTER addressing six other meetings during the day, Mr. Bruce arrived at Frankston at 9 o’clock and received a demonstrative welcome from a crowded audience which packed the main hall and gallery of the Palais.
As he entered the hall, accompanied by Mrs. Bruce, the Prime Minister was greeted with cheer after cheer.
The president of the Shire (Cr. F. H. Wells) presided, and he was supported on the stage by Mrs. Lambie (president of the Frankston branch of the A.W.N.L.), Cr. J. L. Pratt (president of the Returned Soldiers’ Association), Mr. F. S. Bell (president, National Federation), and a large number of prominent citizens.
Mrs. Lambie, in presenting Mrs. Bruce with a beautiful bouquet on behalf of the Frankston branch of the A.W.N.L., said that all admired the splendid way Mrs. Bruce was assisting the Prime Minister. Her services were real helpful to the country. (Cheers).
Mrs. Bruce, in response, thanked the women of Frankston for their thoughtful act, but what she would like best of all would be for them to return her husband at the head of the poll by the biggest majority ever.
(Loud cheers).
Mr. Bruce, in thanking the chairman for the cordial welcome given him, said it was gratifying to find such a splendid demonstration awaiting him in his home town.
Election day was now drawing near – next Saturday. The people would then decide whether they desired constitutional government or to be ruled under the amazing doctrines of
the other side.
It was the most vital problem the people of Australia had ever been called upon to solve. By their votes they would determine whether Australia should continue to progress, whether her workers should live peaceful and contented lives with decent conditions and good wages, and whether the nation should hold fast to the principles of liberty and constitutional government.
It could not be denied that there were in Australia today those who desired to overthrow the democratic form of government and set up in its place a system which had proved a ghastly and tragic failure in the only country where it had been adopted.
Those men had gained considerable power in the trade unions of Australia, yet Labor leaders, instead of casting them out of the Labor movement, had encouraged them, and even obstructed the Government in its efforts to deal with them.
Labor today did not represent the great mass of the Australian people. He believed that most of the Labor leaders believed in the “white Australia” policy, but Mr. Walsh, with whom they were so closely associated, had said quite definitely that he did not believe in it, and did not want a “white Australia.”
Labor was totally opposed to immigration, and Mr. Charlton’s declaration that he did not want Australia to have a voice in the Empire’s foreign policy meant that Labor would have Australia committed to future wars without having a voice in deciding whether they should be waged or not. He appealed to the electors to consider deeply whether they would
hand the reins of government over to a party which was riddled with Communists.
(Applause).
The Prime Minister, referring to the bogus Fascist letter, said: “I now desire to show you to what despicable depths our opponents are prepared to go in order to deceive the electors and attain their ends.
Whilst I was in Sydney last week there were persistent rumors of a last-minute sensation which the Labor Party was going to expose.
Yesterday, in the Sydney Labor Daily, the wonderful sensation appeared. As you are aware, a Fascist organisation has been formed in Australia, and the Government took prompt steps to repudiate it.
I said quite clearly, and I repeat now, we shall permit no organisation to usurp authority in this country, and we will see that the law is obeyed by all persons, irrespective of rank, condition, or belief.”

THE motor ambulance, which was presented to the Mornington Peninsula on October 9, has already done good service.
There has been one case from Frankston and two from Mornington for conveyance to Melbourne hospitals.
Messrs. Taylor & Ritchie, of Mornington, have offered to garage the ambulance car free of cost for the present, but later on, owing to the holiday season they will be unable to do so.
The committee is thus compelled to build a garage. A generous offer has been made by Cr. P. McArthur, president of the Mornington Shire,
PUZZLE ZONE
to allow the erection of a temporary garage on his property in the main street, adjoining the residence of Mr. J. E. Birch, the motor driver. The cost for the materials would be about £20.
Some kind friends have volunteered to give half a day’s work, free of charge, and it is hoped others will offer similar service. The work will be undertaken on a Saturday afternoon very soon.
The committee also appeals to the public of Mornington Peninsula to help financially as soon as possible, as there are only a few more weeks to find provision for the wagon.
Donations will be thankfully received by the committee and acknowledged through the press.

A Frankston Triumph
To show what pay be accomplished by railway transit, the following may be of interest to local people.
A consignment of tender plants (Asters) was on October 29 dispatched from Frankston station to Gympie, in Northern Queensland.
The attempt to rail such perishable goods in hot weather, so great a distance, was looked upon at the time as absurd.
Word has just been received by Mr. A. Earl, of “Solomon’s Springs,” Frankston, who raised and consigned these plants, that after such a journey they were opened up by Mr. J. W. Stuart “in perfect condition.”
No small amount of praise is due to Mr. Anderson, our local stationmaster, for the promptness of dispatch, and the great interest taken by him in the experiment, which, as far as tender seedlings is concerned, was the first ever attempted to Queensland.
Furthermore, it is a fine triumph for Frankston’s product.
***
Brevities
Thirty-one of the local Boy Scouts proceeded to Melbourne on Saturday, with Scoutmaster Thexton in charge, and took part in the march past at Federal Government House, after which they were addressed by Lord Stonehaven, Chief Scout for Australia, and then served with afternoon tea on the lawn.
Keep December 3rd vacant for the special evening at the Mechanics’ Institute, the Somerville Dramatic Society will give “The Morning After,” and the evening will conclude with a dance.
Proceeds in aid of the maintenance of the returned soldiers’ hall. See advt in next issue.
In connection with the old time dances being held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, a fancy dress ball has been arranged for 18th December.
Next Monday night in the Frankston Palais the illustrated lecturettes, “Round the World”. and “Wonders of Shipping,” by Mr. C. Dickson Gregory, will be given in aid of the 1st Frankston troop Boy Scouts.
On election day motor cars will run from Mile Bridge and corner of Kars and Denbeigh streets. Particulars in advt.
At Flinders Naval Depot on Wednesday, 25th November, a dance will take place, the occasion being the visit of the Australian fleet to Westernport.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
10 COMEDY, 7.30pm, M (2002)
The incredible true story of con man Frank Abagnale Jr (Leonardo DiCaprio) proves the perfect subject for Steven Spielberg to helm his most light-hearted yet compelling film in years. In the early ’60s, 16-year-old Abagnale flees his home and creates myriad false identities (and cheques) to charm and procure millions. But he doesn’t reckon on the skills of FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks, right), who is forever on his trail. Spielberg’s story effortlessly alternates between comedy and drama.

This local Death in Paradise spin-off faced serious competition at the Logie Awards, but managed to Most Outstanding Drama Series, so detective Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson, right) and co. must be doing something right. Mack is reluctantly still in Dolphin Cove, trying to work out if she can put her heart on the line and tell her exfiancé Glenn (Tai Hara) how she feels. In the meantime, there’s plenty of cases to solve, starting with the discovery of a poisoned scientist on a boat.

Scoreboard
Tooradin and Somerville remain unbeaten
By Brodie Cowburn WOMENS DIV ONE
A FANTASTIC half-century from Aimee Mellford helped Tooradin extend its unbeaten fun to four games on Sunday.
Tooradin travelled to take on Crib Point. Tooradin was sent in to bat first, and set the Magpies a tricky target to chase down.
Mellford top scored with an excellent unbeaten 50 from 29 deliveries. Maeve Goldberg played a strong supporting role, scoring 28 from 55 deliveries.
After the end of their 20 overs, Too-
radin had scored 3/116.
Crib Point’s run chase got off to a poor start when both openers were sent back to the sheds for ducks. A good knock from Laura Herrington helped get the Magpies back on track, but the damage had already been done.
Crib Point was bowled out for 73.
Erin Macfarlane bowled excellently, taking three wickets for just four runs. She dismissed both openers, and also contributed to a run-out.
Somerville are also undefeated to start the 2025/2026 season. They beat Mt Martha in a scrappy contest last weekend.
Mt Martha batted first at Ferrero Reserve. Openers Angela Dunn and Billie Raymond started well, but their dismissals triggered a dramatic collapse.
Mt Martha scored 8/62 from their 20 overs.
Somerville’s run chase started poorly, with three early wickets falling. Julie Fearns came in as the number four batter and took control of the match.
Fearns’ unbeaten 28 was the difference. Somerville won by six wickets, passing their target with two overs to spare.
Around the grounds, Balnarring
picked up a comfortable win over Tyabb at home, and Rye/Boneo beat Mt Eliza at RJ Rowley Reserve.
WOMENS DIV TWO
A BRILLIANT showing from skipper
Amanda Linford helped Frankston YCW pick up a win over Baxter in MPCA Division Two action last weekend.
The Stonecats hosted the match at Peninsula Reserve. Linford opened the batting, and ended up retiring unbeaten after a half-century.
Frankston YCW scored a formidable 3/118 from their 20 overs.
Baxter didn’t get close to their target. After 20 overs they finished up their innings at 9/67, with most of their runs attributed to sundries.
Delacombe Park remained on top of the ladder after a good win over Sorrento on Sunday.
The Sharks struggled with the bat, scoring 6/66 from their 20 overs. Delacombe Park chased down that target with five wickets and six overs left to spare.
Carrum Downs succumbed to a 31 run defeat at the hands of Carrum Maroon to close out the round. Flinders’ clash with Seaford Tigers was abandoned.
The Mornington Yacht Club sailing season is well underway with racing on Tuesday afternoons, Thursday Twilight, Saturday Championships and Aggregate races as well as Off The Beach racing on a Sunday.

winner of the race was Daddy Cool skippered by Dave Eickmeyer with an elapsed time of 00:51:26.

Scoreboard The
O’Connell aims high for Baxter
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHARLIE O’Connell hopes to celebrate Baxter’s 50th anniversary next year with promotion from State 4 South-East.
The 27-year-old returned to Baxter Park last season after winning successive promotions with Bayside Argonauts in 2023 and 2024 so success is no stranger.
“We can’t afford to make the same slow start (next year) that we made last season,” O’Connell said.
“That was maybe down to having the wrong personnel and possibly a bit of complacency.
“I think with a few more quality players we could be in the running for promotion.”
The State Leagues restructure has widened the opportunity for success for Baxter as the top two teams in the new State 4 South-East will be guaranteed promotion rather than just the championship winner.
“It’ll begin in pre-season – what the players’ attitude is, who is there and what Billy (Armour) has to say.
“He’s been communicating with a lot of the guys already to make sure we’re doing our own training and looking after ourselves so it looks to me that he’s really hungry for success and a lot of the players are too.”
The twists and turns of O’Connell’s football odyssey have seen him celebrate both team and personal achievements but the low point was the psychological and physical after-effects of a knee reconstruction.
Born in Frankston he started playing football at the age of four with Mornington.
When he was 13 he switched to Peninsula Strikers for three seasons then had two seasons at Dandenong Thunder in the under-16s and under-18s.
“We had a really good under-18s side and won the NPL title that year.”
O’Connell was now an apprentice plumber and concentrating on his job interfered with the demands of NPL so he returned to Mornington keen to team up with long-time friends.
He was part of Adam Jamieson’s senior squad preparing for the 2019 season when disaster struck and he tore an anterior cruciate ligament.
“My rehab was a bit up and down because some weeks I was motivated and others I just couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.
“When I started playing again I went to Baxter because a lot of my friends were there but I wasn’t confident about my knee holding up in fact it wasn’t until my second season with Bayside
(2024) that I gained that confidence and this year I played the most games I’ve played since doing my ACL.”
The first full season post-COVID was in 2022 and Baxter was struggling for numbers and quality.
Eyebrows was raised and there was critical commentary made when O’Connell, Nat Daher and Luke Grant left Baxter in State 4 midway through the season to play for Mazenod in State 1.
Mazenod was last when they joined and finished the season at the foot of the table with one win to its name and a negative goal difference of 60.
“We were at an age where it was important to us to try and play at a higher level,” O’Connell said.
“We wanted to train at a higher level with better players which results in you becoming a better player and I needed to test myself.
“In hindsight it still was a good move because we were surrounded by better players and there was much more intensity at training and the players’ attitudes were better.”
There was another reason the trio quit Baxter.
“It was really frustrating back then.
“Although we had some talented
players and some good young players we just weren’t able to get results.
“That was down to the attitude we had as players and – not that this reflects on George (Hughes) and Robbie (Mathieson) who were absolutely brilliant coaches for us – a lack of professionalism more so from the players rather than the club.”
O’Connell sees marked differences in the Baxter of today from the one he left.
“The players’ attitude has definitely shifted and there’s a lot of younger players coming in now.
“It’s going to be really interesting to see what happens with a lot of teams being relegated this year.
“There’s going to be a lot of interest from better players in those teams to play at our level.
“I’m glad I went back to Baxter.
“Everything I wanted when I left is there now and it’s a much more professional environment.
“I’ve got a good group of teammates and everyone’s gelling really well which hasn’t always been the case there with people clashing and people doing things that probably shouldn’t happen in football.
“It seems to me that now they’ve got
the right recipe to succeed.”
A measure of O’Connell’s contribution to the Baxter cause this year was his best and fairest and players’ player awards presented at the club’s recent presentation night.
“The players’ player really meant a lot to me.
“To have your peers vote for you not just for your ability as a player but hopefully how you apply yourself as an individual throughout the club is pretty special.”
Still in State 4 and one of the most sought-after players on the peninsula has decided to stay at Chelsea.
James Stinson has snubbed a number of suitors and that’s great news for the Edithvale Recreation Reserve outfit and head coach Gus Macleod.
Stinson is an ex-Sunderland academy player who has topped the scoring charts at Chelsea in his two seasons there.
Last season he was the runaway winner of the league Golden Boot award with 36 goals, 18 more than his nearest rival.
“He’s had a few clubs in his ear but credit to him for staying,” Macleod said.
There were a number of factors that
influenced Stinson’s decision.
“The ambition of the club is clear and there is definitely some unfinished business with us coming so close to promotion last season,” Stinson said.
“With some of the stronger teams joining from the East it also feels like a new challenge and there may be less of a gap between top and bottom come the end of the year.
“Finally the group of lads and coaching staff at Chelsea make it a genuinely enjoyable club to be a part of.”
Meanwhile for those keen to get their football fix Langwarrin’s busy pre-season schedule kicks off on Saturday 22 November.
Jamie Skelly’s men are up against a UK tour squad with an 11am kick-off at Lawton Park.
This is the first of six pre-season games Langwarrin will play prior to Christmas.
Skye United also starts a pre-season game schedule on Saturday 22 November when it plays against Geelong in a venue yet to be confirmed.
We hope to publish Skye’s five game pre-Christmas schedule next week.

National Recycling Week 10–16
Join the cycle: the journey of your 10-cent containers
HAVE you ever wondered what happens to your drink cans, bottles and cartons after you return them for a 10-cent refund through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic)?
With this week being National Recycling Week (10–16 November), CDS Vic shares what happens next, and how every returned container helps power Victoria’s circular economy.
This year’s theme, Join the Cycle, perfectly aligns with the mission of CDS Vic: keeping eligible drink containers in the recycling loop so they can be remade into new products again and again.
“National Recycling Week is a timely reminder of our shared commitment to a more sustainable Victoria,” said Marianne Doyle, Interim CEO of VicReturn, the coordinator of CDS Vic.
“Recycling eligible drink containers means fewer virgin materials are needed to make new bottles and cans, reducing our impact on the environment,” she said.
The recycling process begins when Victorians return their drink containers at one of the hundreds of refund points across the state. From there, they’re sorted by material type and sent to recycling facilities to be processed back into new products.
Here’s where your containers go next: Plastic bottles are sorted by material type (PET, HDPE and others) and recycled at facilities in Victoria. They’re cleaned, shredded into flakes, melted down, extruded and turned into pellets, then used to make new products.
Glass bottles are cleaned and sorted by colour into glass cullet, at facilities in Victoria and South Australia. The cullet is then sent to glass manufacturing plants in Victoria and South Australia that use it in the production of new glass bottles and jars.
“Glass can be infinitely recycled, so returning your glass bottles through CDS Vic helps conserve our natural resources,” Mrs Doyle said.
Aluminium cans are bailed before being shipped overseas to be reprocessed into aluminium coils. These are returned to Australia where they are used to make new drink cans.
Since launching in November 2023, CDS Vic has helped Victorians recycle more, reduce litter and keep valuable materials out of landfill.
Victorians have returned 2.3 billion drink containers, earning $230 million in refunds.
CDS Vic proudly supports Planet Ark’s National Recycling Week, which has encouraged Australians since 1996 to reduce, reuse and repurpose their waste.
Join the cycle this National Recycling Week by collecting and returning eligible drink containers for a 10-cent refund at your nearest CDS Vic refund point. Visit cdsvic.org.au to learn more.
Return your empties this National Recycling Week and help the planet and your pocket.
