Isaacs MP booted from cabinet
RE-ELECTED Isaacs MP has lost the Attorney-General portfolio after reported factional infighting.
Dreyfus has been Attorney-General since the 2022 federal election. He previously served in the role under Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.
Last week, the daily newspapers
reported that Dreyfus’ position was in jeopardy as a result of a factional war. On Thursday it was reported that Dreyfus and fellow MP Ed Husic had been removed from the cabinet.
Dreyfus had extensive experience as a lawyer prior to entering Parliament - he worked as a barrister for two decades, and was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1999.
Among the critics of the move to dump Dreyfus and Husic is former Prime Minister Paul Keating. He said
the decision is “a showing of poor judgment, unfairness and diminished respect for the contribution of others.”
“The Prime Minister has recently made notable ‘captain’s calls’ in a number of otherwise rules-based preselection ballots. His non-intervention in respect of a New South Wales minister on this occasion is, in effect, an endorsement of a representative of another state group in this case, the Victorian Right faction led by Rich-
ard Marles. A faction demonstrably devoid of creativity and capacity,” he said. “And to round out the day, the factional lightweights also dumped the cabinet’s most effective and significant Jewish member, the attorney general, Mark Dreyfus.”
Dreyfus (pictured right on 3 May) was re-elected with an increased majority - with 83 percent of the vote counted he leads Liberal Fiona Ottey by a massive 14.6 percent margin on the two-party-preferred count.
PETS
Fun and friendly canine capers
by RSPCA Victoria
DOGS are naturally inquisitive creatures, most of whom love to explore the world and make new canine friends. As pet owners, we are responsible for their safety and well-being while they do so, which includes checking to ensure they’re playing nice with others.
By watching the body language of your dog and your dog’s friends, you can gain useful insights into how they are feeling and know whether you need to step in or you can give them some space.
Every year, hundreds of Mornington Peninsula locals and their dogs join in RSPCA Million Paws Walk event at the Fred Smith Reserve to
raise funds to fight animal cruelty. If you’re attending events like this, remember to look for signs you’ve got a happy dog, such as sitting or standing in a relaxed pose with open eyes and a wagging tail. A dog that just wants to play will often lower their front half to the ground with their bottom raised in the air and tail wagging.
Peninsula locals who want to know more about our furry friends can register to attend the Mornington Peninsula Million Paws Walk on Sunday 25th May at www.millionpawswalk. com.au/mornington-peninsula
Top 10 reasons to leash your dog
1. Improved companionship. A well-trained and leash-obedient dog is a pleasure to walk with.
2. It’s safer. Your dog’s leash is their ‘lifeline’ protecting them from traffic and unrestrained animals.
3. It’s neighbourly. Preventing your dog from trespassing on property or jumping on people during a walk, gives you both the chance to be properly introduced.
4. It’s rewarding. Your dog will immediately respond with a wagging tail the moment they see you holding their leash, and will appreciate off-leash experiences even more.
5. Less risk of exposure to disease. It’s less likely your dog will be exposed to Parvo, Distemper, or other dog diseases, as they can be restrained from sniffing other animals’ droppings.
6. It helps keep wildlife safe. The sights, sounds and smells of dogs and other domestic pets cause native animals great stress, and can even cause them to leave their homes and their young unprotected.
7. Conservation. Dogs can damage plants and animal habitats by trampling, scratching and digging. This disturbs soil and, along with dogs urine and faeces, can inhibit the growth of native plants, leaving the ground bare and more desirable for invasive plants.
8. Reputation. An obedient and well-behaved dog is a positive reflection of its owner.
9. Reunification. It's easier for someone to help reunite you with your dog if you become separated and they can see a leash and identification tag attached to your dog's collar.
10. It's the law. Kingston has an order in place so everyone can enjoy walking their dogs in a calm and safe environment without risk of being approached by unknown unleashed dogs. It protects other members of the public and your pet from injury. Please be courteous and respect the rules.

Tragedy inspires cancer fundraiser
AFTER losing her father to stomach cancer 20 years ago, Anna Worsnop was inspired to support other people going through the same struggle.
Worsnop has raised more than $60,000 for Cancer Council Victoria by hosting an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event each year. This year the Mentone Life Saving Club will host the annual event on Saturday, 17 May, at 10am.
Worsnop said “I’ve loved hosting my Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea because it connects people affected by all types of cancers.”
“Hosting just makes you feel good, I loved that I could do something for others going through a cancer experience,” she said. “Lots of people have reached out to me over the years and shared their stories, saying my morning tea gave them an opportunity to do something nice on behalf of someone experiencing cancer.”

Cystic fibrosis fundraiser set
AFTER raising more than $8000 for cystic fibrosis research last year, a young rugby fanatic is gearing up to do it all again.
Nine-year-old Spencer Quinnell and his younger brothers Teddy and Stanley have each been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
The money raised was donated to Cystic Fibrosis Community Care and MonashCF.
On Sunday, 25 May, Peninsula Reserve in Frankston will host Spencer’s second rugby league charity match.
Last year Spencer and his parents organised a charity rugby game in Seaford, which raised around $8500.
The under 10s kick off at 11am and the masters kick off 12:30pm. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which impacts the lungs and digestive system.

WHAT’S NEW....
NBA star takes to the court
BASKETBALLERS lining up on court five at the Frankston Basketball Stadium last week got more than they bargained for when Chicago Bulls star Josh Giddey was called in as a replacement player.
Giddey’s NBA season has wrapped up, and he has returned home to Australia. Last week he lined up to play for the Vales Monday Champ Men.
Despite the star power on their side, the Vales’ opponents Bennys Boys locked up a 110-84 win. Blake Jackson scored 50 points and Jesse Lans scored 41.
Despite the defeat Giddey was in good spirits afterwards, stopping to take photos with many interested onlookers who had gathered over the course of the game.
Take the ferry and take a friend for free!
This May and June, Searoad Ferries is offering locals and visitors alike the perfect excuse to take a well-earned break — with the launch of the Best Friends Ferry Sale, inviting passengers to bring a friend along for free.
Running until 30 June 2025, the offer allows anyone who purchases a return Foot Passenger ticket to bring a second passenger at no extra cost. For those travelling with a vehicle, simply book a return Vehicle ticket and receive a free extra passenger fare — a great way to share the trip with a friend or loved one.
The 40-minute crossing from Sorrento to Queenscliff offers more than just a shortcut — it’s a relaxed and scenic way to experience the other side of Port Phillip Bay. Step off the ferry and into the charming seaside town of Queenscliff, where heritage streetscapes, coastal walks, boutique shopping, and the Bellarine’s renowned wineries and eateries await. From dolphin sightings on the water to a day of discovery on land, the journey — and the destination — make for a refreshing winter outing.
Marketing Manager Peter Wallace said, “The ferry is better with friends. Whether you’re looking for a casual day trip or a simple way to reconnect, this offer is designed to make it easy and affordable to do something a little different this winter.”
The Best Friends Ferry Sale is available for online bookings only, using the promo code BFFS at checkout.
With daily sailings and capacity for both foot passengers and vehicles, it’s a stressfree and scenic way to catch up, coast along, and make the most of the cooler months.

Strong action necessary to secure Frankston High School building
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
Despite the repeated assurances that have been received from men in high places to the effect that the construction of the new High School building at Frankston would be proceeded with during the current year, there still appears to be considerable doubt as to whether hopes in this connection will be realised.
Disquieting rumors are current this week to the effect that the Mordialloc claim is being pushed in certain quarters, and that the High School there is likely to be commenced before the Frankston building.
It is also stated that Mr. Frank Groves, M.L.A., is displaying more than ordinary activity in urging the claims of his Mordialloc constituents, and as he has something of a reputation as a “go-getter”, Frankston people have good cause for uneasiness.
It behoves Frankston residents to don their war paint and get into the fight without further delay.
Young Street Improvements
In passing along Young st., Frankston, one cannot help but notice the very fine building which has just been erected, and is occupied by Mr. C. Wood, hairdresser and tobacconist, etc.
It is a double-fronted shop, with white tiles, set up in front.
This greatly adds to the appearance of the building. The brick work was carried out by Mr. S. Lawrey and the wood work by Mr. A. Corlett.
On the one side Mrs. Wood conducts an up-to-date news agency, where books of every description can be obtained.
All school requisites are stocked and
a library conducted with a splendid array of literature by the best authors, and for a nominal fee the very latest books can be obtained.
The opposite side of the shop is the up-to-date tobacconist and hairdressing saloon carried on by Mr. Wood, who has installed the latest furnishings, also an electric urn for the heating of water.
A marble slab is placed in position and used as a table. These and other improvements are noticeable for the comfort of his patrons.
The best brands of tobacco and cigarettes are stocked also.
A visit to this establishment will be well worth while ***
Beach Road Versus Overton Road
At the Council meeting last Friday the fact was mentioned that the Government had made available a large sum of money for road works, with the object of providing relief for the unemployed of Melbourne.
Frankston councillors thought there might be a chance of securing the expenditure of some of this money in the Frankston and Hastings Shire.
The view was expressed by some that the money would be spent in the metropolitan area, and that outside shires would have no chance of securing any portion of the vote.
It was resolved, however, to make application to the Minister on the principle no doubt that if they did not ask they would not receive.
So far, so good. Next came the question of recommending a road to the Minister on which the money, if granted, could be expended.
Cr. McCulloch advocated Overton road, and he was supported by his
Seaford colleagues and a majority of the other councillors.
Crs. Pratt, Wells, Gray and Hutchinson put up a fight for Beach road, which they contended would confer benefits on a large number of people who last winter suffered great hardship owing to the impassable state of this thoroughfare.
Cr. Oates supported Overton road, and argued it was an important connecting link between Dandenong road and the main Melbourne road.
Cr. Wells: There is only one person living on Overton road.
Cr. Pratt reminded the Council of the hardships endured by residents of Beach road during last winter, and said the first opportunity to give relief should be embraced. He believed in the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number.
Cr. McCulloch said it was important to traffic that Dandenong road and Melbourne road should be linked up by the construction of Overton road, and twitted Cr. Pratt with the remark that he (Cr. Pratt) desired to bring the traffic through Frankston irrespective of the requirements of the travelling public.
Cr. Pratt retorted that he was not so much concerned with the requirements of through motor traffic as he was with the needs of their own people, who, in his opinion, should receive first consideration.
Ultimately the resolution recommending Overton road was carried; only Crs. Pratt, Wells, Gray and Hutchinson voting for the amendment in favour of Beach road.

Mr. H. Stell, proprietor of the Peninsula Motor Garage, Frankston, has installed
PUZZLE ZONE
a large lathe, also an oxy-acetylene welding plant, which makes it possible for him to repair all classes of castings and machinery by this process.
His experience with this class of work, in addition to the installation of up-to-date machinery, should interest those motor car owners who require repairs executed promptly and at reasonable cost.
The Peninsula Garage holds the agency for the following cars: Hudson, Essex, and Overland.
These are all of the latest models, and a visit of prospective buyers will be appreciated by Mr. Stell.
Watch for advt. in “The Standard” next week. Big reduction in Overland cars.

Personal
Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus has definitely decided to accept the position of Shire Engineer and Secretary to the Bungaree Shire.
Mr. Henry Masterton, of “Rubra,” Frankston, has been elected to the executive of the Mornington Racing Club, together with Dr. Greer, the popular Dromana medico. Mr. Masterton is the owner of All Sunshine, Horoscope, Bridgehead and Benefix.
The latter was successful in the Warrnambool Cup last week.
Mr. T. Ritchie, of Mornington, and Mr. F. V. Taylor, have taken a holiday trip to Hong Kong. A cable message received from them last week stated that they were just leaving Thursday Island for Honolulu. They are expected back in July.
We regret to learn that the eighteenmonths-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Farley, of Frankston, is still in the
Alfred Hospital. Fortunately, however, a distinct improvement in the child’s condition is reported.
Mr. S. Dobson Hesp, J.P., who died recently at Hobart, was a brother-inlaw of Mrs. Grose, of Wells street, Frankston. He was prominently connected with Victorian Masonic affairs, and was at one time Grand Organist of the Victorian constitution, in addition to editing the Masonic Journal. ***
Enquiries having been made to the Prime Minister (Mr. S. M. Bruce) who is the member for the district, by the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, regarding the pension of Mr. Hugh Morrison.
A reply was read at the Council meeting on Friday, which stated that Morrison was paid a war pension at the rate assessed from time to time for his disabilities incurred through war injuries.
This had been reviewed from time to time by the medical officers of the Repatriation Department.
Since 1920 he had been paid at twothirds rate, or 56/- a fortnight. He had been admitted to the Caulfield Military Hospital. He suffered from gun-shot wounds in the leg, and his pension had been increased to 84/- a fortnight, from February 19. Upon his discharge from the hospital, he will again be assessed for pension on the amount of disability he is suffering, as a result of his war injuries.
A copy of the letter is to be forwarded to the Returned Soldiers’ League. ***

Grieve gives Pines another go
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
THE revolving door through which senior coaches at Frankston Pines have been passing is spinning once more.
Jason Grieve is the “new” Pines senior coach, the fifth man to grab that poisoned chalice in six months.
However this is Grieve’s second stint in the role taking over from Donn Delaney late last year after the latter joined the committee and most of the senior players in the largest mass exodus from a local club this century.
Grieve didn’t last long though and quit in January so what prompted this change of heart?
“I always kept in touch with the club and they knew I was prepared to help them out if the opportunity arose,” Grieve said.
That opportunity was facilitated by the appointment of Ross Evans as director of football and he has enticed Grieve to return along with the appointment of Cal Peacock as reserves coach.
Peacock has had coaching roles at Box Hill, Chelsea, Barton and Seaford United.
Evans also has been busy recruiting players and there has been a remarkable turnaround in numbers at training since he took over four weeks ago.
When Evans was appointed the seniors had just eight players at training but last week there were 31 there and Evans also has been directly responsible for recruiting six players with more signings expected.
The new players are defender Rohullah Abdul Wahid (from Doveton), winger Enis Baftirovski (ex-Dandenong Thunder and Kingston City), midfielder or defender Marc Gavigan (Collingwood City), midfielder Paymon Azimi (Barton United), winger Massood Mohseni (ex-Casey Comets and Berwick City) and central defender Mohammad Mohammadi.
However Grieve and Pines were unable to build on the point earned the previous week when going down 3-0 at home to Somerville Eagles last Friday night.
The visitors broke through in the 39th minute when a Jake Meggs cross was headed home by Marcus Anastasiou.
A minute late it was 2-0 when Alessio Izzo finished a slick attacking move down the right and four minutes into the second half the contest was over when Jack Gorbert sent a probing ball into the box that caught Pines keeper Caleb Parr out of position and found its way into net.
Nevertheless it was a spirited Pines display and was acknowledged as such by Somerville head coach Mark Larner.
“Despite the result Pines showed resilience and encouraging signs of growth,” Larner said.
“Their effort and character throughout the 90 minutes suggest a first win of the season may not be far away.”
In other State 4 news Chelsea lost top spot when going down 3-0 away to Endeavour United last weekend.
Hit on the break three times in the opening halfhour Chelsea’s cause wasn’t helped by injuries to Nathan Boccari and Nathan Gondelle forcing them to be subbed in the first half.
Chelsea, Somerville Eagles and Rosebud all re-
main in the top six after round 7 which is crucial to maintaining their status in next year’s league restructure.
Rosebud downed Lyndale United 3-1 on Saturday evening at Olympic Park.
It wasn’t a great display from the home side but goals from Sean Smith, Finn Gregg and Marcus Collier accounted for the visitors.
Baxter remains in the bottom half of the table after last weekend’s 2-1 away loss to FC Noble Hurricanes.
To make matters worse both Keegan Myatt and Duncan McPherson were sent off and will miss this weekend’s home fixture with league leader Endeavour United.
Myatt scored against the Hurricanes but Baxter was livid with the referee who booked seven Baxter players and one Noble Hurricanes player.
In VPL1 news Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to North Sunshine Eagles last weekend.
Langy was the better side in the first half and led at the break after Tosan Popo set up Archie Macphee for a tap-in at the far post in the 24th minute.
North Sunshine had the better of the second period and Langy failed to take a couple of chances to extend its lead while the home side was much more efficient in front of goal.
In State 1 news Mornington hit a road bump on the promotion path in the form of Hampton East Brighton going down 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.
The visitors took the lead after two minutes when Ahmed Habeeb pounced on Jacob Brito’s under-hit pass and went further ahead after an attempted clearance from Jay Davies fell kindly to Habeeb who rifled it into the bottom corner in the 20th minute.
But Mornington kept pushing forward and was rewarded in the 33rd minute by a stunning strike from James Clark.
The Seagulls had multiple opportunities in the second half to draw level but couldn’t find the fin-

ishing touch while Hampton was a constant threat on the counter.
In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers grabbed a point from neighbour Skye United with a 94thminute equaliser in their thrilling 2-2 derby clash last weekend at Centenary Park.
Strikers led after just three minutes when Campbell Steedman’s pressure forced a turnover from which the quicksilver striker hit a low shot inside the far post.
Ten minutes later Emmanuel Scarlett made it 1-1 from the penalty spot and the visitors hit the front in the 35th minute when Strikers failed to cut out a Jason Nowakowski free-kick to the far post and Varmah Mgoneh made them pay with a firm, low shot from close range.
Skye looked certain to take the points despite Scarlett being shown a straight red for a behindthe-play incident in the 93rd minute but a minute later it was 2-2.
The visitors were defending desperately only to be undone by a deflected strike from Cooper Andrews from the edge of the area.
Strikers head coach Scott Morrison was bitterly disappointed with his team’s display.
“That was one of the worst performances we’ve produced in my time at the club yet we pinched a point late and should’ve won it with almost the last kick of the game,” he said.
Morrison claimed that Strikers were denied two “stonewall” penalties when Joel Bowen and substitute Jai Power were felled inside the area.
In State 5 news two goals in injury time earned home team Mount Martha a point in its 2-2 draw with Pakenham United on Saturday.
Staring down a two-goal deficit and entering time added the home side never gave up.
In the 92nd minute Mitch Hawkins chased hard and won the ball on the byline.
His quick cross was hammered home by Jacob Platt.
A minute later the home side was rewarded for its press when Seth Cooley smashed the ball home
from the edge of the box for a share of the spoils. Mount Eliza prevailed 4-1 at home over Casey Panthers in a physical and spirited clash last weekend.
Harrison Battison put the home side in front in the 32nd minute.
Four minutes into the second half Darcy Purcell’s through ball was finished well by Austin Mcewen and Josh Luca made it 3-0 in the 58th minute.
Shortly after Casey hit back through Lochlan Morgan-Banks but Mcewen’s second in the 76th minute following a fine through ball by Ray Amiri rounded off the scoreline and sent Mount Eliza into second spot on the league ladder.
Seaford United moved into third spot after Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Bunyip District. Blake Hicks and Naseer Mohammad combined to set up Dylan Waugh who scored from close range in the 39th minute.
Two minutes into the second half a Conor Mcfall corner to the back post was headed back across goal by Tristen Stass and Backy Barakzoi’s sweetly struck volley sealed Bunyip’s fate.
Aspendale lost 6-3 away to title favourite Fortuna 60 on Saturday.
The home side was 3-0 up after 20 minutes and although James Macnab pulled a goal back Fortuna struck two more to lead 5-1 at half-time.

Although the visitors continued to push forward Fortuna scored a late goal from a breakaway to complete a convincing win.
