Councils team up over pothole danger Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
THE Stonecats’ MPFNL mens reserves team suffered a loss at the hands of Mt Eliza on Saturday (29 August), but live on to fight another week. Their teammates in seniors weren’t as fortunate, eliminated by Mt Eliza by just two points. See ‘The Scoreboard’ - Page 21. Picture: Paul Churcher
AHEAD of the November election, bayside councils have teamed up to demand that the state governemnt spend more money to fix potholes on Nepean Highway. Kingston and Bayside Councils have joined forces to call for urgent intervention on potholes and deteriorating road surfaces across the two municipalities. Nepean Highway has been highlighted as an area of particular concern. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said that residents “should not have to put up with deteriorating state roads.” “Our residents shouldn’t have to dodge potholes on the way to work, school or home,” Cr Oxley said. “Councils invest heavily in maintaining the roads we’re responsible for, and we expect the state government to do the same with its roads. “This is about making sure fixing these roads is a priority. Our community deserves safe, reliable roads – not more excuses.” Bayside Council mayor Debbie
Taylor-Haynes is also advocating for funding - she said “these are major roads used by thousands of people every day, yet too many are being left to deteriorate. “Potholes and poor road surfaces aren’t just frustrating; they can damage vehicles and create genuine safety risks. The state government needs to step up, fix these roads properly and keep them maintained,” Cr TaylorHaynes said. The push for road funding forms part of Kingston Council’s “Put Kingston First” campaign, targeting state funds in the lead-up to the November election. Kingston Council is also asking the winning party to fund upgrades to early childhood centres in Dingley Village and Edithvale; the Kingston Arts Precinct in Moorabbin and the Mordialloc Community Centre; the Edithvale–Seaford Wetlands boardwalk; shopping precincts including Chelsea, Highett, Parkdale, and Dingley Village; and sporting facilities across the municipality to support growing numbers of female players.

Bird flu detected in Frankston THE first case of H5N1 bird flu in Frankston has been recorded. The bird flu outbreak has been a matter of concern nationwide. More than 300 confirmed cases have been identified across Australia during this outbreak, with the first in Frankston recorded on 22 August. Agriculture Victoria states that the Frankston case is among “Gulls, Terns and Noddies”. After the announcement, Frankston Council issued a statement urging caution. “While only a small number of cases have been confirmed, there are likely to be many more within the municipality that are not yet detected,” Frankston Council said. “The risk to human health remains low. There is no evidence that this strain spreads between people and any infections will only occur following close contact with sick birds or mammals. “Remember these three steps if you encounter dead or sick birds or wildlife in Frankston City: Avoid, Record, Report. Avoid contact with the birds or wildlife and their environment; record what you see and the bird’s location; and report wildlife sickness or deaths online or call the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.” Council also encouraged residents to protect their pets by keeping their dogs on leads at parks, and keeping cats inside. It has also told residents to “dispose of food waste properly and securely and keep rubbish bins closed to avoid attracting birds and
other wildlife.” In response to the bird flu outbreak, poultry owners with 50 or more birds in coastal and southern shires are required to confine their birds. This rule, in place until at least 18 September, includes Frankston Council. Victorian Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Graeme Cooke, said “over the past fortnight we have seen many disease events along Victoria’s coastline. The majority of these have been in birds that tend to stay close to the coast, reinforcing that poultry in southern parts of the state are most at risk.” “Reducing contact between poultry and wild birds is one of the most effective ways to lower the risk of disease entering a flock, so we’re reminding poultry producers of the importance of maintaining strict biosecurity practices,” Dr Cooke said. “It’s important that poultry owners review their biosecurity plans, remain alert for signs of disease and stay updated on the latest advice.” Brodie Cowburn

Police inspect pubs during operation 33 LICENSED premises have been inspected by police across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula as part of an effort to curb underage drinking and antisocial behaviour. Police conducted the two-day operation across 21 and 22 August. In that time they issued nine penalty infringement notices to crowd controllers for alleged private security compliance offences. Police also allege they issued infringement notices to two 17-yearold boys for using fake IDs while attempting to enter a venue on Davey Street in Frankston.

The operation also focused on nearby roads: a driver who allegedly failed to stop at a red light while drink-driving on Nepean Highway in Frankston lost his licence, and a disqualified driver was intercepted in Frankston North. Police say the 34-year-old Frankston North man “is expected to be charged on summons with driving whilst disqualified and possessing a prohibited weapon.” Victoria Police Frankston Uniform Sergeant Paul Holtzinger said “with Schoolies just around the corner, we are preparing for the annual influx of
visitors along the coast.” “We are sending a very clear message to all licensed premises that we are watching to ensure they do the right thing and put patrons first – no matter the time of the year. They need to be across their obligations, which includes the responsible service of alcohol, checking identification of patrons, not going over capacity limits, and there is appropriate crowd control,” he said. “We want people to go out and have fun – but please do it in a way that will not put you or anyone else in harm’s way.”

Teen bailed after alleged hit-run A TEENAGER has been charged with reckless conduct endangering life after an alleged hit-run in Frankston last week. A 44-year-old woman and her dog were both hurt while walking on the footpath on Franciscan Avenue last Tuesday, 25 August. Police allege that a grey sedan, stolen from Frankston earlier that day, struck the woman and drove away. The woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police allege that the driver continued for a short distance before

A 17-year-old boy from the Mornington Peninsula area was arrested and later charged with 17 offences, including reckless conduct endangering life; reckless conduct endangering serious injury; drive in manner dangerous; careless driving; fail to stop vehicle after an accident; fail to render assistance after accident; four counts of possess controlled weapon; unlicensed driving; burglary; and theft of motor vehicle. He was bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
Fatal crash in Seaford A WOMAN has died after a threevehicle crash on the Nepean Highway in Seaford. Police allege that a car travelled onto the wrong side of the Nepean Highway and struck another car at around 4pm last Monday, 24 August. The second car was then hit by a third vehicle. The driver of the first car died at the scene. She was the sole occupant of the car. The driver of the second car, a
48-year-old-man, was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the third car, a 50-year-old-man, was not injured. In a statement, Victoria Police said the investigation is “ongoing”. “Anyone who witnessed the collision or with dashcam vision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au,” Victoria Police said.
Massive improvement in hearing aid technology Imagine a hearing aid that only amplifies clear speech. Imagine walking into a busy restaurant and the only thing you hear louder is the clear speech of the people close to you. Not the incoherent speech that has morphed into babble. Not the clinking of glasses or clashing of plates. Not the outside traffic. Not the air conditioner or fan. Imagine that the only thing you hear better are the voices of the people close to you.
For millions of hearing impaired people the worst places to hear are in noisy restaurants and clubs. The problem is that EVERY hearing aid for the past 60 years amplifies EVERYTHING. It is unable to effectively differentiate between speech and every other unwanted sound that drowns out speech.
Well, imagine no more. We invite you to test drive the latest breakthrough in
hearing aid technology that will revolutionise how you hear in noisy, demanding environments. Experience hearing like you never thought possible. Some of our clients with SEVERE hearing losses are hearing better in noisy restaurants than people with normal hearing. Hard to believe I know, so put us to the test and experience this incredible breakthrough for yourself.
UNMATCHED SPEECH CLARITY Imagine, hearing clearly in noise! Introducing a hearing aid that offers exceptional speech clarity as it separates unwanted noise from speech, delivering a level of clean and clear speech far beyond any existing technology, thereby allowing you to engage with friends, family and colleagues even in the noisiest environments.

Diesel spill in Kananook Creek ‘managed’ A DIESEL spill in Kananook Creek will continue to be monitored. In a statement, Melbourne Water said it had “successfully managed the diesel spill”, which was first reported in the waterway on 5 August (EPA investigates Kananook Creek oil slick” The Times 11/8/2026). “Monitoring indicates the spill no longer poses a risk to Kananook Creek or the local community. As a precaution, the booms located near Bardia Avenue will remain in place while we continue monitoring the waterway,” Melbourne Water said. “Over the coming weeks, our teams will continue to inspect and monitor Kananook Creek. We are continuing to work closely with Frankston City Council and Environment Protection Authority Victoria. “Thank you to the community for your patience and cooperation while response and monitoring activities were underway.”

Trail plans for reserve unveiled THE Level Crossing Removal Project has unveiled plans for an “interpretive trail” which will run throughout Groves Reserve in Aspendale. The removal of coastal banksias and vegetation from Groves Reserve early last year prompted condemnation from local environmentalists, the state opposition, and Kingston Council. At the time, Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “the removal of these trees is an unacceptable environmental loss for our community. Groves Reserve holds immense historical and ecological value, and it is devastating to see trees continue to be cut down despite our repeated calls for a reprieve.” (“Banksia bulldozing unacceptable” The Times 5/3/2025) The LXRP has now revealed its plans for the reserve. In a statement it said “in partnership with Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, the Registered Aboriginal Party encompassing the project area, we’ve created an interpretive trail throughout Groves Reserve, Aspendale.” “The interpretive trail gives visitors a place to learn about Bunurong culture, history and ecological knowledge through the natural environment, path details and interpretive signage. This location was chosen because it reflects the area’s continued importance as a significant place for Bunurong peoples. The area has been a place for generations of Bunurong people to meet and camp, sharing stories, song and tradition,” the LXRP
said. The LXRP says the trail will feature “a communal gathering area made of reclaimed tree stumps and logs that supports biodiversity and soil health” and a “dry creek – featuring sedges and other native grasses – running throughout the centre of the trail.” Those who opposed the tree removals at Groves Reserve early last year have voiced their disapproval at the new plans. Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League’s Travis Howell said the design would “limit any future planting.” “There are already too many limitations on Groves Reserve for planting, which were not expected,” he said. “The Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League fought hard to make sure the seeds from the removed trees in Groves Reserve were returned to Kingston Council for future planting, but we will not get the chance to even restore the nature reserve.” The project was undertaken as part of the LXRP’s removal of level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale. The new Mordialloc Station opened on 21 May. Brodie Cowburn

Bipartisan commitment to protect green wedge Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au IN the wake of revelations developers have been lobbying for the rezoning of green wedge land for housing, both Labor and the Liberal Party have committed to not altering the current Urban Growth Boundary. The commitment would see the green wedge protected into the future, whether Labor or the Liberals win the poll in November. The move comes after The Times reported a developer met with Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Mark Stoermer with a plan to build 2000 houses in green wedge land between Mornington and Mt Martha (MP claims Labor planning to rezone large tract of green wedge, The Times 18/8/26). In an email seen by The Times, the developer wrote “…I outlined a proposal for the potential development of the land immediately east of the Mornington & Mt Martha townships – the land is bounded by the Moorooduc Hwy, Craigie Rd, the Balcombe Creek and Mornington-Tyabb Rd. The consolidated site has the potential to yield over 2000 homes and could delivery (sic) extensive areas of public open space, a sports field, possible school site, indoor sports centre, cultural centre and a convenience retail facility”. In parliament on Wednesday 12 August, Member for Nepean Anthony Marsh addressed Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny on the matter. “The minister’s department claims

that Mornington Peninsula is 1700 homes short of their housing target despite the shire finding sufficient capacity within existing townships,” said Marsh. “We know of a proposal involving multiple landholders of more than 2000 homes, just above the claimed shortfall, on green wedge land outside the urban growth boundary between Mornington and Mount Martha, with registered interests already secured over multiple properties. “Will the minister categorically rule out rezoning green wedge land or expanding the urban growth boundary anywhere on the Mornington

Peninsula to meet the minister’s new housing targets and the 1700 homes shortfall the minister’s department now claims is needed?” The Times reached out to Kilkenny’s office after Marsh’s speech and received a reply: “There has been no meeting from the Minister for Planning or her office to discuss this matter”. While Kilkenny has conceding there is pressure from property interests to change the Urban Growth Boundary, she told The Times last week it would not be extended. “Green wedges play an important role in supporting agriculture, jobs,
tourism and open space around Melbourne, which is why we have a plan to strengthen protections for them,” said Kilkenny. “Building more homes for families doesn’t have to come at the expense of our green wedges and we know Victorians want us to protect these areas.” “Jess Wilson’s Liberal One Nation coalition continue to try and block homes where people want them forcing young Victorians out of the housing market.” “Last time the Liberals were in power they expanded the Urban Growth Boundary - building new
suburbs without the infrastructure and services needed to support them.” Deputy Leader of the Victorian Liberal Party David Southwick told The Times “The Liberals have a long history with the green wedge, having established the concept under the Bolte Liberal government in 1971. Since then, we have proudly honoured that legacy.” “It is important that the green wedges are managed in line with community expectations, which is exactly what our More Homes, More Choice policy delivers by returning planning decisions to locals.”

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY
NINE, 7.30pm
FRIDAY
SPY/MASTER SBS, 10.40pm
If you’re someone who finds international dramas where everyone speaks English unrealistic, be careful what you wish for. This cinematic Cold War thriller switches organically between English, Romanian, German, Arabic and Russian, depending on who’s speaking. The six-part story follows a rather perilous week in the life of fictional figure Victor Godeanu (Alec Secareanu, above right), the right-hand man to actual Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu (Claudiu Bleont) in 1978. Rightly fearful he’s about to be exposed as a Soviet spy, Victor takes a diplomatic trip to Germany as his chance to defect to the United States.
After last year’s Block saw bold colour-drenched rooms feature prominently, the class of 2026 has been much more sparing when it comes to highimpact hues. Beige, cream and natural tones have ruled supreme, but judge Shaynna Blaze declared during last night’s judging that the design “needs a defibrillator” and halfway through the competition, the teams are finally starting to see the light. This week’s guest suites introduce a green marble benchtop and pink tiling (don’t worry, they’re in separate houses) to the rather pallid palette we’ve seen so far. There’s also plenty of colourful commentary as 2018 contestant Spence Thomson steps in to help Tayla while dad Rick (both above) is recovering in hospital.
SBS, 7.30pm
Knee deep in Scottish stereotypes – from tartan and haggis to bagpipes and deep-fried Mars bars – Shaun Micallef guides comedian Luke McGregor (below right) on a tour of his ancestral homeland. The Hobart-born Rosehaven star admits he doesn’t know much about where his family comes from – and is surprised to learn his great-grandfather’s first name, let alone what he did for a living or why he left for Australia in 1930. After getting “kilted up” in Edinburgh, the travelling companions embark on an immersive journey through McGregor’s family tree. 0409

Committee looks at Cerberus sell-off, as environment group digs in for fight Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au ENVIRONMENT group Save Westernport has appeared as the first witness at a Senate Estimates Hearing held at the Queenscliff Town Hall last week (24 August) into the planned disposal of Defence estate assets, including land at HMAS Cerberus. The hearing was held as it emerged a firm currently banned from government contracts is the “Strategic Industry Partner” for the divestment process. The planned “partial divestment” of HMAS Cerberus was announced by Defence Minister Richard Marles on Wednesday 4 February as part of a massive sale of 35,000 hectares of defence real estate – including some of the nation’s most historic barracks – that is expected to raise almost $2b (HMAS Cerberus to be ‘partially divested’ in defence land sell-off, The Times 10/2/26). A community consultation was
held in Crib Point on 10 June with an estimated crowd of around 300 confirming the lack of local support for the commercial sale, subdivision, or development of the land (Fiery meeting over Cerberus sell-off plans, The Times 16/6/26). Subsequent to that meeting, the shire developed a draft submission that states its advocacy position for the preferred future use of the land is primarily for conservation purposes with limited recreation, tourism and aquaculture uses that protect and enhance the special ecological values of the site. Further, that at least five per cent of the divestment proceeds be used to deliver increased social housing stock on the Mornington Peninsula, within the Urban Growth Boundary. The draft document details reasoning for the shire’s advocacy position that focuses on long term conservation, including unsuitability for agriculture, susceptibility to coastal inundation, and unsuitability of surrounding infrastructure for urban
development. The draft document was put out for a term of public consultation that concluded last week (25 August). At the public hearing on 24 August the president of Save Westernport, Jane Carnegie, said Cerberus should not be divested for commercial sale. “We, as a community, say hands off. This land is not for sale,” said Carnegie. “Cerberus is of the highest environmental significance with its diverse ecosystems, endangered species, migratory birds and border with the Ramsar Wetlands of Westernport. “‘It must be preserved for conservation and its flora and fauna protected. “This land is completely unsuitable for development and would cost more to remediate than it is worth, let alone be suitable for development with an operating defence training base at its centre.” Carnegie told the senators of critical systemic flaws in the divestment process beginning with the report
that recommended the sale. “The whole process is flawed beginning with the Terms of Reference for the Audit Report, which did not even mention environmental and indigenous heritage. These aspects were never considered by the consultants proposing the commercial sale,” said Carnegie. “We fail to see how the government can recommend these sites be part of the current process. No analysis of these sites was undertaken and no evidence presented to support the sale.” The divestment process is being managed with consultancy firm KPMG as the “Strategic Industry Partner” undertaking the roles of due diligence, risk assessment, and proposing recommendations to the government. KPMG has been scandal-plagued in recent times and is currently banned from tendering for government contracts while the government investigates the firm’s practices. The Department of Finance said,
in a 16 June announcement, they are the body “responsible for managing the Commonwealth’s response to the ethical concerns arising from KPMG’s use of confidential client information, and forming a wholeof-government view on KPMG’s ethical soundness”. “To support Finance’s consideration, Finance will commission an independent review of KPMG’s governance, culture, ethics and integrity frameworks.” The current ban from tendering for government contracts does not affect previously awarded contracts, including that of “Strategic Industry Partner” for the Defence land divestment process. The News believes KPMG’s contract for the role resulted in a $16.8m payday for the firm. The Senate Reference Group is due to report on 15 September and the transcript and Save Westernport’s full submission is available at savewesternport.org.

Avoid, record and report bird flu Thank you for reporting on the distressing spread of H5 bird flu on the Peninsula (Bird flu cases climb on Peninsula as mass casualty event feared, The News 24/8/26). Deaths in birds, seals, and a dolphin have now been recorded across Australia, and the pace of new cases is accelerating. Even a fox has likely contracted the virus. Members of the public are being asked to “Avoid”, “Record” and “Report” any sick or dead wildlife that may have contracted the virus. We can also help protect our precious wildlife by safeguarding their coastal and bush homes and urging governments to do the same. It is a precarious time for Australia’s nature. Amy Hiller, Kew
The fact remains the land corridor between Mornington and Mount Martha: n is zoned Green Wedge Zone (GWZ) n is outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) n has no exhibited or approved rezoning amendment n has no ministerial rezoning decision Anthony Marsh is not the local member of land named, not a shadow minister for housing or planning, and not responsible for Green Wedge policy. His comments relate to matters outside his electorate and portfolio, and demonstrate a lack of understanding of the planning framework governing the Peninsula. Craig Thomson, Rosebud
Animal shelter support
How much per pothole?
I am writing in support of Rosy Fischer (Pet advocacy, Letters 25/8/26) whose letter clearly describes what needs fixing at the Mornington Peninsula Animal Shelter. Surely free or low-cost desexing and microchipping for all low/no income earners would be a massive cost-saver for the shire. Less animals breeding resulting in less strays, therefore less unwanted animals impounded and possibly euthanised. An extension to the shelter’s open hours would assist the adoption process and be a gain for potential adopters, also for those who need to reclaim lost pets from the shelter. The shelter’s Facebook posts are unprofessional. Particularly for cats, the animals’ names and character/needs etc. are often not shown. Potential adopters need to be able to easily identify the animal they wish to meet and hopefully adopt. Heather Cooke, Mornington
Government ads
After many years of requests, the Victorian Government has finally decided to publish a public safety advertisement in our local newspaper. The full-page advertisement for Quit and Cancer Council promotes quitting smoking to improve health. Over the years, local newspapers around Victoria have received Victorian Government funding for public safety campaigns including water safety/drowning, bushfires, TAC road safety, WorkSafe and more. The Geelong and Latrobe Valley newspapers had up to four advertisements each week paid for by the Victorian taxpayer. Why did the people of the Mornington Peninsula miss out on these important public safety campaigns? The ‘Unsinkable Guy’ water safety ads should have been published every summer on the Mornington Peninsula – especially for tourists. Hopefully we will see more bushfire and water safety advertisements over the coming months in our local Mornington Peninsula newspapers. Dale Stohr, Crib Point
Liberal’s plan?
Anthony Marsh claims (MP claims Labor planning to rezone large tracts of Green Wedge, The News 13/8/26) raises some questions about his protection of the green wedge as opposed to other local Liberals. Who so often calls for the Mornington Peninsula to be classified as regional or “peri-regional” to access different government grants. To have a status such as regional or periregional would see us lose the green wedge protections entirely. If this were to happen and then we were able to get the same funding as Geelong, would the peninsula then rival Geelong as the largest regional population in Victoria? So does Anthony Marsh have a different position to other Liberals who have called for the Mornington Peninsula to be classified as regional or have the other Liberals changed their position?
To Frank Schiefler - Liberal candidate for Hastings: 5 billion to fix one million potholes? That’s $5000 a pop! Maybe a different contractor? And what are you doing wandering around counting potholes at a time like this? Besides, wasn’t that Anthony Marsh’s line? Paula Polson, Dromana
Global warming
To blame fossil fuel companies for global warming is equivalent to blaming toilet-roll manufacturers for your bowel movement. They are simply satisfying a commercial demand. As the effects of the Strait of Hormuz closure has rippled through the world, imagine what a world without any fossil fuels would look life. All our cars, TV, solar panels, phones, cable insulation, plumbing pipes are made using coal, gas, and oil. Similarly, our detergents, beauty products, paint, roads, roof tiles and concrete. Virtually everything. It is those same fossil fuels that Australia exports to pay overseas manufacturers for all those goods you desire. We don’t make them here. If, like me, you are addicted to creature comfort, then you are addicted to fossil fuels. If you live in a raw cotton tent, roasting possum over an open fire, I applaud you. The rest of us are totally responsible for global warming, by demanding fossil fuel production to feed our addiction. Cook a meal of fertilised vegetables, have a shower, flush the toilet, turn off the lights then get in your car and drive down to the beach to watch the sun go down on humanity. Somewhere out there is a creature crawling out from under a rock on its way to being the new world curator. Let’s hope it does a better job than us. John Dusting, Mornington
Keep your dog on a leash
On the weekend, I visited Balcombe Estuary Reserve. My friend took her small dog, on lead, I took my camera to photograph native birds. Dog owners are lucky to be permitted to walk their dogs, on leash, in this beautiful wetland and woodland reserve. I was quietly taking pictures of wrens and fantails when a large gun dog came barrelling down a hill, through the undergrowth, towards us. We were both alarmed and shouted at it. The owner, who must have been walking on another track, out of sight, called the dog back from a distance. The experience was frightening. My friend’s dog had previously been attacked by a large dog off lead. It was also infuriating. Wildlife, which gives so many of us pleasure, is under threat from many directions. The simple act of putting your dog on a lead removes one of those threats. If a few irresponsible dog owners continue to release their dogs to chase wildlife, dogs will no doubt be banned from the Estuary Reserve in the future, disadvantaging responsible dog owners. And a message to that dog owner. If you don’t care about wildlife, think of your dog.
Go back to where you came from RECENTLY, two women were having a quiet drink at a bar in Dromana. A stranger approached their table and asked one of them: “Where are you from?” She replied: “Dromana”. He asked again, this time aggressively: “Where are you really from?” She replied: “What relevance does this have?” The other woman then said: “Surely you can see that my friend is African. “Yes,” he replied. “You are a liar saying you are from Dromana. You should go back to where you came from.” Although my friend has experienced racism before, she had never been told to go back to Africa. Courageously, the bystanders (her friend and a waitress) told the man to go away. Fortunately, he did. When my friend told me about this experience, I felt extremely sad. My friend has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for more than 20 years. How dare this man make her feel unsafe. However, I was not just sad for her, but also our country. We are a multicultural nation with an Indigenous heritage. Australia is widely recognised as one of the world’s most successful multicultural societies. According to the Bureau of Statistics, about half of all Australians are either born overseas or have a parent who was born overseas. Despite the success of Australia’s migration programs, the leader of One Nation Pauline Hanson declared during an inflammatory address to the National Press Club that Australia cannot be multicultural. We must be a “monocultural society”. Hanson also lamented the end of our White Australia policy on a podcast with a far-right UK activist who goes by the name ‘Tommy Robinson’. In another media interview, Hanson claimed there are “no good Muslims”. Has One Nation’s focus on Muslims, migration and multiculturalism caused an escalation of racial prejudice, hostility and division? Or perhaps the escalation of hostility is the consequence of Trump, Brexit, social media algorithms, the manosphere and the re-emergence of far-right white nationalism? The bloke who intimidated my friend was an older white man, estimated to be around 60 years old. According to recent research, most One Nation voters are Anglo-Aussie men over 50 who hold trade qualifications. Bird flu has arrived on the Mornington Peninsula. If your dog eats or rolls in a dead bird, he may contract the virus. Cherie Wilson, Rosebud
Water bill increase?
The Carroll government has announced that it wants to privatise Melbourne Water and has contracted Ernst Young to work out a process to sell it which will favour the purchaser. The price which the Carroll government wants for Melbourne Water is only $18b and Melbourne Water has an annual turn over of $ 2.1b in revenue, which is revenue for the government. Its market value could be a high as $16b so the Carroll government is going to have a fire sale and not receive the full amount that it should receive for taxpayers to assist in paying down debt. Melbourne Water is heavily protected by the Victorian Constitution against being privatised and the government will need 60% support in parliament to change that. There is one guarantee which will come out of this that as previously seen the price of water will increase for consumers including business. Water is essential in every day life and Melbourne Water should not be sold off. Russell Morse, Karingal

Spring! Freedom, the reality, beautified by (good times) memories; wives, partners, Buckley, Swanny. We welcome a form of calmness, stressless, and the millionaire Magpies go their own way, until next March, the underlying question “Will I be here?”... Our Liberal council, an extra parking spot left, as I exit my driveway, the bus stop on my right, the driver often taking a spell, my scooter time
It is interesting to note that during the recent Nepean by-election, One Nation won the Dromana booth. Although my friend’s recent experience may be a one-off event in a specific location, I began to reflect whether something has changed over the past few years on the Mornington Peninsula? A few years ago, I hosted an event at my home in Mt Martha – an annual workshop for about 15 people from Sierra Leone. This was around the time former federal Opposition leader Peter Dutton had suggested Victorians are “scared to go out to restaurants” because of “African gang violence”. Given the population of Mt Martha is predominantly Caucasian, I was slightly concerned when the group said they would like to visit the local shops. How would they be treated when they walked along the boardwalk? Would people stare at them at the shops? When they returned from their trip to Mt Martha Village they told me how welcomed they felt. Although the social and economic demographics of Mt Martha and Dromana are different, it is worth considering why, only a few years after the Sierra Leone workshop, an older Anglo man thought it was OK to speak aggressively to woman of African heritage who was having a quiet drink. Has the rising popularity of One Nation on the Mornington Peninsula, evident by the recent Nepean by-election where Darren Hercus received nearly 25 per cent of first preferences, given licence to some people to behave so offensively? After all, the leader of One Nation told Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan”. It is worth noting that the Federal Court ruled that Hanson’s tweet about Senator Mehreen Faruqi was seriously offensive, constituted a strong form of racism, and breached federal discrimination laws. We all need to show kindness to each other to halt this increasingly dangerous polarisation. We also need to stand up against racism – wherever and whenever it occurs. Social cohesion requires bystanders to speak up when they witness racist behaviour. As my Indigenous friends at Clothing the Gaps say: “There is no room for racism.” Dr Sarah Russell, Mt Martha to the RSL, praying, crossing the road hour?... Our housing crisis, the lady on TV, “I’m thinking of updating my current status.” Interesting, no mention of the status of her previous hacienda?...Inundated with kids at the roost; “Many men had/have been without question wise, had they not had an opinion that they had attained to perfection of knowledge already, before they had even gone halfway?”...

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Fire at Langwarrin destroys home Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE neat little home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Williams, of Langwarrin, was completely destroyed by fire last Monday. Many valuable tools were destroyed and Mrs. Williams’ artistic treasures and much valuable needlework, the work of a life-time, were consumed in the flames. We hear the house alone was insured. Much regret was expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Williams, who are very thrifty and industrious. Being without a home, Mr. L. Griffiths generously allowed them the use of his orchard cottage. *** “Ranelagh” Club Dance A charming and most friendly dance was held at the “Ranelagh” clubhouse, Frankston, on Saturday night, when the clear, bright, moonlight added very much to its success, though a very large number of the guests elected to spend the weekend at the club instead of facing the drive back to town. The house was most artistically decorated throughout, and blazing fire struck a cheery note. The large double room where the dancing was held was decorated with groups of arum lilies arranged in tall vases and bowls, with dark brown bracken leaves, brown grasses and reeds artistically grouped in bowls, making a marked and effective contrast. The first dance took the form of a chain, a novelty which effectually broke down any vestige of formality and established a friendly atmosphere,
for everyone joined laughingly. A cosy sitting-room was arranged for bridge players. There was an unusually large number of young folk present, and all seemed to have a thoroughly enjoyable time. *** Frankston Eliminated A brilliant third quarter by the Navy and Frankston’s poor kicking were features of the second semi-final played at Mornington last Saturday. The first half of the game was in favour of the Red and Blacks and better kicking in the first quarter may have put a different aspect on the result. Out of eleven shots in the opening term, Frankston got only one goal, while the Depot with three shots less, had a lead of 12 points. There was over 1000 people present at the match, the gate takings being £54, which constitutes a record on the Peninsula for a semi-final *** Personal Residents of Frankston and district will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Mark Brody, who left this town to reside in Launceston, Tasmania, about 12 months ago. Deceased, who was about 87 years of age, was remarkably active and he was conducting a land agency in Launceston at the time of his death. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Daley, of Bay street, will be sorry to hear that their son met with a cycling accident this week and sustained a broken arm. Cr. G. May was the victim of an accident this week. He sustained a painful injury to the knee which prevented his
attendance at today’s council meeting. Mr. Jack Sorrell, late headmaster of Baxter State school, has been transferred to the staff of the Frankston school. Mrs. Robert Renton, who recently arrived from the Malay States, is the guest of Mrs. Russell Grimwade at her country home, “Westerfield”, Frankston. The Lady.Mayoress-elect of Melbourne, Mrs. S. Morell, is well known on the Peninsula. She was a Miss Kirkpatrick from a Mornington hotel of the same name. Mr. J. Moseley, of Mt. Eliza, has been confined to his bed for the past week, and is now recuperating from an attack of bronchitis. Mr. G. Tyler; of Mt. Eliza, is at present very ill, suffering from an attack of influenza. Mr Tyler is the president of the Mt. Eliza Progress Association. *** Remarkable Walking Record Mr. Edward Storey, head cashier with a Newcastle, England, firm of solicitors, holds the proud record of having walked to and from his work for 52 years, during which he had covered over 120,000 miles. When he began work there were neither buses nor trams, so he walked the four miles to the office and the four miles back. *** Foreshore Committee Criticised – Mr McCombe Raises Protest To the Editor. Sir, May I, through the medium of your paper, invite the attention of citizens (ratepayers and residents) to
the despoliation to the south of Wells street, between the creek and the sea. The first efforts of the newlyappointed committee of management seems to tend towards the despoilation rather than to the beautification of this reserve, seeing that the spot chosen and the work now in progress for the laying down of a running track for which there is no public demand, necessitates the removal of trees it has taken half a century to raise and the destruction of rural and scenic beauty which nowhere else obtains along the whole foreshore from Rosebud to Mordialloc, and which untouched cannot be other than a source of quiet delight to a libertyloving public. Why there should be such undue taste in this matter does not appear. If a running track is imperatively needful on this reserve, why was it not laid down on the border of the creek south of Davey street, where there is a wide strip of level land which could have been utilised, obviating any levelling of sand dunes, wasteful expense and removing of trees standing for the protection of the town. Personally, sir, I protest against such methods of procedure without ideal general plan or vision of the future. The land belongs to the public, and before anything of a permanent character is undertaken a general beautification scheme should be devised, a plan thereof submitted to the public, and if adopted, worked-to accordingly as revenue serves. I understand the day men of the council are doing the work complained of, but surely their time could more
IN THE
profitably be employed on the roads or the removal from the creek of the silt and obstructions which are a menace to health, and far from being an attraction to visitors. I do not know whether it is in contemplation to have a bathing pool in the midst of this reserve, but certain it is that the excavation made by persons allowed to cart sand from the same would justify one in that presumption. However, this land belongs to the people, and if the present management cannot make it more attractive, the people should see that they do not transform it into a permanent eyesore. The removal of sand should be immediately stopped, and the unwise and ill-considered attempts at beautification be deferred until proper plans have been submitted to and endorsed by the public. In a matter so important to the future attractiveness of our town, why should the vagaries of two or three individuals prevail against the reasoned commonsense of the general public and thus create a condition of things which can only be altered by additional expenditure and involving the waste of time and money, as well as precluding the operations of a plan already in prospect. Citizens, wake up! Have a say in things which affect the future of your town, your businesses, your employment. Prevention is better than cure. Yours, etc., JOSEPH R. McCOMB. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 3 September 1926

Do bunions, swelling or aching joints make every step harder? Perhaps shoes pinch by lunchtime, orthotics will not fit, or bending to manage laces has become a struggle. The right footwear can help you stay comfortable, steady and active. Feet change as we age. They may widen or flatten, joints can stiffen and toes change shape. For people living with arthritis, diabetes-related sensitivity or balance concerns, ordinary shoes may not provide enough room, support or adjustability. That is why Bayside Shoes offers the Simply Comfort range of Podiatrist Recommended footwear. Designed to work with your feet rather than squeeze them, these styles combine generous widths, removable insoles for custom orthotics, supportive cushioning and slip-resistant soles. The result is comfort that helps take pressure off sensitive areas and gives you confidence underfoot. Simply Comfort Christine is a thoughtful choice for women with bunions, tender joints or feet that swell during the day. Its supple fullgrain leather and stretchable toe panel gently accommodate sensitive areas, while the velcro strap adjusts as feet change. A padded collar adds softness, and the supportive insole can be removed to make room for an orthotic. Christine comes in a wide fit, in half sizes from US 6 to 11, in Black, Navy, Taupe and Bordo. For men, Simply Comfort Commuter II provides stability and support in a leather lace-up. The inside zip makes it easier to put on and remove—particularly helpful for arthritic hands, a stiff back or reduced reach. Built-in
arch support, a lightweight midsole and a grippy natural rubber outsole help make walking feel more secure. The removable insole allows space for orthotics, while the generous 4E width gives feet room to settle. Sizes run from US 8 to 14 in Black and Brown. These styles may also suit approved footwear needs under Support at Home, previously Home Care Packages, or the NDIS. Eligibility and funding depend on your assessment, plan and provider approval, so please check before purchasing. Since 1987, Bayside Shoes has offered friendly fitting advice. Visit 103 Railway Parade, Seaford, with free and disability parking and wheelchair ramp access. They are open 10am–5pm Monday to Friday and 10am– 3.30pm Saturday.

BELL SHAKESPEARE BRINGS MACBETH TO FRANKSTON ONE of Shakespeare’s most gripping tragedies is set to captivate audiences at Frankston Arts Centre when Bell Shakespeare’s acclaimed production of Macbeth arrives for a one-night performance on Tuesday 27 October. Directed by Peter Evans and starring Anthony Taufa in the title role, this contemporary staging of Shakespeare’s timeless thriller explores the dangerous consequences of unchecked ambition and the devastating cost of the pursuit of power. The story follows Scottish general Macbeth, whose fate appears to change forever after a chance encounter with three mysterious Weird Sisters who predict he will one day become king. Consumed by the prophecy and urged on by Lady Macbeth, he embarks on a ruthless path that unravels his sanity and plunges those around him into chaos. Renowned for making Shakespeare accessible and engaging for modern audiences, Bell Shakespeare has built a national reputation for bringing fresh energy and insight to the Bard’s works. The production has already received strong praise, with the Sydney Morning Herald describing it as “utterly compelling” and the Australian Financial Review declaring that the production

Langwarrin comes unstuck, Stonecats’ season over MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV ONE SEN DROMANA managed to best Langwarrin in their clash in the first round of finals. The Tigers entered the game strongly, scoring 6.2 in the first quarter while the Kangaroos only managed to score 2.2, placing the Tigers in the
lead by 24 points. Dromana extended their lead in the second quarter after scoring a further 3.5 to Langwarrin’s 1.1, giving Dromana a 40-point lead in the half time break. The Kangaroos attempted to catch up to the Tigers in the third quarter, scoring 5.4 to the Tigers’ 1.4, and shortening the Tigers’ lead to 16 points.
In the final quarter, the Tigers managed to claw their way to victory after scoring five goals and holding the Kangaroos to two majors. When the final siren sounded Dromana, 15.16 (106), had the better of Langwarrin, 10.9 (69), by 37 points. Dromana will now come up against Rosebud next Saturday in a semi-final, while Langwarrin will play Mt Eliza after their win on Sunday in a very
close contest against Frankston YCW. In the first quarter, Mt Eliza took the lead after scoring 2.2 to Frankston YCW’s 1.4 and held a lead of just four points at the first break. The Stonecats stole the lead from the Redlegs in the second by scoring 3.2 to the Redlegs’ 1.3, leaving the Stonecats up by seven points at half time. Frankston YCW maintained their
lead in the third quarter with both teams scoring four majors each. In the final quarter, the Redlegs were able to sneak 3.1 while the Stonecats were only able to score 1.1. This resulted in Mt Eliza, 10.7 (67), beating Frankston YCW, 9.11 (65) by two points. The loss for the Stonecats spells the end of their 2026 campaign.

Chelsea into the ‘big dance’, while Somerville eliminated MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV TWO SEN CHELSEA claimed their grand final berth on Saturday with their win over Red Hill. The game started off with fairly even scores from both teams, with Red Hill taking the lead into the first break after scoring 3.3 to Chelsea’s 3.0. Chelsea claimed the lead in the second quarter by scoring 4.2 while Red Hill only managed to score 3.0, which left Chelsea ahead by five points going into the long break. In the third quarter, Chelsea managed to maintain their lead by scoring a further 5.1, while Red Hill was only able to score 3.6. In final quarter of the match, Chelsea scored 4.3 while Red Hill scored 2.0. The final resulted was Chelsea, 16.6 (102), beating Red Hill, 11.9 (75), by 27 points. All is not lost for Red Hill as they get another chance next week against Frankston Bombers after they dispatched Somerville on Sunday. Frankston Bombers went into the clash as underdogs, having finished fifth on the ladder in the regular season, compared to Somerville’s second spot. The Bombers immediately flew into the lead in the first quarter after scoring 6.3 to Somerville’s 2.3, placing the Bombers ahead by 24 points at the first break. Though the margin reduced in the second quarter, the Bombers were able to go into the long break ahead by 20 points after scoring 3.3 to Somerville’s 3.7. In the third, the Bombers scored a further 5.5 while Somerville struggled to score, only managing a single major.
The Bombers were able to secure their win in the final quarter after scoring five straight goals to Somerville’s 2.5, locking in an easy 60-point victory. The final scores were 19.11 (126) to 8.17 (65). Somerville are now out of the final series, after an impressive seasons that saw them end up second on the table with 14 wins and just four losses in the regular season.

The Scoreboard
D-day for Baxter, Rosebud SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER and Rosebud go head to head on Saturday in a local derby that seems certain to relegate the loser. With the bottom two sides in State 4 being relegated Rosebud and Baxter are just a point ahead of secondbottom Monash University. Monash has been resurgent in recent weeks having only lost twice in their last five matches with both losses coming against the league’s top two teams. And while Baxter and Rosebud go toe-to-toe on Saturday Monash is away to already relegated Greater Dandenong and goes into that clash an odds-on favourite. Ashburton is also in the relegation mix. It currently lies fifth bottom a point ahead of Rosebud and Baxter but with an inferior goal difference. Ashburton’s final game is away to top-six outfit East Kew but the host has nothing to play for other than pride. If Baxter and Rosebud draw this weekend and Ashburton loses it will finish below the two local sides and likely be relegated. Whatever the outcome the scene is set for a nail-biting season’s finale and there should be a bumper crowd at Baxter Park. Last weekend Baxter lost 1-0 away to championship-chasing Ringwood City while Rosebud lost 2-1 at home to East Kew. Baxter’s Cody Storton-French was sent off in the 85th minute while Ben Symonds was on target for Rosebud. Still in State 4 Chelsea turned in one of its poorest performances of the season and ended its hopes of promotion when drawing 2-2 at home to Greater Dandenong on Friday night. The visitors already had been relegated and will finish last after a dismal season that has gleaned just one win and now one draw. Chelsea assistant coach Chris Porteous was damning in his description of the display. “Unreal mate. I have no words. Two each with a pub team at best,” he said. Chelsea’s goals came from Daniel Vella after a neat cutback and Victor Cruz De Faria who hammered home a left-foot finish from a tight angle. In VPL1 Langwarrin finished its league season with a 1-1 draw with North Geelong at Lawton Park on Sunday. Langy failed to deal with a corner in the 71st minute and Kingsley Es-
hun’s close-range strike put the visitors ahead. Nine minutes later Sayed Fatemi equalised after North Geelong failed to clear from a free-kick. In State 1 Mornington’s momentum for a second-placed finish and a promotion play-off slowed considerably last weekend when beaten 3-2 by Hampton East Brighton at Civic Reserve. Mornington made the brighter start and took the lead in the 33rd minute when Lachlan Candy found the back of the net. However, Hampton East responded before the break with Marko Stanisavljevic levelling in the 41st minute. The visitors then took control early in the second half with Ahmed Habeeb putting Hampton East ahead in the 48th minute before Nicholas Walker extended the advantage just three minutes later. Mornington refused to give up and Candy grabbed his second of the afternoon in the 75th minute to reduce the deficit to 3-2. Despite late pressure, however, the home side could not find the equaliser. For Adam Jamieson’s men there is little time to dwell on the result as attention now turns to Tuesday’s catch-
up game and another huge test against the champion South Springvale. Skye United drew 0-0 away to St Kilda on Saturday and has been relegated. St Kilda set up to play for a point and ironically this was Skye’s first clean sheet of the season. In State 2 Peninsula Strikers’ clash with Mooroolbark at Centenary Park was abandoned a few minutes from half-time when Max Civil of Strikers suffered a badly broken leg. Civil was successfully operated on at Peninsula University Hospital on Sunday morning. In State 5 Seaford striker Dylan Waugh had a day out against Yarra Jets with a four-goal haul in his side’s 6-1 away win on Saturday. The Jets scored first when George Leigh was on target in the 28th minute but the lead only lasted for two minutes. The Jets failed to clear from a long throw-in and Waugh had a tap-in to equalise. Another two minutes elapsed before Seaford hit the front after Conor McFall’s quick free-kick found Jay LeBron and his cross was finished by Jay McCabe. Waugh made it 3-1 in the 40th minute when he headed home from a McFall corner.
Two minutes into the second half Waugh nailed his hat-trick when he finished a perfect diagonal from Alex Roberts by lobbing the Jets keeper. McFall beat two players on the right in the 51st minute then sent over a floated cross that Blake Hicks finished with a venomous volley and Waugh sealed the result in the 56th minute after a McFall corner. Somerville Eagles drew 2-2 away to Templestowe Wolves last weekend. Marcus Anastasiou scored both goals for the locals with his equaliser coming in the 89th minute. In State 6 Mount Eliza drew 0-0 away to Bunyip District last weekend and now must win on Saturday and rely on results going its way to either win promotion or win a promotion play-off spot. Frankston Pines had one of their best wins of the season when downing Pakenham United 2-1 at IYU Recreation Reserve on Friday night. Pakenham struck first after four minutes when Lado Suliman broke onto a ball over the top and finished in style striking the ball across Pines keeper Nic Ambor. Pines equalised on 15 minutes when Onur Göksu controlled Ambor’s goal kick then slotted the ball through for Kenny Akalan to drive the ball into
the bottom corner. Onus scored the winner in the 51st minute after driving into the final third before unleashing a superb shot into the back of the net. Mentone lost 3-0 at home to Brighton on Saturday. In State 7 Aspendale needs to win its final game of the season on Saturday to be promoted after last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home to Burwood City. Burwood went in front in the 28th minute through Anthony Tang’s free header at the back post. Two minutes later Oscar Carter scored in his fourth successive match when he headed home Tom Machin’s corner. Mount Martha drew 1-1 away to Glen Waverley last Saturday. The home team had the bulk of possession early but the visitors carved out the best two chances through Jude Hardy. Mount Martha paid for its inability to clear from a corner late in the half and went in 1-0 down at the interval. The Mariners’ persistence paid off 10 minutes from time when a long throw-in caused panic in Glen Waverley’s defence and Hardy pounced with a clinical finish. With two minutes left Hardy threaded a superb through ball to Will McFee whose low strike forced a superb save from the home team keeper and the points were shared.
