Supreme Court rules on childcare dispute Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au PLANS for a new childcare centre in Frankston South have stalled after a legal battle which ended up in the Victorian Supreme Court. The site at 253 Humphries Road is currently owned by Tueno Investments Pty Ltd, which also operates Beachwood Early Learning Centres at 53 The Fairway in Bonbeach and 105

Humphries Road in Frankston South. Last month, the Supreme Court ruled on an ongoing contract dispute between site vendor Tueno Investments and developer Saltworks Investments FS, which was planning to buy the land and lease it back to the original owner. Last year, Tueno Investments agreed to sell the land to the purchaser for $2.25 million with a deposit of $112,500 subject to multiple “special conditions”. Tuneo Investments was

required to obtain a planning permit for a 138-place childcare centre, and the parties were required to execute an Agreement for Lease and Lease for the Property within six weeks of issue of the planning approval. The initial 15-year lease would have started at annual payments of $4,650 per licenced place per annum. The Supreme Court found that the vendor had failed to obtain planning approval by a deadline of 30 September, 2025. Its finding noted that “the

vendor’s evidence addresses its contentions as to why that occurred and seeks the court to conclude that it is arguable that this was due to the conduct of the purchaser, or the architecture firm which shares a common director with the purchaser.” The parties did not subsequently enter into an AFL and lease, but on 27 January purchaser Saltworks Investments FS informed the vendor that “it elected not to rescind or terminate the contract by reason of the failure of the

special conditions, but affirmed the contract instead and elected to proceed to settlement in six months on 27 July, 2026.” Saltworks Investments FS was the plaintiff at the Supreme Court, seeking to force settlement of the land without executing the agreed lease. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled against the plaintiff and dismissed the case, leaving the future of the site in limbo. Continued page 7

More election candidates confirmed THE field of candidates for Frankston at the upcoming state election is growing. The seat is currently held by Labor’s Paul Edbrooke, who will stand again. The Liberals have preselected former nurse Bree Ambry to contest the election. Last week, Chrysten Abraham announced her intention to run as an independent. She said “people are searching for an alternative to the major parties, and many are aligning with One Nation as a result. But if voters have the choice of a strong Independent candidate, they have the opportunity to support a genuine alternative.” Abraham has previously stood as a Liberatarian candidate. She ran for Dunkley at the 2024 by-election, Flinders at the 2022 federal election, and Frankston at the 2022 state election. One Nation had not announced a Frankston candidate by publication deadline, however nominations will not close until 9 November. The election takes place on 28 November. The Greens have announced Katie Goulas as its Frankston candidate. Goulas’ profile on the Greens website reads “I’m a justice advocate, retail worker and Frankston local currently studying a Masters of Justice and Criminology. I love living near the beach and the variety of nature the area has. I care deeply about living sustainably and caring for the environment. “When I’m out in my community, I see the pressures facing individuals and families. When services like healthcare, education and affordable housing are limited, the repercussions are vast. An outcome I often see is involvement in the criminal justice system through my volunteer advocacy for children caught up in juvenile detention.” Andrew Cheeseman has been announced as the Victorian Socialists’ candidate for Frankston. Julie Harman is the Animal Justice Party’s candidate. Brodie Cowburn

THE former home of the Belvedere Community Centre, a council-owned building in Seaford, is going up for sale. Last week, Frankston councillors voted to sell off the 36 Belvedere Road site.

This means that for Frankston City Council to raise a similar amount in rates as other councils (for it to provide a similar level of local government services) it must use a rate in the dollar which is applied to the valuations.” The motion was scheduled to be put forward at council’s 4 April meeting, shortly after publication deadline. A proposal put forward by Cr Hughes in February last year to cut rates by one per cent was rejected with a 7-2 vote (“Rate cut promise not supported” The Times 24/2/21).

Courageous act earns bravery decoration Bird flu rises A MAN who intervened to protect his neighbour during a violent assault in Frankston in 2015 has been recognised with an Australian Bravery Decoration. Russell Harrison was commended for his brave conduct during an assault in Frankston on 11 December 2015, after hearing his female neighbour scream for help. At approximately 1 pm, Harrison was at home when he heard the woman calling for help. He crossed the street and saw a person running to the back of the home. Harrison jumped the fence and ran to the back of the house, where he witnessed the offender assaulting his neighbour in her laundry. He verbally confronted the offender, which allowed the woman to break free and escape. As the offender ran, Harrison instructed his neighbour to leave before pursuing him. He caught up with the offender as he attempted to open the locked front screen door. Harrison asked him to stop, and the offender turned and lunged at him, which prompted a struggle. Harrison held the offender in a chokehold until the police arrived. When police arrived at the scene, they noted the offender was not breathing, and Harrison immediately administered CPR until additional officers arrived and took over. The offender was pronounced dead at the scene. Harrison said at the time, he faced criticism online, including accusations he had murdered the offender. He said receiving the bravery decoration provides validation he did the right thing. “At the time that the situation happened, people were questioning, and online, they were saying, oh, I murdered him and stuff like that,” said Harrison. “And in actuality, I saved a woman’s life.” Harrison said he never meant to harm the offender and had only wanted to restrain him until police arrived.

“Even after everything I’ve been through, I’d still do it again,” said Harrison. He attributed his instinct to help his neighbour to a lifetime of community service. Harrison became a member of a fire department rescue squad at 16 years old before serving in the US military and then becoming a paramedic. “I’ve always basically been a protector,” said Harrison. Harrison has since moved from Frankston to Geelong, but said he still visits the area regularly. He said he is grateful for the recognition but doesn’t consider himself a hero. “I don’t see myself as a hero,” said Harrison. “I just see myself as doing what I thought everybody else did, which was helping someone who was in danger.” Harrison was among those recognised in the

latest Australian Bravery Decorations. On 1 September, Governor-General Sam Mostyn announced 30 bravery decorations, recognising 54 individuals who acted in dangerous circumstances to protect others. “On National Wattle Day, I am proud to announce and congratulate the most recent recipients of Australian Bravery Decorations,” said Mostyn. “The Australians honoured today remind us of the strength and depth of the human spirit.” Mostyn said she wanted to acknowledge acts of courage can leave physical and emotional impacts. “To all the brave Australians we honour today, thank you for your selfless and determined courage and care for others,” said Mostyn.

THE number of confirmed bird flu cases within the City of Frankston has grown to three, and on the Mornington Peninsula they have climbed to 24. The Frankston detections have been in greater crested terns and one silver gull. Cases have also been recorded in Blairgowrie, Dromana, Capel Sound, McCrae, Mt Eliza, Portsea, Pt Leo, Rosebud, Rye, Safety Beach, Sorrento, and St Andrews Beach. The species where bird flu has been detected widened last week. Previously all detections had been in either greater crested terns or silver gulls. Last week, there were single recorded events involving Australasian gannet, a black-faced cormorant and a little penguin at St Andrews Beach. There continue to be grave concerns for Western Port Bay’s wetlands that are a critical habitat for wildlife, and home to 65% of threatened bird species in Victoria. The reporting guidelines now ask for people to report clusters of five or more sick or dead wild birds of any species, but to report even a single sick or dead wild seabird, waterbird, shorebird, bird of prey or marine mammal (e.g. seal, dolphin). If you find a sick or dead bird that you suspect could have H5 bird flu remember to: • AVOID contact with sick or dead wildlife and their environment. Do not touch, move or approach the bird, and do not allow pets to touch or eat sick or dead wildlife. • RECORD what you see, the location the animal was found, and take photos or video (if possible) without approaching the bird. • REPORT any unusual illness or death in wild birds and other wildlife immediately via the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

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.

EMERGENCY services attend seperate fires at a Wells Street business on 3 September and 1 September (inset). Pictures: Gary Sissons

Convenience store ‘targeted’ twice POLICE are investigating the causes of two separate fires which broke out at a Frankston convenience store last week. The Wells Street shop was “the target of a suspicious fire” in the early hours of 1 September, a Victoria Police statement read. At around 1.30am on 3 September, emergency services

were called out to another fire at the shop. Victoria Police alleges that a car was driven into the business during the second incident, and the offenders fled on foot. The shop was alight when emergency services arrived, police say. Nobody was believed to be inside during the fire. Victoria Police has

confirmed it is now investigating both incidents. “A crime scene has been established, and the investigation is ongoing,” Victoria Police said. “Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.”

A SOMERVILLE man was one of five men arrested last month as part of a police operation targeting criminal behaviour in the construction industry. On 24 August Taskforce “Hawk” investigators raided houses in Somerville, Chirnside Park, Westbury, Gisborne, and Powelltown. They arrested five people, including a 37-year-old Somerville man. In a statement, Victoria Police said that “Operation Hawk was established in July 2024 to specifically target criminal behaviour linked to the construction industry and transitioned to Taskforce Hawk in June 2025. This was in response to a number of fresh allegations of serious and violent criminal behaviour.” “Taskforce Hawk is focused on assessing new intelligence and evidence relating to allegations of criminal behaviour linked to the construction industry. It also continues to proactively target organised crime associated with the sector, including a focus on any individuals employed within the construction industry who have known links to outlaw motorcycle gangs,” Victoria Police said. “Police are also instigating approaches with relevant industry stakeholders to gather intelligence, as well as working closely with a range of law enforcement partners, regulators and

government authorities. “Anyone with information about these matters is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.”

Young Street assault AN alleged assault at a Frankston 7/11 is being investigated by police. The alleged attack occurred at the Young Street store at around 11.15pm on 21 August. Police allege that the incident began with an argument between two men, and another man. Police allege that one of the two men pushed the victim to the ground, then punched him in the head. Police allege the attack knocked out the victim. The two men allegedly fled on foot towards Wells Street. Last week, police released an image of a man (below) they wish to speak to in relation to the alleged assault. Anyone who recognises the man can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report via www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Childcare plan future unclear Continued page 1 The childcare plans had drawn opposition from local residents. Early last year Frankston Council granted a conditional permit for the childcare centre, subject to the submission of further plans, despite nearly 200 objections (“Childcare plans proceed despite objections” The Times, 1/4/2026). The Supreme Court ruling noted that Frankston Council “issued a planning permit with endorsed plans for a childcare centre” on 18 June this year. The Supreme Court ruling read that “on 7 April 2026, the purchaser [Saltworks Investments FS] commenced this proceeding seeking a declaration that the purchaser is entitled to call for settlement of the contract on 27 July 2026, without being required to negotiate the terms of an AFL and Lease in accordance with SC 19.2(ii) of the contract.” Section 19.2(ii) of the contract stipulated that “the parties must negotiate amendments in good faith and expeditiously with a view to execution by the execution date.” The court also considered Section 18 of the contract, which stipulated that “the vendor must at its cost use best endeavours to obtain the planning permit within a reasonable time after the contract date and, in any event, by 30 September 2025, or such later date as the parties agree in writing”; and that “if the planning permit is not issued by the permit date, then the purchaser may rescind the contract on 14 days’ written notice. On rescission, the deposit must be refunded to the purchaser and neither party may make a further claim against the other.” In its judgement, the Supreme Court found that “the satisfaction of [special conditions] 18 and 19 are essential conditions precedent to the obligations on the parties to proceed to settlement. That is, the parties are excused from performing their obligation to settle the contract in the absence of SCs 18 and 19 being fulfilled. Given that SCs 18 and 19 benefit both the purchaser and the vendor, the purchaser does not have a right to waive these conditions and call for settlement.” DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.50mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $4.40mt

KINGSTON Council has issued a renewed call for changes around planned Suburban Rail Loop stations in the Cheltenham/Highett and Clayton precincts. Council issued a statement last week saying that an independent Standing Advisory Committee report on the plans, published earlier this year, “raised several concerns that closely reflect issues we have been advocating for.” “Despite these findings, the Victorian Government has now proceeded to approve the planning scheme amendment,” the council statement read. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley says that council will continue advocating for “getting the planning and infrastructure right as the area prepares for significant growth.” “We’ve been very clear from the start that we support the opportunities the Suburban Rail Loop can bring, but that growth needs to be properly planned for and supported,” Cr Oxley said. “It was encouraging to see the Standing Advisory Committee recognise many of the same concerns we have been raising, particularly around open space, community infrastructure, traffic modelling, sustainability and the need for greater certainty about how the precincts will actually be funded and delivered. “The committee was clear that important work shouldn’t simply be pushed into the future. We agree. Unfortunately, the government has now moved ahead with the planning scheme amendments despite those findings. That makes it even more important that the issues identified by the independent committee are properly addressed as the precinct planning continues. “Accountability must exist to ensure the clearly documented concerns of the expert independent SAC, who heard submissions across 16 weeks of hearings, will be addressed.” The Suburban Rail Loop Authority was contacted for comment. One of the key concerns outlined by Kingston Council is a lack of designated open space and community infrastructure. The Standing Advisory Committee report read that “the proponent’s approach to planning for open space and community infrastructure is to defer the detailed planning (including identifying the necessary land)

until after the draft amendments are implemented and the land is rezoned. The committee has fundamental concerns with this approach.” “If the land needed for critical open space and community infrastructure is not identified and set aside at the outset, acquiring appropriate sites will become more difficult and more expensive,” the report read. “Opportunities for appropriately located (or co-located) open space and community facilities may be lost, and surrounding development may proceed that permanently compromises the suitability of preferred sites (particularly for open space, which requires good solar access). A more detailed assessment of open space and community infrastructure requirements needs to be done to confirm the quantities, locations and types of open space and community infrastructure required to serve the needs of the future precinct communities. “To ensure the precinct visions can be achieved, further work is required in relation to open space planning, community infrastructure planning and pedestrian links before the draft amendments are implemented.” The SRL East structure plans were gazetted in July. Cr Oxley said “in areas of significant growth in established Melbourne we have learnt the hard way that retrofitting critical infrastructure after development is much more costly and very complex.” “We now need to see the recommendations and concerns raised by the independent expert committee properly reflected in what happens next, even though the planning scheme amendments have now been approved. That means securing new open space, properly planning for community infrastructure, understanding the needs of the future population and making sure transport and sustainability measures are delivered early, not as an afterthought,” Cr Oxley said. “Kingston will continue to advocate strongly for our community and work constructively with whoever is responsible for delivering the Suburban Rail Loop precincts. There is one opportunity to get this right and ensure the people who will live, work and spend time in these precincts in the future have the infrastructure and amenity they need.” To view the full Standing Advisory Committee report visit planningpanels.vic.gov.au/ panels-and-committees/projects/suburban-railloop-east-precincts-standing-advisory-committee

DEATH VALLEY

THE DROPOUT

ABC TV, 8.20pm

SBS2, 8.30pm

This witty take on the many-murders-in-aquaint-British-village genre stars Timothy Spall (pictured) as John Chapel, a retired actor best known for playing TV detective Inspector Charles Caesar. When one of his neighbours turns up dead, the reclusive star devises a theory that an ulterior motive is at play and gets roped into helping solve the real-life crime. Acting as his perky foil and dragging him into the case is detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth), who also happens to be Chapel’s biggest fan. An especially enjoyable entry into the cosy murder genre, this Welsh series bubbles along thanks to a bristling chemistry between its leads, even if the set ups do get a trifle silly at times.

Imagine being able to scan for hundreds of diseases using a single drop of blood, all in the comfort of your own home. Such was the allure of Theranos, the US company that set out to revolutionise medical diagnostics and the lives of billions of people. Based on the podcast of the same name, this eight-part limited series charts the meteoric rise and fall of Theranos and its enigmatic founder, Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried, pictured). To understand how it all went wrong, The Dropout takes us back to the beginning, when Holmes was an optimistic student who left Stanford University in 2004 to pursue her ‘great idea’. Despite a lack of proof, legions of investors bought into Holmes’ claims, charisma and ambition.

MEL GIEDROYC: UNFORGIVABLE

ON ENERGY BILLS

SBS2, 9.35pm

Audiences familiar with Mel Giedroyc’s (pictured) sunny and wholesome persona as the original co-host of The Great British Bake Off might be slightly shocked by the comedian’s edgier approach to this panel show. Inviting celebrities to confess their most unforgivable acts, shameful anecdotes and embarrassing moments, Giedroyc sits on a throne and assigns points as her utterly unpredictable sidekick Lou Sanders keeps score. Graham Norton gets the ball rolling in this premiere, revealing a lie to his mother that went too far, while Desiree Burch and Alex Brooker also share mortifying mishaps. It’s essentially just another chat show, but with a silly and saucy twist that makes it worthwhile. 1109

Green wedge protected The news that the green wedge of land between Mornington and Mt Martha is to be protected is indeed heartening (“Bipartisan commitment to protect green wedge” The News, 1/9/26). As Melbourne expands at a furious rate such green spaces are important to have to avoid the effects of a concrete jungle and the damaging effects on our local climate and provide a healthy environment for the people of the peninsula. That said though I have a nagging doubts when both sides of politics are in furious agreement, it all sounds just a bit too cosy. It will be interesting to see how this green wedge fares after the election. Ross Hudson, Mt Martha

on “the home help lady”. There is a trend to outsource such services to unfamiliar, impersonal, disparate and often privatised alternatives. We know the consequences. The latest in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s crosshairs appears to be the Meals on Wheels program. Is the shire trying to do itself - and the community well-being and belonging it once embodiedout of existence? And at a purely mercenary level- what will I be getting back for my years as a ratepayer when I do finally need services? Maureen Donelly, Mornington

Kangaroos before politics

Given that air pollution from coal, oil and gas is linked to millions of deaths worldwide each year, and that their emissions are driving increasingly costly climate impacts, comparing coal, oil and gas corporations with toilet-roll manufacturers seems misplaced (“Global warming” Letters, 1/9/26). Yes, coal and gas companies provide energy, but they also profit from products whose pollution harms both people and the planet. Unlike a toilet-roll manufacturer, they have the capacity to pivot towards providing cleaner alternatives such as renewable energy. Continuing to reap enormous profits while contributing to disasters such as floods, fires and glacier collapses makes multinational fossil fuel corporations reluctance to move towards cleaner energy difficult to defend. Isabelle Henry, Ascot Vale

It’s disappointing to read that Craig Thomson seems more interested in partisan politics than protecting the Green Wedge (“Liberal’s plan?” Letters, 1/9/26). The reason we’re even having this discussion is because I raised the alarm about very real development risks in parliament. I’ll speak up whenever the Mornington Peninsula’s green wedge is under threat. It’s no coincidence Labor rushed out just days later to say the green wedge was safe. Craig’s response? To criticise the person who raised the alarm. How bizarre. Labor’s over-taxing and underinvestment on the peninsula is a very different issue, but one I raise at every opportunity. Given Craig represents Save Kangaroos on Mornington Peninsula, I would have thought he’d put the kangaroos before the politics. Anthony Marsh MP, Member for Nepean

Meals On Wheels

Meals On Wheels volunteers, customers and other concerned residents from all over the peninsula met this week to start a campaign designed to get council to back-down from their heartless decision to cease delivery of Commonwealth funded Aged Care Services. These services include the much appreciated Dial-A-Bus and Outings & Excursions as well as Meals On Wheels. We were shocked when council decided this at a confidential meeting on 9 June after a secret briefing by council officers. A date of 30 June 2027 was set. One of the main excuses was that the Commonwealth government was changing the funding and administration model. However we have since found out there has been a back-down on 20 August and the Commonwealth Home Support Program is to continue. Several municipalities have now reversed their decisions to cease services. We want our council to do the same. Meals on Wheels has been delivered for over 50 years. As well as nutritious meals tailored to individuals, it provides a welfare check from neighbours who care. We would like to remind the council that our area has one of the largest populations of older people in Victoria. Many of these have paid rates for a very long time. They need these services to enable them to have a decent quality of life in their own homes. Surely one of the main duties of local government is to provide appropriate services to vulnerable people and not leave them to the vagaries of the private profit-making sector. Joan Doyle, Dromana

Services disappearing

I remember walking back from the Infant Welfare Centre, as I think it was called then, with mum pushing the latest baby in the pram and me marvelling at the little book with the baby’s name, height and weight details. We were important to someone! We belonged and someone was checking we were okay. Belonging and wellbeing is best dispensed locally. It’s about community and community needs to be around a hub. That’s why we have a local government. But as our local council rapidly dismantles their role in community service provision we lose this crucial component of the social fabric. I remember the youth club, grandparents getting meals delivered and my neighbour relying

Odd comparison

Fossil fuels being replaced

John Dusting is right. The world remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels (“Global warming” Letters, 1/9/26). That is regrettable because burning them causes roughly three-quarters of humancaused global warming. But he is wrong to suggest getting off fossil fuels is impossible. It is already happening. In the first half of 2025, renewables generated more global electricity than coal for the first time. The International Energy Agency estimated that global investment in clean energy in 2025 would be about twice investment in fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are reducing oil demand, while heat pumps are replacing gas heating. Similarly, while oil and gas are currently important chemical feedstocks, they are not the only source of carbon. Plant oils, sugars, agricultural waste, and recycled plastics are providing alternative feedstocks, with bio-based detergents, plastics, cosmetics, paints and lubricants already being developed and commercialised. The choice is not between modern civilisation and fossil fuels. It is between continuing to burn fossil carbon for energy and finding cleaner ways to power and manufacture the things we need. John Godfrey, Cape Paterson

Pauline Hanson

So Pauline Hanson is accusing Labor of stirring up hatred and violence against her. However let’s look at her record and ask if she has maybe contributed to an acceptance of hatred and violence in the community. There is her record of employing a convicted rapist, of utilising Avi Yemeny, as her key media support, a man convicted of assaulting his wife and of course the infamous interview with Tommy Robinson, a man who happily promotes violence and has been convicted of fraud and assaulting a police officer. Pauline has claimed that schoolchildren are being subjected to “dangerous ideology”, has targeted transgender and Muslims claiming they are taking over Australia, accused Labor of trashing “Western values” and accused workers of being lazy, saying it should be easier to sack them. Of course, Pauline should not be subjected to threats or require police security to protect her. In a democracy we should be free to express our views as long as they do not harm others and there is never an excuse for violence and threats. However, using the language of hate can create an atmosphere of tolerance of violence. The PM has constantly called for all MPs to tone the language down and move to a more civil discourse, however Ms Hanson appears deaf to those pleas. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Shop firebombed twice in three days It is clear that organised crime is targeting tobacco stores in Frankston as the latest firebombing in Wells Street shows. A convenience store was rammed by a car and then set alight completely destroying the shop but nobody was injured. This was the second time as in three days the store was targeted. Police and firemen attended the premises with a forensic person gathering evidence at the scene. The Coalition is now promising to cut cigarette excise by 80 per cent, if elected at the next election in two years time, to stop organised crime. It could help save premises from being firebombed if bollards were made compulsory in front of tobacco stores to protect the premises and staff. If the excise cut does have some effect on

The dog poo fairy

Along the McCrae foreshore, some dog walkers pick up their dog’s poo with a plastic bag. Well done. Thank you. But others pick it up then drop the plastic bag beside the path or nearby. What? Why? No-one magically comes along each night to pick up your litter. Warwick Spinaze, Rosebud

What about the loser?

Dear MP News. You gave frontpage coverage for the premiership win of the Under-14 girls of the Mornington Junior Football Club (“Girls grab win in historic first” The News, 1/9/26), but who were the no-doubt heartbroken last-minute losers? There was no mention of them! David Cramond, Mornington Editor’s note: Touché!Mornington under 14s beat the under 14 girls from Berwick Junior Football Club.

Channelling W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Let the conveners of the CFMEU Royal Commission come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message “The rorts are dead”, Tell the “stop and go sign” strippers to go back to their old jobs, Hand out the last paper bag full of cash, while the bikie standover man sobs. It was the Suburban Rail Link, the West Gate project and the Metro Tunnel, They looked like worksites, but were just a giant cash funnel, It was only fifteen billion, why was it so wrong? I thought Labor would keep this going forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out everyone; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For this Royal Commission can never come to any good. C Jenkins, Tyabb

the amount of illegal cigarettes being sold the crime organisations could continue to intimidate and cause firebombing of cigarette legal sellers of tobacco. American Tobacco has warned that they will pull out of Australia if the government does not cut the tobacco excise. The coalition as part of its policy to cut tobacco excise by 80% may also be looking after legal tobacco companies for valuable election funding donations. The government may, in putting up the excise of cigarettes, not only stop people from smoking but also may force legal tobacco companies out of Australia. More people are smoking because of organised crime cheap tobacco products such as cigarettes and vapes. Russell Morse, Karingal

BarleyCharlie@90

The older one gets the crankier? Points of view, aka variations, (seemingly) rewritten every decade. For a short spell in the early 1950’s happy with the £10 poms, but not the Greeks - the clincher around age 16; Lorraine, the secret love of my life’s new boyfriend was a new Australian - Italian! OMG, why? Last week’s letter from Dr Sarah Russell, highlighted, and well in excess of the allowed 300 words maximum, in fact a classic on local racism. Unconnected obviously but for me, a touch of the Karl Marx, in Russell’s favour. No fan of Alister Clarkson but harshly treated. A good coach is a good coach, age irrelevant, the necessary cattle significant. Artificial intelligence, less choice, bigger danger. Understanding is by and large a piece of cake, the bigger danger; application? The Asian Ladies, as in a special for ageing old men at $10 for fingernails, much appreciated, but they never speak to me, thus many imaginations why? Not even a smile? I leave the scooter outside, walking stick in? Maybe drive in; almost every passing stranger gives a smile, a hello, on my scooter? More seriously Zoe McKenzie, not known? Nonsense! Zoe is our MP for goodness sakes, well, truthfully Sorrento and Portsea, stretched to Blairgowrie? To fight organised crime and illegal tobacco. We wish Zoe every success, particularly if she shuts up the self-congratulating Rudd. Our mate Pauly (Keating) refuses to allow old age to handicap him - “Timidity (Richard Marles?) is like a virus in the bloodstream” referencing US troops deployment, nuclear-powered subs. Not forgetting the “full steam ahead” nonsense, AUKUS, from our Albo? Fronted by a friend last week, in his 50’s or thereabout, reads my stuff, asked “Who else reads it?” “Don’t know, don’t care,” I replied. “So why do you do it?” Good question. If he’s lucky, he might understand, in 30 years. Had the choice Friday evening, SBS News (Trump, Nepal, Vladimir Putin) or AFL, the threat of a Carlton victory, shudder. We thank the cats. Fremantle next week, a bridge too far. Either way, no Pies no stress. Stay nice. Cliff Ellen, Rye

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston High School foundation stone laid Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE foundation stone of Frankston’s £18,000 High school was laid this afternoon in the presence of a large gathering, including Sir Alexander Peacock (Minister of Education), Hon. A. Downward (Minister of Lands), officers of the Education Department, the Shire president (Cr. W. Hutchinson), and. councillors of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. The ceremony of laying the stone was performed by Hon. A. Downward, after which an adjournment was made to the Masonic Hall, where the visitors were entertained by members of the High School Welfare League. Dr. C. Maxwell, president of the High School Council, presided. *** Back to Frankston movement suggested At the annual meeting of the Frankston H. & A. Association held last Wednesday night, Messrs. C. Parnell and D. McFarlane, representing the Frankston Traders’ Association, put forward a suggestion that a “Back to Frankston” movement should be taken up. Mr. Parnell said that the Traders had not gone fully into the matter, but were desirous of ascertaining whether the show committee would support the idea. Mr. McFarlane said that a similar movement had been arranged in other towns and proved a great success. Cr. Montague said he had been in a town where a similar celebration had been in progress and was surprised to see the tram loads of visitors arriving daily. Mr. McFarlane produced a souve-

nir programme in connection with the “Back to Sale” movement held recently. Mr. Gamble was not opposed to the idea, but would like fuller details. Mr. Hanton, secretary, said that Cr. Pratt had spoken to him regarding the proposal, and had made it clear that there would be no responsibility on the show committee. Mr. G. Keast thought the idea a good one. Cr. Oates also supported, but thought they should have more definite information regarding the amount of work involved and the expense. Mr. W. C. Young, said such celebrations were designed to raise money. A “Back to Leongatha” movement was now being organised to raise money for their park. If Frankston organised for January next to include the show day, the takings at the gate would be materially increased. It was resolved on the motion of Cr. Montague, seconded by Mr. Jacobs, that two representatives from the show committee be appointed to discuss the project with the Traders’ Association. The president (Cr. Wells) and Mr. M. Jacobs were appointed to attend the next Traders’ meeting. The president, who expressed himself strongly in favor of the “Back to Frankston” movement thanked Messrs. Parnell and McFarlane for placing the matter clearly before the meeting. *** Naval Depot win final There were more shattered hopes after Saturday’s match at Frankston, when Somerville had to surrender to Naval Depot in the final.

Last year Somervillle met Mornington in the final, but were defeated. There is no need to say what happened to Mornington in the grand final. This year Somerville has shown good, and bad form, playing some really good games and occasionally some poor ones. When they met Mornington in the semi-final recently they were full of dash and swept Mornington off their feet at the start, eventually winning well. There was none of this sparkle about the team on Saturday on opening,for, they seemed slow to get going. Naval Depot was just the reverse, and beating their men repeatedly the Navy soon had the score going. It was a good performance to win the premiership in 1924-25-26 and all will join in congratulating the Depot on their fine achievement. They had three captains this year, First T. Deayton, then C. Price, and finally L. Lock, the two former had to retire temporarily owing to injuries, and each has done his share, also the whole team, who have played the game like men and looked for the ball only. Somerville team, having lost, might be said by some to have all played badly. They didn’t. *** CHELSEA COURT Wednesday, September 6. Before Cr. H. A. Hunter (chairman), Cr. J. A. Boyd and D. Bowman, J.’sP. SAFETY FIRST. In the case of J. M. Campbell v. Mrs. M. Graham in which rent for four weeks was claimed, some peculiar evidence was forthcoming.

Mr. Wadham appeared for defendant. The plaintiff stated in evidence that he was owner of property at Aspendale that was let to defendant on lease and payable weekly in advance at 30/ per week, and a claim was made for four weeks from July 25. Mr. Wadham objected to witness when he stated the place was let to undesirables at £2/10/- a week. Witness, proceeding, said these tenants had left and took the keys,which he had been unable to recover. Application had been made by his agent, Mr. Griffiths, to find defendant’s address, which owing to removal, he was unable to do. The consequence was he had to change the locks, of which keys were held that could be handed over if the defendant had come along. Mr. Wadham interjecting: “Is it not true you have had time to consider your legal position? Do you still recognise the defendant as your tenant? Witness: Well, I hardly know how I stand and have come along to the court to find out. Mr. Wadham pressed his question, thinking the evidence was completed. Witness: I have not yet finished my evidence. Mr. Wadham: I apologise. Witness then proceeded to state defendant had property to a certain value, but Mr. Wadham objected. On cross-examination, witness said he put the locks on after he took out the summons on the same day. He put the locks on as much as anything to safeguard defendant’s property. William Oswald Griffiths, estate agent, Aspendale, gave evidence of

receiving rent from tenants of Mrs. Graham and forwarding out of it the rent to Mr. Campbell. He had made efforts to find Mrs. Graham, who spoke to him over the telephone, but he had told her to call on him, which she had not done. Mr. Wadham said the rent would have been paid if his client could have had possession. It was all moonshine about the locks being placed on the premises to protect his client’s property. She had not heard of her tenants being turned out, and when she came down found the place barred and locked she had gone to Campbell’s place, but found him out. M. Graham, married woman, Malvern road, Malvern, defendant, said she took possession on March 29 and later sub-let under arrangements. She had recently removed from Northcote. She had no intimation of the place being empty till she received her summons. She went to Aspendale on August 26, with a friend, Mrs. Wilson, and her children, but found a new lock on the gate, and on the window. She came down since, and an both occasions Mr. Campbell was not at home. She notified Mr. Griffith of her removal. Mrs. Mary Wilson gave corroborative evidence of accompanying Mrs. Graham to put in the weekend, and had to return. They went to the agent’s, but he was not in. An order was made for £6 with 6/costs. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 10 September 1926

MONTY Python’s SPAMALOT will open at the historic Athenaeum Theatre this September. The Melbourne season will see this incredibly diverse and talented cast take to the stage, led by Australian screen and television icon Stephen Curry, who will make his musical theatre debut, stepping into the regal shoes of King Arthur. Sharing the spotlight with Stephen will be powerhouse vocalist Jaz Flowers, who makes her highly anticipated return to the stage after a decade, as the enchanting Lady of the Lake for the Melbourne season. Seasoned performer and Perth standout, Jamie Rolton will reprise the hilarious role of Patsy opposite Stephen Curry’s bumbling King Arthur. Joining them is a talented community of hilarious performers that includes rising stand-up comedian and Tik Tok sensation Nick White, tackling the formidable role of Man of Many Characters; NIDA Graduate and up and coming performer Gareth Isaac as Sir Robin; emerging star and WAAPA graduate Jesse Vasiliadas as Sir Lancelot; with Perth season alumni Noah Skape as Sir Galahad and Ethan Jones as Sir Bedevere respectively. Rounding out our talented ensemble is Grace Williams, Emily Huynh, Danielle Gibson, Jacinta Tsakalos, Will Basson, Jack Coyne, Dominique Hamilton and Ethan Churchill. Producer/Director Drew Anthony said, “Following our sold-out critically acclaimed Perth season it is my absolute pleasure to be bringing this gem-of-a-show to Melbourne. Not only is Spamalot a celebration of all things Monty Python it is also a wonderful love letter to the musical theatre genre. All of the characters and quotes from the source film will keep audiences laughing and wanting more.”

MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT features Eric Idle’s book and lyrics alongside a score by Idle and John Du Prez, offering a hilarious and irreverent parody of musical theatre filled with show-stopping vocals and tap-dancing knights.

Bradshaw gets his break to represent Australia Harrison Borthwick harrison@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON South resident Gary Bradshaw is preparing to take to the world stage later this year as he heads to England to represent Australia at the WPA blackball pool championships. The tournament, which will be played at Heathrow between the 20-28 October, will be the first time Bradshaw will be representing Australia.

Bradshaw was first introduced to the game while in primary school after his dad bought a table. He now plays four to five times a week at JD’s Pool Hall in Frankston, where he has been a member for thirty years. “To make an Australian side is something I never thought I would do. It’s pretty incredible,” said Bradshaw. Bradshaw qualified for the WPA championships at a tournament in Rockingham in Queensland earlier this year which had over four-hun-

dred participants. He was initially in the area for work but along with a mate decided to enter the competition. His team lost in the preliminary final of the tournament, but it was enough for Bradshaw to qualify. In the meantime, Bradshaw will be working on his craft to take on the world’s best come October. “We will do as much practice as we can. It’s just a matter of making sure, like anything, that you’re in top order when you actually go over there and play that level because if you’re not

you will get found out really quickly playing against the best from all around the world,” said Bradshaw. “I know what to expect. I’ve watched a lot of the top-level English-based pool, and those guys are amazing to watch and we’re coming up against some of those guys, so it’s going to be a tough week but it’s going to be an awesome experience travelling overseas with Australia on my back. It’s a massive opportunity.” While representing Australia, Bradshaw is hoping to shake the reputation of pool being exclusively a game for

bikies and thugs, and rather a game for everyone to enjoy. “We’ve had many people come through our club at JD’s (pool hall) and have had people just enjoy the game. It’s a very addictive and fun game. Long-gone are the days of smoked filled bars full of drunks, it’s now a game for everyone.” “There’s now venues right around Victoria and Australia hosting tournaments, over both summer and winter, or you could just hire a table with some mates and enjoy the game for what it is.”

FV deals Strikers bitter blow SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers and Football Victoria are at loggerheads over the decision to play a catch-up game against Mooroolbark at Jack Thomas Reserve in Berwick on Tuesday night. Strikers’ recent match with the Barkers at Centenary Park had to be abandoned after Max Civil of Strikers suffered a badly broken leg late in the first half with the visitors leading 1-0. The loser of Tuesday’s clash will be relegated from State 2 South-East. A draw will be enough to keep Strikers from the drop but it goes into this season-defining battle without Matt Harrington and without both goalkeepers so as we went to press the local club was scrambling to sign another keeper on an emergency transfer. Strikers expected to retain home ground advantage for the catch-up fixture and Mooroolbark had agreed to play at Centenary Park this Saturday. Then came FV’s bombshell decision. Strikers will make a last-ditch appeal to FV to try and change the fixture but FV has a record of intransigence in such matters. The local club was left seething at its treatment last week when the catch-up decision was made. “They cannot give me a reason why they made this decision,” president Adrian Scialpi said. “We’ve been trying all week and no-one will talk to us or consider what we have to say in fact we’ve been treated with utter disrespect.” FV has effectively forced Strikers to play two away games against Mooroolbark this season. No-one can find anything in the 2026 rules of competition that supports the federation’s decision indeed there is no rhyme or reason for it. Strikers have recently been dragged slowly but surely into a relegation battle and last weekend’s 1-0 away loss to Knox City combined with Mooroolbark’s 2-0 home win over already-relegated North Caulfield set up Tuesday’s do-or-die fixture. In State 1 Mornington fans can be excused for believing that their club is cursed and destined to never reach the elite club level of the sport in Victoria. Not for the first time the Seagulls have stumbled in the home straight. They gave up a two-goal lead away to league champion South Springvale last Tuesday and had to settle for a 2-2 draw then lost Saturday’s away clash 2-1 to Doveton. A draw with the Doves would have clinched second spot and a promotion play-off against State 1 North-West’s Upfield. On Tuesday night Mornington took the lead in the 11th minute when James Kelly hit the target with a nice strike from the edge of the area. The Seagulls made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute with a Nathan Sim header from a corner. But injury forced Sim off three minutes later and momentum began to swing late in the half. South Springvale found a way back into the contest in the 79th minute when a deflection fell into the path of Aaron Dunbar and a few minutes later Thomas Simos completed the comeback. Against Doveton the Seagulls started brightly but couldn’t capitalise and the Doves went ahead from the penalty spot after Luke Goulding had brought down his opponent inside the area. Damir Soilovic converted from the spot. Mornington switched to a 3-4-3 in the second-half and began finding more space but Doveton keeper Thomas Hull produced several important saves. Doveton doubled its advantage in the 81st minute when former Mornington player Halil Reki skipped past Seagulls’ keeper Kane Runge and finished calmly. Imagine what the Mornington bench thought as Reki celebrated in front of them. A thunderstorm then forced both teams from the field for around 10 minutes and when play resumed Mornington pushed forward relentlessly. A deep ball from Ryan Paczkowski found Kelly who got in front of his opponent and was

brought down inside the box. Referee Perry Mur point to the spot and Kelly converted and although Mornington threw everything at Doveton in the closing stages it was to no avail. It was a painful end to a campaign in which Mornington needed just three points from its final three matches to secure a promotion playoff. So where to now for the Seagulls? With a newly laid home pitch awaiting them attention now turns to gaffer Adam Jamieson and his squad. Who stays, who goes and whether Mornington can finally make the next step remains to be seen. Skye United signed off on a dismal season when going down 5-1 at home to Banyule City last weekend. Shameit Sharma scored for the locals who only won twice this year and finished on the bottom of the table. In State 4 Baxter was relegated after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Rosebud. In a game largely controlled by Rosebud with Baxter offering little going forward the visitors had the two better chances of the first half both falling to Mark O’Connor. In the 52nd minute against the run of play Baxter striker Jai Power was taken down inside the box and he had no trouble converting from the spot. Rosebud rung the changes with a triple sub and that worked with Connor Wharton finishing superbly on his left foot past Colby Jones in the 62nd minute. Baxter huffed and puffed but with very little threat going forward and its cause wasn’t helped when Power was substituted in the 80th minute with the home side needing a goal to save its season. Chelsea signed off on a season of disappointment when going down 4-0 away to Riversdale on Saturday. The club touted by many as a genuine title contender finished fourth following a stuttering second half of the season where it suffered the ignominy of a 2-2 draw at home to cellar dweller Greater Dandenong clearly the worst team in the league. In State 5 both Somerville Eagles and Seaford United finished the season in style last weekend. Two Tom Simmons goals gave Somerville a 2-1 home win over Yarra Jets while a Dylan Waugh hat-trick underpinned Seaford’s 5-1 hammering of Fortuna 60 at North Seaford Reserve. Jay McCabe opened Seaford’s account in the 29th minute when running onto a long ball and finishing from a one-on-one with Fortuna keeper Brodie Inglis. Three minutes later it was 2-1 when Waugh smashed the ball in from close range following a Conor McFall corner.

Waugh grabbed his second and gave Seaford a 3-0 half-time lead when a superb diagonal from Matt Cobb found Blake Hicks at the far post who headed back across goal for Waugh to finish. Fortuna’s sole reply came in the 51st minute through Dylan Cassar-Cummings but Waugh completed his hat-trick when played in by McFall and producing a right-foot strike to make it 4-1. The home side wrapped up a successful day with a superb Matt Davis finish from the edge of the box in the 87th minute. Waugh scored seven goals in the last two games of the season to nab the league’s Golden Boot award a goal clear of Peter Kartsaklis of Monash Villareal and three goals clear of Somerville’s Tom Simmons. In State 6 Mount Eliza blew its hopes of a fourth-placed finish and a promotion play-off with Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Old Melburnians. The match seemed destined to be scoreless until Sam Dowling put the visitors ahead in the 91st minute but a minute later Noah Green equalised. Mount Eliza finished fifth equal on points with fourth-placed Old St Kevins with the same goal difference but with one less win. Frankston Pines and Old St Kevins drew 3-3 at Monterey Reserve last weekend. After a goalless first half the deadlock was broken in the 48th minute when Said Uygur clipped a ball into the right channel for top scorer Kenny Akalan to take a touch then finish into the bottom corner. That duo combined five minutes later with Akalan poking home his second. St Kevins pulled one back in the 64th min-

ute when Josh McMonagle-Ihasz was given too much time on the edge of the box and rifled home a great strike into the top corner. Young Tom Oswell made it 3-1 in the 67th minute when his tenacity caught the last defender in possession then he calmly lifted the ball over advancing St Kevins keeper Dale George for a superb finish. The visitors came hard at Pines in the closing stages. Adam McKeon made it 3-2 from the penalty spot in the 78th minute then in the last minute of normal time Pines didn’t react quickly enough to a free-kick that hit the defensive wall before coming back into the area where substitute Anthony Mallon poked home the equaliser. Mentone lost 6-0 on Saturday away to Casey Panthers to bring the final curtain down on a season where it failed to win or draw ending on zero points with a minus 71 goal difference. In State 7 Aspendale was in a celebratory mood after drawing 1-1 away to Boronia last weekend. The result along with Keysborough District’s 1-0 home loss to Glen Waverley clinched third spot and promotion for Jason Grieve’s men. Last year Aspendale dropped down two leagues due to a major overhaul of the State Leagues’ set-up so there’s no better way to react than to bounce back at the first opportunity. Aspendale had to come from behind to clinch an away point against Boronia. In the 35th minute Mitch Hodder’s misplaced pass was picked up by Dylan Phoeung who finished with a fine strike past Aspendale keeper Josh Mravljak. Two minutes into the second half Tom Machin’s corner caused panic in the Boronia defence and Oscar Carter pounced to equalise. Mount Martha showed great determination to come from behind with 10 men and draw 1-1 at home to Endeavour Hills on Saturday. The visitors led in the 18th minute after veteran striker Matty Durand hit a trademark leftfoot free-kick from the edge of the area. In the 70th minute Mount Martha’s Adam Steele was sent off after being shown a second yellow card but that didn’t shake the home side’s resolve. In the 83rd minute left back Wil Holman found space inside the box and slammed his half-volley into the top corner to level. It was no more than the home side deserved. Mount Martha has over 30 junior boys’ teams with two strong under-17 sides and a strong under-18 outfit. The club is looking forward to seeing some of these boys transitioning into the senior program next season.
