Eight candidates in by-election Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EIGHT candidates have put their hands up to run in the upcoming Dunkley by-election. Women’s Spirit Project founder Jodie Belyea will contest the seat for Labor. Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy will seek to win it for the Liberals. Alex Breskin is the Greens’ candidate. The Greens returned a strong first preference vote of more than 10

percent at the 2022 federal election, and their preferences may prove influential this time. Chrysten Abraham is running for the Libertarian Party, Heath McKenzie for the Australian Democrats, Bronwyn Currie for the Animal Justice Party, and Reem Yunis for the Victorian Socialists. After failed tilts for both Dunkley and the state seat of Frankston in 2022, conspiracy theorist Darren Bergwerf has chosen to run again as an independent. The ballot paper positions were drawn in Carrum Downs last Friday.

Conroy got the luck of the draw - his name will appear at the top of the ballot while Belyea will be at the bottom. Early voting starts on 19 February, and postal vote applications close on 28 February. The by-election will take place on Saturday, 2 March. Dunkley has been held by the Labor Party since 2019, but was a Liberal seat for more than 20 years before that. Peta Murphy won the seat for Labor in 2019, defeating first-term Liberal MP Chris Crewther. Liberal Bruce Billson was the member for

Dunkley for 20 years before Crewther. Murphy comfortably retained the seat at the 2022 federal election - the Liberals ran barrister and former Survivor contestant Sharn Coombes. Murphy died of metastatic breast cancer in December 2023, which triggered the by-election. The election date was locked in after the Christmas break. National attention is focused on the outcome of the by-election. The Albanese government won the Aston by-election in 2023, but has since

been hurt by the defeat of the Voice referendum. The by-election will also serve as a test of Labor’s proposed changes to stage three tax cuts. Despite a 6.3 percent margin in Labor’s favour, campaigners from both parties believe the seat is winnable. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton have both visited the electorate on multiple occasions to spruik their candidates and policies since the start of the year.

Solutions sought for methadone patients

GRAFFITI on a Peninsula Link overpass. Picture: Gary Sissons

Rage at road vandalism VANDALISM along the Peninsula Link Freeway is getting out of control, Frankston councillors say. At their most recent public meeting councillors agreed to write to Southern Way, which built the road, expressing concern about graffiti and other mess. Councillor David Asker said the graffiti “is just atrocious, and I for one am not going to put up with it any longer.” He singled out the train crossing as an area of particular concern. Peninsula Link is operated and maintained by Service Stream on behalf of Southern Way - it is under a 25-year agreement to look after the road. A statement from Service Stream read “littering and graffiti are ongoing issues along Peninsula Link, affecting both the highway itself and the broader community. Peninsula Link have a

number of contractual obligations which we continue to meet. These include the prompt removal of offensive graffiti and we aim to remove all other graffiti within a week. With regard to litter, Peninsula Link carry out a weekly program of litter removal and a monthly program of road sweeping activities along the length of the freeway. “Additionally, a team of asset inspectors conduct daily inspections of the network to ensure Peninsula Link fulfills its obligations to the state and to detect any other issues requiring rectification. Please note the Stony Point Rail Bridge is not maintained by Peninsula Link,” the statement read. Councillor Glenn Aitken also voiced worry at the state of the road. “This is the gateway and the face of our city

- because so many people come to Frankston or depart from Frankston along these very trafficways that in many ways are just infernal garbage dumps,” he said. The motion approved by councillors read that they would write to Southern Way Pty Ltd “expressing concern with the state of a number of sites along the Peninsula Link arterial where vandalism, wear-and-tear, and graffiti have become pronounced (i.e. Cranbourne Road turn-off and the nearby pedestrian bridge) to both road users and people utilising neighbouring walking paths”. The letter will request that “Southern Way Holdings Pty Ltd improve the condition of locations where the above impediments are in existence in a timely and meaningful manner”. Brodie Cowburn

THE state government says it is working to provide free pharmacotherapy training for GPs so that more people can access the prescriptions they need. The planned closure of the private Frankston Healthcare Medical Centre has left hundreds of pharmacotherapy patients in limbo. The centre’s director says that it treats between 400 and 500 patients a week on methadone, sublocade, and suboxone. (“Drug treatment access a big problem” The Times 2/10/2023) Private medical practices are overwhelmingly carrying the load of pharmacotherapy services in Victoria. A Monash University report released last February found that 50 of Victoria’s 14,804 pharmacotherapy patients were in the public system. In question time last week, Libertarian Party MP David Limbrick asked the state government what it was doing to support patients affected by the planned closure. Mental health minister Ingrid Stitt said that more funding had been offered to the centre and that more GPs would be trained to treat pharmacotherapy patients. “The funding of GP pharmacotherapy treatments is the responsibility of the Commonwealth. However, the Victorian government have wanted to ensure that there are no gaps in the services that are provided to a significant number of patients in the Frankston area through this particular

GP closing, so we have been working closely with the Commonwealth and also with the south-eastern metropolitan primary health network and our own health services in that part of the city. Pleasingly, the Commonwealth government has provided the clinic with additional funding so it can remain open for an additional four weeks while we work together with the Commonwealth on a more enduring solution in Frankston,” Stitt said “We know that there is a prescriber shortage nationwide. That is why, in addition to the work that we are doing to find ongoing solutions in Frankston, we are working alongside the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and the Department of Health to offer free pharmacotherapy training for GPs so that we can build the number of GPs available across the state that are able to prescribe. “The issue does remain that many Commonwealth-funded GP clinics choose, sadly, not to provide this kind of specialist addiction service. So in addition to the Commonwealth efforts, we are also providing funding for surge capacity in Victoria to deal with situations that we have, such as the one in Frankston right now. We also have a broader $10 million investment to expand our pharmacotherapy services and address that service gap.” Brodie Cowburn

$600 million shortfall for rail line THE federal opposition’s promised $900 million for the extension of the Frankston line to Baxter could be used to complete the project in stages, Liberal Dunkley candidate Nathan Conroy says. A business case completed before the COVID-19 pandemic found that it would cost up to $1.5 billion to electrify and duplicate the Stony Point line from Frankston to Baxter. With no work undertaken in the four years since the business case was finished, it will likely cost a lot more. Last month the federal opposition promised to spend $900 million on the project if it forms government next year. The promise is the centerpiece of the Liberals’ Dunkley by-election campaign. Three-term Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy is seeking to win Dunkley for the Liberals. He said that the $900 million could be used to complete the project in stages “for sure”. “We will work with the state government, we can do another business case, and we can make sure that we speak to

people to see what stages come up,” he said “I know that Frankston East and Langwarrin Station, Langwarrin particularly, is very much needed to ease that congestion in the Frankston city by building car parking out there. When we get in and talk to the state government, we’ll come up with the best solution going forward. “We need to be ahead of infrastructure, not behind. I think a $900 million dollar commitment goes a long way to delivering that project and it’s needed. We need to connect Langwarrin.” The previous Coalition federal government committed $225 million toward the project. That funding was withdrawn by the Albanese government after an infrastructure review conducted last year. The project’s downfall has been a lack of interest from the state government. It has not contributed funding for the proposal, and it cannot proceed without its approval. A state election is not expected until 2026. Conroy said that he discussed the pro-

ject “a couple of years ago” with the state government in his capacity as Frankston mayor, and that council supports extension beyond Frankston in its integrated transport strategy. “[The state government] is spending billions - close to $200 billion - on the suburban rail loop. That’s their decision, but we are also saying don’t forget about us and about prioritising this electorate and Flinders as well,” Conroy told The Times. At the time of the project’s axing last November, federal infrastructure minister Catherine King said the government had made “necessary decisions to no longer provide funding at this time to some projects. This includes projects that were not realistically going to be delivered with the funding available, have made little to no progress over a significant amount of time, and projects that do not align with Commonwealth or state and territory priorities” (“Frankston line extension derailed” The Times 20/11/2023).

Dunkley candidates kick off campaign Continued from page 1 Labor candidate Jodie Belyea is the founder of the Women’s Spirit Project support group, and has also recently worked with MEGT. In the past she has worked in youth services, and has helped run programs for people living with disabilities. She has also run programs for Indigenous Australians. During her first press conference, Belyea said she was supported by the late Peta Murphy and would “lean into her legacy”. “You are going to see me campaigning on the cost of living, health and Medicare and affordable housing,” she said. “I am not a career politician. I am not interested in playing politics. What I am interested in is creating a community that works together through working with governments at all levels, with local businesses and community organisations, bringing the voice of the people from the ground to parliament in Canberra.” Nathan Conroy has been Frankston’s mayor since 2021. The 31-year-old immigrated to Australia from Ireland aged 19. He says he worked his way up from washing dishes to managing businesses prior to his election to council in 2020. Conroy said that the long-term future of the area encouraged him to put his hand up. “What I want to do is give people a sense of hope, a sense of a vision of what our community is going to look like in five to ten years time. I’m not into this divisive politics pitting people against each other - Labor, Liberal, or anything else. I

just want to be a representative for my community, work extremely hard, listen to people from grassroots upwards and represent them in Canberra. “I have a proven track record over the last three or four years that I’ve listened, I’ve turned up, I’ve done everything I can, and I will continue over the next three weeks to listen to people. “We want to invest in the infrastructure that’s needed. We need to plan for the growth that’s coming and we need to make sure that things like health, education, child care, interest rates, and inflation are all under control.” The Liberals have spent the last two weeks making big funding promises. It said it will spend $900 million extending the Frankston line to Baxter if it wins government. It has also promised $2 million towards upgrade works at Monterey Reserve. On his last visit to Frankston Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that the federal government would spend $1.5 million on the collection of cancer stage and recurrence data.

Big award for art book A BOOK on the history of art in Frankston has won a major award. On Bunurong Country: Art and Design in Frankston was edited by University of Melbourne art historian Dr Jane Eckett and McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne. Last week it was awarded the “collaborative community history award” at the Victorian Community History Awards. The award judges wrote that the book had “thrown light on the cultural and social history of greater Frankston, an area that has not been generally known for fine art and design. It is a very rich collaborative effort, with valuable contributions by a range of recognized experts in art and design and significant attention to First Na-

tions Peoples history and culture. The book is a refreshing take on local history, viewed through the prism of art, and is beautifully presented. This excellent work has the potential to transform people’s perception about cultural heritage of greater Frankston and inspire young people living in the region.” Essays in the book were authored by Andrew Gaynor, Philip Goad, Dr Bronwyn Hughes, Simon Lawrie, Dr Sheridan Palmer, Simon Reeves with Dr Jeffrey Turnbull, Linda Short, Dr Benjamin Thomas, and Dr David Tutchener. The book was commissioned by McClelland Gallery. It can be purchased at its store or online at mcclelland.org.au/pages/on-bunurong-country-art-and-design-in-frankston

THE Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula’s first beach day of the year saw 156 surfers and more than 300 volunteers at Pt Leo on 20 January. Since 2012, DSAMP has been fulfilling its mission to put “smiles on dials” by offering safe, accessible and fun surfing experiences to surfers of all disabilities. Established by Gary Blaschke in 1986, the Disabled Surfers Association of Australia now has more than 19 chapters in Australia and one in New Zealand. “In the 12 years since we started, we have watched our events continue to grow,” DSAMP president Pea Saunders said. “There’s a fantastic vibe for the surfers, carers and volunteers, combined with a high degree of professionalism and commitment from all involved, that make our events something that we all look forward to.” Volunteers and surfers often attend both events held by the DSAMP each year. “This was our second year, and I can see it being a regular event for our family,” said Rebecca Eakins who attended the January event with her

sons, Jaxson and Jayden. “It’s such a heartwarming day, and I often wonder if the surfers or volunteers are having more fun. We try to give our boys every opportunity, and they love being on the water, but surfing is not one we could have given them without the support of DSAMP.” Leanne Vogt came for the first time with her son Michael who “went from being super anxious and not sure if he wanted to participate” to wanting to know when he could do it again. “He wants his own board and to learn,” she said. DSAMP is run by volunteers and supported by community groups, including Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club, the Point Leo foreshore management committee and Tyabb Somerville Rotary Club. Volunteers do not require any experience or to be surfers. The next event will be on 16 March. Follow DSAMP on Facebook or Instagram to stay up to date.

Assault charges for police officer A POLICE officer has been charged over two alleged sexual assaults in Seaford. The southern region senior constable, a 54-year-old man, allegedly committed the two sexual assaults between November 2021 and September 2022. The alleged incidents occurred off-duty, a Victoria Police media release read. The man was charged with two counts of sexual assault, and will face court.

Police car rammed

More police wanted FRANKSTON Police Station will host a recruitment information session on 7 March. Victoria Police is on a statewide recruitment drive. It is planning to recruit 800 new police officers. Victoria Police recruitment division acting superintendent Charmaine Hosking said “policing is a challenging, rewarding and purposeful career and we encourage anyone interested in making a difference within the community to apply now. “There are so many different roles that you can literally have what

feels like multiple careers within the one organisation. You’ll start off on the van, then you might move to a specialist area, then you may become a detective or work on multi agency rescue efforts,” Hosking said. “We’re looking for hundreds of police so if you’ve ever thought about joining now is the time.” The Frankston information session takes place at 6pm on 7 March at the Frankston Police Station.

A MAN has been charged for allegedly ramming a police car after a burglary. Police allege that just after 1am on 2 February, cars were stolen from a property on Gould Street in Frankston and a police car was rammed on Seaford Road. The police officers did not sustain serious injuries. On the morning of 3 February, a 43-year-old Dromana man was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicle, and intentional exposure to police officer to risk by driving. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 5 February. Anyone who witnessed the incidents can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au to assist police.

THE aftermath of fires in Chelsea. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Fires investigated POLICE are investigating suspicious fires lit around Chelsea this month. The first fire was started at the St Chads Bonbeach Baseball Club in the early hours of 1 February. The fire damaged the decking and was started with an accelerant, police believe. Later that night, a fire was lit at the playground at Bicentennial Park. The slide was badly damaged. Fire Rescue Victoria confirmed that it responded to two separate incidents overnight on 2 February. At 1.20am they were called to Thames Promenade in Chelsea Heights, where they put out two fires. At 1.27am firefighters responded to an incident at Beazley Reserve in Chelsea Heights - a fire which started in a public toilet and extended to a playground was extinguished. FRV then handed both scenes to Victoria Police.

Overnight between 5 and 6 February, fires popped up at bins, a golf shop, and a playground at Edithvale. Police are looking into those fires too. A CFA statement read that “three CFA units responded to a structure fire at Fraser Avenue in Edithvale at around 3:18am on 6 February. Units responded from Casey and Edithvale. Crews responded to reports of a golf shop on fire. “Fire investigators will attend the scene today [7 February]. FRV, Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria were also called to the scene. The incident was declared safe at 4:05am,” the CFA said. Anyone with information about the fires can assist police with their investigation by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submitting a confidential online report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

ABOUT 200 people attended a community meeting to hear more about the Save our Briars opposition to the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Experience event. Picture: Yanni

Sanctuary may be forbidden for Harry Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is today expected to back down on its insistence that the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event could not be moved from The Briars wildlife sanctuary. The move follows last Thursday’s announcement that Warner Bros and Fever were “re-evaluating the current location” of the event at the shire-owned Mount Martha property. Two days before Peter van Roden, senior vice president, Global Themed Entertainment Warner Bros. Discovery contacted the Save Briars Sanctuary group, the shire was continuing to defend the choice of the wildlife sanctuary for the nightly sound and light spectacular. Shire CEO John Baker gave assurances at Tuesday night’s public council meeting that the “Harry Potter areas” in the sanctuary “will be managed by trained security staff who will be able to ensure people

stay in the designated areas, which are already used by the community”. “The experience will occupy only seven per cent of the 90-hectare sanctuary, leaving space for animals to move away,” Baker said in response to more than 50 letters questioning the choice of a wildlife sanctuary for the months’ long nightly Potter performances. Questions raised in the letters included concerns for the welfare of wildlife living in the sanctuary; secrecy surrounding the contract for the Harry Potter show; how individual councillors voted on the decision; and lack of community consultation. Any debate by councillors and reports by officers about the Potter show have been kept secret since first being raised in August last year. Councillors - except David Gill agreed to sign non-disclosure agreements, ensuring that there would be no public announcement about the use of The Briars sanctuary for the

Harry Potter show until a marketing plan was in place and tickets were ready to be sold. Once that date was reached, the shire’s website promoted the show, and provided online links to ticket sellers along with details about paying for parking. However, once the secret was out protesters quickly organised an online petition (more than 20,000 signatures), displayed placards condemning the show in The Briars wildlife sanctuary, called a public meeting and attended last week’s council meeting, again carrying placards calling for the show be held elsewhere. The disclosure has also ensured that the Harry Potter saga will continue for councillors seeking re-election at the council elections in October. While the presence of the demonstrators at Tuesday’s council meeting did not see any councillors make any surprise moves, Warners Bros acted in less than 48 hours.

The best council could offer at its meeting was that it was looking into the legal aspects before seeing how much information it could release about the decision it made in August 2023. “We are currently working on some elements of the contract that potentially could be released, but obviously subject to some very detailed legal review,” Baker said. “This is referring to the council report and the minutes [of the August 2023 meeting] and obviously want to make absolutely sure that none of that refers to any confidential issues.” At 2pm on Thursday, Baker was quoted on the shire’s Facebook page: “Together with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Mornington Peninsula Shire is re-evaluating the current location of the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience at The Briars in Mount Martha. We will have more information soon.” The next move was to call a

special council meeting for today, Tuesday 13 February, although the shire has yet to publish an agenda. Louise Page, of Save Briars Sanctuary, said the group was “somewhat cautious … [but] extend heartfelt thanks to the decision makers for recognising the error in choice of location and taking steps to identify an alternative”. “This is not only a win for the sanctuary and its precious wildlife, for the community and for the environment, but also for local businesses and The Briars because now we really do have a quadruple bottom line decision; we are not sacrificing the environment for economic gain.” The mayor Cr Simon Brooks was almost shouted down when he told the public meeting at Mornington Yacht Club on Monday 29 January that councillors had not seen the fine details of the contract with Warner Bros and could not reveal what they did know because of the confidentiality agreement signed by most councillors.

A gloriously beautiful and grand 300-year-old mansion is the beguiling supporting character to the much-loved Detective Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) in the first of four postcard-worthy yet crime-riddled episodes that make up this veteran drama’s 24th season. In “The Devil’s Work” tonight, an unlikeable artist and his planned upheaval of his family’s magnificent historical estate sees more than just bad blood.

FRIDAY

CAROL

ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

In this complex human story about unspoken desire and social expectations, based on an ahead-of-its time lesbian novel by Patricia Highsmith, two women from very different backgrounds are drawn together in a tale of unlikely romance. It’s the 1950s and Rooney Mara is Therese, a salesperson working in a department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett, pictured), a glamorous, older woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. They explore their deep connection, and bravely follow their hearts, but come up against much controversy due to the attitude of the time.

GHOST MAX MAX CUSHION. MAX PROTECTION

After a splendid 11 seasons under its somewhat sweaty belt, this easy-on-theeye British whodunnit comedy returns with its 12th season. Ralf Little (pictured), the fourth star to take on the role of lead detective as Neville Parker, faces more than the traditional episodic crime to solve in this fresh batch of eight episodes; heartache and betrayal cast a shadow over the fictional sun-soaked Caribbean island of Saint Marie. This time, characters face challenges of more than the murderous norm. Tonight, it all begins when a celebrity astronomer is mysteriously felled during a once-in-alifetime planetary alignment. There’s also romance in the air for Neville. Ralf Little returns as Neville Parker in Death In Paradise

FRANKSTON HIGH SCHOOL IS TURNING 100

Optima Semper - Best Always

The above photo was taken on the first day of 2024, with VCE students, Year 7 students and the majority of staff. The picture was taken via drone, by a Year 11 Student Blake Alford Ryan (with support from a staff member).

The hard-fought battle for a high school in Frankston FRANKSTON High School turns 100 on February 12 2024! We take our large local schools for granted nowadays but they haven't always been here. While primary schools were established fairly quickly, (incidentally Frankston Primary School aka Davey Street turns 150 this year) the push to establish schooling for older students took some time. This was largely due to the prevalent opinion that most young people would be better off working

and it was seen as the employer's responsibility to teach them the necessary skills for their particular job. There was also a bit of a bias against children from working class backgrounds....what did they need an education beyond Grade 6 for? But Frankston mothers refused to accept this. They began to lobby the Education Department to insist that a secondary school be built in the area. A referendum was held by the Shire of Frankston & Hastings (combined population in 1921 of 3843!) and a

majority of 560 voted to hand land in Cranbourne Rd over to the Education Department. The new Minister of Public Instruction, Sir Alexander Peacock, was 'ambushed' on his way back from holidaying in Portsea to hear the latest about Frankston's efforts to build a secondary school. But the fight was worth it. Frankston High School opened at The Masonic Hall in Young Street on February 12, 1924, with a total enrollment of 64 pupils. But conditions

were Spartan. There were no desks, no blackboards, no inkwells and the children had to sit on rough benches till the furniture arrived. There were three forms, with two classes being taught in the one room, separated by a material divider. Mr Chapman was the Headmaster. He was an ex-officer from WW1 and evidently was very 'military' in his bearing. The hall was tin on the outside, painted cream, with just dirt surrounding the building.

Frankston High School is turning 100 years!

By the end of 1924 80 pupils attended FHS and additional premises were rented. The Rechabite Hall in Thompson Street was used for typing classes. Bond's Market, on the corner of Wells and Thompson Streets, was a classroom four days a week and a fruit and vegetable market on Friday! (Source: "Optima Semper Frankston High School 1924-94" by Mary A Evans, Heather Murray, & Jenny Evans. 1995)

We have some exciting activities planned including our official opening of our new building, our book launch of “100 Years, a 100 Voices: FHS Centenary Book,” former staff luncheon, various alumni events, alumni as guest speakers to our students, tours through our museum and student led activities, with our BestFest festival at the end of the year. We look forward to celebrating with our current and former students and staff, as well as with the wider community.

DURING the 1970's the school ran a weekly dance called Epicurus which was unique in that it was organised by students. It ran successfully for quite a few years till the advent of disco spelt its demise. The amazing thing is that groups like ACDC performed there! The story evidently goes that the organising committee was fearful that the night that ACDC played would be crashed by the local sharpies, but one of the leaders of the "gang" convinced everyone to behave and the night proceeded smoothly. They had over 600 young kids attend, and the band was paid the outrageous price of $250!

A BOOK celebrating 100 Past students of Frankston High to be launched at the school on Thursday March 21. Ex-student and past staff member Sue Robinson has written a book showcasing 100 past pupils of Frankston High as part of the Centenary celebrations of the school. The book celebrates some well known exstudents such as: Sir John Holland: founder of Holland Construction. Dr Ruth Bishop: joint discoverer of the Rota virus. Mal Walden: well known Melbourne TV journalist. Bill Pratt: founder of Pratt's Stores that were among the first modern supermarkets in the Frankston area. Paul A Bottomley: joint inventor of the MRI machine. Campbell Bolwell: founder of the iconic Bolwell sportscar. Stephanie Alexander: famous restauranter and cooking writer, The book also documents the changing face of Frankston High, from a small cohort of children schooled in a rudimentary hall to the huge establishment that it is today. The book will be available for purchase later in March from the school.

Renewed calls for jet ski restrictions Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au JET ski rider behaviour is again being spotlighted after a frightening incident at McCrae beach where a swimmer alleges he was almost hit by a vessel close to shore. Police are investigating the incident in which a Rye man, 69, was swimming with his wife and brother-inlaw when the incident happened just after 4.30pm on Saturday, 3 February. “I was only 10 metres from shore and I could suddenly hear a loud engine and feel the swish of the water pass my head, only to look up out of the water and see a fast jet ski pass two metres from my head,” the man told the News “This guy was just offshore and could have easily hit me or other water users … he didn’t seem to be aware or care that there were people in the water. “I was furious at his irresponsible behaviour, it seems to be the nature of the type of people who ride jet skis.” But after he voiced his concerns to a group the rider was with, the man said he was appalled by the response. “I was pretty much told by one of them to mind my own business,” he said. “I’m pretty sure almost being hit by a jet ski is my business.” The man then left the water and flagged down some police that were patrolling nearby, pointing out the rider and vessel owner who were among a large group of about 20 men

Picture: Yanni with two jet skis. “This behaviour has reached a point where something must be done before someone is killed,” he said. “Some of these riders are not getting the message about safe riding and what they can and can’t do.” Police spoke to the men at the time, and the man said he also reported the incident at Rosebud police station the following day. “I have statements from at least five people who were at the beach and all appalled by the group’s behaviour, they had ruined the beach for everyone there that day,” he said.

He is calling for more swimmeronly beaches and tougher restrictions for watercraft users, like that at Anthony’s Nose at Dromana, where watercraft can only be ridden 100 metres either side of the boat ramp. “These jet skis are lethal weapons.” Police have been told the jet ski rider stopped to assist after the incident before leaving the area. Investigations remain ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the incident or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333

000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Last summer there were also calls for better regulation of watercraft vessels, after swimmers and boat passengers were terrorised by jet ski riders. In one incident at Safety Beach, a 16-year-old who had only just obtained his marine licence intimidated boat passengers by repeatedly driving dangerously close to the boat and spraying those on board with water before speeding off. On Christmas Day a jet skier with a male passenger terrorised a family

on a boat 100 metres from shore, charging the vessel and creating such a violent wake that it smashed the boat’s window and knocked passengers to the floor. Ryse Community Alliance chair Mechelle Cheers at the time said it had been lobbying the government for years for jet skis to be treated differently to boats. Personal water craft (PWCs) are subject to hoon legislation, which means owners and operators can be prosecuted for operating an unsafe vessel, or dangerously, and PWCs can be seized.

Shire keeping off the grass Couch grass growing uncontrollably along the Esplanade walk at Mornington where the paid parking trial is underway is almost as tall as a fence. This is just one of many uncontrollable weed patches along this walk. Ratepayers were promised that the paid parking trial was for the upkeep of our foreshore. Really? It certainly proves true that the proof is in the pudding. Mornington Peninsula Shire has made a lot of money from the trial which none of us asked for. The shire is certainly not maintaining anything. The obvious question remains: What exactly is this shire spending this revenue money and rates on? It is now evident that the shire has its own agenda and makes deals behind closed doors and certainly is not there to represent the best interests of constituents, the wildlife, the upkeep of our foreshore and all Victorians. Let’s remember, all Victorians should be able to enjoy our beaches when on Crown Land. Victorian’s and locals alike should be not charged a cent on things that none of us are any wiser for the money spent nor asked for. If this shire concentrated on roads, rates and rubbish, as it should, this would not be so contentious. Sadly, all trust, confidence and integrity has gone. Felicity Benson , Mornington

‘Democracy in action’ I did not sign the non-disclosure document and was then asked to leave the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council room and did not vote for the Harry Potter event. A decision that is even rightfully unpopular is not a reason to lose our democratic rights. It also does not mean that the council is dysfunctional. We vote for our council representatives and will have another opportunity soon this October. The lesson from this is to ensure transparency. I have moved a number of motions to for greater transparency that have been defeated (Transparency backed, but ‘secret’ talks stay, The News 28/11/23). We vote for representatives and trust that they will make good decisions. There will always be different opinions on the results. An administrator is, in effect, a dictator, usually put in to balance the books but not put forward community positions or advocate on ratepayers’ behalf. We have a solid, balanced budget. We have fair debates with opportunities to put community views, there is room for improvement, and we make mistakes, but that is democracy in action. David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire

Credit where due Liberal candidate for Dunkley, Nathan Conroy has been caught out taking credit for work done by the late MP, Peta Murphy, and for projects started before he was even mayor of Frankston. Take for instance the fanciful claim that his leadership delivered the Jubilee Park stadium redevelopment. A redevelopment that was fully funded by three levels of government in 2018. The late Peta Murphy MP announced this funding before Conroy was on council. On 27 October 2021. The claim of delivering Langwarrin Football Netball Club is also highly controversial. Frankston City Council’s own media release, New pavilion gets the green light as Lloyd Parks Jewel in the crown, was published on 8 July 2021. Then mayor, Kris Bolam, said: ‘I’m pleased to give the news that this exceptional development will go ahead.” Cr Suzette Taylor thanked the federal Labor government for the funding. The late Peta Murphy MP was quoted as saying ‘“I’m very proud to support this terrific project that will also benefit the broader Langwarrin community”. It took real leadership by many people to deliver these marathon projects. I believe taking credit for the leadership provided by sporting clubs, former councillors and the late Peta Murphy MP is simply reprehensible. For the first time ever, ratepayers in

Frankston have no mayor, no deputy mayor, despite paying higher rates than people living in Toorak. Council rates have gone up by the maximum amount for three years in a row and all locals have to show for it is a council in crisis. Paul Edbrooke, MP for Frankston

Building too high I have lived in Frankston for 25 years and am appalled by the proposal to undermine the most beautiful natural assets of the bay by building a wall of up to 16 storey dwellings close to the foreshore. [Frankston mayor and the Liberal Party’s Dunkley candidate] Nathan Conroy reiterates he supports those struggling with the cost of living. However, these million dollar apartments which he supports wholeheartedly are not affordable for strugglers, so I am doubtful he really cares about the community Avril Bradley, Frankston

Sadistic amusement It is outrageous that the Victorian government has refused to ban duck hunting despite clear recommendations by its own parliamentary inquiry, which received a record 10,500 submissions. Native ducks are struggling to survive, with climate change, catastrophic fires and drought affecting their habitats. Surveys have shown that the wetlands are in long-term decline. Yet every year, hundreds of thousands of birds are blasted out of the sky. For each bird killed, another is wounded and will die slowly and in agony. Baby ducklings are left to starve. Let’s not pretend this is sport or done for food – it is sheer sadistic amusement. It’s time for duck shooting to be banned in Victoria outright. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator, PETA Australia

Candidate questioned I write to express my deep concerns about questionable statements being quoted by Nathan Conroy during his current quest to be elected to represent the seat of Dunkley. Nathan Conroy has said he is the first mayor of Frankston to have been elected for three consecutive years. Records show that Cathy Wilson was elected mayor for three consecutive years in the early 2000s. This can be verified on her LinkedIn profile. Nathan Conroy is claiming he is responsible for the building of the three room kinder at the Langwarrin Community Centre. The facts here are, he was chased away from commandeering the much loved Long Street Reserve Langwarrin last year after a gruelling eight-month fight with angry local residents who saved Long Street Reserve. During a recent interview on Irish radio Nathan Conroy claimed that due to his Irish accent “he can get things out of people that noone else can”. It’s just amazing he says. Kerry Gardeniers, Langwarrin

Proof is needed What information does Mornington Peninsula Shire or Warner Brothers have to say the Harry Potter event at The Briars will boost local business and, to use their words, “because people will stay a few days”? As a local resident, ratepayer and business owner, I am very interested to know. The Harry Potter event will be held at night when most shops are shut, and large part of the audience will be young kids on a school night. When people on the peninsula go to see an evening show in Melbourne, we mostly drive back home afterwards. Isn’t it likely that visitors to an evening event at The Briars will do the same in reverse and drive home to Melbourne and beyond for work commitments and to get the kids in bed ready for the next day? What facts and figures does the shire or Warner Brothers have to make this claim that the Harry Potter event will boost local business? Or is it just spin? An attempt to put lipstick on a pig of a decision that should not have been made in the first place. Monique Toms, Rye

Date to remember

Climate ‘normal’

The date, 26 January, has caused a lot of damage to Australia’s reputation both here and abroad. However, it is worth noting that this date holds historical significance as it marks the day in 1949 when Australia gained independence from British rule through the Nationality of Citizenship Act of 1948. This act granted freedom and protection to the First Nations People, who previously had no security or safeguard, and all Australians, old and new, the right to live under the protection of the “Australian Law”, united as one nation. Unfortunately, this important aspect of Australia’s history has been overlooked. While choosing an alternative date is possible, it is unlikely to appease everyone as there will always be individuals who disagree with the decision, regardless of the chosen date. Anne Kruger, Rye

Peninsula Voice convener Peter Orton wants us to do more to address climate change (Facing up to climate change, The News, 6/2/24). He claims temperatures in Victoria have risen 1.2 degrees since 1910. Is that all? A few decades ago, climate change alarmists were talking about maybe 10 degrees hotter. The planet has warmed, it is claimed, 1.48 degrees since 1850. Bushfires,, floods, droughts, heatwaves come and go. Always have, always will. Work with them. Don’t hold your breath in the expectation of being able to change the climate of a planet; exhale and let that carbon dioxide out. Logic and science compel me to ask the question: Is the world temperature of 1850 held as the “normal” and fixed temperature of this planet? Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Rudeness unacceptable I believe that regardless of one’s political affiliation, it is unacceptable to be treated rudely at a public event (No welcome for MP, Letters 6/2/24). Such behaviour goes against the true Aussie spirit of who we are as a nation. I am disappointed that such incidents as that during the recent flag raising ceremony in Mount Eliza take away from the essence of the event and hope that this will not happen again in the future. Anne Kruger, Rye

Climate strategies It was heartening to read that the community group Peninsula Voice is providing a forum for residents to discuss and combat climate change (Facing up to climate change, The News 6/2/24). The Climate Change Empowerment Handbook of the Australian Psychological Society lists eight strategies making the acronym ACTIVATE. The third strategy is “Talk about climate change and break the collective silence”, while the fourth strategy is “Inspire positive visions”. It’s clear from Peter Orton’s report that the forum to be held on Thursday 29 February at the Peninsula Community Theatre includes both these key strategies. The group’s events page at peninsulavoice.org.au/our-events is well worth a visit. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Rubbish idea A little idea - change recycling wheelie bins to transparent. That way, neighbours and passersby can see what rubbish many people put into that bin. Will that make an improvement? Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

Bench marks Isn’t it marvellous what a spell on the opposition benches does to ones view of the world. (Liberals add reserve to by-election issues, The News 6/2/24). The Coalition spent most of the near decade it had in office staunchly defending the fossil fuel industry and doing as little as possible on climate change as it felt it could get away with. In opposition, we have [Liberal leader] Peter Dutton suddenly finding a soft spot for whales that might run into an offshore wind turbine and now [Mornington MP] Chris Crewther has found an interest in retaining a reserve near the old reservoir in Kunyung Road, Mount Eliza. If they had shown this interest while in government they might still be there. Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Electric Light Failure – Its Cause Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Saturday evening last a number of the public were somewhat inconvenienced by the failure of the electric light. Our representative therefore at once proceeded to make inquiries as to the cause thereof. The facts were as follows: On Saturday afternoon Mr. Findlay, of Melbourne Road, Frankston, had engaged some men to take down some large pine trees, about 5.45pm. One of these fouled the high and low tension wires, breaking both, as a result of which the whole of the services became disorganised. Mr. Quartermain, the Council’s manager, was at once apprised of the fact, and with commendable promptitude gathered his staff and commenced operations. So well and quickly was this accomplished that by 8.40pm the whole of the services were restored. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the manager and his staff for their prompt action, only for which, being Saturday night, more serious consequences might have resulted. The public are advised that when dealing with any matter that may affect the wires, they should always notify the Council’s officers, so that the necessary steps can be taken to prevent an accident. *** DESTRUCTION OF VERMIN On and after Wednesday, Feb. 20, the destruction of all vermin must be commenced, and carried out effectively. This is important to land-owners,

who are liable to a penalty if they fail to comply with the conditions of the Act. *** THE Frankston District High School commenced operations yesterday, there being about 70 pupils present. A number of visitors were also present, including Mr. C. Long, M.A., of the Education Department, Mr. Jennings, Mesdames Roberson, Coxall, Amor, James, Evans, and Young (Somerville), Messrs. W. C. Young, L. Ward, J. McComb, and Cr. Gray. Mr. Chapman, the head teacher, in his opening remarks, welcomed the visitors and scholars. He pointed out that this was only an informal opening, as they have not been able to get the furniture and other school requirements in, but he hoped in about a week’s time to have a proper ceremony. Mr. Long then addressed the children, and in a very fine discourse showed the children the advantages they had today, as compared with the boys and girls of his day, tracing the various stages by which this had been brought about. He urged them to endeavour to do their utmost to show their appreciation of the efforts of those who were responsible – by their consistent efforts – for the establishment of the High School in Frankston. Miss Broughton, B.A., Dip. Ed., who followed, made a few appropriate remarks, and thanked those present for the warmness of their welcome. Cr. Gray followed in one of his characteristic speeches, in which he urged the scholars to endeavour by

13 February 2024

their attention to their teachers to strive to reach the highest possible goal. He also called upon the children to give three cheers for the success of the school. These were heartily given. Mr. Jennings said he was pleased to be with them, and would do all in his power to push other scholars on, so that the numbers attending the High School would be augmented. Mr. J. McComb also spoke. He told them of his early days at school, and pointed out the contrast today. The ceremony concluded with three hearty cheers for the visitors, which were given by the scholars, at the request of Mr. Chapman. *** THE many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Watkins, Presbyterian Minister of Frankston, and his good wife, will be pleased to know that they are at present enjoying a well earned holiday at “Bethany House,” Myers Falls, Healesville, where they will be staying for the next two weeks. We trust they will have fine weather, and an enjoyable time, and will thus be able to return to their noble task refreshed both in mind and body. We know that the worthy gentleman and his good lady carry the best wishes of all who know them, in this district. *** THE many friends of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Scarborough, of Lyndhurst, and formerly of Frankston, will be pleased to hear that their daughter, Mrs. P. Cook, who is at present an inmate of a private hospital at Kerang, is now making good progress towards recovery after a

very severe illness. We wish lier a speedy and complete recovery. *** MRS. H. C. Heymanson is at present staying at Frankston. House. Mrs. Heymanson is well known to many of the residents here, being a frequent visitor. She also took a very active part here during the war, and after, in helping the Wattle Club in entertaining the returned wounded soldiers. *** WE regret to learn that Mr. J. Lyle, of the Wells Street stores, is on the sick list. He was unable to attend business today, but hopes to be able to leave his room tomorrow. *** MRS. Price, of Frankston, who has been under treatment at Miss Creswick’s private hospital, is now stated to be progressing favourably. *** MISS Dorothy Watkins, daughter of Mr. W. E. Watkins, of Frankston, passed the examinations at the Presbyterian Ladies’ College with first class honors.

About 500 members and friends attended, and were accompanied by the St. Kilda City Band, which discoursed sweet music the whole day through. A programme of sports was run, and numerous games were indulged in, after which numbers of the picnickers proceeded to the beach and took advantage of the fine weather for a good time on the sands. *** HIGH SCHOOL MOTTO To the Editor. Sir, As “The Standard” has done so much in assisting to establish the High School, I would crave space to offer a suggestion that I think will meet with the approval of its supporters. My suggestion is that “The Standard” offer a prize, to be competed for by the residents of Frankston, for the most suitable “motto” for the High School. Yours, etc., PATER. [We welcome the suggestion, and will consult with the Head Master. Ed. “The Standard.”] *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 13 & 15 Feb 1924

BALNARRING and Rye will face off in the MPCA Womens Grand Final this weekend. Balnarring hosted Tooradin in the semi-final on Sunday. Balnarring batted first and put a huge total on the scoreboard. An unbeaten century from Jemma Reynolds helped Balnarring reach a final total of 3/207. Tooradin batted well but couldn’t maintain the run rate needed to win. They finished up at 5/132 after their 30 overs. Rye and Somerville went down to the wire on Sunday in the other semifinal. Rye batted first last weekend. They set Somerville a target of 106 to score to win. Somerville kept touch with their opponents, but time began to work

against them. They pushed hard but ended up falling four runs short - after 30 overs Somerville scored 5/102. Ella Hilton’s bowling figures of 3/15 proved crucial for her side. Balnarring and Rye will play in the season decider on 18 February.

LACHIE Weber competed in the Snapper Point Regatta held over two days last weekend. Nineteen-year-old old Lachie sails an ILCA 7, the Olympic Men’s class known previously as the Laser full rig, out of Mornington Yacht Club. In late October he competed in his first Worlds, the ILCA 7 Under 21 in Morocco where he came 29th out of over 120, so in the top quarter of the world. The summer has seen more success by achieving 1st Victorian under 21 at the State titles. A couple of months later, he was 1st Australian U21 at Nationals, knowing he’d won 3 days beforehand, as the only Australian U21, and only Victorian to make gold fleet. In late January the ILCA 7 Open Worlds were held in Adelaide, where Lachie was the only Victorian, and one of only 2 Australian U21s to make silver fleet in a field stacked with international sailors trying to qualify for the Olympics this year. Currently Lachie is working and looking for sponsorship to fund a trip to Europe to gain more experience in the competitive European ILCA circuit.

Skelly’s Langy off to a flyer SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie IF JAMIE Skelly thought about his debut as an NPL senior coach he’s unlikely to have imagined a more positive scenario. It’s the second minute of the season opener and Skelly’s newlook Langwarrin is facing NPL heavyweight Bentleigh Greens at Lawton Park. Luke Goulding sends a long ball forward and quicksilver Tom Youngs reads the defender’s intended header back to Greens keeper Andrew Withers. Youngs nips in and wins the ball and Withers flattens him. Referee Jackson Landy points to the spot, Youngs converts and it’s a dream start for Skelly’s men. Five minutes later any remaining naysayers among the large crowd are silenced. Young midfielder Jacob Brito is bodychecked wide on the right. He takes the resultant free-kick and swings the ball into the area where big Lucas Portelli heads it in. It’s 2-0 to Langy and the Greens are reeling. The visitors never recovered. Unable to put Langy keeper James Burgess under significant pressure and unable to break down a home team defence superbly marshalled by experienced recruit Luke Adams the Greens started this one as favourite but went back to Kingston Heath Soccer Complex a well-beaten side. Langy full-backs Luke Goulding and Japanese recruit Ryo Takahashi had fine games but the standout was the central defensive pairing of Adams and Portelli. And the use of four at the back was a significant departure from the five in defence so often seen at home games last season. Skelly showed confidence in his players and a boldness in his selection of two 20-year-olds in midfield – Brito and Sri Lankan international Barath Suresh – to accompany captain and defensive midfielder Rogan McGeorge. It’s been some time since Langy had such an experienced bench featuring as it did James Kelly, Callum Goulding and Charlie Fry. And Skelly’s counterpart, Greens boss David Chick, was the first to blink bringing on former Langy favourite Kieran Dover at half-time. Eventually Chick would make five substitutions to no effect, get yellow carded along with his goalkeeping coach and watch with dismay as his

The eyes have it: Bentleigh Greens face up to Langwarrin’s aerial threat at Lawton Park on Saturday evening, from left, James Doyle (Bentleigh), Lars Anton Kanninder (Bentleigh), Lucas Portelli (Langwarrin), Barath Suresh (Langwarrin) and Jay Davies (Bentleigh). Picture: Darryl Kennedy

much lauded Swedish recruit Lars Anton Kanninder had a late (and highly questionable) penalty saved by Burgess. But Portelli had Kanninder in his back pocket long before that and Langy had put the result out of the Greens’ reach in the 57th minute. Suresh quickly played the ball to Youngs who motored towards the Greens’ area. Youngs struck a low shot that Withers parried into the path of Brad Blumenthal and he couldn’t say no to such a generous offering. In the midst of the euphoria that engulfed Lawton Park at the final whistle last Saturday evening there also was pragmatism, a realisation that just one small step in a season-long journey had been taken. The setting is the same this Friday evening but the opponent is different and the history between Langwarrin and Eastern Lions should ensure a good crowd and a lively contest. Eastern Lions is coached by former Langy striker Chris Greechan but it’s

unlikely that a welcome home sign will be posted in his honour at the entrance to the complex. Friday’s match kicks off at 7.30pm. The under-23s clash will take place on Saturday 17 February at Lawton Park starting at 12.30pm. Here are last weekend’s Dockerty Cup/Australia Cup results: Mount Eliza 3 South Yarra 0 (forfeit); Aspendale 3 (Dominic Paul, Ben Garside, James Macnab) Knox Utd 4 AET; Chelsea 4 (James Stinson 2, Adam Bartosy, Lachie Davies) Alphington 0; Lyndale Utd 4 Mount Martha 0; Westside Strikers Caroline Springs 1 Mentone 1 (Marcus Spivey) AET WSCS won 10-9 on penalties; East Kew 8 Seaford Utd 1 (Ayuen Leuth); Rosebud 0 Greenvale Utd 2; Shepparton South 0 Baxter 1 (Ryan Brown). Eight local clubs took part in the first prelim round of the nationwide competition and just three progressed to round two. Chelsea was an impressive winner with English striker James Stinson adding to his growing reputation with an-

other double while South Yarra was a no-show giving Mount Eliza automatic qualification to the next round. Baxter was undaunted by a 500km round-trip on Sunday to face Shepparton South in oppressively hot conditions and returned to the peninsula a 1-0 winner. The decisive moment came in the 72nd minute when an Aleks Dukic corner was headed in at the back post by Ryan Brown who joined Baxter from Somerville a few weeks ago. Of the local losers an undermanned Rosebud proved ineffective in attack against Greenvale United which featured some talented Timorese players. But the ’Buds are expected to solve their problems up front shortly and former Mornington and Baxter signing Nathan Yule will be part of that solution. Here are the results of some local friendlies: Doveton 2 Mornington 3 (Rory Currie 2, Conor Wharton); Dandenong South 1 Peninsula Strikers 0; Peninsula Strikers reserves 1 (Jai Power) Doveton

U23s 1; Somerville Eagles 5 (Marcus Anastasiou 4, Joe Simmons) Monash Villareal 1; Casey Comets 2 Skye Utd 2 (Shaber Noor, Keita loka); Beaumaris 0 Mornington 3 (Rory Currie, Ryan Paczkowski, Conor Wharton). Mornington has shown impressive form with wins against VPL2 clubs Doveton and Beaumaris in the past week while clinical finishing and a four-goal haul for Marcus Anastasiou underpinned Somerville’s 5-1 win over Monash Villareal on Saturday. The scoreline suggests that the Eagles were well on top but it was a very competitive contest. Tom Hennessy brought down the Monash winger early in the clash and the visitors converted the resulting penalty. Somerville didn’t stay behind for long when Marcus Anastasiou was brought down in the box after a brilliant nutmeg on the Monash full-back and converted a penalty of his own. The penalty drama continued when Joe Simmons was felled off the ball after Monash’s keeper had already collected an over-hit pass and Anastasiou converted his second penalty to give the Eagles a 2-1 half-time lead. Within minutes of the second-half restart Sommie was at it again. After some nice link-up play down the left Anastasiou cut back a cross to the edge of the box where Joe Simmons smashed the ball home first time into the top corner. Anastasiou once again found himself on goal not long after when a perfect through ball from Eli Masterson allowed him to complete his hat-trick. But Anastasiou wasn’t done for the day and he broke down the right and played what seemed to be an attempted cross which managed to hit the back of the net to complete the scoreline. Here are some upcoming friendlies: Friday 16 February: Lyndale Utd v Rosebud, Lyndale Secondary College, 6.30pm & 8.30pm. Saturday 17 February: Mornington v Nunawading City, Mahoneys Reserve, seniors 10am, reserves 12.30pm; Corio v Peninsula Strikers, Hume Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Gippsland Utd v Skye Utd, Baxter Park, Warragul, 3pm & 5pm; Bundoora Utd v Frankston Pines, Hillsview Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Baxter v Sandringham, Baxter Park, 3pm & 5pm; Casey Panthers v Chelsea, Prospect Hill Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Somerville Eagles v Lilydale Montrose Utd, Westernport Athletics Track, 1pm & 3pm; Mount Martha v Mentone, Civic Reserve, 1pm & 3pm.
