Mary pops in for comic culture Popular culture dressed the part at Deza-Con III. Cosplayers, gaming enthusiasts and comic book lovers all turned out to share and show their love for their favourite characters at the Narre Community Learning Centre on Saturday 27 May. Event organiser and father of Deza-Con Roy Condeza said the third Deza-Con event was a great success.

“We smashed it,” he said.

“We got a bit over 400 people come through which is a really good turnout and more than previous years.”

Mr Condeza said he was looking forward to bringing the event back later this year.

■ ‘Could be the mayor is taking himself just a little bit too seriously...’

Probe into threats Casey Mayor Sam Aziz may be investigated by the State Government for an alleged breach of the councillor code of conduct in threatening to sue Berwick Springs roundabout opponents.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said she was “looking into the matter”.

“Mayors and councillors should behave professionally and responsibly, particularly when dealing with their constituents.”

The investigation’s proponent Judith Couacaud Graley raised the issue in State Parliament on 25 May. The Narre Warren North MP said Cr Aziz should be open to opposing views, not threatening and silencing concerned locals.

“They are concerned about having to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs just because they dared to speak up for their community.

“After seriously overreaching indeed, it could be that the mayor is taking himself just a little bit too seriously.

“One could question whether the mayor is using his position of power, or maybe even council resources, to attack the very constituents he should be representing.”

Ms Graley said Cr Aziz might have been in breach of code of conduct provisions that councillors treated “all persons with respect” and had “due regard to the opinions, beliefs, rights and responsibilities of ... other persons”.

The code also requires councillors to try to “en-

sure that public resources are used prudently and solely in the public interest.”

Recently, Cr Aziz sent legal letters to several people who posted on a Facebook page against a proposed roundabout across a bluestone-wall estate gateway at Greaves Road and Berwick Springs Promenade, Narre Warren. The letters demanded an apology “in wording to be agreed”, and the payment of Cr Aziz’s “reasonable” legal costs as well as “adequate” damages compensation.

Cr Aziz, who was unwilling to comment on the lawsuits themselves, said his actions were lawful and “absolutely not” in breach of the code.

He returned fire against Ms Graley for a “political stunt” attempting to deflect from her dipping “internal polling”.

It drew comparisons with a similar “stunt” in 2016 when the State Government-installed Monitor gave a “glowing report” of Casey’s governance, he said.

“Judith would be better off spending time on the infrastructure needs of the City of Casey, which her government has failed miserably in delivering upon.”

Cr Aziz said his door was “always open” for productive talks on infrastructure, crime reduction and decongesting roads.

Cr Aziz stated it was “definitely not on my radar” to stand for the next state and federal elections.

“I’ve got a job to do for the next three years to deliver for the people of Springfield Ward.”

New spin on inspiration

By Casey Neill

Guest speaker Emma Gee. 167773 Ms Gee hated her first walking frame, naming it anchovy after another of her hates.

She asked her occupational therapist for “a funkier vehicle” and was thrilled when she said yes.

“My therapist never delivered on what she said she’d do,” she said.

Ms Gee said integrity was important - to do what you say you’re going to do - as was being proactive.

“I went and bought myself a Mercedes,” she said.

She took control instead of choosing to blame someone else.

Ms Gee said she desperately wanted to “be the old Em” but it was important to

She told the audience that being patient and grateful was something she had to learn.

Homeless forum Casey councillor Milla Gilic has raised an important concern about homelessness in Casey and elsewhere (Push To Solve Casey’s Street Homeless Crisis, Journal News, 15 May).

Earlier this year, Melbourne University commissioned consultants SGS Economics and Planning to do a cost/benefit analysis on homelessness. Their report, The Case for Investing in Last Resort Housing found that homelessness cost the state of Victoria almost $200 million a year in terms of health care and crime and related costs.

In other words, providing a homeless person with a bed could generate a net benefit of $10,800 per person to society.

This year, the City of Melbourne, under mayor Robert Doyle, led a police campaign against the homeless people in the CBD. They were wrongly treated like professional criminals. Doyle’s blaming-the-victims approach only forced more homeless people to move out into regional areas and into the suburbs.

One thing that Casey council should do is to hold an open public forum in council chambers to listen to residents who have important contributions to make on a matter which could impact the future of this municipality.

John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Probians took inspiration from a young stroke victim at a Dandenong Club event.

Emma Gee was the guest speaker at the Probus Association of Victoria (PAV) delegates meeting on Monday 22 May. She spoke about developing resilience and choosing to bounce back.

“What an inspiration she is to all of us,” PAV president Joan Vogels said.

“We don’t know what’s around the corner.”

Another Probus member thanked Ms Gee for sharing her story.

“I don’t think many of us have gone through half of what you’ve gone through,” she said.

At age 24, Ms Gee worked with stroke survivors as an occupational therapist.

She’d just finished climbing a mountain in Malaysia when she first realised something was wrong.

She felt clumsy and was walking into walls.

Doctors found a problem in her brain stem known as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) - a tangle of blood vessels that could burst and kill her.

“For 24 years, the hardest decision I’d had to make was chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream,” Ms Gee said.

She elected to have the surgery. She suffered a stroke during the procedure and went into a coma.

“I remember vividly lying in my coma and being able to hear people around me,” she said.

She could hear her mum begging her to open her eyes.

“But I can’t move. My eyes would not open,” she said.

Eight days later, her eyelids finally responded.

“My world was spinning, like a ride I’d once been on at the show,” she said.

“I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t swallow.

“I’ve never been so scared in my entire life.

“I really needed to choose to take a positive spin on things.”

Shotty at cop shop but no ill intent: lawyer says

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Cranbourne man parked outside Dandenong police station with a loaded, double-barrelled sawn-off shotgun, a balaclava, a hockey mask and the drug ‘ice’ had no “malicious intention”, a court was told.

Joshua Hagen, 32, was intercepted by police in a car with two females in Langhorne Street on 2 March, while his mate sat inside the station’s cells.

Hours earlier, police had launched a morning raid of Hagen’s bedroom in his absence.

On his arrest, Hagen told police that he was merely dropping off clothes to his locked-up mate.

He didn’t want to leave the gun - loaded and with five spare cartridges on hand - lying around his father’s home, he told them.

Appearing by video link, Hagen pleaded guilty to a suite of charges at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 29 May. The most serious was being a prohibited person with a loaded firearm in public, and possessing a firearm without a serial number.

“All of the (seized) items were believed to be for criminal intent,” prosecutor Senior Constable Ben Hodson told the court.

“He had a loaded double-barrelled shotgun in front of Dandenong police station and was also in possession of methamphetamine.

“It doesn’t go well together.”

Hagen’s lawyer admitted the “suspicious” circumstances but said the accused had merely given a lift to his mate’s pregnant partner to visit him in the cells.

“He was going to wait and drive her back home.

“He has instructed very clearly that there was no malicious intention.”

During the earlier house raid, police found an array of ammunition including loaded magazines suitable for an AK-47 assault rifle, as well as camouflage top and pants and a security firm’s shirt.

There was also a bevy of suspected stolen goods, such as 51 sets of car keys, a box of watches and watch faces, and other jewellery.

Number plates, several bank cards, BHP and Crown Casino identity cards, stolen laptops and hard-drives as well as deal bags of ‘ice’ were also seized.

On another raid last year, police seized five lost or stolen bank cards, two identity cards, GHB, suspected crystal-meth, pharmaceutical tablets and knuckle-dusters.

Hagen was also charged with three petrol drive-offs in a stolen car this year and the attempted theft of a Nissan Patrol from a Clyde North home’s driveway in September.

During the latter, Hagen threatened residents with a crowbar to stop them giving chase.

In December 2015, ice pipes as well as illicit

In Brief Stolen car torched

drugs such as ecstasy, meth, and 1,4-butanediol were seized from his home after he was hospitalised with breathing difficulties.

Hagen’s lawyer said the accused’s criminal history had only begun in 2016, despite being a “functioning” drug user for the past 11 years.

Hagen was unable to apply for Dandenong Drug Court due to a full waiting list, the lawyer said.

Magistrate Pauline Spencer took into account Hagen’s “good” rehabilitation prospects and that his offending was fuelled by drug addiction.

But there was a need to deter firearms out in the community, particularly mixed with drug use, she said.

“And particularly when you’re in a vehicle in the judicial precinct and carrying a loaded shotgun in our community.

“If you choose to carry a weapon, to carry a gun, you’ll go to jail. It needs to be a clear message.”

Ms Spencer said the “significant amount” of proceeds-of-crime also needed to be punished with additional jail time.

Hagen was jailed for two years including a non-parole period of up to 12 months. He was also disqualified from driving for six months and fined $2000.

Festival of friendship with an Indonesian flavour Dandenong celebrated all things Indonesian at the Indonesian Multicultural Festival of Victoria.

The Indonesian Women’s Friendship Network organised the event, which was held at Menzies Hall in Dandenong on Friday 26 May. The day included food from Indonesia and across the globe, live music and dance, workshops, a fashion show and more.

Police are appealing for information about a stolen car torched in Dandenong.

The white 2000 model Ford Falcon was stolen from Boronia on Friday 19 May. On Thursday 25 May, it was parked in Jolly Street, Dandenong, and torched about 3.10am.

Police said fuel was used as an accelerant.

Gas leak after car crash A two-car collision in Keysborough caused a gas leak that closed several streets. Police said the contact between the vehicles was minor but one mounted the kerb and struck a gas meter on Chandler Road near the intersection with Parkmore Road about 5.50pm on Wednesday 31 May. Police and CFA crews diverted traffic from the area while it was repaired.

A CFA spokeswoman said four trucks attended the scene, two each from Dandenong and Noble Park.

“There was a large amount of gas leaking,” she said. “It was under control by about 6.15pm.

The CFA advised residents to close windows and doors and turn off heating and cooling.

An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said paramedics assessed two people at the scene but no one was taken to hospital.

Chance patrol nets drugs Police seized drugs and a weapon in a coincidental raid on a Dandenong motel.

The Frontline Tactical Unit members were patrolling in Dandenong and spotted a suspicious vehicle parked at a motel. While making inquiries and watching the vehicle, they allegedly saw criminal activity occurring around one of the rooms.

They intervened and seized a quantity of illicit drugs - including drugs that the offender allegedly tried to throw out of a rear window - plus prescription medication and a prohibited weapon.

Police arrested a man and charged him with several offences. They urged residents to contribute intelligence to guide patrols to where they would be most effective.

Looking Back 100 years ago 7 June 1917 The ball The grand fancy dress ball, held in the drill hall in the evening, was easily the best event of its kind ever held in Dandenong.

The spacious building was more than taxed to its utmost.

Whilst the dancers numbered something like 300, there were probably between 400 and 500 spectators, so that the attendance must be estimated at nearly 800.

The building was tastefully decorated with flags of the Allied countries.

Excellent music was provided by Madame Krakowski’s string band, and the duties of MC were capably carried out by Mr J Georoo.

The following prizes were awarded for best fancy dresses and sets: Best dressed lady “Salome” - Miss Connie Swords; best dressed gent L Taylor - “Ham-

50 years ago 1 June 1967 We’re ahead on cash conversion The decimal conversion program in Dandenong will be completed late in July, almost six months ahead of schedule.

Most of the old pound cash registers were converted during a crash program in March and conversions of adding and accounting machines are well underway.

The new $5 note was circulated in Dandenong this week and has been well received in local business and commercial houses.

Dandenong Chamber of Commerce sees the new note as a positive step towards complete decimalisation, viewing it as more of a decimal figure than the existing $2 note.

The chamber expects the $2 note to eventually be dropped from circulation and a long

range forecast is that the current 20 cent piece will eventually be replaced by a 25 cent coin.

A distinct mauve color is the main feature of the new $5 note showing Joseph Banks on the front and Caroline Chisholm on the reverse side.

Printing is clean and slightly raised effect of inks gives the note a distinctive appearance which would be difficult for forgers to copy.

20 years ago 2 June 1997 Post haste Dandenong is to get Victoria’s biggest mail centre.

Australia Post has bought 25 hectares in Nathan Road behind the GMH site to build a $20 million letter handling complex.

The development will house Australia Post’s head office in Victoria.

Australia Post spokesman said on Friday the centre would house a new “hi-tech” system capable of sorting mail at very high speed.

5 years ago 4 June 2012 Plea to get rid of Noble Park gates Your Voice - The crossing is the bane of my existence.

The longest I have been stuck between Chandler and Corrigan roads being 45 minutes.

If it isn’t the usual problem - train running late so gates stay down as four to five trains go through - it’s signal faults which cripple the drive of anyone travelling from Dandenong to Moorabbin.

Even when no problems it can take an average of six mins to make 150 metres either side of the crossing.

Big man was built for hard work What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names and locations.

This week the Journal looks at George Andrews Reserve in Dandenong thanks to Dandenong and District Historical Society president Chris Keys.

Tucked away in a side street off Hammond Road is the home of the Dandenong Thunder Soccer Club - George Andrews Reserve.

George Andrews was a big man, tall and built for hard work.

He was born in 1897 as the 10th of 12 children of James Fenton Andrews and his wife Edith Foster.

He attended the Keysborough State School along with his siblings, which included my grandmother Bertha.

George left school at an early age and along with his elder brothers Gordon and Arthur worked on the market garden owned by their fa-

WHAT’S IN A

NAME ther in Keysborough.

George took his first load of vegetables to the Victoria Market by horse and lorry when he was only 13 years old.

In those days this entailed a 24-hour trip to Melbourne and back.

He did this for many years, going to bed only four nights a week.

In 1923 he married a local girl Madge Hayhow at the Keysborough Methodist Church and they had three girls and two boys.

In 1959 he took on a property on Cheltenham Road, near Chandler Road.

The peppercorn tree visible on the drive towards Cheltenham was planted in the front garden of George and Madge’s first home.

George led an active life. He was appointed a justice of the peace (JP) in 1937.

He was a Dandenong Shire and City councillor for 13 years and during that time he was Shire President and the city’s first mayor in 1959.

The Dandenong Market was always one of his special interests and he was chairman of the market committee for many years as he was a member of the Dandenong Sewerage Authority.

The Dandenong Show was one of his keen passions and over 30 years he took a special delight in the pavilion for which he was chief supervisor.

In recognition of his practical interest, life memberships were conferred on him by the Dandenong District Hospital, the Dandenong Homes

for the Age, the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society, and the Freemans’ Homes.

He served as a member of both the Dandenong High School Advisory Council and the Dandenong Technical School Council.

Between 1944 and 1945 he helped to start the first community forest in Australia from which grew the Save the Forest campaign, and later the Natural Resources Conservation League.

He always was a firm believer in the future of Dandenong and he was to live to see the city’s development extend right onto his own property.

I will remember him as the brother of my grandmother who came to see her in Ann Street every week without fail with a box of vegetables.

He died in 1964.

Bailed after theft spree A man who has partially denied being part of a spate of thefts and dishonesty across Melbourne’s SouthEast has been granted bail to resume living among co-offenders in a Endeavour Hills boarding house.

Joshua Ring, 29, and two co-residents at the boarding house allegedly stole a Nissan Tiida from a Doveton resident’s driveway on 21 March, a court heard.

Police informant Senior Constable Heath Cay told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 22 May that the stolen vehicle was subsequently fitted with two sets of stolen number plates. It was allegedly involved in petrol drive-offs and ‘pay-wave’ purchases with stolen credit-cards at servos, supermarkets and McDonald’s outlets in March and April.

Ring and co-offenders had been identified on CCTV footage at the stores; Ring’s fingerprints were dusted on the crashed Tiida’s passenger doorframe after it was abandoned near his home on 13 April, Sen Const Cay said.

Ring had also made partial admissions to being in the car and using some of the credit cards, the informant told the court.

The alleged offending continued in a Suzuki Swift with one stolen number-plate on 20 and 24 April. Again, illegal pay-wave purchases were made from credit-cards stolen from cars at homes in Doncaster East and Beaconsfield.

A short time after the latter burglary, the cards were used in a $1000-plus “spending spree” of 15 illegal transactions at various stores.

At the time of all of the offending, Ring was on bail for evading police while driving unlicensed in Bendigo and breaching an intervention order in Geelong.

Sen Const Cay said Ring - who had also told police he couldn’t drive - had attributed his offending to his ‘ice’ habit.

Police had opposed Ring’s bail due to an “unacceptable risk of re-offending”, partly fuelled by his boarding-house co-offenders.

However a Corrections Victoria report recom-

mended Ring’s release to the same boarding house on the CISP ‘credit bail’ program.

Ring would resume contact with drug treatment, outreach, mental health and other services under the program, his lawyer told the court.

The accused, who had spent 12 days in remand, was still recovering from the trauma of being seriously assaulted in custody in 2014, the lawyer said.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was concerned about Ring spending further time in remand given that trauma, Ring’s Aboriginality, his one prior conviction and the unlikelihood of serving a jail term.

“But the question is his accommodation situation. It doesn’t seem to be working well for him,” Mr Vandersteen said.

Ring was bailed on strict conditions to appear at Bendigo including a night curfew, daily reporting to Endeavour Hills police station and a ban on associating with the co-accused outside the boarding house. Ring is listed to appear at a mention hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 29 June.

Ballet classic’s love and death in a dance until dawn A heartbreaking ballet classic is on its way to Dandenong.

The Australian Ballet is bringing Giselle to the Drum Theatre stage at 7.30pm on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 July.

Giselle premiered in Paris, France, in 1841 and is a tragic story of love, madness and betrayal.

It follows a village girl who falls in love with a man who is not all he seems and dies of a broken heart when she discovers his deception.

She is transformed into a spirit, is reunited with her lover in a forest haunted by the ghosts of jilted women and must dance with him until dawn to save his life.

The show will be part of the Australian Ballet Regional Tour.

Artistic director David McAllister said Giselle was a ballet that all dancers loved dancing.

Visit www.drumtheatre.com.au for more information.

Giselle stars Karen Nanasca and Andrew Killian.

Nur Islam’s intent is a sticking point in the court case over last year’s Springvale bank fire.

The Springvale Rohingya asylum seeker, 22, will return to Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 19 September for committal proceedings.

The court heard on Thursday 1 June that his defence team and the prosecution could not agree on whether his actions at the Commonwealth Bank in Springvale Road on 18 November were intentional or reckless.

Mr Islam appeared via videolink and was assisted by a Burmese interpreter present in the courtroom.

Mr Islam’s lawyer, Kate Ballard, said there was not compelling evidence to support the charges of intentionally causing injury, but that the prosecution disagreed.

“That’s where the point of contention lies,” she said.

“It’s really that narrow issue.”

Magistrate Peter Reardon questioned what his other intent there would have been.

“Just that he intended to start a fire,” Ms Ballard replied.

Magistrate Reardon said: “With a bank full of people?”

He set the matter down for an hour-long hearing and urged the defence and prosecution to determine ahead of time which footage from the incident they planned to show.

Magistrate Reardon also noted that 34 of Mr Islam’s now-108 charges included the term “intentionally”.

The 16 charges added since his last hearing on 11 May included recklessly causing injury and recklessly engaging in conduct that placed people in danger of death.

The incident injured more than 20 people and caused about $2.5 million in damage.

The bank reopened its doors on Monday 3 May. Staff said that returning to work would help them to heal.

Ms Ballard made no application for bail.

Inspired for the future

By Casey Neill Manufacturers are feeling positive and inspired to invest in the sector’s future, says a Hallam business owner.

Brad Huggett from Rebul Packaging was among three ambassadors in the Casey Cardinia Region display at National Manufacturing Week which was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 9 to 12 May. “The National Manufacturing Week is always great fun and inspiring to see growth and innovation in manufacturing in Australia,” he said.

“There is no shortage of great businesses with great products.”

Mr Huggett first participated in the showcase two years ago.

“We had a great response from the last time we were there,” he said.

“We thought there was no reason why we wouldn’t have the same response if not better this time.

“We felt the show was bigger this time and there were more products.

“We feel that there’s a growth in manufacturing around Australia at the moment.

“It’s always inspiring to be around that activity as well.

“There’s definitely a sentiment of positive uplift in manufacturing.

“Just that sentiment I think gives small business a lot of incentive to invest in the future.”

Alongside Rebul and Casey Cardinia Region were Hallam’s Advanced Robotics Australia and Pakenham’s Melbourne Rotomould.

“Two very different businesses to ours obviously, but I think talking to them as well, they’re both making investments for the future and they’re both growing, and they’re both very dynamic businesses,” Mr Huggett said.

“You learn a lot from each other in how you have to keep investing to keep with the times.

“If you just stay the same, you die, basically.”

Casey Cardinia Region, a partnership between the Casey and Cardinia council business teams, showcased the benefits of doing business in the region to generate local jobs for local people.

Rebul Packaging owner Brad Huggett brought a golf simulator to the display.

Its stand was more interactive than in previous years, to stand out among the 230 exhibitors.

The three ambassador businesses contributed a fun element to their space.

Advanced Robotics included a robot programmed to identify and separate visitor’s coins into individual denominations and tally them for donation to the Casey Cardinia Foundation.

Melbourne Rotomould brought along a rotovelo - a three-wheeled vehicle - and encouraged visitors to take a seat and pose for photos.

Rebul’s display included a golf putting simulator manufactured through another of Mr Huggett’s businesses.

“I’m massively encouraged by how it’s going in the area,” he said.

“We’ve been in Hallam for about five years.

“We’ve seen the density of the area grow.”

He said there was more traffic, more occupied business sites and “just an increased level of activity”.

“The Casey and Cardinia councils, they’re just so incredibly supportive and helpful with information for helping you develop and grow as well,” he said.

In Brief Catch ’em young for safety Some of Dandenong’s youngest residents will learn to be safer on local roads.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams announced on Monday 29 May that Dandenong West Primary School would receive $7800 to teach students how to be safer near roads and on their bikes.

The school will build an asphalt traffic course that three local kindergartens will use as part of their road and bike education programs.

The course will have road conditions that mimic real traffic, so children can learn about road safety in a simulated environment.

“Congratulations to Dandenong West Primary School for this exciting proposal to teach young children and families how to be safe on bikes and our roads,” Ms Williams said.

“I encourage local community groups and organisations with an idea to promote road safety, to apply for the next round of the TAC’s community grants program.”

The funding is part of the Transport Accident Commission’s Community Road Safety Grants Program, which provides up to $25,000 to community and not-for profit groups to promote road safety.

Dandenong West Primary was among 20 Victorian recipients in the latest funding round.

Stolen car in T-bone crash

A showcase guest tests out Rotomould's rotovelo.

“We’re still growing, probably at about 25 to 30 per cent a year.

“We’re about to change factories and get a bigger factory.

“Everything’s looking really positive for us.”

A driver in a stolen car T-boned an innocent motorist while fleeing police in Noble Park, it’s alleged.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Nick Wallace said police spotted the vehicle about 1.55pm on Monday 29 May, and tried to intercept.

The driver fled and a short time later, police allege, drove through a red light on Corrigan Road and Kingsclere Avenue.

Police arrested a 42-year-old man of no fixed address in relation to evading police and other offences.

The other driver involved in the collision suffered a minor cut to their head.

Our call heroes

By Casey Neill A remarkably calm Samaria Samuel, 13, called triple zero when she disturbed a burglar inside her Doveton home.

“He had something in his hands but I don’t know what it was,” she told the emergency call-taker.

“He left through the front door.”

Samaria and Endeavour Hills 11-year-old Ebtisam Ibrahim were among 51 children to receive Junior Triple Zero Hero awards from the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) on Tuesday 30 May. Emergency Services Minister James Merlino and comedian Dave Hughes presented the awards.

In audio from her triple zero call, Samaria can be heard describing the man she saw in her house in great detail.

“I heard bins so maybe he climbed through one of our windows or something,” she said.

“I was upstairs in my bedroom and I heard shattering sounds.”

Ebtisam’s emergency was very different.

She made the triple zero call when her nineyear-old autistic brother went missing.

“I wanna thank my friends and family that have supported me since day one and, lastly, I wanna thank my beautiful mum who has sacrificed a lot for me to follow my dreams and, hopefully, make her proud.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Electricity price danger

By Casey Neill Rising electricity prices are as big a danger to Greater Dandenong manufacturers as the decline of the auto industry.

But South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden warned it wasn’t just businesses at risk.

“Households need to be looking at their power bills,” he said.

“They need to be calling other companies.”

Mr Boden said governments needed to address the issue or risk job losses and stunted business growth.

“It’s the primary issue we have on the table for manufacturing today,” he said.

SEMMA is negotiating a bulk-buy deal for about 40 of its members.

Its three-year deal for six cents per kilowatt runs out on 30 June.

“Our best deal that we’ve managed to find, which is probably going to be a two-year agreement, is about 14 cents,” Mr Boden said.

“If you look over the last 18 months the increase has been about 300 per cent for a lot of companies.

“It’s opportunism. It’s got nothing to do with real cost.

“The cost of production of the power is no more expensive than it was two years ago.

“We have one company we’re working with who believe that this would put their company out of business.

“They were buying at 5.6 cents. They were being quoted about 18 cents. For them it would be a massive hit.

“It would become the largest part of their monthly bill, over employees, over everything else.”

He said one Dandenong South company’s power bills had gone from $40,000 per month to $120,000.

Mr Boden said businesses that tried to absorb

Homeowners are being told that they should also put pressure on electricity companies. the increases would lose profit, leaving less cash for investing in their future.

The alternatives are to cut jobs or try to pass the increase to customers “which is almost impossible”.

He said increasing gas prices were adding salt to the wound.

Mr Boden said that one Dandenong company’s gas bill increased by 140 per cent in the past year.

“They are being quizzed by their international owners as to how come they can buy Australian gas at a cheaper price than he can,” he said.

“All of the states and the Federal Government

should work in collaboration to review what they can do to influence that marketplace.”

A spokesperson for the Federal Department of the Environment and Energy said the government was taking action.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is reviewing retail electricity prices, they said, with a report due on 30 June next year.

The spokesperson said the government was also working to increase gas supply and suppliers to lower electricity prices.

A spokesman for Victorian Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the government’s VEET scheme provided businesses with access to discounted energy-efficient products through accredited providers.

“The Boosting Productivity initiative is also helping businesses to cut energy costs, with energy bills savings of $50,000 per year, on average, for participating businesses,” he said.

“We’re also helping Victorian manufacturers and businesses manage the impacts of a volatile national gas market.”

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said it was clear the energy market was in transition and the government would support industry through it.

“We didn’t abandon the auto industry and we won’t abandon our manufacturers,” she said.

Bruce MP Julian Hill said the lack of clear framework for industry to invest in new electricity generation was driving up power prices.

“The Australian Energy Council has stated ‘the lack of national policy certainty is now the single biggest driver of higher electricity prices’,” he said.

Mr Hill said the government should adopt an Emissions Intensity Scheme for the electricity sector to help fix the power crisis and a permanent national interest test for the gas market so that Australian businesses and households were at the front of the queue.

What’s your thing?

In Brief Manufacturing change cash Businesses in Dandenong South and Hallam will receive cash to deal with the auto industry exit.

The State Government announced on Tuesday 30 May that 12 businesses would share $504,000 in Automotive Supply Chain Transition Program (ASCTP). Among them were A Bending Company and TI Automotive Australia in Dandenong South and Hallam’s ABC Specialty Metals.

The ASCTP helps auto businesses to plan for the future, identify new markets and create a transition plan. Supply chain companies can apply for up to $16,000 to develop a transition plan and further funding of up to $55,000 to implement changes.

ASCTP has so far provided $1.5 million in assistance to 40 companies and 56 projects.

Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan said that as automotive manufacturing wound down, supply chain businesses needed to plan for change.

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley joined Mr Noonan at Australian Precision Technologies in Berwick to announce the latest recipients.

Lessons in tax time savings Small businesses can learn to save money at tax time at a free workshop in Dandenong.

The City of Greater Dandenong will host the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) event from 9am to 10.30am on Thursday 8 June at the Dandenong Civic Centre.

The workshop is intended to be a one-stop shop for small business tax needs.

AREA SPECIALIST, 8586 6411 DEE KAWSAR 0423 215 815 63 PATRICIA LOOP AUCTION: TWILIGHT AUCTION THURSDAY, 8 JUNE, 7PM

We have gone into some detail previously about some pertinent topics which have been raised from current affairs and newspaper headlines. It is good to know and understand what you are reading and hopefully I have been able to assist with that.

This week, I would like to focus on the technicalities of borrowing - and in particular bank serviceability requirements. Serviceability - what is it?

In the eyes of the bank - serviceability is what they perceive you can afford to borrow in regards to your mortgage and home loan repayments.

Serviceability therefore is a calculation of all your personal expenses deducted from your sources of income.

What is left over is your capacity to afford mortgage repayments. Things like car payments, personal loan payments, credit card limits, any HECS or student loans, living expenses like groceries and bills and having kids all impacts against what you earn on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis from your job.

The more income you have - the more you can obviously borrow based on the serviceability calculator. However, if you have a lot of short term liabilities (like

car loans and personal loans or credit cards) then that income quickly deteriorates away to not being able to afford a whole lot for your home!

In relation to income, banks will always consider any wage as part of a legitimate income source. If you work in or operate a cash business and your income is ‘off the books’, a lender will not consider that income toward your serviceability calculation. If you want to avoid paying taxes by earning a cash wage it is going to affect your ability to buy a house.

If you are self-employed, make sure your tax returns are filed and completed each financial year. Ensure all tax obligations like GST and PAYG are up to date and paid, and try to make your net profit result as positive as it can be. The benefits of declaring operating losses from a tax perspective are positive, however when it comes to borrowing for a home loan it is extremely detrimental.

For those of you who are on pensions (old age or disability), unfortunately lenders will not consider that as legitimate income toward your serviceability requirements. However, if you are a parent who claims family tax benefit part A and part B, lenders will consider that as part of your legitimate income in the serviceability calculation.

We have all done the mortgage affordability calculators online that banks offer for free before prompting you to enter your contact information.

Now you know the detail to which they establish your borrowing capacity!

Casey all quiet on buy-up cash

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey Council is remaining tight-lipped on what it plans to spend almost a quarter of its proposed capital works budget on.

Council has allocated almost $31 million for future land acquisitions in its 2017-’18 capital works program, but will not say what land it is planning to acquire.

The allocation of funding for land acquisition forms 24 per cent of the council’s $124 million capital works program in its proposed 2017-’18 budget.

However, council has refused to provide a breakdown of the land it is targeting to buy in the upcoming financial year.

Council’s Manager of Service and Asset Planning Wayne Mack said details of the land considered for purchase were too sensitive to release to the public.

“Council has an annual land acquisition program that provides funding to purchase property and land, to ensure we have the infrastructure and facilities that the community will require in the future,” he said.

“The details of the program are not itemised due to the sensitive nature of land acquisition.”

“This ensures a due and fair process is not compromised and property owners’ rights are respected.”

Mr Mack did however point to previous land acquisition by council and the benefit it had bought to the communities of Casey.

“It is noted that in recent years most of the land acquisition program has focused on the purchase of land to deliver infrastructure in growth areas.”

Casey Council came under fire earlier this year for attempting to compulsorily acquire land in Narre Warren North that belonged to long-term resident John Foy. After months of negotiations, complaints from residents and state-wide media attention, the council backed down in February this year and allowed Mr Foy to keep his land.

Despite repeated requests from Star News, Casey Council refused to supply even an overview or summary of where the land acquisition funds were proposed to be spent.

Police in hunt for raid spree pair Police believe two men are behind a Dandenong milk bar armed robbery and a string of other south-east incidents.

They said thieves stole a gold-coloured Nissan Maxima from Glen Waverley about 8pm on Thursday 4 May and drove the car to a pizza shop in Wheelers Hill 20 minutes later.

Police said men wearing balaclavas and carrying a knife and a metal pole entered the restaurant, stole the cash register and smashed a window.

They then drove the vehicle to Dandenong, where they entered a milk bar on David Street at 8.30pm and stole cigarette lighters and tobacco pouches.

The men tried unsuccessfully to open the cigarette cabinet.

Police said they next drove to a petrol station on Stud Road, Rowville, and forced their way inside with a metal pole and box cutter at 8.40pm.

They then left the store, causing damage to the glass doors.

One of the men was described as being 180 centimetres tall with a thin build and wearing a black and blue flannelette jacket.

The other man was described as 185cm tall.

Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au with any information.

SPORT Blueprint for cricket boundaries

By Nick Creely Local cricket may be in for a change after Cricket Victoria released a blueprint for the future of community cricket across Melbourne last week.

The vision proposes the transition of metropolitan cricket, and potentially parts of country cricket in the future, towards a five-zone model that is focusing primarily on participation and development of the game, with Cricket Victoria and its steering committee - which is made up of representatives from local cricket associations such as the Dandenong District Cricket Association.

It is aiming to build on the successful set up of Cricket Southern Bayside in 2016/17 and work cohesively with the 22 metropolitan cricket associations across Melbourne.

The new zones are geographically aligned with local government boundaries and made up of North West, Northern, Eastern and South East, as well as Southern Bayside.

The South East zone is both the Greater Dandenong and Casey City Council areas, with the one main association - the DDCA - the primary focus at this stage.

Cricket Victoria general manager of Game and Market Development Rohan O’Neill said there was still some fine tuning needed.

“We’ve still got a fair bit of work to do in terms of the consultation - the strategy was designed with key people from within community cricket, and as we noted in the release there is a series of next steps to work through with the associations particularly, and ultimately the clubs because they’re the most critical element of it,” he said.

“We’re pleased with the design of it (the zones) with the people on the steering committee, who are the lifeblood of local cricket - we’ve got a fair

Seven Stingrays to shine against country's best

By Nick Creely The final squad for the Vic Country boys has been finalised ahead of the upcoming NAB AFL U18 Championships, with a total of seven Dandenong Stingrays youngsters set to test their mettle against the country’s best young talent.

In the squad of 41, Stingrays co-captain and highly touted key defender Oscar Clavarino will skipper the side with Geelong’s James Worpel.

Clavarino has spent the majority of 2017 playing with Haileybury College, and has played just one game in the TAC Cup this season, but is undoubtedly the top key defensive prospect in this year’s draft pool.

All six of the Stingrays’ NAB AFL Academy players - Hunter Clark, Oscar Clavarino, Aaron Darling, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Tom De Koning and Sam Fletcher - have been named, although Darling is unlikely to play as he still recovers from his long-term knee injury.

A lot of eyes will be on star midfielder DaviesUniacke, who similarly to Clavarino - has been tied up on school football duties.

The powerful 187cm midfielder is likely to be jostling with two players - Darcy Fogarty from South Australia and Charlie Spargo from Victoria - for the battle of the number one draft pick.

Noted for using his big frame at stoppages to his advantage, similar to elite players Patrick Cripps, Dustin Martin and Marcus Bontempelli, Davies-Uniacke is a player capable of stepping foot into an AFL club right now and having an instant impact.

The other Stingray to make the final cut is impressive ruckman Bailey Williams who has been highly imposing as a genuine game changing tall.

The Country squad - to be coached by Mat Battistello - will feature six over-agers and seven bottom-agers, and six players who represented Country at last year’s U18 Championships.

Country commences its campaign against the Allies in Blacktown, NSW, on 11 June from 12.30pm, before clashing with Metro at Punt Road Oval on 24 June, Western Australia on 30 June at Etihad Stadium before finishing up at Simonds Stadium on 5 July against South Australia.

DDCA do a great job delivering cricket in the summer, whether it be juniors and turf - it’s set up with them as the critical stakeholder.

“The complexity is far less in the south-east because there is only really one main association and the Sunday competition as well - this is beyond turf cricket, it’s also about trying to support junior cricket participation.

“We feel it will build and aim to improve on the current model - it utilises the great work of the DDCA and the clubs but provides support, because we’re seeing a lot of pressure in time for people to run competitions - we want to get more girls competitions going as well, and someone has to run it - we want to support that better, and this has been developed with people from the DDCA.” DDCA president Michael Hawking said the new zone was in the early stages of development, with the make-up of the model and who it impacted still an ongoing discussion.

“We’ll see what happens - we agree with the premise, and we do need a paid administrator,” he said.

“Right now, it’s at the information gathering stage - we want to know what we’re agreeing to all the clubs have been informed and it’s not up to me or the DDCA to make a decision - it’s up to the clubs at the end of the day.

“We want to stress that we want to retain our independence - certain things like the annual Wookey Medal and the name we want to keep there’s still a long way to go in this process.”

Each zone will have a paid full-time administrator to run the management of the competitions, as well as financial backing from Cricket Victoria and a more meaningful relationship with Premier Cricket clubs.

Rangers sign Spanish star The Dandenong Basketball Association has announced that Spanish Olympic Captain Laia Palau has signed with the Dandenong Rangers for WNBL 2017-18.

Laia will make her WNBL debut with Dandenong after spending the majority of her career in Europe, winning five Spanish league titles in the Liga Femenina de Baloncesto and captaining the Spanish National Team to Olympic silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

A tall, playmaking guard, Palau brings superb veteran leadership to the Jayco Rangers 2017-18 squad, a perfect fit after the retirement of Rangers legend Jacinta Kennedy.

Already holding great respect for Australian basketball, Palau stated that she feels lucky to be headed down under, as she looks to expand her horizons.

“I have played 20 years as a professional; I’ve managed to fulfil all my dreams and goals at the top level of Europe basketball,” Palau said.

“I want to continue playing because I do enjoy being out on the court, but I also wanted to try new formats.

“To now have the chance to play in Australia is a fantastic option for me, especially at Dandenong.”

Admittedly towards the twilight end of her career, Palau knows she can bring strong leadership and playmaking to the Jayco Rangers in 2017-18, as the team looks to go one better than last year.

“To win the championship we have to build on last year, and it’s not easy,” Palau said.

“But I’m ready to help the team take that next step and learn more about the Australian style of basketball along the way.”

Hammerings the order of the day in Southern

By Nick Creely Journal Football Review Southern Football League - Round 8 - DIV 2 Keysborough 10.9(69) have fallen to an impressive Skye 17.3(105) outfit, in an early top four clash.

The in-form Boroughs looked the goods early, but the Bombers were never really headed after quarter time, kicking away and displacing the Boroughs from second spot.

Meanwhile, down at Peterson Street, Springvale Districts 8.7(55) just can’t seem to take a trick, falling to Hampton 8.11(59) in a nail biter.

After taking a 12-point quarter time lead, the Demons were outplayed in the middle parts of the game, and went into the final quarter 12-points down and breathing down the neck of the Hammers.

And a four goal to two final term almost stole a pulsating victory from the jaws of defeat.

The Demons have just one win in the bank and are percentage from the bottom despite being competitive in every match this season.

DIV 3 Two extraordinary score lines were the headline act of Saturday’s Division 3 action, with some almighty hammerings making for an almost implausible duo of games.

Doveton Eagles 38.43(271) were merciless in its win over the struggling Sandown 0.1(1), in one of the most one-sided scoreboards in memory.

The Eagles had 81 scoring shots - an unfathomable amount - with errant kicking at goal at times perhaps the only knock on its performance - but being too critical over a 270-point win would be fairly harsh!

Russell Robertson (six goals), Corrie Wilson (six goals), Travis Graeske (six goals), Enyate Samadi (five goals) all bagged major hauls, but Robertson kicked 13 behinds in a wayward yet spectacular display.

After having 21 scoring shots in the first term, the Eagles bettered that in the final term, registering 23 shots on goal in a stunning 13-goal final quarter.

It was similar for premiership fancy Hallam 34.21(225), who completely belted an improved Dandenong 4.3(27) by 198-points.

After starting fairly modestly to take a 26-point quarter time lead, the Hawks kicked 27 goals in the final three terms to gain valuable percentage.

Steve Sigeti (nine goals), Robert Mackay (six goals) and Sam Delosa (six goals) ran rampant over the Redlegs’ defenders.

In other matches across the round, Lyndale 16.7(103) were far too good for Moorabbin 7.5(47), with in-form goal machine Trevor Kumetaitis bagging seven goals, Endeavour Hills 8.8(56) almost inflicted Ashwood 10.12(72) its first loss of the season but fell just short, Lyndhurst 6.5(41) couldn’t quite match it with South Yarra 13.6(84) and Carrum Patterson Lakes 10.7(67) were comfortably defeated by Black Rock 17.10(112).

Eastern Football League - Round 7 The Noble Park machine just keeps on rolling,

The Doveton Eagles won in a match that couldn’t have been more one-sided. 167719 with the Bulls knocking off the winless Bayswater by 72-points.

The scoreline read 7.11(53) to 19.11(125) when the final siren blared, in a game where class proved pivotal.

In what was a fairly tight first term, the Kangaroos were well and truly in the contest - matching the Bulls around the ground - but were unable to convert, kicking 1.4 to 4.2 at quarter time.

From there the Bulls took the game by the horns, warming up with a gentle three goal second term before blasting away in the second half, kicking 12.8 to 4.4.

Ziggie Alwan (five goals) was best afield for the Bulls, utterly dominating at stages with his prescence around the contest, while Kyle Martin

(two goals) was once again prolific in the midfield, Shayne Allan’s super consistent season continued, and Lionel Benoit was impressive.

The news wasn’t so good for Rowville 9.12(66), who fell away in the second half to lose by 46-points to Blackburn 16.16(112).

The Hawks were everywhere early and looked to be causing a major boilover, taking an eightpoint lead at quarter time and a one-point lead at half time.

But then the Cougars kicked into gear, kicking 10.10 to 3.5 in the second half to run away winners.

Seagulls ruin Hendy’s party

By David Nagel Ryan Hendy is a born and bred Doveton star -in fact if you look closely enough the blood, sweat and tears he has poured into the club over the years are probably shaded with a tinge of black and green.

The passionate Doveton man played his 250th senior game for the club at his beloved home ground at Robinson Oval on Saturday.

A brief 17-game dalliance with ROC in 2013 and a two-year 33-game coaching stint at Garfield bring his tally to 300 - a remarkable milestone in this his 19th season of senior football.

He started as a 16-year-old all the way back in 1999 - making his childhood dreams come true.

“My grandparents were heavily involved in the club, dad has been president and coached as well, so I basically grew up at Doveton and I couldn’t have wished for a better childhood,” Hendy said.

“All I ever wanted to do was play footy for Doveton and to play this many games is quite surreal when you think about it. I remember kicking the footy in the park with blokes like Rowdy (Brad Downe), and it’s amazing to think that those two kids have gone on to play so many games for the club ... it’s a real buzz.”

Hendy becomes just the fourth player to reach 250 senior games with the Doves, joining Steve Henwood (250), Downe (272) and Mark Mitchell (273) on that illustrious honour board.

His style of play has been similar to current GWS star Toby Greene, a rough cut diamond - an absolute gem, who loves a goal, but with a few sharp edges to iron out.

“Yeah that’s probably a fair call, I don’t have any regrets about the way I played my footy but it was on the edge sometimes and I probably could have pulled it back a bit,” he said “But I wear my heart on my sleeve and that’s just the way I am.”

Hendy’s party was rained on by Tooradin, who kicked seven goals to three after half time to run out 31-point winners.

The Doves took the early initiative, but a four-goal effort from Fabio Dilizia sparked the Seagulls into action after the main break. Defender Frank D’Agostino was once again best for the Doves.

In other games, Cranbourne kicked eight last-quarter goals to run out 52-point winners over Narre Warren, Berwick overcame a tough challenge to emerge 23-points to the good of Officer, while Pakenham chalked up its first win of the season with a 96-point victory over Hampton Park.

All teams will now have a weekend off for the Queen’s birthday.

Dandenong City looking irresistible

By Nick Creely NPL REVIEW ROUND 17 When Shaun Filipovic netted a goal in the third minute of Friday night’s clash with Richmond SC, Dandenong City were always going to win.

When Filipovic is up and about, the City look irresistible, impassable and unflinching.

The in-form forward, who is having a brilliant season down at Frank Holohan Sports Complex, looked ominous early, with Richmond barely keeping up with the ladder-leading City.

In the 38th minute it happened again - Filipovic once again found the goals with his trademark class and suddenly it was 2-0 - City were playing simply clinical football.

With the sting out of the game, City didn’t score again until the 54th minute when Nick Kalmar converted a penalty from the box to give them a 3-0 victory and further entrench them-

selves as the team to be beat in 2017.

Round 18 sees City travel to Bundoora on Saturday to face off with Melbourne City, a club breathing down their necks in third position kick-off is at 3pm.

On Saturday night, close rivals Dandenong Thunder and Springvale White Eagles clashed at George Andrews Reserve, with a healthy local crowd in attendance.

Both sides entered the game in pretty solid positions - the Thunder sat second and were desperate to keep up with their crosstown rivals - City - and Springvale White Eagles were seventh, and trying to stay in touch with the top four.

It was all Thunder in the first few minutes, immediately placing the Eagles’ defenders under immense pressure, and in the tenth minute Kristian Sarkies found the back of the net, giving the Thunder an early 1-0 advantage.

The Eagles fought back hard and created plenty of chances, but brilliant striker Brandon Barnes

found the back of the net from the back of the box with the last kick of the half to undo their good work.

And despite fighting hard for the first 15 minutes of the second half, the Eagles were outdone by a spectacular long range goal in the 62nd minute

by Alon Blumgart to extend the advantage, before Sam Catherine put away a ripping pass by Barnes moments later to give the Thunder its fourth goal.

The win has seen the Thunder close the gap on first placed Dandy City to just two points, in what has been a stunning first half of the season from the two clubs.

The Thunder have the perfect opportunity to place even further pressure on City’s top spot with a clash at Mahoneys Reserve against Nunawading to come, a team that is second last and leaking a lot of goals.

Ryan Hendy walks out with his children William and Emma for his 250th game for Doveton.

Redenbach calls Sandown home Jim Redenbach continued his dazzling winning strike rate last Thursday night when promising pup Shadale claimed his fourth straight win.

Shadale began fairly before showing great courage to clear the pack at the first turn. He went past early leader Tiggerlong Thief in the closing stages to win by two and a quarter lengths in 29.75.

“I’m very happy him, who wouldn’t be?” said Redenbach following the win.

Owned by the Gebecepe syndicate headed by Redenbach’s brother in-law Geoff Lance, Shadale is yet two-years-old and natural improvement is expected.

“He’s still learning how to race, but I’m hoping he’ll be the best dog in Australia, just like everyone else would be with their dogs. He’s still a baby so we’ll give him time and see what happens. He’ll go back to Sandown again soon, he needs more experience. He’s clean winded he pulls up so well.

It’s all up to him, I’ll do what he tells me. He’ll get better I’m sure.”

Redenbach boasts a very impressive strike rate at Sandown Park, over the last 12 months he’s won 24 races from 83 starts and has finished in the money on 51 occasions.

With no more than four racing greyhounds in his kennel it’s a grand feat.

“They’re not very good - I don’t like losing,” laughed a modest Redenbach.

He put the impressive record down to hard work and knowing a greyhound inside and out.

“Hard work. Listen to the animal. You don’t run them over further journey than what they’re ready for - they’ve got to be conditioned and it takes a long time to do it. You’ve got to get close to them and be able to read what they do and what they’re feeling.”

A veteran of 54 years involved in the industry, Redenbach is positive about the current state of the sport.

“I actually think it’s good. I really do. In the past I think a lot of people who had greyhounds didn’t put as much time into them as they should,

Jim Redenbach continued his dazzling strike rate at Sandown Park with a fourth straight win with up-and-coming pup Shadale. stuff like that is being policed very well at the moment. A lot of the things that happened back in the day are gone.”

He holds great expertise and is passionate about the upbringing of racing greyhounds.

“They need to be handled from a very young age, make sure they’re not frightened of anything.

The earlier you educate any animal to anything is much better. When I break in my dogs they go from A to B. They don’t get to B until they do A right.

“Before they go chasing anything they need to learn what to do when in the boxes. That’s where they begin. You don’t want them crazy to chase

until they jump out of the boxes a few times onto a squeaker. Once they come out of the boxes a few times they’re not afraid of them, they don’t scratch in there, that’s A. Then you get them to chase and do everything else after that.”

South East A-League team a step closer to reality The Community of Melbourne’s booming southeast echoed their desire for an A-League Club at a special event held in Dandenong last Thursday night.

Representatives from more than 50 local football clubs unanimously backed the launch of Team11, the official name given to the community’s bid to bring the 11th A-League Club to the region. It follows the signing of an historic Memorandum of Understanding last month between the Greater Dandenong City Council, City of Casey and Cardinia Shire Council, which paves the way for a new A-League, W-League and National Youth League Club to be established in the region.

Attended by the Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews MP, as well as local football administrators, players and legends, community groups and businesses, the event articulated the vision of an A-League Club in south-east Melbourne.

State Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams MP, said that unlike other metro regions in Victoria, the south-east has no elite representation in any major football code, and this needs to

change.

“Soccer is far and away the most popular sport in what is the most populous region in the state,” she said.

“Greater Dandenong is the most multicultural region in Victoria, and among the many wonderful things our migrant communities have brought to Australia is the love of soccer.

“The broader region is home to 1.24 million people and is one of the fastest growing populations in the country, and we cannot forget that our outer south-eastern suburbs are the gateway to Gippsland, opening up a greater potential fan base through the broader south-eastern region.”

Attendees heard from Casey Comets FC President Dawn Stone and Berwick City FC Joe Di Iorio talk about the type of Club envisioned for the south-east. Key features included: · Youth teams will recruit players primarily born in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne and/or played for local clubs · 50 per cent of the women’s squad will be made up of players born in the region and/or played for

a local club · The A-League squad will have a minimum of three spots reserved for players who have come up through the youth teams and/or played at local clubs · A Club ownership model which gives equal weighting and voting powers to private investors and the community, represented by local clubs, local councils and the Club’s paying members.

“This is a Club that has had its foundations and ideals built by the local community and intends to stay true to these forever, regardless of the ownership structure,” Ms Stone said.

Plans for a stadium and training facility were also unveiled at the event.

“Our Club envisages playing out of a boutique stadium in the heart of Dandenong with an initial capacity of 10,000 seats. But with the demand for tickets expected to be great, the stadium will be built with a view to easily expand in the years to come.”

State Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams, speaks at the launch.

MOTORING Baleno has the room to impress

By Alistair Kennedy Suzuki Baleno is back - with the latest looks and excellent cabin space.

Our only problem with the touchscreen was that the audio volume control is a vertical touch slider located on the left of the screen that needs to be tapped continuously and so causes far too much driver inattention. Fortunately there is a steering wheel volume control.

Bluetooth pairing is simple and intuitive and we were tuned in within a minute. There are smartphone interfaces with ApplePlay and MirrorLink, the latter an independent, non-proprietary system that caters for Android phones.

As is the growing trend there’s no CD player.

Satellite navigation is standard on both Baleno variants.

Standard safety equipment includes six airbags, ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic

brakeforce distribution, electronic stability program, hill hold assist, reversing camera, daytime running lights, and twin IsoFix child seat anchor points.

The latest Baleno has a new, lighter and stronger platform that makes use of a number of extrahigh-tensile materials adding structural rigidity and therefore occupant safety.

Our test car was the 1.0-litre BoosterJet auto.

We’d like to have seen a manual version but commercial reality ensured that it wouldn’t be viable in auto-centric Australia.

Fuel consumption during our week in the Baleno averaged out at 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres, not that far above the listed 5.2 L/100km.

The new Baleno comes in two specification levels - GL and GLX. GL is priced at $16,990 with manual gearbox and $17,990 in automatic mode.

There’s a healthy $5000 extra for the auto-only GLX that adds a more fuel-efficient engine, LED headlights, alloy wheels, foglights, push-button start, digital climate control, rear disc brakes, steering wheel reach adjustment, and gear shift paddles.

Baleno GL and Swift share engines and transmissions but Baleno does have one point of distinction in that its GLX variant is powered by a modern three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine of the type that is popular in European cars.

GL has the choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic; GLX is six-speed auto only.

Baleno’s designers have ensured that maximum use is made of its larger external dimensions and it really does feel like a larger vehicle inside.

By reducing door liner intrusion into the front seats they’ve been able to increase front seat shoulder room and there’s enough rear knee and legroom to allow two adults to travel in relative comfort.

Boot space is an impressive 355 litres which can be expanded to 756 litres with the rear seatbacks folded and even more through removable side trims that increase the lateral dimensions.

Baleno GL’s steering wheel can only be adjusted for height, GLX also gets reach adjustment.

Display is through a seven-inch colour touchscreen located in the middle of the dashboard and split into four components that can be set to each driver’s preference with a choice of six different set-ups.
