Labor supporters celebrate retained seats

LABOR has comfortably retained the seats of Carrum, Mordialloc, and Frankston on its way to a decisive elec tion win.

The state government has been re turned with a majority in the lower house. It is projected to retain its “sand belt” seats despite a swing towards the Liberals in each.

In Carrum the Greens have so far re ceived 7.1 per cent of the first prefer ence vote. The Freedom Party have se cured 4.1 per cent. All other candidates have received less than three per cent of first preference votes.

Kilkenny thanked her supporters on social media after her comprehensive

win. “Thank you for re-electing me as your member of parliament for the Carrum district. I am forever grateful. I will keep delivering what matters to our local community today, tomorrow and every day after that,” she said.

During the last term Kilkenny was made minister for corrections, youth justice, and fishing and boating.

There was a 5.7 per cent swing to wards the Liberals in Mordialloc, but it wasn’t enough to topple sitting MP Tim Richardson. With 76.7 per cent of the

During this term, supporters of the sandbelt parklands proposal will look to the state government to fulfill its promise to create the project. The state government committed to the chain of parks prior to its 2018 re-election. In November the state government con firmed it had purchased 83 hectares of land in Heatherton and Clayton South to create linked parks.

MP promises more rail works, healthcare spending

Continued from page 1 In Mordialloc, the state government promised to spend $12.6 upgrading Mordialloc College and $2 million on dredging Mordialloc Creek if re-elected. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson told The News it was an “honour” to win another term.

“Having served our community for the past eight years as the member for Mordialloc, I have a proven track record of working hard each and every day to make our community a better place to live. Together with the community, we’ve achieved so much - whether it’s upgrading our schools and kinders, de livering road and rail projects like level crossing removals on the Dandenong and Frankston lines and the Mordialloc Freeway, free TAFE and free kinder, and creating thousands of great new local

jobs. But there’s always more to do, and I’ll keep working with our wonderful residents and community to make King ston and Greater Dandenong even better for the future,” Richardson said.

“We will continue to deliver road and rail infrastructure – including making the Frankston and Dandenong lines level crossing free, to reduce traffic congestion in our community and make it safer for cars and pedestrians. We’ll also continue our work to deliver the Metro Tunnel, to deliver more trains more often in our community, as well as our work on the suburban rail loop to connect our area to business, education and health hubs across Melbourne. And, we will start work on the airport rail, making our air port more accessible to our community.”

Richardson says that the state govern ment will help with the cost of living by

introducing free kinder for three and four year olds, making more TAFE courses free, and re-establishing the State Elec tricity Commission. He also says that an other 24,000 healthcare workers will be hired and Monash Medical Centre and Dandenong Hospital will receive major upgrades.

In other nearby seats, Labor MP Paul Edbrooke won another four year term in Frankston. Clarinda MP Meng Heang Tak comfortably retained his seat. He leads Liberal Anthony Richardson by more than 6000 votes so far - an 11.5 per cent margin.

Liberal MP Brad Rowswell is project ed to retain Sandringham, and Pauline Richards will hold onto Cranbourne for Labor. Labor MPs Gabrielle Williams and Nick Staikos easily retained Dande nong and Bentleigh respectively.

Planning panel asked to assess Cove changes

A PANEL will consider proposed changes to planning controls within the Endeavour Cove precinct, King ston Council says.

Kingston Council has been drafting new planning controls for the Patter son Lakes site. At a meeting last week, councillors agreed to ask the planning minister to appoint an independent panel to consider the proposed changes.

Planning scheme amendment C205 would grant council greater powers within the Endeavour Cove. It would introduce a planning permit require ment for some developments that are currently exempt.

The mayor Hadi Saab said that the

proposed changes were ready to move to the next step. “Two rounds of ex tensive community consultation have been key aspects of this process, with the planning scheme amendment re flective of what we have heard,” he said. “Endeavour Cove has unique planning rules to other areas of King ston. After a legal review undertaken in 2020, we identified some compli ance issues relating to the planning controls in this area. The proposed new controls address sensitive issues such as parking, height controls and overall development outcomes, with the aim of making them far clearer and more consistent.”

Under the current planning controls within the Endeavour Cove precinct, sometimes no permission is required to construct a building. These controls were tested at a recent VCAT hearing (“Council welcomes VCAT ruling at Cove” The News 19/10/22).

Past decisions made by Kingston Council in relation to the Cove site have been probed by an Ombudsman investigation. That investigation did not substantiate allegations of corrup tion, but highlighted council’s lack of transparency. (“Incompetence blamed for council’s Cove decisions” The News 20/10/21).

Inquiry into death wanted

ANOTHER protest demanding action on Elly Warren’s death will be held next month.

On 10 December, protesters will meet at attorney-general Mark Dreyfus’ office to demand an inquiry into Elly Warren’s death. Warren died in suspicious circumstances in Mozambique in 2016.

Warren was born in Mordialloc. Family, friends, and supporters of the cause protested earlier this month at Victorian Parliament House demanding justice.

An inquest into Warren’s death ordered by Australia authorities in 2020 has not produced an outcome. Elly Warren’s father Paul says that he has “lost confidence in the Coroner’s Court”. Earlier this month Dreyfus said he has contacted the Australian Federal Police for information, and assured that the AFP “continues to assist the Victorian State Coroner with the ongoing inquest.” (“Young woman’s death unsolved after six years” The News 9/11/22).

Protesters will meet at 566 Main Street in Mordialloc from 12pm on 10 December.

SkyBus service starts

SKYBUS will begin running its “peninsula express” buses to the air port from this weekend.

SkyBus will be picking up passen gers from Frankston, Chelsea, Mordi alloc, Mentone, Moorabbin, Bright on, and Elsternwick on its way to the airport. The bayside bus service runs from 4 December onwards.

The bus route has been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. SkyBus co-CEO Michael Sewards said he was “delighted” to announce its return. “We had to make some tough but necessary decisions at the onset of COVID to suspend some of our express services and this impact ed the lives of many of our team who have helped us build SkyBus to what people know and love today, and who are part of the SkyBus family,” he said.

The SkyBus peninsula express ser vice operates every 90 minutes, with 13 return services on weekdays be tween 4:15am and 11:30pm, and nine return services on weekends between 5am and 7:30pm. For more informa tion visit skybus.com.au/peninsulaexpress

Police arrest alleged speedster

AN allegedly speeding driver was caught in Keysborough last weekend.

Police say the car was seen speeding on South Road in Moorabbin at around 6.40pm on 27 November. Kingston Tasking Unit police pulled the car over after it got caught in a traffic jam in Keysborough.

The driver was a 53-year-old man. He was charged with violations of the Crimes Act and Road Safety Act, and bailed.

Victoria Police senior constable Jeremy Tay said “this driver placed countless people at

serious risk today. I’m glad we’ve been able to safely remove him from the road before he hurt anyone.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident can contact senior constable Tay at Chelsea Police Station by calling 8773 3200.

SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm

Before an Aussie version of this competition-based comedy series hits screens next year, with Tom Gleeson as its arbiter of good tasks, it’s advisable to get a handle on the slightly unconventional format – season 11 of the original British version, premiering tonight, should do nicely. With Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant Alex Horne in charge, five new celebrity contestants – Aussie Sarah Kendall ), actress Charlotte Ritchie (Call Ghosts) and comedians Jamali Maddix, Mike Wozniak and Lee Mack – compete in a series of bizarre challenges.

Visitors to Frankston struck down with food poisoning

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

ON Sunday last a party of eight mo tored from Williamstown to spend the afternoon at Frankston.

Whilst here the party had dinner in picnic style, and partook of tinned fish or meats, with the result that the whole party suffered severely from ptomaine poisoning.

One young lady was particularly ill, but under medical treatment they recovered and were permitted to return home during the cool of the evening.

***

A HEAVY horse, attached to a heavy dray, that backs over a cutting sixty feet deep, and on reaching the bottom calmly walks away with some of the broken harness still hanging on him, must be little short of an acrobat.

Such an accident occurred at the quarries, Moorooduc, last week, and the equine wonder was so little concerned over the event, that he was able to resume his daily task of draw ing loads of firewood for the quarry furnace.

***

Mr. L. J. Ward, Secretary of the Pen insula Schools Committee on Monday last visited the Education Department to try and obtain confirmation of a report current in the town to the effect that the Ministers of Lands and Educa tion had arrived at a settlement in connection with the High School site at Frankston.

He was unable to see Mr. Hansen; the Chief Inspector and other officials appeared to be unable to give him any satisfactory answer.

Yesterday another effort was made to ascertain the position of affairs, but from the following it will be seen that

matters are still very much in the air:–

At last nights Beach Carnival meet ing Cr. Mason informed those present of his and Cr. Oates visit that day to Mr. Hansen, the Chief Inspector of Education in connection with the High School question.

Mr. Hansen, who has recently returned from a visit to America, said that he could not understand the at titude of Frankston.

In America, towns would exert their last ounce of energy and influence in order to obtain a high school.

They would sacrifice without a regret their amusements and sports on the alter of education.

Their offerings were the park lands and gardens of their cities. Their base ball grounds and public reserves were eagerly offered in order that a school might promise to a coming generation all the fruits that knowledge can bring.

What then was the matter with Frankston? Highett, Mordialloc, and Chelsea have all petitioned for the school that Frankston has virtually turned down, but owing to the fore sight of Mr. Hansen none of them have succeeded.

He sees in Frankston a great centre.

It is necessary that the school shall be near the station on account of the large influx of students by rail.

From Caulfield, Tyabb and Morning ton will they come.

With this school in the midst of Frankston, our town will advance at a phenomenal rate.

It has all that is required to assist it in its progress.

The electrification of the town, and of the railways; it has a good water supply, and is very fertile, a High

School holds great possibilities.

Cr. Mason concluded by informing the attendance that they had persuaded Mr. Hansen to come to Frankston on Thursday, 7th December.

Mr. Hanson will be down at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and a good attendance of representatives was earnestly requested. ***

PERRY Bros’ Circus and Menagerie is amongst the largest now touring Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand, and after playing the principal cities of Australia with success, will visit Frankston by special train for one night only, on Monday, next, 4th December.

The Perry’ Bros. have spared no expense in securing the world’s best performers, for they have a very strong combination of clever tumblers, con tortionists and acrobats, and trapeze artists, assisted by talented horsemen and clowns, all of whom make Perry Bros’ circus the finest show now tour ing Australia.

A sight well worth seeing is the unloading of the circus train, which is performed by their famous Jumbo, the performing elephant, who was in the Prince of Wales’ escort throughout the Malay States.

The children of Frankston will have a chance that they should not miss, of seeing Jumbo, who does the work of 20 men and as many horses shunt ing the circus trucks into position for unloading purposes, and conveying the animal’s cages to the circus location.

The circus will visit Mornington on Tuesday. ***

THE Executive of the above Asso

ciation met in the Hastings Hall on Saturday last.

The President, Mr. J. D. Hodgins, presided.

Those of the Executive present were: Crs. Jones and Unthank, Rev. Craig, Messrs. D. Grieves, A. Grieves; A. Hodgins, Pitt, Boulter, MacRae, A. Edward, S. Edwards, Carpenter and Knox. Mr. D. Grieves was appointed secretary, with Mr. A. Edwards as sistant.

Mr. H. Knox accepted re-appoint ment as Treasurer, he having acted for some years as treasurer of the old Association.

His report on the finance of the As sociation was most encouraging, there being approximately £40 in hand.

With the secretary’s information that there were already 60 members en rolled, it can be seen that the Associa tion is in a splendid position.

The main discussion centered on possible and necessary improvements around the, jetty and foreshore.

It was decided to apply for a grant from a certain fund which is available to install a public bathing box, pur chase a block of ground near the jetty as a recreation ground and motor park, extend the jetty, etc.

Conveniences are also to be erected in the vicinity of the jetty.

The Secretary was instructed to have erected on the main road near Mr. Carey’s Bike Hospital, a red-and-white sign: “Danger to Motorists. To the right for Flinders”– as the hotel corner was considered to be a most dangerous blind corner.

All the Peninsula Progress Associa tions are to be communicated with to having a great advertising steamer

trip around the Westernport Bay in the near future.

It is proposed to invite Federal mem bers of Parliament to make the trip in order to make them familiar with what must one day, and that not long distant, be the greatest of Victorian ports. ***

THE employees of Cuming, Smith & Co. Pty. Ltd. held their annual picnic in the Frankston Park on Saturday last, when over a thousand were present.

The picnic was well conducted, and the behaviour of the “young bloods,” who usually abuse the liberty they enjoy, when on these annual outings, left nothing to be desired.

A band was provided, and the after noon was spent in dancing, sports and bathing.

Whilst playing “Aunt Sally” with the kiddies, one of the party got a terrific smack on the temple full force with the wooden ball.

He was knocked unconscious, and medical assistance had to be sought. ***

THE annual picnic of the Frankston Methodist Sunday school was held on Saturday last in perfect weather at “Ballam Park” – an ideal picnic spot.

Over 100 children were conveyed to the grounds in motor cars and drags.

The young people were liberally ca tered for, and, needless to say, entered with great zest into the various sports and games.

Great praise is due to the organisers and to those who so liberally supplied means of conveyance. The picnic was voted one of the jolliest and best yet. ***

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Bemoaning the Era of the Post-Modern Mullet

By Stuart McCullough

FORGIVE me. Forgive me in advance for the truly intemperate, intolerant things I’m about to say. Forgive me if I hurt your feelings or betray myself as being too old to understand. I don’t want to upset anyone or hurt anybody, but sometimes the truth is a blunt in strument – probably a bassoon – and the kindest thing to do is simply to blow it and damn the consequences. I speak, of course, of haircuts.

We were at a shopping centre. You may disapprove, but we’re entitled as anyone to do our Christmas shopping without experiencing a wholesale as sault of the senses. We walked (as you do when you’re at a shopping centre) for what seemed like hours and time and time again were confronted by the sight of young men, often in groups, sporting a haircut known as a ‘mullet’. For those unfamiliar with the term, a mullet is the ‘platypus’ of haircuts. Just as a platypus looks like several different animals rolled into one, a mullet consists of two types of haircut that are diametrically opposed. Like ‘fire’ and ‘ice’. Like ‘oil’ and ‘water’. Like ‘good taste’ and ‘Married at First Sight’. Some things simply cannot coexist peacefully.

A mullet consists of short hair, gen erally located at the front of the victim’s subject’s skull, combined with long hair at rear. The logic – such as it is – being ‘business up front, party at the back’. It was the haircut that de fined the eighties. If that sounds like a somewhat pathetic achievement, you need to remember how competi tive haircuts were back then. It was an era that featured titans like the ‘blow wave’ and ‘the man-perm’. Ultimate

ly, they were no match for the mighty mullet.

As someone who grew up in the eighties, I aspired to have a mullet. My

dreams, however, were cruelled by a school rule that strictly forbade boys to have hair that touched the collar of their shirt. Flouting this rule was all in

a day’s work for some, who insisted on growing their hair out until a teach er intervened and threatened to cut it on the spot. The resulting handiwork was proof – if it were needed – that hairdressing is a skill acquired through training and not at teacher’s college.

But as human beings, we evolve. That is, if we’re lucky. With the bene fit of hindsight and, possibly, a mirror, we came to understand that the mullet was an incredibly ugly haircut that not so much failed to flatter the host as it did insult them outright. Eventually, mullets went the way of acid wash jeans and were quietly retired at some point in the nineties. Granted, there was the occasional resurgence, includ ing one led by Billy Ray Cyrus and his magical carpet of hair; who brazenly boot-scooted to distract you from the tonsorial atrocity that was perched on top of his head. The horror.

Quite literally, I thought all that ug liness was behind us. Turns out I was wrong. A mere thirty-five years later and it seems that young men have embraced the mullet with a disturb ing level of enthusiasm. Worse still, they have taken this most tragic of haircuts and made it worse with a se ries of new and horrifying additions. These include a bowl-cut at the front; presumably to get the ‘demonic altar boy’ look that everyone’s been rav ing about. What’s happening out back only makes it worse.

There are two models of modern mullet. There’s the one where the long hair at the back is teased or curled to give the impression of some kind of ‘hair explosion’ from a flatulent skull. The other is lank and creates the im pression of having only recently been

released from prison. Both kinds are all kinds of ugly. It’s as though young men everywhere are participating in some kind of competition, vying for the title of ‘world’s rudest head’.

Perhaps I’m too old and don’t un derstand. Maybe I’m jealous at not being able to grow so luxurious a mul let of my own. For all I know, these haircuts are a part of a sincere albeit misguided vow of abstinence by these young men. Or perhaps it hurts to see the mistakes of the past being so hide ously repeated by the next generation. I’m not sure. All I know is that you ought not go out of your way to have a head that looks like a dropped pie. You can do better. Humanity is beg ging you.

Naturally, I said nothing as they sauntered past me in the shopping cen tre. As much as I wanted to walk up to one of these young men, grab him by the shoulders and shake him while screaming, ‘IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS SACRED, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING??????’ I refrained, because I thought there was a slight chance that I might be misunderstood. Instead, I said noth ing. Perhaps I subtly shook my head in disbelief and, granted, there was the slightest hint of a tear in my eye, but I kept my thoughts to myself.

If you’re reading this and are sport ing a renaissance mullet, I beg you to reconsider. You’ll be glad you did. But if, after reading this story and viewing footage from the eighties, you remain unconvinced, then I simply can’t help. Just know that I’m disappointed by your decision and that you broke my heart. My achy, breaky heart.

Clayton’s a tonic for Strikers

SOCCER

By Craig Ma cKenzie

THE first thing that strikes you as you enter the Centenary Park club rooms is a bar with a Shiplap timber cladding façade.

There’s signage on the façade. It reads: “The Clayton Lee Bar.”

Lower your gaze to a 75-year-old grey-haired man with a welcoming smile and a lilting Welsh accent.

He is serving behind the bar – his bar – and he’s been doing that for decades.

Since July 1982 when the Lee fam ily from south Wales emigrated to Australia Clayton Lee has been one of the constants of the local game.

Lee, wife Ann and oldest son Dar ren joined Skye Rovers that year with Darren Lee’s younger brother Ryan starting his football journey the following year with Rovers.

The family patriarch has watched his first club here metamorphose into Frankston United, Frankston Strikers and eventually Peninsula Strikers.

He’s been a player and administra tor (vice-president at one stage) and during his time there has watched three championship-winning sides strut their stuff – in 1996 and 2000 under player-coach Russell Black and in 2007 when George Hughes and his men claimed the State 3 South-East championship

“Yeah in Blackie’s days I’d say that was the best down here,” Lee said.

“The skill and the football level were the big things and everybody played for each other – they all knew what they had to do.”

The highlight of Lee’s playing ca reer came on Saturday, 19 September 1987.

It’s a game etched in his memory. The only senior appearance he ever made.

“It was the last game of the sea son against Lyndale up at the school (Lyndale Secondary College) and they kept me on for the whole 90 minutes,” he said with a laugh.

“I started off up front then Lyndale scored so they put me back in de fence but Lyndale won 1-0.”

It’s a measure of the Lee family’s contribution to Strikers that Clayton, Ann and Ryan Lee are all life mem bers.

The darkest time in Clayton’s Lee involvement with the club came in July 2019 when Ann Lee died and he was thankful of the support Strikers provided.

“It was a very emotional thing and the club did everything they could to

try and make things easier for me.

“I can’t fault them in that respect.

“Ann was such a big loss for the club as she did so much work with the canteen and other things there and the club was such a big part of our lives here in Australia.

“Over the years we’ve met a lot of people and made good friends and that’s all down to being part of the club.”

Lee manages the bar and it’s a timeintensive role especially if Strikers are playing at home the day after the club’s fortnightly karaoke night.

“Well it all starts on Thursday night at training then if there’s karaoke on the Friday and a home game on the Saturday that’s really your weekend taken up.

“I tell people it’s not the hours serving behind the bar but the hours it takes preparing and trying to make

sure things run smoothly.

“Saturday can often be a 12-hour day from start to finish and if a func tion goes late into the night you’ve got to clean up and you can be leav ing there at 2.30 in the middle of the night some times.

“To be honest I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this.

“I’m getting older now you know,” he said before bursting into laughter once more.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the Welshman though.

“I can’t tell you for sure when I started running the bar but it’s got to be at least 30-odd years ago now.

“And I’ve resigned from doing it a few times when things weren’t going right when I was doing everything and not getting any sort of help but I’ve always come back to doing it and I’m sure these things happen at

all the clubs.”

Lee has witnessed a cavalcade of coaches at the helm during his time with the club and he admits that he clashed with the committee over some selections.

“I’ve been on committees a few times when coaches were sacked and new ones hired and I’ve had a few rows when I knew some coaches shouldn’t have been hired because I knew what they were like.

“One time I went overseas think ing the coaching situation had been sorted and I got a phone call when I was away to tell me they’d hired a new coach.

“I’m not going to name names but I wasn’t happy about that and I explained what happened to the old coach when I got back.”

But Lee no longer is at odds with the committee over coaching ap

pointments.

“I don’t get involved with that sort of stuff any more.

“I just think it’s their job (the com mittee) to get the people in to put a good team on the park and it’s my job to run the bar.

“And to be fair the committee have done very well.

“We had two years of COVID plus the ground getting ripped up and a new ground laid so we couldn’t use the clubrooms the way we usually would have.

‘We couldn’t afford really to buy new players and those young boys we used this year absolutely gave it their all.

“What I liked about it was there wasn’t really a reserves team or a senior team – they were all one team.

“There was no them and us among the players and everybody fitted in well plus those young boys played their hearts out.

“Some of the boys who played last season were inexperienced at that level so you’d think they’d develop a lot.

“And from what I see the players think they can go out and try and win the thing.

“In the space of a year they’ve re versed the talk from all this rubbish about getting relegated to finishing on top of the league.

“In just one season.

“Not bad eh?” Lee said with a broad grin.
