Review will assess Frankston line extension

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

THE proposed extension of the Frankston line to Baxter is in serious doubt, with $225 million in federal funding for the project on the chopping block.

The Liberal federal government committed $225 million towards the extension of the Frankston line in 2018. Since then the project has laid dormant, and no other level of government has contributed cash towards it.

While releasing its first budget last Tuesday, the Labor federal government

confirmed that an independent review into all Infrastructure Investment Program projects not yet under construction will be undertaken. The News has confirmed that the Frankston line extension is one of the projects under review.

Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said the review is a “genuine review to get the best outcome”.

“All Infrastructure Investment Program projects not currently under construction and not an election commitment are in the 90 day independent review. The budget reflects the Albanese government’s commitment to keeping the Commonwealth infrastructure investment pipeline at $120 billion

over 10 years,” she said.

“[The review] has the cooperation of the states and territories and will look at what projects are still priorities for the Commonwealth, states and territories. The review is looking at how projects can be delivered, what the true cost is, and how those projects can be delivered given the economic conditions we face.”

A business case assessing the electrification and duplication of the Frankston line to Baxter revealed that the total cost of the project could be up to $1.5 billion. The business case was completed before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The proposal cannot proceed without more funds being committed to it. In the leadup to the 2022 state election, the state Liberal opposition promised to build the project within four years of being elected at a cost of $971 million. The re-elected Labor government did not match the promise.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke cast further doubt on the project last year when he told The News that he was concerned that the proposal would wipe out homes, land, and the historic Frankston Signal Box (“Baxter rail extension could wipe out homes, historic sites” The News 19/10/22).

Infrastructure minister Catherine

King said that the independent infrastructure review will “allow all levels of government time to consider the projects that are actual priorities, and assess their cost and deliverability in the current climate.”

“Under the Liberals and Nationals, the number of infrastructure projects in the pipeline blew out from 150, to almost 800. Projects were left without adequate funding, resources or genuine commitment,” she said. “The Albanese government is keeping the $120 billion rolling 10-year pipeline - and every dollar remains in the budget. But it would be irresponsible to move ahead without fixing the backlog.”

Reef renamed to remember Rhys

A REEF off the coast of Mordialloc has been renamed in honour of a passionate young fisher who died too young.

Rhys Gillard was a keen recreational fisher from Aspendale. He died in 2021 aged just 17, and his ashes were laid to rest at the Mordialloc reef.

Last week, boating minister Sonya Kilkenny and Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson announced that the Mordialloc recreational reef would now be known as Rhys Reef.

Boating minister Sonya Kilkenny said it is “incredibly special to be able to name this reef after Rhys.”

“Today, we acknowledge the loss of this young life and we honour Rhys as a passionate recreational fisher who enjoyed nothing more than spending time in the great outdoors with family and friends,” she said on the day of the unveiling. “Stories like this highlight how much our great pastime means to people, which is why we invest in fishing, boating and piers

across the state.”

Rhys Reef is a habitat for snapper, calamari and other species. It is located two kilometres offshore in 11 metres of water.

Mentone mums make a difference

FOUR Mentone mothers are preparing to tackle a 30 kilometer hike to raise money for the Heart Foundation.

Lidija Mustica, Pip Reid, Chelsey Upston, and Melanie Sutherland (pictured L to R) are training to tackle the Coastrek hike across the Mornington Peninsula. The group, titled the Saints of Mentone, met as parents at kinder. Reid said that the group has been juggling training with their busy personal lives, but is ready to tackle the challenge. “We have worked hard over the last couple of months to make time for us, our health, and our training walks. Often they are done after the bed-bath-book chaos,

when we are tired and ready for bed ourselves,” she said. “Here we are just a couple of weeks out from the event and I couldn’t be prouder of our team, as well as our family and friends who have contributed to raising money for the Heart Foundation. We’ve somehow managed to prioritise our training and had so much fun and lots of chats along the way. We have all noticed the brilliant impact our Coastrek training has had on our health.”

The group has raised more than $2500 for the Heart Foundation. They set off on their trek on 26 May. To make a donation visit coastrek. com.au/fundraisers/saintsofmentone

Student secures scholarship

A MENTONE year nine student has been announced the recipient of a $20,000 scholarship.

Charlotte Marshall from Mentone Girls Secondary College was one of sixteen girls chosen to receive a Harding Miller scholarship. She will receive $20,000 to continue her studies. Marshall said the funding would help her focus more of her energy on her schoolwork. “With this scholarship, I will have more opportunities to do well in school as well as have the facilities to do this. The scholarship would take some of my stress away and give me more time to focus on my schoolwork. This will enable me to achieve my goals of doing the best I can in VCE, going to university and studying abroad,” she said.

Hospital helpers hailed for fundraising

THE Pink Ladies Auxiliary’s five decades of help at Frankston Hospital is being celebrated this national volunteer week.

The Pink Ladies Auxiliary is Frankston Hospital’s longest running volunteer group. They have been raising money for the hospital since 1968.

The president of the volunteer group, Carole Thwaites, said she first joined in 2015 because she “likes to be busy”.

“There’s always something going on. I had about three months at home after retiring and I couldn’t stand it. Volunteering and being around people help to keep me focused,” she said.

“The most enjoyable part of my role is meeting people. Whether that

be someone who needs help finding their way or someone coming to buy something from our Pink Ladies kiosk. Every day is rewarding.”

The Pink Ladies Auxiliary has raised more than $10 million for Peninsula Health since its inception. Thwaites said “we are very proud of what we have achieved. It is great having our kiosk open again, as it was a challenge finding ways to raise funds during COVID-19 lockdowns.”

National volunteer week runs from 15 May to 21 May. To get involved with the Pink Ladies Auxiliary, or enquire about other volunteer roles at the hospital, contact volunteer program manager Helen Wilson on 9784 2674.

Cannabis bust

A MORDIALLOC man has been arrested in relation to the discovery of more than $100,000 worth of cannabis plants.

Police have raided two properties in Oakleigh and Bentleigh East following a five-month investigation. They say they seized six longarm rifles, ammunition, $21,000 in cash, and 42 cannabis plants worth around $125,000.

A 33-year-old man from Mordialloc has been arrested, and released on bail. Police have charged him with cultivate a commercial quantity of cannabis, traffick and possess cannabis, possess ammunition without a licence, deal with the proceeds of crime, theft, and fail to comply with direction.

Victoria Police Caulfield divisional response unit senior sergeant David Quirk said “there is no doubt our community is a safer place, with six firearms and a quantity of illicit substances off the street.”

“We have zero tolerance for any violent or criminal behaviour, particularly involving firearms or driven through the sale of illicit substances,” he said. “We will continue to work around the clock to identify, investigate and arrest offenders, putting them before the court to answer for their action.”

The arrested man is scheduled to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 26 July.

Truck theft charge

in Frankston. They found the car dumped, and arrested a man nearby.

A 37-year-old Frankston man has been charged with burglary, two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, and driving whilst disqualified. He was released on bail, and is expected to face Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on 3 August.

Housing scam warning

SCAMMERS are using fake home rentals to steal money from innocent people seeking housing. Police have issued a public warning that scammers have been falsely offering properties using online advertisements. Victims, enticed by cheap rent, have been scammed out of deposit payments. This year alone, Victoria Police says it has received reports of more than 60 rental scams, with a total loss of around $125,000. People aged between 18 and 29 are most frequently the victims of these scams.

Victoria Police cybercrime squad detective ser-

geant John Cheyne has warned people seeking housing to remain vigilant. “An opportunistic scam like this one can end up hitting everyday Victorians where it really hurts, particularly during a shortage of rental properties and a cost-of-living crisis. People and families who are simply looking for a place to call home or the vulnerable in our community are being preyed upon and it can have devastating consequences for them,” he said.

“If something seems too good to be true and the rent seems much too low for the area, it probably is. You should always inspect a property in person, or if that’s not possible, send someone on your behalf. Never send your personal details early on in the process, and you should never sign a lease agreement or make any payments before seeing the property.

“If you suspect you’ve been the victim of a rental scam, call your bank immediately and let them know, before reporting the matter via ReportCyber. You should also contact the platform on which you were scammed to inform them of their circumstances.”

So you’ve stuck with this moody forensic crime drama and now you’re champing at the bit for tonight’s season finale. Will there be a happy ending? Perhaps most pressing, will there be a third season of this Scottish crime confection? Season three still has a question mark over it, so tonight’s drama might conclude with a cliffhanger, or perhaps there’s redemption in store for all. In what could be the series’ last hurrah, fire expert Sarah (Laura Fraser, above) works with McKinven (Michael Nardone) to prevent another explosion.

Motor cycle accident - Mr Shenfield Injured

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

THE Point Nepean Road is becoming notorious for the number of motor smashes and mishaps occurring on it lately.

Another one of these distressing accidents happened at Seaford on Sunday afternoon.

At about 4pm, Mr. Fred Shenfield was returning on his motor cycle to his home at Seaford with his father, Mr. L. J. Shenfield, who was in the side car.

When nearly opposite “Fernlea”, the cycle suddenly swerved and crashed into a stout electric light pole with a sickening force.

Mr. Shenfield, senr., was pinned under the body of the heavy cycle, and considerable difficulty was experienced in extricating him from his unfortunate position.

Dr. Maxwell, of Frankston, and Dr. Le Souef, of Chelsea, were quickly on the scene, and shortly afterwards two Melbourne doctors happened to be passing and assisted in rescuing, and administering to the unconscious man. Upon examination it was found that Mr. Shenfield was suffering from concussion, a broken arm and several broken ribs. He was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital.

His son escaped with bruises. He had a miraculous escape from serious injury.

Mr. Shenfield, senr., is a prominent member of the Seaford Progress Association, and deep regret was expressed by the Shire President (Cr. W. Armstrong, J.P.) and other members at the unfortunate and serious injury with which Mr. Shenfield had met. This paper adds it sympathy, and

wishes him a speedy recovery.

***

ON Monday morning last the first court was held at Chelsea.

The Bench was occupied by Mr. Cohen, P.M., and Cr. W. Stephens (Mayor), Crs. Hunter, Richardson, Funston, W. Armstrong, Messrs. R. J. Burroghs, James, Callaghan, Frewin, Cook and Giles, J.’sP.

Before opening the court, Mr. Cohen, P.M., said he desired to congratulate the people of the district on the progress of the Borough, which necessitated the court being established at Chelsea.

He had presided at the neighboring courts at Frankston and Cheltenham, and knew that the bulk of the court business at those places came from the Chelsea district.

It was therefore natural that the Chelsea people should want a local court and thus save them travelling out of their own district.

The Mayor, Cr. W. Stephens, expressed pleasure that the court at Chelsea was at last an established fact.

It would save expense to litigants and prove of benefit to the Borough in every way.

He took the opportunity of congratulating the police of the Borough on the splendid manner in which they carried out their arduous duties.

Mr. A. Leslie Williams, on behalf of the Bar, said it was undoubtedly the correct thing that justice should be administered within the Borough.

In the past more than half the business transacted at the Frankston and Cheltenham courts came from the Borough of Carrum. The fact that

justice was being administered locally would, he thought, make the people less litigious.

This was borne out by the fact that he picked out 30 debt cases to bring before the present court, and the rush that set in to effect settlements had been marvellous. (Laughter).

He congratulated the residents of the Borough on having secured Mr. Cohen as the presiding magistrate. He was held in high regard by the judiciary of the State and there was no blame more honored for competence and fairness.

Mr. Callaghan endorsed all that had been said regarding Mr Cohen, whom he had frequently met at the Cheltenham court. Personally Mr. Callaghan regretted that the necessity for a court had arisen at Chelsea. The first comers to the district were all Arcadians and had no law troubles.

Difficulty only arose when others came to the district and rooted out those who were law-abiding. (Laughter).

Constable Feehan, on behalf of the police, congratulated the Borough Council, the Progress Association, local magistrates and citizens on securing a court for Chelsea. It would prove a boon to the inhabitants.

THE FIRST CASE

J. J. Lawrence, of Carrum Downs, proceeded against E. H. Noble, for the sum of £2/2/6 money due. Mr. A. Leslie Williams appeared for the plaintiff.

There was no appearance of the defendant. An order was made for the amount claimed with costs.

WHO IS THE OWNER?

Chas Scott, Inspector for the

PUZZLE ZONE

Borough of Carrum, charged Thos. W. Hunter with allowing a pony to wander.

Defendant did not appear.

The inspector stated that the pony had been impounded and was released to Wilfred Hunter, who signed the pound book for Thomas W. Hunter, who he said was the owner.

The P.M.: That is not evidence. You must conduct these cases properly.

At this stage Mr. Hunter, senr., made his way to the front of the court. He said the Wilfred Hunter referred to was his grandson and was only 7 years of age.

Inspector Scott: I can produce the pound book.

The P.M.: Here we are in a difficulty. If Wilfred is the owner he should have been charged in the Children’s Court.

Inspector Scott said the owner was Thomas W. Hunter, the father of Wilfred.

The P.M.: You must supply the necessary proof. The case will be adjourned for 14 days.

THE DOG ACT

Mrs. Dodds was then charged with neglecting to register two dogs within 15 days after receiving notice.

Inspector Scott proved the case.

Defendant said it was an oversight.

She paid regularly every year and had paid the fees since receipt of summons. Fined 5/- with 2/6 costs.

THE DOG DIED

Edith Thompson was charged with failing to register a dog.

Defendant: I am very sorry but the dog died 6 or 7 weeks ago.

Inspector Scott said he saw the dog alive 3 weeks ago.

Defendant: I think not!

Fined 5/- with 2/6 costs, the P.M. remarking that an order would not be made for the registration fee as the dog was dead.

HASTINGS v. NAVAL BASE

By the small margin of 4 points, the Flinders Naval Base compelled Hastings to take the count on Saturday last.

The match, played at Hastings attracted a good crowd and was of a friendly but spirited nature throughout.

In the first quarter Hastings scored 3.5 to 1.1, but against the wind they failed to score, whilst the Navy lads added 1:5.

The blues still had an advantage of 5 points at the interval.

Upon resumption, a good even game resulted, and at the “spell-oh” Hastings were leading by 1.7 to 3.7.

The naval brigade decided to invade the foes territory and do the job properly or die in the attempt.

The final term was one of great energy, and after many exciting moments the Base forged ahead.

Hastings made a brilliant effort. Langholtz, Boyce, Jack and Campbell were seen to advantage in a series of passes.

Jack had a shot, but it fell short –just when a goal would have won the match!

Campbell picked it up smartly and snapped a point from a difficult spot. When the bell rang, Naval Base had won by 4.13 to 4.9. ***

Sharks score freely, Yabbies pick up a close win

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

DIVISION ONE

REIGNING premiers Frankston YCW have returned to the winner’s circle with a hard-fought victory over Red Hill.

The Stonecats were looking to bounce back after a surprising defeat the week prior. Red Hill looked their equal though, and at half time the Hillmen were ahead.

Frankston YCW established control in the third term, and took a seven point lead into the last quarter.

The Stonecats wrapped up the win with a four goals to two last quarter.

The final score read Frankston YCW 12.13 (85) to Red Hill 9.8 (62).

Luke Paynter and Luca Goonan were excellent for the victors.

Sorrento emerged victorious after a shoot-out with Langwarrin at David Macfarlane Reserve on Saturday.

The Sharks were in charge of the contest throughout the entire after-

noon. A seven goals to two second quarter saw them build an unassailable lead.

Langwarrin booted seven goals in the final quarter to close the gap, but it wasn’t enough to get near Sorrento. The Sharks ended up winning by 28 points 20.11 (131) to 15.13 (103).

Six goals from star forward Leigh Poholke were vital for Sorrento. Aaron Breman scored four majors, and Jared Risol kicked three. Josh Bateman scored six goals for the Kangaroos.

Mt Eliza fired a warning shot to the rest of the competition on Saturday. They smashed Bonbeach by 70 points, and finished the round on top of the ladder.

Elsewhere Pines defeated Rosebud, and Dromana picked up a 39 point victory over Frankston Bombers.

DIVISION TWO

TYABB gave their home crowd plenty to smile about on Saturday after a narrow win over Pearcedale.

The Yabbies went behind in the first quarter, but wrestled back control in the second term. They led by 15 at half time.

Pearcedale chipped away at Tyabb’s lead in the second half, but couldn’t quite gather enough momentum to topple them.

Tyabb held on for a tight win 12.9 (81) to 10.12 (72). Dale Sutton, Will Hose, and Bradley Williams were

named in the best for the victors.

Mornington bounced back from last week’s defeat to beat Crib Point on the road on Saturday.

Crib Point were on the back foot from the very beginning. They scored just one behind in the opening quarter. Although the Magpies bounced back with a better showing in the second quarter, Mornington was still able to hold onto the lead. The Bulldogs eventually won by 19 points - 7.10 (52) to 10.11 (71).

It was another miserable afternoon for winless Rye on Saturday. They were massacred by Edithvale-Aspendale 21.27 (153) to 7.3 (45).

Michael Meehan was awesome for Edi-Asp. He booted seven goals. Karingal finished the round on top of the ladder after a 26 point win over Somerville. Chelsea also celebrated a good win last weekend - the Seagulls smashed Seaford 17.22 (124) to 6.3 (39).

It’s the Riley Anderton show

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

RILEY Anderton treated onlookers

to a volleying masterclass on Saturday as he single-handedly broke Berwick City’s resolve with a breathtaking four-goal display.

The Peninsula Strikers ace was the catalyst for a second-half turnaround at Centenary Park that saw a 1-0 deficit transformed into a resounding and unexpected 5-1 win.

Until the Kiwi first struck in the 55th minute Berwick was the better side and deserved its slender lead but Anderton levelled when he spun on a deflected cross and volleyed with his right foot into the roof of the net.

Within minutes he demonstrated a deft touch at the far post sidefooting his volley over Berwick keeper Nick Caccamo to make it 2-1.

Anderton notched his hat-trick in the 75th minute with a much more mundane effort running onto Jamie Davidson’s through ball and touching it past Caccamo to make it 3-1.

It was back to the spectacular a few minutes later with perhaps his most remarkable strike.

He was outside the box when he let fly with his left foot pairing timing with precision to produce a volley of such velocity that a helpless Caccamo could only look on in wonder as the ball rocketed into the top far corner.

Cooper Andrews jinked his way past multiple opponents in the 85th minute then hit a low strike inside the area to put an exclamation mark on a scoreline no-one could have tipped at half-time.

Strikers featured two debutants with Faraz Zenoozi in goal and late in the contest 17-year-old Billy Rae replaced veteran Wayne Gordon.

In other State 2 matches Frankston Pines broke through for a first win of the season when defeating Doncaster Rovers 3-2 away on Friday night but Skye United lost 5-2 away to Heatherton United the following evening.

Pines opened the scoring after nine minutes when a Cal Batey far post corner was headed back across goal by Anish Khem and Aaran Currie headed in from point blank range.

The visitors increased their lead in the 27th minute when an alert Kaspar Fry robbed a defender then laid the ball into the path of Khem whose low shot nestled inside the far post.

Doncaster hit back in the second half with a far post header from Michael Papanicolaou and a stunning strike from a tight angle by Daniel

Piazza.

Savenaca Baledrokadroka was making his first appearance back in Pines’ colours after transferring from Beaumaris and he pounced on a poor defensive pass to drill a low shot inside the far post for an 87th minute winner.

In NPL2 Langwarrin lost 3-2 away to Brunswick Juventus on Friday night.

Langy was 3-0 down at half-time and reduced to 10 men after Tom Youngs was shown a straight red just before the interval.

Despite the disadvantage Langy hit back twice in the second half through Josh Varga and a remarkable Lucas Portelli strike from distance that caught Juve keeper Fraser Chalmers off his line.

In State 1 Mornington reclaimed top spot on the ladder with a deserved 2-1 away win over Eltham Redbacks on Saturday.

The Seagulls are now unbeaten in their last seven matches and Rhys Craigie gave them the lead in the 19th minute after forcing a defensive

error and finishing from the edge of the box.

Eltham’s Nick Edwards equalised soon after with a superb free-kick but the goal that split these sides came in the 53rd minute from Brady Pollard who lobbed Eltham keeper Abdul Koc from outside the area.

Despite late Eltham pressure Mornington defended well led by keeper Kane Runge, Ziggy Razuki, Josh Heaton and Satoshi Kurokawa. In State 4 Somerville retained an unbeaten record with a hard-fought 1-0 away win over Lyndale United on Saturday.

It took until the 67th minute for the stalemate to be broken.

Conor Mcfall beat his opponent on the right then hammered the ball low across the face of goal for Marcus Anastasiou to prod home.

Somerville then had to resist a defiant Lyndale but held on by the skin of its teeth.

Baxter’s revival continued with a 5-1 away win over FC Noble Hurricanes on Friday night.

equally impressive top corner strike on 54 minutes.

The teenager struck again nine minutes later with a tap-in following a well-saved Hawkins shot.

Ethan Sanderson then split the defence with a great through ball for Jaden Tabener to finish well past Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks in the 84th minute.

And Masterson completed his hattrick shortly after by converting the penalty awarded after Michael Durrance was upended in the box.

Mentone had a comfortable 4-0 home win over bottom side Pakenham United.

Tyler Pollard put Mentone in front after 17 minutes with a calm sidefoot finish before Marcus Spivey's 40-metre wonder strike seven minutes later had the home side 2-0 up. Second half goals from Frankie Varsamis and another from Spivey completed the scoring.

Mount Eliza lost 3-0 away to Casey Panthers despite having most of the possession.

The visitors failed to finish a number of chances and player-coach Bryce Ruthven is hoping to add a proven goalscorer to his squad shortly.

NEXT WEEK’S GAMES

Izaak Barr, Liam Baxter and Dallas Mcneill did the damage.

Chelsea had to settle for a 0-0 draw at home against Springvale City also on Friday night.

Carlo Melino’s side has now recorded five draws in eight games with just one loss.

In State 5 Aspendale remained in the promotion chase and grabbed second spot on the ladder with a 1-0 win over Rosebud on Saturday.

The decisive moment came in the second half when first-half substitute Sam Timuska-Carr raced down the right and sent an inch-perfect cross to Jack Runciman who steered it home.

Mount Martha hammered Seaford United 5-0 at North Seaford Reserve last weekend.

Mitch Hawkins opened the scoring in 43rd minute after the visitors had defended a bombardment of corners.

The former Seaford player hammered his shot into the top corner from the right-hand side of the box.

Eighteen-year-old Eli Masterson grabbed the first of his hat-trick when he tried to outdo Hawkins with an
