Isaacs boundaries on the move
Brodie Cowburn
brodie@baysidenews.com.au
NEW boundaries for the Isaacs electorate have been locked in.
Highett and the western part of Moorabbin have moved from Isaacs into Goldstein. The boundary, which used to run along the Frankston train line and South Road, has moved to Chesterville Road.
All of Keysborough, which was previously split between Hotham and Isaacs, is now within the Isaacs boundary. Isaacs has also picked up Springvale South and part of Noble Park from Hotham - the boundary now lies at Heatherton Road.
At the southern boundary, Patterson Lakes, Carrum, Bonbeach, and parts of Chelsea and Chelsea Heights have transferred from Isaacs to Dunkley.
The boundary separating Isaacs and Bruce has moved from the train line to the Nepean Highway. That change was opposed by Bruce MP Julian Hill and Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus.
Hill’s submission to the AEC on the changes read “the draft proposal would see Isaacs randomly jump the Dandenong Railway line at Dandenong West. This should be reversed.
“Putting a strip of Dandenong into Isaacs is presumably just a device to manage numbers, however it is unnecessary and there are better ways to meet the mathematical requirements without creating such a disruptive and irregular outcome,” Hill said.

Survivor talks ‘life after I left’
LIFE for women after traumatic events will be the focus of a keynote speech in Moorabbin next month.
Cat Dunn is leading the “Life After I Left” event. Dunn is a survivor of domestic violence - she says that she is hoping to inspire other women to thrive after living through traumatic circumstances.
“I know there’s a lot of women who want to speak and share their stories about who they are and what they’ve overcome. I want to bring together different women from different walks of life and talk about how to get past it,” Dunn said. “I was in a domestic violence relationship, and I started my own business and it was what got me out of bed in the morning. In my business I supported coaches that helped other women to change their lives, and I was thinking about how to get those stories out and connect with other women. So I began working with a speaking coach who taught me to share my story. I realised how much of a pandemic domestic violence is in Australia, and I began writing a keynote about my life after leaving.
“The point is to share that although life is hard and bad things can happen, that people have the power to change their lives. It’s going to be raw but there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I want women to see they have the power to start businesses and leave relationships.”
Guest speakers are set to talk about their individual experiences with miscarriage, body image issues, and postnatal depression.
Dunn said a portion of ticket sales
will go towards Women’s Community Shelters to help them build homes on the Mornington Peninsula.
“They’re a charity building a shelter on the Mornington Peninsula so that women have a space to stay with their children, because often there is not enough space for children for women escaping violence. The Mornington Peninsula in particular has a high rate of women requiring shelter and there isn’t enough space.”
Life After I Left takes place at LOEV Moorabbin on 28 November. To book tickets visit eventbrite.com.au/e/life-after-i-lefttickets-1005668981997

MPs oppose shift
Continued from page 1
“The Dandenong Railway line has been the boundary for many decades, reflecting multiple natural communities of interest. The railway in that area is a very hard and natural boundary.”
Dreyfus also wrote to the AEC opposing the changes (pictured above) - he said “the proposed redistribution would unnecessarily disrupt existing communities with strong cultural connections and would create confusion by splitting the new electorate over four local government areas.”
“I do not support the proposal that my Division of Isaacs should cross the railway line into Dandenong West, splitting the Dandenong CBD and commercial area. This proposal does not reflect the community of interest. The area to the south of the railway line which is in Isaacs is commercial and recreational, not residential. The longstanding boundary of the railway line should be maintained,” he said.
Belyea preselected
INCUMBENT Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea has been preselected to run again at the next federal election.
Belyea won the March by-election for the Labor Party - she defeated Liberal Nathan Conroy by 2.7 per cent on the two-party-preferred count.
Belyea was officially locked in as Labor’s candidate last week. She said “it’s an honour to have the opportunity to run for re-election.”
“Locally, Labor has significantly invested in our community - whether it be the Frankston Urgent Care Clinic, sporting pavilions, stadiums, schools, car parks or community centres. I want to see all these projects finished and even more investment in our community,” she said.
“Supporting people with cost-of-living relief is a top priority. There’s been targeted action to cut taxes, provide energy bill relief, get wages moving and make medicines cheaper – but there is always more to do. I want to see Medicare strengthened even more and more investment in social and affordable housing and local infrastructure.”
The March by-election was triggered by Peta Murphy’s death in December.
Nathan Conroy will contest Dunkley for the Liberal Party again at the federal election.

Mum goes back to school
A FRANKSTON North mother has gone back to school to complete her VCE aged 44.
Melissa Carling dropped out of high school to have a child. Now a mother of four, Carling has returned to complete her schooling.
Carling has studied one subject a year for the last four years. This year marks the end of her studies. She said “I felt supported, guided and encouraged” to undertake the effort.
“Doing my VCE has opened doors to better opportunities,” Carling said.
After finishing her VCE exams, Carling has her sights set on finishing further education in disability care and leaving her cleaning job. “It’s time to move on,” she said.
Around 4000 Victorian adults completed their VCE studies in the last five years. Box Hill Insti-
tute is one of the state’s largest providers of VCE education outside of secondary schools - director of BHI’s foundation education college Matt
Hetherington said “not everyone has a great experience at secondary school. People leave early for various reasons but don’t want to miss out on completing Year 12. That’s where we come in.”
“The curriculum is carefully curated with popular subjects favoured by mature-aged students.
Learners can also tap into various support services including financial scholarships, a ‘Head Start’ program and ongoing curriculum assistance. Our teachers are experts at supporting people to become confident, lifelong learners.”

Emergency services were called out to the Young Street tobacco store at around 4.40am on 22 October. They found the shop ablaze, and worked to extinguish it.
In a statement, Victoria Police confirmed that it is investigating the incident.
“It is believed a vehicle was driven into a store before the business was set alight. No one was inside at the time,” Victoria Police said. “The investigation remains ongoing.”
The same night, a tobacco shop in Thornbury also went up in flames. Anyone with information can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submitting a report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

The victim sustained minor injuries. The alleged offenders are still outstanding.
In a statement, police describe the man as “caucasian, 176cms tall, skinny with long straight dark coloured hair, blue eyes and a gap in his front teeth. He was wearing a grey baseball cap, long black coat, long red pants and white shoes.”
Police say the woman is “caucasian, 155cms tall, skinny with grey hair tied up in a bun. She was wearing long dark coloured pants, blue top and white shoes.”

Search for Ronan
seen walking past Kinetic Stadium in Frankston at about 6.45pm on Tuesday, 28 May. He left Frankston Hospital earlier that day, and was spotted at a Davey Street chemist at around 4pm.
Last week between Monday and Friday, police conducted a five-day search for Ronan in the Frankston CBD and its surrounding areas. In a statement, Victoria Police has urged residents to come forward with information. “Police and family continue to hold concerns for Ronan’s welfare as he lives with epilepsy and an acquired brain injury, both of which both require medication. His disappearance is extremely out of character,” Victoria Police said. “Officers are also appealing for residents in Frankston South, specifically those residing in and around High Street, Warringa Road, Cliff Street and Foot Street, to check their properties and review any CCTV footage they might have from 28 May.
“Ronan is Caucasian in appearance and approximately 167cm tall with dark shoulder length hair and a grey beard. He was wearing black tracksuit pants, a faded black hoodie, black runners, and black rimmed glasses.”
Anyone with information can contact Frankston Police Station on 9784 5555.

GREAT AUSTRALIAN CONCERTS: FINN/KELLY SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm
Nothing inspires FOMO (that is, Fear of Missing Out) quite like a live concert or superstar spectacle. From sellout pop phenomenons to farewell tours, these cultural touchstones can be the hottest ticket in town, and who doesn’t love to say, “Oh, I saw them in their heyday”, when a reunion tour rolls around? This time capsule of a series, hosted by Mark Lizotte, aka Diesel, is here to cure any regrets by revisiting Australian music’s greatest shows. Tonight, it’s Paul Kelly and Neil Finn’s (pictured) 2013 gig, “Goin’ Your Way”, at the Sydney Opera House.

NINE, 7.30pm
Daniel Craig wraps up his time with Her Majesty’s Secret Service as superspy James Bond in this fitting finale that ranks among 007’s best outings. After an explosive opening scene, the film finds Bond retired from MI6 duty and enjoying a quiet life in picturesque Jamaica. His peace is soon interrupted, however, when his CIA buddy Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) turns up seeking his help. His subsequent mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist sees Bond outmaneuver his successor Nomi (Lashana Lynch), leading him to a scarred and heavilyaccented villain (Rami Malek) who is armed with a dangerous new technology that’s capable of killing millions. Closing out his five-film run as the iconic agent, Craig well and truly signs off from the enduring franchise with a bang.

The Indignant Ratepayers Rise Up
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
IT is compatible with sound reason and commonsense that an immediate investigation be made into the disastrous financial position in which the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council is placed at the present juncture of events.
Bluff, and continued camouflage, of the most flagrant order, has been the keynote which certain councillors have persistently struck for some time past, while the lost chord element of procedure, at the monthly meetings has, of recent date, become so pronounced that “John Citizen” is now demanding an explanation of the strange conduct of the old and tired civic fathers in respect of their gross indiscretions, and apparent indifference.
Puerile irresponsibles would not be too strong a term to apply to those councillors, who despite repeated warnings, have plunged still deeper into the vortex of unwarrantable expenditure, and proved themselves to be the true partisans of frenzied finance.
Even when it was forcibly impressed upon them that they, as representatives of the ratepayers, had exceeded the “legal limit,” the juvenile scorn with which the typical schoolboy discards the peanut shells at a picture show, after he has gobbled, with relish, the interior substance; became manifest in the attitude shown by the clique under review.
In short, their would-be superior airs of defiance at the bare suggestion that they should, for the sake of
common decency, climb down with whatever degree of honour might be assumed or left to them, and admit their faults the anachronisms pertaining to having utilised the general fund for purposes other than for which it is specifically provided in accordance with the Act, was altogether beyond the submission of ridiculous pride.
They forgot that “beggars cannot be choosers,” moreover, the story pregnant with a strong moral of taking the pitcher to the well once too often.
Now, and at the eleventh hour, so to speak, it may be emphasised that the ratepayers who, virtually, are the masters, have taken direct action; although it is very belated; and during the current week requisitioned the Shire President (Cr. May) to convene an indignation meeting with the object of “expressing their keen dissatisfaction at the manner in which the finances of the council have been managed, also to discuss other matters relating to the council,” and to this request the aforesaid president acceded.
We desire to point out that had the ratepayers, hitherto exercised reasonable interest in the affairs of the council, and those vitally affecting their future welfare, the present deplorable stage would never have been reached.
It was only the apathy of the ratepayers which encouraged the councillors to whom we allude to take unpardonable liberties with the trust reposed in them and thus drift into the mire of reckless expenditure, the ratepayers apparently not recognising that they possessed the equitable right to enforce satisfaction.
Such a demand is not without precedent, nor can the prevailing protest be cited as unique.
Quite recently the ratepayers of the Caulfield municipality agitated for redress, in much the same way as the ratepayers of the Frankston and Hastings Shire have arisen, in their righteous indignation, realising that the time has arrived when drastic action must be taken to avert the grave possibility of total disaster.
In conclusion, we predict that the meeting, on Thursday night next will be fraught with great possibilities for good, and shall be instrumental in something tangible resulting.
Another important factor, the stagnant atmosphere which has been created by the civic fathers and at the council table, permeates the proceedings of negligible quantity, may be cleared away, while co-operative measures will bring about a solution of existing problems.

Motoring Home From Henley – A Serious Accident
Mr Albert Ward, of Canterbury, brother of Mr. L. J. Ward, Frankston, met with a serious accident on Saturday night last, whilst motoring home from Henley. His eyes were severely injured by glass from the shattered
wind-screen, the sight of one eye being destroyed.
Mr. Ward is a prominent city business man and great sympathy is felt for him in his misfortune.

Personal
Mr. and Mrs. C. G. V. Williams, who have been on an extended tour to the Old Country, returned to Australia last week. They visited their “Ballam Park” home during the week and received a hearty welcome from their many Frankston friends.
The youngest daughter of Mr. Leo Pallamountagne, of Frankston, we regret to state, passed away on Friday night last. The child died from convulsions supervening on hooping cough.
The funeral took place at the Frankston cemetery on Saturday afternoon, Mr. H. Gamble having charge of the arrangements.
We are pleased to state that Edward Dess, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Dess, of Frankston, who recently sustained severe injuries in an heroic attempt to save the life of an old lady at Darlinghurst, Sydney, during a disastrous conflagration, is making good progress towards recovery.
As stated in last Friday’s issue of “The Standard” Mrs. Dess proceeded to the Harbour City to see her brave son, and on Monday Mr. Dess received the welcome intelligence concerning the improved condition of Mr. Edward Dess.
The death occurred on Sunday afternoon at Mount St. Evin’s Private Hospital, Eastern Hill, of Mr. Hugh
McNeill, aged 62 years, a well-known Grazier, of “Bainlee,” St. Arnaud.
The late Mr. McNeill formerly owned stations at Pretty Pines, St. Arnaud; Gowrie Estate, Kerang, and was well known in sporting circles. He leaves a widow, three sons and three daughters. His remains were interred in the Redbank cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was well known in Frankston.

Cricketers Disqualified
Five players in the Mentone “B” team were called before the Mentone committee last Tuesday to explain their absence on the second day of the Edithvale match.
Mentone were leading on the first innings, but owing to the non-appearance of these players had to bat five men short in the 2nd innings and lost the match.
In the case of one player, his omission from the second match and a warning from the chairman were considered sufficient punishment, as he had been told by a member of the committee there was to be no play on the second day, and his name was restored to the selectors’ list.
Three of the other delinquents were ordered to stand down during the pleasure of the committee, which means they will not be able to play competition cricket in Victoria for some time.
The case of the fifth player was held over.

Three top signings for Langy
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
IT’S taken six years but Langwarrin head coach Jamie Skelly hopes it’s going to be well worth the wait.
Wind the clock back to 2018 and Skelly is coaching at State 1 level.
“That’s when we first started talking,” Skelly said.
“I was at Comets and he was returning to the UK after playing in America.
“I actually had signed him then he got an offer from Concord Rangers (in England) and he decided to go back there.”
The player in question is Tosan Popo, now 32 years old, and one of three new signings at Lawton Park as the local club gears up for its 2025 VPL1 campaign.
“He reached out to me at the start of this year but we had signed all our visa players so I put him touch with Steve (Voursoukis) at Nunawading and he won their best and fairest this year.
“He’s very versatile.
“He can play in midfield, he can play out wide and he can play at full-back.”
Popo completes Langwarrin’s quota of visa players joining Rogan McGeorge, Tommy Youngs and Ryo Takahashi.
Popo featured in all of Nunawading’s 22 VPL2 games this year and he’ll be joined at Lawton Park by Kingston City duo Cooper Legrand and Kosta Apostolopoulos.
The Kingston duo were mainstays of the Grange Reserve outfit’s 2024 campaign with 25-year-old Legrand featuring in all but one game while 24-year-old Apostolopoulos was ever present.
“Cooper’s been on our radar for a while in fact we’ve been speaking to him for a few years,” Skelly said.
“He’s a proven goalscorer at this level having scored 12 goals this year and he generally scores 10 plus goals a season.
“He’s played at NPL level with Dandy City and when things fell into place this year we were delighted to bring him in.
"He knows a few people in our dressing room, he can see the trajectory that we’re on and he can have an impact on getting us to where we want to be.
“He’s another versatile player who can play anywhere across the front three and can play as an attacking midfielder as well.”
Langwarrin also has had Apostolopoulos in its sights for some time.
The midfielder was with Northcote City before switching to Kingston
City midway through the 2023 season.
“He’s a box-to-box type who plays a bit deeper than the other two,” Skelly said.
“He can play as the first receiver but he can also link up and he’s an aggressive player.”
Langy also has had three departures from last season’s squad – goalkeeper Griffin Bambach, forward James Kelly and young midfielder Marcus Di Meo.
Bambach is from Byron Bay but was signed by Langy from Sunshine Coast Wanderers late last year.
Bambach and his girlfriend have returned up north and from all reports are happy to no longer be facing the prospect of another winter in Melbourne.
James Burgess vied with Bambach for the number one spot in goal throughout the year and has been retained while Branten Kindler has been promoted to the number two spot.
Kelly is rumoured to be heading to Mornington but that is yet to be verified.
“It was a funny sort of season for James,” Skelly said.
“He missed a fair chunk of pre-season for various reasons and then did really well off the bench early in the season but he got injured again.
“When he came back he forced his way into the side and did well for around six or seven games.
Sudoku and crossword solutions
“Probably the main reason he moved on is that we couldn’t really guarantee him as much game time as he wanted and as he is moving into the end stage of his career it’s about getting as much game time as he can.
“I totally understand that.”
While the bulk of last season’s squad has been retained Skelly won’t rule out the prospect of further signings.
“The squad still isn’t 100 per cent finalised,” he said.
“There still are players interested in coming and we still are talking to them so we remain open to bringing players in.”
Langwarrin was due to hold its AGM as we went to press and it’s believed that James Bretnall would step down as president and be replaced by businessman Rob Vickery.
It’s understood that Bretnall is keen to pursue a different role on the committee but despite the change at the top Skelly sees no change in the club’s commitment to its senior men’s program.
“They are still very supportive,” he said.
“Speaking to the people here now and who they expect will be coming in I don’t believe anything will change in terms of how we run the men’s program.
“If anything we’ll be trying as hard as we can to push the senior program
and grow the rest of the club.”
Skelly also released his retained players list which is:
GOALKEEPERS: James Burgess, Branten Kindler. DEFENDERS: Luke Goulding, Luke Adams, Jeremy Min Fa, Lucas Portelli, Charlie Fry, Ryo Takahashi, Owen Murphy, Kameel Khan. MIDFIELDERS: Rogan McGeorge, Barath Suresh, Cal Goulding, Dante Avian, Jacob Brito. FORWARDS: Tom Youngs, Brad Blumenthal, Archie Macphee.
In State 4 news reports that legendary goalscorer Dave Greening has retired may be premature.
Greening capped a championshipwinning season at Rosebud this year with the State 5 Golden Boot award, the 10th time he’s won league top scorer honours.
He now combines his onfield success with winning gold medals in athletics in masters’ competitions and his fitness, pace and finishing ability continue to be a major weapon in Rosebud’s arsenal.
The coaching staff are keen to see him continue and he is expected to make a decision in the next fortnight.
Another player rumoured to be in Rosebud’s thoughts is young forward Noah Musso who won the 2023 State 5 South best and fairest and league Golden Boot awards with the ’Buds before moving to Peninsula Strikers in the off-season.
But clinching Musso’s signature will be no easy task according to Strikers’ gaffer Scott Morrison.
“Noah will be back with us in preseason and he just wants to see how it pans out and if he will be a regular senior player,” Morrison said.
“I have big plans for him and with Tommy (Wood) going that gives him much more opportunity.
“He came along heaps last year and proved against Hampton East in the last game that he is good enough so I’m excited to see him evolve even more.
“He won’t go to Rosebud mate – he is too ambitious.
“He’s told me that it doesn’t matter what money they throw at him he wants to play as high as he can and test himself.”
Rosebud’s State 4 rival Chelsea has “seven or eight” players in its sights according to head coach Gus Macleod.
“There’s nothing settled yet but all the boys we have been in contact with are from higher leagues,” he said.
Macleod will arrange two preChristmas practice matches and will announce the details next month.
In other news UK-based group Headsafe will send representative Nick Gates to Melbourne in November to conduct a series of seminars, club and school visits to highlight the latest research into the link between repeated head impacts (RHI) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Renowned Melbourne-based development coach Ian Greener is the man to contact for anyone interested in learning about Headsafe’s studies.
“It’s important to note that Headsafe doesn’t want to ban heading rather they want to protect this part of our game by minimising the damage being done mainly in training activities,” Greener said.
In the UK Headsafe works with clubs from the EPL down to grassroots level and its guidelines for coaches and clubs are regarded as world’s best practice in this field.
To register for any of the following free sessions contact Greener at greener_ian@yahoo.com.au indicating which session(s) you wish to attend (or simply to learn more about the visit from Headsafe):

Wednesday 27 November – 7pm Zoom online session
Friday 29 November – 7pm Western Suburbs Soccer Club
Saturday 30 November – 9am Eastern Lions Soccer Club.
