By far the most terrible document published since the War began – perhaps, indeed, the most terrible document…

Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said that he would be working with Frankston Council to “lock in the rest of the funding required for the upgrade so that construction can get underway.” As of 2 November, no business case has been presented to councillors.

THE inaugural youth mayor at council is fighting for Frankston in unexpected ways. 19-year-old Gerard Felipe gets his kicks from more than just serving youth in Frankston, he is also training to defend his title as a national karate champion. “I’ve just recently won the 2018 Japan Karate Association Championship,” Mr Felipe said. “I’m very lucky, because now I’m an eight time national champion.
