recently started helping out in my son’s prep class. For just under an hour every Thursday morning I am surrounded by a diverse, endearing, distracted, vocal, enthusiastic group of more than 20 f veand six-year-olds. They are such a sweet bunch, and I can’t imagine any of these precious little souls languishing in an inadequate orphanage or begging on the streets, but for millions of children around the world, that is their reality.

How wonderful then that we have people in wealthy nations such as our own who are willing to give up their freedom, their money and years of their lives in the hope of giving one of these children a home. Some of these people already have a family, others have tasted the bitter brew of infertility and just long to be called ‘Mum’ or ‘Dad’.

As someone who was blessed with a little

] person in my own image, I know how lucky I am. Every day I am challenged by the younger Pearson’s stubborn intelligence, his passionate tantrums, his inappropriate questions, his obstinate rants. But I wouldn’t be without it.

As parents we wear the pain of delivery, the sleepless nights in those f rst months, the mastitis and compromised core muscles, the terrible twos, and threes and fours, and then the rest of it, like badges of honour.

The agony of wanting to be a parent and not being able to must be immense, so it was with plenty of sadness and a lot of anger that I read Sam Walker’s startling report on the state of inter-country adoption in this country.

How many parents have been let down not just by nature but by bureaucracy? Sam has written an important feature that I urge all MWP readers to take a look at. And then grab your kids and give them an extra big hug.

Never the twain shall meet AN UNFATHOMABLE GOVERNMENT DECISION ON INTER-COUNTRY ADOPTION HAS LEFT PEOPLE ON TWO CONTINENTS SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. WORDS: SAM WALKER

T

hree Sunshine Coast families left devastated by the Federal Government’s decision last year to cancel the intercountry adoption program with Ethiopia are still looking for answers.

They are among 27 families across the nation who had progressed through years of scrutiny and assessment to be approved for adoption and all had f les in Ethiopia at the time of the program’s closure.

The families met with attorney-general Mark Dreyfus in April in the hope the decision would be reversed. But in June, Dreyfus announced his refusal to reinstate the Ethiopian adoption program.

For some couples, this was their last chance at having a family. But for these people with big hearts, their main concern is that children in need are not being provided with loving and caring homes. And they are still asking the Federal Government why.

Little Mountain’s Gemma Pilcher says they are not satisf ed with the reasons they have been given.

A spokesperson for the attorney-general’s department says there is no single reason behind former attorney-general Nicola Roxon’s decision to close the program with Ethiopia.

“The decision was a result of the increasingly unpredictable, challenging and complex nature of the Ethiopian adoption environment, as well as the program’s unique operational requirements,” the spokesperson says.

“At the time of the closure, there were no children referred to the program. The program was not able to accept referrals of children, because it did not have approval from the Tigray

regional government to operate in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.”

A statement from the attorney-general’s department also notes that a suitable community development program would need to have been identif ed.

But Pilcher says this is untrue. “There is documentary evidence that not only were there children referred to the program, but some of them

viewed as a model example and some Ethiopian off cials hoped other countries would use Australia’s program as an example.

She says a regional government approval for the program to operate in Tigray was also in place and a community development program had been signed, agreed and approved by the Australian representative in Ethiopia.

Bronwyn McNamara, another prospective adoptive parent from the Sunshine Coast, has also visited orphanages in Ethiopia and is too devastated to conduct interviews but issued comments through a statement.

“More importantly, children remain in Ethiopia living in orphanages without the opportunity to come to Australia, despite the fact that there are Australian families who desperately want to provide them loving and safe homes,” McNamara says. “Ten children had been matched with prospective adoptive families and those children had been told they were going to be adopted by an Australian family.

“Upon the closure of the program, this promised secure and happy future was cruelly stripped from them.

“This breaks our hearts.”

Pilcher f ghts back tears when she explains her family had been matched with a four-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother. It is believed the

Upon the closure of the program, this promised secure and happy future was cruelly stripped from them. This breaks our hearts had been matched with families and some of those children had been told they had families waiting for them in Australia,” Pilcher says.

In fact, 10 children had been matched with Australian families.

Gaylene Cooper, from Tasmania, is the former president of the Australian African Children’s Aid Support Association (AACASA ) and has a 16-year-old daughter adopted from Ethiopia.

On a visit to see her daughter’s birth family in September, she and the AACASA president spoke to Ethiopian representatives.

“It was through our visits to the orphanage and various other places that we discovered their (the Federal Government’s) deceit,” Cooper says.

“There was no reason, from Ethiopia’s perspective, why the program closed.”

She says the small Australian program was

eight-year-old remained in the orphanage but has recently been assigned to an American family, after a year of uncertainty. She believes the four-year-old is begging on the streets, although it is unclear whether this is a result of the program’s closure or whether her birth mother removed her from the orphanage.

Poverty and a lack of social welfare mean many people in Ethiopia rely on begging to survive and parents can often get more money with a child.

Pilcher and husband Darren have two biological children and one child adopted from Ethiopia.

Adopting from overseas was always part of the Pilcher’s family plan and they have been in the Ethiopian program for about 13 years.

“We felt the best balance for our family was not to have just one adopted child. That’s why when we adopted a single child we went straight back into the process.”

She says research suggests adopting more than one child helps with cultural support, emotional and psychological health and family balance.

“We just don’t understand why, if there were children there, they didn’t just f nish their process.

“It’s quite cruel what’s happened to the children.”

Some may also argue what has happened to these prospective parents is cruel.

They had all been through a strict and onerous process, which took up to 10 years and includes criminal background checks and psychological and character assessments. During this time they had to agree not to pursue any other means of having children.

Eligibility in the program required their agreement to not take part in any other adoption program, not do IVF, not foster children and to ensure they were using contraceptives.

“Since we started the adoption process the laws have changed, but still we have to sign documents to say we won’t try and get pregnant,” Pilcher says.

It is a big decision for any couple desperate to have a family. And it is a demanding process that leaves little room for privacy. “They want to know that you are using contraception and I had to get a witness to remain eligible,” Pilcher says.

But the invasive process and high expectations placed on families have had many other impacts.

Pilcher says they were unable to pursue career opportunities in other states because despite being a federal program, each state has its own process and the

GET

FAST FACTS The inter-country adoption program between Ethiopia and Australia was

closed on June 28, 2012.

The program was in place for

20 years.

During that time more than 660 Ethiopian children were adopted into Australia.

On June 25, attorney-general Mark Dreyfus said the program would not be re-instated.

At the time of closure, 27 Australian families, including three Sunshine Coast families, had met all the stringent requirements and had f les in Ethiopia. It took up to 10 years for some families to reach this stage.

Some families involved in the Ethiopian program are not eligible for other adoption programs.

Those that are eligible and choose to change programs may have to go to the back of the queue and start the process again.

There are no other adoption programs between Australia and Africa.

Australia has inter-country adoption programs with 13 countries but not every state is eligible.

move would put them at the back of the queue. Equally, in some states the process is faster.

With expectations that all children will have their own bedroom, the Pilchers moved from their threebedroom house and built a f ve-bedroom home to accommodate the children they planned to adopt. She says other families were encouraged to buy bigger cars.

“For our children, their whole life they have been waiting for siblings, and every two years the social worker comes and she talks to the kids and she interviews them.”

The Pilchers, like many families, are also heavily involved in Ethiopian culture and development projects in Ethiopia. They had even started learning an Ethiopian language.

For some, the lengthy process combined with the program closure has left them with no other means of having a family. Some are not eligible for other adoption programs. Those who are must enter a new program, which could mean starting from square one.

“They [the government] failed in their duty of care to these families,” Cooper says.

But a statement from the attorney-general’s department says inter-country adoption programs are always subject to change and uncertainty and “there can never be a guarantee of successful adoption”.

However, the families believe the closure of the program breached Australia’s obligations under a long-standing bilateral agreement with Ethiopia, which required the Australian Government to complete all f les ‘in country’ before the program was terminated.

“We need to know why they didn’t honour those f les that were over there,” Cooper says.

But the statement from the attorney-general’s department also notes the bilateral agreement with Ethiopia on inter-country adoption has not been terminated so the requirement to complete adoption procedures in process at the time of closure did not arise.

For the prospective parents, who have immersed their hearts and souls into this African country and fallen in love with the people and the culture, it’s all a matter of semantics and the government’s cold-hearted decision is no comfort. But even more heart-wrenching for them is the knowledge that children who could have a loving family and a secure future in Australia are still living in poverty, without the love and affection of a supportive family. continued over >

FAST FACTS

Playing by the rules:

In 2011-12 there were 333 f nalised adoptions across Australia; the lowest annual number on record and a 78 per cent decline from the 1494 adoptions in 1987-88.

• You can be in only one adoption program.

• The requirements for adoption vary from state to state.

• Moving state can put you at the back of the adoption queue.

• Each country also has its own requirements.

• You are not able to try to have children by any other means while in an adoption program.

Among the 333 adoptions, 45 per cent were inter-country, 17 per cent were local and 39 per cent were ‘known’ child adoptions.

58 per cent of adopted children were aged under f ve.

• Some states, including Queensland, require couples to sign agreements to say they will not try to get pregnant.

86 per cent of inter-country adoptees came from Asia.

• Prospective families are expected to get involved with the culture of the country.

The average time for the approval of an applicant to the placement of a child increased from 37 months in 2007-08 to 56 months in 2011-12.

• Some families feel pressured to buy bigger houses or cars to be able to accommodate the family they eventually hope to have.

• Existing children are subject to questioning from a social worker.

• Prospective parents have to undergo psychological and character assessments and criminal checks.

Federal Government: At the time of the closure there were no children referred to the program.

Families: Prospective families have evidence that 10 children were referred to the program and the process had progressed to the stage that some children had been told they had been matched with families in Australia.

Federal Government: The program was not able to accept referrals of children, because it did not have approval from the Tigray regional government to operate in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.

Families: There was regional government approval for the program to operate in Tigray region.

Federal Government: A community development program (every private orphanage in Addis Ababa is required by the Ethiopian government to provide community assistance) had not been identif ed and agreed.

Families: Received advice from Ethiopia’s local government authorities and the orphanage director that one project had been identif ed and was signed by Australia’s country representative. It had not been signed off by the attorney-general.

The number of Australian children adopted fell by 84 per cent from 1987-88 to 2011-12, while the number of inter-country adoptions fell by 52 per cent in the same period.

Is it time for a new bed?

Bec Bartlett from Domayne Bedding at Maroochydore Homemaker Centre says “Whilst Sealy mattress components are all tested to ensure the highest possible quality and longevity, it is still recommended that consumers consider replacing their mattress every 7 to 10 years”.

1. You need correct support:

even a well-engineered sleep system experiences wear and tear that leads to sagging in the mattress.

2. For the comfort you prefer:

the layers of foam and f bre that upholster the mattress will compact and deteriorate. The comfort your mattress offers after several years’ use is not the same you chose when you initially bought it.

3. Fresh and clean: the human body loses around 500mls of moisture every night during sleep - for two people that means up to 1ltr per night. You can change the sheets and air the blankets, but it’s much more diff cult to keep the mattress clean over time.

4. Don’t let the bedbugs bite:

microscopic organisms surround us, and dustmites are a common house companion. Your mattress can harbour

millions of them, and even with regular cleaning and changing of sheets, it’s impossible to keep them away completely.

5. Innovation matters: bedding manufacturers constantly research and ref ne what makes a good mattress.

New comfort materials, insights into sleeping behaviour and changing lifestyles can mean a better night’s sleep for you.

You sp e third o nd a f your life as leep...

so you should r bed be yo haven ur .

own a queen or double bed, buy a new king size mattress and enjoy the extra room to move.

different it will feel from your mattress at home.

6. More Sleep: research has found that a new mattress can add up to 30 minutes more sleep every night as it can assist with falling asleep sooner and sleeping more deeply.

NEW SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

IMAGE: SHUTTERSTOCK

U

niversity of the Sunshine Coast researchers have f nished the Coast’s f rst comprehensive assessment of sustainability in the region.

The Community Plan Sustainability Indicators Report was prepared by USC’s Sustainability Research Centre for the Sunshine Coast Council.

The report examines 20 indicators of sustainability across the region in 2012.

Senior lecturer and co-ordinator of Sustainability Programs Dr Dana Thomsen says it is an excellent chance for the community to ref ect on the region’s current situation and future goals.

“Examining environmental, social, economic and governance indicators provides a benchmark or regional sustainability,” she says.

“Many positive indicators, such as safety, wellbeing and health highlight the quality of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle.

“However, addressing indicators

requiring action – such as biodiversity – is essential for maintaining these benef ts.”

Co-author and director of USC’s Sustainability Research Centre, Professor Tim Smith, says the report built on an earlier assessment of Australian cities by the Australian Conservation Foundation.

Regular monitoring of the indicators is expected to provide valuable insights into sustainability trends on the Coast.

“I can’t believe it’s so cheap”

Kindy donates PJs, socks Children and families from the Alexandra/Mooloolaba Community Kindergarten have collected pyjamas and socks for children in need on the Coast.

The kindy collected more than 30 pairs of pyjamas and 50 pairs of winter socks and the donation was increased when retail giant Target donated an extra 60 pyjama sets.

The combined donation resulted in more than 90 pairs of pyjamas, which were given to St Vincent de Paul in Maroochydore for distribution to local children in

Children and families from Alexandra/ Mooloolaba Community Kindergarten need of extra warmth.

It is the second year the kindy has organised the event and it is becoming a favourite on the annual calendar.

Mt Ngungun’s upgrade to attract more visitors Mount Ngungun’s popular summit walk was re-opened last week with a new walking track as part of a $155,000 Glass House Mountains National Park upgrade.

National Parks minister Steve Dickson says the upgrade means visitors will be safer and able to enjoy even better views of the region.

The new route is less steep, avoids a rock overhang and separates walkers from climbers and abseilers on the lower cliffs.

“Mt Ngungun already welcomes around 32,000 visitors a year and the track realignment … will ensure even more people experience the spectacular views of the Glass house Mountain peaks,” Dickson says.

Combatting loneliness

Beware of bogus council letter

A unique visitation service designed to help people overcome loneliness was launched on the Sunshine Coast on Wednesday.

Social Visitor aims to combat the effects of social isolation, an increasing problem as a result of our modern lifestyles.

Social Visitor managing director Mia Lacy says a change in lifestyle that led people to move away from their homes to chase the economic dream has caused the traditional family model to fragment.

“One in f ve Australians over the age of 65 are lonely,” she says.

Social Visitor is a fee-for-service business enabling concerned friends and relatives to pay for a person to make regular social visits to someone who may be lonely or isolated.

“This service is not meant to displace or replace any of the fantastic work done in aged care facilities,” Lacy says.

It is meant to complement those services and enrich the lives of people who have lost their social

Coast residents are being warned of a possible scam involving a bogus council letter which has been circulated in the region.

An example of a letter addressed ‘to the occupier’ was found in an Alexandra headland residential letterbox last week and handed into the council.

The letter advised of council off cers undertaking routine property

inspections and indicates the property is a “severe f re danger” and if not rectif ed council’s off cers will address the issue “at a cost to you”.

Any resident who is, or has been, approached by a person claiming to be a council off cer under these circumstances should contact police and the council immediately.

Call Policelink on 131 444 or the council on 5475 7272.

Veteran JP acknowledged networks through family moving away or through a lack of transport or mobility.

Lacy, who is a member of the National Task Force for Social Inclusion, urges people to be aware of the needs of others and be aware of the difference individuals can make.

She advocates using the Three Social Steps: ring a relative; have a cup of tea or coffee with someone; speak to someone – your attention is the most valuable thing you can offer.

A Probus Club of Kawana Waters member and Club Kawana lawn bowler, Birkbeck was f rst appointed as a JP while working as an accountant in Rockhampton and has served the Sunshine Coast community for 17 years.

Kawana MP Jarrod Bleijie commended Birkbeck for the many hundreds of hours he had given to the community and presented him with a gold certif cate recognising his commitment.

Micro/Small Business Woman of the year was Vicki Taylor, Red Hot Chilli Pepper Q. Tell us about your business.

A. Red Hot Chilli Pepper is a culinary herbs, spices and everything chilli boutique shop based in Caloundra. Through spice-blend classes, people can learn about what spices are, where they come from and how to use them in day-to-day cooking.

There is also a small tea-bar in the shop which is a fantastic place to come and relax while enticing your senses. And I’m always up for a chat.

Q. What did winning the award last year mean to you?

A. Winning the award made me realise that I must be doing something right with my business and what I can offer people. For me it’s about sharing knowledge, helping people and giving back to the community in some way.

Receiving an award for that is very humbling.

Q. How has it helped your business and prof le in the past 12 months?

A. Winning the award is a great business boost. It helped more people discover my business, which in turn allowed me to help more

people spice up their meals and help people get their mojo back in the kitchen. I have collaborated with two local food businesses where my spices were used in their products so that was exciting, as I love partnering with other businesses for a win-win outcome.

I have also had some wonderful opportunities talking on the radio about spices and I’ve done some cooking demonstrations at various places around the Coast. Basically I’m having a whole heap of fun doing what I do.

Q. What does the future hold?

A. I’m about to start on another project with another business in Caloundra and I’m pretty excited about that, and I’ve just been asked to be a regular guest speaker for a food program with a Brisbane radio station.

I’m in the process of aff liating both the business and myself with a local charity, which is something I have been wanting to do for some time. I would also like to branch out and offer cooking classes, so I’m currently looking at the logistics of that.

Long term, I would love to have a small Red Hot Chilli Pepper cafe/ tapas bar where we would serve food like dahls, tagines and tapas.

Q. Any advice for budding SCBW and this year’s nominees?

A. Go with the f ow and just be yourself. Enjoy the experience and get to know other business women to see what great opportunities you can do together.

Q. Tell us about your business.

A. At Coast to Coast Media we publish a national real estate magazine. The magazine is on sale right across the country and is primarily for private sellers of businesses and properties.

Q. What did winning the award last year mean to you?

A. Winning the award was a huge sense of achievement. The title gave me a real presence in the business community on the Sunshine Coast and allowed me to learn some great business tips from some amazing people.

I also won the year I turned 30, which made the milestone even more special.

Q. How has it helped your business and prof le in the past 12 months?

A. As we are a national publication, it is hard to measure a direct impact to my business from the awards. However, the support and encouragement I have received from everyone around me has been invaluable.

Q. What does the future hold?

A. The sky’s the limit. Last year was a tough year in business and winning my award allowed me to get through it with a smile on my face. Coast to Coast Media has come out the other side now and is moving forward in leaps and bounds.

As for me, maybe the pitter patter of little feet. We will wait and see.

Q. Any advice for budding SCBW and this year’s nominees?

A. Enjoy the journey – the opportunities that follow are amazing. Just being nominated proves you are a person that people already respect in business.

QLD CORALS LEAD TO SUPER SUNSCREEN

S

cientists have developed a new super sunscreen that mimics the way Great Barrier Reef corals protect themselves from UV light.

CSIRO scientists have spent the past two years harnessing the way the reefs’ corals have survived Queensland’s harsh sun for millions of years in shallow waters.

They have discovered what they call new UV f lters that are resistant to UVA and UVB rays and have added these coral properties in a cream emulsion.

CSIRO scientist Dr Mark York

says a safe and effective sunscreen for human use has been developed.

“The f lters are clear in colour, virtually odourless and very stable, which makes them easy to be incorporated into any emulsion,” he says.

The sunscreen is expected to be on the global market within f ve years.

The research builds on work by scientists at the Australian Institute of Marine Science who were the f rst to discover the natural sun screening ability of the reef’s corals.

AAP

Queensland’s transport minister has defended his approval of the use of Segways in Queensland amid claims he ignored a string of safety warnings.

Queensland is the f rst state to approve the personal mobility vehicles, which are now allowed to hit footpaths and bikeways.

The Courier-Mail reports documents obtained under Right To Information shows safety concerns were raised by police, the National Transport Commission and transport department off cials. They were all ignored, the paper says.

But Transport Minister Scott Emerson says the warnings were taken on board and informed the government’s safety strategy.

“That’s why we announced the other week the safety measures we are putting place that are much tougher than in other parts of the world where Segways are widely used,” he told ABC radio this week.

He said measures included bans

on people under 12 using Segways.

“We looked to a balanced approach,” he said.

Concerns raised included the use of Segways on footpaths that are only marginally wider, poor manoeuvrability in wet weather, wide turning circles and insurance issues.

Segway riders will be required to wear a helmet and aren’t allowed to be under the inf uence of drugs or alcohol.

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports.

It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

NO EXCUSES FOR SEX ADDICTS

SAN ANTONIO – A two-headed turtle born last month at the San Antonio Zoo has become so popular that she has her own Facebook page.

Zoo off cials say the turtle, named Thelma and Louise, has been doing well.

Spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike says the turtle eats and swims, and added that the two heads – named Louise Left and Thelma Right – get along.

The Facebook page shows photos of the quirky reptile and

The turtle hatched June 18.

The animal is on display at the zoo’s Friedrich Aquarium.

LOS ANGELES – It’s bad news for Tiger Woods, Russell Brand and others who blame their wild behaviour on sex addiction.

A new study by brain researchers at the University of California Los Angeles suggests that sex addiction is not a real disorder.

The study, published in the scientif c journal Socioaffective Neuroscience and Psychology, examined the neural responses to pornography of 39 men and 13 women who reported having diff culty controlling their desires.

The study found that the neural responses were different to the way drug addicts’ brains respond to images of drugs.

“Their brains did not respond to the images like other addicts to their drug of addiction,” study author Dr Nicole Prause told Psychology Today.

“If our study is replicated, these f ndings would represent a major challenge to existing theories of sex ‘addiction’.”

WASHINGTON – Pope Francis’ remarks that he will not “judge” homosexuals has been positive received by liberal groups in the US. The pontiff, who made his comments as he f ew back to Rome from Brazil, appeared to be more conciliatory towards homosexuals than his predecessor Benedict XVI. “If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?” the Pope asked.

Prominent US gay rights group the Human Rights Campaign said on Monday, while his “words do not ref ect a shift in Church policy, they represent a signif cant change in tone”.

sing instalment warrants via a self-managed super fund (SMSF) to buy real property is becoming a popular strategy for investors.

So, what is an instalment warrant?

Put simply, it is an instalment payment strategy which allows you to gain exposure to shares (and other investments) by making a part payment up front and delaying an optional f nal payment until a later date. This allows you to buy shares and property for a fraction of the

current price, while receiving the benef ts of capital growth, dividends, rent and/or franking credits.

In relation to a super fund using instalment warrants to buy an asset such as real property, a simple way of explaining the transaction is: • The SMSF organises to borrow money from a lender who may be an independent third party but this is not a requirement. Therefore the lender can be an individual or other related third party, such as a company.

• The borrowed funds and an initial deposit provided by the SMSF are placed into a specif cally created trust.

This is the initial instalment payment.

• The trust will then purchase the investment, which is effectively owned for the benef t of the fund.

• As the benef cial owner of the asset held in this trust, the SMSF will benef t from any income produced by the asset, such as dividends or rent.

• Once the loan is repaid and the arrangement comes to an end, the ownership of the asset will pass from the trust into the SMSF. The strategy can provide great upside to investors and can be used to great effect. However, purchasing the wrong asset can result in a non-complying SMSF, signif cant expenses and losses. For those looking to participate in an instalment warrant arrangement via an SMSF, some basic rules to follow include: • Do not borrow too much (have a low loan-to-value ratio).

• Ensure the tenant is f nancially sound and is able to meet the obligations.

• Be able to contribute additional cash to super should cash f ow within the fund not meet the repayment obligations.

• Buy well. If you overpay for the asset your ability to make a prof t is greatly reduced.

• Finally, your goal is to own the asset outright – repay the debt.

We advise investors to fully contemplate the downside risks of this type of transaction and seek a second opinion. We would not like to see a sensible structure removed by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission because of the reckless acts of a few.

Hell in a pill SYNTHETIC DRUG USE IN AUSTRALIA IS FAST BECOMING A MAJOR NATIONAL HEALTH ISSUE. WORDS: AAP & MWP

T

It was fun at f rst but after a rollercoaster of emotions I was left with some pretty intense anxiety and panic attacks

he lobby group for synthetic drug retailers says artif cial highs are no stronger than two glasses of wine, despite user reports of panic attacks.

The Eros Association’s public relations campaign comes only a month after Sydney teenager Henry Kwan jumped to his death from the third f oor of his home under the effects of an LSD-like substance bought online by a high school friend.

The 17-year-old North Shore schoolboy’s death prompted the NSW Government to extend its interim ban on artif cial hallucinogens, and put pressure on the Federal Government to introduce a permanent ban.

A month before the tragedy, Queensland became the f rst jurisdiction in Australia to ban any synthetic that mimicked the effects of an illicit drug.

Last week Eros described synthetic drugs as a “social tonic”, releasing a survey of its retail members. “They mostly have a mild psychoactive effect which is generally one where people do not lose control of their personality or consciousness,” it said.

It quoted anecdotal evidence estimating that three-quarters of legal products sold produced a “psychoactive effect that is no stronger or more intense than a couple of glasses of wine”.

But a 25-year-old Brisbane professional says he

will never try legal synthetic marijuana again, after a bad experience with a product known as ‘incense’, which a mate bought from a sex shop.

“The high didn’t last as long as actual marijuana but it was far more intense,” he says. “It was fun at f rst but after a rollercoaster of emotions I was left with some pretty intense anxiety and panic attacks.

It might be f ne for some but it certainly didn’t sit well with me.”

Eros chief executive Fiona Patten says Henry Kwan’s death was not connected to legal synthetic highs. But she declines to guarantee products sold legally are safe. Products such as ‘kronic’, ‘skunk’ and ‘black widow’ continue to be sold. “Without regulation, it’s very hard to give any guarantee,” she says.

The product Kwan took was not the kind sold legally at Australian adult shops. “That substance was actually illegal, almost completely around Australia,” Patten says. “It was not bought at a retail level. It was bought from a Chinese website offshore and delivered from overseas.”

Brisbane-based criminal solicitor Patrick Quinn, from Creevey Russell Lawyers, says Queensland’s three-month-old amendment to existing drug laws, which was actually f agged by the previous Labor government, could mean young people will be jailed for possessing synthetic drugs. “With that comes the possibility of prison, not just monetary penalty,” he says, adding the legal changes were yet to be tested in a courtroom.

k c a l b ‘ d n a ’ k n u k s ‘ , ’ c i ‘kron d l o s e b o t e u n i t n o c ’ w o d wi Eros says the average age of synthetic drug users is 33 in metropolitan areas and two years older in the regions.

The problems of synthetic drugs is not an issue limited to this country. According to the United Nations Off ce on Drugs and Crime’s United National World Drug Report 2013: “The use of new psychoactive substances (NPS), in other words, psychoactive substances not under international control that pose a health threat, has grown rapidly over the past decade, in contrast to the prevalence rates for the use of internationally controlled drugs, which seem generally to have stabilised in the same time period.”

The report goes on to say well-known examples of NPS include synthetic cannabinoids contained in various herbal mixtures, piperazines, products sold as ‘bath salts’ and a range of phenethylamines.

“Ketamine was among the f rst NPS to appear,” says the report. “Its abuse was f rst recognised in North America at the beginning of the 1980s. It became a noticeable phenomenon in Europe in the 1990s, before spreading extensively in Asia and, to a lesser extent, in South America and Southern Africa.

“NPS belonging to the phenethylamine family appeared in the market in the 1990s and substances belonging to the piperazine family at the beginning of the 2000s. From 2004 onwards, synthetic cannabinoids such as ‘Spice’ appeared in the market, followed by synthetic cathinones and other emerging groups of NPS.”

Booze and pot still dominate

Legal doesn’t mean safe

While there is undoubtedly growth in synthetic drug use, for drug counsellors and professionals working with addiction, it’s alcohol and cannabis that are the main causes of intervention. According to the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare, approximately 150,500 closed-treatment episodes for alcohol and other drug use were provided in Australia in 2010-2011, which is an increase of almost 5000 on the previous year’s f gures. For almost half of these episodes, the principal drug concerned was alcohol, while cannabis was the second most common principal drug of concern.

According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, “‘Legal highs’ is an umbrella term for unregulated (new) psychoactive substances or products intended to mimic the effects of controlled drugs. The term encompasses a wide range of synthetic and/or plantderived substances and products, which are offered as ‘legal highs’, ‘research chemicals’, ‘party pills’, and ‘herbal highs’. They are frequently sold via the internet or in ‘smart shops’ or ‘head shops’ and in some cases are intentionally mislabelled, with purported ingredients differing from the actual composition.”

Australia’s appetite for synthetic drugs on the rise Australian authorities identif ed 33 NPS during the f rst six months of 2012. This was fewer than the US or Canada, similar to the numbers reported by authorities in the UK, but a lot more than the 15 identif ed by New Zealand authorities. The Australian Crime Commission reports that drug users in this country take a range of substitutes for amphetamine-type stimulants, including mephedrone and many other synthetic drugs. The authorities identif ed 500 different ‘legal highs’, advertised mostly through overseas stores.

T

here was a time when a $100,000 Land Rover would have been unthinkable.

I don’t mean back in the day when the very f rst Land Rovers had steel dashboards and rubbercovered f oors.

After all, the grand old British brand has been around since 1948.

But it’s a measure of how far Land Rover has raised the values and expectation of its brand that, these days, the notion of a Land Rover with a f ve-f gure price tag is not out of the ordinary.

Sure, you can still get into one for about $70,000 for the entry-level TDV6 – right up to $130,000 for the

f agship V8 version. But most Land Rover Discovery buyers these days are happy to fork out $100-grand plus for the latest combination of rugged, go-anywhere dynamics and an upmarket, leather-and-polished timber cabin.

<from previous page a modest update in recent months – partly cosmetic and partly to incorporate some features previously found in its Jaguar and Range Rover cousins, including a new engine and transmission package plus some interior ref nements.

We tested the Discovery 4 in mid-range spec – the 3.0 SDV6 HSE (3-litre twin-turbo-diesel, luxury f t-out). That vehicle comes with a starting price of $95,900, although ours came with another $10-grand worth of extras including the signature Black Pack now being offered on this model.

Our test machine was an intimidating looking thing – black wheels, black door handles, grille and breather vents – with window surrounds and even the Land Rover lettering f nished in black. Mr T would love this car.

The $5170 Black Pack was complemented by $3600 worth of metallic paint and an $850 digital radio tuner, although further options, including a premium leather pack and a Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio, can push the price tag even higher.

A new eight-speed transmission is the major mechanical upgrade for this latest Discovery 4 and it couples beautifully with the creamy, turbine-like power of the sequential twin-turbo diesel, which was introduced a year or so ago.

In the entry-level TDV6 model, the previous 2.7-litre turbo-diesel has been replaced by a tuneddown, 155-kilowatt version of this new three-litre

oil-burner. Those extra kilowatts are noticeable in the SDV6, though – it will rumble to cruising speed in a smart 9.3 seconds and in sports mode, it gives the big machine a surprisingly sprightly demeanour.

Gear-change paddles on the steering wheel are standard. The latest in fuel-injection technology means the bulk of this engine’s thunderous 600 Newton metres of torque can be accessed within 500 milliseconds of idle, meaning those turbos can spool up to respond in a heartbeat.

Maximum grunt comes at 2000 revs per minute, while its full 185 kilowatts become available at 4000 revs per minute. That makes this a tremendously f exible engine capable of chugging through deep mud or accelerating for highway, overtaking with equal effect. It’s also surprisingly quick off the mark for such a big thing (almost three tonnes).

Even though our test was conducted in mostly urban-style conditions, the Discovery still produced a modest thirst of 11.1 litres per 100 kilometres – impressive for such a big machine in a somewhat unnatural environment. Mind you, many of these machines will spend the bulk of their days chugging between the upmarket suburbs and private school drop-off zones, so it’s a good thing the Discovery can do so in relatively frugal fashion.

If you decide to head off-road, though, the Terrain Response system has been further tweaked to ensure you get there and back without incident.

The system has settings for general driving, grass,

gravel, mud and ruts, sand and rock-crawling. That is complemented by off-road assistance, including Gradient Acceleration Control, which stops you accidentally prodding the accelerator too hard when on steep slopes; and even an off-road guidance function on its satellite navigation system.

Put it all together and the Discovery remains one of the most capable and versatile machines around.

While not quite reaching the plush standards of its new Range Rover sibling, the interior of the Discovery is more cossetting than ever, with a choice of hand-stitched Windsor premium leather f nishes, ebony dash fascia and door trim f nishes as well as electric seats, windows and mirrors. All in all, a rather grand place to be. $100-grand, to be exact.

Our finest selection for your peace of mind.

MORE BUYERS THAN SELLERS Print marketing performs

Outstanding result for vendors

Concerns about the future of print marketing are well and truly premature. For an auction in Pakee Street in Alexandra Headland the marketing produced 61 inspections prior to auction, and seven registered bidders on the day. While the internet had over 580 hits but only 12 actual enquiries and seven physical inspections, MWP delivered 49 groups to the home.

The result was a sale well over reserve. It’s very clear that active buyers are reading MWP.

112 Mountain Creek Road, Buderim was marketed in MWP, achieved 45 groups through open homes resulting in three registered bidders and sold one day post auction. A great result for the vendors and some very happy new owners. Thanks MWP – you’ve done it again.

Sold prior to auction 1A Mountain Ridge Crescent, Buderim sold in two weeks prior to auction with 27 inspections coming from MWP marketing program. This is a fantastic result!

Craig Porter, Next Property Group

Better than the net

At 18 Whitecross Road, Bli Bli we didn’t even make it to auction, selling unconditionally prior for $630,000. The buyers read the ad that morning in MWP and looked at only one property, before buying in Bli Bli. Thanks to MWP, great result for all concerned.

Steve Perry, Acreage Specialist RE/MAX Outstanding Agents

We experienced a massive increase in inspections from our MWP campaign. At 7 Parkview Terrace, Buderim we ran a fourweek campaign in MWP. The f rst weekend was internet only and we had just four inspections, the second weekend we had a half-page ad in MWP and had 21 inspections over two days.

With advertisements for three consecutive weeks, we then saw a total of 52 inspections. The seller has been extremely pleased with the results of the marketing campaign.

A quick result!

Sold, sold, sold On a roll with MWP Momentum built over a four-week campaign to SOLD! We recently auctioned two units in Mooloolaba International with a focus on promotion through MWP. The interest levels built over the four weeks and we sold both properties within a week of the auction day.

For 72 Baayna Street, Wurtulla we had a four-week marketing campaign in MWP, with 21 inspections during open homes and one conditional offer BEFORE auction day. On the day we had four registered bidders with 20 bids received and it sold under the hammer. Thank you MWP. Andy Camm RE/MAX Property Services

If you’re thinking about selling, now is the time – see below for recent success stories

Great result

It’s all about numbers

75 per cent of potential buyers came from MWP for 285 Diddillibah Road, Diddillibah, which sold under the hammer, with 30 groups through and four registered bidders. It was a fantastic result, selling for $565,000.

To achieve a premium result when selling, you need to attract all the prospective buyers to create competition. A recent four-week campaign in both print and the internet produced 29 group inspections. MWP produced 21 of those buyers, three written offers and the successful purchaser. The result was a record sale in the street and the sellers were very happy. MWP outperforms time and again.

Sold the day after auction Our auction of 6 Dominica Place, Kawana Island on Saturday July 27 resulted in 23 people attending with the property successfully selling straight after the auction.

Thanks MWP A great marketing strategy equals a great result for vendors. 37 Brentwood Avenue, Mooloolaba achieved more than 41 inspections with f ve written contracts and sold prior to auction in just 23 days. Thanks MWP.

Tank girl IF YOU WANT A TRULY UNIQUE HOME, YOU HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE. WORDS: PETRINA BERRY, AAP IMAGES: AAP

T

wenty years ago Gail Babbage swapped a home she owned outright for debt and an empty water tower.

Her plan was to convert the defunct concrete tank in the inner Brisbane suburb of Balmoral into a home for her family.

Her partner at the time thought it was a “pipe dream” and her parents were equally doubtful.

“They couldn’t really understand it to begin with,” Babbage says. “My parents said, ‘I think you’re going to pour money from the top and it’s just going to drip out the bottom (of the water tank).’”

For Babbage, the sale of the 1940s-era tank was serendipitous.

One evening, she stared at the elevated fortress from the deck of her Bulimba cottage several kilometres away, wondering what would happen to it and thinking she’d like to live in it.

Several months later an article appeared in her state paper saying it was up for sale.

It talked about the location and suggested knocking down the tank, which is 11 metres tall and 22 metres in diameter. Removing it, though, would cost more than the value of the land.

Babbage and architectural f rm Riddel, which she directed at the time, was one of six bidders and the only one that sought to build a home in the tank.

“If you knocked the tank down you could build only to 8.5 metres, throwing away all those views,” she says.

What Babbage saw was a small castle on a hill with 360-degree vistas that would never be built out.

Clad in mountaineering gear, she and

The Balmoral water tower in its original form, before being renovated by Gail Babbage. Built in 1939, the tower was converted to a home after the local council put it up for sale in 1993.

architect Robert Riddel opened the roof trapdoor and climbed down into the dark abyss during their f rst inspection.

“There was a tiny little bit of light. We had no idea which direction we were facing,” she said.

Riddel described it as a medieval experience and when his eyes adjusted, he saw a single classical concrete column that would become a centrepiece of his grand design.

“It was a moving experience and one’s immediate thought was how to use it and how to make it a home,” he wrote later.

The plans the f rm drew won over the Brisbane City Council and the tower was f nally Babbage’s.

In its former life the tank supplied water to the village of Bulimba for more than 30 years

and then sat unused for about 20 years.

With walls up to more than a metre thick, temperatures sit around 25 degrees all year round.

But punching more than a dozen windows and doors through thick concrete reinforced by solid ropes of crisscrossing steel was a challenge.

“I would call a company to come out and talk about cutting holes into the tank and they would drive up, take one look and keep on driving,” Babbage says.

Eventually contractors brave enough to take on the task were found.

“It took two muscle-bound solid men to break through the wall at a time,” she says.

“There would be these really huge blokes, one would hold the jack hammer and the other one M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

would be holding his mate pushing him into the wall while standing on scaffolding.

“It was so tough and that went on for three months.”

The costs of creating the openings, including the garage entry, were considerable; but the result was worth it.

About six metres high, a doughnut-shaped f oor overlooking an atrium was built. The f uid design has a kitchen f owing into a patio facing north, which is where the largest openings were built, taking in views of a cruise ship terminal and the Gateway Motorway. Rooms open off this piazza area in a circular pattern, including four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Between the bedrooms is a living area with a f replace.

“It was like a jigsaw. Everything we put in just f tted like a glove because the workmanship from 1939 was so perfect,” Babbage says.

Below the main bedroom is a study room linked by a staircase but the simple design ensured the

main living areas were on one f oor.

The f oor of the tank became more than just a garage and laundry – its ample space has hosted many parties and the concrete walls, left untouched, became perfect backdrops to project movies and photos.

As for the single column, during rainy days a cascade of water falls through an open lantern roof top, down the column and disappears down a drain, creating a unique water feature.

The f nancial and emotional gamble Babbage took all those years ago paid off. The property is believed to be the only water tower home in Australia and among only a few in the world. But with the children grown up and having f own the nest, Babbage has put it up for sale for the f rst time.

She plans to return to country NSW to be near her parents but admits it will be diff cult living in a normal house again.

“I think I’ll have to f nd a silo or shearing shed,” she says.

The basement section of Babbage’s water tower home houses a laundry and garage, but has also hosted plenty of parties. The striking property, which features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and a main living area with fireplace, is now on the market.

ANOTHER AWARD FOR LOCAL BUILDER Ryan Designer Homes added to its trophy cabinet at the recent Master Builders Awards.

S

unshine Coast building company Ryan Designer Homes has proven a winner on narrow blocks, taking out the award for best low-rise multi-residential town home at the 2013 Master Builders Awards late last month.

The judges were impressed by the design and construction of two townhouses at 36 Sunrise

Michael Knights Realty Pty Ltd

Drive, in the new Sunshine Cove precinct at Maroochydore. Pat and Petrina Ryan opted for a blend of minimalist and resort-style plantation architecture for the two properties, incorporating a range of unique materials including artif cial lawn on the roofs. Designed by architect Frank Raadshelders, the homes ref ect the coastal

lifestyle by capturing sea breezes and plenty of natural sunlight.

The award is Ryan Designer Homes’ 26th such accolade since 2009. The Ryans say they are excited to now be working on a new range of homes designed for small lots and priced from $350,000.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 Bossy behaviour will attract strong reactions from others so try to slip into peacemaking mode. Positive Venus/Mars aspects help you deal with disagreements in a more diplomatic way.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Get out and about in your local community this weekend. Communicating with people from a wide range of backgrounds will feed your desire for variety and mental stimulation.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 You may temporarily lose your momentum, and question your goals and aspirations. Keep going, Gemini – the dreams you dream now will manifest later on. Just be patient.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 You’ll feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster this weekend. There are plenty of challenges to tackle, and you’ll manage best if you persuade others to work with you rather than against you.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Today’s stars will increase your levels of frustration – and your control-freak tendencies. Things won’t run according to your grand plans, so try to take things as they come.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 You’ve got your idea of how the weekend should progress but that’s likely to clash with the plans of others – especially children and teenagers. Conflict is likely unless you are more flexible.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 You may be called on to calm troubled waters – or cool fiery tempers – at home or work. Plus powerful Pluto sends a stumbling block your way, to test how badly you want something.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 If you try to convert others to your point of view – and do so in a forceful manner – you’ll meet with resistance from all directions.

Try fixing problems, rather than creating them.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Many people will be on the defensive but, if you steer clear of controversial subjects, you’ll get through the weekend in one piece!

Avoid making decisions based on passing emotions.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Expect intense communication with others, as tricky transits trigger emotional outbursts and power games. The more you try to control others, the more they will resist.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Tricky Uranus aspects will rev up your restless and reckless nature, as you shake things up and show your contrary side. If you must be a rebel, try to be one with a worthy cause.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Saturday should be a super day as positive moon/ Neptune aspects boost your creativity; stimulate your spiritual side; and help you tune into the wisdom of your inner voice.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

It’s on again! And I don’t mean the Ashes! God we don’t need to see that! Waves baby, and offshore all weekend is the current prediction. So don’t lose sleep watching the Australian team get slaughtered. Get to bed early with a good book or with someone who has read one and hit it early. It is an ESE swell direction so the points will be f ring, as will good banks everywhere. If you have a boat, hit the island as it should be smoking. If you are a bit overweight like my mate Flako, maybe lay off the rum Friday night and be rewarded. If you are training for Tough Mudder and your body refuses to co-operate, hit the anti-inf ammatories. Damn, oh to be a young grom. Remember, once ya dead, ya dead! Woo hoo. Oh and if you have the f u, bummer dude!

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Bream are making up the bulk of the catches on a mixture of yabbies, fowl gut and mullet f llet with the Maroochy Bar and Goat Island prime spots in the Maroochy River. Chopper tailor and some trevally are in deeper channels at night in the Mooloolah and Maroochy rivers.

SURF: Catch tailor at dusk and dawn along North Shore and along most beaches using baby blue pilchards and larger WA pillies. Sea bream are feeding with the tailor at Pincushion and Mudjimba where prawn and fowl gut produce better quality.

OFFSHORE: When conditions allow, pearl perch, squire, snapper and red emperor are at the Gneerings using squid and pillies. Try the Barwon Banks for snapper, pearlies and parrot. Jigging at the Blinker should produce a mixed array of reef f sh including cobia and school mackeral.

FRESHWATER: The cooler conditions have slowed down most local impoundments with live worms and shrimps working better than f ies or lures. Borumba f red early in the week for bass and golden perch, but then slowed down in the last couple of days.
