AGENDA

Bracing for an unpredictable

flu season After two winters of virtually no influenza in the community, experts are concerned that low flu immunity in a world living with COVID will make for an uncertain season. WORDS: Candice Holznagel.

D

octors say Coast residents could be in for a health shock this winter as the flu makes a dreaded return after being virtually non-existent for two years.

Laboratory statistics reveal there have been zero confirmed cases of influenza on the Sunshine Coast to March 20 this year.

Last year, there were just 23 cases in the entire year compared with some 5463 cases in the pre-pandemic period of 2019. This almost complete absence of the virus the past two years means many residents – in particular babies, toddlers and the elderly – may have significantly reduced immunity.

And with the coronavirus still doing the rounds, people could pick up both illnesses – dubbed ‘flurona’ – leading to an unpredictable flu season.

An expert in outbreaks response, Chris Maher, told Sunshine Coast News it is difficult to anticipate the impact of a dual infection, but it is likely that it will “not be good”.

“With control measures for COVID being reduced, and higher levels of movement and human contact, the

possibility is there that influenza virus could move in the community much more easily than has been possible in the past two years,” he says. “Not many people have had a boosting of their immunity against flu by being infected with flu virus over that time, so there may be immunity gaps in the community that could make it easier for the virus to spread.”

However, some experts are now saying that a surge in flu could possibly be delayed until 2023, based on the recent experience of the northern hemisphere.

Recently Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced restrictions would be eased further from April 14, allowing non-vaccinated people to attend nearly all venues – pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants, theme parks, casinos and cinemas, weddings, showgrounds, galleries, libraries, museums and stadiums.

But Mr Maher says governmentenforced lockdowns or tougher restrictions could be reintroduced.

“I think that depends on how bad transmission of both viruses is during the winter season, and whether or not there is a

lot of serious illness and a major impact on our health system,” he says.

“Social restrictions have clearly had a role in temporarily helping to limit or slow down the spread of COVID in different settings, and in Australia they have in general worked very well.

“While I’m not in the position to have to plan for the complexities of preparing Queensland for the coming winter, I think that state health departments have been well exposed to the lessons of COVID and I would expect that they are planning for the contingency that the winter season is a bad one for both influenza and COVID.” The federal government is gearing up for the expected spike in COVID and influenza infections, earmarking $6 billion in its budget for a winter response plan.

Health experts have continued to warn that more transmissible or severe variants of COVID-19 could also emerge.

Mr Maher is a senior specialist adviser in health emergencies for Noosa-based Respond Global, which specialises in health crisis management. He was the senior adviser to the Director-General of the WHO

in Geneva. Prior to this, he worked on the frontline of polio eradication and immunisation program management and was appointed as the chief scientist and advisor to the global program in 2012.

He expects to see a continued strong emphasis on both influenza and COVID vaccination. “We’ve seen with Omicron that vaccination is not a perfect control measure, but it is very good at reducing individual risk and it does impact on viral transmission, so it has to be considered as the best intervention we have for helping us to deal with COVID in the medium to long term.

“Vaccination against influenza is also critical. Getting the composition of the vaccines right from year to year is difficult, but something is always better than nothing and vaccines can really help limit the impact of seasonal influenza.”

Dr Rod McClure from the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service says the best protection against influenza for people aged six months and older is well-timed vaccination.

“Ideally, influenza vaccination should occur before the start of each influenza season. We generally see increased influenza circulation from June. This year may be different given the co-circulation of the COVID-19 virus, the return of international travel and the recent years of very little influenza circulation.

“Similarly, the best protection against COVID-19 is being up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, including boosters.”

An additional winter COVID-19 dose, at least four months after a booster or confirmed infection, is now recommended for groups at highest risk of severe disease, including people aged 65 years and older, immunocompromised people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and older.

FAST FACTS

The world’s smallest shadow Whether you’re a professional photographer or not, you’ll probably be impressed by the photorelated feat accomplished by a team at Australia’s Griffith University in 2012. Using an electrical field to suspend a charged atom in a vacuum chamber, the team shot a laser beam at the atom and took a photo of the shadow it produced.

While atoms have been photographed before, their shadows have not, making this accomplishment unprecedented.

Do you remember?

Did you know?

Upon going deaf, Ludwig van Beethoven discovered that if he bit onto a metal pole that connected to the piano he was playing, he could hear almost perfectly well. This process is called bone conduction, and while technology has evolved, the science is the same: vibrations are transferred from the conductive metal into our bones. When this happens, our ears pick up the signal with no sound distortion.

The world met the Video Home System (VHS), and the video cassette recorders that brought them to life in 1977. In one of the greatest rivalries in the history of technology, VHS would eventually be the death knell for Sony’s rival Betamax. However, the VCR and VHS tape were largely rendered obsolete by the turn of the millennium, and The Washington Post officially wrote their obituary on August 28, 2005.

The legacy continues For the Sunshine Coast’s surfing community the Easter long weekend means one thing – time to celebrate at the region’s oldest surfing competition, the Pa & Ma Bendall Memorial Surfing Contest. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

t is the contest that for nearly five decades has been bringing the heart of the local surfing community together to celebrate a truly special Sunshine Coast legacy.

Now in its 48th year, the Pa & Ma Bendall Memorial Surfing Contest will take place again this Easter long weekend, highlighting the best in board riding.

Attracting stars of the surf and highlighting incredible young local talent, it has been a springboard for many moving into the professional ranks, with past winners including Australian and world champions.

It also makes a significant contribution to the community of Caloundra, helping raise the region’s profile through international publicity.

The competition is believed to be the second-longest-running surfing competition in Australia, behind the iconic Bells Beach Surf Classic.

Named after legendary surfing identities Charles and Marjorie Bendall, it is organised by the WindanSea Boardriders club. Club president Terry Landsberg says it recognises and respects Caloundra’s surfing community and history.

“Events like this bring the community, and most importantly the surfing community, together,” he tells My Weekly Preview.

“We always think of it as a feel-good event that showcases surfing and respects the wonderful work Ma and Pa did in encouraging the younger surfers in the Caloundra region.

“This event really showcases the talent and it is a lovely weekend when a lot of friends and families of the surfing community have the chance to catch up.”

Mr Landsberg says 2022’s contest will offer equal prize money for the men’s and women’s divisions and attract the biggest local names on the surfing scene, including previous winners Mitch Parkinson and Taj Stokes.

“Taj was the youngest ever winner of the open men’s division in 2018.

“We have Holly Williams competing in the open women’s. She recently qualified for the [World Surf League] Women’s Challenger Series too, which is an incredible achievement for a Sunshine Coast surfer.”

Mr Landsberg says the competition is set to become a springboard for creating local talent ahead of the 2032 Olympic Games.

One such rising star is under-14 Queensland state champion Hunter Andersson, who at just 12 years old is showing Olympic potential.

“Now that surfing is an Olympic sport, it is a great building block to hopefully see some representation from the Sunshine Coast” The WindanSea member recently returned from Hawaii after taking part in a surf camp with Billabong.

“He has also been nominated by surfing Australia as a future Olympian,” Mr Landsberg says.

“Now that surfing is an Olympic sport, it is a great building block to hopefully see some representation from the Sunshine Coast.”

As well as an exciting competition, WindanSea Boardriders is eagerly awaiting construction to begin on its new clubhouse, following recent application approval after almost eight years of planning.

“We have lodged operational work and are now preparing the site with hopes to start work over the next few months,” Mr Landsberg says. myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

RISING STAR At just age 15, Buddina’s Taj Stokes took out the iconic Pa & Ma Bendall Memorial Surfing Contest in 2018.

The surfer is a rising star of the sport, currently part of the Qualifying Series touring the east coast, which will hopefully lead him up the ranks to be part of the World Surf League Championship Tour.

Mr Stokes says he always enjoys the healthy competition and camaraderie that the Pa & Ma Bendall contest attracts to one of the best surf locations on the Coast.

He also credits it being a great platform for young surfers to gain exposure.

“2017 was my first year competing in the event and it’s always such a great weekend, being the Easter weekend, and we always get such great waves.

“All the surfers from across the Sunny Coast and some mates from the Gold Coast get together to do this event and it’s great to catch up with them all.”

Hoping to come away with a win, the 19-year-old says he tries to spend as much time in the water before an event as possible.

“I surf as much as I can between work and I will go and surf Moffats a few times leading up to the event.”

CONTEST HISTORY

Taj Stokes

Hunter Andersson

Marjorie and Charles Bendall settled in Caloundra in the 1950s. There were only a handful of other surfers living locally at the time and they became the mother and father of surfing on the Sunshine Coast.

Pa formed the invitational Moffateers club in 1966 to promote integrity and sportsmanship locally in surfing. Using club contests as training and conditioning for more challenging contests, he encouraged the young Moffateers to compete in regional, state and national championships.

In 1973 Pa passed away and his funeral service was held overlooking his beloved Moffat waves. Soon after a memorial plaque was unveiled in what is today known as the Ma and Pa Bendall Park.

The first Pa Bendall Memorial Contest was held at Moffat Beach in February 1974 in four-foot surf. First prize was $1500, the largest prize offered for any Australian surfing contest at the time. The competition attracted every professional surfer in the country including Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, Simon Anderson and Hawaiian legend Gerry Lopez, as well as hot local talent.

Catch all the action at Moffat Beach from April 15 to 17.

$300 MILLION Dr Andy Howe talks with students from Beerwah State High School LALC 2021 Best of Show Winner Alison Mooney and judge John Waldron

STUDENTS AND SCIENTISTS UNITE Sunshine Coast students are helping researchers identify insects amid hopes they could discover new species. They have already been hard at work, finding caterpillars, grasshoppers, stink bugs, wasps, moths and more. Beerwah State High is one of 17 Queensland schools involved in the citizen science project, Insect Investigators. It is a national initiative, coordinated in Queensland by the University of the Sunshine Coast. Visiting the schools is USC research fellow and insect ecologist Dr Andy Howe. “Students and teachers are so excited about the biodiversity in their own communities,” he says. “We hope they make their own scientific discoveries from the insect world, and maybe get the chance of naming one.”

Only 30 per cent of insects in Australia have been scientifically identified. “We need citizen scientists to help us increase that number.”

LOCAL ARTISTS SHINE AT EXHIBITION An exciting celebration of Sunshine Coast artists is now on show in the Local Artists – Local Art Prize exhibition at Caloundra Regional Gallery until May 8. Caloundra Regional Gallery curator Jo Duke says the prize is an initiative of Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra and celebrates the diversity of visual arts practice across the Sunshine Coast. “The prize invites works across a range of genres, from regional artists depicting local themes and creates a visual embodiment of our spectacular region,” Ms Duke says. “There is something for everyone, with works in all different mediums and in all areas of expression, from realism to abstraction, to patterns formed within the outer and inner landscapes.” The exhibit will present 40 finalists’ works and will be acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection.

5000 MEALS A MAJOR MILESTONE

Heat-seeking drones, detector dogs and scat have been used to determine the population of koalas in the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden. During the three-day operation, 14 koalas were detected – a number higher than expected – all presenting no signs of disease. “We have used a combination of thermal drones to find koalas, then we deploy detection dogs to find fresh scats from each koala,” University of the Sunshine Coast Koala ecologist Dr Romane Cristescu says.

“The scats are then analysed to determine, among other things, if chlamydia is present, whether the koala is male or female and if any of the koalas in the reserve are related.”

The Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden forms part of a wildlife corridor for the local koala population, which are now considered an endangered species.

A heat-and-eat meal business that promises restaurantquality food has reached a milestone in helping the homeless. The Hatted Chef has provided 5000 meals since launching 18 months ago. The business offers chef-prepared meals for sale through independent food stores and donates 20 per cent of proceeds, or one free meal for every four sold, to Sunny Street. They produce singleserve dishes that are prepared at The Dock Mooloolaba restaurant, and available at White’s IGAs. “We love that we have been able to support the important work of Sunny Street, who provide medical care for the homeless and vulnerable,” executive chef Chris Sell says. “When we first started developing the business, there were a lot of people in need because of the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, so as well as making sure we had work to keep our kitchens open and our staff working, we also wanted to incorporate support for some of those in need.”

Temporary traffic changes are planned at Forest Glen as part of the Maroochydore Road and Mons Road Interchanges project. The northbound Bruce Highway traffic will be temporarily diverted onto the southbound carriageway of the highway for about 500 metres until mid-2022. Transport and Main Roads North Coast Regional Director Scott Whitaker says the interchange will be upgraded and new two-way service roads will be built on both sides of the highway for local traffic as part of the $301.25 million project. “Motorists will still be able to use Exit 210 to access the Maroochydore Road interchange and we will maintain access to local businesses,” he says. TMR will work to minimise disruption.

PROTECTING OUR KOALAS

A Golden Beach man picking up a loaf of bread and a newspaper has received the surprise of a lifetime after bagging a million-dollar win in Gold Lotto. The Sunshine Coast resident held one of the three division one winning entries in draw 4170, drawn April 5 and takes home $1,028,099.50. He purchased the ticket while travelling through Beaudesert and now plans to sell his house – and even retire. “We’ve been wanting to sell our house and move closer to our parents for a while now,” he says. “I might even retire today; I think this is the perfect time.”

76 DRIVERS CAUGHT OVER THE LIMIT Since March 26, Sunshine Coast police have been performing traffic checks across the region as part of Operation Regain.

During a 10-day period, police conducted more than 5000 roadside breath tests (RBTs), and Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho says the results have been disappointing. “During the operation over 500 drivers a day have been subjected to a RBT with one in every 80 drivers tested returning a positive reading over the prescribed legal limit.” Additionally, 316 drivers completed a roadside drug test, with 76 returning a positive result. As part of the operation, Sunshine Coast police also issued 184 speeding related infringement notices, and 46 drivers were caught for poor driving behaviours. myweeklypreview.com.au

TASTY EVENT RETURNS Meet the makers brings the Sunshine Coast’s food and beverage industry together in May. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

food and beverage trade event that celebrates some of the best local growers and makers is set to return in May. In its fourth year, Meet the Makers 2022 will showcase fresh produce, food and beverage products from more than 100 exhibitors from the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie, Moreton Bay and beyond.

The Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN) event is a key opportunity for chefs, restaurateurs, cafes, food stores, retailers, accommodation and attraction providers to foster relationships with producers and learn about products.

Continuing to grow in size, diversity and reputation, FAN CEO Emma Greenhatch says as the region’s only dedicated food and beverage trade event, it creates valuable commercial connections and opportunities for its members and the wider food and beverage industry.

“Meet the Makers 2022 will showcase the amazing array and diversity of products and produce that is made here in SouthEast Queensland – to a wide group of industry buyers and supporters,” Ms Greenhatch says.

“The start of this year hasn’t gone as

LOCALS SUPPORTING LOCALS Frozen Sunshine ice creams Inset: Jamie and Natalie Dalton anyone had planned, so now more than ever it’s time for us to celebrate our regions’ amazing growers and makers.”

One local business looking forward to exhibiting this year is Jamie and Natalie Dalton from Sunshine Coast company Frozen Sunshine.

Established in 2014, Frozen Sunshine creates delicious ice creams full of fresh ingredients and flavour.

Ms Dalton tells My Weekly Preview the company has evolved in its eight years.

“This will be our third Meet the Makers – and we’re excited to use the event as a

platform to launch a new range of product lines to industry buyers,” she says.

Ms Dalton says as a FAN member, access to resources and event like this helps businesses establish a name and gain positive exposure.

“We want to continue to get Frozen Sunshine around Australia and focus on growth, so an event like this is great.

“If you’re a local food or beverage producer or maker on the Sunshine Coast looking to grow your business – this is the event you need to attend.”

The event is on May 3. More information for interested exhibitors or potential buyers can be found at foodagribusiness.org.au/meet-the-makers.

As the official ambassador of Meet the Makers, Roz White from White’s IGA has long been a passionate advocate for supporting local producers.

White’s IGA is a pioneer of the locavore movement and supporting the region’s local food and beverage industry.

“Meet the Makers is a truly unique event where our industry can connect with a diverse range of producers and growers and source innovative and new to market retail lines,” Ms White says.

“Working with a network of local suppliers has immense benefits for our business and region. When we support local, we support our community – in both the good and challenging times.

A HAVEN FOR VULNERABLE YOUTH An unused church will become a shelter for homeless youth, providing safety and support to help get them on track.

Y

outh facing homelessness on the Sunshine Coast will soon have access to a safe and supportive facility with an unused Church in Nambour to be repurposed into a shelter.

Integrated Family and Youth Service (IFYS) is set to provide a holistic suite of care and support services for 21 young people onsite at ‘the Church’ youth homeless shelter.

The $3.2-million project will re-purpose the ageing building to include 22 fully furnished rooms, including one for an onsite caretaker, complete with an ensuite, basic cooking facilities and a study area with access to shared kitchen, dining and fitness facilities set across two levels.

When complete, the project aims to provide more than 7281 nights of accommodation annually with an emphasis on transitioning tenants into new independent living situations.

The Church project will build on IFYS’s existing support for youth homelessness, already managing a frontline six-bed emergency shelter on the Sunshine Coast.

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien and IFYS Accommodation services team leader Tania Larter IFYS Accommodation services team leader, Tania Larter, says this facility will change the life trajectory of young people in housing crisis.

“We have seen after 40 years of working with disadvantaged young people, the impact one caring adult can have on their future, their increased confidence to succeed and realise their dreams,” she says.

“The model will see highly skilled therapeutic case workers supporting

young people with their personal goals, developing their independent living skills and role modelling positive behaviours.

In a recent announcement, the facility is being boosted thanks to a $790,834 grant as part of the federal government’s Safer Communities funding.

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien says the Sunshine Coast property boom, coupled with increased cost of living

pressures, is putting pressure on many families and making it difficult to find affordable accommodation options.

“This announcement of $790,834 will provide around the clock, onsite wrap-around support for residents of the new homeless centre with a particular focus on ‘learning and earning’ activities that strengthen a young person’s employment options.”

The grant will also enable IFYS to provide training for residents of the church with a particular focus on workplace pathways and pay for the operational aspects of the program.

Following a significant fundraising campaign, Ms Larter says the project will commence within months, with plans to be operational by Christmas 2022.

However, an additional $1.2 million is still required to finalise the initial infrastructure costs.

“To date, we have raised a substantial amount of the funds required to ensure we can undertake this new accommodation project, but we are still lacking resources for the final stage of furnishing,” Ms Larter says.

Or settle in for the afternoon at one of the Sunshine Coast’s many brew-pubs. If you like something a little stronger, a number of distilleries are also finding inspiration in the region’s local ingredients to create delicious vodka, gin and rum.

HIT THE ROAD

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

Shelly Rankin

TIME TO GIVE TO THE GREATEST NEED Support the cancer charity that supports others. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

I

magine being a fit and healthy 20-year-old and receiving a cancer diagnosis leaving you in fear of your life and “alienated” from you friends.

That was the reality for Shelly Rankin who, after experiencing what she thought was a cold that did not go away, was left in complete shock when her doctor told her she had Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Having never heard of the disease, it took her a bit to register it was a potentially fatal form of cancer with, at the very least, a gruelling treatment road ahead.

“I just felt numb,” Ms Rankin says. “I was just like, ‘Oh. That’s cancer’.”

A week after the diagnosis around Easter last year, she was rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties and had 1.5 litres of fluid painfully drained from her lung.

Enduring six months and six rounds of chemotherapy Ms Rankin says, treatment aside, receiving a diagnosis like this in her twenties had an impact on her young life.

“Nobody really gets how intense it is to have to take on a disease with full-on treatments and everything. I felt alienated as I watched my friends go to uni while I felt stuck in mud taking one step at a time and hoping I would get through.”

After treatment, the 21-year-old is in

remission and finally able to think about moving forward with her life. “Blood tests and other scans have shown no evidence of cancer,” she says.

“I have six-monthly check-ups and monitors for symptoms, but as far as I know I am cancer free.”

Bloomhill Cancer Care was an integral part of Ms Rankin’s treatment and she says the organisation “just got it”.

“What’s helped me is having a community who understand. Even if they’re not your age or your cancer, people get it. You just talk to people and keep in touch; find like-minded people. We’re all a lot more mature than others our age.”

To help the Sunshine Coast charity continue its work, Bloomhill Cancer Care has launched its Greatest Need Appeal.

CEO Christopher John says 2022 marks 25 years of providing personalised support to those touched by cancer. “The Greatest Need Fund is for individuals or organisations who want to give but want their dollars to go toward the most urgent shortfalls, across any area of the organisation, from nurse wages to paying the main operating expenses,” he says.

“We are a community-based organisation and receive no ongoing government funding. Almost 100 per cent of our funding comes from our entrepreneurial endeavours and community donations.

“Over the past year, we have supported more than 1400 people and provided more than 7120 occasions of nursing, allied health care and wellness activities each year at our wellness centre in Buderim.”

In 2022 Bloomhill is also planning to renovate its Buderim wellness centre to provide more therapy rooms, client resources and spaces dedicated to those touched by cancer.

To donate visit bloomhill.com.au.

CASH PAID FOR GOLD

FLOOD DONATION DRIVE Almost 60 tonnes of donations have been sent to flood-affected areas of northern New South Wales thanks to the generosity of the Sunshine Coast community and businesses.

Campbell Construction Co (CCC), The Surf Club Mooloolaba and QEBS banded together to initiate the CCC Community Flood Relief Drive. The response has seen medical supplies, water, cleaning products, clothes, toys, prams and food fill four large trucks, three vans and a ute that last month made the journey south.

CCC’s Ben Campbell cannot believe the devastation he saw after delivering the goods to Evans Head. “I have been to over 30 natural disaster areas and worked in all of them, including cyclones, fires, and this by far is the worst,” he says. “Countless homes and businesses emptied and uninhabitable, with streets lined with endless mud and contents.”

Preparations are now underway for a second drive that will address the ongoing needs of the residents as they come to light. Find Campbell Construction Co on social media to see what’s required and find out how to donate.

LOCAL NEWS patients who chose not to seek treatment for eye disease, instead living with diminished quality of life because they couldn’t get to Brisbane without burdening family. That changed when funds raised through The House the Coast Built led to $430,000 worth of equipment installed at Caloundra Hospital to benefit patients with sight issues. It also played a big part in the public health service recruiting a highly sought-after ophthalmologist to the region.

The generous team at Kruger Law, Poole Group and Just Better Care helped raise $30,000 to build a rehabilitation garden for patients with dementia at Nambour Hospital. Music and light therapy resources provide a temporary distraction while we wait for the hospital redevelopment project to finish to complete the garden.

These are just some of the many generous locals who have made the hospital experience better. Like dad and nursing director Lee Holmes who will soon compete in the highest and most adventurous marathon in the world – the Everest Marathon – to raise money for distractive resources to support patients suffering symptoms of delirium. GP Dr Jo English will do an epic month-long Gulf to Gulf ride across Australia’s remote outback to raise funds for Dove Palliative Care.

Never doubt, each of us can make a difference.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

HOW COAST LOCALS HAVE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE So many local health services that our families rely on have been introduced to the Coast, or improved greatly, through the generosity of proactive locals.

An enduring investment made by local hospital foundation Wishlist was the Nambour Hospital Cancer Centre, which opened in 2006 after four years of fundraising. The $1.7 million raised transformed local cancer services, reducing the need for patients to make the journey to Brisbane for treatment.

I often wonder how great an impact the state-of-the-art equipment and multidisciplinary aspect of the centre had on the services introduced at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital 10 years later.

Fast-forward to 2011, Ausmar Homes and the supporters of The House the Coast Built were inspired by stories of the elderly

MY OPINION

WHERE ARE THE REAL LEADERS?

SCHOOL IS IN

A looming federal election has Jane Stephens asking why we’re already sick of the campaigning, and she’s come up with an answer.

T

he great political slugfest has begun. We are being sent to the polls next month to choose the person we want to speak for us in Commonwealth parliament and make laws that we all must live by, like them or not.

But even before the boxing match properly starts, we are tired of it.

While this has been blamed on politicians seemingly perpetually campaigning, I contend the real reason is that none – not a single one – of our political leaders truly inspires us. None has given us their ‘why’.

The ‘why’ is imperative – as important as the ‘what’ and the ‘how’.

The ‘why’ is what inspires people to rally behind a cause, to sit tight in a job when times are tough and to stick with a relationship when it falters.

Top coaches use it to help motivate great athletes to become champions.

Good counsellors use it to help a stuck person tackle their sticky problem. And strong leaders use it to galvanise support that lasts beyond the next opinion poll.

It is one of the key questions in any job interview: why do you want to work

here? The query checks whether the applicant has any sense of the company’s values, culture and ethos.

Politicians need to give us their ‘why’.

What are their core values, beyond their political party affiliations? What is their motivation for spending this money on that thing or planning this change for that group?

A Harvard Business Review article in 2020 on leadership through a time of exponential change contended that so-called sapient leadership brought openness, humility and authenticity to the fore, pointing out that the days of the ‘leader as hero’ model are over.

More than a decade ago, a book called Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action introduced a new leadership model. Author Simon Sinek compared the two main ways to influence human behaviour: manipulation and inspiration, arguing inspiration was the more powerful and sustainable of the two.

The ripple effects last longer when people are moved rather than manipulated because they are carried by belief rather than lured by temptation.

Please, please give us some of that.

Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

What should future leaders really be taught?

When it comes to the political kind, Ashley Robinson has a few ideas.

I

was reading some news recently and came across an interesting story.

Questions are being raised about why a foundation which appears to have no staff or office has had $18 million set aside for it by the federal government.

It read: “Australian Future Leaders Program is set to receive $18 million over five years and an extra $4 million a year after that. The Prime Minister’s department says the organisation has no office or staff it knows of. However, the department insists it had followed due diligence in awarding the funding.”

So what I could make of it was that it will bring young people from all walks of life to mentor them and hopefully find our next corporate, government and political leaders, which in my view would be a massive challenge, particularly the politician part. Corporate shouldn’t be too hard – there are plenty of talented young folk around. Government shouldn’t be too hard – they just have to get them in a room and teach them how to say no to everything or at least respond with more information to the masses and hopefully they will get sick of asking? So there should

be plenty of cash left out of $18 million for the last category – politicians?

What a challenge for the Australian Future Leaders Program to turn some young folk into functioning politicians who we would generally be happy with. Imagine that classroom – first lesson should be to tell the truth and make your decisions for the good of the country not with a view to get re-elected.

Next lesson: don’t continually try to tell us via media statements, advertising and mail-outs what a good job they do. Show us with actions. Followed by occasionally agree with the opposition when they have a good idea, instead of arguing against it then changing its name and making it your idea. Photo opportunities should turn into rolling up sleeves and actually doing something would be the next lesson.

These are just a few of the lessons I would like to see. I am sure you will have some of your own and sadly they will need more than $18 million to break the cycle of what we have become politically, so I am sort of hoping it was an April Fool’s joke because we are continually being treated like fools.

MY OPINION

NEW BUT NOT ALWAYS IMPROVED Sami Muirhead has learned some new words, and while she’s a fan of some, there’s one that she just can’t come to terms with.

T

o stay young at heart, I believe you need to regularly update your sunglasses and your vocabulary.

Shrinkage is that unfortunate situation referring to blokes and their body parts, but shrinkflation is a new buzz word that is doing the rounds. Shrinkflation is used when talking about chocolate bars, ice-creams, even the times Netflix gives you a prompt to stop watching before it starts another episode. The price remains the same for these goods and services, but the quantity is shrinking.

Drinkflation is another new word that refers to prices going up but pour sizes going down.

Virtual fashion is a term being touted around the globe. It means the design and sale of clothing and accessories for virtual platforms and avatars. I hate this idea of it being just fashion on your computer. That is hardly exciting and it will not help us in the least when we need to go out and have literally nothing to wear because we spent our pay on stupid make-believe outfits on the internet. Give me a new actual handbag I can stuff with dozens of items and clutch under my arm any day over a virtual bag that I cannot smell or feel.

Metaverse is another new word that is set to get bigger this year thanks to Mark Zuckerberg. I read the definition of this word about a million times before I gave up because it also involves living your life online and in a virtual reality space. Metaverse is mega hard to get your head around. No, people, no! Some things you need to do for real in the

“Hard pass is my favourite saying and you can use it in many ways” actual world like walk in the sand and watch the sunset.

Finfluencer is a fun new word that refers to influencers who focus on money-related topics. And lastly the hard pass has been added to the list of new words and definitions in 2022. Hard pass is my favourite saying and you can use it in many ways including, “It is a hard pass for me when it comes to going out on a Friday night when I could be very happy at home with my dogs and pyjamas.”

home TRY THESE EASTER STYLING IDEAS Something about holiday decorating sparks joy and nostalgia. The best thing is that festive styling doesn’t have to be costly, or time consuming.

Celebrated property stylist and founder of Vault Interiors Justine Wilson shares four of her best Easter decorating tips. With no time to waste, be sure to start planning to ensure your home shines this Easter Sunday.

2. TABLETOP DECOR Create a magical fairyland scene for the kids.

Coloured eggs, pretty floral arrangements, cute bunnies and sweet treats look great. “Grouping together can create a magical Easter vignette,” Ms Wilson says. “Display your Easter decor on hall tables, coffee tables or mantles. It’s an easy way to spruce up your space and create a festive vibe.”

1. SEASONAL WREATHS Welcome family and friends to your home with a festive statement hung on the front door. Ms Wilson says, “For Easter, I’m always drawn to lots of greenery, earthy and natural-looking wreaths with pastel tones. Wreaths with cute details such as eggs, bunnies, chicks, or flowers will definitely signify Easter is coming”.

Morgan & Finch moss rabbit, Bed Bath N’ Table.

3. DECORATE A TREE

we love The Morgan & Finch bunny wreath decoration features soft tones and natural touches to create a fresh and elegant look.

It’s from Bed, Bath N’ Table.

Who says the Christmas tree should be used only once a year? Ms Wilson says decorating the artificial tree is a fun visual statement for your home. “For Easter, consider dressing the tree in pretty ribbons, faux floral, hanging carrots, Easter egg ornaments, or cute bunnies. At night it will create a pretty background twinkle and ambiance, and having a decorated Easter tree is a great way to bring in the festive feeling.”

For a more understated statement, consider adorning a few tree branches with colourful decorations. You can also purchase small wooden Easter trees and stems from various retail stores.

HOME STYLE

For an inexpensive decorating option, we like the Harper bunny placemat from Provincial Home Living. These paper placemats come in a pack of 50.

4. EASTER TABLESCAPE A well-thought-out tablescape will inject style and festivity into your home. For Easter, a grass or hessian table runner is a great base.

Build on the look with pretty linen. “Then add a centrepiece; this could be as simple as seasonal floral in pretty vases with some candles, or fun trinkets like Easter bunnies or pretty Easter eggs,” Ms Wilson says. “I think the key with any centrepiece display is to play with the height levels of your objects.

If you can have a variety of sized objects, or vases in your arrangement, it’s sure to look intricate and fun.

Paint on a freebie.

Flowers accompanied by greenery are a must for any Easter table. This sweet native bouquet of peonies arranged in a glass vase is from Adairs.

5 FUN EASTER ACTIVITIES Keep the kids entertained ahead of the long weekend with these colourful and creative DIY craft projects. There’s never been a more fun or easier way to decorate the house!

Create pretty dyed eggs for a decoration (and breakfast!) with a difference. Bring your eggs to boil and cool under cold water. Mix together half a cup of boiling water, one tablespoon of vinegar and your food dye colour of choice.

Wearing gloves, or using a large slotted spoon or tongs, dip your eggs and allow to colour for five minutes. Let the eggs dry and then serve, or refrigerate to serve the following morning.

DIY WREATHE Easter wreathes are growing in popularity and are now available in pretty materials and colours from a range of homewares stores. Let the kids create their own masterpiece to hang on their bedroom doors.

PRETTY CENTREPIECE

BUNNY GARLAND Simple, yet effective, this pretty wall hanging will brighten your dining or living room. All you need is a sharp pencil, a range of patterned craft paper, scissors, glue, string and pastel-coloured pom-poms. Trace your bunny on to a piece of paper and cut it out. This is your base shape and can be used to create the rest of the cut-outs. Glue on the tails, and it’s ready to hang.

You can either glue the bunnies onto the string, or use a small hole punch to string them on.

Create the cylinder body from heavy card stock, or let the kids go wild with paint and empty toilet paper rolls. Stick on some ears, draw on a face and you have some cute bunnies to display. You can also pop one into Easter gift baskets for a personalised touch.

HOME STYLE

PLAYING WITH COLOUR: HOW TO INJECT FUN INTO YOUR HOME THROUGH RUGS As one of the country’s most sought-after interior designers, Darren Palmer brings a wealth of knowledge to any project. Here, the Carpet Court ambassador shares his tips on how to add colour and interest to a room in a simple and cost-effective way – with the use of the humble rug.

“The tough decision is choosing the right rug for the right room,” Mr Palmer tells My Weekly Preview.

“The best way to approach it is to think of a rug as a piece of art on the floor.

It can either influence your overall interior decisions or complement the existing decor.”

Consider your existing colour scheme First, consider your existing colour scheme. A white interior always looks bright as it reflects light, which inevitably lightens the interior of your home, making any colour in your furnishings ‘pop’.

Start from the ground up If you’re starting from scratch, you could treat a new rug as the starting point to inspire your soft furnishings and colour palette. For example, if you choose a rug

Darren Palmer

with a Moroccan terracotta colour scheme, you can highlight this with cream textured cushions to develop a relaxed, bohemian feel. Likewise, geometric high-detail patterns might look just right in a room aiming for Hollywood glam, but less appropriate if you’re opting for minimalism.

Play with prints Bold and beautiful prints are a sure-fire way to get your room noticed. Though it can be intimidating working with bold colours and striking prints, they bring a ‘wow’ factor to any room, especially when executed well. Most people assume that it takes confidence to use bold prints, but the truth is, you can get your showstopper moment without having

Give your Concrete a For domestic & commercial applications

to devote a whole wall or sofa to the cause; sometimes less is best, and you can create a bold moment with a rug.

Layer rugs Layering is a great way to add texture, colour and comfort to any room.

Choosing two rugs that will work together, not against each other, may sound tricky at first, but once you’ve found a pair that complement one another, you’ll find that

the layers work together to bring a tonal and textural difference to the room.

Research The best thing to do is to research the style you’re trying to create and develop your own mood board to see which colours, patterns and textures work well together. Then you can have some fun and bring your vision to life by the addition of a beautiful rug.

Many of the current students at STEPS Pathways College are on the spectrum, with their lack of confidence in social settings one of the biggest hurdles they face when first arriving.

Developing these social skills is a key component of the two-year course, with students completing upwards of 30 subjects during their time at the college, learning how to cook, clean, write a resume and live independently along the way.

NEW DATING APP FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

INDIVIDUALISED LIVING OPTIONS OFFER FREEDOM

Chattii is a dating app with a difference.

Designed for people with disabilities but open to everyone, Chattii is building an inclusive community that celebrates love in all its forms.

Co-founder Abbi Brass says the app makes it easier and safer to meet other people with or without a disability for friendship, connection or more.

The disability sector worker and mum of a 12-year-old with a disability came up with the idea after many conversations with people in her community about how hard it was to find love.

As a sales representative for a wheelchair company, Ms Brass would hear from different clients stories about their love life and their disastrous experiences on mainstream platforms like Tinder. Then, she tried to help someone sign up for dating app Bumble and was blown away by the lack of fields to add information about your disability.

With a motto, “see the human, feel the love”, Ms Brass and the team hope Chattii becomes an international platform that opens people’s eyes to a fuller range of human experiences.

And that’s not all. The long-term

Having a place to live where you feel safe, comfortable and “at home” is important to all of us. Home should be a place where you can be yourself, make choices that are right for you and have control over your day-to-day activities.

The NDIS has a package of supports that may be able to help you design a living situation that meets your needs in a home of your choice. It’s called Individualised Living Options (ILO).

What are Individualised Living Options? Individualised Living Options (ILOs) are packages of support that consider each individual’s preferences, strengths, support requirements, informal and community supports.

If you’re eligible, you can get help to live in the home of your choice – on your own, with family or with friends.

Benefits of Individualised Living Options: • Greater flexibility and fewer restrictions.

• Choose where you live and who you live with.

• Live alone or with family or friends.

• Get NDIS support whether you rent, have a mortgage or own your property.

• Access more stable and consistent supports.

• Improved capacity building options.

Chattii is building an inclusive community that celebrates love vision is for Chattii to be run by and employ people with disabilities. Ms Brass and her partner will interview prospective business partners to ensure they support this mission.

It’s important to know that with ILO, the NDIS doesn’t help you to find somewhere to live. In most cases, you have to find a home yourself. It may be a private rental, a house you own or social housing.

ILO can support many types of living arrangements: • If you share a home with family, friends or other people with NDIS Plans.

• If you rent a house from a landlord or real estate agent.

• If you live in public or community housing.

• When you own or are paying off your own home.

• Host arrangements where you reside in the home of a host you don’t know.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Monday and Tuesday look unpredictable and the sun/Pluto square could throw a relationship challenge in your direction. Your ruling planet, Venus, is transiting through Pisces, so do your best to play the perceptive peacemaker.

The sun moves into your relationship zone, so find practical ways to help those around you. But resist the temptation to be a stubborn, intractable and risk-adverse Scorpio.

Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

When it comes to a social event or a complicated friendship, hold onto your hat and prepare for some drama.

It is a good week to spruce up your domestic abode and entertain at home. On Sunday, replace negative thinking with a focused approach.

Many Capricorns will feel capricious and cranky this week. Expect some uncomfortable discussions with family and friends. You’re not in the mood to be diplomatic, and others will be surprised by the intensity of your feelings.

There’s a planetary pile-up in your home zone, so expect some family shenanigans and domestic dramas this week. You’re also likely to hear some startling news that makes your ears burn, but try to be discreet with any secrets that come your way.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune are all visiting your sign, so it’s time to tap into the Piscean creativity and courage within. Other people are looking to you for compassionate leadership, so roll up your sleeves and get to work!

PROPERTY

DON’T BE DISTRACTED BY THE CITY MARKET The Sunshine Coast’s property market will stabilise but for now, it is as strong as it’s ever been. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

T

alk of weaker demand and heightened residential property supply in the southern capitals splashed across the news may be worrying some buyers and sellers, but the expert advice is don’t be distracted.

According to REIQ chief executive officer Antonia Mercorella the Queensland market, and in particular the Coast, is sitting in a pocket that can’t be compared to what is reportedly happening down south.

“Our market doesn’t always replicate what is happening in Sydney and Melbourne,” she says.

Both of those markets have been moving at speed for some time while the Coast market has been moving at a much more modest pace until two years ago when COVID-19 hit, and the world was turned on its head.

“We have seen extraordinary demand and price growth, which has been much higher than we have seen historically,” Ms Mercorella says. “The Sunshine Coast in particular has outperformed Brisbane and it’s not just Noosa, it’s really the Sunshine Coast as a whole.”

Based on current data there is no indication the Coast market is slowing. In fact, Ms Mercorella says interstate migration is continuing and there is an expectation that international migration will have a positive impact on the Queensland market.

“The way in which the Sunshine Coast market is performing, I think it’s a pretty unique market,” Ms Mercorella says.

“Certainly, we haven’t seen any signs it’s slowing down.

“What we have seen over a number of years is the Coast property market has

“I don’t remember a time when we have seen our market so strong consistently...”

grown from strength to strength. And that’s not just the sales market, it’s also the rental market. It has one of the tightest rental markets in Queensland at the moment.”

Going forward, an increase in interest rates, the increasing cost of living and wages growth could force buyers to think more carefully about what they can afford to borrow and how much money they want to put into the residential market.

Another uncertainty is the looming election outcome which may put the market into a “holding pattern”.

“At some stage our market will start to

Antonia Mercorella stabilise, and we will see a slower rate of growth because it will get to a stage where it is not sustainable,” Ms Mercorella says.

But she countered these comments of concern with a reassuring positive outlook.

“I don’t recall a time when we have seen our market so strong consistently across virtually all parts of Queensland.”

NEW LAWS WILL SHAKE UP THE RENTAL MARKET Landlords need to get up to speed with new legislation regarding tenants leasing their rental properties, says John Stamp.

R

Tenants now enjoy a shift in the way the law sees their occupation of property, moving from a transactional arrangement to better recognising the property they occupy as their home.

“The rental relationship between landlord and tenant is changing”

ecent changes in legislation combined with a leap forward in technology has eschewed a much-needed evolution in the world of property management.

This shift is important societally, but unearths many potholes for landlords and property managers that are not prepared and educated for change.

A comprehensive understanding of the new requirements around maintenance and upkeep from a landlord’s perspective and how it has made a number of properties ineligible to lease could save clients many thousands of dollars in additional costs if dealt with before going to the market.

Additionally, education around the changes in pet ownership and rental properties will lead to arrangements that save both sides of the rental agreement a lot of money and heartache.

The rental relationship between landlord and tenant is changing in Queensland and these changes will improve the market for both parties only if the ones entrusted with managing the relationship are equipped for the new normal.

Make sure your property management team is prepared, if not, change is easy and the best move you can make as a landlord.

So get down and support this event. It is always fun and has a great vibe. There should be a few waves, so it could be fun!
