AGENDA

The top five scamming

success by paying dividends from new victims’ money, accounted for $8 million.

Ponzi schemes are named after Charles Ponzi, who in the 1920s promised to double people’s money in 45 days. One such scheme doing the rounds in 2021 was the Hope Business app, which promised windfall returns simply by paying money into an account.

The consumer watchdog’s report says men are almost twice as likely to be victims of investment scams and reported double the losses of female victims.

trends As more and more Australians get caught out by scammers, the nation’s consumer watchdog has identified the top five scam types fraudsters use to bleed their victims of billions of dollars.

G

reed, desire and naivety are lucrative markets for scam artists, and their age-old hustles are increasingly being supplemented by digital chicanery.

In 2021 Australians lost an estimated $2 billion to fraudsters, more than double that of 2020, according to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.

The consumer watchdog’s latest scam report details more than 20 different scam types, primarily based on reports made to its Scamwatch agency. Some scams are perennials. Topping the list are investment scams, dating and romance scams, false billing, remote access scams (convincing you to allow access to your computer or phone), and threats. The top five trends are:

1. RANSOMWARE AND MALWARE This type of scam has been on the wane due to the use of anti-malware protection.

But in 2021 it roared back with a 1482 per cent rise in reported losses over 2020.

The reported costs per incident (about $21,704) are worrying given how easily such scams can be spread. They typically involve installing malicious software on your computer or phone to lock the device or

5. PHISHING make files inaccessible. This is done by sending a bogus email, text message or voicemail with an enticing message directing you to a link that automatically installs the malicious software when you open it. The scammer then demands a payment to ‘unlock’ the system.

Contributing to ransomware’s resurgence was the Flubot scam, in which tens of thousands of Australians received scam text messages about missed calls or deliveries. The malware could harvest banking details and use contact lists to spread to other devices.

2. PYRAMID SCHEMES Pyramid schemes promise you riches by recruiting others to the scheme. While such recruitment is also a feature of multi-level marketing (or referral selling) schemes, in an illegal pyramid scheme financial returns are substantially or entirely reliant on convincing other people to join.

In 2021 reported losses from pyramid schemes were 368 per cent higher than in 2020. This was due, as with malware, to losses in 2020 being abnormally low. But even though the total number of reported cases was quite low (fewer than 500) the percentage of those reports involving people losing money was one of the highest (44 per cent), with an average loss of $6239.

This suggests pyramid scams remain quite alluring to some people.

3. IDENTITY THEFT Identity theft – using personal information to steal money from you or someone else – is one of the most challenging scams to deal with. It may involve stealing money from your own account or using your identity for credit purchases, which you then have to untangle.

This is a true growth area. In 2021 there were 22,354 identity theft reports, up from 20,939 in 2020. While only 951 of these cases (about four per cent) reported losses, average losses more than doubled to about $10,683. The total losses ($10,159,930) were 230 per cent higher than in 2020.

4. INVESTMENT SCAMS Investment scams tempt victims with promises of large profits from share deals and cryptocurrency opportunities. In 2021, 4068 Australians reported losing more than $177 million on such scams – an average loss of about $45,350.

While investment scams come in many varieties, Scamwatch itemises three main types. Cryptocurrency scams accounted for $99 million of reported losses. Fake high-yield corporate or government bonds accounted for $16 million. Ponzi schemes, which create the charade of investment

Phishing, closely linked to identity theft, was the most reported scam in 2021 – with 71,308 cases, compared with 44,079 in 2020 and 25,168 in 2019.

These scams are usually seeking to obtain our passwords to various services including email, online banking and government services such as myGov. That just 861 cases reported a direct financial loss suggests this is one of the most recognised scams. We’ve all had emails or SMS messages asking us to confirm our details or click a link to listen to a voicemail or receive a parcel.

Even so, a total of $4.3 million was reported lost from phishing scams in 2021 – 156 per cent more than in 2020. The average loss was slightly more than $5000.

HOW TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you have any inkling you are being scammed, stop and think. If you are being asked to move money, make an unexpected payment or send personal information to someone, stop. If you are being asked to provide information or take some action, contact the organisation involved using a number you already have or find the number yourself.

FAST FACTS

The origins of the Loch Ness monster

Do you remember? Console TVs

Did you know?

When we breathe in and out of our nose during the day, one nostril does most of the work at a time, with the duties switching every several hours. This ‘nasal cycle’ is dictated by the same autonomic nervous system that regulates heart rate, digestion and other unconscious bodily functions and is the reason why when our nose gets stuffed up, it does so one nostril at a time.

By the numbers The legend of the Loch Ness monster goes back nearly 1500 years. There’s a tale written in the year AD565 that speaks of an Irish monk, Saint Columba, travelling through Scotland.

While there, he heard stories of a “water beast” that attacked and killed the local people when they went in the river. That river is now known in Scotland as the River Ness, which flows out from the famous Loch Ness.

Quote of the week “You must do the things you think you cannot do.”

By the mid-1950s, half of Australia had a television in the home. For decades starting with the earliest colour models, televisions were designed as furniture, partly to make the TV the focal point of the home. Today, televisions are bigger than they’ve ever been, but the design concept has done a 180 from the days of the so-called console TV. Instead of being a focal point, today’s giants are sleek, unassuming and built to blend in.

THE CURATED PLATE – A TASTE OF THE SUNSHINE COAST Food lovers have been waiting long enough for the next Curated Plate festival and the wait is almost over – The Curated (side) Plate is coming, and visitors and locals can get involved in the best food experiences the region has to offer. WORDS: Ingrid Nelson.

A

fter a two year-hiatus due to the pandemic, the Sunshine Coast’s most-anticipated culinary festival is finally making a comeback. Kicking off later this month with a fabulous line-up of events to suit all tastes and budgets, The Curated (side) Plate will showcase the plethora of talented growers, producers, tourism operators and chefs we have right here on our doorstep.

From July 29 to August 7, local restaurants, farms, tourism and event operators will open their doors to the public, offering the very best of the region’s local food and beverage experiences over a 10-day period.

From paddock to plate experiences to well-known local producers including Montville Coffee, Sunshine & Sons and Sunshine Coast Cider, plus plenty of hidden gems and collaborations between businesses to create unique culinary experiences, The Curated (side) Plate is set to put the region firmly on the map as one of Australia’s best foodie destinations.

According to 2022-2023 programme

co-ordinator Zoe Sparks, the response from local businesses has been even better than anticipated this year, with many unique experiences on offer.

“The exciting thing for us is that Sunshine Coast businesses have really embraced it; the take-up has been terrific,” Ms Sparks says.

“Events are coming back with a vengeance. Everyone is keen to get out and about and everyone loves food and wine.

Quite a few of the events are already sold out, which is terrific and shows people are super keen to come along and enjoy.”

With a focus on building from the ground up, Ms Sparks says this year’s event is all about showcasing the wonderful homegrown talent we have on the Sunshine Coast.

“It’s quite different to what we did in 2019,” she says. “It’s now a councilowned event, supported by the Food & Agribusiness Network, and we are making sure we have gone back to grass roots, focusing on local businesses and setting the foundations to grow the event year

“Everyone is keen to get out and about and everyone loves food and wine” Zoe Sparks after year. We want to bring our local businesses on the journey with us. We want to tell the world about our amazing chefs, restaurants and producers.”

There are more than 110 events on

offer, using an array of produce and event services from local businesses, with 5000 tickets available to the various schedule of events across the 10-day period.

“The program is sensational – there are over 85 businesses involved with events stretching from Caloundra to Eumundi offering so much variety,” Ms Sparks says.

“From great family events in the hinterland to degustations, lunch specials, masterclasses and workshops, there really is something for everyone and something for all budgets.

“You can easily come and stay here for a long weekend or even a week and be doing something different every day. As well as having a delicious food experience, you can also get hands on with a variety of masterclasses on offer.”

Blending tourism experiences with the best food and beverage providers on the Coast, The Curated (side) Plate is also a testament to the connection and creativity of our local businesses, with many coming together to provide a unique culinary experience. myweeklypreview.com.au

eating fermented foods and take home the fruits of your labour with a delicious sauerkraut to share with your family and friends. Following all the fermentation fun, enjoy a deliciously warming winter lunch using fresh, seasonal produce harvested from the farm, lovingly prepared by Frankie’s in Woombye.

Famous for blending foodie experiences with great entertainment in a unique atmosphere, NightQuarter at Birtinya is part of this year’s event and owner Michelle Christoe can’t wait to welcome it back to the region.

“We were excited for an opportunity to showcase what we do best as part of Curated Plate,” Ms Christoe says. “We are an incubator of food entrepreneurs at NightQuarter and we support local producers at Malt Shovel Taphouse so we are excited to be part of a region-wide festival that celebrates everything that the Sunshine Coast food scene has to offer.”

NightQuarter is offering three exciting events as part of the festival including a White Masquerade Picnic on August 4 at 6pm. “The picnic is an elegant soiree under the stars and twinkling lights of NightQuarter,” Ms Christoe says.

“White-clothed picnic tables will snake through NightQuarter from the Enchanted Garden to The Backyard where you will enjoy live entertainment from a harpist, roving masquerade stilt walkers and then dance the night away with smooth RnB funk and live sax with 42 Band. It’s the perfect setting for long conversations as the sun sets.”

Malt Shovel Taphouse is also collaborating with two of its local suppliers for two bespoke dining events including an exciting crab lunch and a special threecourse menu especially paired with gins from Sunshine & Sons distillery.

“It is important to promote the diversity of the Sunshine Coast and everything that it offers to the local community, their friends and tourists alike,” Ms Christoe says. “Food festivals create bonds within the community and an identity for the industry.

“The Sunshine Coast is an exciting foodie destination and it is an opportunity for further showcasing, to locals and visitors alike, that our local produce and food experiences are second to none. Yes, we are an amazing tourism destination for beaches and the hinterland… but not only that, the culture of food, drinks and entertainment here should be celebrated with events like The Curated Plate.”

According to Ms Sparks, the biggest problem for visitors to this year’s festival will be deciding which events to go to.

And with a number of events filling fast, and some already booked out, her advice is to get in early.

“Book as early as you possibly can; there are at least six or seven events already sold out,” she says. “Don’t leave it to the last minute because chances are you will be disappointed.”

“The collaborations that have come out of it have been terrific,” Ms Sparks says.

“For example, Sunshine & Sons distillery has joined with Silver Tongue foods for an event where you can enjoy a masterclass showing what’s involved in making and filling handmade donuts while Sunshine & Sons create their next batch of ‘Mr Barista’ coffee macadamia liqueur.”

With a rise in the popularity of paddock to plate and farm gate experiences, The Curated (side) Plate also offers plenty of opportunities to connect with our local growers and producers, while enjoying the freshest produce on offer.

“People are wanting to understand more about their food,” Ms Sparks says.

“We have become more health conscious.

We want it to be local, we want it to be fresh, we want it to be good quality.

“We are all interested in the environment and getting back to nature.

We want to know where our food comes from.

“The Food & Agribusiness Network [FAN] are a partner of The Curated Plate and have allowed us to connect with some of the region’s best growers and producers.”

FAN CEO Emma Greenhatch says the event is a fantastic council initiative which FAN is proud to support.

“It provides our Sunshine Coast members and the local business

community the opportunity to collaborate and show locals and visitors everything we have to offer,” Ms Greenhatch says.

“The event is designed to give all local businesses and producers a chance to shine and create further opportunities during The Curated Plate and all year round.”

A long lunch experience celebrating the amazing produce from one of our region’s best regenerative family farms is just one of the many paddock to plate events on offer.

The owner and chef of the thirdgeneration family business, Jack Madden has curated a delectable three-course menu featuring produce from the farm served with delectable matching wines.

ALIVE AND KICKING Marking 20 years of bringing arts and culture to the region, NOOSA alive! 2022 promises to be bigger and better than ever. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

n internationally recognised cultural festival that brings the best in arts and entertainment to the region will return this July as it celebrates 20 years.

NOOSA alive! is returning from July 21 to 31 and will feature events that organisers say have “never been seen before”.

Beginning in 2002 as The Noosa Long Weekend Festival, founders David and Kristin Williamson had a dream to shape Noosa’s arts and cultural scene, and with the support of patrons and supporters the event has grown and adapted to what it is today.

This year more than 25 events are happening across various locations showcasing performers, writers, filmmakers, musicians, artists, chefs, environmentalists and commentators.

Festival director Ian Mackellar says since the festival’s inception it has brought thousands of events and several exclusive performances to the region.

“Over the past two decades NOOSA alive! has presented the creme of local, national and international talent.

“One of those highlights was two exclusive Australian performances with nine principal soloists from the San Francisco Ballet Company to great public acclaim.

“NOOSA alive! has presented more than 2000 performances and varied events and more than 3500 performers, including special guests.”

Festival president Andrew Stafford says this year the popular Long Lunch on Hastings Street is returning, as well as a two-day Seaside Vibes music festival, a

Long Lunch on Hastings Street with curated performances.”

For sport and history lovers, Mr Stafford is recommending The Grigoryan Brothers’ This is Us performance at The J on July 25.

“This performance reflects on inspirational iconic objects from the National Museum of Australia through a suite of music and it’s a unique

“Our volunteers and I are especially proud to lead NOOSA alive! into its 20th year by celebrating with some big acts”

The Grigoryan Brothers multicultural comedy gala, plus a range of literary and cultural events.

“There is nothing like experiencing a live performance,” Mr Stafford says.

“Our volunteers and I are especially proud to lead NOOSA alive! into its 20th year by celebrating with some big acts such as Paul Kelly, James Morrison, Paris Underground, a Multicultural Comedy Gala and a return of popular Food with Film in conjunction with Slow Food Noosa.

“The highly sought-after ticket to the two-day Seaside Vibes music festival

graces our sands, capitalising on stunning Noosa Main Beach with names such as Tijuana Cartel, C.C. McKenzie, Dear Doonan, Shag Rock and more.

“The Beanies will entertain the children while Moonlight Serenade entices an operatic feast – sand under foot – and a jazz extravaganza will be a fitting close to the festival.

“We also have literary events, Noosa Regional Art Gallery exhibitions showcasing first nations artists Michael Cook and Fiona Foley, a Noosa hinterland offering and our special

performance curated exclusively for NOOSA alive!”

Mr Stafford hopes the festival will continue to grow and remain an important part of the social and cultural calendar for years to come.

“Thank you to everyone who has supported NOOSA alive! over the past 20 years. The support from attendees is invaluable and essential to enable Noosa’s arts and cultural fabric to intrigue each year.

“Live performances are important to our region and we want to keep delivering arts and cultural experiences for another 20 years to come.”

RECORD AMOUNT RAISED FOR MIX FM GIVE ME 5 APPEAL This year’s 92.7 Mix FM Give Me 5 appeal has raised a record funding amount to help young patients at local public hospitals.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, a mammoth $544,719 will be donated to Wishlist from the month-long appeal that saw several local business, volunteers and supporters attend a calendar of events throughout June.

Passionate in spearheading the campaign each year, breakfast radio hosts Mark Darin and Caroline Hutchinson are grateful for the support of the Sunshine Coast community in 2022, especially after what has been a difficult

financial time for many residents.

“We had to rebuild after COVID but we are back. We are just so excited with this number and can’t thank everyone enough,” a statement from the breakfast duo reads.

Proceeds from this year will go towards providing vital health staff positions to give greater access to services for children, as well as young pregnant women.

There are a handful of fundraising events still happening throughout July and August. For more information visit wishlist.org.au and find ‘Give Me 5’ under the ‘Get Involved’ tab.

REVIEW

CALOUNDRA GALLERY ART PRIZE FINALISTS ANNOUNCED Finalists for the region’s flagship 2D art prize have been announced ahead of an exhibition in Caloundra this August.

From an impressive Mirror by New South Wales 487 high-level entries artist Gerwyn Davies from across the nation, 40 finalists will now be judged for prizes including major winner, highly commended and people’s choice. Caloundra Regional Gallery manager and curator Jo Duke says the finalist works chosen will create an extraordinarily colourful and exuberant exhibition from August 26 to October 16. “Colour was a strong element within all the entries received, perhaps providing an outlet to our way of thinking and living during the past year,” Ms Duke says. “The exhibition balances between abstract, realism and impressionist style of making. It is also always wonderful to have several of our local artists showing alongside their national peers and we’re delighted to present them within the show.” Of the 16 Queensland artists selected as finalists, three Sunshine Coast locals made the grade with Alexandra Headland’s Jordyn Burnett, Coolum Beach artist Casey Hewitt and First Nations artist from Mount Mellum, Cholena Hughes. Winners will be announced by this year’s guest judge Ellie Buttrose on October 6, while the people’s choice prize is chosen by visitors to the exhibition.

NEW WASTE COLLECTION TRUCKS A fresh fleet of waste collection trucks, with sustainable thinking in mind, have been unveiled on the Sunshine Coast.

This new era, which include the region’s first electric waste vehicle, comes as family-owned company JJ’s Waste and Recycling takes local collection services and coincides with the start of Sunshine Coast Council’s expanded garden organics program. Mayor Mark Jamieson says the announcement will open more opportunities for the region to reach its goal of zero emissions by 2041. “In the beginning, the new fleet will include one electric vehicle, which will service public place bins in our community,” Mayor Jamieson says. “We also plan to trial a hydrogen fuel cell waste truck later this year and, depending on the success of the trials, determine how we might transition to electric or hydrogen fuel cell trucks in future years as technology matures.”

Sunshine Coast locals will soon be able to fly to New York City as a key international airline resumes services from Marcoola. On Saturday, Air New Zealand touched down at Sunshine Coast Airport, restarting direct trans-Tasman travel to Auckland. It coincides with Air New Zealand’s first-ever direct flights between Auckland and New York, starting on September 17. This means Coast residents will soon be able to fly four hours from Marcoola to Auckland and onwards 17 hours to New York. Last Saturday also marked the resumption of transTasman travel direct between Auckland and the Sunshine Coast, with Air New Zealand operating flights each Monday and Saturday until October 15.

JACK’S MILESTONE YEAR A Buderim resident and World War II veteran has been recognised by the RAAF after celebrating his 100th birthday. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

World War II centenarian is celebrating a momentous milestone – one he shares with the Royal Australian Air Force.

After celebrating his 100th birthday on January 18 this year, Buderim’s Jack Alsbury is being recognised for his service to the RAAF, which is also celebrating a century in 2022.

Born in Ballarat, Victoria, at the age of 20 Mr Alsbury enlisted in the RAAF, going on to serve as a leading aircraftman in the No.1 Airfield Construction Squad

TRIO OF AWARD WINNERS

in Papua New Guinea and Borneo.

“I am proud of my service in the RAAF and am extremely impressed that both I and the Air Force turned 100 in the same year,” Mr Alsbury says.

“I am grateful for the assistance and recognition they have given me and many other servicemen for many years.”

To commemorate his service, Mr Alsbury has been presented with framed Air Force centenary mementos after a visit from RAAF Group Captain Iain Carty from the Amberley base at Ipswich.

Maroochy RSL board member Jon Welch also presented Mr Alsbury with a certificate of recognition for his 60 years of RSL membership in Queensland. He has been a member of the RSL in Australia since 1944, in what is believed to be a record 78 years.

Mr Alsbury still lives at home by himself at EdenLea village in Buderim where he receives regular visits from the RSL welfare and assistance service through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

In 1944 he married his late wife Dorothy and the couple spent 70 years together. A carpenter by trade, in 1954 he built a family home for £2012, the equivalent of about $3500.

With three children, nine grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren, Mr Alsbury attributes reaching 100 to “hard work, regular exercise and doing what you are told”.

The veteran has marched every Anzac Day until this year and his proudest family moment was when he had four generations marching with him in 2015.

The keen Carlton supporter also enjoys regularly riding his three-wheel bike around EdenLea and is proud of the 8758 laps he has now completed.

Three projects in the region focusing on upgrades and revitalisations have been recognised at the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Awards.

A standout was the Nambour Forecourt revamp, taking out both the 2022 AILA QLD Landscape Architecture Award for Small Projects and the Regional Achievement Award.

The infrastructure upgrades along Sippy Downs Drive boulevard and entryway have been recognised with the Landscape Architecture Award for Infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the revitalisation of Cribb Street in Landsborough was a finalist in the Community Contribution category of the Landscape Architecture Awards.

AILA Queensland president Tessa Leggo says this year’s entries reflect Australia’s first-class landscape architectural sector. “Ranging from unique artist interventions to regional scale planning, landscape architecture is making a positive impact on how we interact with our spaces and places.”

The Nambour Forecourt revamp and Sippy Downs Drive will now proceed to the National Landscape Architecture Awards program.

RESPECTED ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT PLANS A well-known Buderim orthopaedic surgeon is set to hang up his scrubs after 37 years practising medicine.

Dr Tze-Ki (TK) Ho is a familiar face on the Sunshine Coast, helping patients in the region since 1994. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Dr Ho completed his medical training in Northern Ireland before moving to the Sunshine Coast to practice orthopaedics.

He began as the director of orthopaedics at Nambour General Hospital, before taking up his role at Buderim Private Hospital in 1996.

When Dr Ho first began practising on the Sunshine Coast, he says there were not many orthopaedic surgeons in the area, but over the years he has been able to

sub-specialise in shoulder surgery after completing a prestigious shoulder fellowship in Switzerland earlier in his career.

Reflecting on his long career with “too many patients to count”, Dr Ho says the most rewarding part is helping his patients and being part of a supportive medical community. “It is a pleasure for me to study the X-rays after an operation that confirm it went well and understand how much it will help my patient. I find this reassuring and rewarding,” Dr Ho says.

As his patients are usually treated for episodes of care, Dr Ho says he does not take offence when he is told: “As much as I like you and your work, I hope I don’t have to see you again.” He does enjoy when they stop him in the street to say hello.

It is the birth of his first grandchild that is inspiring the decision to retire, and Dr Ho looks forward to spending more time with his family. He says he will miss coming to work each day, especially after almost 30 years watching the hospital grow.

“I will miss interacting with all my colleagues and patients of course – it’s hard to say goodbye to people you are so happy to work alongside for so many years. I have watched the Buderim Private Hospital grow over the years from two theatres to eight and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here as the culture of staff is most precious.”

Acting director of clinical services Shane Mitchell says Dr Ho has been an asset to the hospital and wider community.

“On behalf of Buderim Private Hospital, we would thank you Dr Ho for his incredible service to the people of the Sunshine Coast over the past 25 years and wish him all the very best for a long and happy retirement,” he says.

MOOLOOLAH SPEED LIMIT REDUCED The speed limit on a busy section of Mooloolah Road in Mooloolah Valley has been reduced to improve safety.

Transport and Main Roads (TMR) North Coast acting regional director Bonnie Johnstone says the speed limit on a short section between Neill Road and Way Street has reduced from 60 kilometres per hour to 50 kilometres per hour.

“The new lower speed limit will align with the existing 50-kilometre per hour limit on the connecting Bray Road, providing a consistent speed through the Mooloolah Valley either side of the railway level crossing,” Ms Johnstone says.

The change comes after a speed limit review process where TMR considers a range of factors such as road function, roadside environment, construction standards, prevailing traffic speeds and crash history.

The Sunshine Coast Speed Management Committee, which includes representatives from the Queensland Police Service, Sunshine Coast Council and TMR, then endorse the reduction. The changes came into effect on July 11 and Ms Johnstone is urging all motorists to observe the change, which is outlined with new signage.

MY OPINION

A CASE FOR CHANGE

TIME TO STOP THE ABUSE

We can no longer be contained in our quest to use less plastic, writes Jane Stephens, who believes we can all do better.

As he nears retirement, Ashley Robinson is pondering his future, but he can guarantee it won’t be as a cab driver.

T

here is a certain buzz that comes with being first. It’s a heady feeling of breaking new ground, setting the pace and guiding others into pristine, uncharted territory.

When that first brings about a positive social change and might even make the world a little better (or at least not quite so bad) the result is an extra-positive high.

So it feels a bit sad for Queensland to yet again be a bit behind.

This month, the Queensland government announced it would ban lots of fiddly little plasticky items like cotton buds, disposable coffee cups, microbeads in beauty products and the mass release of lighter-than-air balloons.

Goodness knows it has been a long time coming, but the clamp will not be applied until next year to allow businesses to find alternatives. That’s all very good, but others are doing better.

Making Queensland looking like a scruffy laggard, South Australia this week removed liability from shops that let their customers bring their own plastic containers. They won’t make it compulsory, and vendors are still responsible for their food’s safety, but they have cleared the way.

We have known we had to change our plastic-dependent ways for years. We have learnt that for all its handiness, plastic is a long-lasting disaster for our world and we need to stop making more.

So it strikes me as strange that so many of us don’t act until we are made to, particularly with government data showing 90 per cent of us support more limits.

We have come a long way in a short time in adjusting our attitude. Remember the kerfuffle over phasing out plastic shopping bags? But we adapted. Last year, we said goodbye to straws, stirrers and expanded polystyrene and we’re doing okay.

The attitude with passing on plastic, and on changing our consumer behaviour generally, used to be ‘what difference can one person make?’

We now know the answer is lots when there are lots of ones. Communities have the power of transformation. So let’s get ahead of the government and encourage our local butchers, supermarkets, delis and food outlets to let us use our own containers.

Our community and environment need us not to wait for instructions to go that extra mile.

A

s I near retirement, redundancy or being put out to pasture, one thing I am 100 per cent sure of is I will need to find a job of some description to keep me out of the house for my own safety and old mate’s mental health.

I mentioned this to a friend of mine a few weeks ago and she suggested I take up Uber driving. I thought she was joking but after she made a few points I started to think it may be an okay idea. That was until recently. Fair dinkum, who would drive a taxi? I caught one the other night and from the moment I jumped in until I got home old mate complained about everything possible to do with taxi driving, Uber and the world in general.

Who the bloody hell would do the job, particularly the night shift, being at the mercy of every idiot in town. I guess the answer is people who want to work, who want to contribute to the economy. So shouldn’t those people be treated with respect and protected from knobs that can’t behave themselves? Bus drivers on public transport are the other victims of idiots; again there is little or no respect.

Some of these violent souls always have an excuse – alcohol, drugs, personal problems, someone made them do it – but I think we are all missing the point. Ask an Indian, Nepalese or Pakistan taxi driver what he thinks of an intoxicated Australian customer and they will usually just give you a smile and a shake of the head.

I have seen it, some bogan gets in the cab and starts calling them driver or cabbie instead of asking their name and by the end of the trip is hurling abuse, all because some poor soul is trying to earn a living.

It is about time judges in this country start punishing people for their actions, not slapping their wrists with a good behaviour bond. There has to be consequences, particularly for assault, physical or verbal, on an innocent party.

As the song goes, “we’re doing fine in the lucky country”. Well in my opinion we are being far too tolerant to the wrong people and less to the right people.

So I think I probably should keep looking for another line of work in semiretirement as I could easily end up a victim or a perpetrator, depending on which way the judge looked at it.

MY OPINION

A BITTER END Sami Muirhead’s heart goes out to former federal minister Julie Bishop, who has just been the victim of a public dumping.

I

was cringing as I read about the details of the break-up of former foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop and her beau of eight years. His name is David Panton and he is a successful businessperson who has been her plus one for a long time. But he reportedly dumped Jules at a restaurant, and not just any restaurant.

Eastbank restaurant in Sydney is a tourist trap where the menu warns diners that seagulls can swoop at any moment.

The stress of this alone sparks anxiety in me, let alone adding the fact this cad told Julie (surrounded by diners) that their relationship was over.

Ditched to the fancy curb. Ouch! A girl would not know if she should cover her chips from the swooping seagulls or hold her hand over her broken heart.

Tone-deaf Dave then went to the media and confirmed he had ended the union and went as far as saying it was during a meal of fish and chips at Eastbank. The guy is 61 and supposedly worldly and intelligent. Surely such matters should be conducted in private.

We all have a bad break-up story. I was once dumped just after I had forked out for two plane tickets to Sydney for this loser I

was dating. At least he had the decency to do it on the beach with no one around to witness my tears. I have been the dumper at times and once I ditched a guy because of his obsession with Spider-Man. He was a grown man and had a Spider-Man tattoo and a Spider-Man doona cover.

A girlfriend once ditched a bloke because he refused to wear fake tan.

Another friend broke up with a guy because he wore yellow denim jeans on the third date.

But back to our classy Julie. She and David the destroyer were at a dinner party hosted by Prince Charles at St James’s Palace in London just a week before their split. He has also been her date to dozens of red carpet events over the years.

Jules, I say drink lots of wine and go gentle on yourself. Watch chick flicks and eat pasta and chocolate. I recommend the movie The Vow or anything with Jennifer Lopez in it and endless Bounty bars with a hot water bottle in bed. You and your fabulous pearl earrings (the woman really does have amazing earrings) will bounce back before you can say “see you later loser”, and remember, today’s fish and chip wrapper is news about someone else tomorrow.

If you appreciate colour, don’t shy away from introducing it into your kitchen in a fun and fabulous way. We love the shot of vibrant blue as demonstrated in this Hamptons-style space.

Use lighting to inject style into your kitchen, but be sure that feature pieces are complemented by lights that have a broader reach. Downlights provide better coverage for a larger space. For a busy working area such as the kitchen, a combination of both task and ambient lighting is perfect. Pendants direct light down, which means they are well-suited as a feature or to highlight a particular area.

Avoid thinking of furniture simply as a convenience.

Rather, incorporate it into your design, or even use it as a statement feature. Boasting a sculptural silhouette and lavish upholstery, the Kasney barstool from Domayne is a great example of this. The elegant metal legs and curved profile will bring a contemporary vibe to your kitchen counter.

HOME STYLE

PAINT PREP Planning to paint the exterior of your home? The experts at Haymes Paint share their best tips and tricks to help you prepare.

1. DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF YOUR EXISTING PAINT To avoid blistering or flaking over time, it’s important to check the condition of your existing paint. Do this by cutting an X into the surface with a sharp knife or blade, press some masking tape firmly over the X and then pull it off in one swift motion. If any existing paint is stuck to the tape or lifts the edge of the X then the surface is not a suitable base and will need to be removed by scraping or sanding it back.

2. CLEAN THE SURFACE Thoroughly wash away any chalky residue, dirt, dust or mould from the surface. The easiest and most timeeffective way to clean a large area is by using a high-pressure washer.

3. START SANDING One of the most crucial preparation steps is sanding the exterior walls. This will even out, smooth and remove existing paint from the surface.

4. CHECK THE WEATHER When preparing to paint outdoors, the weather will play a vital role in the outcome. Stark, direct sunlight and

extreme heat make it difficult to get an even application as the paint will dry very quickly. Very windy conditions will also cause the paint to dry too quickly and can deposit dust onto the surface. Rain, of course, will cause the paint to run. Try to plan the paint job when there are mild temperatures and minimal wind.

5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT Finding a paint that will be able to withstand everything the Australian weather throws at it is very important.

It’s recommended that you use a high-quality acrylic exterior paint such as Haymes Solashield as this is a specifically formulated exterior paint.

As it is an acrylic base, it has a high UV resistance and will last longer than solvent-based enamel paints.

6. STAY SAFE Look up! When moving ladders or planks around your site don’t forget to look for overhead power lines. Also, when using ladders and work platforms ensure they have a firm footing so you can stand on them safely. Modern-day equipment contains self-levellers on the legs.

There are many benefits to using native and indigenous plants in your home garden. Not only will they provide a habitat for local fauna, but these plants are also drought friendly.

According to the Australian Government’s Your Home website, “Sustainable landscaping works with the natural landscape and cycles. A sustainable garden uses a wide range of plants from different structural categories, such as trees, screening shrubs, medium shrubs, low shrubs, groundcovers, strappy plants and grasses, climbers, perennials and bulbs. This kind of ‘structural’ diversity encourages wildlife into the landscape.”

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NATIVE AND INDIGENOUS PLANT? Native plants are all plants from Australia; indigenous plants are those specific to a particular place. Avoid plants that are considered an invasive or unwanted species in your region.

Source: yourhome.gov.au

THE PLANTS According to information from Sunshine Coast Council, species found on the Coast include eucalypts, banksias, acacias, melaleucas, sheoaks, a myriad of rainforest and health species, and mangroves and pandanus that fringe waterways and coastal areas. There are local community native nurseries that offer free advice on choosing plants, species and maintenance.

NDIS FEATURE “Our disability and aged-care courses are a great opportunity for those who have been out of work or have not been able to find stable employment. We have many parents who want to re-enter the workforce as well as retail and hospitality workers who are looking for a positive change in their lives,” Ms Du-Shane says.

A career in care can be challenging at times but the rewards are huge. Benefits include flexible working hours, job availability and security, versatility and opportunities for professional development. Work can be found anywhere in Australia and there is the satisfaction that comes from knowing you are making a difference.

Once students have enrolled in the course, they are supported from start to finish by the trainers and the facilitators, who are always available to assist. This is the STEPS difference.

Ms Du-Shane reflects on how quickly students progress through the course and achieve a positive outcome.

“In my last class, most of our recently graduated students were offered a job before they even finished the course,” she says. “I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to be able to help people find employment in a career they love.”

Along with studying in a supportive environment, STEPS is offering students the chance to be trained in the brandnew facility in Caloundra.

CALOUNDRA TRAINING FACILITY OFFERS NEW OPPORTUNITIES

M

otivated to get people into jobs that help their community, one of the Sunshine Coast’s leading care education providers, STEPS Education & Training, has opened a brand-new training facility in the heart of Caloundra on Bulcock Street.

The disability and aged-care industries are currently in high demand, with a predicted 74,900 new job offerings and a 28 per cent increase in the next five years, according to the National Skills Commission.

STEPS is offering exciting opportunities for those who wish to

start their careers in these industries with a fully funded Certificate III in Individual Support for eligible participants.

STEPS trainer Annette Du-Shane, a longtime member of the STEPS training team, say moving into care can become a rewarding a career.

If you are interested in a job that makes a difference in the lives of others, head along to the STEPS Aged Care & Disability Career Information Night on Wednesday, July 27 from 6pm to 7pm at 25 Bulcock Street, Caloundra.

Alternatively, you can contact STEPS on 5436 6000 or email training@stepsgroup.com.au.

Adults with intellectual disability who would like to be a part of an exciting new program are invited to take part in Latch-On. Latch-On is an innovative, evidencebased literacy program that changes the lives of young adults with intellectual disabilities. The program provides opportunities for students to increase their literacy skills in a post-secondary school environment, using technology to enhance literacy, self-confidence, independence and work placement opportunities. Latch-On combines traditional literacy and numeracy teaching styles with technology instruction, also including health and fitness education.

The program has been developed

by The University of Queensland and is backed by more than 20 years of research.

WHAT’S ON

within your NDIS plan. Suncare’s committed team of support coordinators will draw from their deep understanding of the NDIS, disability sector and providers to help you take control of your plan, make the most of your funding, connect with the community and live the life you choose.

Psychosocial recovery coaching is available to NDIS participants with a psychosocial disability. A psychosocial recovery coach will help you understand and make the most of your NDIS plan, and provide coaching and support with recovery planning. Psychosocial recovery coaching is an opportunity to take more control over your life and to better manage any challenges you may encounter.

In the midst of technical terms, complicated descriptions and multiple options, sometimes all it takes is a cuppa and a chat with someone who understands the process and can guide you through it. You have what it takes to make your life what you want it to be – all you may need is a little support to go from strength to strength.

There is a great support network on the Sunshine Coast for people to connect and discover what assistance is available to them.

We have compiled a list of some interesting and informative events coming up this month.

For more information on NDIS support contact Suncare on 1800 786 227 or visit suncare.org.au/services/ndis.

There are social programs designed for everyone, at any age as well!

They are specifically: • DSQ Club for adults.

• DSQ Teens for teenagers.

• DSQ Kids for primary school -aged children.

2. Latch-On Latch-On is an innovative, evidence-based literacy program that changes the lives of young adults with intellectual disabilities.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Relations with a friend could be strained, and the more you try to organise them, the worse things will be. Avoid getting drawn into pointless power plays. The best way you can help loved ones is to support them in practical ways as they pursue their ambitions.

This week looks stressful at home.

Your ambitious aspirations still have a good chance of manifesting, but you must be proactive, patient and persistent. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Nelson Mandela: ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’

The stars boost your personal magnetism – and your manipulative side. Pluto gives you an energy surge that increases your desire to be in charge. But, if you want to avoid unnecessary power struggles and unpleasant dramas, refrain from trying to control others.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Restless Sagittarius, ‘keep moving forward and don’t look back’ is your current motto. You’re keen to call the shots, but bossy behaviour will only lead to confrontation, so slip on your humility hat instead.

Attached archers, listen (carefully) to what your partner is saying.

This week (courtesy of transformative Pluto) an obstacle could be placed in your path or you could be drawn into a power struggle with a relative. Don’t stress and obsess! Sometimes hurdles help you slow down and see the path ahead more clearly.

Avoid being disruptive and getting drawn into pointless disputes with friends. This week will work best if you keep your nose out of other people’s business and concentrate on pursuing personal projects.

Mercury and Jupiter encourage fiery bursts of inspiration.

If you’re involved with a group or club, expect power plays or personality clashes. There could also be a problem involving a hope or wish that you have for the future.

Don’t give up on your dreams!

Keep moving towards your goals with gusto and perseverance.

TRAVEL GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK WITH SURF GETAWAYS

TRAVEL FEATURE

HOLIDAYS THAT DELVE DEEPER

THE THINKING PERSON’S CRUISE We all travel to explore, to learn, to understand. Viking believes travel should be more than just a trip – it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That is why Viking’s cruise itineraries are designed to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, culture, countryside and customs.

Onboard activities are designed for enrichment and renewal, offering lectures on history and art, cooking demonstrations and libraries stocked with books. On shore, you might accompany the ship’s chef to a local market; go behind the scenes at a famous theatre company, or view a museum’s private collection. Viking’s aim is to help guests feel more connected.

Viking has been setting the standard in cruising for more than 25 years and has an award-winning fleet of more than 80 state-of-the-art river, ocean and expedition ships.

You won’t find any kids, casinos, formal events or butlers on Viking cruises.

Instead, the focus is on delivering you meaningful experiences, providing the opportunity to learn and engage with each destination.

Viking’s ocean vessels – classified as small ships – are some of the newest in the

industry. With just 930 guests, they are perfectly sized to dock in smaller ports and can sail right into some of the world’s biggest cities, getting you to the very heart of your destination. The ships’ minimalistic, sleek and modern design is reminiscent of their Scandinavian roots.

Every stateroom, regardless of category, comes with a private verandah, and they include much more than you would expect. You’ll enjoy beer and wine with lunch and dinner, Wi-Fi, self-service laundry, a shore excursion in every port, all gratuities and port taxes and entry to the onboard Nordic spa.

Book that Viking voyage you have been dreaming of while taking advantage of incredible savings by August 4, 2022.

CRUISING INTO CONVENIENCE WITH PRINCESS With so many restrictions and changes to travel over the past two years, I was curious and excited to experience one of the first cruises to resume in Australia.

Princess made it extremely easy by taking all our personal information in the lead-up to the cruise so that getting through the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal was a breeze. Once onboard, aside from remembering to wear a mask when entering the restaurants, it was very much a holiday as normal.

The friendly Princess staff were always at hand to welcome and help us.

The Medallion app offered us more convenience than ever, with the ease of having all our food, drinks and even room amenities delivered to us anywhere on the ship with the tap of our phone.

Be it a poolside margarita or a late-night dessert delivered to your cabin, the service from the staff was impeccable.

We were spoilt for choice when it came to dining, with multiple restaurant options as well as 24-hour room service.

For me, the beauty of cruising is that there’s really something for everyone and guests can do as much or as little as they like. Sleep in or join one of the complimentary fitness classes, lounge by the pool and watch the big screen movies under the stars or relax in one of the hot tubs and listen to live music.

You can choose to wander the shops of the atrium, explore the art gallery or enjoy a quiet moment in the library. At night try your luck at the Princess Casino, enjoy a Broadway-style show at the Princess Theatre or choose from a range of entertainment such as stand-up comedy, trivia and live music performances.

After a wonderfully relaxing and indulgent three nights at sea, the only thing I’m left wondering is when I go again.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE OUTBACK Now’s the time to book an unforgettable 10-day luxury bus tour with CT Travel.

The journey of discovery over the aweinspiring South Australian Outback starts on October 23. From that day onwards you can count on having the time of your life as you discover the natural amphitheatres and two billion-year-old forged landscapes of the southern outback. This tour is designed both for your absolute comfort and to provide you with an unforgettable experience.

This itinerary includes touring Adelaide, the Clare Valley, the iconic Marree Hotel (with Outback sightseeing flights) and the Flinders/Gammon Ranges in the Far North.

In Port Augusta, at the head of the Spencer Gulf, you will be introduced to the Far North region at the Wadlata Outback Centre. Then, at the old rail head town of Marree – at the junction of the Oodnadatta and Birdsville tracks – you will spend two

nights with a sightseeing flight to see the ‘Marree Man’, the world’s largest work of art and one of Australia’s greatest whodone-it mysteries in recent times. Standing over four kilometres in height and 28 kilometres around the circumference, this extraordinary work is a viewing must.

From there, it’s on to the Flinders/ Gammon Ranges for two nights at Arkaroola. Largely unknown, Arkaroola is one of Australia’s true tourism gems.

After a fascinating 10 days uncovering the lively and diverse communities with their rich and industrious history and being captivated by the isolation of the ancient lands, there is no doubt you will have found the Australian Outback an utterly amazing place to visit, and you will be left with the feeling that you have accomplished an extraordinary adventure.

TIME FOR A CHANGE OF HOUSING POLICIES A new report suggests government first homebuyer assistance schemes have unintended negative consequences. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

R

EIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella has called for the First Home Owners’ Grant availability to be extended beyond the limitations of new constructions or the purchase of a new home, saying that because of these constraints, the grant has become “virtually redundant”.

She says the latest Queensland government budget, announced at a time when construction of new homes has ground to a screeching halt, has missed a valuable opportunity to implement key reforms and bring forward creative solutions to assist Queenslanders towards home ownership.

“Despite a construction sector in crisis, and the government itself conceding that builders and building supplies are rare as hens’ teeth, the First Home Owners’ Grant continues to overlook established housing, remaining restricted to new construction,” Ms Mercorella says.

“With rising construction costs and financial entry barriers making building or purchasing a brand-new home simply unfeasible for many first homebuyers, surely it’s time to extend this initiative to established housing options.”

Meanwhile, a report undertaken for the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) this month reveals Australian governments spent more than $20.5 billion supporting first homebuyers (FHBs) in the decade to 2021 through FHB grants, stamp duty concessions and other cash grants. The report, Assisting First Homebuyers: an International Policy Review, asked if such assistance expanded access to home ownership to those whose entry would be otherwise delayed or impossible or made the cost of home

ownership more affordable and less risky.

Research found the Australian FHB assistance measures primarily act to bring forward first home purchase by households already close to doing so, rather than opening home ownership access to households otherwise excluded.

In doing so, these measures add to demand and hence house prices.

Direct Collective managing director Mal Cayley says in essence the report is correct. He says FHB schemes are a typical government policy with great intent that

fail in the execution as they are not solving the core issue.

“FHB have market entry affordability issues due to a lack of supply. If there was sufficient supply then there would be more competition in the market for buyers and property would be more affordable.

“It is a typical policy of pretending to solve issues by promoting a popular policy that is easy to digest and therefore ‘vote worthy’, when in effect, FHB grants, in a supply crisis, harm first homebuyers.”

He says the effects of the pandemic, massive increase in construction costs and supply chain challenge have contributed to fewer properties in the market but a growing population to consume them.

“With fewer properties to meet demand, competition is high and those who can afford more can outbid the market.”

He says there is only answer to make property affordable for FHB and that is supply. “We need a dramatic, pivoting change in housing policy to deal with this crisis. We need all kinds of built form, predominately the missing middle (homes such as units, terrace homes, duplex etcetera), in all price categories to unblock the system.”

T

he last block of land on the dry side of Oceanic Drive South, Wurtulla fetched $1,325,000 at a weekend auction.

Ray White real estate agent Adam Budd says there were six registered bidders and on the day there were three active bidders, with a crowd of 75 people turning up for the big event.

“The bidding started at $750,000 and went up in increments of $100,000,” Mr Budd says.

Finally, after a slight pause and words with the potential buyers, Mr Budd says the property reached the successful selling price.

“He then decided that based on the current climate it was time to sell.”

A family from Little Mountain purchased the property with the goal of building their dream home on it.

North Shore Realty agent Jay Pashley says both vendor and buyer were delighted with the sale price of

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Hello peeps. Well the good news is there should be a few cheeky waves around and word is you might get rewarded for braving the cold – one friend scored a certain point at three-foot by himself for an hour until a few friendly locals joined him. It is a bit hit and miss but the day you don’t check is the day you regret. J-bay has started so should be worth watching.
