There’s a buzz of excitement in the air on the Sunshine Coast, with new low-cost airline Bonza making the much-anticipated announcement it is finally ready for takeoff. Bonza will initially be offering flights to 13 regional destinations across Australia. The budget carrier is the first new major airline for Australia since Tiger Airways launched more than 15 years ago.

No doubt the new airline will also put downward pressure on airfares, which is always good news (turn to page 16 for the full story).

Stretched renters could soon get relief as the pace of rental growth starts to slow. Renters endured the fastest growth on Corelogic’s records last year, with rock-bottom vacancy rates driving national rents up by 10.2 per cent.

But December quarter rental data shows the pace of growth slowing to two per cent in the final three months of 2022.

This follows 2.3 per cent growth in the September quarter and the peak three per cent rate of growth in the three months to May.

PropTrack data, released on the same day, also showed rental price growth steadying in the December quarter.

And while the pace of growth is starting to ebb in line with a slight seasonal easing in vacancy rates and tenants hitting the limit of what they can afford, Corelogic’s head of research Eliza Owen says tenants have a while to wait before prices actually start falling.

“Rents are still rising in most capital cities and regional areas with vacancy rates low,” Ms Owen says.

Homelessness Australia head Kate Colvin says vulnerable renters are falling deeper into housing stress.

FOR RENTERS

“These figures are alarming and further proof that more Australians are doing it tough, plunging deeper or for the first time into housing stress and poverty,” she says.

“The dreadful stories we keep hearing of people sleeping in cars and skipping meals will sadly continue.”

Ms Colvin called on the government to ease pressure on renters in the May budget, including upping Commonwealth Rent Assistance payments and putting more money into social housing.

Looking forward, Corelogic says the outlook for the rental market is mixed.

Ms Owen says the return of normal migration patterns, which the government forecasted in its population statement recently, will keep upward pressure on rents, especially in popular parts of Sydney and Melbourne.

Plus, the Reserve Bank’s interest rate hiking cycle will slow property investment by limiting the amount that can be borrowed, weighing on supply.

But a seasonal uplift in new listings is expected in early 2023, which will improve choice and ease some of the pressure on rents.

Labor’s state conference in November backed a motion to legalise the possession of small quantities of the drug for personal use.

The resolution also called for pill testing at locations such as festivals, and a full review of the lawenforcement approach to personal drug use compared with the costs and benefits of an alternate, diversionary approach.

The Queensland government has no immediate plan to respond to the vote, saying it has many other more serious priorities, but is committed to eventually reviewing the state’s drug laws in the future.

“The Palaszczuk government has committed to exploring how we can improve the criminal justice system to provide a broader range of available responses to low-harm offending and ensure that the system concentrates the resources of courts and prisons on the most serious matters,” a spokesperson for Acting Attorney-General Meaghan Scanlon says.

“In response to the second report published by the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce, the Queensland government said that it would give consideration to the need to review the Drugs Misuse Act 1986.”

Support has been growing nationally and around the world for legalising and decriminalising recreational marijuana use.

Legalising recreational cannabis use is not in the immediate plans of the Queensland government, despite the state’s ruling Labor Party voting for the policy last year.

The key ceremony is a (perhaps now not-so-very) secretive meeting of some powerful people who have a staggering amount of control over the internet. As reported by The Guardian, these seven keyholders are handpicked security experts who meet quarterly and whose individual digital keys “create a master key, which in turn controls one of the central security measures at the core of the web”. Every time they meet, they flush out fake and dangerous web addresses.

Quote of the week

Things happen in our bodies that we have no control over. For instance, most of us can’t control the size of our pupils unless we do something such as alter the amount of light that is directed into our eyes. But in a study published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology in 2021, researchers observed a man who can apparently change the size of his pupil on command: the only known individual able to do this.

If you were an early internet user, the hair-raising sounds of dial-up connection are probably burned into your head. But for those who don’t remember, this was the way people accessed the internet before broadband connections. It used an analogue modem and a phone line to basically ‘call’ the other end and decode an audio signal. The limitation of dial-up was that no one in the house could use the phone if someone was on the internet. The data speeds were abysmal, compared with what we are used to today.

Every little money goal counts

and little ‘wins’ are the keys to good management. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Money, money, money. It’s a popular ABBA song, but it can be a not-so-popular topic when it comes to budgeting and making your money work for you.

While money might not buy happiness, being in control of your finances surely does. And as interest rates and the cost of living continues on an upward trend, more Sunshine Coast families are feeling the financial pinch.

For many residents, having appropriate money goals in place can help ease financial pressures. The beginning of the year is a great time to focus on building good habits around money management.

The current official cash rate, as determined by the Reserve Bank of Australia, is 3.10 per cent, compared with just 0.1 per cent in January 2022.

The rates rise saw refinancing levels hit $13.4 billion in November 2022, breaking a new Australian Bureau of Statistics record for owner-occupier refinancing.

Monthly owner-occupier refinancing has remained above $12 billion since June 2022, well above the pre-pandemic levels.

Troy Sussman

Investors are also borrowing less, with new investor housing loan commitments falling 3.6 per cent.

When it comes to managing your money, Think Investment Properties CEO Troy Sussman tells My Weekly Preview that prioritising budgeting can

keep you focused on your money goals and benefit other areas in your life.

“Having a budget, or money goal as I like to refer to it as, helps keep your mind clear and fresh,” Mr Sussman says.

“Money stress flows through all components of your life and will not allow you to be focused on what is important.”

To come up with your personal money goals, he says the first step is to write down the goals to keep focused and accountable.

“Don’t set over-the-top goals and try to solve them all at once. Set mini goals,” he says.

“Stick to the basics and work from there. I am a big believer in the one per centers – every one per cent all adds up.”

He also recommends clear communication with your partner about money goals.

“Allocate yourself and your partner pocket money each week so you don’t go without.

“This will allow your splurge but you know your budget.”

MORE COST-OF-LIVING RELIEF ON THE CARDS

The federal Treasurer has flagged more cost-of-living relief in the budget if the government can afford it.

Setting the scene for his second budget to be delivered on May 9, Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the slowing global economy and higher interest rates would weigh on Australia’s growth prospects.

While a recession is not expected in Australia, a third of the world’s economies are anticipated to endure extended periods of contraction.

“Inflation remains our dominant concern, even on the other side of its peak, as global price pressures coming at us from around the world continue to be felt around the kitchen table,” Dr Chalmers says.

“We are in a stronger position than most countries but still more vulnerable than we’d like to be to international shocks.”

The government is already taking steps to ease financial pressure on households, including electricity bill relief, cheaper childcare and higher wages for aged-care workers.

“If there are additional measures we can afford to put in place, of course we’ll consider them,” Dr Chalmers says.

Budget repair remains a key challenge as demand for government services grows and the interest bill on debt continues to balloon. – AAP

HOW TO MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU

With the ever-increasing financial pressure on many households, Queensland Country Bank’s business development manager Tristan Scott says the team recognised an opportunity to assist its members with some day-today budgeting.

The Maroochydore branch offers appointments with a SmartBudget specialist where customers can create a personal budget, or agreement, to ensure all nominated bills and expenses are in the one place online.

“We have found that many people want to do the right thing, and plan to meet their key commitments every month,” Mr Scott says.

“However, they can sometimes just lack the confidence and ability to be organised.

“For many people in their financial lives, getting on top of their budget in the first five to 10 years of their working lives is the key to long-term success.

“Statistics show that those who can

grow their knowledge and create the best habits will have a stronger chance of maintaining a positive financial record, saving for a house, breaking the rent cycle, and one day owning their own home.”

Mr Scott says the key benefits of setting up a personal budget include easing bill shock, paying bills on time and potentially saving money.

He says customers can set up insurances, rent, mortgage, council rates, electricity, gas, water, phone, internet, loan and credit card payments, car registration, school fees, and gym and sporting memberships to be paid from the agreement account.

Mr Scott says a common budgeting mistake is not understanding weekly income versus the average weekly expenditure a person is already committed to.

“These errors in judgment can lead to the biggest mistake of all: to waste time (months or years) without moving forward financially, and possibly running into financial trouble by missing a key commitment.”

Tristan Scott’s top money tips

1. Get educated. There is no shame in admitting that you find this hard. Many people do.

2. Understand your complete budget. Growing your knowledge creates confidence and a sense of expectation.

3. Set clear and achievable goals. Understanding your bottom line can help you set quarterly and annual goals.

4. Make long-term plans. Don’t just focus on the immediate. What would you like to achieve in five years?

5. Make change today. Don’t ask yourself these same questions in 12 months’ time. If your current method is not working, why stick with the same approach?

When it comes to budgeting, the regular grocery shop can sometimes bring an unwelcome sting to the hip pocket.

With the cost of living seeing some prices in supermarkets skyrocket, money experts say it pays to know ways to make your dollar stretch further.

The Finder Consumer Sentiment Tracker shows that the average Aussie household spends $155 per week on groceries. This amount is expected to be higher, depending on the number of people within the household or if living in a regional area.

The Finder data shows that, of the generations, millennials pay the most for their groceries ($170), followed closely by Generation X ($166). Baby boomers keep costs lower, spending an average of $133 per household per week. On average, men spend more per week at $160, over women who spend $151.

Finder credit card expert Amy Bradney-George says more than a third of Australians (34 per cent) put grocery shopping as one of their top-three most-stressful experiences.

But she says there are many ways buyers can be savvy to keep the cost of shopping manageable – particularly if you look for in-season produce or consider cutting back on items impacted by recent inflations.

“With almost everything in the supermarket going up in price (although lettuce is notably back down to about $3

per head), buying groceries is causing a lot of stress,” she says.

“There are still ways to save – such as shopping for in-season fruit and vegetables or checking out local farmers’ markets for great deals.

“Finder research has also shown cutting back on meat can save you over $1844 a year.

“Inflation has led to a rise across meat, poultry and seafood, with beef and veal seeing the biggest increase of 12.1 per cent in the year to 2022. So, cutting back will help you save.”

Finder’s tips on how to save money on groceries:

• shop at night

• use an app for specials and savings

• go to Aldi for staples

• buy in bulk

• meal plan and make a list

• make enough to have leftovers

• buy frozen or tinned

• go to specialty stores

• find a co-op or farmers’ market

• collect Flybuys/Everyday Rewards

• check out imperfect foods

• buy the store brand

• buy in season

• consider cutting back on meat

• avoid or substitute specialty ingredients

• store your food correctly

• leave your kids at home

• buy from the back

• return unsatisfactory items

• find discounted gift cards.

A BONZA START TO THE NEW AVIATION YEAR

The Sunshine Coast-based airline will open up the skies to new destinations and tourism prospects up and down the east coast.

Sunshine Coast-based Bonza –dubbed Australia’s only independent low-cost carrier – has the all-clear for takeoff.

The airline has been granted its Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and is finalising its preparations to go on sale. Its first wave of flights out of the airline’s home base on the Sunshine Coast is expected soon.

Bonza has been working collaboratively with the regulator towards connecting

communities by gradually introducing its initial route map of 17 destinations and 27 routes – 93 per cent of which are not currently served by any other airline and 96 per cent of which currently have no low-cost carrier.

Bonza CEO Tim Jordan says the approval is a significant milestone.

“This is an historic moment for Australian aviation as we get ready to launch the first high-capacity airline in more than 15 years, and the country’s only

independent low-cost carrier,” he says.

“The excitement for what we are about to deliver is palpable and the timing couldn’t be better.

“Demand for domestic travel is high and Aussies deserve for travel to be a basic right for many, not a luxury for the few.

“This has never been truer with today’s cost of living challenges.

“With the approval from CASA, 2023 is set to be the year of seeing more of your own backyard for less.”

It’s been almost two years since the carrier burst on to the scene, but Bonza will soon go on sale with its Sunshine Coast base followed by its Melbourne base.

The airline recently completed its initial Sunshine Coast-based fleet, with the arrival of Sheila

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie is pleased to receive the news on the green light for Bonza and says it will be beneficial to Sunshine Coast tourism.

“This is fantastic news and a great way to kick off 2023,” Mr Brodie says.

“Bonza will now be able to go on sale and commence flights before the month is over.

“The destinations Bonza is opening up for regional travellers is a game-changer for Australians and they are also providing a critical pathway in unlocking new market opportunities for business to explore. It is going to be exciting to watch and see how things evolve now that travel between the Sunshine Coast and these new destinations just became a whole lot easier.”

Bonza’s commencement of services will bring an additional 772,000 seats into Sunshine Coast Airport and generate about $86 million in domestic visitor spend in the first 12 months of operation.

Mr Jordan is encouraging Aussies to download the Fly Bonza app and sign up to be the first to know when its initial phase of flights will be up for grabs.

The airline’s digital approach means the app will be the only place to book, with the exception of registered local travel agents.

A digital support centre will assist customers with queries or those who choose to receive support with making their booking.

“I’d like to thank our team of legends who have worked very hard to achieve today’s milestone, working alongside CASA who do incredibly important work regulating Australian aviation,” Mr Jordan says.

“Now, our focus turns to connecting communities and we hope to see many Aussies on board soon.”

“Receiving this esteemed award highlights the amazing work undertaken by our dedicated team across council,” Cr Landsberg says.

“Successfully being awarded a Green Flag Award acknowledges the overall vision for Kings Beach Park and Community Precinct to capture the mountains-to-the-sea character of the city.

A PREMIER PARK FOR THE PEOPLE

One of the Coast’s most popular beachside precincts has been recognised with a prestigious Green Flag Award.

Anatural and unique part of the Sunshine Coast has gained international recognition that could further boost its appeal, along with business and tourism.

After an extensive judging process, the Kings Beach Park and Community Precinct has been awarded the Green Flag Award.

It is only the fourth Queensland park

Winning an award brings with it a wealth of benefits – from the status of being affiliated with a prestigious awards program through to tangible benefits such as boosting tourism and opening up revenue opportunities.

“The vision also complements and reflects the natural and unique environments of Caloundra and provides a safe, family-oriented recreation and leisure precinct with opportunities for economic and social benefits.”

Parks and gardens manager Nicholas Coluccio says maintaining open spaces the community loves to enjoy is one of the council’s main priorities.

“Many of our staff work tirelessly in maintaining this particular park and I’m really proud that their work has been recognised,” Mr Coluccio said.

The council also recently has been recognised at a state and national level for the Sunshine Coast Recreation Parks Plan 2021-2031.

LOOK OUT! WE’RE MOBILE AND DANGEROUS

The runaway success of e-scooters is causing worrying concerns about rider safety, speeding and other problems. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Aspate of recent e-scooter crashes is prompting an urgent safety reminder from Sunshine Coast Police.

It comes as an increasing number of underage riders over the school holidays have been flouting the law, sparking complaints from concerned residents.

On January 3, two teenagers were flown to hospital after the e-scooter they were riding crashed into a car at

Alexandra Headland. While investigations are ongoing, Queensland Police said initial information indicated that a 13-year-old Mountain Creek boy was riding an e-scooter with a 13-year-old Buderim girl as a passenger.

Then, between January 8 and 12, four patients were taken to hospital in separate e-scooter incidents at Mountain Creek, Buderim, Currimundi and Aroona.

Highway Patrol officer-in-charge

Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho says the recent incidents raise several concerns that all personal mobility device (PMD) operators, and parents of children using them, should be aware of.

He also confirmed an increase in complaints relating to e-scooters, especially after Christmas, when the number of young riders had jumped.

PMDs can include e-scooters, e-bicycles, e-skateboards or selfbalancing one- or two-wheel devices.

“Sunshine Coast Police would like to remind parents that children under 12 years must not ride personal mobility devices,” he says.

“Children over 12 years and under 16 years must be supervised by an adult whilst using a personal mobility device.

“You must not carry another person when riding a personal mobility device – not even children.

“When you ride a personal mobility device, you must wear an Australian Standard-approved bicycle helmet or an approved motorbike helmet. You must securely fit and fasten it.”

Mountain Creek residents Paul and Christine Nichols have expressed their concerns as they continue to see youths dangerously riding in their neighbourhood.

“We are staggered by the number of

young people – a lot of the time, two on a scooter – racing around at breakneck speeds,” Mr Nichols says.

He says the majority of riders he sees are not wearing a helmet and often using a mobile phone while riding at speed.

“We are not against the e-scooters and e-bikes, just very concerned for the safety of the riders and people around them,” Mr Nichols says.

On November 1 last year, new laws came into effect to further legislate the use of personal PMDs.

Updates to the legislation included reducing the speed limit to 12km/h on footpaths and shared paths, unless otherwise signed.

The 25km/h limit applies everywhere else. That includes bike lanes, as well as local streets.

Riders can now be fined up to $1078 for dangerous offences involving speed, use on prohibited roads, and holding a mobile phone while riding.

Riders must comply with all general road rules, including stopping at a red light and signalling, either with indicator lights or hand signals.

PMD riders who break the road rules will be given the same fines as motorists, but will not accumulate demerit points.

For a full list of the rules, search ‘Rules for personal mobility devices’ at qld.gov.au.

* All events were correct at time of printing.

Jane Stephens is disgusted that an apparent growing lack of respect for others is bringing out the excrement of human behaviour.

Pand instinctively believe the best of people.

But sometimes humans show themselves to be a new kind of underclass – a filthy animal that doesn’t even look after its pack.

Rosemount Nursery took to its Facebook page recently to lay out some uncomfortable truths.

People were entering staff-only areas.

They were going in via the exit. People were haring through the carpark without regard for people lugging their plants and gardening paraphernalia.

And then the worst and smelliest bits of all: people who brought their pups were not always picking up their poop.

Imagine that! At a business premises, a dog drops a landmine and the owner (presumably after looking furtively to ensure there are no witnesses) saunters away, leaving a steaming heap in their wake. Who does that?

People who think they can get away with it, that’s who.

Remember at the end of 2021, when Sea Shepherd volunteers did a beach

clean at Mudjimba dog beach and, in one hour, picked up 180 used dog-waste bags weighing in a 25kg?

But wait, there is more. At the beautiful Rosemount Nursery, people also fail to clean up after themselves, leaving the toilets is a disgusting state. Let your mind run beyond wastepaper bins that are overflowing and get really down and dirty and you will get the picture.

I find myself wondering whether the uncivilised creeps who leave such an unsanitary jumble in a public facility also live in squalor, but I suspect they save their grossest moments for other people to clean up. And that is the nub of their problem: there is a growing number of people who lack respect for others.

They see those who serve them or provide a space as less, as servants, as lowly. They see a service or the provision of goods as a free pass to act in a slovenly and boorish way – the result of which is someone else’s problem.

The skin-crawling, gag-inducing truth of it is that we are all dragged down by the behaviour of the worst of us. And there are some people whose behaviour shows them to be the worst of the animals.

HOW TO FINISH LIFE’S GREAT RACE

Ashley Robinson has been doing some strategising and is in training to run the final years of his life to a plan based on peace and happiness.

Welcome to 2023. Some of this I may have repeated in previous years, but it’s the third weekend and I haven’t broken any of my new year resolutions – not yet anyway.

Another year and a reminder for self that I might be on the last lap in life’s big race. Maybe even in the home straight.

My Dad died at 66, which means I could have just this year to go. It could be more, hopefully, but I am working on the less-is-more theory. I have decided to say ‘yes’ to things I have usually put off for another time, and definitely say ‘no’ to stuff I don’t want to do.

A new diet: I’m trying to come up with one that doesn’t impact my love of beer and pizza. If I can crack that conundrum, my last moments on this planet could be quite lucrative.

Don’t sweat the little things: that’s going to be top of my list, along with “you can’t change what you can’t change, so let things go”.

Pretentious people will not get my time unless I am getting paid to be nice to them. Material possessions – unless

somehow hooked to my soul – go to the bottom of the list, as do pontificating politicians. I am not listening unless they get down and dirty, get with the real world, roll their sleeves up and have a crack. Sure, mistakes will be made, but at least do stuff for the right reasons and not just to get their shiny arse in a cushy job with great remuneration and expenses within the guidelines.

Viva the revolution: 2023 is a year in which I personally need change in what I am doing but also what I put up with.

My personal little crusade will at least make me feel better.

That goes for reality television as well.

If I have only a year to go, I am not going to watch some loser on television backstab their way through the show and end up on national radio or as a celebrity.

Finally, as a wise person once said, if you give 20 per cent of your time or your wealth to someone or something in need, you will get it back twofold.

So that’s my plan. I don’t want anything back apart from maybe getting to write this column for a few more years ... but only if I am having fun.

The opinions expressed are those of the authors. These are not the views of My Weekly Preview publishers.

JOINING HARVEY’S HAPPY DANCE WAIVERS NOT SET IN STONE

Sami Muirhead is bursting with love for the latest addition to their ‘fun, feral family’, even if his antics have been a bit of a wake-up call.

What to do when your small poodle thinks he is a German shepherd. Harvey the black poodle bounded into our lives one year ago and he has been a most annoying (and reliable) dawn alarm clock ever since.

Luckily, the little critter is as cute as Baby Yoda.

But like clockwork, at 4am, Harvey scratches at the door where he sleeps in our son’s bedroom.

Our boy won a bet with us where the prize for him was having his own dog.

Landing heads on the 50-cent piece meant we would not be adding to our full house, but tails meant Harvey would join the circus of fun, feral family members.

Tails it was (thanks to our friend with a magic coin! ).

What a wonderful flip of ‘fate’ that we landed the fur ball as our baby.

I adore him to no end. But ... this puppy knows no boundaries of sleep guidelines. He stays awake late into the witching hours if anyone in the house is showing signs of life.

Then, his door scratching starts at 4am, when he wants to go for a walk to see his dog mates. And stupid me

usually obliges. I am rewarded in my sleepy state with a tiny dog doing multiple pirouettes of excitement. Every time. Full 360-degree turns of flying fur. People would pay to see his happy dance on Broadway. His enthusiasm is infectious.

Harvey was one of the very best things to happen to our family last year. Our human family has taken to copying the pirouette when we are happy or excited.

But in recent months, Harvey has started becoming a little bullfrog by barking at bikes and bigger dogs. So, we did something that I am sure broke little Harvey’s heart and future swagger: we had him desexed.

Harvey had to spend three weeks with one of those buckets of shame on his head, all stuck together with half a roll of electrical tape. He was quite the Houdini at getting it off his head and biting his crotch where the wound was. Not a good look for any male.

But now it is a new year and our goal is to educate our poodle that he is, in fact, a small dog and not to be a punk with his big pals in the park. Wish us luck.

And may 2023 hold many happy times for you – worthy of copying the Harvey pirouette.

Travis Schultz explains when it comes to waivers, it’s not always black and white. Your legal rights depend on a number of factors.

The holiday season has seen a spate of tragic accidents as people enjoy recreational activities.

While participants are commonly asked to sign or agree to a liability waiver that extinguishes their rights to a legal claim if injured or killed when undertaking potentially dangerous activities, law firm Travis Schultz & Partners (TSP) has flagged that in some cases these contracts are not worth the paper they are written on.

Managing Partner, Travis Schultz, says it is a common misconception that no compensation can be claimed if a waiver has been signed prior to being injured during a recreational activity.

“Your legal rights really depend on how the waiver is drafted and delivered, as well as how the injury is sustained,” Mr Schultz says.

“Customers need to understand whether or not they are agreeing to a waiver before participating in an activity.

“The waiver could be a signed document or something informal such as a ‘ride at your own risk’ sign at the entry to a theme park.”

The contract’s language also needs to be clear about the risks of the activity as well as what rights are being waived in the event of an accident.

“Under law, recreational activity waivers can limit the operator’s liability relating to “personal injury and death” only. Broader exclusions that limit responsibility for income loss, can render the waiver void,” Mr Schultz says.

TSP advise that participants take the time to understand the waiver before signing anything, and ask questions if it’s not clear. Correctly drafted and implemented waivers may be enforceable, but the Australian Consumer Law imposes strict requirements on operators and in many cases, injured participants can still make claims despite waivers having been signed.

“To contest a waiver, it is necessary to consider whether the strict requirements of the Australian Consumer Law have been complied with and whether the term is contractually binding.”

“The upshot is that the courts will rarely preclude a deserving plaintiff from recovering compensation for a negligently inflicted injury. So it’s always best to seek legal advice.”

Vitamins and fats

Did you know that there are some vitamins that are only absorbed properly into the body when eaten with some kind of dietary fat?

Sunshine Coast nutritionist Daneyl Green, from Mix Taste Eat, says these are called fat-soluble vitamins. “The fat acts as a taxi, transporting the vitamin from the food to where it needs to go,” she says. “One great example of this is Vitamin A, found in our humble carrots. It’s my favourite reason to add butter to them when roasting. Dark-leafy green vegies are loaded with Vitamin K, so mix them with some avo or olive oil and you’re good to go.”

Ham, Pea and Cheese Frittata

Ingredients

• 8 eggs

• 2 (120g) slices of leftover ham, chopped

• ¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

• 1 tbsp ricotta cheese

• ½ cup peas, blanched

• 1 tbsp parsley, chopped

• 2 tsp olive oil

Method

1. Whisk eggs and parsley with 2 teaspoons of water. Season to taste.

2. Preheat the oven at 200C, top grill.

3. In a 20cm oven-proof frypan on mediumlow heat, add olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Add the whisked eggs. Cook for a minute, undisturbed until the edges start to set.

4. With a heat-proof spatula, slowly draw the egg mix in from the edges a few times, so it gathers in folds in the centre.

5. Sprinkle the ham, peas, ricotta cheese and cheddar on top and place in the oven for two or three minutes to puff up and cook the top. The frittata should slide easily off the pan and look soft and moist on top.

6. Transfer to a plate, garnish with extra chopped parsley on top and serve.

7. Alternatively if you don't want to put it in the oven, you can cover the pan with a lid and let the frittata cook over medium heat until the top is cooked.

Food for thought: Why not get creative and add more greens or whatever vegetable you have in the fridge. Try perhaps asparagus, silverbeet and spinach, or a mix of all.

TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR BUSINESS TO A COMPETITOR

An essential consideration for business owners should be their exit strategy.

For most owners, this is the time to make serious money and be rewarded for their efforts in business.

One strategy is to sell to a competitor or a similar business who can take advantage of your income without inheriting all of your expenses. Often this is a ‘win-win’ for all concerned and will likely yield a better result for the seller.

In the past, business owners have been reluctant to sell to the opposition, due to the competitive rivalry and fear of letting their rivals see sensitive information.

Things have changed.

Often, competitors are the obvious choice to purchase an industry-related business.

This makes sense: they take out a competitor, expand their current customer base, increase buying power and products/

services on offer and, most importantly, get industry-trained staff.

Perhaps the biggest attraction, though, is the additional revenue which is gained without increasing fixed expenses such as rent and electricity, administration costs, logistics, sales staff, advertising and insurance, for example. The scales of efficiencies prove this can dramatically increase profits/market share.

This strategy does come with risk, though, as there are no guarantees and it could expose your customer base, staff details, suppliers, intellectual property and weaknesses in your business.

To reduce risk, it is recommended you engage a specialist business broker who has the experience and know-how to deal with these delicate situations.

STOCKLAND’S B BY HALCYON OFFICIALLY OPENS LUXURY FACILITIES

Stockland has officially opened its $17.5 million Recreation Precinct, located within the luxury over-50s lifestyle community B by Halcyon in Buderim.

A large function space and bar which opens out onto the wide veranda, private dining area, gold-class style cinema and Creative Arts Pavilion are just some of the spaces that homeowners are looking forward to using in the precinct.

Andrew Astorquia, Stockland Halcyon Communities project director, said the facilities would become the heart of the boutique community in the foothills of the Buderim rainforest.

“As an over-50s lifestyle community, we’re focused on improving the health and fitness of our homeowners and these luxury facilities are the perfect way to achieve

this,” he said. “Homeowners will be able to gather to enjoy all of the social, wellness, active and creative spaces which are on offer.”

The Creative Arts Pavilion, which adjoins the precinct, features two art studios, a music studio, library, lounge and an outdoor ‘artists café courtyard’ that is sure to be popular.

“Buderim is renowned as a haven for artists, and we wanted to able to foster that creativity within the community,” Mr Astorquia said.

The new facilities complement the Wellness Centre, the Sunshine Coast’s largest private day spa, which opened last year. The Wellness Centre features a variety of spaces from a covered and heated magnesium salt pool to luxurious private day spa rooms and a fully equipped gym and circuit room.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

The beginning of the year is a logical time to stress the importance of health and wellness as it dovetails nicely with new year resolutions.

Here’s two examples of people who drastically improved their health by adopting sensible exercise and eating.

Peter is in his 70s and wanted to lose some weight and become generally healthier. We started a program of recording what Peter consumed weekly (in detail) combined with a gentle daily exercise program that included one personal training session a week.

Benefits over the past three months include a 20kg weight loss. Peter still records his daily food intake and is well on the way to being a much healthier person. His habits have changed.

Julie is about 50 and has a highpressure job. We asked Julie to take part in a regular exercise program by herself and to keep an eye on what she was eating. She has her own method of nutrition, based on a program that was recommended to her, and also does one personal training session a week. This session includes high intensity.

Get some help, take some advice and speak to your doctor.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH SUNCARE

Just because you can no longer run a marathon or need a little extra time getting up the steps, doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun and venturing outside your home.

Suncare recognises that social interaction and positive activity contribute to healthy minds and healthy bodies, regardless of age.

For many elderly Australians, family

visits are infrequent and friends are not always around for a cuppa or a walk in the park.

That doesn’t mean you have to be alone. Whether you make use of Social Support to have a friendly support worker come to your house to walk the dog with you or the organisation’s Transport Service to take you to the doctor or to the local Suncare Activity Centre for mahjong or belly dancing, help is at hand.

And it’s not just the Suncare customers who are happy.

Suncare support worker, Carrey, heads home every day knowing she has made a real difference in the lives of the customers she works with.

Before Carrey joined the team as a Suncarer, she knew she wanted a job that was fulfilling and gave her a sense of purpose.

“I met a couple of people who worked for Suncare and firstly, they seemed to love their jobs, and secondly, they were really happy, outgoing people,” she says.

“I knew immediately that’s what I wanted to do.”

So if you are ready to socialise and try new things or share the joy with customers, contact Suncare. Call 1800 786 227.

WHAT TO DO (AND NOT DO) FOR BETTER HEARING

Is there someone not hearing you? Here are the things not to do.

1. Don’t try to talk to someone from another room. Sound doesn’t know how to travel around corners or out of cupboards.

2. Don’t yell. That only distorts your voice

and reduces clarity.

3. Don’t say “never mind” or “forget about it”. It is dismissive and tells the person that you are trying to talk to that you really don’t care what they are saying.

4. Don’t cover your mouth, it doesn’t let the sound out and reduces visual clues.

5. Don’t speak ultra-slow. It ruins the flow of meaning in speech.

Now for some of the essential dos:

1. Get the person’s attention before speaking. Firmly saying their name is a great way.

2. Patiently repeat if asked. Paraphrase to increase information delivery.

3. If it is noisy, move closer. That really helps.

4. Use facial expressions and gestures to add meaning.

5. Encourage the person, who you are talking to, to have their hearing tested. Be positive about them helping you and themselves communicate better. Hearing loss makes everyone’s life a little less enjoyable. Always encourage a person who has a hearing loss to seek help. Choose an independent and local hearing clinic.

HEART HEALTH TRAVELSKIN HEALTH

Packing for travel

With all the current talk of lost baggage, here are some suggestions on how to make your travel as stress free as possible.

Firstly, the carry on. Make sure you pack in your carry-on all your essentials such as medication, laptops and any items you feel you cannot easily purchase at the other end.

‘Essential’, for me, means spare clothing such as under garments, as trying to purchase these on arrival in most tourist destinations can be challenging.

Also, pack one full change of clothing, even if it is light and simple, for arrival.

The essential carry-on list:

• medications

• technology

• change of clothing

• documents.

Checked luggage is out of our hands, but technology can assist. Purchase a luggage tracker which you can pop inside your suitcase and then you will always be able to see exactly where it is. It certainly will assist, should luggage goes missing.

I have these for my phone, keys and car. However, you can attach them to any item that you want to locate.

They are readily available and not that expensive, so I can recommend as a good investment.

Finally, insurance. Make sure you have insurance cover prior to travelling. This is so important in the current environment.

Now you are ready to go, so pack the bags and enjoy your next journey.

The life-saving test that can help predict heart attacks

It’s never too late to look after your heart but the new year is always a great place to start.

At Heart HQ, we are all about monitoring and improving your heart health in 2023.

Heart HQ is home to the Coast’s first coronary CT clinic which offers a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score test.

The CAC score provides a measure of how much plaque is present in your heart arteries. With a consultation with one of our cardiologists, the test can be used to help predict the risk of a future heart attack.

This quick and painless procedure is the best method available to help predict heart attacks in people over the age of 40.

It is always used together with a traditional ‘risk assessment’ and consultation. It’s important to realise that this is a test for screening rather than any urgent diagnosis, such as patients with chest pain.

If you are interested in having a CAC Score test, the process is easy.

Just request a referral from your GP.

For more information, call Heart HQ on 5414 1150 or visit www.hearthq.com. au/tests-and-procedures/coronaryartery-calcium-scoring.

Promising new melanoma vaccine

An Australian study into a new melanoma vaccine is proving promising.

The vaccine has recently shown a massive 44 per cent-reduced risk of death or recurrence in people with advanced melanoma.

The question now being asked is: “Can I get a melanoma vaccine?”

The simple answer is no.

This new vaccine is for patients who develop advanced melanoma only.

It works by using mRNA technology (similar to some new COVID vaccinations) to make a personalised vaccine that targets the unique mutations in the individual melanoma.

What’s important for you to know is that there are still significant risks in advanced melanoma: the risk reduction was 44 per cent, not 100 per cent.

The new treatment does not prevent advanced melanoma: it still needs significant treatment.

For now, the new treatment is not widely available: this was a study.

Take care to reduce your melanoma risk by: protecting from sun damage; looking out for sore, changing, abnormal or new lesions; and having a thorough skin check with a trained skin cancer doctor.

Find melanoma early and treat it before it advances.

Phacoemulsification: modern-day

cataract surgery

Modern-day cataract surgery, also known as phacoemulsification, has a very grounded history.

The term originates from the Greek word “phakos”, relating to a lens, hence the term phacoemulsification aptly describes lens emulsification during cataract surgery.

Dr Charles Kelman, an American ophthalmic surgeon and inventor, first introduced phacoemulsification in 1967 after being inspired by his dentist’s ultrasonic probe. Modern-day phacoemulsification machines have evolved considerably since and are now highly sophisticated.

Small corneal incisions (on average 2.2-2.4mm) are made initially. The lens is then mobilised from its support structure, the capsular bag. The phaco, or ultrasonic probe, is then placed in the eye and used to emulsify the lens efficiently with constant irrigation that ensures the stability of the eye is maintained throughout. Following clean-up of remaining fine lens material (cortex), a new intraocular lens (IOL) is then implanted into the capsular bag.

The eye is then sealed with gentle fluid irrigation at the corneal wounds. That concludes the procedure.

HAEMATOLOGY ORTHOPAEDIC LEGAL

What is spinal canal stenosis?

The nerves in the spine run down a central canal and exit through openings between the vertebrae called foramen. When these openings become narrow, due to ageing, osteoarthritis, injury, trauma, disc herniation or general wear and tear, patients can experience symptoms such as numbness, weakness and pain.

This narrowing is most common in the cervical spine, affecting the upper limbs, and in the lumbar spine, affecting the lower limbs.

Usually, spinal canal stenosis can be treated with minimally invasive surgery to decompress the spinal canal, creating more space for the nerves to pass through. This type of surgery is particularly effective in reducing symptoms associated with the compressed nerve, such as pain in the arms and fingers as well sciatica symptoms in the legs and feet.

Spinal canal stenosis can also be due to instability or abnormal movement of the spine. Symptoms usually improve with sitting or lying down and pain is usually worse when standing, walking or reaching overhead, surgery can be a reliable treatment option for these symptoms.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your GP.

Putting focus on lymphoma

The diagnosis of blood cancer can often come out of the blue and leave patients feeling scared and bewildered.

Many patients have never heard of lymphoma when they are diagnosed.

Lymphoma is actually the sixth-most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with the majority of these being of the non-Hodgkin type. Lymphomas are very heterogenous: they can behave in different ways. Some patients have minimal to no symptoms and others can be very ill and require immediate life-saving treatment.

Diagnosis usually relies on a biopsy specimen of an abnormal lymph node which is then subjected to comprehensive testing including light microscopy, immunohistochemistry (adding dyes to highlight certain cells) and flow cytometry (passing cells through a machine to examine the outside). Often complex genetic tests look for mutations that can guide exact diagnosis, as well as information on how the lymphoma may behave and possibly if more targeted ‘smart’ treatments may be beneficial.

Trials, including immunotherapy and targeted molecular therapies, are ongoing.

So, patients can expect to be treated in an integrated, holistic fashion for the greatest chance of remission and a long-term cure.

Recovery after an anterior total hip replacement

Many patients are surprised at how quickly they can comfortably ambulate after an anterior total hip replacement.

Patients are typically mobilised within hours of their surgery. Most of our patients usually rapidly progress to being independent on crutches and require them for only one to two weeks.

There are many factors that dictate how long a patient needs to stay in hospital but generally getting back to your home environment as soon as it is safe to do so is an important component of your physical, as well as your psychological, recovery.

Excessive physical activity in the first two months after a hip replacement is counterproductive. We generally recommend gentle walking and stretching.

Many patients are safe to drive after just three to four weeks and can perform most of their everyday activities within six weeks.

For patients who enjoy more extreme activities such as surfing, they should wait at least three months to return.

All patients are different, and you should discuss your specific situation with your orthopaedic surgeon.

In one year and out the other…

For a lot of people, a new year’s resolution goes in one year and out the other …

The start of the new year is the ideal time for you to review and update your estate planning. Have you:

• purchased a substantial asset?

• welcomed a new addition to the family?

• changed your marital circumstances (for example, recently married, divorced or commenced a new relationship)?

• suffered an unfortunate relationship breakdown with friends or family members?

Do you intend benefitting a person who is your attorney? Should you be taking steps to demonstrate that any benefit to your attorney has not been as a consequence of the attorney’s undue influence?

Can you locate your existing estateplanning documents and, in particular, the original version of your Will?

Updating your estate plan will typically involve a review of your:

• Will

• Enduring Power of Attorney

• life insurance policy and

• superannuation arrangements.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20)

This week find fresh ways to connect with those around you, as you contribute your considerable talents to a group, club or organisation. Don’t worry if your spontaneous approach results in some mistakes along the way.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

Courtesy of Venus and Saturn, cracks may appear in a romantic relationship or a business partnership early in the week. Instead of pressing the panic button, look for sensible long-term solutions to current problems.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

The planets stir up trouble (and could reactivate an old problem) in your communication zone. So someone could unsettle you by passing on scandalous secondhand news. If you’re a smart Sagittarian, then you’ll steer clear of garrulous gossip, especially online.

Complete the list by changing one letter at a time to create a new word at each step. One possible answer shown below.

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

The Venus/Saturn hook-up highlights the struggle to achieve ongoing balance at work and home. So there could be some conflict between your professional and personal relationships. With Jupiter in spirituality zone, have the confidence to follow your intuition.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

With Venus and Saturn activating your wellbeing zone, it’s time to be more disciplined about your physical, mental and emotional health. Add more nutritious foods to your diet, improve your fitness or incorporate some relaxation techniques into your daily routine.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

The last thing you need at the moment is financial stress. But that’s what you could end up with, as Venus and Saturn stimulate your money zone. Saturn (your patron planet) encourages you to be cautious and conservative in the way you spend cash.

QUIZ

1. What would a chryselephantine statue be overlaid with?

2. Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate first went on sale in 1905 in which country?

3. In what year did Time magazine begin publication?

4. In our solar system, between which two planets does the asteroid belt lie?

5. When will the next leap year be: 2023, 2024 or 2025?

6. What bodily organ does the chronic condition rosacea affect?

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)

Expect a disappointment, as the Venus/Saturn connection derails your previous plans. So prepare to be extra flexible, especially involving work, education and/or travel. It’s time to banish boredom and extend yourself in challenging new directions.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

The focus is on improving partnerships (whether of the romantic, platonic or business variety) as you manage relationships with extra tact and deft diplomacy. It’s also time to envision your dreams, formulate your goals, and consolidate plans.

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

The sun, Venus and Saturn are in your sign, so you’re searching for innovative answers to persistent problems. You’ll be three times as much fun – and three times as much trouble. You’re feeling adventurous and are keen to revamp an area of your life.

7. Which pop group had hits with Take Your Mamma, Laura and Filthy/Gorgeous?

8. Someone born into a wealthy family might be said to have been born with what in their mouth?

9. What is the official language of Lithuania?

10. Chris Hemsworth (pictured) stars as what mythological warrior in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23)

When it comes to a close relationship, if you look for the best in the person and work hard on your communication skills, then the partnership will improve and have a solid chance of longevity. The sun and Jupiter encourage you to avoid getting stuck in a career rut.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

It’s a good week for a domestic clean-up and declutter as the sun, Venus and Saturn highlight your home zone. Do your best to make Casa Scorpio a cocoon of calm. Jupiter is jumping through your work zone (until mid-May) which increases your ambitious streak.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Pisceans possess a talent for procrastination, which is boosted by Venus transiting into your sign on Friday. If you have a passion that you want to pursue (or a decision that needs to be made), then resist being distracted by other people’s agendas.

INDUSTRIAL BOOM: SUNSHINE COAST LAND IN HOT DEMAND IN 2023

Business is booming on the Sunshine Coast, with Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) revealing the region as its industrial land hotspot for the year.

The upcoming release of 41 lots at one of the Coast’s biggest industrial parks is set to fuel further interest in 2023. New EDQ figures show the Sunshine Coast dominated queries from companies about its industrial estates across the state in the 12 months to December 1.

About one-third (134) of the 400-plus queries to the Queensland government’s land use planning and development agency was for land in Caloundra, Coolum and Yandina.

The Sunshine Coast Industrial Park at Caloundra drew the most interest of any site.

With new land coming to market in late 2023, activity is expected to ramp up.

EDQ acting general manager Glenn Ziernik says the Sunshine Coast is poised

for industrial investment.

“This fast-growing regional city is an attractive location for companies setting up shop or looking for a new home to build up their business,” Mr Ziernik says.

“That’s why we’re developing Stage 2 of the Sunshine Coast Industrial Park to

meet strong demand from industry for new land and boost the local economy.

“This second and final stage will release about 30 hectares of developed land, providing 41 industrial lots within a purpose-designed and built estate.

“A range of businesses are looking for

opportunities to be part of this major hub, and we anticipate interest in the precinct will continue to build.

“We are focused on generating opportunities for growth through projects that bring quality local jobs and deliver economic benefits for the region.”

Site works are underway for Stage 2, which is expected to create 100 jobs during construction, and up to 1390 ongoing jobs after the new companies have moved in.

Ten lots spanning a total of 12.2 hectares have been sold across EDQ’s Coast industrial estates in 2022, representing about $20.7 million in sales.

Additionally,

Economic Development Queensland believes our fast-growing region is poised for greater industrial investment as inquiries increase.

“This second and final stage will release about 30 hectares of developed land”

INSPECT: Saturday 21 January 10-11am

A DELIGHTFUL ORIGINAL FARM PROPERTY

The only time offered to the market this charming property offers an increasingly scarce block of land 12.74 ha or over 30 acres with the permanent Eudlo Creek running through the property. Plenty of options here, simply enjoy the property as it is or (Subject to Council Approval) leave the original farmhouse as useful guest accommodation and build your own modern premises on the ample level land.

Interaction with the delightful Eudlo township is 1.5klms down the road, primary school, local store and post office, café. Railway and bus link to Brisbane and the north.

The commercial hub of Maroochydore, the University of the Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast beaches, major hospitals, doctors, chemists, supermarkets, vets, restaurants are approximately 25 klms away.

As a general rule, larger blocks are becoming ever increasingly difficult to find. A property substantially untouched for several decades is an even harder task. Lots to delight on the land, level around the house with plenty of shade trees and towards the back more undulating land with the Eudlo Creek weaving through the property. Inspect soon and expect to be delighted.

SPACE COMBINES WITH FEATURES

There are so many wonderful features of this RiverWalk

Residences property that it would be challenging to list them all.

The first stand-out is the total floor space: about 258sqm of useable area – the equivalent size to a small house. Just as valuable is the fact that you’re one of eight residential units in the complex – so, no holidaymakers. The double lock-up garage with a generous additional workspace/storage area – unusual in a small complex –comes a close second to the total floor space. And there’s an as-new gourmet kitchen with tonnes of clever storage throughout.
