AGENDA

END OF THE ROAD TRIP AS AUSSIES CUT BACK ON FUEL But federal government has pledged to introduce a fuel-efficiency standard to herald more-efficient cars, cheaper costs and cleaner air.

M

ost Australian motorists are driving less, ditching road trips and considering switching to electric vehicles to avoid rising fuel costs, new research shows.

The Climate Council study also has revealed widespread support for the introduction of a fuel-efficiency standard in Australia to deliver more vehicles that use less fuel.

The survey findings come after Treasury figures revealed fuel prices surged by more than seven per cent between July and September, and were expected to remain high due to volatile

oil markets. The Climate Council research surveyed 1150 Australians and found seven in every 10 were making efforts to cut their fuel and vehicle expenses, including changing their driving habits, cutting back on long road trips, and skipping vehicle maintenance.

More than half of those surveyed also felt the introduction of a fuel-efficiency standard could help them save money, and just under half (49 per cent) supported the federal government’s plans to introduce a standard.

Climate Council advocacy head Jennifer Rayner says the results show the rising cost of petrol and

diesel in Australia is having an impact on households.

“Many Australians are doing it tough right now, but they can see there are solutions,” she says. “Every day we delay putting in a fuel-efficiency standard in place, Aussies are missing out on the three-in-one benefits of cheaper costs, cleaner air and greater choice.”

A fuel-efficiency standard would set an emissions limit on the fleets of car manufacturers, encouraging them to import more low-emission vehicles to Australia and penalising brands if they failed to meet the standard.

The federal government pledged to introduce the rule as part of its National Electric Vehicle Strategy, released in April, with a draft due for release by the end of the year. Australia is one of only a few developed nations that does not have a vehicle standard.

Climate Council energy expert and former BP Australasia president Greg Bourne says the absence of emission caps means Australian drivers are being sold less-efficient cars than those available overseas, making rising fuel costs harder to bear.

“New cars sold in Australia use around 20 per cent more fuel than those sold in the USA,” he says. “This is collectively costing us billions.”

Petrol prices have risen substantially this year, with the Australian Institute of Petroleum revealing the average retail price of petrol reached $2.01 a litre this month, and averaged $2.03 a litre over the past 12 weeks.

The federal treasury department says the war in Ukraine, supply constraints, and a weaker Australian dollar have contributed to price rises, and escalating conflict in the Middle East could see prices rise further.

FAST FACTS

Sting in the heel

Do you remember?

Did you know?

Polar bears are known as being so white that they can hide in snow. But the truth is, they aren’t white at all. Their skin is black and the hairs in their fur are hollow and clear. So why do they look white? Light hits their fur and is trapped inside the hollow part of the hair, causing a reaction called luminescence. In addition, salt particles stick to the bears’ fur and act as light-scattering particles.

One of the most painful stings known to mankind is from the platypus. Many people think cuddling this adorable cross between a duck and an otter would be fun. But to the person who tries it, beware! The duck-billed platypus has poison glands in its hind legs and can release the venom using a hollow spur on its heel. While generally not deadly, the sting is said to be incredibly painful and causes a large amount of swelling.

FEATURE STORY

GIVING CHILDREN A BETTER START IN LIFE Sunshine Coast-based IFYS offers myriad programs to support a growing number of families through tough times. WORDS: Linda Read.

W

hile the Sunshine Coast may be one of the state’s premium lifestyle destinations, its residents are not immune to the struggles being experienced by thousands across the country.

As a housing crisis grips the nation, the number of people at risk of homelessness or being unable to put food on their tables is soaring, with some children unable to start the next school year with shoes on their feet.

That’s where Integrated Family and Youth Service (IFYS) comes in. Supported by government funding, IFYS also relies heavily on community support, including many local businesses and organisations.

Starting life 43 years ago as a four-bed facility at Maroochydore, IFYS was the brainchild of the late youth and community trailblazer Eric Moes, then a young psychologist who recognised a need for helping kids living on the streets.

10 My Weekly Preview | November 30, 2023

10.indd 1

Since then, IFYS has grown to become an organisation that accommodates more than 1000 people every night across the state, from Cairns to the Gold Coast, with its headquarters remaining on the Sunshine Coast.

IFYS also delivers a range of services for children and families in need, including foster care, support for young parents, youth transition housing and food programs. And IFYS marketing manager Paul Morton says all of those programs are in more demand than ever.

Paul is speaking with My Weekly Preview as he walks from Caloundra to Mudjimba as part of the Kicks 4 Kids event. The fundraising walk in partnership with radio station SeaFM raises money for Inclusive Kids – one of IFYS’s major arms.

Inclusive Kids supports better inclusion into community life for children who would otherwise be isolated through poverty, family breakdown, disability or severe illness.

“[Kick 4 Kids)puts shoes on the feet of kids who are disadvantaged or underprivileged” Paul Morton

“[The walk] is what we call our back-to-school strategy for Inclusive Kids,” Paul says.

“Basically, we put shoes on the feet of kids who are disadvantaged or underprivileged. For families who have to make those decisions about putting a roof over their head or buying some food, shoes are often low on the priority list.

“Inclusive Kids is very much about inclusive behaviour – if we can get a kid starting on day one with a pair of shoes and a backpack and a lunchbox and they look like everybody else, there’s less likelihood of them feeling disengaged or different to others – because when you’re little, you want to be just like everybody else.”

This year’s walk raised in excess of $55,000 through sponsorship by local businesses and individuals.

In the past four years, Paul says, the event has raised about a quarter-of-amillion dollars – every cent of which goes myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY community, and we’ll say, ‘Abuse of children is not acceptable’,” he says.

“And I think also, we’ve seen a denigration of the family unit – whether it’s violence or drug addiction, they’re all contributing factors.

“When there’s repeated or ongoing violence, the department will intervene in the life of a child, and that can result in a removal [of a child into the care of the department].”

While foster carers are in high demand, however, there is a shortage of carers to meet that demand.

into the Inclusive Kids program, with the administration costs covered by IFYS. Paul says IFYS has seen a “massive spike” in the demand for its services recently, with an ever-increasing number of people at risk of homelessness due to high rents and lack of housing stock.

“It’s not just us,” he says.

“If you talk to emergency relief programs across the Sunshine Coast, there is just an enormous pressure on families now.

“Some people are literally living in cars, needing support.”

While IFYS may provide 1000 beds every night across the state, including a 60-bed facility at Kawana Lakes – managed by the organisation on behalf of the Department of Housing, Paul points out that this only goes part-way to providing relief.

“As an organisation, we don’t have a silver bullet,” he says.

“We use the housing stock that’s in the market.

“We don’t own houses. In lots of instances, we rent them and then sub-lease them to people who need accommodation.

“One of the big issues is that the

majority of people’s income is going to keeping a roof over their head.

“I guess we’ve got a philosophy which says we’d much rather you keep your rent paid and we’ll work with you on the food front, because once you haven’t got a roof, we’re not in a position where we can change that in a lot of cases.”

On the food front, IFYS runs the Urban Angels Community Kitchen, which provides a stunning 10,000 meals a month to families and individuals in need on the Coast, from Caboolture to Gympie.

With more than 100 volunteers, the kitchen relies heavily on the support of the community.

“Their funds come from people who donate, and food that people want to donate,” Paul says.

“It’s like a community pantry in lots of ways, but these guys turn it into meals.”

Providing foster care for children in the care of the Department of Child Safety, another one of IFYS’s services, is also an area that Paul says is experiencing an increase in need.

This is due, in part, to family breakdown and higher community expectations of care, he says.

“We’ve lifted our threshold as a

“We constantly work on the principle that we have to recruit, because there’s more and more kids in care than ever before” Paul cites a natural attrition rate as the reason for this, with some people who have been carers for 30 years retiring, and an influx of new people to the Coast who have yet to settle in.

“We constantly work on the principle that we have to recruit, because there’s more and more kids in care than ever before,” Paul says.

“As [new] people settle in, get their house sorted, and become part of the community, then they might start to hear our message and start to have a look at [foster caring].

“We’re looking for good-quality carers for kids who didn’t choose this life. They didn’t choose whether they were removed.

They didn’t choose whether there was family violence. They’re often just victims of it.”

Other programs run by IFYS include out-of-home care for young people who are out of foster care but still need support, and group work and assistance for young parents who are often raising

their children without a traditional family support system.

Paul is effusive in his praise for the Sunshine Coast community that continues to enable IFYS to meet the growing needs of some of its most vulnerable residents.

“We recognise we’re not an island,” he says.

“And we can’t do it without business either – businesses that support us.

“I just think it’s about acknowledging that it’s this community that makes it great. Acknowledging that we can’t do this by ourselves.

“It’s fine to say we’re an agency funded by government to do this work, but that’s just a fraction of what we do.

“IFYS is an agency that doesn’t just follow government funding. It’s about looking at need and seeing if we are the right agency for that need.

“At the end of the day, it is community.

“The key is we just can’t do it without them.”

SEEDS OF HOPE FOR A VIOLENCE-FREE FUTURE A Sunshine Coast event aims to provide a lasting legacy promoting respectful relationships and keeping women safe from domestic abuse.

A

bout one-in-five Australian women have experienced abuse or violence at the hands of a partner, fuelling a parliamentary push to treat the situation as a national emergency, new data reveals.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics outlines that 2.7 million women have experienced partner violence or abuse.

The 2021-22 Personal Safety Survey also found that women living in households

under financial stress were more than twice as likely to face violence or abuse, and more than 300,000 women were pregnant when they experienced violence by their partners.

The statistics come ahead of the global 16 Days of Activism against GenderBased Violence campaign, which starts on Saturday, November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The campaign runs through to Sunday,

December 10, which is Human Rights Day. Recently, Victorian MP Zoe Daniel labelled violence against women as an epidemic. “As leaders, we must stand up and say enough is enough,” she says.

Currently, Australia does not have a national toll that records instances of fatal violence against women and children. This has led Ms Daniel to call on the government to establish an Australian Family Homicide Index that will generate evidence needed to inform responses to family violence.

“We know that the process of separating from a partner can be a major safety risk for women and children,” she says. “We need to bring together all the data we have so we can develop a better system of identifying red flags. We need to build the evidence base to identify points of intervention to prevent violence and change perpetrator behaviour.”

A special Sunshine Coast event will play a role in the 16 Days of Activism campaign, aiming to improve the lives of women. Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law says these 16 days are an opportunity for people to learn more about coercive control so they can provide appropriate support if needed.

“The campaign reminds us that love does not equal control,” Cr Law says.

“Locally, members of our community can take action and make a difference now and into the future by attending council’s Seeds of Hope event as an act of solidarity and to support victims of domestic and family violence.

“It highlights the importance of looking after our people and places.

“The 500 native ground covers planted on our dunes as part of this event will act as a lasting legacy to acknowledge victims of domestic and family violence on the Sunshine Coast, as well as rehabilitating and building resilience in our coastal dunes.”

Queensland Police Service Sunshine Coast District Superintendent Craig Hawkins says the Seeds of Hope campaign is an opportunity for everyone across the region to send a strong message that we stand together in our commitment to respectful relationships, and there is no form of domestic violence that is part of being an Australian.

The Seeds of Hope event is at Alexandra Headland on December 6. For details and to register, visit eventbrite.com. au and search for ‘Seeds of Hope community planting’.

ABOUT COMPASS Currently, in excess of 90 staff support more than 160 trainees (people with disabilities) across six campuses and a range of Compass-built social enterprises from Caboolture to Gympie.

Compass’s social enterprises include a fully functioning farm, retail outlet, commercial kitchen, Assistance Dog program, multiple cafes and much more – all offering life-changing opportunities for young people with disabilities.

A STORY BEHIND EVERY UNIQUE CREATION The Compass Institute shines the spotlight on trainees’ abilities in the lead-up to International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

D

ecember 3 marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPwD) and a local organisation is celebrating the talents and skills of its trainees ahead of the Christmas season.

IDPwD is a United Nations day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

The 2023 theme is: “United in action to rescue and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for, with and by persons with disabilities”.

It asks everyone to work together to make the world better and fairer for people with disability.

To coincide with the day, The Compass Institute is putting a spotlight on its Wabi Sabi store: a treasure trove full of handcrafted items lovingly made by

No Salesmen No Hype...

Just quality Patios & Pergolas built to STAND THE TEST OF TIME

many of the people with disabilities who attend the Compass campuses.

Compass marketing and communications coordinator Clare Bonamy says IDPwD is a reminder of the talents, capabilities and contributions of individuals with diverse abilities.

“This presents a beautiful opportunity to celebrate their creativity and skills by embracing their lovingly made products,” she says. “By doing so, we not only show appreciation for their skills and abilities, but also foster a more inclusive and supportive society.”

Sadly in Australia, statistics reveal that cases related to disability discrimination consistently rank highest among the various forms of discrimination reported to the Human Rights Commission.

“By actively embracing the talents and creations of individuals with a disability, we participate in reshaping the narrative around disability, emphasising abilities and creativity rather than limitations,” Ms Bonamy says.

The Compass Wabi Sabi Creations store includes handcrafted jewellery, pottery, chopping boards, hampers, paintings, ceramics and more, with all profits going back to supporting Compass trainees.

“Amid the sea of mass-produced goods, these handcrafted items stand out not just for their uniqueness but for the story behind each creation,” Ms Bonamy says.

“They embody perseverance, creativity and the human spirit, serving as a poignant reminder of the talent and potential within every individual, regardless of their abilities.

“It also aligns perfectly with the essence of the holiday season: compassion, understanding and the joy of giving. And of course, as the trainees see their products sell, they experience an increase in their self-esteem, knowing they’ve contributed to society in a meaningful way.”

SANTA’S CLASSY HELPERS DISTRIBUTE FESTIVE CHEER For 11 years in a row, an army of classy helpers have assisted in providing a brighter Christmas by filling the pantry of families in need across the Noosa region.

Santa’s Classy Helpers spend the year collecting goods to donate to about 300 families every December via a free shopping day.

This year, up to 520 families have registered for the shopping day with much of the community coming on board to ensure there is plenty of stock to go around.

Lorraine Kenway, of Classy Lady Noosa, founded the initiative with local families being directed to the charity via services such as the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul.

To ensure families also have access to fresh fruit and vegetables, Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton is proving Santa’s Classy Helpers with a Quick Start Grant to account for the price increases in food.

While most fresh produce is sourced through donations from producers and OzHarvest, there is a substantial amount that needs to be purchased close to the day to ensure freshness.

“Our volunteer organisations need as much support as possible to assist our

Sandy Bolton and Lorraine Kenway community, and often miss out on other funding avenues,” Ms Bolton says.

“Many of our hardworking Noosans are still experiencing hardships, including from housing affordability, fuel costs and everyday expenses of raising a family, and we all need to pitch in as it takes a village.

“We have an incredible community with an enormous heart, and I send deep gratitude to all who do selfless work for the betterment of us all, such as Lorraine and Santa’s Classy Helpers.”

Last-minute donations of tinned fruit, Milo, pancake mix, family-size Vegemite, Christmas puddings and rice can be made to the Classy Lady store at 1/199 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, before December 3.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS COMPETITORS UP THE ANTE ON WOW FACTOR As the excitement of the season spreads, so does the incredible display of Christmas lights throughout the Sunshine Coast community.

Registrations have come in thick and fast for the annual Sunshine Coast’s Christmas Lights Competition, with public voting set to begin to help crown the winners.

First National Coastal Real Estate principal Paul Angell says the calibre of entries this year is dazzling as we lean into the magic of the season.

“Some of the features of the registered displays include a walkthrough display with snow machine, a movie projector, a

giant teddy bear, and one is a drivethrough Christmas lane with over 175,000 lights synchronised to its own radio station,” he says.

“What a great opportunity to get your annual family Christmas photo.”

Voting is open from December 1-13 and three winners will be chosen at random on December 15.

All displays are highlighted on the Sunshine Coast Christmas Lights Google map, giving the community the opportunity to visit the best and brightest displays across the region.

Visit sunnycoastlights.com.au to find the map and cast a vote.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

CORRIDORS ARE FILLED WITH GRATEFUL PEOPLE There’s nothing like taking a walk through a local hospital to gain a little perspective.

Recently, that came in the form of Tony, one of our Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) health heroes, stopping me to thank Wishlist for helping a young person he’d recently worked with.

The teen and her father were homeless.

Dad was undergoing cancer treatment in the Adem Crosby Unit. How’s that for a rough deal? The social work team referred the family to Wishlist Centre and, thanks to generous donors, their entire stay was free.

Dad and daughter spent almost two weeks in a beautiful room, directly opposite SCUH, literally surrounded by love in the form of caring volunteers and free therapy support to bolster their spirits.

Wishlist Centre, Reed House and Wishlist House provide affordable hospital accommodation to hospital patients and their families. For those dealing with tragedy more challenging than we hope to

ever know, they offer brief respite, a moment of solace and hopefully some strength moving forward.

I ran into Tony this particular morning and with tears in his eyes, he asked me again to ensure I relayed his gratitude to our volunteer team members for all they offered this troubled family. He’s still blown away by the gift we – as a community – gave this family and how greatly it affected them.

They were so very grateful.

Shortly after, a gentleman from the hinterland began a conversation with me in the lift, acknowledging he’d also been a long-term guest of ours. As he wished me a good day, he turned to say that if it hadn’t been for the accommodation, he wouldn’t have sought treatment. He can’t drive and he wouldn’t have burdened his family with the travel to and from his home, so he simply wouldn’t have bothered.

Sadly, we hear this too often.

Our volunteers make this precious service possible but so, too, do the team at Ausmar Homes, Andrew Wallace MP, supporters of Wishlist’s The House the Coast Built and 92.7 MIX FM’s Give Me 5, plus philanthropists such as Harry and Margaret Reed and Roy and Nola Thompson.

To all who have left a legacy to benefit countless families, thanks for all you do for Wishlist.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

FROM THE MAYOR Hi everyone, The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Strategy, Elevate 2042, has been released and I am pleased to see the Sunshine Coast featured in this important document.

Elevate 2042 has the bold mission of making Queensland and the Oceania region better, sooner, together through sport, as a direct result of our Games.

I am particularly pleased with the commitment to a more connected and accessible South-East Queensland through the development of a transport and mobility strategy which will prioritise improvements to the region’s transport system.

The Sunshine Coast’s Blue Heart initiative and our Mobility Mapping project, which improves accessibility for people with a disability in our region, are strongly featured in the Legacy Strategy and great examples of positive local projects that will be bigger and better because of the Games.

We want our Sunshine Coast community to benefit from our involvement as a Games Delivery Partner in the 2032 Games, including an enduring legacy for current and future generations to enjoy.

I would like to thank everyone who completed the survey or attended the Legacy Forum. Your commitment to our future is truly appreciated.

You can view Elevate 2042 on Council’s website.

Our hinterland’s Dark Sky Reserve benefits could be astronomical Proposed designation by international association could position region as future astro-tourism destination, with positive flow-on effects for nocturnal wildlife and local residents.

T

he push for a Dark Sky Reserve in the Sunshine Coast hinterland is gaining momentum.

After early investigations, Sunshine Coast Council is proposing to seek an International Dark-Sky Association designation for a Dark Sky Reserve encompassing almost 900 square kilometres in the Mary River Catchment and connected national parks.

Division 5 Councillor Winston Johnston says the proposed dark sky reserve, which will cover 38 per cent of the region, will bring a variety of

benefits for nature and the 13,000 residents living in the proposed reserve area.

“A dark night sky improves community wellbeing and is important to our native wildlife that rely on dark night skies to move, feed or reproduce safely at night,” Cr Johnston says.

“This designation will position our region to become an astro-tourism destination and help support our hinterland communities, while reducing emissions from excess lighting.”

Division 10 Councillor David Law says hinterland residents have been

speaking for years about the potential for a Dark Sky Place in our region and those conversations will continue with community engagement next year.

“By working together, we can keep our beautiful night skies dark and filled with stars,” Cr Law says.

Visit Council’s website or scan the QR code to find out more about the proposal.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

‘Panoramic paradise’ soars with global recognition Only a handful of other Queensland parks share this prestigious international honour.

READING CLUB SET TO IGNITE CHILDREN’S IMAGINATIONS Sunshine Coast Council Libraries’ annual Summer Reading Club is back.

From December 1 until January 31, kids and teens are invited to join this free interactive program.

Once registered, pick up an exciting Cabinet of Curiosities challenge card and embark on three literary explorations, unlocking prizes along the way.

The challenge card encourages children to complete fun trials such as building a cosy reading fort or reading aloud while sticking out their tongue.

Summer Reading Club will keep your kids’ brains active over the summer holidays, increasing memory and concentration and making for a smoother transition back to school in the new year.

Why not encourage your kids to take part and visit the library as often as they like over the summer holidays.

Register for the Summer Reading Club online at library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or at your local library.

uderim Village Park, at the intersection of King Street and Gloucester Road, is a panoramic paradise.

The park boasts sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as the Glass House Mountains.

The three-hectare public park features lush open spaces, a multitude of shaded playground offerings, an amphitheatre, pathways, barbecues and modern amenities.

While it is well known locally, now it has gained global recognition after being awarded The Green Flag Award.

It’s one of only a handful of Queensland parks to have received this

prestigious accolade, joining the likes of South Bank and Roma Street Parklands in Brisbane, the Chinchilla Botanic Parkland in the heart of the Western Downs, and another Sunshine Coast attraction: Kings Beach Park.

The Green Flag Award® scheme, which originated in England in 1996, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces that set the benchmark standard for the management of recreational outdoor spaces around the world.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 7 Councillor Ted Hungerford says the award brings with it a wealth of benefits for our region.

“I’m so pleased to see this glorious park recognised on the world stage and I’m sure the elevated status will lead to higher visitation – which is good news for local businesses,” Cr Hungerford says.

“Our staff do a great job in maintaining this attraction and our 1180 recreation parks and open spaces, 374 playgrounds and 196 public amenities.”

MY OPINION

DINING OUT ON MOVIE ADVICE

YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE A LOT

Sami Muirhead may be changing her point of view on the best dinner-movie combo arrangement, after listening to her new audiobook.

Ashley Robinson foresees a future where he becomes less sceptical about mystic powers but more averse to gambling.

I

think I have been doing something wrong my whole life. You see, I love the big screen. I always have since my grandmother took me to see Zapped and bought me my first bucket of popcorn at the movies in 1982.

The only thing better than going to the movies is going to dinner and the movies. The perfect pair.

But do you prefer movie-dinner, or dinner-movie?

I am listening to Kitty Flanigan’s 488 Rules For Life audiobook.

Rule 280 states: “Movie then dinner and never dinner then movie. This is really just common sense.

“If you go to dinner first, you will be clock watching throughout your meal, potentially rushing your food to make it to the movie on time.

“More importantly, however, seeing the movie first gives you something to talk about over dinner.”

I am blown away. I have always been a dinner-then- movie girl.

I do it this way because I am always tired, so I want to go to bed after the movie. Secondly, I cannot bear the

emotional turmoil that would come with watching a movie on an empty stomach because I hate the thought of being hungry.

Clearly, I have some issues to unpack here when it comes to needing a family-size, cheese-smothered nachos in my stomach to believe I am truly content in life.

You must admit, if you get gourmet guacamole on the perfect corn chips smothered in salsa and sour cream, it is a gateway drug to bliss.

But the thought of going to dinner after the movie is very enticing. I love this new concept. I think it is genius and I can see all the benefits.

This could open many of my dining options. I could have sunset schnitzels.

I could eat my body weight in pasta and wash it all down with wine before heading home to bed.

Kitty has very firm views on many rules when it comes to going to the movies, including her tips to leave a courtesy buffer seat if you are sitting near a stranger and to never chat during the trailers.

I

was talking to someone the other day who told me they could communicate with animals: dogs, cats, cows – whatever. And even though I was a little sceptical, it was an interesting conversation with maybe some great possibilities.

They also told me they could come into a workplace and talk to the spirits and find out what is good and what is not so good.

It reminded me of a time when I was very sceptical of anything like this. At that time, Old Mate got her palm read. It was that long ago, the lady who did it recorded it on a cassette which I was made listen to.

At one stage, it got a bit interesting. Just after she said we would buy a house with a round window, she asked Old Mate if she bet on the horses. The dry reply was: “No, but my d*ckhead husband does.” So the tape went on to say that No.10 with jockey Brent Stanley meant something.

I stopped listening after that and, for the next few years, backed B. Stanley every time he was on a 10 – or, basically, anything that he rode that breathed – with not much luck. That was until Old Mate found out and told me that she thought she would

have to back it, not me – “So, stop being an idiot and wasting my money”.

Anyway, about five years later, I was at a golf day in Canberra and got paired up with a couple of jockeys, with B. Stanley being one. It took me about six holes and six beers to work up enough courage to tell him the story, to which he replied, “Guess why I am here? I got suspended last week and guess the number of the horse I was riding: 10!”

About two years after that, we moved house ... and it had a round window in the bedroom onto the patio, like a porthole into the future. So, I then became a total believer. I had my palm read in India by a real dodgy-looking dude with snakeskin shoes. He gave me a special lucky stone and told me something good would happen on my way back to Australia if I kept the rock.

And he was right, but that’s another story.

So, the lady who can talk to animals may have something. Maybe I could take her to the races and get her to talk to the horses – something which would have been handy before the Melbourne Cup. But I would probably be better served getting her to talk to George the kelpie-cross on why he doesn’t like the postman carrier.

MY OPINION

Troy Derwin, Ord Minnett Buderim

AUB GROUP EXPLAINED Ord Minnett has recently initiated coverage on AUB Group (AUB), which owns a network of retail and wholesale insurance brokers, as well as underwriting agencies, with 570 locations globally.

It generates the majority of its revenue from the Australian and New Zealand business and, more recently, the UK operations.

The company has a solid track record of organic growth which has been supplemented by acquisitions (roughly 50/50 over the past five years).

General insurance has been in a super-cycle, with premiums having grown every quarter since 2017.

Insurance premium growth drivers include: increasing frequency and costs of catastrophes due to climate change; inflation; increasing number of businesses; population growth; and growth in the number of motor vehicles.

AUB has benefitted from this, being able to grow revenues at an annual rate of 10.6 per cent over the past four years (netting out the impact of the recent UK acquisition).

We expect inflation to put upward pressure on rates in the near-term, which should drive strong revenue growth for AUB. However, if we get this wrong, we take comfort that AUB’s financial performance has historically

been resilient during periods of more subdued (and negative) premium rate growth.

AUB has recently acquired a UKbased insurance broking network called Tysers. The acquisition was the company’s first outside Australia and New Zealand. We see it as a transformational type of deal and expect it to be highly accretive to earnings.

Since AUB gained control of Tysers, it has outperformed versus expectations – a good (albeit early) sign.

We believe there is strong growth optionality in this business, given its exposure to the global insurance market, coupled with its low market share currently.

Given all the above and the high operating leverage in the company, we expect AUB should be able to generate very strong earnings per share (EPS) growth. We forecast an 11.4 per cent compound annual growth rate over the four years to June 2027. There is potential upside to this forecast if AUB achieves its internal margin targets.

AUB is currently trading at a five per cent discount to the Australian insurance broking sector, which we believe presents an opportunity, given the outsized EPS growth opportunity. We initiate coverage with a ‘buy’ rating and a 12-month price target of $32.20 (versus the current share price around $29).

Investors should also expect a dividend yield of between 2.5-3 per cent.

As always, we encourage readers to seek their own advice before making investment decisions.

NOT EVERYONE IS BORN TO HAGGLE

A

few months back, I set off to the store to purchase a new refrigerator. Hubby’s advice was: “Don’t forget to haggle. There’s always some wiggle room on their prices.”

He’s probably right, but beating someone down on an advertised price does not come easily to me. The few times I’ve been brave enough to try have been largely unsuccessful. Some people have the knack of always getting the best deal or selling something for a profit. If it’s genetic, my brother scored that gene and my share, too.

My son doesn’t have to haggle as people give him discounts without him asking. This makes me believe that some people are just born lucky. We all know one: that lucky soul who always wins raffles and lucky door prizes. The same person drives straight into freshly vacated spaces rather than doing six laps of the car park. Partway through the seventh lap, I give up and go home.

Is there some kind of feel-good endorphin released when a born haggler achieves their goal? Is it all about winning?

If there is a winner, there has to be a loser somewhere along the line.

Once I was in Peru and purchased gloves at a market for six sol, when the asking price was seven. My bargain was purely accidental as I had mixed up the Spanish to English translation of numbers. Later, when I realised my error, I felt nothing but remorse at having ripped off the poor stallholder. Every winter, when I don my llama-patterned gloves, the guilt overshadows their fuzzy warmth.

With hubby’s words in mind, I strode

into the store, trying hard to look like a confident haggler. We had chosen a model on an earlier fridge-hunting expedition, so all I needed was a shop assistant.

In a short time, I would be walking out of that place with the bargain of the century.

No, not walking – strutting – past lessfortunate shoppers, who would gaze in awe at my bargaining skills. My haggle probably broke a record in its brevity.

“No, this fridge is already heavily discounted. We can’t possibly take anything off of the price. Our profit is virtually nothing on this one.”

There was nothing on the price tag to indicate this. Well, I puffed out my chest and glared, then rather meekly, said, “Okay then.” Hopes of strutting out were replaced by an awkward, hurried exit.

Naturally, hubby was a little surprised when I answered his inevitable query.

“How did you go? Did they knock a bit off the price?”

“Nope. I paid more.”

It turned out that the delivery price quoted last week was incorrect and it was actually a little dearer. I dared not argue over the minor difference in case the price increased further. Shop assistants spot us pretend hagglers a mile off.

If haggling can be taught, I doubt any class would help me. I may not be the queen of bargains, but I like to think that I’m very fortunate in other ways.

Life is full of ups and downs. Some call it swings and roundabouts, which just make me dizzy ... much like haggling.

AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM

In cinemas December 26.

In cinemas December 26.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish is a musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas. Rosas is where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force: a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a formidable foe – the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico – to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. Featuring the voices of Academy Award-winning actor Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Valentino the goat, the film is helmed by Oscar-winning director Chris Buck (Frozen, Frozen 2) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (Raya and the Last Dragon).

Director James Wan and Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa – along with Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman – return in the sequel to the highestgrossing DC film ever: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Having failed to defeat him the first time, Black Manta – still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death – will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time, Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance.

FOODS THAT OFFER SUPPORT • Greens: such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale contain glutathione, which is a potent antioxidant that supports liver enzymes and detoxification.

WAYS TO LOVE YOUR LIVER

O

ur liver is the powerhouse of our body systems. It works 24 hours a day to detoxify and produce bile to break down fats, toxins such as alcohol, medications and natural byproducts of metabolism, including hormone disruptors.

Our liver supports our body – by storing vitamins, minerals and even carbohydrates – as well as our digestive system. When we increase our intake of fatty foods, alcohol, medications and sugar, this puts increasing pressure on our already hard-working liver. In return, it may become sluggish and overloaded.

Systemic inflammation can be the side effect of an overburdened liver.

If you are trying to give some love to your liver, it’s a good idea to avoid processed foods, excess sugar, added hormones and fatty foods. Meats – in particular ham, pork and bacon – may contain inflammation-producing nitrate preservatives.

Nutrition plays a key role in helping your liver work more efficiently. Restore your liver’s ability to remove impurities by eating organic fresh produce, meats and food products. Drink some organic liver-supportive teas or alkaline juices.

Words: Assunta Hamilton, qualified naturopath Kunara Organic Marketplace, 330 Mons Road, Forest Glen.

5

ways to add extra care

• Grapefruit: contains inflammationreducing antioxidants, called naringenin and naringin. These have been shown to reduce hepatic fibrosis in the liver.

Personal care products – consider updating your personal care and house cleaning products to chemical-free. This can help reduce the toxic burden on your liver.

• Blueberries and cranberries: powerful antioxidants, called anthocyanins, have been shown in studies to improve those diagnosed with a fatty liver and inhibit liver cancer.

Increase your water intake – drinking 2L-plus of filtered water a day will help optimise your liver’s ability to flush out toxins and hydrate.

• Green tea: a powerful antioxidant containing EGCG. A study has found that people who drink green tea are less likely to develop liver cancer.

• Coconut water: it contains five electrolytes needed by the body – magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and sodium that are needed by the body to regain hydration. A hydrated liver is a happy liver.

• Kombucha: it’s full of healthy probiotics, protects the liver and detoxifies the body.

• Beetroot juice: studies have shown that beet juice may help to reduce oxidative damage and inflammation of the liver.

Castor oil – used topically, castor oil can be very useful to help support your liver. It assists by increasing circulation to your liver, reducing stagnation and assisting in removing toxins from your body.

Practice mindfulness – our everyday life can be busy and chaotic. We need to slow everything down and be more conscious.

Slow down and take digital breaks from electronic devices. Spend time in nature, take a dip in the ocean and walk on the grass with bare feet. Be mindful and grateful for all that you have and practise daily meditation.

Rest, sleep and recover – listen to your body and rest, sleep and recover to help detoxify and rebuild your body systems. Your liver does its best job at night when you are asleep.

So, ensure that you are getting an adequate eight hours of sleep a night.

track to achieving our economic growth target of $33 billion in 2033. Our wonderful small businesses, as we all know, are the lifeblood of our local economy, and their success is integral to our overall prosperity. It was so great to see the best-of-the-best businesses showcased.

Noteworthy news from the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) Business

Compensation compassion with

School is its new status upon achieving AACSB accreditation. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is an internationally recognised, non-profit organisation that independently reviews business schools across the globe.

This is a big step forward for our UniSC Business School and will help to further position it locally, nationally and internationally as a high-quality entity. I see this as great groundwork to ensure our region continues to nurture talent, raise entrepreneurs and drive more start-ups.

Summer is officially here, and that’s when the aptly named Sunshine Coast really shines. And at the heart of that is our world-class tourism and hospitality industry. Ranked in the top three ‘Most Loved Places in the World’ by the Tourism Sentiment Index in 2022 and 2023, our region no doubt will again be the destination of choice for visitors far and wide this summer season.

With a string of cruise ships expected to dock off Mooloolaba this December and again in February and March 2024, this brings an extra boost for our tourism industry. It’s never been more important to make sure we have a solid workforce in

place to deliver the best-possible experience in our retail, tourism and hospitality sectors.

The summer months on the Sunshine Coast bring some red-hot opportunities to earn, learn and support our region over the busy holiday period. Helping match talent with employers is the free platform, Sunshine Coast Jobs Hub (scjobs.com.au), which was created earlier this year through a partnership between Sunshine Coast Council and Study Sunshine Coast.

More than 170 employers across a range of industries have registered and are using the site to find local workers. There are currently almost 1000 positions available on the Jobs Hub, including more than 190 in hospitality and tourism.

Sunshine Coast Jobs Hub is free for businesses to advertise their job opportunities and search the CVs of job seekers. The site also aggregates employment opportunities from other job sites to showcase roles specifically located on the Sunshine Coast. Job seekers can become a member of the Jobs Hub for free and enjoy multiple benefits, including finding local jobs quickly and easily, receiving local job alerts, creating and/or

Summer is also a time for businesses to make sure they are disaster ready. Now is the time for businesses to familiarise themselves with the council’s Disaster Hub and understand what to do before, during and after a severe weather event.

While the warmer months always bring a higher chance of intense storms, this season is also predicted to bring an elevated risk of heatwaves and bushfires. Visit disasterhub. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to find important, up-to-date information and links to key emergency services in one location, including weather warnings, road closures, evacuation centres, airport updates, traffic cameras and flood mapping, as well as the council’s news updates and social media posts.

Now, I would like to introduce the council’s new head of economic development Chris Le Serve. Chris has an extensive career spanning three decades and has held senior roles in the private and public sector in various organisations, including the past six years with the Queensland Government.

For the past two years, Chris headed up the investment division at Queensland Treasury, overseeing four core units of investment strategy, attraction, facilitation and partnerships, with a focus on driving economic development outcomes by working in partnership with private sector organisations.

With the Regional Economic Development Strategy refresh top of our agenda, I have every confidence that Chris will lead our economic development team to action the many strategy initiatives and deliver outcomes that support our local economy to reach our ambitious goals.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SEPARATION AND DIVORCE PROCESS Divorce can often appear to be a straightforward process. However, sometimes, this is not always the case.

Sole application: serving the divorce – Sometimes it is necessary to complete a sole application, such as when you no longer can communicate with your wife or husband, or they are unwilling to participate in the

divorce process. If a sole application for divorce is being made, then you are required to serve the application on the other party.

But what happens if the other party refuses to sign the acknowledgment of service? – The other option is to personally serve the divorce application on the other party. This means that someone either physically hands the divorce application to the other party or leaves the application in the other party’s presence. You cannot personally serve the divorce application yourself on the other party: you will either need a friend, family member or process server to serve the application.

Separated but still living together – Sometimes after a husband and wife separate, they continue living together.

One of the requirements for divorce is that you have been living separately for 12 months. This provides evidence that the relationship has irretrievably broken down.

So, what if you have been living together in the past 12 months? – You will need to prove to the court that you really are ‘separated’. This will require affidavits from you and the other party (for a joint application); or if the other party is unwilling to provide one or if it is a sole application, then an independent person.

The above are just a few of the issues that could arise during a divorce application.

If you are considering making an application for divorce, call our family law team at Miller Sockhill Lawyers on 5444 4750 for expert advice and guidance on the divorce-application process.

INVESTING IN EDUCATION OF GRANDCHILDREN

Voluntary Assisted Dying – six months on

Christmas parties and tax law

Bills put interests of children first

As of 1 January 2023, an eligible person could choose to end their life under newly introduced Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) laws in Queensland.

A recent Government report revealed, in the first six months of operation of the laws: • 591 people (comprising 331 males and 260 females) applied to access the scheme; • 245 people used the scheme to end their lives; • The average age of persons who completed their first eligibility assessment under the scheme was 73 – with ages ranging from 18 to 90+ years; • 30 applicants withdrew their requests; • 29 applicants did not meet the eligibility criteria and could not further participate in the scheme; and • 5 applicants were initially eligible, however, did not meet the criteria at their second eligibility assessment.

The report states “raising awareness and understanding of voluntary assisted dying in Queensland is integral to enabling a high-quality, safe, accessible and compassionate scheme”.

Remember VAD is different to making an Advance Health Directive (AHD). An AHD takes effect if you lose capacity. One of the eligibility criteria to access the VAD scheme is that you still retain your decisionmaking capacity.

When providing food and drink, your business needs to consider Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Income Tax. There are also different tax treatments if the entertainment you are providing is for employees, associates, clients or suppliers.

And it may differ depending on where you decide to hold your event.

Taxing Christmas parties at your workplace on a work day: • If you’re holding a Christmas party at your workplace and providing food and drink (including alcohol) on a work day, there may be no FBT payable for employees, clients, contractors or suppliers. These costs are FBT-exempt.

• Unfortunately, that means that there will be no income tax deduction and no GST credits to be claimed for your Christmas party, either.

• FBT exemptions may apply if the cost is less than $300. This amount is considered a ‘minor exempt benefit’.

Taxing Christmas parties held at a restaurant, bar or other venue: • If you’re holding your Christmas party at a location other than your workplace and providing food and drink (including alcohol) to employees and associates, FBT may be payable unless the costs of the party are less than $300 per employee.

Parliament passed two significant family law bills on October 19 this year that are meant to make the family law system simpler and safer for separating families.

The first bill is the Family Law Amendment Bill. This bill places the best interests of children at the forefront of every parenting decision, whether you are in the legal system or not.

Under the new legislation, there will be greater focus on the individual needs of each child and, significantly, the presumption of ‘equal shared parental responsibility’ has been revoked.

The second bill is the Family Law Amendment (Information Sharing) Bill 2023, which has been introduced to provide the courts with critical insights into family safety risks. This will ensure a strong focus on protecting the wellbeing of children and families, especially when there are concerns about child abuse, neglect or family violence.

The passing of these new bills should mean survivors of family and domestic violence are better protected, with more power given to the courts to make orders to obtain information from state and territory authorities relevant to family law matters.

There should be fewer orders made for equal shared time when this is not appropriate in matters where families are at risk from family violence.

NEW research has revealed that 76 per cent of grandparents are heavily invested in their grandchildren getting the education they need to succeed.

But, Futurity Investment Group’s Grandparents’ Contribution to Education report found only 29 per cent of grandparents actually financially support their grandchildren’s education, with those that do contributing $1998 per grandchild each year.

The survey of 1000 Australian grandparents with grandchildren in formal education found the majority who contribute financially to their grandchildren’s education are using their personal savings; but 23 per cent are using their pension payments.

The report found 77 per cent of grandparents are concerned about rising cost of living expenses for their grandchildren, 72 per cent are worried about the rising cost of housing, with 38 per cent concerned the current quality of education will not equip their grandchildren with the necessary skills to succeed.

Seven-in-10 retirees and pensioners intend to pass on at least 40 per cent of their wealth to their grandchildren.

Those who are still employed or are semi-retired are more likely to pass on 50-90 per cent of their wealth to grandchildren.

More than half of all grandparents hope their children and/or grandchildren will use their inherited wealth to help purchase a property; a third hope it is used to fund education; and a quarter want the money spent on travel and life experiences.

The research found 69 per cent of grandparents are active supporters involved in their grandchildren’s education. The most common form of involvement is homework support (53 per cent), buying school supplies (40 per cent) and providing a space to study (28 per cent).

“Baby boomers make up 21 per cent of the population but control almost half of Australia’s wealth,” Futurity Investment Group executive Kate Hill says. myweeklypreview.com.au

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

With the sun and Mars shining in fellow fire sign Sagittarius, you’re in Ram freedom-bunny mode.

Plus, indulgent Venus and restless Jupiter rev up your adventurous, extravagant side. So this week will work best if you experiment and explore.

This week’s stars highlight the constant balancing act between individual needs and relationship responsibilities. Jupiter and Uranus (both in Taurus) emphasise the importance of maintaining your individuality and prioritising personal projects.

The sun and Mars are both transiting through your relationship zone, so a problem with a loved one should start to improve, as long as you are proactive about finding a solution.

When it comes to your aspirations, don’t just dream about them.

Attached Crabs – this week’s stars are perfect for cementing your commitment to your partner, as you find ways to show your affection. Singles – give superficial suitors a wide berth. Look for lasting love with a soulful Scorpio or a charismatic Capricorn.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

The focus is on friends as the sun and Mars move through your friendship zone. But don’t let your peer group influence you too much. The planets encourage being your own person and doing your own thing.

This week, Mercury (your power planet) forms a fabulous trine with lucky, plucky Jupiter. Plus, Jupiter and Uranus are both jumping through your aspirations and adventure zones. You need to be proactive about turning opportunities into good fortune.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, taskmaster Saturn links up with your ruling planet Venus. This encourages and boosts your conscientious, perfectionist side.

But don’t overdo it, Libra. Leave room for mistakes, stumbles and occasional sloppiness.

Mercury and Pluto (your patron planet) are transiting through your communication zone. So you’re keen to enjoy plenty of stimulating conversations with a wide range of interesting, adventurous people within your extended peer group.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

The sun and Mars are visiting your sign (plus Mercury and Venus link up with Jupiter), so you’re in an adventurous mode. Limiting rules, regulations and restrictions won’t be welcome. But slow down, otherwise you could be involved in an argument.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Venus makes a lovely link with your power planet Saturn, which favours financial matters, established relationships and finding long-term love. Then Friday’s Mercury/Jupiter trine is particularly good for business.

Courageous Mars and the creative sun are currently transiting through your hopesand-wishes zone, so it’s important to dream a dream, turn it into a goal, and then make it happen. No procrastinating or complaining, Aquarius.

The more creative you are at work, the better the week will be.

And the more you help others, the more connected you’ll feel. With Mercury moving through your networking zone, it’s also time to boost your social media profile by communicating with more family.

RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT PLANNED An application for an eight-unit building on Bradman Avenue is set to take advantage of the prime location. WORDS: Chris Gilmore.

IMAGE: DCM BUILDING DESIGN

A

718sqm block on a rapidly changing waterfront thoroughfare could be turned into an eight-unit building after a development application for the site was submitted.

The application for 281 Bradman Avenue, Maroochydore, was submitted on November 20 and seeks approval for two units per level over four storeys, plus basement car parking.

A town planning report prepared by Adams and Sparkes, on behalf of the applicant BRSP Pty Ltd, states that each dwelling would take advantage of the riverside location.

“Each unit will be provided with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space that extends out to an expansive private open space balcony overlooking the Maroochy River,” it says.

The block is on the corner with Kuran Street, about 300 metres west of the Sunshine Motorway, and currently has an existing residential dwelling and shed.

The site is identified as being within a flooding and inundation area, and the proposed building has been designed to raise the finished level of the ground floor to achieve suitable flood immunity.

The report notes some aspects of the proposal are not compliant with the planning scheme. The 718sqm block size does not meet the required 800sqm, and the density of 111 dwellings per hectare would exceed the 50-80 permitted.

An impression of the proposed development at 281 Bradman Avenue, Maroocydore.

The building design would encompass the coastal character of Maroochydore, the report says.

“The proposed development comprises a contemporary architectural design with coastal themes,” it states.

“The design also employs a range of high-quality building materials, to aid variation and visual interest.”

The development would include 12 resident car spaces and two visitor bays, plus a motorcycle bay and bicycle storage spaces.

“The proposed development presents a high-quality, architecturally designed development that takes advantage of the site’s central location within Maroochydore and responds to the site’s constraints (i.e. flooding),” the report states.

“The proposed development presents a significant infill development opportunity that is consistent with the scale and built form of unit development that is anticipated to be delivered along Bradman Avenue, taking advantage of the site’s expansive views of the Maroochy River.

“Overall, the proposed development ensures a consistent development outcome that will result in a positive contribution to the visual amenity of the streetscape.”

The development application for a material change of use and operational works to establish a multiple dwelling is code-assessable.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

So, my wave-starved friends, I have no good news for you.

But, I do have part two of new trends from the pretend hippies of Byron.

Forest bathing. Yep, it’s a thing, with people running courses on it!

Now, you and I would more than likely call it bush walking. But, forest bathing apparently sounds better.

Remember to surf in your dreams.

Works for me!
