UPDATE
Members honoured as Paul Harris Fellows ROTARY CLUB OF NOOSA HELD ITS ANNUAL CHANGEOVER DINNER AT TEWANTIN NOOSA RSL WITH PRESIDENT TESS ALEXANDROFF HANDING OVER THE CHAIN OF OFFICE TO NEW PRESIDENT PAUL PORTER. In front of Rotary members, visiting Rotarians, guests and VIPs, it was also the perfect opportunity to look back at what the club achieved over the previous 12 months, to hand out donations to local organisations and to honour those who had gone above and beyond in their service to the club. The main recipient of the night was long-time Rotary member, Graeme Dwyer. Graeme was described as “a credit to Rotary and his community” after serving 43 years with Rotary – 23 of those in the Rotary Club of Noosa. Mr Dwyer was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow Ruby pin – becoming the only member of the Rotary Club of Noosa to ever receive one. Rotarians and Mr Dwyer’s family

paid tribute to his achievements. VIP guests included Member for Noosa Glen Elmes, and Noosa’s Deputy Mayor Bob Abbot. Mr Abbot told the audience that, after a long and successful political career, he hadn’t planned on going back into council. “But I wasn’t ready to retire. My partner Sue said, if I retired, there were two rules. I wasn’t allowed to stay home more than two days a week – and they weren’t to be consecutive days! But being Deputy Mayor is the best job,” he said. “I’ll do the two-year term and make sure at the end that you can be proud of this council and then I’ll do something different. But I look

forward to spending the rest of my life in Noosa.” Tribute was paid to President Tess’s hard work and dedication throughout her term in office and she was presented a Paul Harris Fellow Gold pin. During Tess’s two years as President the club distributed in excess of $50,000. Major recipients included Bundaberg flood victims ($7,000 plus the furniture estimated replacement value $1million-plus), Tasmanian bush fires ($5,000), Angel Flight ($5,000), Noosa Coast Guard ($13,000), SES ($3,000), Katie Rose Cottage ($5,000), Carramar ($1,500), ARH Bowel Cancer Research ($5,000) and Legacy ($1,000). A thoroughly enjoyable evening included two performances by upand-coming local singer/actress, Ashleigh Mueckenberger, herself a recipient of a Rotary donation to further her studies.
Lions' dinner a roaring success NOOSA MP GLEN ELMES AND NOOSA COUNCILLOR TONY WELLINGTON JOINED THE GUEST LIST FOR TEWANTIN NOOSA LIONS CLUB’S CHANGEOVER DINNER AT TEWANTIN NOOSA RSL, CELEBRATING 47 YEARS OF SERVICE. A packed program included a changing of the guard, with Outgoing President Peter Schofield handing over the reins to Incoming President Ian McKay. Members from Lions clubs throughout the area and guests also heard from District Governor Delwyn Hallett, school chaplain Michelle Prenzler and trainee youth leader Ali Coleman. The school chaplains are among many local groups to benefit from Lions Club fundraising. The past year saw a record
$38,630 going back into the district, and other world-wide programs helping to eliminate global health issues. Locally Tewantin-Noosa Lions helped, amongst others, Youth Insearch (an invaluable youth camp

THE ROTARY CLUB OF NOOSA HEADS HELD THEIR END OF YEAR CHANGEOVER DINNER AT THE WATERFRONT RESTAURANT, NOOSAVILLE. The event celebrated the closure of a successful year by the outgoing President, Dr Keith Trace, and the induction of the new President, Gerald Victor OAM. Addressing the assembly, President Keith said that it had been an eventful, enjoyable and
financially good year, raising almost $38,000 for international, national and local organisations, with many of the local beneficiaries having representatives attend the dinner. These included Darron Shields from the Paraplegic Benefit Fund, Sharon O’Kane from Wesley Care and Mary White from Wheelchairs for Kids. One of the biggest beneficiaries was Queensland Drought Relief, which received $13,500.

Ms Coleman, an attendee at the camps who is now training to be a youth leader, said the camps had turned her life around. “I was 12 when I first went and I was a mess. My father had just died, I was depressed and unhappy, I was bullied – I was just a very sad kid. “But now I have structure to my life and I know what I want and where I’m going and none of that would have been possible without Tewantin-Noosa Lions.”

Last weekend mining magnate turned Federal MP Clive Palmer opened the doors to his resort at Coolum for free and bid G’day to 40,000 visitors. Some labelled the event as a “votegrabbing publicity stunt” but, in the words of one Coolum resident, “it was a great event and Mr Palmer got out there amongst it and enjoyed himself”. ISOBEL COLEMAN
MAN OF THE PEOPLE OR MEGALOMANIAC:
Clive Palmer COMES CLEAN
Crowds of people flocked to the resort over the weekend to see Palmersaurus and a free live concert by Elvis impersonator, Dean Vegas
The event was timely given that, as of July 1, the independent MP holds the balance of power in federal Parliament. And if the Coalition thought it had its work cut out dealing with the Greens, it will now have to negotiate with the Palmer United Party if it wants to pass legislation through the Upper House. That makes Mr Palmer the man of the moment. But at the weekend he went all out to prove he was a man of the people, mingling with the locals as the crowds oohed and aahed over his priceless classic car collection and huge automated dinosaurs. Before rushing back to Canberra Mr Palmer found time to talk to YLM. IT SOUNDS AS IF THE FAIRFAX FESTIVAL WEEKEND WENT REALLY WELL. HOW MANY PEOPLE ATTENDED? We had more than 40,000 people at Palmer Coolum Resort over the weekend, starting on Friday night. It was way above our expectations and a huge thrill for me. WHAT SORT OF FEEDBACK DID YOU GET FROM THOSE ATTENDING? I UNDERSTAND YOU TOOK THE TIME TO GET OUT THERE AMONGST THE VISITORS? We were amazed at the turn out and the whole weekend was a huge success. Constituents spoke to me about a range of issues and it was an invaluable way for me to understand the needs of the electorate. OF COURSE, BEFORE THE EVENT, IT WAS WIDELY COVERED BY THE MEDIA. SOME SAY IT WAS A VOTE-GRABBER, BUT OTHERS ARE SAYING IT WAS A GENUINE MOVE TO BE A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. COULD YOU COMMENT ON THAT PLEASE? It was just a tremendous way for me to speak to thousands of people in Fairfax over a relatively short period of time. I don’t know if any other Member of Parliament would have had an opportunity to connect with their constituents like that. And now I have a much be er understanding of the electorate’s needs, which is what it is all about.
THE MEDIA ISN'T ALWAYS KIND OR FAIR DOES THAT BOTHER YOU? I’m not bothered by a lot of the negative stuff but if outright lies are wri en and reported about me I’m ready to defend my reputation. IS “MAN OF THE PEOPLE" A FAIR LABEL, GIVEN YOUR ABILITY TO BE A STRAIGHT TALKER, IN LANGUAGE PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND. IS THAT JUST HOW YOU ARE WITH EVERYONE OR IS THAT YOUR POLITICAL PERSONA? I just try to be myself, talk to people normally and show them respect. Too many politicians talk down to the public or just repeat sound bites prepared for them by their spin doctors. You’ll never catch me doing that. WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO RECENTLY DONATE YOUR PARLIAMENTARY SALARY TO 100 LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS? I always promised to donate my salary to charity if I was elected and politicians should keep their promises. I’m pleased that organisations in the Fairfax electorate including sporting, veterans, health, recreational, environmental, aged care and many more groups will all benefit from my parliamentary salary. I hope
it will help them in making improvements to their facilities, buy new uniforms or equipment and even pay the bills if necessary. YOU RECENTLY MET WITH AL GORE. HOW DID THOSE TALKS GO? Al Gore is a great leader who has worked relentlessly to save this planet from environmental disaster and he certainly convinced me of the need for the whole world to work together on these issues. Climate change is a global problem and therefore it must have a global solution. It was great to have Al Gore’s support for the amendments to the Carbon Tax Repeal legislation that the Palmer United Party is proposing and he has challenged the Prime Minister Tony Abbo to take them onboard. PUP NOW HOLDS THE BALANCE OF POWER. HOW DOES THAT FEEL? It’s an important responsibility and the Palmer United Party senators-elect and myself as the party’s federal leader will be taking it very seriously. We will work hard to protect democracy in this country and ensure the federal parliament passes legislation which is fair and equitable to all Australians.

Lorna Jane:
How a dream became a global empire ISOBEL COLEMAN When Lorna Jane Clarkson quit her job as a dental therapist 25 years ago, to follow her dream of becoming a designer, she never dreamt it would lead to a global, multimillion dollar empire. But she still likes to head to the Sunshine Coast on her days off. Giving up paid employment to launch your own business is always a leap of faith but that’s exactly what Lorna Jane Clarkson did more than two decades ago. But what happened next was a surprise, even to her. “Believe it or not
there was never a real plan to launch Lorna Jane as a fashion business,” she told YLM. “I simply started sewing active wear for myself because I couldn’t find anything in the marketplace that I wanted to wear. I wanted active wear that was fashionable, functional and inspired me to be more active. “I was a part-time aerobics instructor at the time and the women in my classes saw me wearing my designs and loved them. The orders started flooding in and before I knew it I had a ‘business’.” What sparked the idea was Lorna’s belief that active wear was very male-dominated back then. “There was a disappointing lack of variety in woman’s active wear and it was only available in the masculine environment of sporting goods stores. Needless to say I thought women deserved be er! “I wanted bright, colourful clothes that not only had perfect fit, but made me feel feminine and inspired me to live active every day. As it “I am in the office every single day, and turns out, there were a lot of women that felt am involved in every aspect of the business. the same way and this paved the way for me to Whether it is brainstorming with the design build a brand that delivered just that! team about upcoming collections, fi ing “I would never in a million years have samples or planning future issues of our Active imagined I’d be here today with more than 160 Living Magazine, I am involved with everyretail stores globally.

it shows women that healthy food is simple to prepare and can be both nutritious and delicious at the same time. “I believe the connection between the foods we eat and how we look and feel is incredibly powerful and my book teaches women how to fuel their bodies so they can think, look and feel at their best every day for the rest of their lives.” Lorna Jane said the book also encourages women to get off the diet treadmill, to stop feeling guilty or deprived when it comes to eating and start to look at food as the fuel their bodies need to achieve great things in life. “We need to feed our bodies with nutritious food that not only tastes great but makes us feel amazing and ready to take on life’s challenges. My book teaches women how simple it is to do just that! “Active Living is the way that I live my life and Move Nourish Believe is the daily practice that makes it absolutely possible. It involves pu ing your health first by moving your body every day, nourishing from the inside out and believing anything is possible if you are willing to work for it. For me, these are the three essential ingredients to living with purpose and creating a beautiful active life for yourself.” Ask Lorna Jane what she thinks women can achieve when they put their mind to it, and it’s a no-brainer. “In my eyes, women rule the world, and can accomplish all their dreams and goals if they are willing to work for them. I approach everything I do with passion and determination.” A true Queensland girl at heart, Lorna Jane takes every opportunity to “come home” to the Sunshine Coast. “Visiting our beautiful beaches will always remain my favourite thing to do. My husband Bill, my dog Roger and I o en escape to the beach on the weekends, where we go hiking, take walks, catch up on some reading and dine alfresco in the many amazing restaurants and cafes. The relaxed atmosphere, fresh air and beautiful scenery are the perfect backdrop for Active Living.”

THE REPLACEMENT HIP(PY) TRAIL Part 4
TED EMERY is a film director (Kath and Kimderella) and TV producer, with Full Frontal, Fast Forward and Kath and Kim among his credits. He is now living in Noosa and says he will write for YLM “when inspiration strikes.”
To get to Penang Island from the mainland one must transit through Butterworth. The ferry was our best option, as the wharf was walking distance from Bu erworth train station. It was undergoing major construction and expansion. Like any construction site that has to allow for public access, the place was a system of temporary rat trails. Across tracks, over temporary bridges, ducking under concrete beams, squeezing through chain link fence openings and weaving around massive piles of rubble. In the CCTV control room the security blokes would have been near death with laughter as three Australians, their bags and a three-word Malayan vocabulary crossed back and forth through the screens in silent movie style, demonstrating the full gamut of human emotion when cooperation, communication and common sense fails u erly. Exiting the last ferry onto the Georgetown wharf, we wisely opted for a cab to take us to our hotel. The 170-metre trip was compensated with a handsome tip. Public Holidays in Penang: Must Google that next time before we go. With every room triple-booked, our three words in Malay and the late hour, we took the manager’s kind offer of accommodation on the sixth floor (no li ) in
the dormitory occupied by a united nations of migrant construction workers. That comprised three bunks to a tier, one bathroom down the hall, no air conditioning, and 35 degrees with 1000% humidity overnight. We spent the night moving bunks to starfish under the only working overhead fan. Having eaten too much yummy street food for breakfast we went in pursuit of a hotel a li le less Bear Grylls-inspired. The bride found it. Lots of red drapes and faux gold. It wouldn’t have looked all that flash when Raffles stayed there in 1805. The obvious maintenance-free period since then was beginning to show. The hotel was owned and run by a wonderful very old Chinese couple. Leaving the bride happily enjoying tea with the Fongs, the painter and I walked the 2km back to our first hotel - with the penthouse dormitory - to collect the suitcases. Into the foyer and into a big smile and the promise of adjoining suites on the first floor. The painter stayed to sort through the details with his three words of Malay and the manager’s three words of English. I walked the 2km back to tell the bride the good news. She wished me and the painter well because she wasn’t going back under any circumstances and “be a good lad and drop my suitcase round. Ta!” With the sound of tea being poured and
much laughter between the bride and the Fongs, I set off the 2km back to the painter. I walked into the first hotel foyer to a photo opportunity Tony Abbo would envy - the painter being handed two keys by the manager, both shaking hands and smiling as they turned in my direction. The painter and I negotiated the oppressively hot, bustling streets of Georgetown the 2km back to the Fongs, wheeling three suitcases. We would accost locals and ask them to translate what we could remember of the last words the manager of the first hotel said to us as we scurried out the door. The a empts were met with either sniggering or embarrassed looks. Not sure if it was what the manager said or how we were saying it, or both. The room at the Fongs had a DC3 propellor as an overhead fan and a hole in the “ensuite” door made by somebody pu ing somebody else’s head through it. There was also a neon sign that would go off and on all night but wasn’t supposed to, and a promise from us to return one day - which we most definitely will keep. Next we headed to the 4 and 5 star tourist hotel beach strip of Batu Ferringhi . . . Which just reinforced the desire to go back one day and visit the Fongs. To be continued.

Independent singersongwriter Mick Lindsay loves his new home town of Noosa so much that he has just filmed another music video here.
“What’s not to love about Noosa? I love that the beaches, river and country towns are all within easy reach but all have that unique flare. My last film clip was shot on the beach, so we will see more of the hinterland this time around,” he said. The former carpenter traded job security for the music industry a few years back and has no reason to regret it. His self-titled debut album hit number three in the Australian country music iTune charts, right next to Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts. Not bad going for a self-taught guitarist. His current music video for his second single, Long Way From Over You, has been in the Country Music Channel’s (CMC) TOP 50 Chart several times since its release in October 2013 and has recently managed to stay in the TOP 50 for five weeks straight thanks to fan votes. Lindsay first picked up a guitar in high school after the death of his grandfather. “All the family came home for the funeral and my uncles/cousins were in bands in Sydney so one thing lead to another. Listening to them play and sing, it was a lightning bolt moment and it hit me hard. I still remember how powerful it was. “They showed me a couple of chords and for the next year I was on a mission. I played it ‘til my fingers bled’!” Performing and writing in Nashville over the last five years saw this hell-bent country
rocker emerge with a series of original songs under his belt. An invitation to revisit in 2014 ensures that the next Nashville experience will see him touring with his debut album and there are plans for an Australian tour later this year. “Performing is the big pay off! It’s always a rush to kick it with a crowd. It’s sublime! “Watching the fans’ energy hit that euphoria as they rock and sing-a-long, that’s total fulfillment. It’s not about the dollars: it’s about a legacy. “It’s about being able to create music that moves another human being. They’re the songs that will outlive me. That’s magic!”
It's not about the dollars: it's about a legacy. Mick Lindsay Mick said local support for his music had been incredible. Several local businesses were involved in the production of his new music video, including Capriole Estate, Surf Meets Southwest and Lustre Colour Studio. International model Ema Masters plays the role of leading lady in the video. “I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped make this music video happen and [I’m] looking forward to showing it to the world.”

WELL-WISHERS FROM COMMUNITY GROUPS, LOCAL BUSINESSES, SURF AND SPORTING CLUBS WERE ON HAND TO HELP THE TEWANTIN COMMUNITY BANK BRANCH OF BENDIGO BANK CELEBRATE ITS 10TH BIRTHDAY. Manager Wayne Hoens said the branch has come a long way in the past 10 years. “Our birthday celebration was a lot of fun to organise. When you realise we’ve gone from zero to
more than 2,400 customers and given back $450,000 to our community in that time, it’s a good indication we’re doing something right,” he said. “The fact that this branch was born from the dream of our community wanting its own bank, to now actively financially supporting its community is pretty special. Giving future generations a real say in how the future of Tewantin will be shaped is perhaps the greatest thing we’re celebrating.”

Buttermilk Scones INGREDIENTS
2 cups self-raising flour 1 tablespoon caster sugar Pinch of salt 60g butter, chilled, chopped 3/4 cup buttermilk Extra buttermilk, for brushing Brazilian Cherry Jam and whipped cream, to serve
METHOD
A cherry by any other name
Isn’t it great to experiment with a new ingredient? This week YLM was given a bag of Brazilian cherries – appropriate really, given the location of the World Cup! Eugenia uniflora – also known as the Pitanga, Surinam Cherry or Cayenne Cherry – boasts deep glossy green leaves when mature, and pre y white flowers.
And it has many uses. In Brazil, the leaves are spread on the ground so that when they are crushed, they release an odour that repels flies. The beautiful red fruit delivers a sweet and sour taste, and is very high in vitamin C and a source of vitamin A. The versatile sub-tropical fruit can be used for jellies, jams, wines, liqueurs or eaten fresh from the tree when the spicy/sweet combination is at its best.

Brazilian Cherry Jam Wash cherries, dry and put into a pan with sufficient water to cover. Boil until tender. Strain through muslin (the stones come to the top when cooking). Measure the juice and to each cup, add one cup of sugar and the juice of one large lemon. Boil quickly till it jells, when tested on a chilled saucer. Pour into hot, sterilised jars and seal. The colour is beautiful and it is delicious on scones with cream on top.
Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Position oven rack in the top half of oven. Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in centre of mixture. Add buttermilk. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gently roll dough out until 2cm thick. Using a 6cm round cutter, cut out scones. Press leftover dough together. Repeat to make 12 scones. Place scones, just touching, on prepared tray. Brush with buttermilk. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped on top. Serve with jam and cream.

6. RACY RED LIPS
YOU MUST PRIME
The first step prior to your foundation application is to use a primer. A primer will even out the surface of the skin to a velvety finish diminishing dryness and flakiness, as well as filling in pores and lines. It’s your own personal air brusher! Primers come in a variety of colours - clear, green, purple and orange. The purpose of these is to balance out your skin tone prior to foundation. For instance, if you have broken capillaries or redness of the skin, the use of a green primer will diminish redness leaving you with soft supple skin which is even in colour tone.
2. FLAWLESS FOUNDATION
First you must choose your foundation type. Tinted moisturisers and BB creams work well on all ages and have a sheer natural light coverage. Cream foundations are also suitable for most skin types but need to be used sparingly and you can build up your coverage. With all foundations I recommend starting application in the centre of the face and working your way outwards in a sparing manner to avoid a mask-like appearance. Try not to cover flaws with heavy application as it tends to make the flaw stand out more. Use a light dab of concealer followed by a powder to set.
3. SKY-HIGH LASHES
When you’ve got long lush lashes, you don’t need a ton of other make-up to stand out. First be sure your mascara is no more than a month or two old - fresh mascara glides on easier and won’t flake. Wiggle mascara in at the base of the lash and sweep outward and upward. The trick to sexy natural lashes is to get the thickness into the base of the lashes and taper them naturally to the ends, as opposed to chunky, thick ends. There are also many fibre mascaras on the market which give the illusion of much thicker longer lashes, or why not fake it! The eyelash industry has come a very long way and false
There’s nothing more seductive or feminine - than a bold red pout. A hot, red lip is an essential part of every girl’s bag of tricks. Start with a very sharp lip liner, in the same colour as your chosen lipstick. As you apply, smile a little so the lips are tight and the liner goes on easier. Fill in the lips using the side of the liner, then take a lip brush and apply the lipstick for precision. If you make a mistake, take a little concealer on a small brush and ‘erase’ it.
7. BOLD BROWS
Make-up
A bold brow is an easy way to create an attention-grabbing make-up look. Comb your brows with a eyebrow brush or clean mascara wand to see how they lay naturally. Then, using a soft, slightly waxy brow pencil, shape the brow by using the thinner side of the tip. Then, take the flatter angle of the pencil and fill in the brow using short strokes that look similar to hair. Finish by blending a shimmery highlighter just below the brow bone to add brightness and lift. Alternatively a brow shadow can be used. To do this you will need to use a angled brush and lightly fill in the sparse areas of the eyebrow, always use sparingly and build up colour till desired effect is achieved.
TRICKS OF THE TRADE There is a lot to learn about make-up and beauty, and for the majority of females getting the look right can be overwhelming at the best of times. Whether you are a skilled make-up veteran who executes a killer smoky eye on a regular basis or a beginner who struggles with foundation application, these eight make-up tricks from Elizabeth Kramar at Icon Studios are essential keys to getting the look right. lashes today can look very natural and, with the use of an eyelash applicator, can take two minutes to apply!
4. SMOKY EYES
To score a red carpet-worthy smoky eye, start by lining the inner rim of your lower lashes, working the eyeliner into the lashes. Close your eyes and line the upper lashes, pushing the liner into the lashes so there’s no gap between your lashes and the line. Use an eyeshadow brush to smudge it in, then sweep eyeshadow across your lids and up into your creases, blending outwards and upwards. Use the outer corner of your
eye and the edge of your eyebrow as a guide. Do not go beyond this line.
5. THE ART OF SCULPTING
You don’t have to be born with killer cheekbones. Fake it with this sculpting tip. Sweep a sheer shimmer powder along the top of your cheekbones and just under your temples. Next, pucker up to find the hollows of your cheeks. Dust a deep nude blush in the sunken area just under the cheekbone. Smile and apply blush using circular motions, starting at the apple of the cheek and slowly make larger circles with the brush. Voila! Instant cheekbones!
GIRL 8.DarkBRIGHT-EYED circles can make you look tired. To get a wide-awake look, try this tip. Prepare the under eye area with a hydrating, fast-absorbing eye cream, which will allow products to go on smoothly. Apply a corrector primer to cover the purple or green tones in the skin, then follow with a concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your foundation. Finally, set the under eye area with a pale yellow powder to help it last longer and prevent creasing. Finally apply a white eyeliner to your lower lash line. This make-up trick is one of my favourites. By using white your eyes will look instantly larger, fresher and livelier!

Positive push to help first home buyers According to REIQ CEO Anton Kardash, charting the course of first home buyer activity in Queensland can be a bit like watching a roller coaster. Since 2000 there have been marked peaks and troughs, as first home buyers have responded to general market conditions and, just as importantly, the availability or absence of government incentives. “First home buyer rates are driven in part by affordability, and government-funded incentives have always been a crucial part of this equation,” he said. “The fortunes of first home buyers have fluctuated since the turn of the century, in response to the ebb and flow of incentives which started with the introduction of the $7,000 first home owners’ grant in 2000. “Presently, first home buyer levels in Queensland are below their long-term average. According to the latest Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) Housing Affordability Report, the number of loans to first home buyers in
Queensland fell 11.6 per cent in the March Quarter 2014. “The REIA report also shows there was a slight fall in affordability in Queensland in the March Quarter 2014, with the proportion of income required to meet home loan repayments rising 0.4 percentage points, to 28.3 per cent. However, compared to the March Quarter 2013, housing affordability in Queensland improved with the proportion dropping 2.0 percentage points.” Mr Kardash said while this modest upward trend in affordability over the last year is to be welcomed, he would like to see even more
first-time buyers enjoying the benefits of home ownership. “The REIQ has long supported policies aimed at improving housing affordability and first home ownership rates in Queensland. “We have been a staunch advocate for policies designed to increase the supply of affordable housing and we contributed to the REIA’s submission to the current Senate inquiry into housing affordability. “One of the things we want to see most is the return of the first home owner grant for established housing. Current government policy means there is only a financial incentive for first home buyers buying or building new housing. Doing away with this artificial distinction and making the incentive available for both new and established housing has the potential to boost first home buyer levels. It would help younger Queenslanders in particular to get a foothold in a rising market”
