ho watched Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War when it was on TV a couple of months ago? A few of us in the MWP office got right into it, and you know the thing we talked about most the next day at work? It wasn’t Lachy Hulme’s portrayal of Kerry Packer that had us most impressed (though he could be as scary as the great man himself), or indeed how much the bloke that played Greg Chappell looked like the real deal (at times it was uncanny). No, what had us gas-bagging over the watercooler the next day in the office were the mo‘s. Ah, the ’70s, when smoking was okay and colour tellie was still new, and every man worth his tight shorts and terry towelling hat sported a serious bit of fluff on his top lip (better still if it cascaded down either side of his mouth to caress the chin).

MY PALATE

] And yet if you ask most women if a mo is sexy on a man (I’ve just done a quick poll in the office and we all seem to agree), well, the answer appears to be a resounding ‘no’. It belongs to another era, it seems. Still, we are all out in support of our blokes who this month will take part in Movember. A few of the MWP boys are sprouting facial fur – some with goatees, some with full-blown beards – and no doubt we’ll see plenty of hairy faces around the region as Sunshine Coasters (always good for a cause) take part in the annual fundraising event. This week I take a look at the fun and serious side of the relatively new tradition – that’s over the page. In property on page 34, Jarna Baudinette looks at the importance of saving a deposit, and in Agenda on page 18 we warn of the perils of Facebook. Plus there’s plenty of motoring, weekend activities, news and more. Enjoy!

PREVIEW Feel free to laugh as the men around you start looking a little like Tom Selleck this Movember. It’s all part of the fun with this now international fundraiser. Just keep in mind, the serious issue of men’s neglected health is no laughing matter. COMPILED BY Jemma Pearson

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Social Trends report from June 2010, men were less likely than women to head to a GP for a check-up. While the difference between men and women aged 65 and over is not significant, in the age group 15 to 44, men are far less likely to report to their GPs than women. The ABS believes this may be because women of child-bearing age are much more accustomed to routine medical care. Still, it’s important that these habits change. According to the movember.com website, “Big steps have been taken towards changing attitudes and habits relating to men’s health around the world, but there is still much to be done to catch up with the women’s health movement. “Via the moustache, Movember aims to fulfil its vision of having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health, by continuing to spark conversation and spread awareness of men’s health each year.” This month it’s time to be brave, and don’t shave.

hings are about to get hairy. Across the Sunshine Coast, indeed, across the entire nation, men will throw away their disposable Gillettes and unplug the electric Brauns to take part in Movember. Since 2004 the Movember Foundation has been running the annual month-long event to raise awareness of men’s health issues, with a focus on prostate cancer and depression. The event has now spread throughout the world, with many nations taking part in hirsute pursuits. Funds raised through the Movember foundation (find out more at movember.com) in this nation help programs run by Movember, beyondblue and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The aim of the movement is to change attitudes men have about their health and to educate about the peculiar health risks facing the blokes. Movember organisers want to increase the chances of early detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease in men.

Men’s health facts The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has drawn on a range of sources to provide a snapshot of the health of Australian males. Here are some things the agency has found:

• In 2007, nearly half of males aged 16 to 85 years had experienced a mental health disorder in their lifetime.

• Males born between 2007 and 2009 can expect to live 24 years longer than males born between 1901 and 1910.

• In 2007–08, nearly a third of males had a chronic health condition. This includes males with asthma, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart and circulatory diseases or osteoporosis.

• In 2007-08, around 65 per cent of adult males aged 18 years or over were overweight or obese.

• In 2008–09, 16 per cent of Australian males did not use any Medicare services. M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

The new battle diggers face

…

What is prostate cancer? According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, each year approximately 3300 men die of prostate cancer and about 20,000 new cases are diagnosed in Australia. It is most common in men aged over 50, but younger men with a family history can also be at risk. In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms can be limited or even nonexistent, as it develops, however, symptoms can include urges to go to the toilet, pain and blood in urine. While these symptoms can also indicate problems other than prostate cancer, all men are urged to visit their GPs if they experience anything unusual. Prostate cancer can be cured if detected and treated while still confined to the prostate gland. The most common tests your GP will perform are a rectal examination and blood test. If either test shows abnormal results, your doctor will recommend further testing with a specialist, who may look at doing a biopsy. Annual testing for men 50 and over is recommended.

Did you know?

For hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Australian troops, withdrawal from Afghanistan will simply bring a new battle – with mental illness. The mission of Australia’s conventional armed forces in Afghanistan, codenamed Operation Slipper, concludes in 2014 after 12 years of fighting, at least 39 deaths and 241 diggers wounded. But there is compelling evidence the death and injury toll is only half the picture, with significant numbers of soldiers going on to develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and alcoholism. “We believe that the numbers presenting over the next 20 to 30 years will be significant,” says Returned and Services League (RSL) of Australia president, Rear Admiral Ken Doolan. “... One of the things we wish to avoid as best we can is men, 30 years on, waking up in the middle of the night screaming or crying, or suddenly they get vicious with the family.” The simple fact is, neither the authorities nor the academics know exactly how many troops will be affected by mental illness after the allied forces’ 2014 drawdown. Estimates based on UK- and US-led studies of returning Western troops, from 2004 to 2009, suggest that between four and 18 per cent have developed PTSD. At least 44,000 Australian troops have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. It could be roughly surmised, based on the academic studies, that at least 2000 may develop PTSD. A relatively small number of returned Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans have already developed mental illness, although it can take

years for symptoms to show. Minister for Defence, Science and Personnel Warren Snowdon told September’s RSL national conference that 964 Australian troops had been medically discharged after Middle East deployment. Of those, 440 were discharged for mental health reasons and 70 per cent had become ill as a direct result of deployment. Australian psychiatrist Dr Samuel Harvey says there is no compelling evidence to suggest Australia will suffer a “tidal wave” of disorders. “But that doesn’t mean that we don’t need to be alert for, and have systems in place for, individuals who suffer problems later,” he adds. Harvey, who is associated with the Black Dog Institute, says the number of soldiers with PTSD varies among the military forces of Western nations. This reflected differences in the health systems the veterans returned to, the social backgrounds warriors came from and varying levels of familial support. Harvey, who was involved in some of the continued over >

<from previous page PTSD studies at London’s King’s College, says reservists may be particularly at risk. “A lot of that increased risk seems to be associated with the way in which they deploy – they have to come out of civilian life ... and then after they return home they have to reintegrate into normal life,” he adds. The RSL has criticised the Federal Government’s recent response to the problem, not least because of cuts to the defence budget, which it said did “little to inspire confidence that anything meaningful can be done”. But the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is said to be “on top of it” and adopting a robust approach to helping current and ex-servicemen. To mark last month’s National Mental Health Week, chief of army Lieutenant-General David Morrison AO ordered all serving army units to spend at least two hours discussing mental health. The awareness initiative has included battalions in Afghanistan. The army is acutely aware that a stigma remains attached to mental illness, perhaps even more so in the macho world of frontline combat. “Of particular concern is the inaccurate belief that coming forward to seek help will prevent members from deploying and lead to medical discharge,” army health director Colonel Len Brennan says. Two Australian soldiers have featured in an army video marking the mental health week.

They describe the battle they’ve endured with mental illness since deployment. “We saw death and destruction on a scale that shocked us,” said Captain Ash Judd, who fought in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2009. “... I was fine when I first came home, it was only later that the trouble started. “Those who were working with me definitely would have noticed the deterioration in my mood, my degree of irritability, my emotional disengagement, certainly the degree of alcohol I was drinking.” But he said as PTSD was “such an awkward subject” in the army, few people spoke to him directly about it. Corporal Sarah Archibald, who served in Iraq between 2006 and 2007, said stigma about PTSD was “rife” within the army. “I think talking about it like an injury is what we need to do, and that’s right up the chain (of command),” she said. “... There’s too many of us slipping through the cracks.” In a statement, Snowdon said the ADF had a comprehensive system of care in place and was working to increase support further. “I understand there is still reluctance amongst some personnel and their families to seek help for mental health conditions,” he said. “This often stems from a fear it may affect an ADF career, which isn’t the case at all.” Miles Godfrey, AAP

t’s been a big year for Sunshine Coast marine biologist and Reef Check Australia volunteer Jodi Salmond. In June she became an ambassador of the Vodafone Foundation’s World of Difference Program, winning a $60,000 grant to pursue her passion of marine conservation, working as a full-time community engagement officer with Reef Check Australia. “I was very excited when I won the grant — I finally felt I had found my place,” says Salmond. “I was getting paid to do something I really wanted to do.” Jodi trains experienced divers in reef ecology and biology, and teaches them the Reef Check Australia protocols they need to follow in order to monitor the reefs of South-East Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef – predictions are that half our reefs could be gone within 10 years. She is currently planning a community awareness initiative called REEFSearch, designed to increase understanding of reef health issues.

It is set to be launched throughout schools and dive shops across Australia in January 2013. “REEFSearch is a project that allows everyone to get involved,” says Salmond. “You don’t need training, you can just go out as a snorkeller, reef walker or diver and upload your research to our website. “The fact is, our reefs are in trouble – it’s vitally important everyone realises they can do something. We can all make a difference, and this program will allow people to get out on the reef and see first-hand what’s going on with coral bleaching, sedimentation from flooding and climate change.” For information on REEFSearch visit reefcheckaustralia.org.

Coast hip-hop dancers head to nationals When hip-hop dancer Taneikah Westcombe (pictured centre, in red) was looking to join a dance studio after she left high school she couldn’t find one that suited, so she started one herself. “I’ve been dancing since I was three and taught myself hip-hop,” she says. “I tried out a few classes on the Sunshine Coast” but they didn’t offer her what she was after, “so I decided to start open myself”. Krump Studios, which earlier this year was renamed Soul Studios, was

born.“With our dance school we have casual pay-as-you-go classes and then you can audition [to become part of a] performance crew.” The crews require a higher level of commitment and compete in dance competitions and eisteddfods. The formula not only provides a lot of fun, but has produced some exceptional dancers – Soul Studios students regularly perform and place well in competitions. Recently several Soul Studios crews competed in the 2012 World Supremacy

Battlegrounds qualifiers to represent their state with four qualifying for the national event, which is taking place in Sydney on November 30. Crews that place first, second or third go to the world event the next day. “All states of Australia compete in the nationals and [crews from] around the world compete in the global competition,” says Westcombe. Jodi Reeves has three children who dance at Soul, with one heading to Sydney to compete. “One of the reasons my kids started was because it is really casual so there is not a huge financial outlay to get into dancing, and because it inclusive and casual, it isn’t about ability. This is the perfect environment for kids who want to dance but have never done it before.” Sole Studios is holding a fundraising event on November 17 to help the 33 students get to Sydney. For $20 you can get involved in workshops, there will be graffiti demonstrations and plenty of games. Find out more at the SOLE Studios Facebook page.

Local surfers gearing up for eighth Board Meeting Last year there was a team of ‘Mexicans’ wearing ponchos, sombreros and big moustaches, and the year before there was a team of Star Wars characters, so it’s anyone’s guess what shenanigans we’ll see out on the waves at Kawana for this year’s Board Meeting Corporate Surf Event on Saturday November 10. As the fundraiser for special needs children on the Coast enters its eighth year, founder Mark Skinner is optimistic about reaching the organisation’s annual target of $25,000, adding that the judges are easily bribed with donations of cash, champagne and chocolates.

“If we get 30 teams in the water, then along with our auction afterwards and donations from organisations like the National Australia Bank and Peregian Lions Club, we’re confident we’ll make it and everyone will have their gear by the end of November,” says Skinner. My Weekly Preview has signed up for our fourth year, with two of our publishers, Michael Kramer and Noel Olson, joining in the fun. “Our teams are different from other teams because we have a focus on business,” says Skinner. “They’re all there for the one purpose, and that is to surf and raise money for local kids.”

FIFO service update It is hoped an announcement on the Coast’s much-awaited fly-in, fly-out service will be made by the end of November, says David Wrigley, co-ordinator of the Sunshine Coast Mining and Gas Association. The FIFO advocacy group has liaised with the Sunshine Coast Council and the Sunshine Coast Airport to ascertain the feasibility of a FIFO service. It is believed the service would be used by an estimated 3000 mining workers and encourage greater investment in the Coast. “The economic benefit to our area will be huge,” says Wrigley. “People will be more settled and it will encourage more business to come here. We’re going to create more jobs, directly and indirectly.” While a final decision is yet to be made, Wrigley is cautiously optimistic, and says commercial flights would be offered. “We know it’s been a long time coming and at this moment, we’re very excited because we think we can make a big dent in this.”

MOBILE PHONE GRIPES ON RISE

he smartphone revolution has driven a surge in complaints to the telco watchdog from thousands of exasperated consumers. Complaints about high mobile bills – including one man’s $12,500 debt – to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) doubled in 2011/12, driving a nine per cent rise in mobile gripes. Overall, telco complaints fell by two per cent to 193,702 but concerns about mobile phones made up two-thirds of them at 122,834, the TIO’s annual report says. “This year, we have seen far too often in tens of thousands of cases consumers who come to us frustrated, exhausted and emotional after being unable to resolve often very simple complaints with their service providers,” Ombudsman Simon Cohen says, adding that while some telcos are improving their customer service, others are failing to address issues with data and internet useage charges, leaving their customers

shocked by unexpectedly high bills. Complaints about Telstra dropped 21 per cent, while gripes about Optus and Vodafone jumped 47 and 11 per cent respectively. Federal Communications and Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy says the rise in mobile phone complaints highlights the importance of new rules which are being imposed on carriers from 2013 through the new Telecommunications Consumer Protection Code. Under the code, telcos must notify customers when they reach 50 per cent, 85 per cent and 100 per cent of their mobile plan’s data usage. AAP

WALKING OUT ON MADONNA

adonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concert-goers after she touted US President Barack Obama on her MDNA Tour in New Orleans recently. The Material Girl asked during Saturday night’s performance: “Who’s registered to vote? “I don’t care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama.” Drawing boos in touting Obama over Republican Mitt Romney,

Madonna followed: “Seriously, I don’t care who you vote for … Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote.” Madonna is often outspoken. Some Colorado fans, mindful of a mass shooting there, complained she used a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman in a recent concert act in Denver. A Madonna concert in Paris in July drew ire when a video showed a swastika on a politician’s forehead. AP

Lacking Motivation? No Excitement for life? Can’t get into exercise, overweight, low libido and poor energy? Dopamine is a brain neurotransmitter that controls motivation, happiness, drive, libido and energy. Eating well and exercising is crucial to be healthy, but the body is reliant on a few other things to be able to be happy, motivated, build muscle, lose fat, and produce energy. Three of those things are the right balance of food groups in your diet, protein absorption, and good nutrients.

much of one, compared to another can inf uence your production of insulin. Insulin will send a message to your body to either gain or lose weight. You need to make sure your percentages of each food group is correct, while keeping your portion sizes adequate, but not more than you require. Your body will tell you when you are not eating enough, but will not often tell you when you are eating too much.

Good nutrients, along with proteins, produce dopamine levels in the brain, further making adrenaline, so you have the energy you require to do the exercise you need to achieve the changes in your body you desire. Dopamine is made from tyrosine - an amino acid, B6, folate, zinc, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C and iron. Depression is very common in today’s society, making it hard to get out there and exercise. Both dopamine and serotonin def ciencies are the main causes of depression. Serotonin is also increased in production when you improve your protein absorption and nutrient intake. If depression has been a concern for you, it may be another sign that you have poor protein and nutrient absorption.

With low dietary protein or poor absorption, your muscles cannot grow or repair. Your muscles are the engine of your body that burn calories, the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn and the faster your metabolism will become. For anyone who is training, you require at least 3-6 protein meals daily, you also need to be absorbing it through the gut. Absorption of protein is often taken for granted. If you’ve been ill, or are a little older, there may be a lack of bacteria in the gut necessary to form a complete amino acid chain, which is where a lot of your proteins are manufactured. You should check this if you are weight training and notice no change in the muscle, or cannot lose weight. You may also notice f at moods as protein is required to make your brain neurotransmitters, hormones, motivation and energy.

Balancing fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the diet makes a huge difference when it comes to getting results with exercise, once you have the energy to do it. Muscle growth, and weight loss occur easily when you balance your food groups properly, as too

By addressing each of the above factors, you will have much greater results with the same effort, while improving your mood in the process.

DANGER:

FACEBOOK AHEAD T

housands of young Aussies might have to update their Facebook status from ‘hired’ to ‘fired’ sooner than they’d like. Almost one-third of workers aged between 18 and 25 are friends with their boss on social media, a new survey has found. But more than half them – 58 per cent – admit they’ve never cleared potentially career-damaging content from their profiles. According to a worldwide survey by anti-virus company AVG, 13 per cent of working generation Yers

in Australia admit to posting abusive content about their boss or company after a bad day at work. They’re not nearly as angry as young employees in Italy, where 18 per cent express their emotions online. Nor are they as fearless as the 80 per cent of Spanish young adults who say they’ve posted inappropriate images online. Only 28 per cent of Australians admit to sharing unsuitable pictures on social networking sites. The survey, which canvassed 4400 people in 11 countries, also found one in 12 young Australians had

been asked in a job interview about things they’ve posted online. AVG’s Australian security adviser Michael McKinnon says the level of comfort with social media is blurring the line between young people’s professional and private lives. “It seems obvious that posting abusive content about a boss or workplace is not very sensible, but it’s important to understand that not only could it damage a person’s existing career, it could negatively impact on future opportunities too,” McKinnon says. But while friending your boss can be a perilous exercise, the mere act of being on Facebook could damage your health. The bottom line – if you want to keep away from fattening treats, maybe you should keep away from Facebook. Why? Well according to a recent study by two marketing professors, just five minutes spent browsing the social networking site lowers self-control. “When people use Facebook, they feel happier about themselves,” says Andrew Stephen, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh in the US, who co-authored the study. “People who feel better about themselves are less likely to self-regulate. They almost give themselves a free pass to indulge in something.” The momentary boost in selfesteem, and subsequent relaxing of

self-control, was strongest among those who focused on close friends while perusing the social network. But people of all ages participating in the five studies comprising the research proved equally likely to lose control. Facebook viewers were more likely to choose a chocolate chip biscuit over a presumably healthier snack, such as a muesli bar, and gave up more quickly when presented with difficult maths problems. Those who reported spending more time on Facebook in their daily routines were also more likely to be overweight and have lower credit scores. Stephen suspects it is the repeated small indulgences that lead to Facebook users’ weight and financial woes. “We have to be careful about using social media in the sense that it can momentarily affect us psychologically,” he says. From a marketing perspective, the study may be a step toward learning what type of advertising is most enticing on social media sites – say, luxury goods over toilet paper. But he says the research could also be useful in people’s daily lives, especially if they’re trying to avoid temptation. “If [you’re] about to go home and [you] want to go to the gym, don’t spend time on Facebook while you’re on your way,” he says. “You may decide not to go.” AAP

Mixing work and play Here are the results of the AVG Technologies’ Digital Diaries study about young Australian workers’ interaction with social media: • Nearly one-third of working Australians, aged between 18-25, are Facebook friends with their boss. • 13 per cent admit they post abusive content online about their boss or company. • 54 per cent have never audited their online prof le or cleaned up potentially career-damaging content. • 58 per cent say they accessed social network sites on their phones because they were banned at work stations. • 38 per cent don’t restrict work colleagues from their Facebook prof le. • Only 28 per cent admit to posting inappropriate images online, compared with 80 per cent of Spanish users.

WINNING BUSINESS FOR LOCALS

he private hospital is already looming on the landscape, and the region’s newest public hospital, in the health hub at Kawana, will soon be sprouting out of the ground. There is no doubt there will be plenty of opportunities for work, but how do locals ensure they get a slice of the health hub pie? Where do plumbers, tilers, landscapers and paint suppliers go to find out what work opportunities are available? According to the Sunshine Coast Council, the first step is just a mouse click away. Any business or individual looking to gain work on the Sunshine Coast University Hospital project must get prepared now, by registering their business with a company called ICN. ICN is the modern way for works packages to be released on major projects like the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, a council spokesman says. “It’s a not-for-profit organisation funded by the federal and state governments and whose job is to match works packages with the businesses that have the capabilities and capacity to perform the work,” he says. “For a business to have any chance of winning any work – from supplying carpet tiles or plants or even digging the holes that those plants go in – they have to be registered with ICN. “The process, in a nutshell, is that a company contracted to work on the project will release a ‘works package’ every time the company needs a contractor to complete a certain component of the project. That works package will go through the ICN Gateway, which will search the system for the appropriate business. “It might find four matches of businesses that have the capacity to do the job, and a tender

The good news for those locals overwhelmed by the forms and registrations is that council is here to help document will be sent out to those businesses.” The spokesman says it is a more streamlined way of engaging those in the tender process than, say, putting an ad in the tenders section of the local paper. “The good news for those locals who are overwhelmed by the idea of forms and registrations, is that council is here to help,” the spokesman says. The council has put together a video outlining the process and will also be conducting workshops in coming weeks and months to help businesses to register, assist to develop management systems and even partner with other local businesses to create joint ventures and a bigger business footprint. While ensuring that as many locals benefit from the hospital project as it can, there is another – and potentially more important – reason the council is arming local businesses with the skills to work on such a massive project. “We want businesses to use this project as a catalyst to up-skill the local workforce so that they are ready for other major projects in the region, like the planned Maroochydore CBD and other major private developments,” says the spokesman. “While the council is not involved in awarding any of the contracts associated with the construction of the hospital, it is working closely with the development consortium partners to do

what it can to highlight the opportunities for local businesses. “Lend Lease has been fantastic so far – council organised a series of information sessions across the region when the hospital consortium was first announced and Lend Lease immediately volunteered to be involved. “Lend Lease has also conducted a series of industry briefings for businesses in the region during September and October. They are liaising closely with council and it is pleasing to note that to date, most of the foundation work has gone to local businesses.” To find out more about what help you can receive, and to view the video that shows you how to register with ICN, head to the website business.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/sitePage. cfm?code=sc-uni-hospital.

DODGING THE FISCAL CLIFF

Anthony Ward is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

he ASX 200 index has staged an impressive recovery since the middle of the year, having recently achieved a 12-month high. It has actually caught a number of investors off guard, as many were waiting for disaster in the wake of the euro-debt crisis, moderating Chinese growth and the impending US fiscal cliff. It hasn’t been happy times for all sectors in the market though. With the cash rate continuing its steady grind lower, money has been making its way out of the term deposit world back into equities. Not all equities have enjoyed this lift. It has mainly been restricted to those of the blue-chip nature, offering defensive qualities and a solid fully franked dividend yield. So, investors have been forced to exit their 4.5 per cent term deposit for a 10 per cent share dividend yield (including franking). This move has been the force pushing share prices of the banks, Telstra, Woolworths, Wesfarmers and others like them. We now have the ASX200 sitting near 4500, having met many analysts’ end-of-year targets. Also, the rise in these defensive type stocks has left company valuations very stretched from a value point of view. We may start to see further funds flowing into other sectors of the market which have been unloved in recent times. The resource sector with stocks such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Woodside Petroleum could well benefit from such a shift. Turning our focus to the US, it’s certainly proving a close contest for the US presidential election with voting on the November 6. Much attention has been given to this event and the effect this will ultimately have on investment markets. This is being supported by the significant policy differences between President Obama and Republican candidate Romney, and how this will play out with the looming US fiscal cliff. The so-called ‘fiscal cliff’, which will be reached on January 1 next year, is a combination of events that

MY W EEKLYPREVIE W. CO M . AU

21.indd 1

could have devastating consequences on the US economy if not addressed. The main measures are the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, the expiration of the payroll tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits that were part of Obama’s stimulus measures, and cuts to health and defence that flowed from last year’s debt ceiling agreement. The consensus view is that whoever wins will put measures in place to avert the full impact of the cliff. This should see investor confidence grow and hopefully cause share prices to climb higher.

THE WEEK THAT WAS

HOT TIP Accumulate – AGL Energy (AGK). We have lifted our recommendation from hold to accumulate. Last week’s downward revision to guidance reflected the impact of tariff changes in South Australia and Queensland. At least the impact of these changes has now been quantified, while management is set to react by cutting discounting and marketing in these states. Current price-to-earnings ratio of 12.3x with a 4.7 per cent dividend yield is close to (but not quite) being in the ‘cheap’ zone. Source: Ord Minnett Buderim

f your gran grandma cooked it for your mum or dad, and yo your mum and dad love it, your mum is goi going to cook it for you, and you’re yo ou’re going to lo love it and you’re going to cook it ffor o your children,” or children says Leila McKinnon. That’s typical of lineage of the food in Australia’s A stralia’s Favou Au Favourite Recipes, which the Nine N Ne Network twork host h has edited. The book is billed as “cherished “c family recipes from around the country” – recipes that flooded oode in by the hundreds when McKinnon spread th the word on TV and radio. “The standard was w incredible,” she says. That’s hardly surprising, su given each recipe had been tested hundr hundreds of times over generations. But time and familiarity have a way of making people careless, especially e when it comes to measurements. McKinnon M would find herself asking donors, “Lo “Look, when you say ‘a handful of this’ or ‘add the ric rice’, how much do you mean?” McKinnon’s mother mo handed over the family’s rice pudding recipe. “It was the vaguest one of all – it was like, ‘pour some rice r in a bowl, add some sugar’.” s out to collect the sort of McKinnon set recipes that d define families and she has been surprise at people’s generosity – “these surprised aren’t things t you want to give away lightly” – but also a understands why some were moved to tears when told their dish had been selected for the book. “There is a lot of love and creativity and history in all a of these recipes,” she says. Food has h a way of taking you back in time, she sh says, and grandmothers who have passed away live on through their recipes because “the senses of smell rec and taste are so powerful”. AAP

“Speed is of the essence here. Cook it quickly and gobble it down straight away. The eating quickly part is easy in our family as this is one of those appetisers that is never waved away. It’s hard to avoid overcooking the squid, which turns to the texture of rubber in a nanosecond, but when you get it right, it’s an impressive dish for a home cook.” – Pauline Von Goes, North Fitzroy, Victoria

VON TEESE’S BEAUTY SECRETS

ita Von Teese is so obsessed with make-up she “freezes lipstick”. The burlesque star is known for her love of retro glamour. Von Teese, who is rarely pictured without her signature red lipstick, revealed her love for the make-up item extends to a passion for deluxe packaging. “I collect vintage lipstick tubes – I freeze my lipsticks and then transfer them to the vintage cases. It’s tricky to do, but it’s tough to find good, beautiful lipstick cases,” Von Teese has revealed. “I’ll do that with whatever red I’m wearing.” She has a passion for products, and confesses that her beauty routine dominates much of her life as she insists on doing her hair and make-up herself. “I colour my own hair, too. I hate beauty salons. I hate them because I hate making appointments for something else, another appointment, and I

TURBO NO LONGER A DIRTY WORD AT BMW WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP

A Daimler Brand

t’s not all that long ago that ‘turbo’ was a bit of a dirty word at BMW. There was a purist streak at the famous German company that insisted, by and large, that the Ultimate Driving Machine should be powered by a high-revving, normally aspirated engine, preferably with six cylinders, all in line. Perhaps the ultimate expression of that was the previous model BMW M3 – possessor of what remains, in the eyes of many, the most wondrous six-cylinder engine to grace the planet. Not to mention the equally fabulous, Formula One-bred V10 which powered the M5 and M6. But times change, and philosophies change with them. Hence that aversion to force-fed engines has faded from view at BMW, where turbo-charging is the new continued over >

< from previous page force behind a fast-evolving range of vehicles. It’s become the very foundation of their ‘Efficient Dynamics’ motto, with turbo-boosted engines at each end of the model spectrum, from small fours to high-performance V8s – a world away from the brand’s past philosophy. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you. Take the latest version of the Z4 roadster, for example. A potent, turbo-charged two-litre engine has breathed fresh life into this desirable two-seater, which we’ve tested in numerous forms in recent years but never more effective, pound-forpound, than this one. We’ve never had many complaints about the Z4, particularly the current version which, for the first time, has married its razor-sharp handling with a slightly more compliant ride. Whereas once it was a focused and hard-edged driving machine in the Porsche mould, it has gradually become more user-friendly, if a little less driver-centric, following the lead of its arch-rival Mercedes-Benz SLK. Given that Benz has recently launched an entirely new SLK, the arrival of this new and improved engine option gives the Z4 a welcome

sales boost. Known as the Z4 sDrive28i in BMW’s ever more complicated naming convention, our test car features for the first time a two-litre, four-cylinder engine boosted to produce 180 kilowatts, plus 350 Newton metres of torque. That means it’s seriously quick, reaching the speed limit in a brisk 5.7 seconds, while managing a modest thirst of 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres. We’ve driven quicker versions of this model. Mind you, the Z4 Sdrive3.5si, with a twin-turbo six-cylinder, boasts supercar performance with about 250 kilowatts on tap. But the biggest bonus of plonking a lighter, but almost-as-powerful four-cylinder engine into the Z4 is that it creates a lighter, more nimble machine to drive. This latest version of the Z4 has never been a lightweight – with its folding steel roof taking the place of the traditional, lighter cloth top previously used by BMW for this model. But the weight gains achieved with the smaller engine make it feel instantly more like the sports car it was always intended to be. It’s truly a joyous thing to drive, tempting you to pitch it into corners just to feel how assuredly it bites into

MY MOTORING INSIDER The latest news from MWP’s man on the ground

Petrol versus diesel cost comparison Here is a simple cost comparison equation to help you work out how critical fuel consumption is when choosing a car. This example uses the following variables: * CX5 petrol: 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres at 15,000 kilometres per year and $1.46 per litre. Annual approximate fuel cost is $1402 * CX5 diesel: 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres at 15,000 kilometres per year and $1.46 per litre. Annual Approximate fuel cost is $1248. So the saving per year (based on driving at estimated fuel consumption rate and petrol and diesel prices being equal ) is $153 (an extra 5000 kilometres saves another $50). Do this over five years and a petrol model will cost you $765 more. The question is now, how much more did you pay for your diesel-powered vehicle and when is the break-even point? Market prices have diesel engine premiums anywhere from $1000 to $3500. Other factors to consider are power, resale and general driving appeal. Note: Variables in this exercise are estimates and examples only. Fuel consumption figures sourced from carshowroom.com.au [ 30 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ N O VE M B E R 2, 2 0 1 2

the tarmac; dancing through roundabouts and then gunning the punchy little engine out the other side. The excellent eight-speed sports automatic transmission fitted to our test machine (a $3500 premium over the standard six-speed manual) was a perfect fit, too. There has always been a certain sound you expect to come from the tail-end of a BMW – that sonorous, crisp bark of a straight-six engine which identifies the beautifully engineered powerplant within. But not this one. This one sounds like an Alfa, which is not such a bad thing. As incredibly engaging and competent as the Z4 is, though, its typical buyer is more likely to be a lady on her way to the salon than a young buck on his way to the rally track. With that in mind, the Z4’s

cabin is nicely trimmed in polished wood and supple leather, although the layout, which impressed us greatly when this car was first unveiled three or four years back, is beginning to look just a touch dated. Buyers will certainly like this car’s price tag – at $89,400 plus onroad costs, it provides far more punch, and hence driving enjoyment, than the Z4’s previous entry-level model (the Sdrive20i at $76,900) which was a bit cheaper, but much less fun. It will also be welcomed, no doubt, by BMW dealers – with a new Z4 still some way off they were probably starting to do it tough against the much newer, and very good, Mercedes SLK released earlier this year. The new powerplant should help give the Z4’s sales a boost. A turbo boost, you could say.

Now that’s what I call an off-roader Carsguide reports Mini is looking at adding another model to the stable – a convertible boat. It came about after a challenge was put to US dealers to come up with something different for a special sales event. Sadly, this is a one-off concept and won’t be headed for the showroom.

That’ll be $10,000 for a plate, please! In an attempt to limit the number of cars in China, the government has implemented severalstrategies, including limiting the number of new registrations issued to each city per year. The problem is, the rich who can afford to drive will drive no matter what. License plates are now selling at auctions for more than $10,000. That’s more or less the average yearly income of a private-sector employee. Some have resorted to buying plates from nearby cities or

driving without a license plate which incurs a fine that is the fraction of the price of a license. Some strategies obviously have some unintended consequences. (Source: International Business Times) M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

DO YOU REALLY NEED

A BIG DEPOS I PREVIEW If the thought of saving a massive deposit for your first home is freaking you out, relax – you may not need as much as you think. WORDS Jarna Baudinette

[ 34 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ N O VE M B E R 2, 2 0 1 2

hether it’s a holiday, a new car or your first home, saving for a big purchase can be challenging. Living costs are on the rise, especially if you are renting, and these days there are myriad additional expenses – such as gym memberships, mobile phone plans and private health insurance – that can eat into the average household’s weekly savings. When my parents bought their first home back in 1976, they managed to save $2000 as a deposit on a $30,000 loan. (At the time, Mum told Dad he was crazy to borrow such a huge sum of money.) However, a 2011 study by BankWest into the savings habits of first-time buyers in Queensland found the average couple now needs to save $81,200 to have a 20 per cent deposit on a typical home loan – a feat that typically takes more than four years. Saving that much cash seems flat-out impossible for a lot of people, so the advent of mortgage insurance – which allows you to apply for a loan with a much lower deposit – has helped many firsttimers enter the property market. However, Brad Nolan from Eastern Financial Solutions says you will still need to have some deposit to secure that first set of keys. “For first-home buyers, if we’re in mortgage insurance territory – borrowing over 80 per cent of the purchase price – the minimum requirement is five per cent genuine savings, in most cases,” Nolan says. ‘Genuine savings’ refers to funds that have been progressively saved or held in a bank account for at least three months.

“Over and above that, banks are just looking for the capacity to make repayments,” Nolan says. “If you’re looking at buyers who have never saved, have been living rent-free and still haven’t got money left over, it’s hard to convince a bank that will change when they have a loan.” While the five per cent is a bare minimum requirement, you will also need to cover anything over two per cent of the cost of your mortgage insurance – which is generally 2.5 per cent of the total purchase price when borrowing 95 per cent – as lenders will allow you to only borrow up to 97 per cent, including mortgage insurance. This takes you to 5.5 per cent as a deposit. If you are purchasing a new property, you will receive the State Government’s $15,000 first-home owner’s grant, but if not, Nolan suggests you need at least seven per cent “plus that extra bit of cash to cover costs”. “If [the buyer] is not getting a grant and

Banks are just looking for the capacity to make repayments Brad Nolan they’re paying for everything, we use 10 per cent as a rule of thumb to cover stamp duty, solicitor’s fees and so on,” Nolan says. For most people, saving requires sticking to a fairly strict budget, and even adjusting one’s living situation. Local real estate agent Lauren McCarthy and her partner, Shea, are saving for their first home and have enacted a savings plan which involves living with his parents for a few months. “We had always talked about buying a house but it seemed unachievable,” McCarthy says. “But we then realised saving the deposit really wasn’t as difficult as we were making it out to be. “Our lease came up for renewal in the house we were sharing with three others, and we decided it was time that we lived in our own place alone together. The thought of having to

take out another six-month lease, pay bond and rent in advance, do an entry report plus pay a large amount of rent each week just to live by ourselves made us feel sick, so we decided to move in with his parents to save some serious cash,” McCarthy says. McCarthy says she and her partner hope to purchase a home in January and have calculated the short time frame means they need to save at least $1000 per week towards a deposit. As well as around $300 in saved rent expenses per week, they have a designated ‘house savings’ account which must not be touched. “We thought saving that much money was ridiculous and not going to happen, but honestly, once we set up the non-negotiable direct debit into our savings account, it was really manageable,” McCarthy says. “We still spend what’s left over, as usual!” For those buyers who don’t have the option of moving home to save on rent, a realistic budget is the key to managing savings. A good strategy is to divide your weekly expenses into three categories: non-negotiables (such as rent, groceries and bills), discretionary spending (things you need but have some control over, like weekend entertainment) and luxury items (new clothes, a holiday or eating out a few times a week). This will highlight how much you’re actually spending and how much you could save if you cut down on luxuries, which is

what most people need to do to save a deposit. However, Nolan says declining interest rates mean buying a home can work out cheaper than renting for some people (especially if you are moving every six to 12 months and needing to cover upfront costs each time, as McCarthy was). If you want to take advantage of the current market but have limited savings on hand, there are a few circumstances in which you can still obtain a loan. “If a client has rented through a registered agency for the most recent 12 months and has a rental ledger showing they were never in arrears, there are a couple of lenders that will accept that in lieu of genuine savings,” Nolan says. Another possibility is the family assist option, where a buyer borrows 80 per cent of the purchase price against the property itself and the remaining 20 per cent against an immediate family member’s property. This reduces the need for monetary savings and “also gets around having to spend thousands of dollars on mortgage insurance altogether”, Nolan says. Finally, another thing to consider is that your deposit amount may affect the structure of your loan. Nolan says while in the past a bank’s interest rate was calculated on the size of the loan, these days, many banks offer rates differently, with a number of factors going into determining a product.

“You may find the bigger the deposit, the better the interest rate you’ll be able to achieve,” Nolan says. For buyers with a smaller deposit, “if you go straight to one bank you’ll only be offered the one rate, but if you go through a broker that has connections to numerous financial institutions, we may be able to secure you a better rate”.

TOP TIP As a f rst-time buyer, obtain independent f nancial advice and be realistic about the size of repayments you can afford, especially if you are planning to pay principal plus interest. McCarthy says after assessing her options with a mortgage broker, “and f nding out what repayments are on a $400,000 loan, we decided that it would be much more comfortable to spend under $350,000. “I see so many young people over-extend themselves with their f rst property, and I would much rather keep it comfortable in the low price bracket and use it as a stepping stone in a couple of years’ time to fulf l our dream of acreage,” McCarthy says.

SUCCESSFUL DUO NOW AT RE/MAX

ichael Reck and Mark Clayton have joined the successful sales team at Caloundra’s RE/MAX Property Services. Clayton is a licensed real estate agent and auctioneer who was born and bred on the Coast. For eight years he has been a leading agent, attaining great sales results thanks to his capacity as a skilled negotiator, and, he says, a passion for the industry. Reck is a real estate sales professional and has lived on the Sunshine Coast for more than 20 years.

Due to his former career in IT and a passion for the latest technology and online marketing, Mike brings an array of skills that not all agents can boast. Working as the MM7 team, Reck and Clayton hope to bring a new and innovative perspective to real estate. They believe the industry is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Blending traditional real estate skills of negotiation, copy writing, marketing and auctioneering with photographic, video, and online marketing they provide an all-in-one package.

Working as a team since 2008, Reck and Clayton hope to continue to provide a results-driven property marketing service under the RE/MAX brand. They believe that past success coupled with the RE/MAX global branding power is complemented by their knowledge of the local property market.

NEW COURSE WORK GETS UNDERWAY

evelopment has begun at the new site for the Horton Park Golf Course, with the first sod turning held last week in Bli Bli. Horton Park Golf Club general manager Charlie McGill says it is an exciting time for the club’s 1200 members and the region. “It’s been a long, long process to get to this

point and our members are all extremely happy with the outcome and future plans for the club. “We are thrilled that we have been able to use our existing course at Maroochydore and retain the jobs of 30 staff members while the new course is being built – the result has been a great win-win for our members and the

broader community,” he adds. The new golf course is expected to be open to its members in 2014. Last week’s sod turning ceremony was conducted by junior captain William White and the oldest playing member, 92-yearold Lee Davis. The players are a representation of the history and the future of the club.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 Rushing rams have a tendency to burn the candle at both ends. As the moon moves into your home zone, slow down and spend quality time with your nearest and dearest.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Being stubborn or jealous will get you nowhere fast this weekend Taurus. In order for your relationships to blossom, you need to give loved ones plenty of space and room to shine.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 When the moon’s in your sign you’re double the fun – and twice as much trouble! Having a good time is your goal on Saturday but pace yourself, or you’ll pay the price.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Many people are in the mood to party, but you’ll feel in hermit crab mode on Saturday. Sunday is complicated, as the moon stirs up insecurities and you feel misunderstood.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 It’s time to roll up your sleeves and accept domestic responsibilities. The more love and care you put into family relationships, the more you’ll receive in return.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 You’re in the mood to research and investigate, as you don your detective cap or grab your magnifying glass. Avoid being confrontational with others though.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Saturday night is best for romantic reveries. Sunday looks stressful, as tricky aspects diminish your usual diplomatic touch. It will be impossible to please everyone – so don’t try!

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 You may feel emotionally vulnerable on Sunday, but don’t make things worse by being moody and playing power games. If you are defensive, you’ll just attract the opposition of others.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 With Mercury and Mars both moving through your sign, you’re at your talkative best – and insensitive worst. You’ve got plenty to say, but make sure you take the time to listen as well.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 There could be some tension this weekend between personal and professional responsibilities. Trying to impose your views on others won’t work. Compromise is the key.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 If you can turn creative ideas into practical projects, then you’ll taste professional success. Looking for a job? Don’t give up – Saturn is testing your persistence.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Creativity is high this weekend Pisces, as delicious daydreams whisk you away into fantasy land. When it comes to a problem with a child or friend, trust your intuition.

SURF REPORT

with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well hopefully everyone got some waves at the end of last week while there was some swell around, because it’s looking ordinary again this week. On Thursday there are only tiny waves to one foot with light N/NW winds swinging fresh NE for the arvo. Friday has a N/NE windswell only up to one foot with moderate N/NW winds early tending strong northerlies later. Saturday will have similar conditions to Friday with N/NE winds early with a moderate SE change through the arvo with an increase in windswell up to around two foot. On Sunday the SE windswell will ease and winds will swing back N/NW throughout the day. With high tide midmorning, the only chance of a wave is to get in early on the open beaches out of the wind and f nd a bank. Good surf ng.
