OUR STORY

My Weekly Preview is a high-quality magazine delivering more of what matters to the Sunshine Coast. It features news, business, regular columnists, interesting facts and figures for that hot topic at the dinner table, motoring, socials, travel, health, lifestyles and more, as well as the most up-to-date information on local real estate. The magazine is 100% locally owned, which means we don’t just talk about being local, we are local, we live it every day. Delivered fresh every Friday. We’re also conscious of the environment at MWP – all our home delivered magazines are wrapped in biodegradable plastic.

wenty years ago I spent a week on Boracay in the Philippines, the last stop of my first overseas trip. I had a barman called Bimbo, met a pool shark called Maria and discovered diving.

I was just about the only tourist left on the island, which meant I had free rein over the rainbow coloured reefs and their fascinating fish.

I still remember that feeling when about 20 metres down I looked up to see a spotlight of sun piercing the surface – I was at peace – and vowed to dive forever.

Of course I did what most people do and flew home and continued my career as a journalist with barely a look back.

Not so Josh Jensen. Once he scratched the surface of the ocean to see what was underneath he decided to dedicate his life to filming fish and protecting their habitats. Josh is the subject of this week’s cover story.

Also in this edition, we check out Aussie ski resorts, talk with Joe Natoli about his new career and there’s a bumper crop of property. Enjoy.

QUICK CHAT

KING OF THE KIDS Maroochy Surf Club’s Nathan ‘Bugsy’ Grieg takes his role as a Nippers coach seriously – but not too seriously.

FIRST JOB?

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE?

I started doing a paper run at 12 but my first full-time job was as a lifeguard, stationed at Alex.

I’d have to say when my two boys were born. Things don’t really surprise me a lot, but it’s certainly different when all of a sudden you’re going home with someone else in the back of the car.

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES… My partner Tamara and two sons Jed and Ari, 5 and 7.

CAN YOU NOMINATE A DAY IN YOUR LIFE THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A TURNING POINT?

FIRST CAR? 1974 HQ Kingswood. It was my grandfather’s and it was in immaculate condition.

IMAGE: CARLYLOOYAH.COM.AU

FAVOURITE BOOK? Wayne Bennett’s Don’t Die With the Music In You. He has a simple yet clear message, he doesn’t overcomplicate it. I like that way of coaching. I try to keep it as simple as possible, try not to overload them. The simpler the message, the easier it is to remember.

FAVOURITE SONG? Billy Joel, Piano Man.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? I was born at Nambour and have lived here my whole life. My grandparents were from Ipswich and came here every year for holidays for 30 years. My parents moved here a year before they did. Dad loved the beach but mum didn’t like getting her hair wet, which was pretty funny to us growing up.

WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE? I’ve travelled a fair bit and I just love it. I love the climate, I like the changes of each season, I love the river and fishing on the river and I love the beaches. I don’t really want to live anywhere else. I lifeguarded in Japan at 18 for three months and in my early 20s I lifeguarded

at Jersey in the English Channel. I spent three months over there and another couple of months going through Europe, New Zealand, Indonesia and the Maldives surfing. I think in overall terms, one it’s home and while we might not have the waves of Indonesia or the Maldives, we certainly have a better quality of life.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ON THE COAST WHAT WOULD IT BE? It’s overpopulated. I preferred it when there were less people here. I know you need the people for the economy and employment, but to grow up here in the 80s, it was magnificent. I think it was a lot more relaxed. I know it’s relaxed now, but for a young kid growing up here, there were not as many people in the

The first time you catch a really big wave is a turning point. I was about 12 or 13.

You actually get something decent and you go wow, I want to do that again.

YOU ARE HAPPIEST WHEN?

surf or the river fishing and you had free rein of the place. I think it will grow more but I hope it doesn’t. I hope we don’t turn into the Gold Coast and lose our charm.

If there’s too many people it kills it.

When I’m playing with my boys or playing cricket with them out the front, or when the surf is really good. Nothing beats having a good day in the surf. I haven’t pushed my kids into surfing or Nippers. They spend half their time digging sandcastles. I think a lot of kids start too young in Nippers. I just want my kids to be kids and enjoy life. I’m very conscious of not pushing kids too hard too early.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST?

IF YOU COULD TELL YOUR 18 YEAR-OLD SELF ANYTHING WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Maroochy River. I’m a fisherman. In winter I get out a couple of times a week.

I wouldn’t say we’re setting record books but we get a feed.

WHAT FRUSTRATES YOU THE MOST? I get frustrated with the lack of respect shown out in the water when there’s too many people out there. There’s also a lack of respect for the environment, with people taking undersize fish. It’s rife.

Stop going out so much and buy a house.

When I was 22 you could buy a house for 100,000 grand not far from the beach.

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE, TEA OR COFFEE AND HOW DO YOU HAVE IT? Coffee in the morning, flat white no sugar. Tea at night.

NRL OR AFL AND WHO DO YOU FOLLOW? NRL – The Broncos.

FISH ON FILM Meet the Sunshine Coast man trying to uncover the secret world of fish.

WORDS: Richard O’Leary

“She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.”

Lewis Carroll

S

unshine Coast marine biologist Josh Jensen is trying to save the world’s fish, one species at a time.

His mission is to film every species of fish in the world’s tropical seas, and show why what happens beneath the water’s surface is so important to those above it. Over the past 14 years he has dived about 6000 times and filmed more than 36,000 clips.

“It’s like Alice through the looking glass, putting your hand through a mirror, your face through a mirror, there’s this whole other world and it’s right there. It’s so simple, why the hell isn’t everyone else going in to have a look?

“It’s complete solitude and complete oneness with nature. I accept down there I’m on my own, 100 per cent, and I’m in the food chain, I can get eaten by something bigger than me and I reckon that keeps you alive. That to me is the most fantastic aspect of it.”

While Jensen lives in Noosa, his aquatic playground of choice is the Coral Triangle, nearly six million square kilometres of ocean between Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste.

12 My Weekly Preview | May 22, 2015

12.indd 1

More than 3000 species of fish live there – and he estimates he’s filmed more than half of them, but he won’t be satisfied until he’s caught them all on camera.

“What is totally clear to me is every one of them matters. If any of them are important then they’re all important.

That’s the thing. What we don’t know is how they all interact. “ He says only then will we be in a position to make informed decisions about our underwater habitats rather than the knee-jerk approach which passes for policy at the moment.

“The Moses perch for example. For that species, there’s a little cardinal fish which it mimics when it’s really small. And then it mimics a small snapper, and then a mid-sized snapper, and then a different mid-sized snapper, and then a big sweetlips, and the fact that it mixes with these different schools at various stages of its life suggests to me that each of those five species is crucial to the health and success of the Moses perch.

“So if suddenly no one is catching them anymore, do we just say no more fishing of Moses perch? That may help, but what actually stopped them being caught? Did we catch them all? Or did we catch all the mid-sized snappers? How do we know which species are important

“What is totally clear to me is every one of them matters. If any of them are important then they’re all important” until we’ve filmed them all? My gut feeling is they are all important.”

Jensen uploads his footage to his website, and offers the low-resolution clips to the public free of charge – all so he can raise awareness about marine life, and encourage people to change what they do in and out of the water.

“I love film‘s ability to show us things not easily witnessed firsthand. The interactions between species are what matters and often we only notice interesting behaviour when reviewing footage after the dive – speeding up footage often shows us movement we didn’t even notice. I have learned more about marine ecology watching and cataloging those 36,000 clips with Wikipedia and my library than I did during the 6000 hours underwater.“

Jensen was nearly the fish expert that got away. Born in Ipswich and raised as a RAAF kid near the Amberley Air Base and then Logan, he had an introduction to diving he’d rather forget.

“My first dive, I think I was 12, my sister kicked the regulator out of my mouth, the instructor didn’t even notice, I shot to the surface, put my reg back in and went back down before he even realised. I didn’t dive again for a few years until I was in the 12th grade and diving was offered as a school elective, so that’s when I took it up and got certified.”

And he was hooked. He went to James Cook University in Townsville to study marine biology. But even before he started classes, he joined the campus dive club where he was able to hang out with PhD students and lecturers who turned the myweeklypreview.com.au

Great Barrier Reef into a giant classroom.

“All you were doing was talking fish and learning, and speaking Latin, you didn’t know half of what you were hearing but you just learnt it by osmosis. Each person had their own species or tiny aspect of marine biology that they were trying to study so that’s what they would talk about, so you would get this little insight, and you would pick up something from someone else and eventually you put together this picture of the underwater world.”

He graduated as a marine biologist and spent the next few years working on dive boats around Cairns. He applied for a job to become a photo video pro with the biggest dive boat operator in the area, and despite having no experience behind the camera, won the job and with just one week’s training was thrown into the deep end: shooting, editing, developing photos and teaching others how to film.

It became his labour of love and in the same year he met the love of his life. In 2002 Liz Harlin was an investment banker on a sabbatical from the corporate world as she pursued her passion for diving and photography, when she met Jensen while working in Cairns. Sharing an obsession with all things beneath the ocean’s surface with Jensen, she never went back home.

“You’re in your own space. All you can really hear is your breathing and the soft crackles of the reef. It’s a bit zen,” Harlin says.

Harlin is now considered one of Australia’s best underwater photographers and was recently named the 2015 Queensland AIPP Wildlife & Wild Places Photographer of the Year. Together they formed Undersea Productions and have dedicated their lives to capturing that perfect shot to try and open a window on their world for others.

Internationally overfishing, destructive fishing (longlines, fish aggregation devices and purse seines), illegal fishing, unfair fishing (exploitation of fish stocks in poorer countries) and climate change are being blamed for depleted fish stocks and

reduced biodiversity. A United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation report in 2010 found just 23 per cent of the world’s fish stocks are underexploited or moderately exploited with the rest fully exploited, over exploited, depleted or recovering from depletion.

After thousands of hours in the water Jensen says the biggest problems he sees are; livestock being given unfettered access to waterways, too much residential and agricultural runoff, super trawlers, bottom trawling and countless kilometres of fishing line laying at the bottom of popular fishing spots which is entangling fish and birds.

There are no simple solutions, but he

“You’re in your own space. All you can really hear is your breathing and the soft crackles of the reef. It’s a bit zen” says you and I can take some basic steps to turn the tide against the damage: fence waterways to give riparian corridors an opportunity to repair themselves, prevent run off from our properties, buy sustainably caught or farmed fish and prawns, and clean up under the waterline as well as above it.

“Probably the most memorable is the horror stuff. Trying to untangle moray eels that have hooks hanging all out of them. I found a cormorant recently in the Noosa River, which I’d watched for an hour before I’d dived, just to suss out where he was feeding and I was waiting for the current to slow down a bit, but I finally jumped in and an hour into the dive I found him dead because a little hook had got stuck in his foot and he’d drowned.

And you just imagine how he drowned,

he’s flapping and thrashing – horrible. So that’s the stuff that actually stays with me, and is a driving force to do something about this.”

He’d like to see a pilot program in Noosa which would see a professional diver teach volunteers how to clean up the river mouth and popular snags. But he won’t be holding his breath.

It has been a long and sometimes dangerous quest by Jensen, who’s had ribs cracked by sharks, ruptured a lung while filming parrot fish and been stung by a stone fish – but he’s in it for the long haul and says the water holds no fear for him.

I’ve got to the point now that in basically any conditions that I think are diveable I can handle myself and my camera, so I don’t have any fear whatsoever of diving per se, and I’m

totally comfortable if my time comes and a shark nails me, I’ll be absolutely thrilled because you’re going to die of something, and I don’t want it to be a car accident or something stupid like falling off a ladder, I would so much rather be part of the food chain when my time comes.

SPLEEN LIST LAUNCHED The state’s first spleen registry will help thousands of people without a spleen stay healthy.

A

A FISHY SCHOOL DAY

A group of senior high school students have ditched the classroom for the ocean in a bid to learn more about one of the Coast’s largest industries.

St Teresa’s Catholic College Year 12 students are the first to participate in the new education initiative by Mooloolaba’s Fish n Crab Charters.

The excursions are open to high school, TAFE and university students who

Sunshine Coast doctor who has helped to establish the state’s first spleen registry says it will help thousands of Queenslanders.

Dr Andrew Langley from the Nambour Public Hospital says the service could be life changing for people who have had a spleen severely damaged or removed.

“We believe there are about 3000 people in Queensland who don’t have a spleen – over their lifetimes you’d expect 150 of them would be at risk of a very serious infection, which can lead to very serious disease or even death,” Dr

Langley says.

“The benefit of people registering is that they’ll get medical information about how to manage without a spleen, including reminders about important vaccinations.”

The spleen is on the left-hand side of the body, tucked up under the ribs, and plays an important role in combating some common bacterial infections.

Queensland Health is partnering with the Victorian-based service, Spleen Australia, to establish the registry in this state. Visit spleen.org.au.

are studying marine biology and fisheries.

Fish n Crab Charters owner Paddy van Driel-Vis says it’s important the Coast’s young generation understands the vital impact the fishing industry has on the local economy.

“We’ve got such a gem here in Mooloolaba,’’ she says.

“Mooloolaba is the second largest tuna port in the southern hemisphere.

Mooloolaba is the largest spanner crab

port and Queensland is the largest spanner crab fishery in the world.’’

Van Driel-Vis says the excursions give students an insight into the social, economic and environmental impacts of commercial fishing.

“The kids did a bit of fishing, got involved in the spanner crabbing process… then headed down to DeBrett Seafood where they were taken on a tour of the processing and packaging plant.”

$11 MILLION DIVORCE

The war may be over between Sunshine Coast and Noosa Councils, but there’s still an occasional disagreement.

A Queensland Audit Office (QAO) report has found the total cost of the divorce at just shy of $11 million: more than $2.1 million for operating costs, $2.1 million for fixed asset costs, and more than $6.6 million for redundancies.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says the report was in line with his council’s projected figures when deamalgamation was proposed.

Noosa Mayor Noel Playford is on the record saying the total figure shouldn’t include the cost of redundancies – but he didn’t respond to questions put by MWP.

O’BRIEN FAVOURITE

The LNP candidate to contest Clive Palmer’s seat of Fairfax will be known next Saturday (May 23) with the five candidates to face the party faithful in Nambour.

The candidates include banker Donald Jamieson, lawyer Chloe Kopilovic, lecturer Adrian McCullum, accountant Mark Somlyay and the early favourite Ted O’Brien, who fell just 53 votes short of Mr Palmer in the 2013 election.

T

It’s the budget that Treasurer Joe Hockey says focuses on growing jobs and small business, but what exactly does that mean for taxpayers?

he 2015 budget was handed down last week and has been met with mixed reactions from politicians, analysts and the general public.

One of the biggest talking points has been the Federal Government’s $3.5 billion Jobs for Families package incorporating a new childcare subsidy that will kick in on July 1, 2017.

Families using childcare in 2017, on a combined income of between $65,000 and $170,000, will be around $30 a week better off while families earning less than $65,000 will receive ongoing access to childcare and be eligible for additional financial support.

However families earning above the $65,000 and with a stay-at-home parent will lose all childcare subsidies. The new proposal will mean both parents must be working or studying at least eight hours a fortnight to qualify for payments.

The Abbott-led government estimates the new measures will encourage more than 240,000 families to increase their involvement in paid employment.

Hockey’s end to “double-dipping’’ for new mothers has been met with backlash, as parents will now be unable to claim both the government’s paid parental leave and employer-funded schemes.

The $1 billion in budget savings – affecting both private sector and government workers – will be put into the new childcare arrangements.

Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief Kate Carnell says it’s hard to

see why employers will continue to pay parental leave if the government stops providing the top-up.

However, Mr Hockey says it is regrettable if employers take that attitude.

“A good employer offers a fair dinkum paid parental leave scheme to their employees and the government’s scheme is meant to be a safety net,’’ Hockey says.

“If they change the scheme to try and scam the government and scam

taxpayers, well, that reflects on them as much as anything else.’’

On the commercial front, small businesses have been given a boost under the $5.5 billion Jobs and Small Business package.

As of July 1, small companies with an annual turnover of less than $2 million will have tax lowered one-and-a-half per cent. A huge 96 per cent of Australian businesses will be eligible for the savings.

Small businesses will also be able to deduct new assets up to $20,000.

Australia’s older population did not go unnoticed in the budget, with the assets threshold for the full pension raised from $202,000 to $250,000 for single home owners and from $286,000 to $375,000 for couples who own a home.

However, those on a part pension with assets over $823,000 will no longer be able to access payment.

THE INTERVIEW

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD Sekisui House senior development manager Evan Aldridge breaks the company’s silence on that Sunshine Coast Council decision not to amend the planning scheme. By Richard O’Leary.

How did you feel when you heard of the council’s decision? We were very disappointed at that outcome, we were wanting to keep working with council to get the right result for the Sunshine Coast. We feel that process was cut short and we weren’t given the due process to continue working, based on some of the issues that council has now raised.

If you had your time again, what changes would you make to the way you approached this proposal? I would have liked our proposal to be out in the public first, before all the misinformation was put out, so people were discussing the real proposal, and the merits of the proposal rather than trying to sift through the myriad of information to try and decide what is fact and fiction.

Do you think you misunderstood what the people of the Sunshine Coast wanted? I think we got some things wrong and we have to take on board the feedback we received. It’s clear we need to try to adopt what’s commonly done on the Sunshine Coast, rather than moving the

bookends out too far to the extreme.

Do you think the proposal just wasn’t the right fit for the site? I think the heights and density were too big of a shift for the local community. There was a clear appetite to establish a five-star hotel and that’s why we started from that basis of height and density. If we’ve got different criteria that we know we can work with, we can try and look at it. The one thing we do know is that the existing criteria does not work.

Do you think you have been treated fairly? In terms of the process I think it would have been better if we had got a much broader section of the community to make sure we could get a result. The process is being hindered by the fact it hasn’t included business, tourism, employment representatives to make sure we could get a balanced result together with community concerns.

How would you rate the council’s performance? We’re disappointed with the outcome and therefore the process.

It was definitely an undertaking of both parties to look at the options of what

could be put on the site and delivered for the Sunshine Coast, and there clearly wasn’t a good enough interaction between both of us to make sure we [Sekisui House] understood all the issues to be addressed.

Can you give me an example?

Jobs creation. In council’s report it said only 145 jobs would be created by our mixed use proposal with a five-star hotel with conference facilities, restaurants, boutique retail, retirement living, aged care with all the health services involved there and then management of the grounds and buildings. Most people would say there is no way 145 people could do all that. We can validate our 623 permanent jobs. We think council got that wrong.

Where to now? We still hold a unique development site; holding a property for that long is quite costly, so we have to assess that and determine on what basis we move forward.

What’s the most likely outcome for that site? Too early to tell. Given that the existing appeal is now going on eight

years, you’ve got to make sure it matches where the market is as well. That approval was pre-GFC; the world’s changed a lot now, we’ve got to make sure it’s a product suited to the market needs and pricing so that it can be successful.

PROFILE

JOE NATOLI STEPS UP TO THE PLATE The former Maroochy Shire mayor is back in business. Words: Leigh Robshaw

J

oe Natoli has been serving the Sunshine Coast for a long time. From 1997 he served as a councillor, then mayor of Maroochy Shire Council, before losing the mayoral election for the new Sunshine Coast Regional Council in 2008. He then fell into a period of depression before getting back into business. His newest venture is one that’s close to his heart, as it takes him back to his family roots and allows him to keep serving the people of the Sunshine Coast, albeit in a vastly different role.

On June 11 he’s launching The Two Bros with his brother Anthony, a new fresh food business at Big Top Market Fresh. As a third-generation greengrocer, Joe says the fresh food trade is in his blood.

“We were practically born into the fresh food industry,” Joe says. “Our grandfather’s first job in Australia after migrating from Italy was in a Sydney fruit and vegetable store and he went on to launch his own shop in Victoria, so our family connection to the trade dates back as far as the 1920s.”

When Joe’s family moved to Caloundra in 1973, they opened a fruit market in

Inset: Joe’s father Frank, Uncle Bert & Uncle Tony Right: Anthony & Joe Bulcock Street and Joe and Anthony went on to run six stores around the Coast.

“Understanding quality food and the level of service you want to provide, it’s in my blood,” says Joe. “My kids are really excited to be able to come and work, too.

“I can still remember when I was eight and we lived behind the business and my role was to get up in the morning and help Dad in the shop. I also looked after the shop on weekends and after school. One summer evening, I managed to sell a crate of peaches when Dad was in the house

having dinner with Mum and I was so excited. I remember the exuberant feeling of making a sale and how proud I was.”

The Two Bros will take the old family fruit and veg shop in a new direction, with a cosmopolitan vibe and a wider range of products available, including Colin James gelato, Italian sweets, paninis, olives and cheeses, fresh seafood and a cafe offering coffee made with Maleny Dairies milk.

Sourcing and promoting local produce is a strong focus: “A lot more people these days are asking where food is coming

Ord Minnett - Sunshine Coast

from. In the past, we may have had pineapples grown in the Glass House region or local strawberries, but we never used to celebrate it like we do today.”

Joe may be out of politics, but he still takes an active interest in our region.

“Infrastructure is a big issue for the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately we’ve been left behind by both sides of politics. We should have a convention centre, an arts centre, an expanded runway for the airport, a Bruce Highway that’s widened, a railway that functions properly from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. We need high speed broadband, especially with businesses working from home. Where has all the money gone?”

Joe says he enjoyed his time in politics and was driven by a desire to make a difference, but with those days behind him, he’s forging ahead and tackling new challenges. “ Going back into the fresh food business, you do take on risks. We want to create an incredible business, something that really sets a benchmark in how to offer fresh foods and how to serve people.

I want people to walk in and go ‘wow’.”

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE NO-MAKEUP LOOK

If you’re after a skincare range that uses only certified organic skincare products, have you checked out Zk’in? The certified organic and dermatologically tested range includes cleansers, moisturisers, serums and more for all different skin types.

Caloundra’s Villa Verde Living Boutique is a stockist. Call 5491 8890 for more.

1. Prep: Ensure your skin is super clean with no trace of yesterday’s makeup.

2. Even out skin tone: Go for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream to moisturise. Feel too naked? Apply a very fine layer of foundation on your nose and cheeks. Try Garnier BB Cream Oil Free, $13.95.

3. Conceal flaws: If you have circles under your eyes or visible breakouts cover up with a concealer. We like Clinique’s Airbrush Concealer, $40.

4. Add a touch of flush: Use a creamy blush or shimmer to highlight and brighten. Try NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush, $9.95.

5. Now for the eyes: Put down the eyeliner and eyeshadow – you just need a lick of mascara for this look.

6. Finally, the lips: All you need is a touch of lip gloss a shade or two darker than your lips to finish.

Lock it in The team at Studio4557 in Mooloolaba has these easy steps to maintain your hair during the winter months.

• During winter, it’s a great idea to treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment, like Pureology Strength Cure Restorative Mask.

• Keep hair washing to a minimum, say two to three times a week, so it won’t dry out too much. Make sure you dry your hair before leaving the house as cold air on wet hair will make it more brittle.

• Regular trims are a great way to keep your hair in good health. Every six to eight weeks have the ends trimmed to help reduce the chance of dry, splitting ends.

• When you have the heating on, the air becomes dry, so invest in a humidifier.

Also, a hair protectant, such as Pureology Colour Fanatic, will shield your hair against environmental damage.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN

Too busy working to work out? Then do these every day to rack up some incidental exercise: • Walk to work. Or park your car 10 minutes away from the office to get a little morning and afternoon exercise.

• Taking a phone call? Jump up from your seat and chat while standing. Contract your abdominals and stand tall.

• Use your breaks to climb the stairs.

• Leave 10 minutes early for a meeting and again park 10 minutes away from your meeting place to squeeze in extra walking time.

WINTER SKIN TIPS Keeping your skin healthy and glowing is tricky in winter. The team at Bliss on Buderim recommend regular facials to increase cell turnover, and improve hydration, tone and texture. Staying hydrated is also important. Coffee drinkers need an extra three glasses of water for each coffee consumed. Also, look at your skincare regime – something simple like changing your cleanser in winter can make a big difference.

The ‘Cash Crash’ for Retirees

Australia might be known kn as the lucky country, but you need to have plenty of mo money to actually retire here and enjoy it!

DON’T MISS THIS!

Financial Review, 29th April, 2015

In the heady days of the 1980’s a $1 million dollar deposit in the bank, would have produced around $140,000 income. For the same amount we have seen the income fall from $60,000 in 2008 to $35,000 now!

That’s a fall of 75 percent!

Self-funded retirees feel the pinch of low interest rates ABC, 5th May, 2015

Low interest rates hurting retirement plans: RBA The Australian, 28th April, 2015

As Glenn Stevens (our Reserve Bank Governor) points out, interest rates are; “Not just the lowest in living memory, but in all likelihood the lowest ever in human history!”

Retirees relying on cash investments are finding they have no alternative but to eat into their precious nest egg.

The question on everyone’s mind is, “How can we fund our Retirement and keep pace with the relentless rise in the cost of living?”

When you do serve a meat or fish dish, avoid the processed, refined breads and pastas and make sure you eat it with a fresh salad and vegetables instead. There’s a good reason for this.

Meat takes a long time to digest, but fresh salad and vegetables contain live enzymes, which speed up the digestive process.

We are all individuals, so the amount of meat you can eat is individual too, but if you follow these guidelines, you will be on your way to better health.

TRAVEL

SNOW WARS

Swap the surfboard for a snowboard and head south.

WORDS: Glenn Cullen

A

s the first snowfalls of substance hit the Australian ski areas another kind of cold snap looks to be breaking out – between the resort operators.

The good news is that consumers look set to be the winners in this frigid fight for

your winter dollar.

The big news before the start of the 2015 season is that US behemoth Vail Resorts has bought out Perisher in the NSW Snowy Mountains. Its implications are many.

First and most readily is an

all-inclusive season pass which, for $749, allows its users unlimited riding at Perisher and the other dozen Vail-owned resorts in North America over 12 months.

It was only five years ago that a standalone season pass cost close to twice that amount; and you didn’t get to ride overseas on the same ticket.

While the Vail group will play wait and see with future resort operations and infrastructure at Perisher, it’s worth noting this is a company that has a market capitalisation of $US3.6 billion ($A4.4 billion), in excess of 15,000 employees and a track record of pumping money into their acquisitions. Perhaps a centralised village will no longer be a Perisher pipe dream after all.

At the launch of the Vail takeover announcement a bullish Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer was adamant that his company had been at the forefront of many of the positive changes in the industry in recent years, starting with the big drop in season pass prices.

“The other Australian resorts copied that,” he said. “They have a history of doing that.”

The two major alpine players in the NSW scene have had their own history.

From the claims and counter claims about snow coverage in the 80s and 90s

(Thredbo is larger top to bottom but Perisher’s higher starting elevation gives it better snow conditions at the base) to horse trading between staff, there has always been a cold war of sorts between the two.

There appeared to be something of a detente in 2011 when a ‘superski’ pass that allowed skiing at both resorts. It has since quietly disappeared.

Then Thredbo last season pinched Winter Olympic queen Torah Bright as the face of their resort from Perisher who had

Thredbo is larger top to bottom but Perisher’s higher starting elevation gives it better snow named their half-pipe after her. Awkward.

On to 2015 and Perisher’s announcement of, the admittedly still officially pending, Vail deal has those in the industry excited.

Thredbo’s response was the Mountain Collective deal – a pass that enables skiers and snowboarders to ride their slopes for up to three days as part of an 18-day pass

Can Hormones Drain Your Energy, Make You Crazy and Halt Weight Loss Regardless of Exercise? that can be used at a loose gathering of international resorts such as Whistler, Aspen and Lake Louise.

The pass is priced at $US379 ($467) It’s a start but hardly a game changer.

When conditions are great – like in early July 2014 – it’s very hard to top Thredbo when it comes to a snow trip in Australia. The pretty-as-a-picture village, the North American-style cut runs and the long vertical make it a winning package when under fresh snow.

But even the beauty queen or handsome jock starts showing their age eventually. It has been around two decades since the last major infrastructure developments at Thredbo – the Cruiser Chair/Merritts area expansion and the alpine centre. Much money spent during this time has gone on snowmaking.

While the overall look of Perisher hasn’t changed much during that time, the resort can lay claim to putting in two new chairlifts over the past 12 years.

Sure, the Vail Resorts move may be calculated to get Australians also spending their winter dollars overseas, but if at the end of the snow day you’re actually getting a better deal that can only be a good thing.

And if it encourages more competition and improved facilities and prices at the other resorts, better still.

Mood swings so strong, you just want to scream, or crawl into bed and sleep till it’ s over. Anxiety over nothing, irritable over everything, and crying over anything! I’m not just talking about menopause and PMS; to all of you men, MANopause can and will happen, so listen up! Ar e you irritable, nervous, depressed, low libido, foggy thinking, can’t sleep, or gaining weight? Is anything sounding familiar?

Hormonal imbalances don’t just happen without cause. Why can some people eat anything and maintain their weight, yet you gain 3kg over night from just thinking about breaking your diet!

It’s not all about weight, but some of it is, these symptoms ar e just the tip of the iceberg for what hormones can do to your body when out of balance long term, accelerated aging, permanent metabolism malfunction, leading to diabetes and heart disease, decline in brain function, including loss of short term memory, and loss of important older memories permanently.

There are 7 triggers that af fect hormones including diet, food r eactions, toxicity, def ciencies, infections, stress, and f tness. Most people only deal with one of these at a time. You could see a specialist in only one ar ea, though if you don’ t address all of them, you’r e caught in a cycle that goes on for life. The frustrating part is once these triggers upset your hor mones, your hormones cause these triggers again! How do you stop it? Actually , it’s pretty easy to stop, as long as you deal with them all at the same time and thor oughly. I have seen hormone creams to balance hormones, the pill, HRT, and bio-identical hormones. These might help your current symptoms, though they won’ t f x the cause, and they won’ t f x the permanent effects, so the cycle continues and you become r eliant on them. Fortunately, it can be tr eated properly, and most symptoms are improved within weeks, and completely relieved within just a few months.

Hormones are one part of a 7 step process for permanently treating mood issues. These steps have been proven with testing to improve brain and total body function, without medication.

If you’d like to know more, call for a FREE ½ hour consultation with one of our naturopaths, where you’ll learn about everything that causes hormonal and mood problems, and what to do about it.

The need for a green thumb will no longer be a requirement for keeping plants alive if this new invention from Nthing takes off.

Planty is an internet-connected smart pot that gathers information on your plant’s behalf.

If the plant’s temperature is too high, then Planty will send a notification advising you to move it to another location.

What’s more, if the plant is in need of water, Planty can take care of that itself thanks to a built-in water reservoir.

Produced by American Public Media, this one-hour humorous podcast will have you smiling and you may even learn something along the way.

Centred on food, culture and conversation with celebrities, The Dinner Party Download is a great weekly offering.

It is hosted by producers and writers Rico Gagliano and Brendan Francis Newman and listeners will learn the odd bit of history and hear about emerging food trends.

Celebrities of note to have appeared on the show include Scarlett Johannson, Pharrell Williams and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

BUDGET RECAP Darryl Watt is from Ord Minnett in Buderim.

W

hen Treasurer Joe Hockey recently released the 2015 Federal Budget he stated it was designed to promote jobs, growth and opportunity.

It is important to remember that these are only proposed changes.

Here are important issues affecting the community: A big change was announced in relation to pensions paid

by Centrelink and the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).

It’s a case of ‘back to the future’, with the asset test reduction taper rate reverting to the 2007 amount of $3 per fortnight for every $1,000 above the lower asset test limit.

There has been a generous increase in this lower asset limit that can be held before the pension is reduced under the asset test.

For example, a pensioner couple who own their own home will be able to have assets of $375,000 before their pension will be reduced under the asset test.

This is a substantial increase over the previous limit of $286,500 and, as a result, some people may actually receive a higher pension, assuming this measure is passed.

However, the new reduction rate of $3 per $1,000 has reduced the level of assets that people can own before the pension is stopped altogether.

Previously, a couple who owned their own home could have $1,151,000 of other assets and still get a part pension.

This upper limit will now been reduced to $823,000.

Two previously announced changes to pensions will no longer be proceeding.

Pension increases will not be linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the deeming thresholds will remain unchanged.

Essentially, there has been no change to personal income tax rates. From July 1, 2015 however, it is proposed to exclude ‘fly-in fly-out’ and ‘drive-in drive-out’ workers from the Zone Tax Offset in cases where their normal residence is not within the zone.

This will result in those workers having to pay more tax.

Two areas that were the subject of much speculation before the budget have been left unchanged – there has been no change to the treatment of franking credits associated with share dividends, or to the taxation of superannuation funds.

MY OPINION

EXPENDABLE ICON

GOOD GAME

How did Sylvester Stallone go from Rocky to Rambo to international artist, asks Sami Muirhead?

I

was dealing with the early start of a chaotic morning with three kids under four years of age as most of us do: having a cup of coffee and trawling the gossip sites.

Yep, I have a very intellectual start to my day. There was the usual gossip, most of it around Kim Kardashian’s naked bottom breaking the internet or reposting selfies of her inflated ego and bosom.

But one entertainment story screamed with the headline: ‘Sylvester Stallone retrospective of his artwork in France’. What the hell?

Old Rambo is now an international artist and displaying his works in the city of love, to boot? It was too much for my mind to cope with.

Look Rambo, I think you need to stick with making movies where you are a soldier who needs a wind machine to blow your hair in order to rescue the damsel in distress.

I am not a fan of those boxing movies where you seemed to spend a lot of time running up and down stairs in order to get fit.

You see I am in the minority of people who think the entire swag of Rocky movies needed subtitles in order to understand what the heck Sly was actually saying as he gave numerous Chinese burns to Apollo Creed and the other baddies who had the misfortune of trying to interpret Mr Balboa.

Do not get me started on The Expendables. My husband will divorce me when he reads this because this

chain of corny movies happens to be one of his favourite ways to waste some time on a weekend. And it seems the world agrees. Any Expendables film is guaranteed gold at the box office.

Pretty clever of old Sly really to get his mates Arnie, The Muscles From Brussels, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, and Jason Statham in one room so they can all compare plastic surgery and hair replacement techniques.

Oh, and in the meantime they save the world. Queue the wind machines again. The plots are always so bad. The acting so wooden. And the world loves it!

But there is one thing I find very interesting about Mr Stallone – the 68 year-old has five kids with names that are so fabulous they rival that try-hard Kardashian clan.

There was Sage who very sadly died only a few years back. Seargeoh is next.

Then Sistine. And to round out the pack of ’S’ Sly clones, there is Scarlet Rose and Sophia Rose.

My husband asked me in all seriousness if Sly has a kid called Rocky.

I had to deliver the bad news that ‘Rocky’ is a fictional character. There was such a look of heartbreak that I then gave my husband some good news: Expendables 4 is coming out next year. Good grief!

Nathan ‘Nugget’ Dell gives us five good reasons to love State of Origin.

I

can take or leave Christmas.

Frankly, it is an annual event that has about as much interest for me as a Laurie Oakes swimsuit calendar. However, when May rolls around, I get that special tingling in the front of the slacks for an event even more important than December 25. It is of course… State of Origin. I love this sumptuous three-course meal like the chubby bloke from Masterchef loves cravats, here’s why.

1. IT’S FERAL – This is as close as our big brown land will come to civil war. Normally mild mannered men are turned into slobbering maniacs, clad in maroon and blue, common sense goes out the window and all expected societal norms are abandoned. So basically a weekend at Wayne Carey’s house.

2. IT TEARS FAMILIES APART – As the only Queenslander growing up in a house full of filthy blues, I saw firsthand the divide the Origin series can bring. Let’s just say for that six-week period, my parents’ and older sisters’ interest in my welfare, hygiene, nutrition and overall health was not at its optimum. However, I was told that this could all end if I just bent the knee and pledged my undying loyalty to Phil Gould in a medieval ceremony that made Game of Thrones look like an

episode of Sesame Street. I flatly refused and I wear the frostbitten toes as a badge of Maroon honour.

3. IT MAKES HEROES – Origin has this wonderful knack of taking players who have been underrated toilers at their clubs and turning them into superheroes. The likes of Adam Mogg, Shaun Timmins, Mark Coyne and Benny Elias’ mum have all etched themselves a place in Origin folklore and we loved every minute of it.

4. IT MAKES VILLAINS – For every one of those redblooded stars listed previously, this contest has produced ten black hat wearing bad guys.

Whether it’s Mark Geyer bashing Steve Walters, Wally Lewis and referee David Manson in 1991 or Gorden Tallis flinging man child Brett Hodgson over the fence in 2002, Origin loves its bad guys.

5. IT REVEALS PRETENDERS – At club level, Sydney Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce has had more success than Orlando Bloom at a Victoria’s Secret Christmas Party, but when he has donned the sky blue, he has been a quivering disappointment that I refuse to believe came from Wayne Pearce’s gold plated loins. Bring on game one.

“Origin has this knack of taking players who have been underrated toilers at their clubs and turning them into superheroes”

TODD’S GROG

This week, Todd pays the price for another weekend of overindulgence. drink when I sat on one of the port-a-loo toilets and tried to put my seatbelt on.

In the aftermath of such culinary extravagance, I’ve found myself wishing someone would just hug me and say, “I know you’re struggling but it’s going to be OK, here’s a coffee, some Quick-Eze and five million dollars.”

According to my wife, the car ride home was laborious, with me saying every five minutes that she should pull over for some “Toddy magic”.

No really, you can imagine what sort of classy state I was in, sure it was one in the morning, but we would’ve been back on the road by five past! Lucky for Michelle, I was fast asleep by the time we got to the Peregian roundabout. What a mess.

Is it time to detox and say no to God’s gifts of beer and cheese? A good buddy of mine gave up grog, fatty foods, cheese and sex all at once. He seemed to be doing really well, right up until he killed himself.

And so with all that aside, it’s nearly the end of the week and so ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s forecast… 95 per cent chance of beer.

W

e begin with an excerpt from the big book: “And the Lord said unto John, come forth and you shall receive eternal life.” But sadly, John came fifth and won a meat tray.

I’ve found myself feeling deeply religious this week, begging the big fella to help me get through this post Noosa Food and Wine Festival minefield. As my buddy Sami says, that Noosa event is “schoolies for foodies”, with everyone going off like a bucket of hot prawns in the Queensland sun. Seriously, I overindulged that much, I cut myself shaving two days ago and bled organic Maleny blue goats cheese.

If nothing else, the old Noosa fatty fest has taught me that food is indeed a trifffic garnish for beer and wine.

No really, I was all over it like Cam Smith’s footy boots on Isaac Luke’s face. At one stage I knew I’d had far too much to

With the cooler weather settling in, this week’s beer is a cracker. White Rabbit Dark Ale Is the perfect brew for cold winter nights with its rich, dark and flavoursome vibe. It’s unusually refreshing for a dark ale and that’s why it’s tops. With an open fermentation style of brewing, the Dark Ale’s raisin-like esters are allowed to play amongst a genuinely malty bill while delivering a solid amount of reassuring bitterness.

As the Bastard Jon Snow would tell you from Game Of Thrones, “Winta is coomin”, so stock up my friends.

I give White Rabbit Dark Ale 4 out of 5 thumbs up.

WHITE RABBIT DARK ALE Available from Cellarbrations Brightwater Marketplace, Parklands Marketplace, Wises Road, Buderim and Bellvista Tavern, Bellvista You can hear Todd Widdicome on Mix FM.

COMFORT FOOD

Winter may not be here yet, but the recent chill in the air makes it the perfect weather for warm, comfort food.

Mooloolaba Surf Club head chef Peter Brown has the perfect meal of the month for May – lamb curry served with green beans, sweet potato, jasmine rice and coriander.

It comes with a glass of sauvignon blanc or shiraz and costs $26.50.

The Boathouse Restaurant overlooking Mooloolaba Beach is open from 7am for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

RETIREMENT PROMOTION

RESTYLED RETIREMENT VILLAGES Downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading your sense of style, with Lend Lease’s new display homes boasting a fresh new look.

B

uyers looking to downsize and enjoy the safety and community of a retirement village can experience the latest interior design trends at Lend Lease’s new display homes, now in villages across Queensland.

Many of the 15 Lend Lease owned or managed villages in Townsville, Bundaberg, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast have opened up newly-refurbished homes to the public, making it easy for prospective buyers to see the size and quality of the homes, and the latest decorating trends.

Regional Manager of Lend Lease’s Retirement Living business in

Queensland, Greg Little said, “We understand our new residents are looking for a well-designed space, along with a great fit-out to suit their lifestyle, hobbies and other needs.”

“Experienced Queensland designers have helped us to maximise the space, creating a light, airy and modern feel, neutral enough to display individual treasures, and fill with memories and new experiences too,” he said.

Lend Lease’s new display homes are a collaboration with Sunshine Coast based property styling and interior design company Blink Living, which has a team of qualified interior designers with more

STRONG DEMAND PROMPTS NEW RELEASE Combining creature comforts with a stunning natural setting elevates Nature’s Edge Over 50s village into a class of its own.

N

ature’s Edge Sales Manager Lyn Morrison said The Boulevard release comprises 13 elevated, north facing lots with uninterrupted

rainforest views and within easy walking distance to the project’s planned $2 million leisure centre.

“We’ve been absolutely thrilled with

than 30 years’ experience.

Blink Living Interior Designer, Dianne Conley said the recent boom in retirement developments has seen interior design take on another dimension.

“Our approach is all about creating an inviting, inspirational yet practical space incorporating the latest trends in homewares and accessories to make the decision an exciting next step for any new

resident moving into a village.”

Units available in Queensland villages range from $110,000 for a one-bedroom, $150,000 for a two-bedroom and $265,000 for a three-bedroom with a car space.

Visit retirementbylendlease.com.au.

Anyone interested in viewing the new display units is encouraged to call 1800 550 500, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

the response to the stage one release, we’ve had buyers from all over the Sunshine Coast as well as Brisbane purchase their new home and lifestyle at Nature’s Edge,” she says.

“The vast majority of buyers are very active and are looking forward to embracing a maintenance free lifestyle and enjoying our leisure facility which will include a bowling green, tennis court, pool, spa, gym, massage area and media room. We will also have caravan and boat storage.”

“The feedback from purchasers is that they love the Nature’s Edge concept, particularly the fact that there is no stamp duty payable and no exit fees so they keep all the capital gains when they sell and we ensure there are no rentals so there will be a community of people living here who own their own home and take pride in how it is kept in order to protect their investment.

“We’ve done our research and there really is nothing else quite like it on the

Sunshine Coast.

“Two display homes are open for inspection and construction of the remainder of the release is expected to be completed in September this year.”

Nature’s Edge has a choice of five home designs, which are all environmentally sustainable with eight-star energy ratings including solar panels on each home. The most popular designs features two bedrooms plus a multipurpose room, two bathrooms and a DLUG, and are priced from just $429,000 and average $464,000.

Construction of the 13 homes within The Boulevard release is due to commence in late May with completion expected towards the end of the year.

To arrange an inspection of the display homes and to find out more about Nature’s Edge Over 50s lifestyle community, call Lyn Morrison at the Nature’s Edge sales office on 1800 218 898 or visit naturesedgebuderim.com.au.

But something has changed with this new Liberty sedan. No, they haven’t lost the safe, reliable foundation. But they have added an element of surprise and delight.

The all-new Liberty is the sixth generation to wear the iconic badge.

That name exists only in Australia - it’s called a Legacy in most other world markets but Subaru changed the name Down Under out of respect for our war veterans’ charity.

There’s no question this is the most stylish, the most luxurious and the most technically advanced Liberty we’ve ever seen. By quite some margin, I’d wager.

Yet through some kind of smoke and

mirrors, Subaru has managed to deliver it at a price up to 25 per cent lower than the previous model. Happy anniversary, Liberty buyers.

Having lived in the mid-sized sedan segment for its whole model life, the Liberty is now being called a grand touring car by its Japanese makers.

That probably reflects that this car seems slightly larger, more comfortable and better equipped than ever before.

It’s also more economical. Subaru says fuel consumption is down by eight percent - thanks to a series of efficiency and aerodynamic improvements.

These include an Active Grille Shutter

that closes the front spoiler to reduce drag at highway speeds, plus the introduction of an automatic enginestop function that saves fuel while idling in heavy traffic.

Oh, it’s safer too - its five-star ANCAP rating is the highest ever earned by a Subaru.

Where the Liberty’s styling has always tended to the conservative side, particularly in recent iterations, the new model is swoopy, sexy and very easy on the eye.

Inside, the transformation is almost as dramatic - a plush, high-tech interior with all manner of electronic gadgets, comfort features and luxury items.

f the Subaru Liberty was a person, it would be more than old enough to drink, vote and fight in a war.

In fact, it would probably be starting to think about responsible things like kids, houses and careers.

Yet as it celebrates its 25th birthday, the Liberty seems to have been reborn.

For a car that has built its brand around qualities like trust, consistency and dependability, that’s not a bad effort.

Subaru has earned its fearsome reputation - and equally fierce customer loyalty - through its year-in, year-out ability to produce cars that rarely surprise, but never disappoint their loyal band of followers.

MOTORING

A new touch-screen infotainment system includes speech recognition for most commonly-used functions.

Yet the Liberty still arrives with a price-tag that dips below the $30k mark for entry-level models. Subaru says the price drop is largely due to free-trade advances between Australia and Japan.

We tested the mid-spec 2.5i Premium model (at $35,490 - $4,000 less than the previous model).

It uses the brand’s now-familiar four-cylinder Boxer engine - albeit in improved form - coupled to an alsoimproved version of the Lineartronic CVT transmission used by Subaru for a few years now.

The result is impressive smoothness and quietness from the powerplant - delivered seamlessly by the smoothshifting transmission through Subaru’s signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system.

That means tenacious handling, although the Liberty’s ride is a bit softer and less tied-down than previous models.

Performance is more than adequate if not inspiring - but the Liberty is a pleasingly effortless car to drive - always just enough power on tap, without any hint of the engine stretching or straining

“The new model is swoopy, sexy and very easy on the eye”

when some extra effort is required.

There’s also the option of the 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine variant - adding about $6500 to the price and an extra 70 kilowatts and 100 Nm to the outputs.

This flagship 3.6R model will, for the first time, also use the Lineartonic gearbox.

The Premium trim level of our test machine meant we enjoyed leather

seats, electrically adjusted and heated, sunroof, satellite navigation and other driving aids including lane departure and blind-spot warning systems.

Subaru’s so-called EyeSight system is another notable feature.

Using two forward-facing cameras placed either side of the rear-view mirror, EyeSight scans the road ahead for obstructions (in which case it triggers an emergency braking device) or for other vehicles (allowing the dynamic cruise control function to keep a safe distance to the car in front).

It’s an excellent system that matches the very best examples of this increasingly common technology. It’s a treat to have it on a car so accessibly priced.

Perhaps my favourite feature of EyeSight is when you’re stopped in heavy traffic and become distracted.

The system gives you a little warning when the car in front has moved on - avoiding those embarrassing toots on the horn from impatient drivers behind you.

It’s nice to know that even in its adulthood, the Liberty hasn’t lost its manners.

SUBARU LIBERTY 2.5I PREMIUM HOW BIG? It sits in the mid-size category against rivals like the Toyota Camry and Mazda 6 - but it looks substantial on the outside and very roomy on the inside.

HOW FAST? We tested the four-cylinder model which has reasonable performance from its 129kW engine - but if you want more power you might opt for the 3.6R model with 190kW and 350Nm. HOW THIRSTY? The 2.5i model uses 7.3L/100km.

HOW SAFE? The Liberty achieved an almost perfect score in crash tests 35.9 out of a possible 37 points - and a five-star safety rating.

HOW MUCH? It now starts below $30k for the entry-level, four-cylinder model.

Our Premium-equipped test model costs $35,490.

CRASHES CUT

STORM FRONT

Holden has brought back its big award-winner from 2014 - and it’s confident it’ll take the market by storm

I

f it’s the quintessential Australian car you are after then look no further than Holden’s latest offering.

The motoring group has reintroduced the VF Commodore Storm Special Edition on all 2015 SV6 and SS sedan, ute and Sportwagon body styles.

The popular VF Storm is based on Australia’s Best Car category winner 2014 VF Commodore SV6, in addition to the sporty SS model.

Both cars already boast a range of features including auto park assist, rear view camera with reverse traffic alert, and MyLink infotainment system with an eight inch colour touch screen display.

The VF Storm Special Edition adds satellite navigation, front fog lamps and unique alloy wheels.

Holden’s sales executive director Peter Keley says the 2015 Storm will be

popular.

“The VF Commodore Storm Special Edition struck a chord with customers in 2014 and we are sure that it will do the same in 2015,’’ Keley says.

“Storm offers an impressive amount of additional content, headed by satellite navigation and dark finish alloy wheels, providing our customers with a compelling package and outstanding value.”

A new study has revealed the use of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) in vehicles reduces rear-end crashes by 38 per cent.

The data has been released by leading vehicle safety advocate ANCAP which jointly commissioned the project with the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and ANCAP’s sister organisation, Euro NCAP. AEB is one of the more promising safety assist technologies that is available on new cars.

ANCAP chief executive Nicholas Clarke says research is now demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology.

“An expert group of representatives was established across governments, industry, consumer and insurance organisations to determine the effectiveness of AEB in reducing realworld crashes,’’ Clarke says.

“These findings strongly support ANCAP’s push to have manufacturers fit AEB as standard across all new cars.”

Data from five European countries and Australia was used with the findings showing a 38 per cent overall reduction in real-world, rear-end crashes for vehicles fitted with low-speed AEB.

BUDGET BOTTOM LINE

Not all property buyers will love the budget, and there has been a mixed response from the industry, but property investors have reason to thank Joe Hockey.

T

he Federal Government’s latest budget was handed down last week, and while it contains no change in policies that directly affect property owners, there are a number of measures that will impact on the property market and real estate industry.

Property investors can rest easy that there have been no changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax and depreciation. However, first-home buyers will be disappointed to see that there are no new inducements for them in the budget.

Both the Real Estate Institute of Australia and Real Estate Institute of Queensland were pleased with the budget. The REIQ pointed to the depreciations measures for small business, which means those with an annual turnover of less than $2 million will benefit with a lower tax rate, dropping from 30 per cent to 28.5 per cent. In a bid to encourage investment, the budget has allowed all items purchased for the small business, up to $20,000, to be immediately 100 per cent tax deductible.

“Many real estate agencies are small businesses and they will benefit directly from this budget measure,” REIQ CEO

42 My Weekly Preview | May 22, 2015

42.indd 1

Antonia Mercorella says. The Queensland residential real estate profession employs 50,000 and contributes $8 billion to the economy.

REIA CEO Amanda Lynch adds the budget is not only a win for small business but retains key tax arrangements that benefit housing investment. “The Government is to be commended for ensuring stability within the sector in continuing the current tax arrangements as they relate to both capital gains tax and negative gearing,” Lynch says. “With other sectors of the economy slowing, housing will play an increasingly important role and it is pleasing to see the government has not tampered with tax arrangements that have been proven to help stimulate housing investment in Australia.

“We strongly welcome the small business package that will give business owners meaningful incentives to hire, invest in equipment and importantly grow their livelihood. The government is also to be commended for listening to the industry on the issue of foreign investment and we welcome the commitment of $67.2 million over four years to improve compliance and strengthen enforcement.”

However, the Urban Development Institute of Australia has criticised the budget for being “light on the structural reforms necessary to drive Australia’s future economic growth”.

UDIA national vice president Michael Corcoran says investment in new housing and productivity enhancing infrastructure in our major cities will be central to Australia’s future prosperity. “The unwinding of the mining boom is placing a heavy toll on

government finances and the broader economy, and that’s clearly reflected in the 2015-16 budget,” he says.

“Development and new housing construction is currently doing much of the heavy lifting in the Australian economy, and with most of Australia’s capital cities still suffering from a chronic housing shortage, it’s an area that still has plenty of room to grow.

“Unfortunately barriers such as inadequate investment in urban infrastructure, red tape, and high and inefficient taxes and charges on new housing are still holding back new housing construction, and contributing to worsening housing affordability.”

The Housing Industry Association

HERE’S HOW THE BUDGET ADDRESSED THE REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA’S PREBUDGET SUBMISSIONS: • The REIA lobbied for conveyance stamp duties to be abolished and replaced by an eff cient source of revenue for states and territories. But the budget did not include this proposal.

• To encourage investment in property, negative gearing must be retained in its current form, said the REIA. There is good news for investors and the real estate industry as there are no changes to negative gearing.

• The REIA asked that capital gains tax on property investments not be increased. In a in a win for the real estate sector, this submission was also included.

• The institute also called on the Federal Government to take a leadership role in introducing a uniformed approach to the provision of assistance to f rst home buyers for both new and established properties. But the budget did not address this issue.

Antonia Mercorella

“The Government is to be commended for ensuring stability on capital gains tax and negative gearing” was less critical, pointing to the budget’s measures for assisting small business as a positive step. The $5.5 billion ‘growing jobs and small business package’ provides support to many small businesses in the residential construction industry, the HIA said in a statement.

“This will provide a significant benefit to the many small business operators working in the residential building industry and HIA welcomes injection into the engine room of Australia’s economy - the small business sector.”

• The REIQ also called on the government to establish a scheme to encourage young Australians to have access to their superannuation to help raise a deposit for a f rst home. But this was not included in the budget.

• The government was asked to establish a mechanism to ensure the availability of reliable data on housing demand and supply to assist in formulating effective policies. But this proposal wasn’t taken up.

• Finally, the government was asked to better use private investment to improve the supply of housing for social housing tenants transitioning to private rental. But this was not included.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Imagine surf ng in poo? Word is coming back that the Rio pro surf was littered with faeces with a few surfers getting sick as a result. The wave itself looked like a lottery, with some big names not getting through to the f nals because of no waves, and the ones that were on offer were pretty much closing out…BORING. How does Kelly Slater score 19.5 out of 20 then only 6 in his next round? Bad call WSL, but money talks.

They move on to Fiji now where nothing but beautiful clean water and big barrels await.

Now this weekend seems ho-hum with rainy conditions predicted and a SE wind. If you are heading to North Sumatra it is looking the goods.

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Bream are moving in over Maroochy Bar on the night high tides with fowl gut, mullet f esh and prawns the best baits. Tailor are taking baby blue pilchards on small ganged hooks, in the deeper water from the Cod Hole to the motorway bridge. Flathead can be taken on the drift past Channel and Goat Islands.

SURF: You can f nd sea bream and dart in the holes and gutters from Twin Waters to Marcoola using pippies and worms. Tailor and jew are chasing bait at Pincushion with pillies and mullet f llet producing the better quality .

OFFSHORE: When conditions allow, the close in reefs of The Gneering’s and Murphy’s are working well for squire with f sh f esh baits producing the better quality. There are good reports of cobia around The Blinker. The Barwon Banks is the place for snapper, pearl perch and amberjack with pillies and slimy mackerel the best baits.

FRESHWATER: Lake Baroon is producing bass on deep divers and spangled perch on f oated earthworms. Borumba looks a picture as usual this week with catches of golden perch, bass, jew and saratoga providing plenty of sport for anglers.

CANCER [Jun 22-Jul 23] You’re an intuitive crab so you like to think you know what’s going on, but this week you haven’t got a clue!

There’s a lot happening that you don’t know about – which is probably just as well. Venus is visiting your sign so express yourself creatively.

LEO [Jul 24-Aug 23] When it comes to a group or organisation, things are about to get complicated, as retrograde Mercury regurgitates old issues.

Neptune is meandering through your intimacy zone so the best aphrodisiac is buckets of romance.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] Work worries take centre stage this week as retrograde Mercury confuses communication, stymies a job interview, complicates a project, or puts you in a position where you have to make a choice between a professional commitment and a relationship responsibility.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] You’re in the mood for flirting, romantic candlelit dinners, joint ventures or spiritual pursuits.

But if you avoid facing important issues then disruption and confusion are likely. It’s time to face the fact that a major relationship has to move in a radical new direction.

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, or let rattled nerves stop you from doing something you’ve always wanted to do.

You’re feeling stressed and somewhat intense but try not to sweat the small stuff. Attached Scorpios – look to the future and set goals together.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] You’re keen to communicate about a wide range of topics but are others in the mood to listen? Plus, with Mercury retrograding through your relationship zone, it will be very easy to misinterpret what others are saying. So choose your conversation pals carefully.

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] Are you thinking of topping up your timetable? With Mercury reversing through your daily routine zone (until June 12) expect usual tasks to take a lot longer than normal. So avoid adding extra commitments to an already over-stretched schedule.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] Does a romantic relationship seem to be going backwards?

Rejuvenate it by introducing some new activities into the mix. If you are single, you may revisit a rocky old romance (wearing rose-coloured glasses).

Just remember the past is seductive because it’s selective.

PISCES [Feb 20-Mar 20] This week’s Neptunian aspects set you up for indulging in some major Piscean procrastination.

But is that really such a good idea? Strive to be creative and determined. You can expect some setbacks, but don’t use it as an excuse to give up and go home.

GEMINI [May 22-Jun 21] Expect chaos this week as impulsive Mars increases your impatience, plus retrograde Mercury and Neptune scramble your communication. If you blurt out the first thing in your head, then you’ll spend time repairing relationships after your indiscretions.

TAURUS [Apr 21-May 21] Money matters look mighty confusing at the moment.

If you’re a business-minded bull who would like to avoid a financial fiasco then this week is the time to double-check all the fine print; avoid signing major contracts, plus steer clear of your favourite shopping haunts.

ARIES [Mar 21-Apr 20] Mercury is reversing through your talking zone – where it hooks up with Mars on Wednesday and squares Neptune on Friday. There is the potential to get yourself in a communication quagmire. If you rush then you’ll miss details – and mix-up communication.

THE L AST W ORD

MODERN DILEMMAS

I

What does your choice of superpower say about you, asks Richard O’Leary?

came across a great conversation starter the other day while listening to a podcast on This American Life – what would you choose, the ability to fly or invisibility?

If you are like most people you would have just answered that question in your head straight away. Your gut instinct would have automatically gone for one or the other. But interestingly many people after ‘going with the gut’ initially, often change their mind once they think it through.

Which is not that common is it?

How often do we actually change our mind? We may listen to other people’s arguments, we may even nod on occasion, but can you remember the last time you really changed your opinion on a major issue, belief or attitude?

It reminds me of that Albert Einstein quote: “Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.”

But I digress.

First the ground rules. You can fly up to two kilometres above the earth’s surface and at speeds just below what will cause you to black out – about 10Gs. Or you can turn totally invisible, including your clothes, but the power doesn’t include things that you touch such as cups, keys or a massive suitcase of cash.

So let’s look at the pros and cons.

Being able to fly means you can go wherever you want wherever you want and save the occasional person in distress. The only negative I can see is the potential of being hit by other things in the sky: bugs, birds and planes.

You can still get free transport if you’re invisible, but you just have to be a bit sneaky about it – and that’s the problem, just about any advantage of being invisible revolves around that word: sneaky.

Eavesdropping on conversations about yourself (God forbid), ‘borrowing’ money from the bank, or taking advantage of situations involving nudity.

Some people think the flight or invincibility question is really about identifying if you are an extrovert (flight) or an introvert (invisibility) – maybe we should we add pervert to that list?

Do you want a superpower that has the potential to bring out the best in you like flight? Or would you prefer to don the cloak of invisibility and risk sinking into the depths of your dark side? It was summed up best on the podcast by author John Hodgman: “At the heart of this decision, the question is this: Who do you want to be, the person you hope to be, or the person you fear you actually are?”

Now that is sure to get the conversation started. roleary@myweeklypreview.com.au.
