Sunshine nshine Coast Council is calling on residents to nominate neighbours who have shown outstanding acts of kindness during the COVID-19 pandemic – be it mowing a neighbour’s lawn, bringing in their rubbish bin or being an unsung hero. Simply take a picture and share (in 50 words or less) the inspiring stories for the chance to win a $1500 four-person evacuation kit (including sleeping bags, torches and air mattresses), and a street party when it’s safe to do so.

From the editor It has been 54 days since Prime Minister Scott Morrison addressed the nation with a history-defining speech. On the eve of March 22, amid growing concerns over the novel coronavirus pandemic, Mr Morrison introduced strict restriction measures. We were told to expect these rules to be in place for at least six months.

Now, as a result of the significant flattening of cases and the government’s subsequent confidence, Queensland is embarking on a new chapter – our new normal, post-COVID-19.

As of tomorrow, an ease in restrictions will bring families to playgrounds, fitness fanatics to outdoor gyms and allow real estate agents to once again host open

homes, all with limited numbers of course.

In what some view as a hasty move, and others view as a long-time coming, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is among the first of the country’s leaders to test the waters.

Will residents follow the rules?

Will social-distancing recommendations be forgotten? Will our state set the standard for success? Only time will tell.

You can read more about the measures on page 18 of today’s magazine.

Until next week, take care.

American demonstrators display flags and placards during a California protest to lift restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 outbreak

T

attoo parlours and hair salons in Denmark. Bookstores in Germany.

And Australia’s new three-stage plan. Countries around the world that have seen coronavirus infections flatten out have begun easing their lockdowns. In the US, meanwhile, the debate has taken on an increasingly political edge.

In recent days, President Donald Trump openly encouraged protesters who have been demanding the lifting of the state-imposed stay-at-home orders, and some states have taken steps to relax some restrictions.

Around the globe, the plan is to open up but maintain enough social distancing to prevent new flare-ups of the virus that has infected close to 3.5 million people worldwide, killed more than 270,000 (at the time of printing) and crippled the world economy.

The easing of the lockdowns “is not the end of the epidemic in any country. It’s just the beginning of the next phase,” the head of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says.

He sternly warned governments not to rush to return to normal, saying, “It is critical

AGENDA that these measures are a phased process.”

The death toll in the US – the worst-hit country by far – was around 77,000 as of last Friday, with more than 1.3 million confirmed infections. The true figures are believed to be much higher, in part because of difficulties in counting the dead.

While Trump and members of his administration say parts of the nation are ready to begin a gradual return to normalcy, many governors say they lack the testing supplies they need and warn that if they reopen their economies too soon, they could be hit by a second wave of infections.

Egged on by the president, protesters have taken to the streets, complaining that the shutdowns are destroying their livelihoods and trampling their rights. Defying the social-distancing rules, demonstrators have berated their governors and demanded the firing of Dr Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious-disease expert.

Fauci has warned: “Unless we get the virus under control, the real recovery economically is not going to happen. If you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you’re going to set yourself back.”

Elsewhere around the world, Isabel Pennekamp, shopping in the German city of Cologne, was grateful that parts of the country reopened small stores.

“Well, I think it’s good, because now people can get out a bit more and normality is a bit more possible again,” she says.

German Health Minister Jens Spahn says the gradual easing “is a step-by-step process where, after time, we will evaluate what consequences it has had for the infection”.

Cars will again begin rolling off some production lines in Germany, Sweden and Slovakia. Hair salons, physiotherapists, dentists and even tattoo parlours were allowed to reopen in Denmark but it was not business as usual. Christel Lerche sprayed customers’ chairs with alcohol at her salon in

At home we now wait with bated breath to see if Federal and State governments’ staged easing of restrictions results in a spike of cases across the country. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has railed against the herd immunity strategy being pursued by some nations. He says Britain, the US and Sweden are nowhere near reaching their immunity targets. “That’s a death sentence,” he says.

But not every government is ready to take its foot off the brake just yet. In Italy, the government is taking a slow approach. Parks, factories and construction sites reopened last week, while shops will remain closed until May 18. Restaurants, bars and hairdressers are earmarked to stay closed until June 1, while students will remain at home until September.

57. Get competitive – Brush off the cobwebs and turn on the Nintendo Wii for hours of family fun. Start an inhouse tournament to see who is the best at each game. Or team up to take the win.

51. Connect – Pick up the phone or open up the laptop and video call with a loved one. Whether you’re using Skype, FaceTime or something else, think of a loved one you haven’t seen in a while and just give them a call.

52. Freezer cleanse – Pull everything out of the freezer and remove anything that’s been there for longer than six months. If there’s an excess of ice built up inside, it can also be good to defrost the freezer entirely.

Remember, the only bad workout is one that didn’t happen!

59. Say thanks – Say thank you to those essential workers working longer hours. If you know any healthcare workers, supermarket staff, pharmacists, or security guards, let them know you are grateful for their efforts.

60. Bake! – Considering the supermarkets are selling out of almost everything, why not get some ingredients and start baking. Don’t stress if the bread aisle is bare, there are hundreds of super easy recipes online that can help even the most amateur baker channel their inner Betty Crocker.

54. Origami – If you have never tried your hand at origami before, it’s time to get folding. The beautiful Japanese art form is relaxing and great for someone with extra time on their hands.

eanette Allom-Hill greets me at the door of her beautiful Mons home wearing a gorgeous flowing dress, minimal makeup and a warm smile, her scruffy Maltese shih tzu, Dublin, tucked under one arm. A lot has changed since I first interviewed her for My Weekly Preview in 2018, when she had arrived from Sydney to take on a top executive role at Sunshine Coast Council.

Ms Allom-Hill came to the Coast as a senior manager and expert in the fields of strategy and change leadership, having started her business career with Microsoft and progressed into the New South Wales Treasury, Department of Transport and NBN Australia. As group executive, business performance at Sunshine Coast Council, she quickly established a reputation as a leader with integrity, who treated all around her with kindness, respect and empathy.

For this, she was recently named the winner of the 2020 Telstra Queensland Business Women’s Public Sector and Academia Award, from a field of 22,000 entrants. The win is not only kudos for Ms Allom-Hill and the Sunshine Coast, but an acknowledgement that there is a growing appetite for her style of leadership – a mood for change.

“For me to be recognised as an outstanding woman who disrupts the way we do business and sets the example for others really honours everything I’ve fought for and stood for my whole career,” she says. “It just confirms I’m doing the right thing, being authentic, brave and courageous, but doing it with kindness and heart.

“The Telstra panel said what they loved was that my foundational trait as a leader is to get the balance right between grace and grit. Grace is how I think, act and carry myself and how I am with my people. Do I do the right thing? Am I always respectful, confident, do I help others succeed and feel good about themselves? Grit is being brave, gutsy and courageous, knowing that with great power comes great responsibility. Do I bring my true self? Can I not walk past the behaviour I don’t accept?

“Sometimes it’s hard to be that type of leader. You often get criticised because people think you’re weak. We’re lucky nowadays, we’re getting leaders like Jacinda Ardern talking about kindness.

If I can continue to really promote that platform, what it ultimately does is it means people can come to work, feel safe and do their best work.”

Upon announcing her Telstra award win a few weeks ago, Ms Allom-Hill had another announcement: she was leaving the council to take on a new role consulting with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in Canberra in the area of public sector reform.

Working for her former employer, Boston Consulting Group, she’ll be based in Canberra three days a week, while her husband Jeff and sons Tom, 16 and Will, 13, will remain on the Coast – they’ve all fallen in love with it over the past few years and are here to stay.

An enthusiastic advocate of local business, Ms Allom-Hill has been busily posting photos of local businesses she loves to shop with to her Facebook page, encouraging people to support them.

Having decided to stay living here and commute to Canberra, she has plans for new business ventures to help stimulate the Coast’s economy and is supporting local charities, recently taking on a role as a board member for child abuse support group No More Fake Smiles.

“I am committed to the Coast and committed to thinking about what we can do post-COVID to help recovery. How can we showcase small business? How do we start to stimulate the economy?

“We are blessed on the Sunshine Coast because it is beautiful. We can’t underestimate how healing this environment is, and it is the best community on earth. People want to help you and we need to reach out and ask for help. For me, the Sunshine Coast is a place we can start something great together; it is the right place with the right heart.”

Happy to have time at home with the family before she embarks on her new role in Canberra in June, it’s clear family comes first for this high achiever. “The most important thing to me in my entire life is a loving family, and that comes from terrible trauma,” she says. myweeklypreview.com.au

11/05/2020 1:09:36 PM

COVER STORY Born in South Africa to a single mother, Ms Allom-Hill was adopted at birth by a strict Christian couple who allowed no music or TV and fostered little joy in the home. She did find warmth and love in the arms of her black nanny, but after her tragic murder, the family fled South Africa for Australia. In Sydney’s northern suburbs, Ms Allom-Hill struggled to fit in and was relentlessly bullied at school. At the age of 30 and newly married, she set off for London with Jeff to look for her birth family. She hired private investigators and was shocked to meet an incredibly affluent family living a life she could only ever have dreamed of.

“I came from a poor, missionary, abusive childhood and the shock of the life I could have had almost killed me,” she says. “They showed me photos of their houses all over the world. I know they meant well, but I got in the car and sobbed my lungs out. I thought, what if I’d had that life?

It’s not fair. But then I had an incredible moment where I realised everything that has happened to me has happened for a reason and I have to do something with it, otherwise none of it makes sense. I have to tell my story and I have to use it to help others. This has influenced every decision I’ve made from that time on.

“My childhood shaped me to have huge empathy. I know what it’s like to feel terror, be scared, be bullied and made to feel you’re not good enough and something is wrong with you. I believe everything shapes you for particular moments in life, and that helps me get up every day. As you become a leader, you feel a responsibility for others who have been through trauma and haven’t come out the other side.”

A role model for many women on the Sunshine Coast, Ms Allom-Hill works long hours and shoulders great responsibility –

at the council she was responsible for a budget of $848 million – but somehow, she is able to strike the right balance between work and home life.

“I outsource things that take my time away from my family,” she says. “I’m very big on boundaries. I just box time. We sit down and have dinner together, we play a card game together, we have days and weekends that are family time. It’s about knowing what your core is and what makes you who you are, boxing that and keeping it safe. It’s about being authentic and true, versus being the ultimate career woman.

There’s no such thing as the ultimate career woman.”

Ms Allom-Hill’s mission in life is to change the face of leadership, and she is well on her way, combining inherent qualities like empathy with those she has had to develop over time, like bravery.

“I think having empathy and heart is just who I am, but I’ve had to learn the bravery part. Grace is inherent but I had to learn the grit – to be brave and gutsy, because I was scared of what that meant. I’ve also had to learn to be brave enough to show up as my true self every day. I’ve learned that people connect to who you are, and when you connect to who you are, they trust you. The minute people trust me, I can get them to commit to something, have a conversation and deliver. Oxford University has done research on the relationship between kindness and happiness. If you are kind, people respond to you, trust you, are happier and therefore in a work environment, they perform better.

“That’s why I feel blessed to have won the Telstra award – increasingly my mission is to change the world in regards to leadership. I want to change leadership from dictatorial and power hungry, to leadership that’s kind and inclusive. That’s what really drives me.”

“I am committed to thinking about what we can do post-COVID to help recovery”

LOCAL NEWS

I

ncreased financial stress, higher alcohol consumption and being forced to stay home has led to a surge in domestic and family violence, Queensland officials say.

Magistrates have been inundated with cases of domestic and family violence in their courtrooms, and paramedics are getting more calls for help.

The crisis has pushed the State Government to hold an online domestic violence summit with stakeholders and advocates to assess where funding should be directed in the future.

The news comes as Australians recognise May as Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month – a time to remind the community of the importance of supporting those affected.

Australian police deal with 5000 domestic violence matters on average every week – that’s one every two minutes. On average, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.

“I’ve been disturbed to hear from our emergency department staff that the reduction in sporting injuries and road trauma has been partially offset by trauma caused by domestic and family violence,” Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles says.

“Anything we can do to address this

You are not alone As cases of domestic and family violence surge in the wake of COVID-19, governments and service providers are reminding the community that they are here to help.

WORDS: My Weekly Preview with AAP.

increase in domestic and family violence during the pandemic is really important.”

Service providers have reported a dramatic increase in the brutality and severity of attacks on women and children, Queensland Minister for Women Di Farmer says.

“If you are a victim of domestic and family violence, life is already incredibly challenging,” she says.

“With the advent of COVID-19, those challenges have increased dramatically.

“If you are a victim you are probably now at home 24 hours a day with a perpetrator who is watching your every move, so your ability to call for help, your ability to escape is severely limited.”

She says financial loss, cabin fever, a widespread rise in anxiety and a 70 per cent increase in alcohol consumption can push violent perpetrators over the edge.

Sunshine Coast Council and regional support service Centacare are working together in a bid to deal with the issue locally.

Centacare has supported 2119 clients experiencing domestic and family violence on the Sunshine Coast this year.

Of these, almost 50 per cent identify as at serious or high risk of harm.

Mayor Mark Jamieson says domestic and family violence is an insidious

Self Funded retirees protest the high cost of hearing aids Sunshine Coast The high cost of good quality digital hearing aids has been a significant barrier to Self Funded Retirees obtaining help for their communication problems. One local clinic has decided to take the issue head on. Senior Clinician Lisa Burley says “It became apparent to us that it was becoming almost impossible for people to get the help they needed and it was effecting their day to day lifestyle.”

If you have been quoted thousands of dollars for hearing aids you need to get a second opinion.

Ms Burley says “ We have set up the only Locally Digital Hearing Owned and Operated fulltime Hearing Clinic in Aids from Golden Beach to specifically help Self Funded Retirees get high quality hearing aids at sensible prices”. As the clinic is independently owned itt has access to all major brands of hearing aids and d the pricing is quite often thousands of dollars cheaper than what is being quoted elsewhere. e.

$700

Senior Clinician ,Mark Paton stated, “We feel el its time for a fair deal for the self funded folk, our local status also allows us to provide trials of new technology, we want our patients to get great results without it costing a fortune.”

LOCAL NEWS problem in communities and its impacts are often inter-generational. “This scourge is something we must all take a stand against,” he says.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is just as important to pause and remember all of those brave individuals affected by domestic and family violence – and particularly, those who are no longer with us as a result of abuse.”

Centacare Family and Relationship Services area manager Adam Beck says COVID-19 has changed the way the community will mark Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in 2020. The annual community march and candle lighting vigil was not able to take place this year.

However, residents were invited to light a candle to honour victims.

“While we can’t gather together as a community, it is still extremely important we all take a stand against domestic and family violence. This is an opportunity for residents of the Sunshine Coast to unite and send a clear message that domestic and family violence will not be tolerated in our community.

“It is important that all members of the community know that domestic and family violence services, including Centacare, continue to operate and are ready to provide support.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP As a community, we can offer support to those in need. If you know someone in a violent situation, there are a few things you can do. If the person is in immediate danger, phone 000. If not, phone a support service such as DV Connect to find out how best to approach the situation. It’s important to encourage and support victims.

ROLLERS, AWNINGS AND SHUTTERS

COVID RULES CAUSE RECORD LOW FLU RATES Early-season flu is at record lows in Australia thanks to improved hygiene and social distancing, says a leading public health advocate who wants these practices to continue after COVID-19 dissipates.

The latest report by the Department of Health-backed Australian FluTracking Team shows just 0.2 per cent of nearly 75,000 participants in its online survey last week had influenza-like illness.

That compares with a five-year average above 1.5 per cent for the same time of year.

As governments ease coronavirusrelated restrictions, Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says Australians need to learn from the experience after previously becoming “a bit relaxed about hygiene”.

Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Terry Slevin says while it was always known regular, thorough handwashing and social distancing could prevent flu and related transmissions, often the focus had been on vaccines and finding cures.

“Rates of flu have gone through the floor,” Prof Slevin says. “Record low rates at the moment demonstrate the benefits of the kind of things we’ve been doing,

driven by the COVID pandemic. It makes sense as we come out of this that we review what we’ve learnt.

“I expect we’ll come to the realisation that we do need to refocus on some of those very basic public health measures, and hygiene and distance are two very obvious examples.”

Prof Slevin says it would be “madness to go back to business as usual” and he believes stickers would remain on retail floors after the pandemic so people continue keeping their distance from each other.

Have your say!

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) are partnering to deliver the M2M cycleway.

A separated cycleway will reduce the need for interaction between motorists and people riding bikes on roads and between active transport users and pedestrians on existing footpaths. The separation will improve safety, comfort and travel time for all users.

Initial consultation on the M2M cycleway project was held late last year. The feedback received has been used to inform the planning and develop a preferred option for Stage 6.

TMR is committed to genuine consultation and encourages all stakeholders and community members to have their say on the project. The preferred option will be open for feedback from Monday 11 May to Friday 19 June 2020. TMR will consider the feedback received and use it to inform the final design.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

Mark Davidson, Ord Minnett Buderim.

IS IT SAFE TO BUY?

R

eproduced below are extracts from an article by Australian fund manager Roger Montgomery, titled Is it safe to buy? To save you reading time, his summation is ‘wait’.

“With the Australian market rebounding strongly, some investors could be experiencing a fear of missing out. But an analysis of economic conditions tells me there’s no rush to dive in. With the market looking expensive, so many uncertainties in the world, and a growing list of dilutive capital raisings, is it a good time to sit on your hands?

“I previously outlined the risks that had arisen alongside the market’s near-25 per cent bounce from its March lows. A multitude of concurrent uncertainties, from the virus to the economic and business revenue cataclysm and consequent fiscal

and monetary lifelines, a rupturing EU and a raft of wealth-destroying capital raisings should begin to weigh on the market’s premature enthusiasm.

“Since March 23, the ASX 200 has bounced just more than 25 per cent. This would be a highly desirable outcome had it occurred over a year. Not so desirable is a 25 per cent bounce in less than a month, and ahead of arguably the worst hit to revenues and earnings since the last recession, if not the Great Depression.

“According to an analysis by our friends at Macquarie, the ASX 200 price to earnings multiple is more than one standard deviation above the average and higher than 96 per cent of month-end PEs since 2002. Even at the peak of 2007, the ASX200 did not reach its current level of 16.6 times.

The counterfactual point is that it did reach this level in 2015 and 2016, and of course, the market surged higher.

“Price earnings multiples are questionable as a valuation tool but, even then, they are only as good as the earnings estimates they are based on. What worries me is that while industrial company earnings for 2020 are expected to fall in aggregate by 16 or 17 per cent, analysts are expecting 2021 earnings to bounce materially. And based on Macquarie broker estimates, the ASX 200’s earnings per share

will be marginally ahead of FY19 by the end of FY22. That means COVID-19’s impact on company earnings will have been completely erased. I hope that is correct, but nobody can know.

“Businesses have never seen anything like this. Virgin had been begging the government for money and then admitted itself into rehab. Qantas and Sydney Airport analysts are assuming international flights won’t recommence until January, salaries

“I am forever trying to remind myself that the right thing to do… is nothing at all” and employment are plunging and the stock of rental properties is surging as tenants return home. Meanwhile our channel checks are telling us that some businesses appear to be right-sizing permanently. That means fewer employees even when business activity recommences.

But if businesses don’t know what’s going on, I am not sure the analysts of those businesses have any better insight.

“But even if we take those optimistic analyst hypotheses into account, excluding resources, banks and property, Macquarie says the rest of the market is on a price to earnings multiple of 25.6 times financial year 2020 earnings per share and almost 19 times 2022. Divide 100 by the FY22 PE ratio of 19 and you get the inverse of the PE – the earnings yield, which is 5.2 per cent more than two years hence. That seems unacceptably low given the aforementioned uncertainties, even if three-year bond rates are currently 0.26 per cent.

“I am forever trying to remind myself that the right thing to do, most of the time, is nothing at all.

“The combination of an expensive market, multiple concurrent uncertainties and a diminution to intrinsic values through low-return capital raisings, sets the market up for further volatility. In a recent interview, Charlie Munger said he was sitting on the sidelines, despite the piles of cash at Berkshire Hathaway. Perhaps investors are wise to do likewise.”

Pour the egg mix into the pan and top with the halved tomatoes.

Cook for around five minutes, until the base is set, and transfer to the oven to finish cooking – around 10 to 15 minutes.

The Sunny Coast Special is done when puffed and golden and a knife inserted into the centre of the dish yields no uncooked eggy mixture.

Remove from the oven and allow it to sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

I like to serve this with a simple rocket salad with a little creme fraiche and snipped fresh chives on top.

It’s wonderful to take on picnics and travels well.

METHOD Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat an ovenproof 22cm frypan over medium heat.

While waiting for the pan to heat, add the eggs, cream, cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper to a bowl. Whisk lightly with a fork until eggs are broken up and all is just combined.

Lightly oil the pan, add bacon and fry until lightly golden.

Add mushies and cook until lightly golden, then turn the heat down.

Add remaining ingredients except tomatoes and mix gently to avoid breaking up the sweet potato. Cook for a few minutes.

A DELICATE BALANCE

RESTRICTIONS SNAPSHOT

As COVID-19 lockdown restrictions are eased across the country, state and territory leaders are warning all Australians to remain cautious and keep their distance to avoid a second wave of disease. Source: AAP.

AAP

A

ustralia could experience a second wave of coronavirus infections if people continue to crowd into public places such as shopping centres. This is the message from Australia’s chief medical officer, who has put the onus on individuals, as restrictions ease. “That second wave that we’ve talked about, none of us want to get it, but it is not as much about the rules and regulations as it is about personal responsibility,” Brendan Murphy said recently.

Images have emerged of dense crowds of people flocking to shopping centres over the weekend. “If you’re going to a shopping centre to buy something, go and buy something, but don’t hang around the shopping centre for half an hour mingling for no purpose. Go home,” Prof Murphy said. “If you are arriving at a shopping centre and you find a crowd at an escalator not wanting to practise social distancing or crowding together, don’t go in. Leave.

“Come back later. If a lift opens and you find it is full of people, don’t get in. All of these things are really important.”

He said businesses should refuse to serve people with flu-like symptoms, and bosses should send workers home if they are sick.

Last Friday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison mapped out the national cabinet’s planned three-step easing of restrictions. Mr Morrison said the plan would get 850,000 people back to work in the coming months.

“You can stay under the doona forever and you’ll never face any danger. But we’ve got to get out from under the doona at some time,” he said on Friday.

“If not now, well, then when?”

States can pick and choose which elements of the stages they move on.

Queensland will be one of the first states to emerge from the strict lockdown measures that were implemented to curb the spread of coronavirus. Restrictions have

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk recently announced a relaxation of restrictions already begun to ease with up to five people from the same home now allowed to visit another household.

Last Friday, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced further relaxation to restrictions as Queensland marked its 100th day since its first infection. As of May 16, restaurants, cafes, clubs, shops and beauty salons will be able to reopen with 10 people permitted in each venue at one time.

Personal training sessions, libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms will also open with no more than 10 people at a time. Weddings with up to 10 people, and funerals of up to 20 inside or 30 outside will also be allowed. Bars and gaming facilities will remain closed in the first phase of a staged easing of the state’s lockdown.

Open home inspections and auctions, and recreational travel for day trips up to 150 kilometres from home will be allowed.

Under the public health direction, police officers can issue on-the-spot fines of $1334.50 for individuals and $6672.50 for corporations who break these laws.

Further restrictions will be eased next month with stages two and three subsequently rolled out. “All things going well, from June school holidays, Queenslanders will be able to drive and stay at accommodation for the first time since the pandemic hit,” the premier said.

“Then in July we are absolutely hoping… we will be able to open up travel for right across Queensland.”

Ms Palaszczuk said the measures would be evaluated at the end of every month, according to the latest health advice. She warned Queensland’s borders would remain closed while there was a risk of infection from other states.

Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles said the government did not expect a complete eradication of the virus. “As we ease restrictions, that does increase the likelihood that we would see outbreaks. It’s not been about necessarily getting to zero cases… It’s been about making sure we have the capacity to respond quickly and stomp out any outbreaks that might occur.”

Social distancing of 1.5 metres and strict hand hygiene remains in place.

Step 1 starts Saturday, May 16: • Gatherings of up to five people in homes and 10 in public spaces.

• Dining in at restaurants, pubs, clubs and cafes for up to 10 patrons (no bars or gaming).

• Recreational travel up to 150km from home for day trips.

• Some beauty therapies and nail salons allowed up to 10 people, bookings essential.

• Libraries, playground equipment, skate parks and outdoor gyms open with up to 10 people.

• Weddings allowed 10 guests.

• Funerals allowed 20 guests indoors and 30 outdoors.

• Real estate open homes and auctions allowed up to 10 people.

• Reopening public pools and lagoons to up to 10 people, more allowed with an approved plan.

Step 2 starts June 13: • Gatherings at homes up to 20 visitors.

• Dining-in at restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes up to 20 patrons, more allowed with an approved COVIDsafe plan.

• Holiday travel within your region.

Aiming for Step 3 in July with open travel right across the state and possible interstate travel.

The Federal Government’s path out of COVID-19: • Three-stage plan, with aim of ending most restrictions by July.

• States and territories will progress through stages depending on local conditions.

• National cabinet will meet today, May 15, and review settings every three weeks.

• Widespread testing, contact tracing and ability to react quickly to stop outbreaks are vital.

BUSINESSES URGED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY Businesses are being urged to stagger the times employees start and finish work ahead of a planned easing of COVID-19 restrictions over the coming months.

Last week, Prime Minister Scott Morrison set an aspirational July target for the return of most employees to their workplaces.

Authorities have begun planning for the resumption of normal trading with the Commonwealth and state governments readying for the associated

influx of people on public transport.

National Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said increased numbers on buses and trains would create challenges around maintaining social distancing.

“Social distancing is not possible when you are crowded,” he said.

“We are very keen, for those who are working from home, to continue working from home for the time being.

“But we are also keen for employers and employees to look at staggered start

and finish times,” Prof Murphy said.

“I think we have to think about a very different way people may be starting at work, some starting at seven o’clock, some starting at 10 o’clock and people finishing at different times.

“We have to think differently about that so there is a lot of planning going on in the meantime.

“The message – go back to work. But if it works for you and your employer, continue to work from home.”

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

Lift your mood and your life Sign up for a free Sunshine Coast wellbeing project to help you get more out of your life.

WINTER WARMER As temperatures start to drop across the Coast, many of us are getting out the marshmallow sticks to enjoy backyard fires.

If you’re planning to get out the fire pit, please only use dry, untreated wood so that you don’t cause a smoke issue for yourself or your neighbours. Green waste, plastics, treated wood or paper must not be burned.

S

unshine Coast Council is proud to be the first organisation to partner with internationally renowned lifestyle medicine expert Dr Darren Morton to provide The Lift Project.

It’s a free 10-week online wellbeing program that will be available for every Sunshine Coast resident from mid-May after Council saw a need to take proactive steps to improve our residents’ mental wellbeing during and after the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Lift Project Sunshine Coast – lift your mood and your life – is a holistic, evidence-based, online educational and preventative adventure.

It draws together the latest research from neuroscience, lifestyle medicine and positive psychology, and is designed to help people get more out of their lives.

Our community’s resilience is so

important, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and as we move into and through the recovery phase.

Council’s Sunshine Coast Community Strategy also recognises that strong social connections, relationships and trust within our communities contributes to improving overall health and wellbeing.

That’s why there’s no better way to respond to this time, than through The Lift Project Sunshine Coast which complements and extends on Council’s Covid Kindness initiative.

The science behind the project is very clear. There are many simple, but powerful things we can each do to feel better on a daily basis.

The Lift Project, which has been 15 years in the making, presents these strategies in a fun and experiential way everyone can enjoy.

Sunshine Coast residents can register now for this terrific free program which is suitable for people of all ages including our leaders of tomorrow – teenagers.

Registrations close May 22.

From May 18, residents who have registered will receive the program in 10 weekly emails with topics including: learning about the “emotional brain”, why activity and being outdoors is crucial, the importance of community, boosting your emotional wellbeing, eating healthy, taking time out, establishing work-life balance and what it takes to flourish.

Registration is a quick and easy process and only requires people to enter their current residential address, and provide their email details.

Sunshine Coast residents can register for this wellbeing educational adventure at: sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/liftproject.

Should Council receive a complaint regarding a smoke nuisance, penalties may apply. Head to Council’s website to make sure you meet the fire requirements.

MY OPINION

H

A SLICE OF WISDOM

LOVE DURING CORONAVIRUS

Sami Muirhead has learned a lot of lessons over the past few months, but her latest epiphany is a tasty one.

Suzanne Loubris knows that isolating with your partner can either make or break a relationship.

ow good does it feel to go out for a drive and be able to see a few friends again? The doors are not open yet but I can feel the fresh air creeping through the shutters.

Corona keeps throwing its curve ball life lessons and I do not think I’m alone in being a little overwhelmed at the thought of returning to life BC (before corona) that is summed up in one overused and very simple word: busy. You know I never understood until COVID-19 that I control how busy I am.

I used to be that annoying person who, when asked how I am, would reply “great, busy, but great”. Well busy can buzz off!

Busy is overrated and left me tired and not sleeping. Slow is just what I needed in life.

What a powerful thought. When the kids are sick or have a birthday, it is better to show up than spend up. I know. How stupid that it took a worldwide pandemic to remind me of this little gem!

As school starts again and life is slowly getting back to normal, I cannot help but ask myself what exactly is normal. Except for the economic fallout, the last few months are surely ‘normal’ compared with the life we have all adopted in recent decades. Surely it is ‘normal’ to spend the weekends with your family and ‘normal’ to not go to the shops every single day. I think it is ‘normal’ to sit and relax at night and have time to spend together doing things that count such as reading and eating long

lunches as a family. But here we go ready to face the brave new frontier of ‘normal’ and our family is still determining what we want our boundaries to be.

I say that but I will probs be the first one to go to every celebration/barbecue/ clothing sale/work function and party myself into a coma. But I need most of all to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to how I spend my time and focus my energies. John the Baptist sure got it right with that saying.

And so I leave you with a another piece of wisdom, if a little less philosophical.

Always keep an emergency pizza in the freezer. Genius! I recently interviewed the gorgeous Rose Adam who has just left the MasterChef kitchen on TV. This was the Adelaide cook’s best piece of wisdom.

Make sure you have a sneaky pepperoni pizza to chow down in lockdown, or any other time for that matter.

It started me doing a little survey with my friends and it turns out they have all sorts of emergency food in their freezers all of the time. Kylie always keeps two tubs of chocolate rocky road ice-cream. Tamara has a bag of frozen dim sims for midnight munchie attacks. And Jo has a party meat pie, so she knows if a craving hits her, she is prepared.

Perhaps I need to stop looking for the big life lessons from corona and just know from here on I don’t need to stockpile toilet paper, but I do need an emergency pizza!

A

n amusing image comes to mind of a line of people outside the ‘divorce court’ with the title: life after coronavirus.

It’s easy to assume that isolation will lead to relationships bursting into flames due to the intense pressure of having to spend so much time indoors with an a***hole. Sorry! I meant our delightful partner and loved ones.

I asked a married man the secret to maintaining a relationship during coronavirus. He paused, seemed confused but then said, “I don’t know that it’s any different, you have to keep doing what you normally do”. When questioned further he said, “give each other space, co-operate, work together, compromise, support each other and communicate”.

I guess the pressure of the pandemic will either turn coal into diamonds or it will just continue to be coal. If the relationship was already under duress, it is going to blow up once you are stuck together day after day. This makes me think of a parallel journey that retirees go through: I’ve heard that many people realise that they don’t actually like their partner once they have to spend a lot of time with them.

I have a few troubled male clients.

Their relationships are in need of repair and they don’t know what to do. For some its as simple as asking: “Would you use a motorbike/car/boat that hasn’t been

maintained? Do you know how you listen to every sound your motorbike makes, and you act accordingly so that you don’t die? Go maintain your relationship with the same amount of enthusiasm and care; listen to every sound your partner makes.”

It’s a beautiful moment for me when they return with a big smile to tell me they have achieved success and their relationship is improving. Even more incredible is the 20-year-old man who comes to his partner’s (my client’s) sessions to learn how to help her deal with her anxiety. It is one of the most beautiful

“Co-operate, work together, compromise, support each other” things I get to see – two young people requesting coaching/guidance on how to make a relationship work. That’s a helluva lot more satisfying than trying to stop 40-year-olds shouting abuse at each other after years of built-up resentment.

How do we maintain love during coronavirus? Listen, pay attention, provide space, compromise and collaborate.

Be interested in how you can make your partner smile and then do that (within reason) often.

SHOCKING EPIDEMIC OF CHRONIC PAIN REVEALED More than 1.6 million Australians are living with chronic pain, and it’s costing us billions of dollars every year. WORDS: AAP.

C

hronic pain is a daily struggle for one in five Australians aged over 45, shocking new statistics reveal.

The rates are most acute among people aged over 85, where one in four people are suffering.

The hidden epidemic is costing the

24 My Weekly Preview | May 15, 2020

24.indd 1

Australian economy more than $140 billion each year, and the problem is only getting worse.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) estimates chronic pain cost taxpayers $139 billion in 2018.

The institute predicts the cost to blow out to $215 billion per annum by 2050,

due in large part to the country’s ageing population.

Costs associated with chronic pain include frequent healthcare visits, lost productivity and premature death.

Mental health is also a major issue.

Chronic pain is defined as lasting more than three to six months after an injury or illness, often resulting from surgery, cancer or conditions like arthritis or migraines.

People with chronic pain are more than twice as likely to have mental health problems than the broader population.

Alongside debilitating physical pain, many suffer from anxiety, depression and sleep deprivation.

Michael Vagg, an associate professor at the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, says there needs to be better training on chronic pain for doctors and more research on treatments.

Prof Vagg is also concerned about the number of opioids being prescribed to deal with the condition, with chronic pain sufferers three times more likely to be prescribed the drug than non-sufferers.

“It’s generally agreed we probably prescribe more opioid in Australia than is generally useful,” Prof Vagg told AAP. “But if you’re out in a regional centre

where there is no pain service, what is a GP to do?”

People are increasingly seeing their GPs much more about chronic pain. The number of related visits soared by 67 per cent in 10 years.

Chronic pain sufferers also stay in hospital five days longer than those without.

AIHW spokeswoman Katherine Faulks says people with chronic pain feel it most days of the week.

“Chronic pain is ongoing and debilitating, and can impact a person’s ability to participate in work, daily activities, exercise, and access health care,” she says.

This often means those with chronic pain have to surround themselves with an army of healthcare professionals, including doctors, psychologists and physiotherapists.

Prof Vagg says better integrating these specialist “pain teams” would help outgoing patients with chronic pain recover faster.

Some 1.6 million Australians are living with chronic pain, according to the latest AIHW statistics.

Smokers and overweight people are also more likely to suffer chronic pain.

So too are women and people on low incomes.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS ADVISERS

Are you really ready to retire?

A job can be more than a way to get paid.

When colleagues and career mean more to you than the money, moving on can be tough. If you’re expecting retirement to leave a big gap in your life, planning new routines, rewards and friendships will boost your optimism and wellbeing. By thinking about this ahead of time, and even taking steps to explore options, you can feel like you’re swapping a positive experience of working life for something even better.

Whether you love your job or can’t wait to retire, your health could force the issue.

So it’s no wonder the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports personal health as the second most common reason for retiring.

Freedom from working life can be a positive, even if it happens sooner than expected. But it can create problems for your finances when your time in retirement stretches into several decades. Australians are living longer due to improvements in medical care and living standards. But most people tend to underestimate just how long they’ll live. Speak to your financial adviser about income strategies and investments available to help protect against the risk of running out of savings later in life.

HAEMOTOLOGY

A new era in melanoma management

AGED CARE

ORTHOPAEDIC

The healing power of your favourite tunes

Which surgery is right for your joints?

Queensland has the unenviable title of the highest incidence of melanoma in the country. There have been significant improvements in the management of advanced melanoma in the past few years, moving away from relatively ineffective and potentially toxic chemotherapy towards highly-effective and well-tolerated immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy, as single agents or in the combination, enhance the ability of our own immune system to seek out and destroy cancer cells. These treatments have manageable toxicity and can easily be given in a day infusion centre.

My own patient experience over the past four years with these PBS-listed drugs did not differ with recent published study results, showing at least one in two patients treated with combination therapy are still alive and well at five years.

Therefore, effective and accessible treatments are available for what was once treated with a bleak outlook.

Ultimately, the best treatment is still prevention.

If you’re getting restless staying at home during the pandemic, try listening to music. Medical research shows more ways that music can assist you and your loved ones in these challenging months: 1. Pain relief – Those who were listening to music during surgery used less of this top-up medication. The music was calming in itself. So, why not reach for the CD player to aid your pain relief at home?

2. Better brain health – According to the Mayo Clinic, people with dementia can benefit from singing or listening to music. It can lower agitation and improve mood. The part of the brain responsible for storing musical memories is often less affected by dementia.

3. Improved balance – Regular exercise to music can reduce risk of falls. It will build your muscles, help you stay mobile and increase blood flow. Better balance boosts confidence too.

4. Enhanced sleep – The Sleep Foundation says listening to 45 minutes of music at bedtime can help you fall asleep faster, sleep longer and wake during the night less often. Well-chosen music lowers your heart rate and breathing.

With the government’s recent decision on elective surgery, many patients are relieved to know they can finally receive their joint replacement operation. It is important to know, though, that not all joint replacements surgeries yield the same results.

There are different techniques an orthopaedic surgeon can use, which will affect their patient’s length of recovery time in hospital. My preference is the minimally invasive, anterior hip replacement method as it helps my patients get up and start moving quickly, which is important for both their psychological and physical wellbeing.

Some of my patients have even been discharged from hospital the same day they were admitted.

Rehabilitation at home is ideal for most patients as it allows them to recover comfortably and in familiar surroundings.

It also helps patients get back quickly to the physical activities they enjoy.

Long stays in hospital are generally not necessary or desired.

Talk to your orthopaedic surgeon today to see if rapid recovery joint replacement is right for you.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

The new moon revs up your reputation zone so don’t hide your versatile Virgo talents! Be proud to show the world what you are truly capable of. Is a close relationship testing your patience? Habitual thinking and old solutions won’t help.

On Monday you’re full of ideas but don’t overpromise and then under-deliver. You’re feeling keen to communicate, but are other people listening? Under the influence of Neptune and Venus, it will be easy to misinterpret what others are saying.

Courtesy of retrograde Venus and the new moon, transformation is the name of the game this week. Don’t worry about changing (or controlling) those around you. Focus on yourself first. Can you reinvent a close relationship or pivot professionally?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Has a relationship been going down a rocky road? The new moon encourages you to build bridges and start communicating again. You’ll have to be proactive and patient, as you make the first move and are prepared to wait for long-term results.

You won’t feel particularly energetic or motivated this week, when Neptune drains the gas out of your tank. Avoid the temptation to get carried away and make inflated promises. It will be very easy to over extend yourself.

Has an old friendship finally run out of steam? Or is a fair-weather buddy criticising your behaviour and holding you back? Retrograde Venus urges you to review your peer group and surround yourself with people who nurture and support your dreams.

The new moon encourages you to adjust your home/work ratio so it’s much more balanced and family friendly. With Venus reversing through your home zone (until June 25) do all you can to bypass domestic drama and repair family friction.

MAJOR STAGE ONE CIVIL WORKS NEARING COMPLETION AT MAROOCHYDORE CITY CENTRE

C

onstruction of a new car park and connection of the innovative automated waste collection system in stage one of the new Maroochydore City Centre are nearing completion with the team from Hall Contracting powering through civil works.

Hall Contracting project manager Greg Busse says the sealed car park will accommodate more than 200 car spaces, including disabled parking spaces and motorbike parking.

“We’ve been blessed with some great weather over the past few months and this has enabled our team to make great progress on the new car park as well as the connection of the automated waste collection system, which will be the first of its kind in Australia.

“For the car park, around 70 metres

of stormwater pipe has been installed at the southern side to catch any rainwater that falls while 200 metres of subsoil drainage has also been installed.

“We’ve also installed 150 metres of kerb and channel as well as conduits, pits and control boxes for

“This has been a big job for our team… This is an Australian first project of its type” the electrical system,” Mr Busse says.

SunCentral Maroochydore CEO John Knaggs says the new carpark is an important interim step in advance of the planned multi-deck car parks for the

city centre. “This carpark will be a valuable addition to the early stages of the project.

“Along with the with the on-street parking, the car park will serve the immediate needs of workers and visitors including those who may attend events on-site,” Mr Knaggs says.

Meanwhile, further south of the site, the Hall Contracting team is working to connect the automated waste collection system to the transfer station building off Carnaby Street prior to commissioning of the system later this year.

“This has been a big job for our team.

We have had a number of welding crews as well as a team of excavator, front-end loader, and water truck operators along with labourers working on this innovative project,” Mr Busse says.

“This is an Australian first project of its type so we are proud to play our role in its installation. It’s certainly a big job – we have completed 121 welds on the steel pipeline and 250 metres of pipe has been trenched, lowered in with sections welded together and backfilled.”

The first commercial building in the new Maroochydore City Centre, Foundation Place – which is being constructed by local builder Evans Built – recently completed its sixth level, which includes podium level car parks.

Just two levels remain to be built before the project is completed later this year.

Construction of Habitat’s Market Lane residences, Pro-invest’s Holiday Inn Express hotel and Sunshine Coast Council’s nine-storey city hall building are all scheduled to commence at various stages before the end of the year.

Access to the fastest data connection to Asia from Australia’s eastern seaboard will also soon be possible with the recent connection of the international subsea cable into the new city centre via the cable landing station on Maud Street.

with MWP’s man in the water

So with the world in economical meltdown and turmoil now is the time to appreciate everything we have and share around.

That said, I have just heard that a certain grub of a human being allegedly assaulted a Coast teenager at a beach over the weekend. The incident was reportedly all about one wave.

The kid is now recovering in hospital thanks to some bad-tempered person who, in my opinion, has no appreciation for how good he has it living here. To those who witnessed the incident, I hope you did the right thing and supported the kid.

Moving on, and last weekend was so much fun everywhere up the coast. I hope you got your fill.

Remember to be kind and enjoy.
