She is being celebrated, not only for her swimming success, but for her down-to-earth, hardworking, kind nature – and rightly so. Kaylee and her family have had a difficult 12 months following the passing of her father Sholto, who lost his brave battle with cancer. Kaylee has taken these life experiences, and her newfound fame in her stride, remaining true to the things that matter most – her loved ones and commitment to sport.

AGENDA

New study on Tinder predators Thousands of Sunshine Coast residents use dating apps every day, but not every user is trustworthy, new USC research has found. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

nline dating has surged during the pandemic, with dating app Tinder reporting 2020 its busiest year to date. But while online dating has kept the possibility of romance alive during an era of social distancing, face masks and lockdowns, new research from the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) has confirmed what many of us have long suspected: not everyone you meet on online dating apps can be trusted. It’s no secret people lie on their dating profiles. They lie about their age, height and body type, for example – all easily verifiable with a face-to-face meeting. But lurking among the mostly innocent fibbers who hope they’ll have a better chance if they add a few centimetres to their height or deduct a few years from their age, are narcissists, psychopaths and Machiavellians – what’s known in psychology as the dark triad. USC’s Dr Rachael Sharman recently completed a three-month survey of more than 200 Australian Tinder users between

the ages of 18 and 74 to gain further insight into how many could be categorised as falling in the dark triad and what their intentions are in using the platform. “We were interested in looking at the motives of what we call ‘non-dating Tinder users’. People have always lied in dating profiles and displayed a range of bad behaviours like ghosting, roasting, breadcrumbing and catfishing. We wanted to find out who these people are and what they are up to.” Dr Sharman’s team tested respondents in terms of their levels of psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism. “We used a scale that assesses people’s levels of all three,” she says. “We also trialled a single-item question, which was simply: are you a narcissist? Some actually admitted, ‘yes I am’ and they showed a good overlap with our psychological scale.” The research showed the majority of people who use Tinder are genuinely looking for a relationship, and of the non-dating Tinder users, their main

motivations are curiosity and flirting. However, the narcissists, psychopaths and Machiavellians are definitely out there. “We came up with very strong results,” Dr Sharman says. “They are not actually looking for a relationship. The reason they’re floating around Tinder is primarily to get an ego boost or casual sex, however, they will put forward another agenda. “These appear to be our problem children. It’s probably not a huge surprise to a lot of people, but we were interested in demonstrating those statistically significant links in our research. “The psychopaths were more likely to have more problematic Tinder use or addictive Tinder use. “They’re on there a lot and are becoming addicted. The narcissists came in at four per cent of users, which is roughly the same offline. This survey looked at people who are really not okay; not just a little bit narcissistic, but highly narcissistic or highly psychopathic. “Our findings were in line with what we

would expect in the general population. “Their motives are quite nefarious,” Dr Sharman says. “You’re probably going to get burned by them if you encourage them.” However, while it’s clear shady characters exist on dating apps, it’s important to note the majority of people do use online dating for benevolent reasons – even just to find friends. The 2019 ABC Australia Talks survey found more Australians meet their partner online than anywhere else and it has been the case since 2010. In July, The Wall Street Journal reported a growing number of Millennials and Generation Zs were using dating apps to find platonic friends, rather than dates or a hook-up. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Dr Sharman stresses. “People who put forward one agenda but behave in a way that’s different to that can cause a lot of distress. We’re not suggesting if two consenting adults want to hook up, that’s a problem. It’s the fake motivation that’s the problem.” To avoid an unwanted encounter with someone from the dark triad on a dating app, Dr Sharman warns users to be wary of signs of addictive behaviours. If you start a relationship and your new partner is constantly checking their feed and doesn’t want to quit the dating app, it’s a big warning sign. “Look at people who are requiring lots of ego-boosting stuff or respond in an over-the-top way to flattery and fish for more compliments,” she says. “Watch out for people who want to rush into bed too quickly. With narcissists, there is a beginning cycle of love bombing. They’ll say you’re the most amazing person they’ve ever met, you have such an amazing connection and then try and rush you down the aisle in a month. Too much, too soon is a red flag.”

COVER STORY

Kaylee McKeown’s meteoric rise to the top One of Australia’s most successful swimmers from the recent Tokyo Olympics, Kaylee McKeown, is back home on the Sunshine Coast. She spoke with My Weekly Preview to reflect on the Games, her performance and the people who helped her get there. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

Swimming sisters Kaylee and Taylor McKeown Image: Greg Gardner

t’s one thing th to compete at the Olympic Games. It’s another thing entirely tto compete at your first Olympics having recently lost your Olympic father to cancer canc and dealt with the stress of a global pandemic, then stun the nation by pand walking away with three gold medals and a bronze at the age of just 20. It really deserves a solid ‘F*** yeah!’. de Kaylee McKeown will go down in M history as the sweetest person to ever drop an F-bomb on national television. While she regrets her telev slip sli of the tongue as she spoke to t a journalist poolside after winning her first gold medal, it only endeared her more to most Australians, who could not n have been happier for the Sunshine Coast swimmer. young Su space of a week, Ms McKeown In the spa making her Olympic debut went from ma one of Australia’s most to becoming o Olympians. Her four-medal successful Oly Tokyo Olympics puts her ahead haul at the Tok Rice and just behind the of Stephanie R Shane Gould. It also makes her legendary Sha most decorated homegrown arguably the m Coast Olympian. Sunshine Coa When My Weekly Preview interviewed Ms McKeown and sister Taylor in the their Commonwealth Games lead-up to the appearances iin 2018 (see inset photo), Ms McKeown was completing Year 12 at Lutheran College while maintaining Pacific Luther schedule with her sister, a training sch under of the und der University Un Sunshine Coast Spartans S coach Chris Mooney. co Ms McKeown credited her older cr sister sis (who won silver at the 2016 Olympics and an gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games) Co for inspiring her to start swimming in Year 5, when swi she realised she was “much better bett at swimming than I was wa at anything else I had tried”. “I “ have been racing really reall competitively since my early teens through age e group swimming,” she says. “My older sister Taylor was o an Olympic so I have really been Ol i swimmer, swi around the sport sp for quite a while now.”

Video footage of the family watching Ms McKeown win in Tokyo shows Taylor jumping for joy in support of her younger sister’s phenomenal achievements in the pool. It was all the more poignant after the loss of their father Sholto to brain cancer in August 2020. Ms McKeown has her father’s words, “I’ll always be with you” tattooed on her foot and indeed, she believes he was. “For sure he was with me,” she says. “He is always with me and is such a source of strength and inspiration for me every day. The postponement of the Games for a year meant that he was not there in person, but no question he was with me.” In a moving press conference following her first win in Tokyo, Ms McKeown told reporters how things had popped up on her phone that only he would have said to her. Coach Chris Mooney was quoted as saying, “Who’s to say, who’s to know – in that last 10 metres, her dad wasn’t there helping her get over the line?” Ms McKeown made her debut as part of the Australian Dolphins at age 15. She won her first major international medal at the 2019 World Championships claiming silver in the 200-metre backstroke. In 2021, she has been smashing records, setting three national records in the span of one weekend, in the 200-metre, 100-metre and 50-metre backstroke at the Sydney Open. She then went on to break the world record in the women’s 100-metre backstroke at the Australian Swimming Trials with a time of 57.45. Securing a ticket to her first Olympic Games, her talent wowed the nation as she claimed gold in both the 100-metre and 200-metre backstroke. Ms McKeown began to get an inkling a future as an Olympic star could be an achievable dream for her during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. “I used to watch the Australian swim team swim at Olympic Games really back to Beijing (2008) and into London (2012) and I feel like that is when I started to think, wow, that would be so cool and such an honour to do one day. I don’t really spend too much time thinking about outcomes and results with my swimming and whether I can win a certain medal or break a certain record. “My focus is just on each day working as hard as I can, improving and getting better and if I can do that, I give myself the best opportunity at success.” myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

Kaylee McKeown winning her second gold medal at the recent Tokyo Olympics Coach Chris Mooney, who recently left the Spartans to take on a new role on the Gold Coast, did things differently with Ms McKeown. In a break from tradition, he decided to ease her in slowly, rather than push her too hard, too early. She was placed on a long-term athlete development tracking plan and given time to complete her Year 12 studies, with only five full training a sessions a week rather than the usual 10. Mr Mooney believed her times would dramatically increase once she finished school and he increased her workload and by delaying that, they would avoid burnout. The plan paid off and Ms McKeown was able to stand on the podium having won gold at her first Olympics – something every Olympian dreams of. “Standing on the podium with my first Olympic gold medal and hearing the Australian national anthem being played was just a very surreal moment,” she says. “It was a lot to take in. I felt happy, I felt relieved, and I really just thought about everything that had gone into that moment. All of the hard work we put in as a team with myself, my coach and support team, my family, everyone. I’m very thankful, very happy.

“Winning gold at the Olympics is an incredible and surreal feeling. It’s validation for all that you put into it and just such a happy feeling to share with my teammates, my family and my friends. They all feel like a part of it to me.” It’s something most of us can only imagine and it takes some time to come down off the high, Ms McKeown says. “The Tokyo schedule was unique in that the finals were in the morning and the heats in the evenings, which is normally the other way around. It did take some adjustment because after a final you have media and drug testing and those sorts of things that take time. It would then take time to get back to the village and maybe get some food and a rest and then often back to the pool for the evening session. Sometimes I could get a bit of a nap in, but there was certainly some excitement and adrenalin which made it a bit harder!” Something we all wonder as we watch athletes compete in the race of their lives is this: what is going through their minds? “My processes,” says Ms McKeown. “The things that I had trained day in and day out for years. I knew what I had to do and I just really focused on doing it. For

sure there are nerves, but I know I have done the work and made the sacrifices so that is what I trust in at those moments. “It all happens so quickly in the moment and you get a bit caught up in that and just try to soak it in and enjoy it, but you then also know that all of the hard work brought you to this moment.” Ms McKeown spent two weeks in quarantine in Darwin before her triumphant homecoming to the Sunshine Coast, where family and friends were waiting to celebrate with her. She posts regular updates on her Instagram account, with recent photos showing her looking happy and relaxed on what she describes as a “much-needed girls getaway”. Asked whether she feels she misses out on a social life due to her training schedule, her answer is “not really”. “I do train very hard and am certainly very committed to my swimming, but I also feel it is important to have balance in my life and enjoy other aspects of my life with my friends and family,” she says. “I feel very lucky and grateful to have the opportunities I have to pursue my dreams and something I really love doing. “It’s nice to be back home and be able to spend some time with family and friends. I do like to keep things pretty low key where I can so that has been my focus. Enjoying the moment and what I have been able to achieve but in as normal a way as is possible.” Ms McKeown is taking a few welldeserved weeks out of the water, but will soon resume training for a big 2022, which includes the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships. “I don’t like to think too far ahead,” she says. “Paris [Olympics] is only three years away, so that feels like it will come around quickly and will be a big goal for me. “There are so many people who have helped and supported me along the way. Chris [Mooney] and the whole team at USC Spartans have been incredible. My family and friends, my sponsor Speedo and many more people. I am very appreciative, and onwards and upwards from here.”

UNIVERSITY PRIDE University of the Sunshine Coast athletes shone at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo. With Australia celebrating its highest-ever Olympic medal haul of 42 medals (17 gold, six silver and 19 bronze), USC-affiliated athletes can lay claim to one in every seven medals. USC Spartans swimmer Kaylee McKeown was the clear standout, with USC graduates Leah Neale and Kareena Lee both claiming bronze in their swimming events. Ms Lee (pictured), who swims with Noosa Swimming Club, finished just two seconds behind the winner, becoming the first Australian to win an Olympic medal in marathon swimming. Ten USC-affiliated athletes were selected to represent Australia at the Tokyo Paralympics. They competed in 28 events and won 12 of Australia’s 72 medals (one gold, three silver and eight bronze). Most of these medals went to members of the USC Spartans swimming club. The10 USC-affiliated athletes who competed are: Ben Hance, Ruby Storm, Ellie Cole, Katja Dedekind, Keira Stephens, Blake Cochrane, Braedan Jason (swimming), Alistair Donohoe (cycling), Chris Bond (wheelchair rugby) and Hanna Dodd (wheelchair basketball).

REVIEW

$610,000 USC STUDENT’S AWARD SMOKIN’ HOT BEER WINS COMPETITION Sunshine Coast beer lovers have cast their votes in Eumundi Brewery’s Brewed By Eu competition, with the winning beer announced as the Black Cockatoo Smoked Lager. Passionate home brewer Josh Batten of Peregian Springs came up with the winning beer idea, beating more than 300 entries from across the Sunshine Coast. “My unique ingredients were peat smoked malt and cold brew coffee and I was inspired to create a beer that reflected the bushfires of 2019, and the rural fire brigade who put their lives on the line to protect our community,” Mr Batten says. “The crisp, clean body and hint of smokiness reminds us of the formidable beauty of our landscape.” The limited-edition brew will be on tap at select pubs across the Sunshine Coast, with Eumundi Brewery also announcing a $5000 donation to the Eumundi Rural Fire Service from The Eumundi Brewery Community Fund.

Establishing why the Mooloolah River catchment has elevated electrical conductivity in its estuarine sediments has earned a University of the Sunshine Coast student high recognition from the Queensland branch of Soil Science Australia. Shannon Nestor, 28, from Maroochydore recently received the organisation’s annual Undergraduate Award for Excellence in Soil Science after presenting her study to professionals at an event in Brisbane. She says electrical conductivity could be a marker of pollution in river systems. Her project found that two of five estuarine site samples taken had elevated electrical conductivity but that the heavy metals observed in these samples were below action thresholds.

Nineteen Sunshine Coast environmental community groups can continue to focus on their core work caring for local wildlife and the environment thanks to the added support from the council’s Environment Levy Partnership Funding Program. The groups will share in $610,000 each year for the next three years. Councillor Maria Suarez says the funding contributes to operational expenses, allowing volunteers to continue providing a vital service to the region. “Last financial year, 3733 volunteers from our 20 partner groups donated more than 400,000 hours of their own time to improve our environment and look after our wildlife. Amazingly, this equates to more than $12 million in contributions towards our environment.”

NEW HEALTH BOSS An experienced health chief executive will take the helm of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service in October. Dr Peter Gillies, chief executive of Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service for the past five years, says he is eager to get to work in his new role. “The Sunshine Coast Health team is a passionate group of dedicated professionals, and I am looking forward to working with them to continually improve the way we provide care to patients across the region,” he says. His appointment follows the shock resignation of Adjunct Professor Naomi Dwyer in June.

Sales star soars We talk to Next Property Group sales superstar Melissa Schembri, who sold Malumba Estate for a record-breaking sum. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

he go-getter woman behind some of the region’s recordbreaking property sales is fast making a name for herself on the real estate scene. Melissa Schembri recently broke a Sunshine Coast record with the sale of Buderim’s Hamptons-inspired Malumba Estate, which was listed at an eyewatering $21 million. This comes just weeks after she set the record for a duplex with the sale of a $3.45-million Mooloolaba property. Driven by her passion to help others with care and respect, the Next Property Group agent says for her it’s not about making history, rather seeing buyers and

sellers achieve their property dreams. “I sit there and go ‘wow, we have broken this record’, but it’s not what I try to achieve when I’m doing the sale. “It’s not just a transaction for me, it’s so much more than that.” Despite her recent record-breaking success Ms Schembri only began her real estate career in 2018 after nearly two

decades in property law and life coaching. She studied a Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts, majoring in applied ethics at university before opening a property law firm in Mooloolaba at age 25. In this role she gave advice to property owners for more than $2.4 billion worth of property, and in 2008 was awarded the title of Australian Institute of Management’s Young Manager of the Year. After selling her law firm in 2009, Ms Schembri transferred her problem-solving skills into life coaching and motivational speaking, helping her clients achieve their goals on a more personal level. It was her love of property that led her to draw on the skills of her previous roles and enter the world of real estate. “As a property lawyer I was helping people day in, day out with conveyancing and property law,” Ms Schembri says. “When I sold my practice, I wanted to help people on a more emotional and personal side of things and went into motivational speaking and life coaching.” Part of her passion to help others is supporting various charities across the Sunshine Coast, such as Bloomhill Cancer Care. “I love attending charity events and helping give back to the community.” She says the past three years have involved hard work and a “hunger” for

Malumba Estate at Buderim was listed at $21 million results to get to where she is today. “It’s not an overnight success. It’s been 20 years in the property industry. “The team at Next Property Group, including Loren Wimhurst, has been such an inspiration and support to me.” Ms Schembri says the Sunshine Coast is currently experiencing an “interesting market” and she can’t believe the changes she has seen in the past 18 months. “It is really driven by supply and demand. We have a lot less properties, I think it is about 25 per cent less properties on the market than we did this time last year, but the spend is just

massively up. “We used to think a million or $2 million was ‘wow’, now we are looking at five or six million. It’s difficult to know what a property is worth in this market. “Some people think we are the keeper of price, but the seller has a price that they need or desire to move forward and the buyer has a price where they perceive value to be. When people say, ‘what’s my property worth’ we can say anywhere from $800,000 to $1.2 million as it depends on the buyer on the day, if you’re in a hurry to sell – there are so many factors.”

About a third of Australian 12-yearolds have their own smartphone, and on average they were aged seven-anda-half when they got their first. The statistics come from a recent survey of 1033 parents by comparison site Finder. But what’s the impact of smartphone use on young people? Deakin University researcher Sharon Horwood has tried to decipher the impact on wellbeing. “Society has a history of panicking about the latest technologies and their potential effects on the young people who use them,” she told a TEDx audience in July. Dr Harwood’s research surveyed people aged 18 to 93. “It’s not just the old people worrying about the kids and their computers. We also found that problematic smartphone use was consistently higher in adults all the way through to age 40. So the idea or stereotype of the older generation worrying about or disapproving of the latest technology, didn’t seem to hold up.” – AAP

Outdoor festival Buskers by the Lake is coming to Kawana and promises music, comedy, circus stunts and a whole lot more. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

IMAGE: LIVE ON THE EDGE PHOTOGRAPHY

Festival of fun by the water Musician Nina Ward

Co-founder and event director Cindy Jensen says the move to the Sunshine Coast will allow the festival to embrace its craziness, boldness and uniqueness to the fullest and facilitate future expansion on a global scale. “Buskers by the Lake remains a grassroots festival at heart – there’s no bright lights or stadium-sized stages, just the purpose and passion to provide the opportunity for anyone to perform, no matter their ability,” she says. “Audiences can expect an outstanding mix of amazing performances at Buskers by the Lake as the quality of the talent this year will be truly mind-blowing. We’ve got a dancing dog, contortionists, comedians,

alented buskers and performers are set to showcase their skills at a “bold and crazy” grassroots festival that has turned everyday singers into international stars. Buskers by the Lake 2021, formerly known as Buskers by the Creek, is coming to Lake Kawana in October, bringing with it an international reputation (past performers include Australian singer/ songwriter Tones And I). The event debuted on the Gold Coast in 2014, and in six successful years thousands of festival-goers have enjoyed a unique program of music, comedy, dance, street theatre, magic acts, circus stunts and sideshow performances.

musicians, a human fish, an acrobatic archer and a rola-bola hand-balancing circus performer to name just a few. And our floating skateboard ramp is another extremely popular spectacle that wows our crowds.” The two-day festival will be important for more than 300 performers devastated by the affects of the pandemic on the music industry. Ms Jensen says there has been an influx of artist applications and interest for the event, which this year will have a Loveland theme. “COVID restrictions mean many artists who would typically be touring around the world are at home in Australia,

so we’ve been inundated with enquiries,” she says. “Through the talent communication process, I’ve heard harrowing stories of loss and despair and it makes my heart sing to hear how our event has brought hope and happiness to many. “We can’t wait to band our creative community together once again, bring back the love and celebrate culture, the arts and community spirit.” The Buskers by the Lake 2021 program highlights include Battle of the Buskers, a peer-assessed competition to find Australia’s best busking talent, which kicks off the festival on October 29. Previous Battle of the Buskers winners include Tones And I in 2018, as well as 2016 winners Salt and Steel, who have gone on to play music festivals such as Bluesfest and Airlie Beach Music Festival. A highlight of this year’s festival will include the Freaks and Beats sideshow events and the signature floating half-pipe on the lake, showcasing an array of Australian professional BMX and skateboarders.

Buskers by the Lake 2021 is from October 30 to 31. For more information or for artist applications visit buskersbythelake.com.au.

A frightfully good reaction Sunshine Coast director Chris Sun’s latest movie is a horror film starring John Jarratt, and local fans just can’t wait to get their hands on tickets to the show. WORDS: Shirley Sinclair.

unshine Coast director Chris Sun knows first-hand how passionate horror film enthusiasts can be. News of the Halloween weekend Australian premiere of his latest film The Possessed crashed the ticketing website as fans rushed to secure the first VIP packages. The initial 100 VIP tickets to the red carpet-gala event at Birtinya’s NightQuarter on Saturday, October 30 sold in “a couple of hours”. Mr Sun – with director, producer, casting and writing credits on his fifth feature film – told followers on The Possessed Facebook page on August 14: “Last night The Possessed actually possessed the Moshtix website, crashing it a couple of times. People couldn’t get in. It was a little demonic there for a while but it came good. Then I wake up this morning to find out that you amazing folk had purchased all the first wave of VIP tickets last night. That’s so amazing. Thank you so much.”

One of the film’s producers and Mr Sun’s partner, Chrissy Hulsby, says ticket sales are “100 times better than I thought it was going to go” and she is keen for fans to celebrate Halloween in such a special way. More ticket releases are planned. Food Focus Australia director Michelle Christoe says her company, which supports the arts through its NightQuarter and nearby Malt Shovel Taphouse, is excited about The Possessed premiere. “We always love to wow everyone so feel we are the perfect match,” she says. Mr Sun says the event launch also “went number one trending on Instagram in Australia”. The Possessed is an intense horror thriller centring on Jacob Chandler – an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift. Celebrated Australian actor John Jarratt of Wolf Creek, McLeod’s Daughters and Picnic at Hanging Rock fame, stars in the lead role. An “accidental exorcist”, Jacob and his nephew Liam (Lincoln Lewis) have forged

a career clearing demons from the bodies of their clients. But lately, possessions appear to be increasing. When his path crosses with Liam’s new girlfriend Atalie Carlisle (Lauren Grimson), he realises she can also see the damned. At a hauntingly beautiful homestead with a tragic past, Jacob must call upon all his experience and Atalie’s untrained powers to keep those he loves safe from the wrath of unspeakable evil. “There’s lots of demons and action and all that sort of stuff. I wanted to do something different,” Mr Sun says while seated in the downstairs creative space of his Buderim home, surrounded by inspirational posters of John Carpenter’s Vampires, Tod Browning’s Dracula, The Amityville Horror, The Exorcist and Boris Karloff in The Mummy. Mr Jarratt’s character is based on a former Maleny man Mr Sun recently filmed for his first reality TV series The Darkside Downunder: 12 episodes that look at Australia’s notorious folklore stories,

hauntings and paranormal encounters. “We travelled around Australia and we filmed drag queens hunting for ghosts and Big Foot and all sorts of stuff,” Mr Sun says. “We met this guy. His name at the time was Charlie X and he did these exorcisms or clearings. He walks around in Hawaiian shirts and shorts and you would not expect this guy to be playing around with the demonic entities. “Everybody thinks that possession is your head spinning, demons and stuff like that. This is people with depression, drug addicts. Instead of them going to rehab and all these kinds of places, he performs clearings.” Mr Sun says Charlie X, now in his sixties, has been performing the “clearings” for about 20 years. A horror fan since he first watched the cult classic The Evil Dead, Mr Sun tells My Weekly Preview he has never been “spooked” in real life or felt scared watching a movie. But he did come close once. “I remember Mum and Dad had The Exorcist and they wouldn’t let us watch it. “We snuck outside. My brother is actually tougher than me – but not on that night. We were looking through the window of the house. Mum and Dad were watching it. Here I am loving this movie. “I will admit, though, there was one moment of the movie that did make me uncomfortable. And still today, it maybe freaks me out a little bit. It’s the thing with the white eyes. It’s a scene in the movie where the girl’s up in the hallway sitting down and she’s going ‘we’re gonna get you’. “Still to this day, I’ve got this cool fascination with white eyes on ghosts. I think it’s kind of cool and scary.”

The Possessed will premiere at NightQuarter on October 31. Visit facebook.com/thepossessedmovie

PUTTING KIDS FIRST On the 30th anniversary of Child Protection Week, advocates warn a shift is needed to halt escalating rates of neglect and abuse.

his week marks the 30th anniversary of Child Protection Week (CPW) and Sunshine Coast residents are being urged to make child safety their business. Minister for Child Safety, Youth and Women Di Farmer says much has changed since CPW began in Australia. “Over the last three decades, we’ve also seen a tremendous shift in community attitudes to the safety of young Queenslanders. Where previously it was hidden behind closed doors, child safety and the protection of children is now everybody’s business. Whether it’s offering support to parents under pressure or joining an online lesson with the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, there’s something we can all do to protect at-risk children.” However, advocates warn that Australia’s approach to child protection is irretrievably broken and a radical shift is needed to halt escalating rates of neglect and abuse. Save the Children Australia says kids are no better protected than they were in 2009 when governments committed to a shared, long-term framework to safeguard the youngest Australians. That framework is due to expire and must not be replaced with something equally ineffective,

executive director Matt Gardiner warns. “What we need is a system designed for a contemporary Australia. One that actually protects children and gives them the chance at life with their parents who are supported and resources to care for them.” He says the system does not intervene early enough to address risk factors such as poverty. Natalie Siegel-Brown is the managing director of Child Wise, which works to prevent child abuse and exploitation. She says the views of children are never involved in the drafting of policies that will directly affect their lives. “Instead of seeing children as subordinate and incapable of having any agency in their own lives we need a system that is about centring children’s rights. Giving them a voice is pivotal to that. This will make children safer.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP: • Speak up if you see something that is not safe for children • Talk respectfully with children and value and act on their ideas • Create places where children feel safe to live, play and learn. To learn more visit childprotectionweek.org.au or napcan.org.au. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation has a great range of resources available, visit danielmorcombe.com.au.

popular items is the dark chocolate and tahini cookie. “I make a handmade puff pastry with wholegrain flour, quiches and sausage rolls, keeping a really rustic, homemade, wholesome feeling to all the products.” Born in North West England, Mr Craddock has been a chef for 15 years, spending the past decade based in France and Switzerland, where he fermented his own love of traditional baking. “There is a culture over there, especially in France, with all the little boulangeries and bakeries,” he says. “It’s quite a nice part of their culture and I wanted to replicate

that with a small-time bakery supplying to local people freshly made bread every day.” The bakery is a joint venture between Mr Craddock and his partner Anna Gunnel, who works as a physiotherapist. The couple has a community and knows their customers by name. “People these days really want to know who’s making their food,” Mr Craddock says. “Customers can come in and speak to me and they can see me making the bread right in front of them. I know who I’m selling the food to and that’s a really nice connection.” Be Nourished Community Bakery sources ethically and sustainably grown organic grain and other ingredients from small producers to create its range of products, including traditional sourdough. “Sourdough is a bit of a mysterious thing really, it is a bit of an art form. It’s a very traditional way of making bread. You start with three ingredients – water, flour and little bit of salt – and 24 hours later you get a beautiful golden-brown loaf of bread.” In the 18 months since opening, Mr Craddock says the business is slowly growing in a way that aligns with the couple’s community focus. “We are keeping it small,” he says. “Our mission is to provide to the local community, not to grow and expand beyond our means. We want to keep it sustainable and provide some integrity and good-quality products to people.” To minimise packaging, the bakery uses chocolate boxes, milk cartons and flour bags for its tasty goodies and offers an online ordering system for made-to-order bread, which can be picked up in store. The bakery is open from 8am to 11.30am on Wednesday and from 8am to midday on Saturday. For more, see be-nourished-wholefoods.com.

SCHOOL PEN PAL CLUB A new pen pal club at Matthew Flinders Anglican College is connecting students and the elderly to combat loneliness and social isolation caused by the pandemic. College chaplain Reverend Kathrin Koning is working with 15 students from Year one to six who joined the club as part of the school’s Find My Spark program. “We know that many residents in aged-care centres are missing having regular visitors and socialising in the community due to coronavirus restrictions,” Rev Koning says. “Through our Flinders Pen Pal Club, our students have discovered they can help to make a positive impact in the community by softening the sense of loneliness that people might be experiencing.” Year three student Hannah Walker decided to join the club, but didn’t know who she was writing to at first. “So I wrote, ‘Dear Friend’, and asked lots of questions about my new pen pal,” she says. Since then, Hannah and pen pal Joan have exchanged many letters and cards. Hannah takes great pride in keeping all of the letters she receives from Joan, and glues them into a beautiful journal. To learn more about the Flinders Primary Pen Pal Club, or contribute, email Rev’d Koning at kkoning@mfac.edu.au.

superman was raised by foster parents...

are you ready to raise the next Dr Libby Swanepoel with Suncoast Christian College Year 12 students

SUNCOAST STUDENTS INSPIRED BY SCIENCE Suncoast Christian College students have sampled the science of seaweed as a food source as part of National Science Week, which was held from August 14 to 22. Wanting to inspire younger students to explore sciences, a group of Year 12 STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students invited University of the Sunshine Coast nutrition and dietetics senior lecturer Libby Swanepoel to the college. “I heard earlier in the year about how cows were being fed seaweed to reduce methane production,” Year 12 student Annaleese Kastrissios-Stewart says. “It seemed to be one of those creative solutions to an ongoing problem and we

thought that was an interesting avenue to pursue. We thought that having a USC researcher come in to talk about the real-life applications of science would be something that would really inspire everyone.” Dr Swanepoel says seaweed has increasingly become a topic of interest due to its nutritional, cultural and economic benefits. “Seaweed may not be something we considered 20 years ago as a food, but it’s pretty normal for even a little child to be gnawing on a sushi roll these days,” Dr Swanepoel says. “As a crop, seaweed only needs the ocean and the sun to grow, and it is full of nutrients and minerals.”

Beachtree Distilling Co founders Steve Grace and Kirra Daley are introducing new tastes in gin and vodka to Caloundra

SPIRITED BUSINESS OPENS Years of effort perfecting unique gins and vodkas has finally paid off for young Caloundra couple Steve Grace and Kirra Daley, who have opened the doors to the area’s first small-batch distillery. Beachtree Distilling Co offers a range of Australian-themed gins and vodkas that have been masterfully crafted on

site using unique recipes, infused with native botanicals and distilled using organically grown sugarcane and filtered rainwater. “Beachtree started as an opportunity for Steve, our head distiller, to combine his love of engineering with my passion for freshly grown produce to create

premium craft spirits,” Ms Daley says. “Now, after two years of planning, we are thrilled to be opening our doors to the local community, but there is so much more to come.” The couple has huge plans for the venue as their dream business expands, including a boutique tasting room, corporate conference spaces and other surprises. “Fuelled by a love for this country, we believe you can enjoy all the good things in life: a morning surf, followed by refreshing spirits from the land,” Mr Grace says. “Soon, tours will be available to the community, along with a variety of other unique experiences.” Beachtree Distilling uses organic, pesticide-free and sustainably harvested sugarcane as the base of the spirit, rather than wheat and grains, which allows their products to be naturally gluten-free. “We believe this is kinder to your body and the land and creates a cleaner, crisper spirit,” Mr Grace says. Beachtree Distilling Co, at 14 Industrial Avenue, Caloundra West, is open to the public for tastings and bottle sales from Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 6pm, with seating to be available soon.

AURA GRANTS OPEN The third round of Stockland’s Aura Community Grants Program is now open for not-for-profit groups and community organisations delivering services in the Caloundra region. The grants can be used for either a one-off project or to deliver an ongoing service, with more than $590,000 gifted to community organisations over the past four years. Organisations are encouraged to apply before September 17. Stockland project director Josh Sondergeld says the program aims to support local interest groups, parent groups, sports clubs and community associations that make up the heart and soul of the Caloundra region. “The first two rounds of the program received an outstanding response, with a wide range of extremely worthy local organisations benefiting from some much-needed funds, and we’re proud to once again support these groups,” he says. “The program will see up to $10 million of funding delivered to local organisations throughout the duration of Aura’s construction.” Applicants need to demonstrate how their program or service delivers outcomes for the local community and can apply at stocklandaura.good2givegrants.org.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT In the most ordinary moment can lie the magic. I’m not talking about the flashes preceding an accident or that phone call that turned our world upside down. I mean that unremarkable moment on a seemingly ordinary day when the mundane routine of life is turned upside down by a chance encounter. Such as the moment when an interesting-looking fellow sauntered towards the donga behind Nambour Hospital, which was the Wishlist office for 16 years, on a particularly warm summer afternoon in 2008. It struck me that he looked a little out of place (and hot) in his crocodile skin shoes and long pants among the casually dressed team at the Stores dock, and I recall that his casual

confidence caught me off guard. Little was I to know that this, just another meeting in a busy calendar, would bring a lifechanging relationship – my partner Tony – and my young girl gaining a dad. That’s at least three lives changed forever. Not much later a seemingly frail older gentleman walked through the doors of the Wishlist donga, looking a little shellshocked from what was later revealed to have been the loss of his beloved wife, from illness. As this gentleman recounted details of the tragedy that brought him into our world he broke down often and explained that, born from gratitude for the wonderful care his wife had received at a number of local hospitals, he was determined to give back. He has done so, on his pension, for 11 years since. He lives contentedly and frugally, helping his neighbours and maintaining the garden in his unit block, all the while tucking little bits away for the charities he favours. With Wishlist alone he has raised more than $10,500 to enhance local health services in a very real way. He has also become a very dear friend and I praise the day he came into my life. That ordinary day.

Traditional Owners’ knowledge and care for country through fire management was showcased at this cultural burning workshop held on Kabi Kabi Country. Representatives from Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Traditional Owners, Sunshine Coast Council fire crew, and Indigenous fire rangers from across southeast Queensland attended the workshop facilitated by the National Indigenous Firesticks Alliance. The cultural burn is a significant milestone for reconciliation and sustainable land management. This project was jointly funded by council’s operational bushland

MY OPINION

PLASTIC NOT SO FANTASTIC

TAKE A CHILL PILL

Jane Stephens applauds Queensland’s ban on single-use plastics, but says we still have a long way to go in phasing more plastic out.

Ashley Robinson gets blasted by an aggressive driver without knowing why and says it’s time everyone chills out on the roads.

here are times when we should feel rightly proud of ourselves. The start of this month was a line in the sand of time, the mark from which we took a big step forward in shaking our plastic addiction. The supply of something seemingly innocuous but devastating for the environment – single-use plastic straws, stirrers, plates, bowls, cutlery and expanded polystyrene takeaway food containers and cups – is now banned in Queensland. People power drove the government into action; that, common sense and a waste problem bigger than Ben Hur. Habits are hard to break and we are doing a mighty job at finding alternatives to plastic and getting used to reusing. Three years ago, plastic shopping bags got the heave-ho and remember the kerfuffle that initially caused? Millions of the suckers used to be in circulation yearly in Queensland, so living without them took a bit of getting used to. But we got there. Moves away from plastic are good for our land, ocean, food cycle and health. The World Wildlife Fund tells us that on average, Australians still use 130 kilograms of plastic per person each year and only a

smidgen of that is eventually recycled Perhaps more concerning, they say up to 130,000 tonnes of that plastic will find its way into our waterways and the ocean. So much of it is of a kind that never biodegrades. We are on the brink of there being more plastic in the ocean than fish and 70 per cent of that is said to be the single-use kind. So, while any move from disposable plastic utensils and the like is excellent news, there is still more to be done. There are still the rolls of flimsy plastic bags available in the supermarket fruit and veg aisles. There is still a row of plastic bags of all sizes for sale and slabs of those single-use environmental destroyers, plastic water bottles. Australians have shown themselves to be such good recyclers that the industries handling the returned waste are flooded and unable to keep up. We get gold stars and this month’s ban is another step forward in living lighter and doing less harm. Where plastic is concerned, we have to approach our consumption knowing there is no real recycle or reuse. There is only reject. Nothing about plastic is truly fantastic.

Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

saw a YouTube video of a guy pretending to go for his licence and he was on about the fact that if a driver on a test doesn’t give a thank you wave when they are let into a line of traffic by another motorist they should fail the test. It was pretty funny actually and in my opinion, correct. How hard is it to thank someone? On the other hand it certainly shouldn’t be that hard to let people into a line or lane, but it seems not many agree with me when you are out on the road. Everyone is in a mad rush to get where they are going and quite mercenary about giving up any bitumen to another driver. I should clear a couple of things up before I go on; I am not a great driver. Years ago, I did a celebrity cart race (D-grade celeb at best) at the Big Kart Track and I came last; not just last, but a half a lap behind second last. I also get confused at the roundabouts that have stop lights. So I am probably not qualified to comment on others’ driving ability, but I do notice how hectic it is on the roads. I thought with COVID that maybe we had learnt to share and care more, but it seems just like the toilet paper issue, everyone

seems far more mercenary about themselves. Just this week I was driving to pick up my grandson from school. I was changing lanes, indicated, looked, thought it was clear and proceeded and got blasted by a horn. Now I never saw the tradie in that lane. Either he was in my blind spot or he accelerated before he blew the horn as some do, but whatever – I totally accepted I had done the wrong thing. I waved an apology. He eventually passed me and looked totally disgusted so at the next set of lights, I asked him to put his window down which he did. I apologised, but he wasn’t having any of it and told me I was a di**head (very observant man). Just minutes later, an ambulance with sirens blaring came up behind us and we all had to mount the curb together, which I thought was ironic and huge reminder that we were all probably better off than what we thought. We shouldn’t be in such a rush unless we are an essential service and we all should look out for each other. Even if we do run across the occasional di**head – and I should know.

MY OPINION

STONEFISH SUFFERING Sami Muirhead tells a harrowing tale of a man who stepped on a stonefish and was saved by his seven-year-old son.

ittle Oscar Clack just could be the Coast’s youngest hero. The seven-year-old ran a kilometre for help after his dad stood on a stonefish at the Spit end of Mooloolaba. Wayne and Oscar had been swimming in the sheltered cove when the dad of four knew straight away he had stood on the potentially deadly stonefish. “I mean, I don’t know what childbirth is like when it comes to pain, but I think the level of pain is pretty similar,” the pilot joked to me with a twinkle in his eye. Oh, Wayne! Nothing ever beats the pain of childbirth. That’s a rule you blokes all need to know. You could bang your hand in the car door repeatedly and then have a herd of elephants run over it and it would be nothing compared to the pain of bearing an actual human. Anyway, I guess you were confused with all that venom in your system and I admit I have read that the pain from standing on a stonefish is also extreme. A stonefish has 13 dorsal spines. Each one is basically a hypodermic needle waiting for a victim’s body weight to tread on it. It is still nothing compared to giving birth to a watermelon, but a sting can cause severe pain and swelling and kills tissues, as it

stops your arms and legs from functioning and puts your body into shock. That is what happened to Wayne as he collapsed on the shoreline and told Oscar to run to the lifeguard tower a long way off and tell them Daddy was in trouble. Oscar made a speedy beeline for the tower and came back with enforcements in the beach quad, as the anxious team waited for the ambulance to arrive. Wayne was gifted the green whistle for his pain. There is no greater whistle in life. The green whistle should be knighted by the Queen for its endless acts of kindness when we come a cropper. The Buderim man spent the night in hospital still in pain as the venom worked its evil inside his body. Wayne turned 50 the same week. He also just beat a life-threatening illness. He is also dealing with COVID robbing him of his international pilot’s job. That’s a lot for any human to take. And I have never heard him complain. “Other people are doing it much worse than our family, so we are really lucky,” he told me. Wayne, you are a total legend! And now you have this cool story to tell everyone – that you cheated death and experienced pain nearly as bad as childbirth.

Sandy Zubrinich, Kris Carver and Bridget Murphy

NEW ADVOCACY GROUP FOR ICT INDUSTRY LAUNCHED Last week the Sunshine Coast information and communications technology (ICT) industry celebrated the establishment of a regional industry group to drive growth in a sector that has seen the Sunshine Coast lag significantly behind national and international growth rates. Sunshine Coast Business Council (SCBC) Chair Sandy Zubrinich says the new industry group was created as a result of more than 24 months of planning and support from local councils, educational institutions and private enterprise, who all

acknowledged the need for strong leadership to drive sector growth. “Whilst the number of ICT jobs in Australia has been growing faster than many other sectors over the past five years, this trend has not been reflected here on the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Zubrinich says. “This was one of the primary reasons the SCBC decided to focus on this industry two years ago, following the launch of one of the region’s most significant pieces of communications infrastructure, the international broadband submarine cable

into Maroochydore. This cable gives us the fastest international connection point from Queensland and east Australia to Asia and a competitive advantage for the moment. “This coupled with a number of successful ICT businesses located here on the Coast — some who deliver world-class services across Australia and internationally in partnership with some of the most recognisable global brands — positions us well to drive sector growth and create more ICT jobs and careers in the region. “However, let’s be very clear, the only way we will achieve this growth is if all tiers of government and the business community commit to prioritising our local providers when awarding ICT contracts. We have much of the capability in the region, so the industry group’s priority will be to advocate for a ‘buy local’ approach when it comes to ICT services.” Chair of the newly established group and Entag CEO Kris Carver, says the industry group will be tasked with providing thought leadership on future technology requirements and achieving above-organic growth rates in the ICT sector, creating new jobs to both attract qualified and experienced operators and retaining ICT graduates in the region. “Our priority as a group is to strengthen our region’s credibility as a provider of professional ICT services,” Mr Carver says.

“We have numerous organisations leading the way from a technology point of view, so our ability to consolidate and ensure their stories are heard is critical. “We really want to put the Sunshine Coast on the map as a region that not only provides quality ICT solutions, but also ensures we are forward thinking, building our own local talent and attracting some of the best in our profession.” Ms Zubrinich says the announcement would not have been possible without the support of the board of the Sunshine Coast Business Council as well as several regional entities who contributed funding and support for the initiative. At its first meeting, the group voted on the inaugural committee of nine members, with Mr Carver appointed as chair. Other committee members include James Blackmore, Legal Business Partner Telstra; Jason Garland, Director Secure Access; Raleen Kaesehagen, representing Peregian Digital Hub; Dr. Simon Kaplan, CEO The Urban Institute; Angela Lisle, Faculty Director TAFE Qld East Coast; Dr. Rania Shibl, Deputy Head of School (Science, Technology & Engineering) USC; Richard Turnbull, Director Legion Telecom; and Robb Webb, Owner Absolute IT. Bridget Murphy who is the SCBC Treasurer will be a non-voting member of the Committee for the first 12 months.

NEW FINANCIAL YEAR – 5 REASONS WHY IT’S TIME FOR A NEW HOME LOAN As a homeowner, you’ve worked hard to get your home and you make sure you look after it. Sometimes it’s easy to sit back and not care about your home loan in the same way we look after our actual home. Don’t forget about your home loan’s health. It deserves to be taken care of too. In the constantly changing and competitive home loan market, there is always a better deal waiting for you. Uniq finance consultant Matt Simpson shares the following tips: 1. Most people don’t know their own home loan – This is your largest and most important investment so you need a home loan that suits you. • Do you know the interest rate on your home loan? • Do you know the features of your loan? • Can you make extra repayments? • Can you draw on those extra repayments at any time? • What fees are you paying on your home loan? Most people don’t know the answers to these questions. Generally, you can get a much better rate than what currently you have by refinancing and right now,

several lenders are offering cash back bonuses of up to $3000 as well. 2. Save money and increase cashflow – This is what we all want right? Apart from just getting a lower interest rate on your home loan, there are other ways to save yourself some cash and increase cash flow. You work hard and have been paying your home off, but other debts have accumulated. Rather than pay huge interest on credit cards, car and other loans, use the equity you have created in your home and refinance these debts into one loan, with one repayment. Most homeowners who take this option save many thousands of dollars per year. 3. Your equity could significantly increase your wealth and improve your lifestyle – If you have some unused equity due to the increased value of your home, did you know it could be used to purchase an investment property, invest in shares or consolidate debt to lower your overall repayments? 4. The banks won’t do it for you – Does your bank offer health checks on your loan? Too often I see people ‘set and forget’ their home loans with their old, trusted bank and end up paying up to double the interest rate they should be paying. As your mortgage broker, we have

“You can get a much better rate than what you currently have by refinancing” Matt Simpson, Uniq

access to the ever-expanding home loan market and can find the best home loan to suit your individual needs. Our commitment to our clients is that you will feel more informed and have a better understanding of your current financial position after working with us on your obligation-free, home loan health check. The fact that you have banked with your home loan lender since you were a

kid unfortunately means nothing these days. It’s up to you to get the best home loan for you. 5. You deserve a better home loan – Do you deserve a better home loan? Of course you do, so take advantage of the options available to you and start saving cash right now. After 27 years of working in the police force I understand the constraints of managing family, career and finances. Over the past four years while transitioning from the police force into a second career as a mortgage broker, I have witnessed the amazing surge in property prices Australia wide. Since July last year the average Australian house price has increased 13.5 per cent, while Sunshine Coast house prices have risen by 23.1 per cent according to the latest Domain House Price Report. While it’s nice just to know the value you may be sitting on, you could really be taking advantage of these higher values to improve your personal financial position. We can do a simple home loan health check for you and work out if you can get some of that ‘lazy’ equity working for you. The possibilities and opportunities will surprise you.

BU S I N ESS E X PERTS

What is family violence? Sadly, the issue of domestic/family violence continues to impact families in our community and remains a leading topic of news and social media. The Family Law Act 1975 describes family violence as “violent, threatening or other behaviour that coerces or controls a member of a person’s family, or causes the family member to be fearful”. Examples of family violence may include an assault, stalking, ongoing derogatory taunts, damage to property, unreasonably denying financial autonomy or financial support, depriving a family member of connection with their extended family, friends or culture or depriving the family member of their liberty. What can coercive control look like? Some behaviours are more easily identifiable than others and picking up and being aware of the subtleties of coercive control can be difficult. Examples of coercive control can include an expectation to constantly “check in” with a partner or spouse, close monitoring of social media platforms, the use of apps to monitor movements and an ongoing obligation to explain your movements and/or financial, friendship or employment choices. If you are experiencing family violence, protections can be sought under Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) and the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 (Qld).

The uncertainties of death This is the first in our series of articles on the uncertainties of death and busting some common Estate Planning myths. Myth – If I pass away without a Will “everything just goes to my spouse, right?” Wrong! If you die without a Will, you die ‘intestate’. This means that your estate is then distributed under the Rules of Intestacy. These rules essentially provide an inflexible ‘formula’ for the distribution of your estate. Depending on your family situation, the range of beneficiaries can include your spouse, children, parents and more remote family members. The formula that applies to distributing your estate might not be appropriate or might not be what you intend – especially if you have a blended family. People are often surprised to learn who does and who does not benefit under the rules. For example, stepchildren do not receive any benefit. The simple step of properly preparing your Will and Estate Plan eliminates any uncertainty and ensures the people you want to benefit receive your estate in the proportions you intend.

WORKING FROM HOME? STAY CYBER SAFE Despite relaxed COVID restrictions in many parts of the country, Queensland included, more Australians are taking up the option to work from home, according to a report from the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS). The Families in Australia Survey: Towards COVID Normal found that among the employed survey respondents, 67 per cent were sometimes or always working from home, compared to 42 per cent pre-COVID. However, working from home has led to growth in digital fraud, according to IT firm Citadel Group. Here are some tips to improve cybersecurity when working from home. • Use strong and unique passwords (16-plus characters) • Don’t use the same password for different websites or internet banking • Download a password-safe solution, such as LastPass • Protect all devices with an anti-malware solution • Use multi-factor authentication, such as a password or biometric in combination with a one-time code • Use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) • Keep software and operating systems updated and select automatic updates when possible • Backup data regularly. PERSONAL SECURITY TIPS • Exercise critical thinking and vigilance when responding to phone calls, messages and emails. • Exercise caution in opening messages, attachments, or clicking on links from unknown senders • Be wary of any requests for personal details, passwords or bank details, particularly if the message conveys a sense of urgency • If in any doubt of the communicator’s identity, delay any immediate action, and re-establish communication later using contact methods you have sourced yourself. myweeklypreview.com.au

TO IT

With the weather warming and the season changing, now is a great time to get to work on creating your own piece of paradise at home.

REST AND RELAX Numerous studies have shown that spending time outdoors is not only good for our physical health, but also for our mental wellbeing. The key is to surround yourself with a combination of natural elements such as grass, plantings, birdlife, water and raw materials, as well as elements that provide comfort and inspiration, including artwork, cushions with a pop of colour, or a piece of furniture that you love. The Chelsea four-piece lounge setting (pictured) is a favourite of ours for creating a relaxed yet elegant retreat for an afternoon coffee or family brunch. The setting comprises a three-seater lounge, two armchairs, five bolster cushions and a coffee table. It’s from Domayne, Maroochydore Homemaker Centre.

Spring plantings Garden design expert and celebrated horticulturalist Matt Leacy, co-founder and lead designer of the award-winning Landart Landscapes, says spring is a great time to sow new seeds and plant cuttings. “Plenty of different plant types can be given life, and moderate weather conditions usually allow new plantings to find their feet before the hot summer sun comes into full force,’’ he says.

LOVE YOUR LAWN Spring is a time to pay extra attention to your plants and lawn. Your plants will require extra feeding as they bloom and grow, while your lawn will benefit from specialised high-nitrogen fertiliser. Be sure to talk to your local nursery or lawn expert before using the fertiliser to make sure you know how best it is used, and also how to use it safely.

“With the heat that we know is coming in mind, if you’re looking to establish new plants in the garden, you’d be smart to consider water-wise options. This means working with plants that are hardy and sun-tolerant, and require minimal watering.” Matt Leacy’s water-wise plant suggestions: Agave, dragon trees, tree aloes, succulents including crassula, carpobrotus, aloes, senecio, sempervivums and sedums.

tip The experts at Sunshine Mitre 10 recommend transferring plants or even seedlings from pots and punnets to your garden bed during spring with a little care. Always moisten the roots and soil completely before planting, and wait until evening to plant them. Increasing moisture and avoiding the hot parts of the day help reduce plant shock.

THE PALETTE Dulux describes Wonder as “a palette of unbridled joy”, featuring light pastels and playful, summery hues such as cornflower blue, lilac, lemon, green quartz and rose gold. Together, they evoke a cheerful and optimistic feel with a clear message: better days lie ahead. Combinations highlight the whimsical nature of this look; think quaint florals with eclectic colours and checks paired with sleek, contemporary furniture; needlepoint cushions and fluted glass; or woven rattan furniture set against a wall of candy stripes. Furniture is sustainably sourced or made from recycled materials, underpinning the belief that we all share the wonders of our beautiful planet with a hopeful vision.

feeling, some tropical-inspired decoration pieces, wallpapers, or faux plants will make for the ideal additions. How you incorporate the season’s aesthetic depends on various factors like your personal sense of style, trends, interior design themes, etc. However, you can also make some foolproof decisions that will brighten up every corner. Following are excellent examples of evergreen spring décor trends that you can

choose from when setting up your house to welcome your favourite season. Textures are the ‘IT’ thing for 2021 interior décor trends. However, you can always vary slightly to make things look a little different during spring. Instead of keeping the textures you chose for winter, get lighter coloured natural textures. Lighter natural textures are perfect for the season because they reflect sunlight and give the house a calming ambience.

The hottest bathroom looks from The Block

ALL IMAGES COURTESY OF CHANNEL 9

This season of Channel 9’s much-loved home renovation program is combining comfort with luxury. We take a look at some of our favourite bathroom designs. SKYLIGHTS

RAIN SHOWERS

Skylights are a great way to introduce light, and give the illusion of space, to your bathroom. They are also a great addition if you are unable to have regular windows to ensure natural light shines into the space. Pictured below is Ronnie and Georgia’s stunning bathroom. The overhead skylights provided great natural illumination to their stunning feature tiles.

Who doesn’t love a rain shower? It’s a small price to pay for a lot of luxury, and is one element proving popular in this season of The Block. We love this aged brass wide-headed shower featured in Mitch and Mark’s guest bathroom. It perfectly complements the bold tile.

COLOURED SINKS According to design experts, coloured bath fixtures and fittings in blushes, pastels and pinks are making a big comeback. The good news is that coloured concrete fittings are starting to become a little more affordable. Sinks in particular can take your bathroom from a standard, classic design to the next level of sophistication. Pictured is the pale blue sink used by contestants Kirsty and Jesse. It’s simple and yet changes the entire mood of the space.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23) Virgos are analytical creatures. This week, the sun is in your sign, so you’ll be given the opportunity to impress others with your methodical mind, multi-tasking skills and meticulous attention to detail. Don your detective cap and start solving a problem or getting to the bottom of a mystery.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23) Librans can be very gullible – especially this week. Confusion could reign supreme, as Neptune opposes the sun (in your self-sabotage zone). Personal and professional relationships are in a state of flux. So, when it comes to friends or lovers, it’s definitely time for a reality check.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22) Early in the week, you may feel confused about your future goals. Trust your instincts and don’t let someone persuade you to deviate from your chosen path. Thursday and Friday are fabulous for transforming a negative into a positive, when the sun trines Pluto (your power planet).

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21) Avoid being a superficial Sagittarius. A confusing domestic situation or an uncertain work issue requires clear thinking and deft diplomacy. Take off your bossy cap and slip on your humility hat instead! On Friday, you may worry about a relationship problem or an educational matter.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20) If you’re not careful, an unreliable relative or an acquaintance could lead you astray, so keep your realism radar on high and avoid getting caught up in dubious daydreams. You’re in for a few hard financial lessons over the next 18 months, as Saturn stirs up your money zone.

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19) Avoid taking shortcuts and jumping to dubious conclusions, Aquarius. This week, there’s much more to a situation than meets the eye. Look for the facts that are hidden beneath the surface and do all the research that is required before you approach people or proceed with projects.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20) The stars favour joint ventures and group projects, as you enjoy contributing your creative talents. Draw up a to-do list and be flexible enough to tweak it as the week develops. Expect a dramatic dummy-spit from a loved one though, as Neptune confuses communication.

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23) When it comes to your aspirations for the future, you’re full of dreams and schemes – but avoid letting blind optimism lead you up the primrose path to trouble.

WORD STEP: CRAVE, CRANE, CRANK, FRANK, FLANK, FLUNK

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21) The focus is on firm friendships – how to find them, nurture them and keep them. It’s also time to distance yourself from a friend who doesn’t have your best interests at heart. There’s no room in your peer group for someone who is jealous of your talents and achievements.

ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20) This week, Mars (your power planet) marches into Libra, in your relationship zone. So when it comes to partnerships, it’s time to be passionately proactive. You’re also feeling creative, but make sure you can differentiate between fact and fiction.

PROPERTY

TAKE CARE WITH YOUR E-COMMS Property contracts are no longer exclusively signed using wet ink on paper – which can present problems. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

n this property market where FOMO is impacting on buyer decisions, the way email and text messages are written when negotiating a property deal might be enough to create a binding agreement. Recently in the New South Wales Supreme Court a buyer tried to argue that a text message from a property owner amounted to a binding contract. The claim was unsuccessful but what was particularly interesting is the court focussed on the failure of the seller to meet the requirement under the New South Wales Conveyancing Act that a contract must be signed. In this case the seller had not signed their text message. Pacific Law’s property expert David Netherton says conveyancing law is only now catching up with the use of electronic signatures and agreements. “In the past, property contracts were signed by parties using wet ink, but with lockdowns and technology advancements, it is now common for contracts to be signed with electronic signatures via programs like DocuSign,” Mr Netherton says. These programs generally include a

verification of identification process whereby a person must first answer a series of questions and provide information that verifies their identity. What is under scrutiny is whether an email or text signed by a party could now constitute a property contract. Mr Netherton says what can’t be forgotten in any negotiation is the basics of a contract which are offer, acceptance and consideration. The contract needs to be in writing to purchase property and it needs to include enough detail on the material terms such as price, parties and settlement date, and

that both parties must agree to those terms. If all these items are present and the text or email was signed by a party, it could now be deemed to be binding. “So, please be careful,” Mr Netherton says. In the New South Wales case it was only the lack of a signature on the text message that stopped it being binding. When it comes to determining whether putting your name at the end of a text message constitutes a signature or whether an automatic sign-off on an email is enough to bind you to an agreement, Mr Netherton’s advice is simple. “Don’t risk it,” he says.

“This simple statement might save you from a very messy legal fight…” David Netherton

“If you don’t want to be bound by a text or email, include a very clear statement that you don’t intend to be bound by the correspondence. “This simple statement might save you from a very messy legal fight in the future.”

JAPAN OVERCOME STEELERS TO WIN WHEELCHAIR RUGBY BRONZE Japan have torched Australia 60-52 in their Paralympics wheelchair rugby bronze medal match. The Steelers were again a shadow of the team that won the last two Paralympic gold medals. They finish without a Games medal for the first time since 2004.

had a quiet night compared to his performances in previous matches during the Games but still managed six tries in five and a half minutes of play. Captain Ryley Batt again led the way with a game-high 27 tries, but otherwise the Australians were no match for their arch-rivals. While Australia came into the Paralympics with gold medal expectations, they lost key player Michael Ozanne to illness during the tournament and won only one of their three pool games. The United States beat Australia convincingly in Saturday’s semi-final. Australia briefly hit the front in the first term, but Japan repeated the pattern of their pool match by quickly taking control. The Steelers were five down at halftime and trailed by as much as 10. The United States, who are threetime Paralympic champions, were defeated by underdogs Great Britain for the gold medal. – AAP

her and that was certainly felt in her time at Lightning. “Phumi has absolutely come out of her shell and grown in confidence since joining the Club and as a Coach that is so rewarding to see. “Her combination with Karla continued to build year on year and we can’t wait to watch that connection continue to develop in the upcoming international series next month. “We appreciate everything Peace and Phumi have sacrificed to relocate to the Sunshine Coast and become part of the Lightning family over the past three seasons – especially given the added impacts of living abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic. “As a Club, we wish them both the absolute best as they explore new and exciting opportunities.” It has been confirmed Maweni will compete with the South African side in an international series in October against Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. – Sunshine Coast Lightning

ormer USC Spartan Ellie Cole was awarded her 16th Paralympic swimming medal in unusual circumstances in Tokyo. The medal ceremony for the 4x100m freestyle race was postponed to allow for protests to be heard from the United States and Great Britain after both teams were disqualified. The disqualifications meant Italy moved from second to first with a time of 4:24.85, Australia (4:26.82) went from third to second, and Canada (4:30.40) was promoted from fifth to third. Cole, who completed a crossinstitutional degree while studying at USC, has now won as many Paralympic medals as the great Priya Cooper OAM who is a member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame. Cole’s achievements include six gold medals, five silver and five bronze from campaigns in Beijing, London, Rio and now Tokyo. Cole also finished 4th in the S9 100m backstroke final, narrowly missing out on a medal. Meanwhile, USC Spartans swimmer Ben Hance smashed the S14 100m backstroke Paralympic record. Hance, 20, completed the final in 57.73 seconds, well ahead of his nearest rivals Viacheslav Emeliantsev of Russia

Sunshine Coast Lightning has confirmed that goal shooter Peace Proscovia (pictured) and goal keeper Phumza Maweni will depart the Club later this month. The pair have been integral members of the Lightning squad since signing on to the Suncorp Super Netball team ahead of the 2019 season. Maweni played all 47 games between season 2019 to 2021 and formed a formidable combination with fellow South African representative Karla Pretorius. The 37-year-old finished the 2021 season with an impressive 23 intercepts and 54 gains, after taking more creative licence in matches this year, in addition to an impenetrable defence. Proscovia, the current Ugandan captain, has been a tall target in the Lightning shooting circle in recent seasons, working in combination with Cara Koenen and Steph Wood. Proscovia shot 670 goals in 42 games with the Club, including a career best 53 goals against West Coast Fever in Round 2, 2019. Head Coach Kylee Byrne thanked Proscovia and Maweni for their dedication and service to Lightning and for the contributions both as a player and person. “Peace has grown so much as a player since joining our Club and it’s been a pleasure to watch her develop and really become that strong target in our attack line,” Byrne says. “Anyone who has met Peace knows the profound impact she has on those around

Benjamin Hance (59.05) and Reece Dunn of Great Britain (59.97), and joyfully punched the air with both hands to celebrate his breakthrough victory. He was by far the fastest qualifier for the final after a sensational heat swim of 57.75 seconds this morning that sliced more than two seconds off the previous Paralympic record of 59.82. In both the heat and the final, Hance was only a split second off his own world record of 57.56 that he set at the Australian Swimming Trials in Adelaide earlier this year.

He will return home from the Games with gold, silver and bronze, having earned the other medals in the mixed 4x100m freestyle and the 100m butterfly respectively last week. Fellow Spartans swimmer, Ruby Storm completed her busy schedule at the Games by making the final of the S14 100m backstroke, in which she finished 8th. The 10 USC-affiliated athletes in the Australian Paralympic team won 12 medals between them. • Ben Hance – gold in S14 100m backstroke; silver in S14 mixed 4x100m freestyle; bronze in S14 100m butterfly • Alistair Donohoe – silver in C5 4km individual pursuit; bronze in road cycling time trial; 9th in team sprint qualifying • Ruby Storm – silver in S14 mixed 4x100m freestyle; bronze in S14 100m butterfly; 7th in S14 200m freestyle; 7th in S14 200m individual medley; 8th in S14 100m backstroke • Ellie Cole – silver in women’s 4x100m freestyle relay; bronze in 4x100m medley relay; 4th in S9 400m freestyle; 4th in S9 100m backstroke; 5th in S9 100m freestyle • Katja Dedekind – bronze in S13 100m backstroke; bronze in S13 400m freestyle, 4th in S13 50m freestyle • Keira Stephens – bronze in SB9 100m breaststroke; bronze in 4x100m medley relay; 9th fastest in S9 50m freestyle • Blake Cochrane – bronze in SB7 100m breaststroke • Braedan Jason – 4th in S13 400m freestyle; 5th in S12 100m freestyle • Chris Bond in Australian wheelchair rugby team that finished 4th • Hannah Dodd in Australian women’s wheelchair basketball team that finished 9th.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Conditions this weekend are going to be perfect! But sadly the swell not so much. I think if you head north you might find a few sliders. So just enjoy how great the weather is and how lucky you are to live here. Or if you have a standup paddleboard, paddle out beyond the nets and sit and wait for the whales to swim past. It is a pretty cool thing to do.

FISHING REPORT

with Steve Dingle

With some good weather the fishing offshore has been great. Out wide the northern end of the Banks and the Hards has been the best for snapper and cracker pearl perch. The inner reefs have also been good for the same plus a cobia or two have been around. The rivers are firing up with some very nice flathead and whiting and as the warmer weather rolls in it will only get better. Caloundra and Maroochy waterways have had the better reports. The beaches have gone a little quiet on the tailor front, but the whiting and dart have been in good numbers and around Wurtulla has been the best. Borumba Dam has been great for saratoga on surface lures but Summerset has been the best for bass.
