AGENDA

Calls to secure Australia’s food supply

A

ustralians are being warned that the price of food is set to rise again. That’s amid calls for a national food security plan.

The national food supply chain alliance says long-term issues, caused by ongoing natural disasters and labour shortages, will lead to further price increases in the next 12 months.

The group comprises representatives from the red meat, vegetable and seafood industries, farming federation, food distributors, restaurants, grocers, convenience stores and transport.

The alliance’s Richard Forbes says consumers can expect food prices to rise by a further seven per cent in the next 12 months if supply chain issues aren’t dealt with. “A national food security plan will bring all the pieces of the puzzle together,” he says.

He says the plan will include a national food map identifying where crop shortages could be, in the event of natural disasters, as well an audit of the national supply chain.

The alliance says recent threats, including natural disasters cutting

The chorus is growing for a national plan to ensure natural disasters and labour shortages pose no long-term threat to the availability of items on the weekly grocery list and their prices.

transport routes throughout the nation, have highlighted Australia’s food supply chain’s deficiencies.

“Once infrastructure is disrupted, food prices go up,” Mr Forbes says.

He warns that Australian consumers will pay more if a plan is not introduced.

The alliance says that is because of rising input costs, with the food supply chain experiencing a 27 per cent increase in the cost of operations over the past nine months.

“We will try and make a shorter more efficient supply chain,” it says. “We will look at all the issues that are disrupting the supply chain and we can then develop strategies to try and prepare better.

“At the moment, we are unprepared.”

Australian Association of Convenience Stores head Theo Foukkare says families are already feeling the squeeze. And he agrees an urgent plan is needed.

“Where we’ll really see it coming into effect is when we have the next natural disaster or the next pandemic,” he says.

The alliance has called for a working group to be set up and to include all

stakeholders in the food supply chain.

The group would devise a national food security plan.

The opposition has joined the calls for the government to do more, accusing Labor of failing to take meaningful action to support the food supply chain.

Deputy Leader of the Opposition Sussan Ley warns that the food supply chain is being taken for granted by the Albanese Government, and households will feel the pain this Christmas.

“Anthony Albanese is fast becoming the Grinch who stole Christmas, as Australian families are forced to cross items off from their shopping lists because they can’t afford them this holiday period,” Ms Ley says.

“The reality is, Australians will pay more for their Christmas spread because the Albanese Government hasn’t got its act together to support our food manufacturers and distributors.”

But Agriculture Minister Murray Watt defended his government’s record on fixing supply chain issues.

“As a government, we are taking action

“Once infrastructure is disrupted, food prices go up. A national food security plan will bring all the pieces of the puzzle together” Independent Food Distributors Australia CEO Richard Forbes

with targeted measures to deal with these issues, by getting more skilled people into the workforce and mitigating the impacts of natural disasters,’’ he says.

“I have also asked the House Standing Committee on Agriculture to inquire into and report on strengthening and safeguarding food security in Australia.”

The parliamentary inquiry into food security in Australia, which started in October, is investigating the impact of supply chain distribution on the cost and availability of food.

FAST FACTS

Cat mail

In the 1870s, the city of Liège, Belgium, attempted to employ 37 felines as mail carriers, according to the BBC. Messages were tucked into waterproof bags that the kitties would carry around their necks.

While one cat apparently made it to its destination in under five hours, the other felines took up to a day to complete their journeys. Since the cats weren’t particularly reliable and definitely weren’t speedy, the service didn’t last very long.

Did you know?

Do you remember?

For a century, maps have shown Sandy Island in the Pacific Ocean off Australia.

James Cook discovered it in 1774, and it began appearing on maps in 1908. It wasn’t until 2012, that Australian scientists discovered there was no island there at all. The scientists guessed that Cook may have in fact spotted a “pumice raft” of floating volcanic stone and gas.

The Bone Fone, despite its name, wasn’t a phone at all. Rather, it was a radio speaker meant to be worn around the neck like a scarf. The idea was to get sound to resonate through the wearer’s bones, simulating the feeling of listening to a high-end audio system while on-the-go. The $69.95 gadget, released in 1979, was marketed to joggers as a less bulky alternative to headphones. JS&A, the company behind the Bone Fone, claimed to have sold 10,000 units by 1981.

1919 – Nancy Langhorne also known as Nancy Astor became the first woman to join the British House of Commons.

1958 – The French colony of Ubangi-Shari, now known as the Central African Republic, gained autonomy from France. Two years later, the country became independent and adopted its current name.

2009 – The Treaty of Lisbon, which amended the two treaties – the Maastricht Treaty and the Treaty of Rome – that form the constitutional basis of the EU came into force after being signed by 13 countries in 2007.

COVER STORY

Relationship experts Allan and Barbara Pease

Spotting a date with destiny Ask the experts: understanding body language and verbal clues can help sort the first date ‘winners’ from the ‘losers’. But planning and a little research can also ensure the best-possible chance to relax, have fun and break down the barriers. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

I

t doesn’t matter what age or stage of life you’re at – the idea of dating can be as equally daunting as it is exciting. You could be looking for your first serious relationship, or rediscovering yourself after a break-up.

You could be reaching a stage where you decide it’s time to find the ‘right’ person and settle down.

Or perhaps you have found yourself looking for companionship later in life – maybe with a few children, or grandchildren, in tow.

When it comes to dating and meeting potential partners, times have certainly changed and, as modern humans, our day-to-day interactions are different.

We are increasingly connected digitally and if we are not meeting people organically, then we are searching for love online – namely, on dating apps.

Throughout the process of getting to know someone, we are constantly navigating social and personal expectations, with the age-old

10 My Weekly Preview | December 1, 2022

question at the back of our minds: “Are we officially dating?”

But before you get to that ‘official’ stage, there is one very important step you must take. Of course, it’s the very first date.

Sharing some advice and tips with My Weekly Preview, relationship author Barbara Pease agrees the world of dating has changed drastically over the decades.

Alongside husband Allan, the Peases are considered two of the world’s most successful relationship authors. They have written 18 books – including 10 number ones. Their books are bestsellers in more than 100 countries, have been translated into 55 languages and have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

Ms Pease notes the importance of having a good first date, with tips on what to do, what to avoid, and what to look out for – good and bad.

“Once upon a time, men and women’s roles were very clear: men were the lunch chaser and woman were the nest defender,” Ms Pease says.

“In evolutionary terms, not much has changed, but society has drastically changed. The rise of social media has reduced face-to-face interactions and recent studies show that younger generations have fewer connections in the brain for recognising body language

“It’s crucial to know how to interpret silent signals and use positive body language” signals than their grandparents.

“If you miss important cues on a first date, you’re unlikely to get a second chance.

“So, it’s crucial to know how to interpret silent signals and use positive body language if you’re in the dating world.”

For those wanting to meet people in

real life, Ms Pease suggests joining a sporting, social or volunteer group to help connect with like-minded individuals or using you friends as a source to meet new people.

Ms Pease says it is important to have a list of attributes you are looking for in a potential partner when meeting people.

“Always remember that you need to have a very clear list of attributes that your perfect partner would have.

“These include what they will look like and their values.”

After meeting someone who ticks your criteria on the surface, Ms Pease says there are a few points to consider when it’s time to go on a date, including how to spend it.

Ms Pease suggests keeping the date fun and light and finding out a bit about what the person likes beforehand.

“Do your research – find out their likes and dislikes, what they like to eat and what they like to do for fun,” she says.

“Consider an open-air first date to take the pressure off. myweeklypreview.com.au

28/11/2022 11:14:02 AM

COVER STORY “This could be a bike ride, hike or a picnic at the beach – anything that will get you active and help keep the conversation flowing.

“When you plan a date around an activity, you can see how the other person behaves under different circumstances.

“And it’s often better for your hip pocket than a round of drinks plus an Uber.”

When it comes to using and reading body language and knowing how to act or what to say, Ms Pease says it’s important to relax and remember it’s only a date.

“Using open body language will have a positive effect on your emotions, making you feel more relaxed and comfortable as you use open postures.

“Laughter releases endorphins that strengthen our immune system. On a subconscious level, we recognise this and are drawn to people who make us laugh.

“Have some open-ended questions ready to ask them. Remember, people love talking about themselves and they will like you more the more you listen to them and laugh at their jokes.”

Ms Pease says to also be aware of “red flags” that can present themselves early in the dating phase.

She says to look out if a person arrives late or uninterested and doesn’t appear to smile – or if they do, it looks fake.

On the other spectrum, they may overstep boundaries you are not ready for on a first date.

She says it’s also worth noting how they treat or speak about others while in your presence. That includes talking negatively about people or an ex, speaking about themselves and their own achievements, or being a ‘know it all’ – all while showing little interest in your own life.

Ms Pease says that at the end of the day, dating should be fun and a wonderful chance to meet new people.

“Remember, it’s just a date,” she says.

“Relax, open up and don’t be afraid to have fun. The more people you see, the more likely you will find the one that will be right for you.”

FUN IDEAS TO START THE CONVERSATION ROLLING

BARBARA’S TOP FIVE TIPS FOR ANYONE ON A FIRST DATE: 1. Use open body language – avoid crossing your arms and feet and keep your palms faced outward to show openness and willingness to have the interaction with the person.

2. Eye contact – give an amount of eye contact that makes everyone comfortable.

3. Nodding in agreement – This is a great persuasion tool and shows people that you are interested in what they are saying. It will encourage the other person to continue talking and you will start to feel positive feelings as well.

4. Mirror their body language – subtly mirroring the other person’s body language and speech patterns builds rapport quickly.

If you start to mirror their sitting position, posture, body angles, gestures, facial expressions and tone of voice, they’ll start to feel before long that there’s something about you they really like. Look for people who reciprocate with similar signals.

5. Smile – research shows that it’s hard-wired into the brain to recognise and respond favourably to a smile. For example, when you meet someone, if you smile at them, the brain registers that you’re not threatening, just as it is with other primates. They’ll return the smile to show that they’re not threatening either. Smiling establishes positivity and good will – a perfect way to start a new relationship.

About Barbara and Allan Pease Barbara and Allan Pease are considered two of the most successful relationship authors in the business. They have written 18 books including Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps, Why Men Don’t Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes and Why Men Want Sex and Women Need Love.

Test out some healthy competition What better way to put your date to the test than with a bit of fun and healthy competition. It’s a great way to enjoy a shared experience and give you something to talk about on future dates, too. Tenpin bowling, mini golf or trivia is always a great idea. Here on the Sunshine Coast, test your tenpin bowling skills at venues such at Strike at Maroochydore or Spinners at Caloundra and Maroochydore, or mini golf at Holey Moley Maroochydore or Maroochy River Mini Golf. For a brain teaser, check out weekly trivia nights at Your Mates Brewing Co in Warana or at Taps Mooloolaba.

Enjoy the beauty of the region The Sunshine Coast has plenty of glorious places to enjoy a walk, picnic or time on the water. Why not grab takeaway coffee and head on a stroll along one of the many coastal trails from Caloundra to Noosa.

Or if you’re both feeling adventurous, climb a mountain. Alternatively, you can pack a picnic and enjoy getting to know each other in a causal dining setting. Another great idea is to hire a stand-up paddle board or kayak and go on a discovery tour along the local waterways together. If land is more your style, hire some bikes for a cruise around town.

Show off your creative flair There are so many wonderful businesses around the region offering workshops and fun activities to get your creative juices flowing. Why not try pottery (cue Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore), candle making or a few hours at a paint and sip.

There are plenty of crafty offerings popping up around the region, including in Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Nambour and Noosa. So, search what’s in your area.

NEWS transactions into a force for good.

“Together, through the collective power of small change, we know the NightOwl community can make a huge difference for sick and injured kids across Queensland.”

Children’s Hospital Foundation CEO Lyndsey Rice says the support from the NightOwl community will help the not-for-profit organisation to continue to change outcomes for sick kids in hospital.

“We are incredibly honoured that Children’s Hospital Foundation was chosen to be the nominated charity for the inaugural NightOwl OwlGood fundraising campaign,” Ms Rice says.

HOW WE CAN ‘GIVE A HOOT’ A community campaign will see NightOwl customers’ small change help transform the lives of sick and injured children in Queensland.

L

ittle Patrick Fleming is one of many children across Queensland relying on the generosity of the Sunshine Coast community. The six-year-old (pictured) was born with multiple joint deformities and has undergone ongoing plaster casting of his torso and legs and multiple surgeries since birth.

Originally from Katherine in the Northern Territory, the Fleming family relocated to the Coast in January 2021.

Patrick’s intense treatment schedule at Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane has been made easier through the support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Now the foundation is hoping residents will turn their small change into a large difference for sick Queensland kids.

It has teamed up with NightOwl

Convenience for the inaugural OwlGood fundraising campaign. Customers at the Little Mountain or Noosaville stores can make a $2 donation through the purchase of a wall token.

NightOwl national marketing manager Glenys Tristram says she is thrilled the company will help make a difference to the lives of children including Patrick.

“We are so excited to give back to the community and some of our state’s sickest kids through our partnership with the Children’s Hospital Foundation – the first of its kind for NightOwl,” Ms Tristram says.

“As an organisation, we are extremely passionate about supporting and adding value to the communities we live in and serve and wanted to live up to ‘OwlPromise’ through allowing our customers to turn their everyday

“... we know the NightOwl community can make a huge difference for sick and injured kids” “Each breakthrough in research, investment into new equipment or load eased by our patient and family support team – that is because of the generous support of our partners like NightOwl who allow us to continue to help sick and injured kids get better. No matter the donation, we encourage the community to get behind NightOwl and help sick kids – both today and into the future.”

The NightOwl wall token campaign will help fund life-saving medical research, invest in vital new equipment and provide support and entertainment for children and their families.

Customers will be able to buy a wall token and donate to the Children’s Hospital Foundation until January 10 next year.

To find out more or support this initiative, visit one of NightOwl’s two stores across the Sunshine Coast or go to nightowl.com.au/owlgood.

HOSPITAL CHANGES AFOOT The emergency department of one of the Sunshine Coast’s key hospitals will be relocating to a temporary location during refurbishments as part of the State Government’s ongoing redevelopment project.

The public entrance point of Nambour General Hospital (NGH) emergency department will move but will remain close to the existing entrance and will be well sign-posted.

NGH emergency department clinical director Dan Bitmead says it will be business as usual at the busy ED. “More than 14,000 patients attended this emergency department from July to September this year,” Dr Bitmead says.

“This important service will continue to be available to the community throughout the redevelopment and relocation.”

NGH has a proud history of providing services to the Sunshine Coast community since the 1920s. The hospital’s $86 million redevelopment project started in 2019.

The redevelopment will increase the bed capacity by 35 per cent by 2031.

Director of corporate governance and contracts Troy Kenny says parking will remain the same, with an additional patient drop-off point provided near the new entry.

“It’s also important the public understand the emergency department at Nambour will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as usual and will not be closed during the relocation,” he says.

The Nambour General Hospital redevelopment will deliver: • increased capacity of emergency care • more beds for mental health patients • increased capacity of wards for surgical and medical patients • a same-day rehabilitation unit • a purpose-built space for renal dialysis • relocation and refurbishment of cancer care services, including same-day medical infusions and chemotherapy • a new central sterilising unit • a new courtyard and drop-off zone located near the emergency department • a new kitchen.

CELEBRATIONS PLANNED FOR OPENING OF THE ‘PEOPLE’S BUILDING’ A landmark building in Maroochydore’s emerging city heart is ready for its official opening – with residents invited to join in the celebrations.

The $100m Sunshine Coast City Hall will open on Saturday, December 10.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says the 10-storey building will ultimately feature retail and community spaces, venue hire for community groups and businesses, large, open workspaces as well as communal facilities, end-of-trip amenities and green areas.

“The building has been designed to accommodate contemporary workspaces for its users, with flow-on benefits in terms of provision of services to our community,” he says.

“Sunshine Coast City Hall’s top floor, offering views from the hinterland to the coastline, will, when its fit-out is completed, be for the people.

14 My Weekly Preview | December 1, 2022

14.indd 1

“It will be used for a wide range of council-hosted and sponsored events, citizenship ceremonies and community engagement workshops, as well as being available for hire for specified community and business events.”

HARBOUR DREDGING TRIAL

NURSE’S INNOVATIVE IDEA A WINNER

A new method will be tested to address the at-times dangerous Mooloolaba Harbour entrance. Maritime Safety Queensland will start a new dredging trial to improve access at the river mouth. The trial will involve dredging sand banks within and to the west of the Mooloolaba rock wall. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey says nearly 100,000 cubic metres of sand will be placed at various locations on Mooloolaba Beach between Cheese Block Park and the Mooloolaba Surf Club. Mr Bailey says the new concept was developed through feedback from key stakeholders, such as the local Coast Guard.

A stakeholder group was created to investigate a longer-term solution for the entrance.

Buderim Private Hospital nurse and clinical educator Anna Ballantyne has had her role in inventing the world’s first portable patient isolation room recognised in the UnitingCare Queensland Full Circle Awards. Ms Ballantyne was awarded the Wish I’d Thought of That Award at UnitingCare Queensland’s annual employee recognition awards for helping to invent the Rediroom. The Rediroom is an instant patient isolation room that has been proven to improve patient isolation required for multiple reasons, including COVID-19. It can isolate patients anywhere. The awards seek to recognise and celebrate the efforts of UnitingCare’s 16,500 staff across Queensland, working in services including hospitals, Blue Care and Lifeline.

$5.7 MILLION $605,000 Works are now underway on Maleny-Kenilworth Road to stabilise a 60-metre section of the rock-fill embankment near Bakers Road. Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton says the $5.7 million investment will provide a safer road surface and reduce the likelihood of future land slips on this section. “Maleny-Kenilworth Road is a key hinterland road linking the townships of Maleny, Conondale and Kenilworth,” Mr Skelton says. “With wet weather forecast over summer, we want to reduce the risk of damage to the road that can be caused by persistent wet weather.” Works are expected to take six months to complete and will take place from Monday to Friday between 6am and 6pm.

Smart water meters have saved Unitywater customers more than $605,000 and 130 million litres of water in the past 18 months. The meters have detected hidden leaks, which the utility has been able to alert customers to before the problem became worse or continued.

The project, known as the Smart Meter Network, has seen 10,500 customers in the historically ‘leaky’ suburbs of Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headland and Buderim have a digital meter installed at their property. Unitywater’s Katherine Gee says smart water meters capture meter readings at 15-minute intervals, compared with mechanical meters, which are read every quarter.

NEWS Eating. Spending more than two years researching writing, designing, editing and publishing the guide, Ms Nicholson (pictured) says she is excited to be able to share it with anyone facing similar dietary challenges.

“A Teen’s Guide is all about eating the best food to live your best life,” she says.

“It is full of information on dietary issues and the impact of food on health and human bodies.

“A Teen’s Guide is all about eating the best food to live your best life”

TEENS ARE WHAT THEY EAT A new cookbook by a Coast teenager explains dietary issues and the impact of various foods on health. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

Maroochydore teenager is using her own dietary challenges to inspire a generation of people to better understand the food they eat.

Living with a gluten intolerance all her life, the 19-year-old knew she needed

to gain a better understanding of her overall health and the food she was putting in her body after becoming seriously ill.

It has culminated in the release of Maddy Nicholson’s healthy food guide cookbook, A Teen’s Guide To Better

“I became passionate about this subject because of my own journey of dietary challenges.

“I have been gluten intolerant all my life and, a few years ago, became seriously ill which started the story of endless doctors, tests, missed school and pain before finding someone who said, ‘Change your nutrition intake now’.

“Trial and error and trying many diets like low FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols), coeliac requirements, vegetarian and vegan

started my discovery of real food and a deeper understanding and respect for food, diets and overall health.”

Ms Nicholson says she hopes the guide will provide a platform where other teenagers can find vital information in one place. She uses peer-reviewed research to add credibility her work.

“The reason I wrote this book is because it took me so long to find all the pieces, all the answers, and it felt like an endless uphill battle for too long. I filled the book with my knowledge and experience, I’ve backed everything up with peer-reviewed research and shared favourite recipes of my own making that are easy, big, tasty and healthy.”

The guide features sweet and savoury recipes that cater for gluten- and dairyfree, low FODMAP, vegetarian and vegan diets. Ms Nicholson favourite recipes include the creamy lemon fish, savoury muffins, nutty butter cups and ‘caffolate’ cupcakes (which are chocolate and coffee flavoured).

A Teen’s Guide To Better Eating is available at mzmstudios.com.

CELEBRATING TOGETHER

T

housands of people are set to converge for one of the Sunshine Coast’s premier Christmas celebrations.

The Buderim Community Carols is expected to bigger and better than ever, when it’s held on Sunday, December 11.

Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) carols organiser Andrew Butterworth says last year’s show attracted more than 3000 people and this year’s “action-packed” edition is set to entertain many more.

“The evening will be full of opportunities to singalong with performances from the Buderim Mountain State School Choir, Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra, Buderim Youth Theatre and the Elite Dance Institute,” he says.

The event will be hosted by the BWMCA, with the support of the Bendigo Community Bank Buderim at Buderim Village Park, from 5.30pm for a 6pm start, with entry by gold coin donation.

Attendees are welcome to bring chairs or rugs and enjoy the Buderim Scout’s sausage sizzle or treats from other community organisations,

including fairy floss, popcorn, baked treats and ice blocks .

“We hope the Buderim community will join in on the spirit of peace and goodwill as we head into Christmas, and we would love to invite families from communities throughout the Coast to join us,” Mr Butterworth says.

GETTING THERE Parking around the Buderim Village Park is available and community organisations will be operating carparks with entry by a donation at the following locations: • Buderim Mountain State School, Main Street, Buderim.

• Buderim Uniting Church, 2-10 Gloucester Road, Buderim.

• St Mary’s Catholic Church, 24 King Street, Buderim.

We’re Taking Over 50s Living to New Heights

SINGLE & DOUBLE STOREY RESIDENCES NOW SELLING Greenwood Forest Glen has already taken over-50s community living to a whole new level, but now with our Stage 4 release, we’re reaching new heights, quite literally. That’s why we’ve dubbed this exclusive release of 31 residences ‘The Heights’.

In every way, these homes reflect the Greenwood philosophy that living in harmony with nature is intimately linked to health and vitality, and it flows through everything from the connected native gardens to the expansive community orchard and vegetable plots.

These elevated blocks with a choice of luxury single-level or double-storey homes with lifts, sit overlooking our 5-hectare private rainforest reserve and with views of the Blackall Ranges.

So, living at ‘The Heights’, you’ll not only enjoy all of the community features and facilities that have made Greenwood a favourite among active and social over 50s, but you might also feel a little bit special.

MY OPINION

AGGRO HAS NO RIGHT OF WAY

TO THE RESCUE OF BABES IN DISTRESS

Jane Stephens drives home the need for all road users to choose courtesy over craziness for the collective good.

Ashley Robinson is filling his nest with kindness towards wildlife and recommends we all spare a thought and a few dollars for their carers.

S

haring is not something we are very good at, particularly when we are on a mission. And on our congested roads, our self-focus is sharpened, with metal machinery the weapon for all manner of hustle and push.

On the blacktop, there is too much aggro and too many road users thinking this is their space and their time and they will get where they are going right now – come hell or high water.

But surely there is room for us all: it just takes a few deep breaths and a conscious decision to choose courtesy over craziness.

I use the roads in multiple ways: I am a driver, a bus user and a bike rider.

A group of friends and I cycle regularly early in the day. We are mindful of being courteous to other road users. We ride together because it is safer as well as social.

Most of all, we want to have fitness, fun and to make it home in one piece.

Most drivers we cross paths with in the dawn light are okay, with the majority being tradies en route for their early start.

But occasionally we strike a doozy.

A recent interaction involving a young driver (his vehicle adorned with a P plate, presumably standing for ‘prat’) caused us

all fear. Despite us riding within the law, in single file and indicating our intentions, he felt the need to honk, accelerate erratically and brake wildly.

It was scary and unnecessary.

When we found ourselves side by side with him at the next lights, we all shook our heads as he muttered and scowled.

Joining him in unpleasantries would just add to misery.

I have heard it said by some drivers that they simply don’t like cyclists. And that is their right. I don’t really like the conduct of hoons or ruffians, either, but I don’t wish them harm.

It is not their right to lash out and use their vehicle to cause menace.

The ethics of fairly sharing spaces have been eroded by a diminished regard for the collective good.

Studies increasingly find our world might have more information but it also has greater disconnection and less interdependence. We have our elbows out and our personal wants sharpened, but for everyone’s sake, we need to consciously calm down, ease up and make room for the others. On roads and other shared spaces, that is not too much to ask.

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

I

was talking to a mate of mine the other day and he took me to task about the columns I write. He was sick of bird ones and me having a crack at the other half.

So, sorry in advance to anyone who agrees with my friend.

I was heading for a lunch at Your Mates Brewing Co the other day and it was that busy, I had to park a good walk away from the beer and burgers which I had been thinking about all morning.

But there, on the driveway of a business, was a baby magpie – watched by its parents and about a metre away from an idling truck that appeared to be about to drive over it.

The baby bird clearly had been blown out of its nest. Its mum and dad were watching it with toes crossed that the truck wouldn’t squash it. I moved it on to the grass but, with my own food in mind, I didn’t have time to ring wildlife carers and it wasn’t going back in the nest unless someone had a cherry picker.

I went in the front door of Sunquest Industries and asked the young man whether he was community minded. I

think his name was Roy. He said ‘yes’, so I took him to the bird and left him with it.

On my return, I thought I would check out how Roy got on. He had taken it to Nicklin Way Vet. So, I went up there to see how it was going and Etsy had it all under control. Well done, Roy. I got home that night and a really good neighbour turned up on his pushbike with a cygnet in its basket that had been abandoned by the resident swan family.

The bird expert told him to take it to Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue in Landsborough. But he informed me he had had two wines. I had had one beer four hours previously, so I was the ‘winner’. Off to Twinnies we went.

I wasn’t thrilled but I have to say I am glad I did as those two girls at Twinnies do an amazing job rescuing wildlife that, in most cases, have been hurt by the human race. They get little or no funding and survive on donations. As a community, we should be supporting them.

Thanks to Roy, from Sunquest, Nicklin Way Vet and Twinnies.

It really is up to the rest of us to do some heavy lifting.

MY OPINION

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ‘F’ WORD Sami Muirhead reckons memorable Christmas presents – good and bad – from family members are the gifts that keep on giving for years to come.

I

s there something you are hoping for to find under your tree this Christmas? I would like to wake to The ‘H trifecta’: a Hemsworth, a hound and a honking big diamond.

But my husband, reality, and my bank account all protest. So, instead, I will be thrilled with a new book or two, fruit mince pies and pyjamas.

I just love this time of year – more than the average person.

A study has found that there is quite a lot of pressure to buy your kids the perfect gift as it can shape their life memory when it comes to Christmas.

Many adults have that primal memory etched in their heads of receiving their first bike or a longawaited pair of white skates at Christmas time.

My mum did a wonderful job of raising three kids by herself, but she failed in the present department.

When I was eight years old, we kids woke to much excitement to open our ‘big’ gift.

My older brother and sister both ripped away paper to reveal the coolest skateboards I had ever seen. Do you remember those skinny ones that were

made of horrible thick plastic and were all one block colour of bright yellow or red? Well, they scored one each.

I was in awe. I opened my bundle to reveal knee pads and a helmet. No skateboard. At first we all thought it was a joke. But Mum said I was too accidentprone to have a skateboard.

I was at the hospital a lot as a kid because I was always breaking bones or in need of some quick stitches as a result of something silly I had done (including getting cut after I tried to learn to juggle with glass glasses). It was the worst Christmas morning ever.

To this day, I tease my mum about it.

Being a strong, independent woman (stubborn), she defends her actions and says a skateboard for me would have resulted in a hospital trip on Christmas day. Families! You can’t pick your own!

That ‘F’ word is what I truly want for Christmas. Our family gathering is early this year but we will all still be together to sledge each other, play beach cricket and buy each other joke gifts.

Maybe I should bury the hatchet once and for all and buy my 81-year-old mother and myself a skateboard.

What could go wrong?

CURRENCY CONSEQUENCES Global investment markets saw significant gains during October. Despite a set of disappointing earnings reports from large technology companies in the US, optimism among market participants showed signs of improvement following a slight moderation in the September CPI print, released mid-October.

Markets are still down year-to-date, but October’s rally helped ease the pain.

Technology stocks (as represented by the Nasdaq index) and emerging markets have some way to go before the position is reversed. Amid a sea of red, the US dollar (USD) stands alongside oil, coal, and the energy sector as one of only a handful of investment segments to deliver positive returns over the past 12 months.

Year-to-date the US dollar index has rallied 11 per cent. All major currencies have fallen against the USD over the past 12 months; the Australian dollar (AUD) is mid-pack, with a decline of 7.5 per cent.

The AUD is towards the lower end of its 50-year trading range against the USD. However, against a broader basket of currencies, the AUD has been under less pressure, with the Trade-weighted index trading at the 40-year average.

A strong USD is typically a headwind for equities and commodities.

While it has been a factor in the former’s weakness (the MSCI All World

index is down 21 per cent), it hasn’t dragged down the commodity complex.

Currency movements are a function of numerous factors. As highlighted by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), long-term drivers can include interest rate differentials, terms of trade and commodity prices, international trade, and prices and inflation. Short-term drivers are generally risk sentiment and speculation.

At the moment, with investment markets focused on interest rates, differentials (the difference between interest rates in separate countries) are a key driver of demand for and supply of AUD. If the differential falls, Australian assets become less attractive for foreign investors and demand for AUD declines.

The RBA cash rate has historically been higher than the Fed Funds rate. Since the GFC, however, the differential has narrowed and is currently negative.

The AUD has typically traded as a ‘risk-on’ currency: rising in periods of economic and equity market strength and falling when the mood darkens. The latter has very much been the case over the past 12 months, with the S&P 500 down circa 16 per cent and recession fears looming.

On our estimates, about 12 per cent of ASX 300 revenue emanates from the US. But the proportion of the index exposed is much larger as the 12 per cent does not account for mining and energy companies, deriving the bulk of earnings in USD.

In cinemas now. Rated PG.

In cinemas December 26. Rated G.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ new action-packed movie adventure, Strange World, invites your family to prepare themselves for a journey beyond everything they thought was possible. It follows the legendary family of explorers, the Clades, as they attempt to navigate an uncharted, treacherous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog and a slew of strange creatures. Inspired by classic adventure stories, this original animated adventure/comedy about a family who overcomes their differences while exploring a strange and wondrous world will have you cheering for their escapades.

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a live action/CGI musical comedy that brings this beloved character to a new, global audience. When the Primm family moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle – a singing crocodile (Shawn Mendes) who loves baths, caviar and great music – living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle’s existence is threatened by evil neighbour Mr Grumps, the Primms must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti, to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Take some time out with the family, sit back, relax and enjoy the latest flicks on the big screen.

PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH

THE FABELMANS

In cinemas December 26. Not yet classified.

In cinemas January 5. Rated M.

This Christmas, everyone’s favourite leche-loving, swashbuckling, feardefying feline returns. For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet. Academy Award nominee Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious Puss in Boots as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star with help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek).

A deeply personal portrait of a 20th century American childhood, Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans is a cinematic memory of the forces, and family, that shaped the filmmaker’s life and career. A universal coming-of-age story about an isolated young man’s pursuit of his dreams, the film is an exploration of love, artistic ambition, sacrifice and the moments of discovery that allow us to see the truth about ourselves, and our parents, with clarity and compassion.

HOW TO SURVIVE SILLY SEASON IN GOOD HEALTH

health

FINDING COMMUNITIES WITH PURPOSE

C

ommunity is more than just sharing a common goal, living in the same region or having similar interests.

A meaningful community gives its members a sense of belonging and feeling of purpose, as well as offering a safe and encouraging space.

Within this unique atmosphere of respect and trust, community members get to create new relationships, expand their knowledge, open their minds and find opportunities that would not be accessible to them otherwise.

A great example of community is the one Surf Getaways has created for female surfers over the years. The female coaches and founders created a community for beginner women in the industry where one didn’t exist, and now have a thriving following in their learn-to-surf clinics and luxury holidays.

To allow more women across the world to benefit from this community, the team has just developed and released a new online community platform. This is available for existing members and women around the world to connect,

watch fitness videos, get surf tips, participate in events and access exclusive content to support their life journey – no matter their age, location, background, or if they surf or not.

So if you’re looking for something different and to be part of a community of like-minded, adventurous women from all over the world, sign up from only $49. Or grab a VIP membership for $99 and receive $775 in discount vouchers for international tours and activities. Sign up at surfgetaways.com. au/community.

Don’t become the Grinch this silly season.

Here are some ways to help support your body and mind during what can be a fun but busy time for us all.

Choose organic fresh local produce to eat: There is an abundance of organic produce, especially seasonal fruits, during the holiday season – packed full of powerful antioxidants, fibre, vitamins and minerals.

Stone fruits such as cherries contain polyphenols and Vitamin C that may help reduce inflammation; plums are antiinflammatory and contain antioxidants; peaches and apricots are low in calories yet high in carotenoids and nutrients; mangoes are loaded with nutrients, including anthocyanins, carotenoids and vitamin C. Support your liver: Liver is the powerhouse of our body systems. It works 24 hours a day to detoxify and produce bile to break down fats and support our digestive system. When we increase our intake of fatty foods, alcohol and sugar, this puts extra pressure on our liver, and it may become sluggish and overloaded. Be mindful of consuming too much of these foods through the holidays. Drink some liver-supportive teas or juices and replace those liver-stressing foods with organic, alkaline liver-supportive foods.

Reducing inflammation: Systemic inflammation can be increased through stress and not eating enough essential nutrients needed for our body systems to function optimally. Avoid the heavily processed foods during the silly season that contain chemical additives, preservatives and other non-natural ingredients. Choose organic and hormone free whenever possible. Meats – in particular, ham, pork and bacon – may contain inflammationproducing nitrate preservatives.

HEALTH & WELLBEING FEATURE

fun time for all to enjoy, but sometimes the pressures of life and family commitments may overwhelm us and increase our stress levels. Reducing stress will help our body and mind work synergistically. Stress interferes with our gut microbiome, mind health and immunity. Take time out to meditate, enjoy a yoga class, exercise daily, and get adequate rest and sleep. These steps will help reduce our stress and keep us on a healthy track through the crazy holiday period.

Hangover support: If you overindulged in a few too many drinks, there are ways to curb that dreaded hangover feeling the next

day. Alcoholic drinks can contain preservatives that can make us feel unwell and cause body inflammation. Try drinking preservative and sulphite-free wines and spirits and ditch the high sugary mixes for more natural sparkling mineral water.

Hydration is so important when drinking alcohol. Try to drink plenty of filtered water before, after and in-between drinks.

Remember to eat food and pace yourself.

Homeopathic remedies such as Nux Vomica and Ipecac may help relieve symptoms of hangovers, as do nutrient-rich foods, kombucha, ginger and coconut water.

Practice mindfulness: Our everyday life can be busy and chaotic. We need to slow everything down and be more conscious.

We can do this by taking a digital break to give your mind and body a much-needed break from your electronic devices. Stop multitasking and take one day at a time and accomplish one task at a time. Become more grounded with nature, take a dip in the ocean and walk on the grass with bare feet. Be mindful and grateful for all that you have, practise daily meditation and love all of those wonderful friends and family.

5 tips to naturally reduce the effects of a hangover • Drink more water: alcohol is dehydrating.

Choose coconut water which contains five electrolytes: magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and sodium.

• Drink Kombucha: it’s full of healthy probiotics, protects the liver and detoxifies the body.

• Eat before, during and after: food slows down the absorption of alcohol through

the stomach lining. Choose organic food choices with nutrients and antioxidants.

•Choose preservative or sulphite-free drinks: preservatives, flavours, colours and sugars can cause increased inflammation to your body systems.

• Rest and recover: Listen to your body.

Rest, sleep and recover to help detoxify and rebuild your body systems.

Across Australia more than 4 million people are currently living with heart disease.

With 2023 fast approaching, now is the perfect time to take control of your heart health as your food choices are one significant and modifiable risk factor for heart disease.

A CHANCE TO MINIMISE IMPACT OF HEARING LOSS Research indicates that one-in-six Australians has some form of hearing loss. Many people with hearing loss experience a drop in self-esteem and confidence because of their impaired ability to communicate with others.

Hearing loss refers to reduced hearing, which can be caused by a variety of factors.

It can either be congenital or acquired later on in life.

It can range from mild to profound hearing loss.

Hearing loss can affect a person in

four main ways: • fewer educational and job opportunities due to impaired communication • social withdrawal due to reduced access to services and difficulties communicating with others • emotional problems caused by a drop in self-esteem and confidence • A predisposition to early-onset dementia.

Some hearing loss can be dealt with by counselling on hearing tactics and strategies. Some hearing loss can de attended to by medical intervention, but the vast majority of cases needs to be looked at with electronic amplification.

It all starts with a hearing test at a hearing clinic.

Fear of what is involved and reliance on anecdotal reporting of benefits create delays in getting much-needed hearing help. Great Aunty Maude’s experience from the 1950s is not a good indicator of modern devices.

Just remember: hearing better equals living better.

Lisa Burley is a senior hearing rehabilitation specialist at Hear4Good, an independent and locally owned hearing clinic in Golden Beach and Caloundra, ph 54770144, hear4good. com.au.

STEPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER What is that spot and what should I do?

If you’ve ever asked these questions, you’re not alone.

There are many different types of skin spots (lesions). Some we are born

with, some go away, many appear – which ones are skin cancer?

Working out which skin lesions need a check isn’t always easy but there are some simple tips to help you keep safe: • Monitor your own skin between checks and use ‘SCAN’ – look for anything Sore, Changing, Abnormal or New. Spots that don’t go away after six weeks should always be checked.

• Have a thorough head-to-toe skin check at least once. As part of this, you should be given a personal risk assessment and a plan for how often you need a skin check.

• Have a regular skin check if you have many moles, visibly sun-damaged skin, or a personal or close family history of skin cancer.

Remember: good cancer care is not about being worried by your skin, but knowing your risk, reducing that risk, and getting on top of problems early.

Dr Simon Hardy is an accredited skin cancer doctor and has been caring for sun-damaged skin in Australia for over eight years. After previously practising in Caloundra, he has now moved to the new SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre on Wises Road, Maroochydore. New patient bookings (and long-term care) available.

Cataracts and C dD Dry Eyes

A cataract is any clouding of the lens of the eye. The lens is situated inside the eye, behind the pupil. It acts in the same way as the lens in a camera to help focus light rays on to the light sensitive nervous tissue in the back of the eye – the retina.

Dry eye syndrome is a general term for the breakdown of the tear film that protects the eye’s front surface. It is the most common symptomatic eye condition treated at Best Practice Eyecare. Dry eye syndrome causes chronic, tired, uncomfortable eyes.

Our team will carefully examine your eyes and plan your treatment.

Shane Blackmore is a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in London and New York, specialising in the management of shoulder disorders. He is trained in the latest minimally invasive and keyhole techniques.

He has specific interest in the management of: • Shoulder disloca ons • Rotator cuff tears • Shoulder arthri s Shane also sees pa ents for hip and knee complaints.

’TIS THE SEASON TO KEEP AN EYE ON SAFETY We all love to make merry and spend time with our loved ones, particularly over Christmas and New Year.

Summer in the sun brings with it extra risks for eye injuries.

These range from cuts and abrasions to the lids and eyebrows, to fractures of the bones around the eye, and penetrating injuries where a foreign object has entered the eye.

Some of the mechanisms of injury I have seen over the years include: • Christmas trees and decorations • Santa snow – believe me, you don’t want this in your eye • fishhooks and fishing rods • surfboards • fat splatters and flames from barbecues • footballs and tennis, cricket and squash balls • toys – anything with a projectile • falls from skateboards or just a trip or slip when you’re not paying attention.

beach, especially if it’s windy. Sand under your contacts is extremely painful and can cause corneal ulcers.

Another precaution with contacts is that they should never be worn when swimming. There is a protozoa called Acanthamoeba that lives everywhere in the environment but is especially prevalent in fresh water, swimming pools and the ocean. This guy loves to bury itself in the cornea under your lenses. Patients I have looked after with Acanthamoeba keratitis are in the worst pain you can imagine. This infection can lead to the loss of your eye.

And of course, last but certainly not least, champagne corks!

Love your eyes. Keep them safe.

EXCITING NEW DENTAL SPECIALISTS’ COLLABORATION ALLOWS PROCEDURES TO BE COMPLETED IN ONE DAY People with missing, broken-down teeth often put off treatment due to dental anxiety, fear of dental impressions, a strong gag reflex, claustrophobia or due to time constraints. They may now have a solution.

Mrs L, a 60-year-old female patient, was treated by a team of Sunshine Coast Specialists, Dr Ramman Oberoi and Dr Ian Wilson, using a digitised guided surgical approach, AuDentes®, developed by a Melbourne Prosthodontist, Dr Philip Tan. Her existing compromised teeth were replaced by new implant-supported fixed bridges in a single surgical procedure in a day surgery setting in a hospital.

Popular procedures claiming immediate teeth, in reality, provide teeth in three to five days, requiring

intervention and impressions in a post-surgery swollen and uncomfortable mouth. The temporary bridge then placed requires to be changed to a final one in a few months. AuDentes®, however, offers instant teeth with removal of existing teeth, implants placements and final fixed bridges.

These are all done in one day under one procedure, with comparable costs and minimal time. Some costs may be covered by your Medicare and private health cover, too.

If you are unhappy with your teeth or dentures and are considering options to replace them, make contact for a consultation or for more information on this exciting, new treatment option.

HOW TO EAT HEALTHY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BUDGET Across the country, food prices are rising at one of the fastest rates among consumer goods, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. With millions of people feeling the sting, it begs the question: is it still affordable to eat healthy?

EONLife Wellness dietitian Annelise Jefferies said that while the climbing price of food is out of Aussies’ control, making smarter decisions at the grocery store is something everyone can have control over.

“Chicken and some fish are more affordable than red meat, but you can also cut costs by looking at your portion size,” Ms Jefferies said.

“We have a cultural norm of oversized serves of meat. A steak cut could be

between 200 grams and 400 grams, but in fact one portion, according to the Australian Dietary Guidelines, is only 65 grams of cooked red meat.

“The advice I often give to my clients is to take a bit more time to plan your meals before you leave home. There are many ways to save, such as substituting some meat dishes with legumes, never grocery shop on an empty stomach, as you’ll be more likely to end up with more impulse buys of less-nutritious foods in your trolley and keep a stash of frozen fruit and vegetables on hand.”

Ms Jefferies is currently taking bookings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you’re interested in making an appointment, call the EONLife Wellness team on 5414 1150.

WELLNESS EXPERTS

OPTIC NERVE HEAD DRUSEN Optic nerve drusen are abnormal collections of protein and calcium that accumulate within the optic nerve. Most are noted incidentally on routine eye examinations, particularly in prepubertal children. Drusen can be obvious and present on the surface of the optic nerve as irregular knobbly lumps or remain buried, giving the appearance of a “full” or even “swollen” optic nerve. Buried drusen can be more difficult to diagnose and may require the use of ocular imaging or ultrasound.

Drusen can also be inherited, so it may also be helpful to examine other family members.

Optic nerve drusen do not usually affect vision and frequently goes unnoticed by the patient. Occasionally they can compress the optic nerve and compromise the peripheral field of vision over a prolonged period.

In addition, choroidal neovascular membranes (an abnormal collection of blood vessels) are an extremely rare complication of optic nerve drusen.

Patients are usually referred to an ophthalmologist for suspected optic nerve swelling, which could be mimicked by optic nerve head drusen.

FITNESS

Swollen optic nerves, known as papilledema, could indicate an issue with raised pressure in the brain. This is a medical emergency and may require urgent neuroimaging, lumbar puncture, and hospitalization to determine the cause. Optic nerve drusen and papilledema may look similar but are actually very different. Several risk factors and symptoms can help to distinguish between these two conditions. There is no effective treatment for drusen and they can be monitored quite safely in majority of cases.

Reflux Testing NOW AVAILABLE

Sometimes, the symptoms of reflux are more sinister than heartburn or regurgitation, and could be causing, or contributing to, other health conditions.

XRAY & IMAGING Contamination of reflux throughout the head and neck can be the cause of ear and sinus infections, sore throat and a difficulty in swallowing. Reflux can also irritate the airways and be aspirated into the lungs causing chronic cough, breathing difficulties, recurring chest infections, bronchitis or pneumonia.

Managing your weight during the festive season ’Tis the season to be jolly.

But does that mean you need to overeat and drink too much in order to have a great time?

Just because there are more social events than normal, it should not be a licence to overindulge – especially if you wish to maintain your current body or, better still, make improvements to your physique during the festive season.

There is no worse way to start a new year than with unwanted weight gain. Have a plan.

Pick the events that you know you will enjoy and don’t eat what is served simply because it is there.

Use Christmas as a time for making moments and memories, without the overeating and excessive drinking – especially if this time of year is stressful for you.

The festive season is about connections, family and togetherness.

It is a time to reflect on the year that was and to practise gratitude.

It is also a time to practise moderation when it comes to your relationship with food and alcohol.

SKIN CARE EXERCISE

Just a spot, or an ‘ugly duckling’?

You may be aware of the ‘ABCDE’ rule to spot a melanoma.

Yet, it is complicated and has its limitations.

The “ugly duckling sign” is a great alternative to help you ascertain if any spot on your skin is dangerous.

Each of us has a characteristic pattern to our moles, where they all look somewhat similar.

Some people have only one characteristic pattern, while others may have two or even three such mole patterns.

The ugly duckling sign states that any spot looking different than the other spots is most likely to be a melanoma.

It is a validated score system with a 100 per cent sensitivity and 88.3 per cent specificity (better than the ‘ABCDE’ which is less sensitive and less specific).

Next time you scan your skin, look for the funny looking unusual one.

And if you find an “ugly duckling” have it examined by an accredited skin cancer expert.

Do you think reflux could be the cause of your symptoms?

When it comes to hopes, wishes, close relationships and your peer group, the more patient you are, the better the final outcome will be. A realistic and disciplined daily routine will also help you to pursue your dreams and achieve your goals.

Work and home life look rather chaotic, as retrograde Mars and the full moon stir up your career and domestic zones. Expect the week to be messy and disorganised (and you might get distracted and make some frustrating mistakes) but try to keep things in perspective.

This week your aspirations zone is activated by the full moon – but retrograde Mars is there as well.

You’re focused on your ambitious hopes, dreams and wishes for the future, but they will take a while to manifest. Practice patience … and persistence.

The full moon highlights the resources you share with others.

Whether it’s income, property, business or relationships, all joint endeavours must be closely examined. Be careful you don’t blow a big hole in your Christmas budget.

The full moon is activating your wellbeing zone, so jump off the couch and get moving. Nutritious meals are also on the celestial menu, as you take more interest in your health and appearance. If you listen to your inner voice, it will point you in the right direction.

Take a good look at your close friends and peer group. Do they encourage you to be the quirky, avant-garde Aquarian you were born to be? It’s also a good week to tackle a creative solo project, as the full moon energises your self-expression zone.

This week you could feel confused or discouraged, but escaping into a fantasy world won’t make problems magically disappear. As the week progresses, do your best to banish procrastination and be a firm and focused fish, as you find creative solutions to current challenges.

investors, and now we expect that to continue, which should help to take some of the pressure off extremely tight rental markets,” he says.

“On the Sunshine Coast, buyer sentiment is significantly cooler than it was a year ago, and there is now scope to negotiate much more forcefully on both price and terms for investmentgrade properties.”

BuyersBuyers CEO Doron Peleg says there are some excellent opportunities

emerging for investors keen to look at houses in our region.

“Using our unique Where to Buy property market research tool, we have listed our top 10 suburb picks on the Sunshine Coast for investors looking to buy a house with a budget range from $700,000 to $1,200,000,” he says.

outheast Queensland is back on the radar for property investors, Pete Wargent, co-founder of Australia’s first national network of buyer’s agents, BuyersBuyers, says.

price brackets than they might have previously looked at, driving an increased interest in townhouses and units.

“Generally speaking, though, detached homes are the property of choice for buyers on the Sunshine Coast with the requisite budget.”

Mr Wargent says the BuyersBuyers top 10 suburb picks list includes a range of neighbourhoods where buyers can negotiate attractive deals in the current market.

“Vacancy rates are low in the suburbs we have picked, and there is very little risk of imminent oversupply in most areas as population growth from overseas migration picks up rapidly, and the Coast continues to be a strong drawcard for those attracted by the outstanding lifestyle on offer,” he says.

“The Sunshine Coast market has been a strong performer in recent years, but it’s in a bit of a downturn phase at the moment.

“To get a strong result over the next decade out to the Brisbane Olympics in 2032, it’s really important to buy the right property and at the right price.”

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

A friend from Hawaii sent me a picture from their last huge swell. Imagine this, a wave larger than your local telegraph pole by an additional 10ft. Then image a surfer having this break on him as he tries to unsuccessfully outrun it, held down under water for over a minute. The bright side is he was pushed far away from the impact zone as the next wave hit.

This weekend will have waves but thankfully not to Hawaiian standards.
