id you know one Australian dies from melanoma every six hours? In fact, 1300 Australians will die from the insidious disease this year alone.

They are sobering statistics, indeed. Yet unfortunately, despite the warnings, Australia is still known for its tanning culture. Our younger generation continues to lash on the tanning oil and blister in the sun for that ‘perfect’ bronzed complexion associated with being ‘healthy’.

This month is Melanoma March – a yearly campaign to raise awareness about melanoma and the importance of sun safety. The main focus this year is about stopping the glamorisation of tanning, and it’s something Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) is passionate about. I caught up with MIA’s CEO Matthew Browne to learn more about the initiative.

In other news, the hugely popular Australian sunshade company CoolCabanas has partnered with Melanoma March and is supporting the Sunshine Coast’s event in Noosa on March 26.

Turn to page 11 for all those details. It’s a timely reminder to have your skin checked and slip, slop, slap, seek, slide!

QUEENSLAND HOSPITALS UNDER GROWING STRESS The health system continues to struggle to meet demand with more than 104,000 outpatients waiting too long to see a specialist.

T

he number of Queensland patients waiting longer than clinically recommended to see a specialist in public hospitals has surged more than 80 per cent to 104,000 in a year, according to the auditor-general.

The Queensland Audit Office also revealed ambulances lost 134,155 hours waiting to transfer patients into hospitals in 2021/22 – a rise of more than 20 per cent over the previous year.

Auditor-General Brendan Worrall’s report revealed outpatient services and ambulances were being hampered because the health system had reduced capacity to meet growing demand.

Emergency department presentations

rose on 1.5 per cent to 1.7 million in 2021/22, compared to the previous year, the report said, while ambulance incidents rose by the same percentile to 924,000.

Mr Worrall said the rising demand was due to Queensland having the fastest population growth in the nation, an ageing population, an increase in complex emergency presentations and mental health conditions and the impacts of COVID-19.

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath indicated the suspension of elective surgeries by national cabinet in 2020 and COVID-19’s impact contributed to delays in specialist wait times.

She said both had a significant impact that was felt all across Queensland.

“We are investing significantly to lift up that recovery,” she said last Wednesday.

“We’ve seen a six per cent increase in the amount of elective surgery we did in the last quarter compared to the previous quarter. So the hospital and health services are making a difference. They are seeing an improvement, but it’s going to take some time.”

Health workers took more sick leave and those who weren’t sick worked more overtime during the year, while about 1700 also took special paid leave while they had their request for vaccine exemptions assessed.

The cost of that leave totalled $18 million with about 593 of those who accessed it no longer working for Queensland Health.

Ms D’Ath said the government followed appropriate processes with workers who opted against vaccination but was disappointed with the costs it entailed.

“What we asked of them was not unreasonable,” she said.

“We ask our health workers to be vaccinated for a range of vaccinations.

COVID is now one of those normal vaccines as far as employment conditions, and we do have a duty of care to keep this community safe.”

The cost of COVID-19 on the state’s public health system was about $1.37 billion over the year, the audit report said, with the department expected to lose $267.3 million from obsolete inventory, a surge from the $44.9 million in write-offs in 2020–21.

The inventory losses included $195 million for rapid antigen tests that were due to expire before being used.

AGENDA

IS IT TIME TO CHANGE THE AUSTRALIAN POSTAL SERVICE? A discussion paper has been launched on modernising Australia Post following several years of decline.

The number of letters delivered each week has fallen by two-thirds since peaking in 2007/08.

In 2008, around eight addressed letters were sent on average each week to Australian households. As of today, the number of letters households receive each week is an average of 2.4, prompting suggestions Australia Post could move away from daily letter deliveries.

The head of Australia Post earlier this year said bills and bank statements made up about 98 per cent of letters delivered to homes. Meanwhile, parcel deliveries were booming, with more than 500 million delivered by Australia Post during 2021/22, with one in five retail sales happening online.

Australia Post had posted a loss of $189.7 million for the first half of the financial year.

The service is on track for a full financial year loss, the first time it has happened since 2015.

Australia Post is currently obliged to deliver letters to 98 per cent of Australian homes every weekday.

COVER STORY

Bronze loses its shine Melanoma experts are desperate to stop the glamorisation of tanning in a concerted effort to save the lives of Australians who are likely to develop skin cancer in the future.

WORDS: Ingrid Nelson.

MIA CEO Matthew Browne and co-medical directors Professor Georgina Long and Professor Richard Scolyer

W

e live in the melanoma capital of the world, with the number of skin cancers in Queensland forecast to increase for the next several decades. Yet, despite the dire statistics, Australians – particularly the younger generation – are still chasing that bronzed Aussie glow associated with ‘health and vitality’.

It’s the reason Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) has launched its recent campaign, Stop the Glamorisation of Tanning, as part of this year’s Melanoma March event. And according to MIA’s CEO Matthew Browne, with the help of social media and significant influencers, we can make a big impact on changing the narrative around sun safety.

“A tan is skin cells in trauma, and the glamorisation of tanning in advertisements, social media and media is promoting a behaviour which we know kills,” Mr Browne says.

“We know that there has been a proliferation of the glamorisation of tanning in the last decade and the reasons are two-fold.

“One, there was less-pervasive awareness around melanoma due to the lack of an awareness campaign since Slip, Slop, Slap, and two, the explosion of social media has had an

10 My Weekly Preview | March 9, 2023

10.indd 1

effect on young people who think tanning is a good thing.

“There has been a significant focus on tanning and the so-called beauty of a tan and we need to stop that fast.”

MIA’s co-medical directors Professor Georgina Long AO and Professor Richard Scolyer AO put the issue on the agenda at the National Press Club last September. Each Melanoma March event will have Stop Glamorising Tanning stickers for participants to wear proudly.

“We utilised the National Press Club to call out three things relating to the prevention of melanoma. The first was a modernised awareness campaign, second was to raise the sun-safety level around sport and, finally, we called on our media and social media to do what they can using their platforms to influence our young people about the dangers of tanning,” Mr Browne says.

In direct response to the campaign, TikTok answered the plea by removing concerning content associated with the #sunburnchallenge and is adding educational content and links from MIA to all searches across the platform around tanning, summer and sunburn.

“The campaign – Tanning. That’s Cooked. – uses humour to throw shade at tanning and highlight the dangers and the craziness of cooking yourself in the

“The glamorisation of tanning ... is promoting behaviour which we know kills” Matthew Browne

sun like a sausage on a barbecue,” Mr Browne says.

“This partnership is such a great step forward.

“It just feels so imperative that we keep on about this.

“It’s wonderful to have a major social media platform come on board and we

call on all social media and significant influencers to keep the conversation going.

“At the end of the day, we are the first to say prevention is better than cure.

“We don’t want to see our teenagers, in 10 or 20 years’ time, in our clinics.”

This year, MIA is also calling on Australians to join its 2023 Melanoma March campaign to support the psychological health and wellbeing of their fellow Aussies living with advanced cancer.

“We are really excited about this campaign,” Mr Browne says “Thanks to advances in treatment, a lot of patients with advanced melanoma are surviving much longer now and we don’t know much about what their psychological needs are.

“By 2030, a further 200,000 people will be living with melanoma.

“So, understanding those needs are so important and we know the community is very much behind it.

“Imagine if you were a 20 to 30-yearold with advanced melanoma and you have had a successful response to one of the treatments.

“You might have 60 years ahead of you but you will be living with the thought of it coming back. Those people have to be supported.” myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

A SUN-SAFE PARTNERSHIP In a partnership fostered to promote sun safety and save lives from skin cancer, Melanoma Institute Australia has joined with leading Australian company CoolCabanas as its official shade partner.

The multi-year partnership will see joint branding and sun-safe messaging on packaging for CoolCabanas UPF 50+ cabanas, as well as vital financial support from CoolCabanas for MIA’s world-leading research and clinical trials. The company is also supporting Melanoma March on the Sunshine Coast this year. CoolCabanas creator Mark Fraser spoke with My Weekly Preview about the inspiration behind the designs and the collaboration with MIA. When and how did you develop the concept for CoolCabanas? I conceived the idea sketching out options in the sand at Noosa beach one afternoon during summer 2014.

Prototypes were then tested until the first production version launched in 2015. My brief was to create a sun shelter capable of withstanding typical beach winds, that shaded a family and was easy for one person to use.

Why did you decide to come on board as a supporter of MIA and Melanoma March?

Melanoma Institute Australia is a perfect fit for our brand. It is the world leader in melanoma research and being able to contribute to the reduction of skin cancer and make sun protection ‘cool’ is a no-brainer for us. It’s a magical partnership and we couldn’t be happier. We are passionate about maintaining the great Aussie outdoor lifestyle but can’t ignore science. The sun is a killer and we are very proud to help stop the glamorising of tanning and actually save lives.

What does your partnership with MIA entail and how will it help?

Our support initially was purely financial. We’re now looking into expanding this by using CoolCabanas as a blank canvas for influential people to get behind to spread the sun-safety message.

Melanoma Institute’s “5 sun-safe rules message” is boldly printed on our swing tags which accompany every CoolCabana. Our involvement in this year’s Noosa Melanoma March is another show of our support. We couldn’t be happier to be spreading the sun safe message in Noosa where the first designs were literally sketched in the sand.

BY THE NUMBERS It is expected that 16,800 Australians will be diagnosed with melanoma this year.

One Australian is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes.

It is estimated 1300 Australians will die from melanoma this year.

One Australian dies from melanoma every six hours.

Melanoma is the third mostcommon cancer in Australia.

Melanoma is the most-common cancer for Australians aged 20 to 39.

Melanoma is the second mostcommon cancer in Australian men, after prostate cancer.

Melanoma is the third mostcommon cancer in Australian women, after breast and bowel cancer.

95 per cent of melanomas are caused by overexposure to UV radiation from the sun.

If caught early, 90 per cent of melanomas can be cured by surgery.

ABOUT MELANOMA MARCH Melanoma March began as a community fundraising event in 2012 when James Economides wanted to raise awareness and funds in honour of his son, Michael.

Michael passed away from melanoma in 2008.

He was just 20 years old.

Melanoma March celebrates Melanoma Institute Australia’s major annual fundraising campaign.

Each Melanoma March brings together melanoma patients, their families and local communities to raise awareness and funds for research to reach their goal of zero deaths from the disease.

This year’s Melanoma March Sunshine

Coast will take place on March 26.

It starts at 8.30am at Chaplin Park in Noosaville.

WHAT OUR LOCAL EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY Dermasurg – You may be aware of the ABCDE rule to spot a melanoma. Yet it is complicated and has limitations. The “ugly duckling sign” is a great alternative to help you spot a dangerous spot on your skin.

Each of us have a characteristic pattern to our moles. Some people have only one characteristic pattern, while others may have two or even three such 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.

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

– Dr Daniel Bothma dermasurg.com.au Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology – There have been significant improvements in the management of advanced melanoma in the past few years, moving away from relatively ineffective and potentially toxic chemotherapy towards highly effective and well-

tolerated immunotherapy.

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

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

Ultimately, the best treatment is still prevention.

– Dr Hong Shue, oncologist schoc.com.au SunLife Skin Cancer Care Clinic – At SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre, we’ve seen a positive change in the way people behave in the sun. More and more people are choosing to avoid excess harmful sun exposure. In April, we will be adding a 3D Total Body Photography machine to our Care Centre, the most advanced imaging technology available. This will be a huge step forward for melanoma screening and detection and we’re proud to be providing this for our Sunshine Coast community.

Gympie. It comes in time for the health foundation to host its fourth annual Wishlist Giving Day on March 23 to raise vital funds to support the growing health needs of patients and families locally.

“It’s great to be back in time for Wishlist Giving Day,” Ms Rowe says.

“This 12-hour appeal is one of the most exciting fundraising days for our team and health staff because it’s the community’s only chance to make double the difference.”

Ms Rowe says a matching effort on the day will see generous local businesses match every dollar donated.

This year’s appeal features five-yearold Archer Howe.

Archer was born with two rare genetic conditions: Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) and Hirschsprung’s Disease, which threaten to cut his young life short every day.

CCHS is a condition that affects the nervous system and the brain’s ability to regulate breathing.

Archer was born at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) but stopped breathing soon after birth and was rushed into intensive care.

Instead of spending precious moments holding their first-born baby boy, Archer’s parents Summer and Tom spent that first night without him as he was rushed to a major hospital in Brisbane.

“We were able to help little Archer – and many other families with critically ill children – by funding inter-hospital transfer equipment for the Paediatric Critical Care Unit at SCUH, worth $130,000,” Ms Rowe says.

“It meant Archer could be transferred back to the Coast, which was a huge relief for Summer and Tom. “And they were finally able to spend their first Christmas as a family at home in Tewantin after several years receiving care in Brisbane.”

Ms Rowe says proceeds from this year’s Wishlist Giving Day will fund vital medical equipment, support services, and research projects to enhance the hospital experience for all patients – from newborns to palliative care.

“Our wish list is long, and the need is great so we hope our community can rally around on March 23 because you never know when you, or a loved one, might need the help of your local public hospital,” she says.

STANDING TALL IN A MALE-DOMINATED WORLD The Sunshine Coast Council CEO has never taken a backward step in following her dreams and forging an impressive career.

I

n 2023, there are more women in leadership roles than ever before. At Sunshine Coast Council, Emma Thomas has made it to the very top.

In support of International Women’s Day yesterday, the chief executive officer is reflecting on being a woman in the

workforce and the many changes she’s experienced over her career.

Before becoming the CEO of one of the nation’s biggest councils, Ms Thomas forged an impressive career path in several traditionally male-dominated arenas, including mechanical and aeronautical

engineering and a decade-long stint in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

She inherited her love of space from her father and an interest in joining the RAAF from her grandfather, who was a Spitfire pilot during World War II. Ms Thomas’s first RAAF posting was at Tindal, south of Katherine in the Northern Territory. She worked on the then very new F/A-18 Hornets and loved every moment.

The former Western Australia gymnast left the RAAF to join Boeing Australia and then held a range of senior leadership roles with the South Australia and Queensland governments.

She was also director-general of Transport Canberra and City Services in the Australian Capital Territory – an organisation of nearly 2000 staff.

Now at the Coast council, she’s still leading by example. For Ms Thomas, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many incredible women across all levels of the council. And if we still have inequitable situations, the CEO believes it’s a worthy conversation to keep having.

When considering a promotion or stepping up, she believes women often stop

themselves before even giving it a go.

“I’d encourage people to see how it works first, be open about what you need for it to work and let the system build around you,” she says.

“I try to say to people, ‘Don’t have a fixation on what your pathway looks like, because 30 years ago, there’s no way I would have thought I would be sitting here today as the CEO of Sunshine Coast Council’.

“It’s important to go and explore and to see what sparks your passion.”

Ms Thomas shares that her No.1 quality for any leader is to care about people.

“For anyone who’s thinking about being a leader, being a compassionate and caring and kind person is at the core of all leadership endeavours,” she says.

“International Women’s Day provides an opportunity to reflect on that one day a year, to keep shifting the dial – meaning we’ll continue to move towards equality – and get there as fast as we can.”

With 10 of the 11 Coast councillors being men, the CEO acknowledges there’s still work to be done to encourage diversity in local government representation.

“Having women in the workplace – or diversity of any kind – allows us all to explore and understand differences a lot better,” she says. “You want to get the best out of your workforce by seeing difference as an asset, not a hindrance.”

Evelyn McCorkell and Debbie Craven are working to form the Caloundra Women’s Shed

HOW TO BUILD A NEW WOMEN’S SHED Caloundra women have taken a great idea and hammered out the details to create a community group. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

S

parking from a conversation over a glass of wine and inspired by the work of a group of women in Coolum, a new community group is ready to become a reality.

The Caloundra Women’s Shed aims to provide a supportive environment that

reduces social isolation – a place where women of all ages can learn new skills, make friendships and have fun.

Kings Beach resident Evelyn McCorkell has been busy putting the group in motion after meeting with a group of friends at the end of January to

set up a fundraiser page to help cover the start-up costs. It’s a timely announcement for the soon-to-be-formed group, with the second annual National Women’s Shed Week from March 4-12.

“As a result of posting on Facebook, we now have about 50 friends of Caloundra Women’s Shed,” she says. “We have all the necessary paperwork completed and the GoFundMe Facebook page has raised enough money for us to be able to proceed with becoming a not-for-profit organisation in just seven weeks.”

Ms McCorkell says once the group is registered, the next step will be finding a permanent location.

“We have been meeting weekly, so far in public places such as parks and the (Caloundra) Power Boat Club – big thank you to the Power Boat Club who have been so helpful to us. Whilst these places have been okay, they are not ideal and not suitable for our longer-term aspirations, so we are hunting for premises.

“In the meantime, we intend to hold a few social, low-key activities during March and April – like book exchange, beach walks, coffee mornings and movies.”

Ms McCorkell says an ideal venue will need to cater for meetings and activities, with space to accommodate about 20 people with tables, chairs and storage.

Contact Ms McCorkell on 0407 624 650.

HEALTHCARE CENTRE A BOOST TO HINTERLAND SERVICES The first sod has been turned on an $18 million healthcare centre that is set to provide general practice, allied health, dental, optometry and radiology services, as well as a childcare centre, to a growing community.

Hinterland residents will soon have access to comprehensive primary health services, with Cornerstone Group marking the commencement of work on the 4000sqm Beerwah Health Hub. Cornerstone Group director Simon Heazlewood says he is excited to break ground on the project that will deliver 50 jobs during construction and employ a further 50 staff once completed.

“We’re thrilled to be commencing construction on the Beerwah Health Hub, as we seek to address the needs of this growing and emerging region that, to date, has been underserviced in regard to quality primary healthcare,” Mr Heazlewood says.

MyLocalDoc has secured a space on the ground floor that will eventually be filled with a range of aligned health care and retail and cafe services. The first floor will house Happy Hearts Child Care Centre. Construction is expected to be completed on the Beerwah Health Hub by the end of this year.

“Over 85 volunteers and representatives from more than 50 of the Sunshine Coast’s most remarkable community groups were beneficiaries of financial and in-kind

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

FROM THE MAYOR Boosting the capabilities of local businesses and enhancing our region’s liveability and natural assets are some of Sunshine Coast Council’s key focus areas outlined in our Corporate Plan 2023-2027.

The Corporate Plan, which was informed by consultation with our community across a broad range of activities, will also build on the strength of our economy and increase our community’s resilience and agility to respond to change.

As more people choose to live on the Sunshine Coast, we’re presented with opportunities and challenges. An important part of managing our growth is developing, in consultation with our community, the new Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme which will shape land use and development across the region for the next decade and beyond.

Also in the next decade, we will see the legacy plan for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide opportunities right across our community and be a catalyst for the future prosperity, liveability and reputation of our region.

If you’d like to know more about how Council’s plan will advance our vision as Australia’s most sustainable region – healthy, smart, creative – head to Council’s website and search ‘corporate plan’.

Help design your dream ecological park The new green space will encourage residents to play, discover and rest in unique ‘forest rooms’ .

A

n ambitious vision to restore cleared grazing land to original lush rainforest in a “new kind of park” has been revealed by the Sunshine Coast Council, with the community invited to have their say on the proposal.

Council has released the Sunshine Coast Ecological Park draft master plan, which features highlights including two treetop bridges, a forest lookout with 360 degree views to the Glass House Mountains and the ocean, community pavilion, operations and research facility and “forest rooms” for play, discovery,

rest and contemplation.

The 65-hectare land parcel, currently used for cattle grazing, lies in Jinibara country adjacent to the existing Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve at Maleny, and within the Mountain View Green Space, one of the Sunshine Coast’s five major green spaces.

The plan aims to create a place where humans and nature co-habitate, with ecosystems thriving alongside spaces for the community and visitors to experience ecological restoration through education, play spaces and nature-based recreation.

The park is expected to take decades to fully establish, with the regrowth and recovery of the forest and wetland ecosystems to take longer still.

Community members can explore the full draft master plan and leave feedback online at haveyoursay. sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au, or by scanning the QR code. Feedback submissions close March 20.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

Entries are open for the Sunshine Coast Art Prize ‘CLEAN AND GREEN’ MOWING FLEET A CUT ABOVE THE REST Mowing grass has never been greener – or quieter. Sunshine Coast Council has introduced the largest fleet of fully electric, commercial grade, ride-on mowers of any Australian local government.

The five new mowers are environmentally friendly and reduce noise pollution by up to 50 per cent.

Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez says the program is a great step towards becoming Australia’s most sustainable region.

“We are passionate about maintaining open spaces our community loves to enjoy,” Cr Suarez says.

“These clean, green machines will be used to service our parks and recreation spaces, cemeteries, and Sunshine Coast Stadium. You may see more of Council’s new mowers in action around the region but will be hearing less of them.

“Sustainability continues to be a priority for our region and programs such as this ensure we protect a healthy environment and liveable Sunshine Coast for generations to come.

“The fully electric mowers join Council’s growing eco-friendly fleet of vehicles and plant tools.”

The prestigious visual art award showcases Australia’s best, and offers a $40,000 prize pool.

T

he 2023 winner of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize is set to take home $25,000 and join the ‘greats’ in the Sunshine Coast Art Collection.

Now in its 18th year, the visual art award is a showcase for outstanding contemporary 2D arts practice in Australia and offers a total prize pool of more than $40,000.

There are five prize categories including three professionally judged categories, the popular people’s choice award and an artist residency prize.

Submissions can be made online at

Kate Tucker, winner of the 2022 Sunshine Coast Art Prize gallery.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au with entries closing 11.59pm, May 14, 2023.

The acquisitive prize is open to Australian contemporary artists working in any 2D medium and in new media.

All 40 artworks selected as finalists will be exhibited at the Caloundra Regional

MY OPINION

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

THE VERY THIN BLUE LINE

A mishap nearby throws a spoke in the wheel for Jane Stephens on a leisurely bike ride, forcing her and friend down the quick action road.

Ashley Robinson comes out all guns blazing in backing police officers who want to continue serving their community after the age of 60.

E

mergency situations bring out the best and worst in people.

Mostly, humans either rise and kick into gear or crumble into inaction. They fire up, fade away or lash out, diving in to help or fleeing.

The nuances of such polarised responses were laid bare on one Tuesday morning on a Coast bike path.

Nearing the end of our daybreak ride, my friend and I were passed by a large group of happy, chatty blokes on bikes.

They were travelling at pace, but I had heard them coming and dropped behind so that we were in single file. Another group of four or five cyclists was coming towards us. We could see their headlamps as they rounded a slight bend.

The small and large groups neared each other. Someone in the small pack was startled by the peloton and braked hard. The rider behind caught his wheel and, in moments, a lithe, fit, older man was sprawled on the concrete pathway.

My friend and I were metres away.

I hollered at the disappearing peloton that a man was down, as my friend and I swung around to help. It would have been unthinkable to continue home, even

though the collision did not involve us.

The man was on his hands and knees, bleeding profusely, groaning and swaying slightly. My friend – an Energizer Bunny – is also a handy first-aider and doesn’t mind taking charge. She was in emergency response mode: assessing, reassuring and sourcing something to put pressure on his wounds. Spare socks found new purpose.

I dialled 000. One of the man’s riding mates provided his details. Action, inaction, paralysis, nausea: the variation in responses was enormous.

Some of the peloton reappeared, having turned around. A mate of the injured man flew at them, enraged, screaming that they should have made room on the path. Someone yelled back.

The tension was palpable. It looked like a punch-up was likely. My friend, still helping the bleeding man, yelled for them to move apart. Screaming over the top of an injured person seemed extra barbaric.

The situation defused to a tense stand-off. Emergencies bring out many responses: all understandable. But thank goodness for people who dive in and help, like my friend.

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

T

he headline read: ‘Qld police exodus’, lamenting how recruitment numbers are down and that the folk in blue are leaving in record numbers.

That is a perfect storm and not what the state government promised last election. Instead of a promised 1500 more coppers, I think the number was 92 and probably, if we hit the pollies with truth serum, it would actually be a minus.

I have a solution for the geniuses in Brisbane: change the retirement requirement (currently 60). That seems to be part of the problem. While they are at it, let retirees work and only pay tax, not lose the pension. That would solve a lot of problems in the labour-starved workforce.

Back to the folk in blue and all that knowledge walking out the door at 60, whether they want to or not. Now, I have mentioned this before and the response I get is that super is geared to 60, in favour of the retiree. Well, change it for those who want to stay. It can’t be that hard.

Why I mention this is that the ‘Sheriff of Mooloolaba’ Steve McDonald is about to hit 60 and retire – a massive loss for the

busy strip, as he is renowned for driving the beat in his ATV and reminds me of coppers when I was growing up, who attached their boot firmly to my backside.

Of course, he isn’t allowed to do that these days – more’s the pity – but he knows who’s who in the zoo, which is invaluable to the community and what is going on in his patch. I’m not sure he wants to retire: he appears to love his job and the community loves what he does.

Solution? Bring in yearly fitness tests for police. It will be good for their physical and mental health. Those who want to serve past 60 should be allowed to, as long as they pass the test. I know what you’re thinking: if there is a fitness test, there will be fewer police than there are now. But we have to start somewhere and maybe, up until 60, no one fails, but there’s a blanket ban on doughnuts. Just kidding.

Of course none of this will happen as it’s far too practical. So, Sheriff, like many other wonderful police I have known, you will be sorely missed. Thank you, and I say that even if you had kicked me up the arse like some of your predecessors, as it was duly noted and well deserved.

MY OPINION

DOOR TO OUR INVENTIVE SOULS Sami Muirhead finds herself darting towards a whole new world of great ideas after a fortuitous trip to the rubbish tip recently.

F

orget great inventions such as the wheel, nails, penicillin, the light bulb, the internet, the use of fire and bras. I have something better to brag about.

Watch out for the new Dart Door, coming to a market or shop near you soon. Well, perhaps.

I finally won glory in the eyes of my kids with my self-proclaimed invention of the decade: a portable dart door. I bought an old door from the tip and nailed a dart board to it so the kids can throw sharp missiles whenever they feel the need.

Our house has too many brick walls and clutter for a good spot to hang a dart board. So, this genius idea allows you to move the whole door to a location that has a view or perhaps just out of the weather, with a nice narrow alley way to hurl your darts towards the target.

I have not trademarked my brilliant idea, so you are welcome to copy it. In the meantime, a passion for darts has been lit in our home.

Darts is the ultimate all-inclusive sport as anyone can play it as any age at any time of the day. Sure, our poodles sometimes are nearly hit with a wayward dart. But overall, it is a game we embrace.

Darryl Watt, Ord Minnett Buderim.

CAUTIOUS ON OUTLOOK Its inception can be traced way back to the end of the 19th century where soldiers used to aim at casks or tree trunks with short arrows. It quickly became a pastime in the battlefield.

My Dart Door idea prompted me to research the best inventions released this year. I have some tough competition, though, given some whiz has invented the coolest bird feeder around that has a trigger sensor to photograph any birds landing on it.

Then, there is a new machine that analyses your pee at home to give you vital clues about your health.

I have mixed feelings about this, as I assume it also tells you if you are drinking too much wine and eating too much KFC. Some things in life are best left a mystery.

And my favourite new product on the market is a pillow that feels like it’s breathing when you hold it.

It slowly contracts and expands as you clutch it, which trains your body to do the same and sends you off to sleep.

Some may say it sounds creepy but I think it is a great way to nod off after a good game of darts and a nice feed.

Sometimes, it is the simple things.

Sami Muirhead is a radio announcer, blogger and commentator.

For more from Sami, tune into Mix FM.

Ord Minnett has reviewed the outlook for the Australian economy and financial markets for 2023. This has led us to become increasingly cautious.

We await a US correction and signs the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) can pivot to interest rate cuts before looking to become more constructive again. Our analysis is built on the following themes.

After a V-shaped recovery in economic growth to above pre-COVID levels, 2023 should look very different. The RBA’s aggressive tightening cycle will drive a significant slowdown. Consumer spending should slow sharply, given a record spike in the interest burden, a negative wealth effect from falling house prices, declining real wages and slowing jobs growth.

The global drivers of inflation – supply chain pressures and elevated commodity prices – are rapidly unwinding. Container and bulk freight rates have fallen markedly from peak levels, and indicators of supply chain and input costs in US manufacturing have fallen to unusually low levels.

The aggressive RBA tightening cycle is particularly powerful, given the high level of household debt. We see the RBA policy curtailing demand by 4.3 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With the shift to fixed-rate mortgages and the build-up of

homes under construction, however, RBA policy will have substantial ongoing effects – some 1.5-2 per cent of GDP – well after the tightening cycle ends. When demand moderates to the point where the RBA puts rates on hold, and with inflation likely to decelerate sharply, the case will quickly build for rate cuts.

Australia has recorded current account surpluses since mid-2019, mainly due to elevated commodity prices. In our view, Australia’s interest rates could move structurally below the US. With a negative interest rate spread, exaggerated in the short-term by diverging Australian and US outlooks, this is also likely to mean a lower local currency than in the past.

The rally in the S&P/ASX 200 Index since October pushed the index to within cooee of its record high before coming back. Australia may quickly return to low inflation, but the market seems to have already discounted this forecast. For the market P/E ratio to move materially higher from here, expectations of higher growth or, more likely, significant interest rate cuts, are needed.

It is also important to point out earnings risks.

Australia’s GDP slowdown and sharply lower inflation are likely to mean downward earnings pressure. Earnings estimates have already priced in a positive outlook, making the market vulnerable to downgrades.

difficult to locate ourselves, and we could feel isolated.

IDEAS FOR WORKING WITH THIS PRINCIPLE 1. Consider incorporating views to landscape features, significant strands of vegetation, trees, gardens, waterways and beaches to create a visual connection to the landscape.

THINKING GREEN

2. Work sensitively with key view corridors by aligning buildings, streets, landscapes and open spaces to protect the view.

In the spirit of celebrating sustainable design, My Weekly Preview’s monthly magazine My Renovation is set to kick off a seven-month series in conjunction with Sunshine Coast Council that focuses on keeping your home cooler naturally. The first of the series will publish in the April edition, which will hit news stands on March 30. You can also read it online at myweeklypreview.com.au.

3. Consider the impact on significant views when planning buildings, structures, streets and landscapes. Remember that the view of the building or landscape you are creating also has an impact on and could affect the neighbours, the wider community and place.

4. Avoid visual clutter that could negatively impact important views. Locate buildings and infrastructure so they don’t block or impede access to prominent views and vistas.

For more great tips and information about sustainable design principles, visit the website at sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au/Development/Development-Toolsand-Guidelines/Sunshine-CoastDesign/Coolhomes.

TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE

ENTER ‘THE FROZEN PLANET’ Enter a whole new world of icebergs and penguins on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Antarctica aboard a small-expedition ship. WORDS: Frances Wyvill.

A

fter three days crossing the Drake Passage, we arrived in Antarctica. It felt like we had been spat out of a stormy vortex and had entered into what can only be described as ‘The Frozen Planet’: a pristine world with vibrant blue skies, clear icy waters and an abundance of birdlife.

The next few days were filled with Zodiac excursions exploring the Antarctic Peninsula with its icebergs and penguins. Did you know icebergs make noises and penguins are rather stinky?

Our trip would not be complete without doing the Polar Challenge. Utterly invigorating! The Polar Challenge or Polar Plunge is a quick dip in the freezing Antarctic

waters – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I travelled to Antarctica from Ushuaia, Argentina, courtesy of Quark Expeditions on its World Explorer. This is an all-suite, small-expedition ship: five stars, with service to match.

During our sea days, we enjoyed lectures from the Quark Expedition crew. We learnt about the new world we were visiting while meeting fellow guests who had travelled from around the globe. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and a real adventure.

Quark Expeditions’ Antarctica cruises are on sale until April 3. Contact me if you would like more information.

Foreign currency can be confusing.

Some currencies have crazy note denominations: for example, a litre of milk in Vietnam costs 34,000 dong and a cup of coffee in South Korea costs 4700 won.

Local currency experts can offer all the tips and tricks.

Rhonda and the Crown Currency Sunshine Plaza Maroochydore team have extensive knowledge of more than 80 currencies. Here are some of their top tips.

Know your currencies: Did you know that not all countries in Europe trade in Euros? Or that Scottish banknotes aren’t widely accepted in England? Knowing which currencies you will need will make your trip run smoother. “We can guide you in what currencies to take and how much you will need,” Rhonda says.

Don’t leave exchanging your cash until the last minute: Exchange rates vary daily. One day, 1000 Australian dollars may get you 580 Great British pounds but only 540 Great British pounds the next. Rhonda invites you to join her Royal Customer List. “The list gives you access to our exclusive rate watch service”, Rhonda says. “Our team continuously monitors the market, and we will call you when the rates are in your favour to give you the best rate possible.”

Always exchange money at home: Organising your currency in-store with the team before you travel can avoid the risk of being scammed. It also negates the risk of not being able to find an ATM or a currency exchange.

“There’s nothing worse than arriving on a delayed flight to find you can’t get cash to pay for the taxi,” Rhonda says.

SIMPLY THE BEST IN CRUISING EXCELLENCE Viking ocean, river and expedition cruising is going from strength to strength, having been recognised for the second year in a row as both the Best River Line and the Best Ocean Line by Condé Nast Traveller.

Adding a second expedition vessel late last year, putting the newest ship on the Nile River, and beginning the inaugural season cruising the Mekong River, Viking

is breaking some serious records.

Viking has become the first cruise line to publish a scientific paper from its inaugural Antarctic season, following submarine encounters with rare Giant Phantom jellyfish.

Allowing the science community to access under-explored water for biological research is a game changer. I love the ethos from the owner Torstein Hagen, who says: “In creating ‘the thinking person’s expedition’, it was our intention that every voyage should provide opportunities for scientific discovery.

“At the core of Viking Expeditions is the goal to do meaningful scientific work.

“After just one full season in service, we are pleased that our expedition vessels and scientists have already contributed to research that might not have been possible otherwise, and we look forward to providing critical research opportunities on future voyages.”

The full article is available at polarresearch.net/index.php/polar/ article/view/8873 Cruising onboard Viking is a pleasure and a true privilege – and we have already planned our next personal journey onboard Viking.

WORKING TOWARDS GOALS

HELPING PEOPLE REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

get less stressed and actually remember what I need to buy,” laughs Glenda.

Also now able to work through trauma caused by her brain injury, Glenda feels she is finally getting on top of her health concerns. For her family, to see Glenda enjoying life and again working towards her goals has been a gift.

Suncare is continuing to work with Glenda, building on her skills and connecting her to community and government services. If you could use some extra support to review and utilise your NDIS package, visit suncare.org.au/ services/ndis/ or call 1800 786 227.

A good life and the opportunity to reach his potential have always been Kate’s goals for her oldest son Justin.

Justin was diagnosed with autism when he was a toddler.

When NDIS funding was approved in 2018, it was life-changing for the whole family. For the first time, Justin really believed he could achieve one of his goals of paid employment.

With Kate and her husband working and managing the usual runaround with their two other children, Carers That Drive quickly became an important service enhancing their family life.

Kate said that in the early days, knowing they had support for Justin to get to and from his therapist, medical appointments and day programs was a life changer and really made a difference with his personal progress.

“Justin’s volunteer work was a huge step forward for him and doing this with the support of Carers That Drive added to his sense of independence and confidence. It was also fantastic to use his social skills in a safe setting with some wonderful supporters matched to his needs,” she says.

“Then, with the support of a terrific

“My world has changed so much for the better. I actually feel happy and calm for the first time in years.”

For Glenda, every day dragged on in an endless flurry of worrying about her future, feeling isolated and being afraid.

She lost all interest in previous hobbies, and friendships had whittled down to irregular telephone calls.

“I didn’t care what my house looked like and wasn’t eating properly as cooking was just too much hassle. I really was just surviving, not living,” she says.

For many living with a mental health diagnosis, completing simple tasks on their own becomes insurmountable. Although Glenda had received her NDIS plan four years beforehand, she had no idea how to access the funding or use the help on offer.

“When I connected with the Suncare NDIS support coordinator, it just felt like I finally had the guidance and support I needed.”

Glenda is now regularly accessing occupational therapy and a psychologist.

The OT has recommended items that will assist Glenda around the home, while recurring support in domestic, garden and personal care has helped Glenda better manage her home and day-to-day living.

“It is also so much better for me to visit the shops with my new support worker – I

team, Justin landed a paid job.

“It’s been life changing for him and Carers That Drive continue to be a part of this journey. It’s like they’re a trusty, reliable part of family. Always there when Justin needs them, always timely and willing to help.”

Carers That Drive managing director Suzie Coghlan says it’s a delight to support people, enabling them to enjoy life with greater independence and be part of the journey towards meeting their goals.

The Carers That Drive service was established in 2009, matching caring, experienced supporters with people of all abilities from all walks of life.

ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20)

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23)

This week, Mars (your power planet) squares Neptune, the sun and Mercury – which could increase your impatience. Rational rams will simmer down, take a few deep breaths and transform your exasperation into creativity and vigorous physical activity.

Venus (your ruler) shifts into Taurus, so you’ll be at your flirtatious best as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters. If you’re attached, it’s time to rejuvenate the relationship with some old-fashioned romance.

Single bulls – you could meet your soul mate.

With gung-ho Mars still in Gemini, your quicksilver energy is firing on all cylinders this week. The sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune also set the stage for a career upgrade.

But your tendency to over-talk and over-share can get you into trouble – especially if you spread gossip.

With no less than six planets activating your career and aspirations zones, it’s time to have ambitious dreams and set goals.

Stop procrastinating and instead, ask yourself, ‘Do I need to tweak my dreams to make them a more honest reflection of the real me?’

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

This week, the sun (your patron planet) links up with Neptune in the gentle, mystical sign of Pisces – so slow down and calm down.

Tap into your imaginative, intuitive spiritual side. Dream a special dream that will propel you into a magical future.

Attached Virgo – is your relationship stuck in a time-warp where it’s been difficult to move forward? This week’s stars bring a shift in perspective, as you view your lover in a promising new light.

Single Virgo – Friday night favours romantic declarations.

With lucky Venus and prosperous Jupiter in your partnership zone, this week is all about cosy companionship and joint ventures.

The more you focus on the needs of loved ones (and the more you cooperate with others), the happier everyone will be.

You’ll feel more inspired than usual, as the planets stimulate your self-expression zone. Use the power of your imagination to solve problems and soar into higher realms of creativity.

Love and friendship are favoured on Thursday.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Are you confused about which path to follow in the future? Pay close attention to your dreams. They are full of creative ideas and symbolic wisdom that can lead you in the right direction. Painters, artists, writers, musicians and performers will feel particularly inspired.

Family matters and domestic DIY projects are favoured this week, as lucky Venus and prosperous Jupiter navigate their way through your home zone. Can you figure out a problem that has loved ones stuck?

They’re expecting you to come up with the goods, so get creative.

The sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all stimulating your cash zone. Letting finances take their own course seems tempting but you need to keep up to speed with money matters. If you increase your financial literacy now it will pay off further down the track.

Perceptive Pisceans have an uncanny sixth sense and you’ll be using it in spades as the sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune all meander through your sign. You’ll feel increasingly inspired, compassionate and/or spiritually inclined.

HOUSING SQUEEZE PUSHING RESIDENTS OUT OF CAPITALS TO REGIONAL AREAS

AAP

A new report shows the Sunshine Coast is one of the most popular regions for country Australians to move to. WORDS: AAP.

R

egional Australians are moving further away from capital cities, likely pushed out of some country areas by the housing squeeze and soaring rents, a new report says.

The Regional Movers Index report shows movement between regional areas

rose in 2022, averaging 8 per cent higher than the two years before the pandemic.

Region-to-region migration increased by 2.2 per cent in the December quarter, the second highest level since the pandemic began.

The Index, a quarterly report by the Commonwealth Bank and the Regional

Australia Institute, says the increase is down to post-pandemic housing market disruption.

“These disruptions are affecting housing and rental affordability, particularly for low-income regional dwellers previously able to access and afford housing,” the report says.

“Part of the increase in inter-regional migration is likely reflecting people searching for and relocating to other places where housing is more available and affordable.”

The most popular regions for country Australians to move to were the Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast, Bundaberg and Toowoomba in Queensland, along with Maitland, NSW. The areas that experienced the largest growth in residents from other regions were Ballarat in Victoria, Townsville, Rockhampton and Gladstone in Queensland and South Australia’s Murray Bridge.

Commonwealth Bank’s head of regional and agribusiness banking Paul Fowler says

while housing accessibility may be pushing country residents to other regions, the strong labour market is a “pull factor”.

“The number of job vacancies in regional Australia are still at record highs,” Mr Fowler told AAP. “For most skills and occupations, if there’s a desire to move to another LGA, there is an opportunity to find prosperous employment there.”

Australians continued to move from the cities to the country throughout last year as net internal migration jumped 100 per cent or more in 13 regions, particularly in regional Queensland and Victoria.

“The areas experiencing significant net migration increases would certainly be feeling the impact on house prices and rents, local services and infrastructure,” the institute’s chief executive Liz Ritchie says.

“For that reason, policy makers, industry and regional leaders need to heed these results, to ensure adequate planning and resourcing is put in place to accommodate demand both now and in coming decades.”

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Well peeps, I am currently in Canada about to head off snow boarding for three weeks with one of my traditions to swim in the Okanagan Lake before I head up the mountain.

I have just woken up to -14 degrees and snow is on the ground so I am going to channel my inner Wim Hof. Look him up if you don’t know who he is. As George from Seinfeld would say there is going some shrinkage .
