From the editor Welcome to another fabulous issue! We've packed this edition with plenty to inspire, inform and connect you with what's happening in our local community. One of our must-read features takes a closer look at scamming: the tricks scammers are using, the warning signs to look out for and, most importantly, how you can protect yourself and your loved ones. It's an increasingly important topic, and a little knowledge can go a long way when it comes to staying safe. Our MyStyle feature is back with all the latest looks, trends and inspiration to keep your wardrobe feeling fresh for spring. We are also putting Caloundra in the spotlight with our special feature celebrating some of the businesses that make this part of the Sunshine Coast so special. Of course, our much-loved columnists have plenty to say. Jane Stephens asks why some people seem to think it's okay to comment on other people's height (something many of us can relate to), while Ashley Robinson shares some hilarious car troubles his wife has been having. Alongside all of that, you'll find your local news, community stories, what's hot in property and much more, bringing you right up to date with what matters in our region. So, settle in, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy this issue! Ingrid Nelson inelson@myweeklypreview.com.au On the cover: Mooloolaba Nippers Hazel Hoolihan and Verity Hinds.

AGENDA
SHOCKING STATISTICS BEHIND 440 PAIRS OF SHOES Foster and kinship care advocates call for practical reforms to help children and the providers of out-of-home, family-based support.
A
national coalition of child and family organisations, carers and advocates has brought 440 pairs of children’s shoes to Parliament House. The action calls for practical national reforms to strengthen foster and kinship care and ensure children can access stable, supported family-based care. Each pair of shoes represents about 100 of the more than 44,000 children and young people living in out-of-home care across Australia. The number of children entering care remains steady, while the number of new and active foster carers has declined by 21 per cent since 2017, increasing the urgency of growing and sustaining Australia’s community of foster and kinship carers. The sector warns that without
coordinated national action, more children who cannot safely live at home will be left without access to stable, family-based care, placing greater pressure on already stretched carers and increasing reliance on residential care. Families Australia and the National Foster Care Sustainability Group (NFCSG) are calling for practical reforms, including a portable Passport to Care, better access to health and therapeutic services, reduced financial pressure on carers, and fairer workplace leave arrangements for foster and kinship carers. Families Australia CEO Suzanne Greenwood says Australia is facing a national crisis in foster and kinship care. “This is a crisis hiding in plain sight,” she says. “Thousands of children who have experienced abuse, neglect or family
violence are relying on a family-based care system that is under serious and growing pressure. “Family-based care is the best option for children who cannot safely live with their families, but foster and kinship carers are being asked to carry enormous financial, emotional and administrative burdens without the practical support they need.” Ms Greenwood says the National Foster Care Sustainability Group has put forward practical reforms that could help stabilise the foster and kinship care system and deliver better outcomes for children. “If we want more Australians to open their homes to children who need safety, stability and healing, we have to remove the barriers that make caring harder than it needs to be,” she says. NFCSG chair Dr Lisa J Griffiths says Australia’s foster and kinship care system is under increasing pressure, with fewer carers available and more children at risk of being pushed into higher-cost residential care settings. “The recent Australian Institute of Family Studies review makes clear what carers have been telling us for years: caring for a child in out-of-home care costs significantly more than current allowances recognise, and carers are being forced to navigate complex and inconsistent systems to access the support children need,” Dr Griffiths says. Foster carer Kelly Jebb is one of a dwindling number of Australians willing and able to be a foster carer. Over the years, Kelly has opened her home to children who arrived with almost nothing: no clothes that fit, no medical history, sometimes no idea when they’d last seen a dentist. What they have, she says, is trauma,
and a carer’s job is to somehow build a stable life around it. “People think fostering is just love and a spare bedroom,” Kelly says. “It’s so much more than that. It’s chasing specialists, it’s organising appointments, juggling case workers, schools, doctors and therapists, it’s filling out forms at 11pm because that’s the only time you get a spare minute. You’re trying to just be a normal, safe adult and give a child stability, but the system around you feels like anything but stable. “Foster and kinship carers are not asking for recognition alone. They are asking for practical support so they can give children safety, stability and the help they need to recover and thrive.” Carers such as Kelly often find themselves out of pocket, chasing reimbursements and navigating rules that change depending on which state they live in or which state a child came from. Dr Griffiths says Kelly’s experience was echoed by carers right across the country. “We know caring for a child in out-of-home care costs carers significantly more than the current allowances recognise, and the system is too complex and inconsistent for families to navigate on top of everything else they’re carrying,” she says. “These are fixable problems. If we want to keep carers like Kelly and attract new ones, we have to remove the barriers that make caring harder than it needs to be.” Despite the frustrations, Kelly says she has no plans to stop. “Forty-four thousand isn’t just a statistic. It’s 44,000 actual kids, in actual bedrooms, wondering if this is the place they get to stay,” she says. “We need more people willing to open their homes. But we also need to stop making it so hard for the ones who already have.”

FEATURE STORY
Stay safe online The days of spotting a scam by its spelling mistakes and suspicious looking emails are long gone. Just last year, Noosa Council lost nearly $2million in an alleged international fraud attack in which perpetrators reportedly used artificial intelligence capable of “imitating personalities”. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is giving scammers new ways to sound convincing, look legitimate and impersonate people we know, and Sunshine Coast residents and businesses are increasingly finding themselves in the crosshairs. Secure Access IT director Jason Garland and Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace reveal the latest warning signs and how to protect yourself.
Q&A WITH JASON GARLAND Sunshine Coast Tech Industry Alliance chair, Secure Access IT director.
Q. How often are you hearing from Sunshine Coast residents or businesses who have been hacked, scammed or had their data compromised? A. Unfortunately, we are hearing about cyber incidents far more frequently than most people would expect. Although our primary focus is working with 12 My Weekly Preview | September 24, 2026
businesses, we also receive regular calls from local residents who have fallen victim to scams, hacking attempts or data breaches. It’s a concerning trend that reinforces the importance of proactive cyber security measures and ongoing education for everyone using technology today. Q. Are there particular scams or hacking attempts you are seeing more often on the Coast? A. Absolutely. The most common threats we’re seeing on the Sunshine Coast aren’t typically sophisticated hacks like you see in the movies. They’re scams that exploit people and business processes. The biggest increase is in phishing emails, fake Microsoft 365 login pages, and business email-compromise scams, where hackers impersonate trusted suppliers, customers or executives to redirect payments or gain access to company systems. We’re also seeing a rise in invoice fraud and payment redirection scams, where a business receives what appears to be a legitimate request to change bank account details. One missed verification step can result in significant financial losses. We suggest that you always call and
speak with someone to confirm the change before making payments of any size. Another growing concern is the use of AI by cybercriminals, making phishing emails, fake websites and impersonation attempts much harder to detect. What we’re finding is that many incidents start with simple human mistakes such as clicking a malicious link, reusing passwords or not having multi-factor authentication enabled. The key message for Sunshine Coast businesses is that size doesn’t matter. Small and medium businesses are often targeted because they’re seen as easier to compromise than larger organisations with dedicated security teams. As digital technology becomes increasingly important across our region, cyber security is no longer just an IT issue, it’s a business-risk issue. Q. What are the biggest cybersecurity vulnerabilities you see among small and medium-sized Coast businesses? A. Really, it’s everyday issues like: clicking on phishing emails; weak, shared or reused passwords; lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA); and staff training.
Often, it’s staff being tricked into transferring money or sharing sensitive information. The good news is that most of these risks can be significantly reduced through basic cyber hygiene, including MFA, regular staff awareness training, strong access controls, software updates and reliable backups. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It’s a business risk that every organisation, regardless of size, needs to actively manage. Q. Have you noticed an increase in AI-generated scams, fake websites or impersonation scams among your Coast clients? A. AI has supercharged cyber scams. The fake emails, websites and impersonation attempts we’re seeing today are far more convincing than they were even 12 months ago, which means Sunshine Coast businesses and residents need to be more vigilant than ever. The key message for Sunshine Coast residents and businesses is to slow down, verify requests independently and be cautious of any unexpected communication asking for money, passwords or sensitive information. A healthy level of scepticism is now one of the best cyber security tools we have. myweeklypreview.com.au

WHAT YOU CAN DO STOP: pause before you give anyone money or personal information. Urgency is manufactured, because urgency stops you thinking. Say no, hang up, delete. CHECK: hang up and then call back on a number you found yourself: the official website, the back of your card, an old statement – never the number, link or address in the message itself.
Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says: “Almost every week, our office hears from someone in Fisher who has been scammed. More and more of them are careful, capable, financially literate people. Scams have changed, and the old advice about watching for bad spelling protects nobody now. “I’m providing some practical information you can use to protect yourself, as well as understand how scams got so convincing, what to do in the first 24 hours if you are caught, and what to do if your details end up on the dark web.”
6 HABITS THAT DO MOST OF THE WORK
PROTECT: ring your bank the moment something feels wrong. Change any password that may have been exposed. Report it even if you lost nothing: the report protects the next person.
“Almost every week our office hears from someone in Fisher who has been scammed” 8 STEPS TO FOLLOW IF YOU’VE BEEN SCAMMED
1 Turn on multi-factor authentication
Step 1. Call your bank immediately. Do this before anything else, at any hour. Ask to stop or recall the payment, freeze the account and reissue your cards.
and Identity Theft Helpdesk on 1800 941 126. If your tax file number is involved, call the ATO Client Identity Support Centre on 1800 467 033.
3 Never install remote-access software
Step 2. Call IDCARE on 1800 595 160. It is free. IDCARE’s head office is in Caloundra, in the Fisher electorate.
4 Agree on a family code word. Voice
Step 3. Report it to Scamwatch. Go to scamwatch.gov.au. Report it even if you lost no money at all.
Step 6. Put a ban on your credit file. This is the step most people miss, and it is the one that stops a criminal taking out a loan or a phone plan in your name.
2 A different password for every
account. One stolen password should not open anything else. because a caller asked. No bank, telco or government agency ever will ask. cloning is good enough now that an urgent call from a relative asking for money needs verifying.
5 Read your statements monthly. A
small, unfamiliar amount is often a test before a large one.
6 Treat unexpected contact as suspect,

however much the caller knows about you. Knowing your details proves nothing.

FAMILY SIZE PIE
Step 4. Report it to police through ReportCyber. Go to cyber.gov.au. You will be given a reference number. Keep it somewhere safe, because you will often need it later to extend a ban on your credit file.
Step 7. If your bank will not help, escalate. Make a formal complaint through the bank’s internal dispute-resolution process first, in writing. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, take it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority – free to consumers.
Step 5. Tell the right government agencies. If myGov, Centrelink or Medicare details are involved, call the Services Australia Scams
Step 8. Look after yourself. If being scammed has knocked you around, Lifeline is on 13 11 14 and Beyond Blue is on 1300 224 636.

FREE EVENT TO LAUNCH YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY The Sunshine Coast community is invited to the official launch of youth mental health charity Rise & Thrive Co. on Thursday, October 29, and the start of a $500,000 fundraising campaign. The free event at The Wharf Mooloolaba will mark a major milestone for the charity, which has operated for three years with a single outreach worker, supporting more than 595 young people across 4760 individual sessions. Independent program data from 2025-26 shows 94 per cent of participants reported improved emotional regulation, 85 per cent increased confidence and a 78 per cent reduction in school suspensions. Founder and CEO Janelle Parsons says the launch represents a pivotal moment for the organisation. “For the past three years, we’ve seen what can happen when a young person is given the right support at the right time. We’ve built the programs, we’ve seen the
results and we know they work – but we also know there are so many more young people who need us,” Ms Parsons says. The campaign will fund Checkpoint: a $160,000 mobile outreach hub for youth mental health, designed to take counselling and support services into schools and communities across the state. Additional funds will help employ youth workers to meet the growing demand from schools, parents and community organisations. Sunshine Coast local Jay Skoblar has been named an ambassador and will run 40km a day for 25 consecutive days from November 11, aiming to raise $50,000. “If my story can give even one young person a little bit of hope, make them feel less alone or encourage them to believe that their life can change, then sharing it is worth it,” Jay says. The launch runs from 4-6pm. RSVP at riseandthriveco.org.au/the-official-launch/

HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES RECOGNISED FOR EXCELLENCE Four Sunshine Coast companies and organisations will be inducted into the Sunshine Coast Business Awards Hall of Fame this November, recognising sustained success and achievement across a range of industries. Advanced Aquarium Technologies, Sunny Rays Catering, Laguna Pest Control and Alex Surf Club will join the group of local businesses recognised for consistent excellence through the awards program. Sunshine Coast Business Awards chair Jennifer Swaine says Hall of Fame induction is one of the highest honours within the awards.
“The Hall of Fame recognises businesses that haven’t just achieved success once, but have demonstrated an exceptional standard over a sustained period,” Jennifer says. “These four businesses are very different in what they do, but they share a commitment to excellence, innovation and continuous improvement. “They also demonstrate the breadth of capability within the Sunshine Coast business community – from global innovation and hospitality to trades, sustainability and community impact.” Advanced Aquarium Technologies has achieved success across multiple categories, including Export, Building and Construction and Business of the Year, while Sunny Rays Catering has recorded multiple wins in the Hospitality Small Business category. Laguna Pest Control has been recognised in Trades and Services and was the inaugural recipient of the Sustainability Award in 2025. Alex Surf Club will enter the Hall of Fame following sustained success in Hospitality. The not-for-profit venue also supports the Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club. The four businesses will be formally recognised at the Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala Dinner in November.

Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd and Betoota Advocate co-founder Clancy Overell
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM EUMUNDI WRITERS’ FESTIVAL The human condition was the theme of the 2026 Eumundi Writers Festival, held from September 4-6. Authors, artists, scholars and public figures explored storytelling, journalism, father-son relationships, collective identity, artificial intelligence, species extinction and inter-species kinship. While opening the festival, Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said storytelling had the power to make a
difference: “When we share our stories we not only create a legacy going forward, we have enormous potential to change the lives of those around us.” One of the festival’s headline sessions featured former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd in conversation with Betoota Advocate co-founder Clancy Overell. Mr Rudd said that despite a person’s voting preferences in Australia, most people were good. “However people vote, underneath it, all most people are decent,” he said. Mr Overell said Eumundi had likely changed significantly from the small farming town of Mr Rudd’s childhood 50-60 years ago, but it had not lost touch with its roots. “I don’t know if it would have had as many craft beer options and sandalwood incense. I think it would have been a bit harsher,” he said. “Just seeing all the dairy heritage of this area, you just know it would’ve been cold mornings, dirt floors, milk and cows. “It is a bit different to what we see here nowadays. I mean, we have writers festivals here now. “That’s what I love about places like this: even if it becomes a trendy arty town, it is still the kind of people that were there before.” WORDS: Nekia Scott.

18 DAY HOSTED TOUR 1ST SEPTEMBER 2027 - FROM $18,995*
YOUTH HOUSING INITIATIVE Construction is scheduled to begin in the coming months on a new housing complex for young people facing homelessness. The federal government has announced $12.6million to deliver 18 new crisis and transitional homes for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Queensland Senator Corinne Mulholland says the funding from the Housing Australia Future Fund – Crisis and Transitional program will transform a vacant plot of land at 230 Main Road in Maroochydore.
Construction should be completed by the end of next year, with the aim of being operational in 2028. The project is expected to assist about 75 young people every year, with an anticipated average stay of about 13 weeks, depending on the needs of each young person.
POP-UP CLOTHING STORE PUTS FAITH IN HONESTY A Sunshine Coast-based clothing brand is launching an honesty pop-up store in Mooloolaba. Two Wolves Australia director Tequila Isherwood says there’s no staff or checkout counter: customers simply take what they want and pay through a QR code on trust. “We’re filming the whole thing as a live social experiment and it directly ties into the story our brand is built on: the old parable of two wolves living inside all of us – one is anger, greed and ego; the other is love, honesty and courage,” she says.
“Whichever one you feed is the one that wins.” The experiment is from 10am to noon and 1pm to 3pm on September 25-27 at Shop 13/47-51 Mooloolaba Esplanade, Mooloolaba. There’s also a chance to win a $500 gift voucher to be used in the online store.

PROFILE
PARENTING HELP AT ANY HOUR ON YOUR PHONE A Coast woman has tapped into her personal and professional experience to create a digital platform for mums and dads. WORDS: Linda Hooper.
P
hilippa Scott knows what it’s like to be at rock bottom ... to be a new mum feeling overwhelmed, alone and desperate for support. She’s turned that intensely personal experience into a passion for helping other mums in the same situation.
“It’s where my heart sits,” she says. Instead of ignoring the difficult situations that have dogged her throughout her life, Philippa has leaned into them, learning strategies to not only cope but also counsel others. The therapist and childbirth educator
grew up as the daughter of a Salvation Army preacher, attending 13 schools in 15 years. She has experienced two traumatic births and adrenal fatigue. All four of her daughters have been diagnosed with autism and three with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Her husband has a degenerative neurological disease. Rather than feeling sorry for herself, Philippa has spent the past 20 years learning how to be the best mum she can be and helping others do the same. She has won numerous awards for her businesses, including Fantastic Futures and The Mother Awakening: a movement helping women heal the root causes behind stress and reactive parenting. She has also written Finding Your Tribe: From Isolation to Connection. Now, Philippa has launched Mum Wise: a digital platform providing judgment-free parenting support 24 hours a day. Mum Wise works through a link that users can save to their phone’s home screen, with no app download required. “No downloads, no faffing about. It’s just there. Ask it anything,” Philippa says. “The question may be something like: ‘My four-year-old has a meltdown every time I drop him at daycare and I don’t
know how to respond’. Or it could be: ‘I feel like I’m losing my 15-year-old daughter and I don’t know how to make sure we have a solid relationship’. “Within 10 to 30 seconds, you’ll receive an answer.” The responses draw on Philippa’s podcasts, courses, blogs and other work. “There are millions of words in there – all my podcasts, my courses, my blogs. All those pieces inform the responses that mums receive,” she says. “I thought very carefully about the experience I want someone to have when they use it, so the safety and the parameters are well thought out.” Philippa says Mum Wise differs from generic artificial intelligence tools because it is based on her relationship-focused, nervous system-friendly, neurodivergentfriendly and trauma-informed approach. She says many mums are struggling with isolation, while social media can add to the pressure to appear as though everything is perfect: “My clients often say to me, ‘It’s so refreshing to talk to you because your life is often overflowing and messy, too’.” For Philippa, that honesty is at the heart of her work, combining her professional experience with the reality of being a mum, wife and grandmother.

VOLUNTEER LIFESAVERS SET FOR NEW PATROL SEASON The red and yellow flags returned to Mooloolaba Beach on September 19, marking the official start of the volunteer surf lifesaving season. Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club volunteer patrols are back on the sand, keeping beachgoers safe between the flags, with Nippers – the club’s muchloved junior program – kicking off on September 26. “Raising the flags is one of the proudest moments of our year,” club president Trent Robinson says. “It means our volunteers are back on the beach and Mooloolaba is patrolled and safe again. “Last season, our Mooloolaba lifesavers logged over 20,656 patrol hours, provided 3623 preventative actions, tended to 1298 minor and 28 major first-aids and performed 43 rescues. “Every one of those is a life protected and it’s why we do what we do. “We’d love the whole community to come down ... meet the team and help us welcome the season back.” Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club has watched over its stretch of beach since 1922, serving the community for more than 100 years.
Layla Barrett From patrols that began in 1923 under a basic timber shed, the club has since grown into one of Queensland’s proudest, celebrating its centenary in 2022. In 1987, it elected Australia’s first female surf club captain: Cathy Harding. Through fires, rebuilds and generations of volunteers, the mission has never changed: keeping people safe between the flags.

Cr David Law, Division 10
Rediscovering Quota Park What do skateboards, playgrounds, yoga mats and native fish have in common? They’re all helping bring Quota Memorial Park to life. This much-loved Nambour park is buzzing with activity as locals rediscover everything it has to offer. Sunshine Coast Council has partnered with local organisations, including Nambour Community Centre and Trinity Youth and Community Services, to deliver a series of free community events. The park recently hosted the exciting Battle for Nambour skate event and the popular Great Quota Park Playdate, drawing families, young people and community members together. The fun doesn’t stop there. Regular fortnightly playdates, which began on September 17, will give families more opportunities to connect and enjoy the outdoors. New Yoga in the Park sessions on
Tuesday mornings will encourage residents to get active and unwind in a beautiful setting. Behind the scenes, the council has been working hard to keep the park looking its best. Recent improvements include maintenance works, graffiti removal, weed management and upgraded signage. Whether you’re visiting the playground, testing your skills at the skate park, letting your dog run free or simply enjoying the open green space, there’s something for everyone. While you’re there, take a short walk to the nearby Petrie Creek fishway. This important feature is helping native fish move upstream and reconnect with valuable habitat. Quota Park is more than a place to visit. It’s a place to meet, play, relax and connect. And right now, it’s thriving. If you have a question, idea or local issue you’d like to discuss, email me at david.law@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and follow @DavidLawDivision10 on Facebook for regular community updates.
Brendan Hogan Wishlist CEO
YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN What happens when you gather 800-plus really good people into one room for an afternoon? Well, on September 4, we found out. Friendships were deepened. New connections were made. Conversations started. And, somewhere in the middle of it all, a little bit of magic happened. When good people come together and see an opportunity to make a difference to the healthcare of their community, something special happens. They choose to do something about it. It was particularly fitting that this year’s Wishlist Spring Carnival was built around the theme of ‘Legacy and Leadership’. There is the legacy of Travis Schultz, who started this extraordinary event 18 years ago and continues to support it in so many ways. There is the continuing leadership of our Spring Carnival
Committee, led by chair Dan Sowden alongside a wonderful group of local businesspeople who generously give their time to keep this tradition alive. And there is the Wishlist team – our staff, volunteers and helpers – working together to carry that legacy into the future. But perhaps the most powerful expression of legacy and leadership was demonstrated on the stage. This year, with women’s health as our focus, several courageous women bravely and generously shared their stories with us – some through video, others in person. These are stories that brought difficult conversations into the light. Stories that created awareness, understanding and compassion. And stories that inspired hope, courage and determination to make a difference. That’s the magic of Wishlist Spring Carnival. It isn’t simply an afternoon of friendship, fun and frivolity. It is about giving. It is a room full of people choosing to care and to play an active role in supporting the health of our community. So, from our patients, their families and everyone at Wishlist, thank you. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for believing in better healthcare close to home. And thank you for helping make brighter health futures possible, right here on the Sunshine Coast.

MY OPINION
THE HEIGHT OF RUDENESS
OLD AGE NEEDS ADJUSTMENTS
Jane Stephens may be vertically challenged but she knows how to give a short and sharp response to those who comment negatively on her stature.
Ashley Robinson is quickly learning that as the years peel away, we have to make allowances for memory loss and height shrinkage.
I
f you have been kind enough to be reading my column over the past few weeks, I will refer you back to the saga of Old Mate running into a retaining wall. She crushed the front of her car but, not realising the damage she had done, she didn’t even get out to inspect it. So, last week, her beautiful little Toyota Corolla Cross went into the car hospital to get repaired – which left me with the small problem of finding her a vehicle. Now, the panel shop did offer to lend her a car, but I was a little worried about any more retaining walls jumping out in front of her. I declined the offer. The plan I came up with was to use her old car: a 2014 Ford Focus that was sitting in front of the eldest son’s unit (where it has been since he got the car he wanted for work and play). Now, he was the last person to drive it and he is well over 6ft (183cm). When I got in it, I just moved the seat forward and thought it was good to go. I gave it a wash and a vacuum and took it for spin around the block. I marvelled at how well it still drove and was comfortable in handing it over to Old Mate for a week or so.
I went to work the next morning and didn’t really give it another thought until I got home, shortly followed by Old Mate, who had been volunteering at an aged care facility that has an aviary she looks after. Now, as we get older, we seem to shrink somewhat: in my case, not around the guts but height-wise. Old Mate is no exception to the height thing, either. She has not driven this car for about three years. She had forgotten how to adjust the height of the seat. She could move it forward but not up. As it happened, she drove off on her errand and could barely see over the steering wheel. Amazingly, she did the trip there and back like that, which was very stressful. Thankfully, no retaining walls jumped out in front of her. She was going on about maybe sitting on a cushion to see – until I showed her how to adjust the seat. Of course, this was my fault because I hadn’t adjusted the seat for her when I handed it over. Begrudgingly, I had to agree with her. Old age has its downfalls. Height and memory lost the battle on this occasion. I must say, she might be short but her attitude is 6 foot.
W
e live in an age of linguistic caution. We think before commenting on someone’s age, ethnicity, gender or disability. We have learnt that unsolicited observations about another person’s physical characteristics are best left inside our brains. Yet, there remains one curious exception to this enlightened social contract: height. As a short person, I have spent a lifetime receiving information people think I was previously unaware of. “You’re tiny.” Really? I had no idea. “You’re small for an adult.” It depends on your perspective. And then there are the jokes: “Stand up for yourself! Oh, you are” and “How’s the weather down there?” We shorties are not mentally impaired and are not suffering from height denial: every driver’s seat and kitchen cupboard has already reminded us of our stature. Imagine making similar observations about any other physical attribute: “Morning, Al. Still got that full-sleeve tatt, hey?” or “Hello, Mary. I see your rather large nose remains where it was yesterday.” Others would rightly regard such
comments as bizarre. Yet, with height, we all just roll with it. While Queensland’s Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 protects people from prejudice on a range of attributes including age, race, sex and impairment, height is not among them. Shorties could lawfully be denied a job or a service because they are small. The legislation was designed to address serious and significant forms of discrimination – and rightly so. But the omission does highlight that laws and manners are not always the same thing. Society often talks about respect, inclusion and psychological safety. Yet, a person can walk into a meeting room and have their height commented on before they’ve opened their mouth. It might be the last bastion of physical traits that people feel comfortable commenting on to a stranger. Perhaps the answer is not legal protection but simple restraint. A useful rule of thumb might be this: if a person cannot change a physical characteristic in the time it takes to make the joke, there is probably little point making it. And if your first utterance to another human being is about their height, you’re standing a little short on material. And yes, I have heard that joke, too.

CHASING YIELD IN A RISING-RATE WORLD Sydney apartment developer Bathla collapsed last month, owing more than $3.4billion. More than 2500 half-built apartments now sit idle, tradespeople are chasing unpaid bills, and families who paid deposits are waiting to find out what happens next. For investors, the more important question is: who lent Bathla the money? Most of it didn’t come from the big banks. More than $3billion came from ‘private credit’ lenders, which are investment funds that pool money from investors, including everyday retirees, and lend it to businesses the banks won’t touch. Private credit is simply a loan made by someone other than a bank. In Australia, the sector has grown more than sixfold since 2015 to around $250billion. It became popular because it promised returns of 8-13 per cent at a time when term deposits paid very little. Those higher returns come with higher risks. Between 40 and 60 per cent of Australian private credit is lent to property developers – a sector under pressure from rising interest rates and falling property prices. Valuations are often based on the fund manager’s own modelling rather than a market price. When problems appear, investors can get stuck. After Bathla collapsed, one fund manager temporarily froze withdrawals
myweeklypreview.com.au
from two of its funds. Corporate regulator the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has warned the sector will keep showing “significant cracks”. Regulators here and overseas are stepping up their scrutiny. The Reserve Bank has lifted the cash rate from 3.6 to 4.35 per cent this year, and the Australian 10-year government bond now yields about 5.2 per cent: the highest in 15 years. The picture is similar overseas. The US 10-year Treasury yield hit 5 per cent recently for the first time since July 2007, driven by rising oil prices and inflation worries. In Japan, which had near-zero rates for decades, the 10-year bond yield rose to 3 per cent on September 15, near its highest level in three decades. Higher rates mean investors are well paid for lending money, but they also make loans harder to repay. The borrowers most likely to struggle are the ones private credit tends to lend to. With safe government bonds now paying around 5 per cent, investors no longer need to take large risks to earn a decent income. The small, extra return from private credit doesn’t justify the risk of losing capital or being unable to access money. That’s why we prefer corporate bonds issued by two types of borrowers: 1. Infrastructure owners such as toll roads, airports and energy networks. These are essential services with steady, predictable income that can hold up in a downturn. 2. The major Australian banks. They are heavily regulated, must hold large capital buffers, and are among the most financially strong institutions in the country.

TOURISM INDUSTRY LEADERS CONNECT AT COAST FORUM
T
he future of tourism, investment and destination development will be in the spotlight at an upcoming event. The Sunshine Coast Tourism Forum will bring together tourism, business and industry leaders for a morning of discussion and connection. Proudly sponsored by KPAT Hotels, the forum will be hosted by Queensland Tourism Award winner and Visit Sunshine Coast Board member Josh Donohoe, who will lead the conversation and facilitate a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges ahead for the region. A key speaker will be Bridget Woods, deputy director-general of tourism at the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI). With more than 30 years’ experience in tourism development and strategy across Australia and internationally, Ms Woods brings extensive industry knowledge to the forum. Before joining DETSI, she spent five years as director of destination development at Neom in Saudi Arabia, where she led the Tourism Development portfolio for the ambitious tourism project. Her career has also included senior tourism roles in Queensland, including director of tourism and events at Townsville Enterprise. Ms Woods is now involved in driving Queensland’s Destination 2045 Strategy, which is focused on regional growth and preparing the state for future opportunities,
Bridget Woods including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Her keynote will examine the future of tourism in Queensland and the potential opportunities for the Coast as the region prepares for continued growth and major events. The forum will feature Kenneth Wagner, managing director of KPAT Hotels, who will discuss his career in tourism and the company’s investment in the region, including Avani Mooloolaba Beach. Mr Wagner will join Ms Woods and Andrew Fairbairn, senior tourism industry lead at Sunshine Coast Council, for a Q&A panel exploring the region’s tourism outlook, investment opportunities and future direction. The forum is on Wednesday, September 30, from 6.45-9am, at Avani Mooloolaba Beach. Visit businessmooloolaba.com/about/events/

WHY WE NEED TO ‘EAT THE RAINBOW’
H
ave you ever noticed how some of the most vibrant foods in nature are deep red, purple, blue and pink? Think cherries, blueberries, cranberries, beetroot and purple cabbage. These rich colours aren’t just visually appealing: they’re a sign that these foods contain beneficial plant compounds known as polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally occurring plant chemicals that help protect plants from environmental stress. When we eat a wide variety of polyphenol-rich foods, we’re also increasing the diversity of plant compounds in our diet. They contribute
to the colour, flavour and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables and form an important part of a varied, plant-rich eating pattern. Could you benefit from more polyphenols? – Take a moment to think about your current diet. Do you: • eat the same foods most days? • struggle to fit enough fruits and vegetables into your meals? • rarely eat berries, cherries, beetroot or colourful vegetables? • want to add more variety and plant diversity to your diet? • feel like your meals could use a little more colour? If so, increasing your intake of
polyphenol-rich foods may be a simple and delicious place to start. Tart cherries: nature’s evening favourite – If you find it difficult to unwind at the end of a busy day or you’re looking to support your evening routine, tart cherry juice is a popular option. Rich in anthocyanins – the compounds responsible for their deep-red colour, they also contain small amounts of naturally occurring melatonin: a hormone involved in regulating the body’s sleep/wake cycle. Tart cherries can also help exercise recovery and post-exercise wellbeing. Blueberries: small but mighty – Wild blueberries are among the richest sources of polyphenols found in commonly eaten fruits. Despite their small size, they provide an impressive range of plant compounds and are often recognised for their antioxidant content. If you’re experience mental fatigue during a busy week or find yourself looking for nourishing snack options, adding blueberries to smoothies, yoghurt, porridge or snacks is a simple way to increase dietary antioxidants through their rich polyphenol content. Other berries deserve attention, too – Strawberries, raspberries, elderberries, and cranberries all contain their own unique mix of polyphenols. The key is variety. Different berries provide different beneficial compounds, making it worthwhile to rotate them throughout the week. Beetroot: more than just a juice trend – Beetroot has become a favourite among health-conscious consumers, and for good reason. It has proven antiinflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant actions, as well as being excellent for heart and liver health. If you’re looking to bring more variety to your meals, try adding beetroot to
salads, roasting it with vegetables, blending it into smoothies or incorporating it into fresh juices. Purple cabbage: an underrated superfood – Purple cabbage is one of the most affordable and versatile polyphenolrich vegetables available. Adding purple cabbage to salads, slaws, stir-fries, or fermented foods such as sauerkraut is an easy way to increase plant diversity on your plate. Choosing organic when you can – Many berries are among the most heavily sprayed, conventionally grown crops, with strawberries frequently appearing high on consumer lists of produce monitored for pesticide residues. Choosing organic or spray-free berries and cherries can be a mindful way to reduce exposure to agricultural chemicals while supporting organic farming practices. Bringing more colour to your day – The simplest way to enjoy the benefits of polyphenol-rich foods is to focus on variety. Add berries to breakfast, include colourful vegetables at lunch and dinner, enjoy tart cherry or elderberry juice, and experiment with foods such as beetroot and purple cabbage throughout the week. Rather than looking for a single ‘superfood’, think about creating a colourful plate filled with a diverse range of plant foods. Nature has provided us with an incredible palette of nourishing ingredients. By eating more colour, we can bring more variety, diversity and enjoyment to our meals – one vibrant bite at a time.

‘THE OTHER DOCTOR SAID …’ – THE REASONS LASER RECOMMENDATIONS SOMETIMES DIFFER
HPV VACCINATIONS URGED AS CERVICAL CANCER COULD SOON BE ELIMINATED
Patients sometimes arrive at EyeHub quite confused. One clinic recommended LASIK. Another suggested SMILE PRO. Someone else said laser surgery was unsuitable. How do qualified doctors reach different conclusions? Refractive surgery is not selected from your glasses prescription alone. The recommendation depends on the shape, thickness and strength of your cornea, tear-film health, pupil behaviour, prescription stability, age, lifestyle and long-term visual needs. Different clinics often use different diagnostic equipment, screening protocols and thresholds for treatment. EyeHub takes a specialist-led approach. Assessment examines more than whether laser treatment is technically possible. Detailed corneal imaging, topography and other specialised diagnostic technology are used to identify subtle irregularities, dry-eye factors and structural concerns that influence safety, healing or visual quality. Some of this testing is not routinely included in every refractive assessment.
Young women are being urged to get their human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations. Modelling shows cervical cancer could be eradicated in a matter of years, thanks to the vaccine and screening. The Sunshine Coast Public Health Unit says the vaccination has reduced the prevalence of HPV by about 90 per cent in vaccine-eligible people, since it was introduced 20 years ago. “It’s been so successful that they think they can eradicate cervical cancer by about 2035,” Sunshine Coast Health immunisation public health nurse Holly Whitfield says. “So, we’re hoping if we can keep those immunisation rates high, as well as people having that cervical screening, we’ll be able to eradicate it hopefully even earlier – by 2028.” HPV is transmitted through skin and sexual contact. The virus is so common that around 90 per cent of people will contract one of the strains at some stage in their lives. The vaccination protects against high-risk strains of the virus, which can
The broader assessment sometimes leads to the recommendation of a different laser procedure, a lens-based option such as an Implantable Collamer Lens or Refractive Lens Exchange, further treatment before surgery or no surgery at all. A recommendation against laser does not mean nothing can be done. Another pathway might better suit your eyes. Eyehub has the responsibility to explain the findings, discuss options and outline benefits, limitations and risks. No procedure suits every patient, and no technology guarantees freedom from glasses. If you have received conflicting advice, bring your previous results to EyeHub. They will be reviewed alongside Eyehub’s own testing, with the reasons behind the recommendations explained. Visit eyehub.net.au
Public health nurse – immunisations Holly Whitfield and public health physician Dr Nicolas Smoll lead to cancers. The HPV vaccination is offered as part of the School Immunisation Program for all girls and boys in Year 7. “It’s really important for both men and women to have it, especially in school. The earlier they can get it, the better it works,” Holly says. It’s also available at GPs and pharmacies for people under 26, who didn’t get the vaccination at school. Catch-up vaccinations can be received at local healthcare providers. Vaccinations for school-aged children are also available at the Child Health free drop-in clinic at Maroochydore, from 2-6pm.

Asset rich but cash flow poor You may own a valuable home, have a healthy superannuation balance and perhaps hold an investment property, yet still wonder whether you can comfortably afford to retire. This is more common than you might think. Looking wealthy on paper does not always translate into having the cash flow to support the life you want. Your home may have increased significantly in value, but it does not pay for everyday expenses. Your super may be substantial but deciding how much to draw can feel unsettling when you do not know how long it needs to last. The real question is not simply, “What are my assets worth?” It is: “How can my assets support the life I want to live?” The answer may involve decisions about retaining or selling property, using superannuation to create income, allowing for future expenses and keeping enough flexibility for the unexpected. These decisions are rarely straightforward because tax, investment risk, family needs and estate planning can all play a part. A clear financial strategy can help turn accumulated wealth into sustainable income, giving greater confidence to enjoy what you have worked so hard to build. That’s because financial security is not only about what you own, it is about knowing your money can support your life.

A healthy brain and a healthy plan
Lending outlook remains strong
I spent an interesting morning at the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Thompson Institute recently, learning about its Healthy Brain Ageing research. It wasn’t all lectures and brain scans – there were interactive exhibits, activities and even some dancing! The research is particularly important given dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is now Australia’s leading cause of death, accounting for almost one-in-10 deaths in 2024. But there was also an encouraging message. We heard that at least 45 per cent of dementia risk may be potentially modifiable. Looking after our brains as we age isn’t about one magic solution. Staying physically active, eating well, getting good-quality sleep, practising mindfulness and maintaining social connections can all form part of a brain-healthy lifestyle. The research presented was a great reminder that ageing is inevitable, but there are things we can do to give our brains the best chance of ageing well. Exercise your body to protect your brain – and exercise your brain to get your estate planning done while there can be no question about your capacity. Congratulations to the Thompson Institute team for its fascinating and important work helping us better understand healthy brain ageing.
There’s been plenty of discussion across the lending industry recently as lenders, brokers and regulators respond to changing market conditions and lending requirements. While some restrictions have been introduced, there are also new opportunities to help customers achieve their property goals. Many lenders are reviewing policy settings and looking for ways to diversify their lending solutions. This means brokers are spending more time exploring alternative lender options, niche policies, and specialist products that may better suit individual needs. Importantly, lending remains open. First-home buyers continue to benefit from a range of support measures and competitive lending options. Homeowners looking to upgrade are finding opportunities as lenders compete for quality borrowers, while refinancing remains a valuable strategy for customers seeking improved flexibility, lower repayments, or access to equity. We’re also seeing growing interest in alternative solutions such as reverse mortgages. The current environment highlights the value of working with a mortgage broker. While lending policies continue to evolve, there are still opportunities available for borrowers. A broker can help navigate the changing landscape, identify suitable solutions and provide guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.

Find out how to become prep ready Ask a kindy teacher what matters most before prep and they rarely say letters or numbers. They will say: “Talking.” Talking is how a four-year-old joins a game, asks for help, sorts out a disagreement and tells you what happened at kindy. Here is a rule of thumb you can use tonight at home. By four, a stranger at the shops should understand almost everything your child says. At three, about three-quarters. If you are still translating for your child, that is worth a conversation. Some children catch up. The tricky part is that nobody can pick who will catch up just from the outside. The kindy year is the window where support does the most work for the least effort. A check-in costs you 20 minutes and often ends in reassurance.

relationships and navigate the challenges that can arise in friendships. As part of this approach, the school has implemented the URSTRONG Program. URSTRONG’s whole-school friendship strategy has improved the social climate in schools around the world, connecting more than a million
children, parents and teachers with a common language of friendship. Recently, students celebrated Friendship Day: an opportunity to recognise the importance of kindness, inclusion and connection. While the day is always a highlight for students, it also reinforces values that
contribute to a positive and supportive school environment. Throughout the year, these messages are supported through the URSTRONG Program, which provides students with practical strategies for building and maintaining healthy friendships. Students learn how to manage conflict, communicate respectfully and support one another through the ups and downs that are a normal part of growing up. Research shows that strong peer relationships can have a significant impact on a child’s wellbeing, engagement and sense of belonging at school. When students feel connected to their peers, they are more likely to participate confidently in learning and develop the social skills that support success in and beyond the classroom. At Sunshine Coast Grammar School, creating a culture where every student feels valued and included is an important part of school life. Initiatives and programs such as Friendship Day and URSTRONG help strengthen that culture by giving students the tools to build positive relationships and contribute to a supportive community.

CROSSWORD
HOROSCOPES
ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
This week’s stars highlight romantic and platonic partnerships, intimacy, secrets, trust issues and joint finances. With Saturn in Aries (until 2028) you will make messy mistakes and experience disappointments along the way. But don’t let them deter you from your chosen path.
Professional projects, family matters and close relationships are all highlighted this week. Expect some stressful moments as Saturn and Pluto test commitment and perseverance, but don’t get bogged down with power games, negative self-talk and constant criticism.
The sun and Mercury are moving through your leisure zone, so sharing a sport or hobby with a loved one brings mutual benefits. But don’t promise more time and effort than you can actually deliver, especially on Friday and Saturday.

SOLUTIONS
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
Expect the unexpected. This week Mars charges into your sign and Uranus links up with the sun (your ruling planet) which can lead to impulsive behaviour and rash decisions. So slow down and think things through before you speak and act.
Calling all Virgos – are you making the most of your clever mind? This week Venus and Mercury (your patron planet) activate your communication and education zone. So lively conversation, passionate debate, detailed research and creative thinking will take you far.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22) Financial matters, joint finances, secret deals and trust issues are on the table. But don’t spoil a potentially productive week by being gung-ho and reckless. Saturn highlights hiccups in your financial management, so strive to be less impulsive and extravagant. LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
Luxury-loving Librans adore being pampered and preened but it’s time to jump out of your comfort zone and shake up your usual routine. On Monday and Tuesday, Uranus trines the sun (in your sign) which encourages doing things differently, as you banish boredom.
This week, with the sun and Mercury in your solitude zone, you’re not in the mood to mingle. So keep a low profile as you relax, recharge and self-nurture. With ?tricky Mercury/ Mars/Pluto aspects, secrets from the past could boomerang back, as old karma catches up with you.
Your ruler Jupiter (planet of optimism, growth and prosperity) is jumping through your adventure zone. Over the next ten months, it will be easier to initiate positive changes than at other times. So make the most of the opportunities that are around.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
The sun’s in your career zone, so utilise your drive and skills to attract opportunities. Then use your can-do attitude to take action. There could be a setback (especially on the weekend) but Mercury and Venus (in your hopes and wishes zone) remind you to keep setting goals.
Flirt alert. With enthusiastic Mars, Jupiter and Uranus in your relationship zones (plus the sun and Mercury in romantic Libra) you’re at your flirtatious best as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters. (When Aquarians are in charm mode, you’re hard to resist.)
Neptune (your ruler) and Saturn are transiting through your personal money zone. And this week, Saturn opposes the sun in your ‘moneyfrom-others’ zone. So any recent financial gains could be gobbled up by burgeoning bills, increasing expenses and/or impulse buys.

‘STILL REAL CONFIDENCE RUNNING THROUGH MARKET’ Flagship auction event draws 300 on the day, competing for over 100 properties, with more than 60 offers presented to sellers.
T
he Ray White Coastal Living Network’s flagship auction event has celebrated its 11th year with more than $40million in sales, achieving a clearance rate above the Queensland average. More than 300 people packed into Mercedes Benz Sunshine Coast to compete for over 100 properties, drawing together all five offices across the region. The four-week lead-up campaign saw 2019 buyers inspect properties, just under 1100 open homes conducted, and more than 60 offers presented to the auction sellers. “Those numbers tell you there’s still real confidence running through this market,” Ray White Mooloolaba and Kawana Waters director James Goldsworthy says. “We helped 31 sellers secure a sale, and with negotiations continuing on a number of properties, we expect more over the coming days.” For sellers, the numbers point to genuine strength. For buyers, the message from the day was just as clear: this is a market with real opportunity, but the competition for the right property remains fierce.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $40,865,700 in total sales across the campaign • 100+ properties taken to auction • 300+ in the room at Mercedes Benz Sunshine Coast • top sale: $3,775,000 – 1105/67 Sixth Avenue, Maroochydore • standout turnaround: $3,000,000 – Twin Waters waterfront home, sold in two weeks after 10 months on market with another agency; second-highest price ever recorded in Twin Waters “Although the market has rebalanced and buyers now have more choice, 59 genuine bidders still missed out on the day – either being outbid or because the gap between price expectations was too much to bridge,” auctioneer and director of Ray White Maroochydore and Buderim Dan Sowden says. That’s a reminder that while conditions have eased in buyers’ favour overall, well-presented, well-located properties are still drawing serious competition – meaning that buyers who are prepared and clear on their limits
going in are best placed to succeed. The top sale of the program was 1105/67 Sixth Avenue, Maroochydore: a sub-penthouse in The Rise, which sold for $3,775,000. The buyer had just settled the sale of their own apartment in the same building. “It was quite a serendipitous moment,” Ray White Maroochydore marketing agent Reuben Park says. “The buyer bumped into me in the lift as they were preparing to leave their unit and asked what I was doing. So, I showed them through the subpenthouse. Three hours later they’d bought

it, securing the property prior to auction with an offer the owner couldn’t refuse.” Dan says they’ve always seen auctions as giving sellers three chances to sell: prior, under the hammer and shortly after. “With negotiations continuing, we expect the final success rate to land in the mid-60 per cent range in the coming days,” he says.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water
The Pyramids make up one of the great wonders of the world, with mystery surrounding how the hell they were built. Another equally amazing and certainly puzzling question is: why do grown, overweight men wear Lycra? Yep, not even artificial intelligence has that answer. So, I guess the short answer to this is: to go faster? But if they lost a few kilos, would that not work? And maybe not have the cake at the coffee shop? Not much doing in the region of surf. So, maybe get some Lycra and go for a ride ... said no one ever!
