Mechelle aims to keep cancer on the run MECHELLE Daisy Dintino is battling cancer and chemotherapy treatment but that hasn’t stopped her from setting her sights on running the 5.7km event at the Gold Coast Marathon in July. The Biggera Waters local was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer last year, and had to undergo surgery at the end of 2018 and in January this year. She is undergoing chemo but is determined to take part in the fun run in July. A volunteer at the 2018 marathon, she was inspired to participate this year and raise funds for Cancer Council Queensland in memory of a friend who passed away from breast cancer. She began training at the gym and going for regular runs, not knowing she had breast cancer herself. “I had a lump under my arm, which I was told was a cyst but I was still a bit concerned,” she said. Her doctor referred her for blood tests but Ms Dintino said as soon as she got home, she forgot about them. “Six months later, my partner found the form and urged me to get the blood test done,” she said. “Three days later, I was told I had stage two breast cancer.” After two rounds of surgery, Ms Dintino said she was relieved not to have had a mastectomy. “But soon after the operations, depression set in. I just felt hopeless,” she said. “Fortunately, I had my partner, family and friends to keep me going.” Despite the chemotherapy, she is determined to take part in the Gold Coast Marathon. “I’ll walk if I have to — and if I am not well enough, I’ll stand on the sidelines and cheer for my friends and family who are planning to walk with me,” she said. “I’m glad I started training last year as being fit and healthy has helped me recover well from the two operations. It has also made my body stronger for chemotherapy.” Ms Dintino said she was looking for-

ward to being a member of the Cancer Council Queensland team. Cancer Council Queensland is the main beneficiary of Gold Coast Marathon and chief executive Chris McMillan said those who took part would bring hope to people touched by cancer. “At least one third of all cancer cases is preventable through healthy lifestyle choices, including being active and main-
taining a healthy weight,” she said. Participants can take part in the 42km Gold Coast Marathon, Wheelchair Marathon, ASICS Half Marathon, Wheelchair 15km, Southern Cross University 10km run, Gold Coast Airport 5.7km Fun Run or the Garmin 4km and 2km Junior Dash.

Qantas weighs Boeing MAX order The Qantas boss is confident the 737 MAX will return to the skies safely after two crashes killed 346 people, writes Patrick Hatch. Qantas boss Alan Joyce is so confident Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft will return to the skies safely that he will consider buying the grounded jet to replace his airline’s domestic fleet. But after two crashes in the space of six months killed 346 people, Mr Joyce and other airline chief executives who gathered in Seoul this week know it will take more than a software update before passengers feel safe on board Boeing’s newest and fastest-ever selling aeroplane. ‘‘The incidents that occurred were unbelievably tragic,’’ Mr Joyce said on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association’s annual meeting. ‘‘This industry is all about continuous improvement. Boeing is a massively good engineering operation – they will fix this, they will get the problems resolved.’’ The Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October and the Ethiopia Airlines disaster outside Addis Ababa in March triggered the grounding of all MAX aircraft worldwide, while a new cockpit software linked to both crashes is updated and approved by regulators. Th i no There is timeline set for when the newest variant of Boeing’s long-standing 737 short-haul workhorse will return to service, with airline bosses’ estimates spanning from August to after Christmas. The saga has damaged trust in the industry’s safety system ‘‘among regulators, between regulators and the industry and with the flying public’’, according to IATA’s director-general, Alexandre de Juniac. Mr Joyce compared the MAX situation to when a faulty oil pipe
caused an engine on a Qantas Airbus A380s to explode soon after flight QF32 took off from Singapore in November 2010. ‘‘When we put the aircraft back in the air, people were worried and we had people say they didn’t want to travel on the A380,’’ he said. ‘‘But confidence was installed in the aircraft pretty quickly.’’ In a show of faith, Mr Joyce was the first passenger on the super-jumbo when it finally returned to Sydney 16 months later, flown by the same crew who were on board when disaster nearly struck. ‘‘Boeing, in particular, and the regulator have to say why they believe the issues that did occur have now been fully fixed, and they have to be clear communicating it to give people that confidence back,’’ Mr Joyce said. For Air New Zealand boss Christopher Luxon, the damage to the aviation industry isn’t as bad as some have made out. ‘‘When you get radical innovation on aircraft on software, there’s always a learning curve,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s obviously a tragic situation, but I don’t think there’s a loss of trust in aviation at all.’’ He pointed to the statistics: globally, 523 people died in commercial airline crashes in 2018, out of 4.4 billion passengers. By comparison, 1146 people died in road accidents in Australia last year. ‘‘So it’s a very safe system fundamentally,’’ Mr Luxon said. ‘‘I bli think the public hi k h understand that at some level; that it’s regulated, that it’s safe.’’ More than rattling just passengers, the
MAX crisis has caused a rift between the world’s air safety regulators. For three decades, nations have recognised each other’s safety certifications for new aircraft, avoiding the costly and time-consuming process of running safety checks each time a plane flies to a new country. But that system is cracking. The MAX was grounded at different times in different places, with China the first to act and the US the last. In a significant shift, Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority broke with the US Federal Aviation Administration and grounding the plane a day before its American counterpart. Now, the European Union and Canada have signalled they will do their own assessments before letting the MAX back into service, rather than simply accepting the FAA’s decision, as they did when it first certified the aircraft. Lufthansa chief executive Carsten Spohr said he expected the MAX would start flying domestic US services before it is cleared to fly elsewhere in the world – which would undermine efforts to restore public confidence. ‘‘It’s difficult to explain to our passengers that an airplane is safe in some parts of the world and supposedly not safe somewhere else,’’ Mr Spohr told the conference. Singapore Airlines – which along with Fiji Airways was one of two airlines flying MAX aircraft to Australia, under its SilkAir brand – needed approval from a ‘‘minimum viable’’ number of countries before it would be worth returning its six grounded MAXs to service, said the airline’s CEO, Goh Choon Phong.

Towards the end of the year Qantas will start a tender for new planes to replace its ageing 737 fleet, and Mr Joyce said the 737 MAX would still be a contender. Buying the aircraft would set up the MAX to become the dominant aircraft in Australian skies. Virgin Australia has 48 MAXs on order, but in April it pushed back its first deliveries from November this year to July 2021, reflecting both its own difficult financial position and concerns about the MAX’s safety. Qantas will be assessing the MAX against Airbus’ A320NEOs, and has also expressed interest in Boeing’s larger ‘‘New Middle Market’’ aeroplane concept which could carry more passengers between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane’s congested runways. In a further headache for the world’s biggest plane maker, Boeing said overnight that more than 737s, including some MAXs, had potential flaws on wing slats that would have to be replaced. The reporter travelled to Seoul as a guest of IATA and Korean Air.
The saga has damaged trust in the industry’s safety system.

Export centre should be ours TOOWOOMBA should bow out of the race for a $10 million new airport freight export centre gracefully. Let’s face it, the southwestern city has nothing on Cairns and the Far North. For starters only three airlines fly to Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and they are domestic carriers. There are no international flights and our proximity to Asia is closer and far easier. Asian markets want fresh seafood such as coral trout and prawns and Toowoomba is more than 130km from the coast. We have beef too and high-quality dairy products plus a myriad of other sought-after horticultural products such as bananas, avocadoes, mangoes, papaya, potatoes, lychees and citrus fruits. Toowoomba and surrounds might be famous for its beef and sheep and a few vegetables, while stonefruit and grapes are 150km south at Stanthorpe. Our Tablelands’ produce is 60km west of Cairns Airport while seafood can be offloaded mere kilometres away. Cairns has already knocked Townsville out of the way so it’s time for Toowoomba to pull the pin as well. Toowoomba has already snared the Qantas Pilot Academy from Mareeba. So come on, let’s be fair dinkum. Stop being greedy. Cairns Airport should be driving hard. In 2015/2016 an airside international airfreight hub was part of the Cairns Airport expansion master plans and these plans need to be revived and matched by a similar financial commitment from the airport. In light of Cathay-Pacific axing services, Cairns should be looked upon favourably. Nick Dalton Deputy editor

Union weights on Adani CFMMEU makes a few miner points about jobs
RENEE VIELLARIS
FEDERAL POLITICAL EDITOR
THE CFMMEU is muscling up for a special agreement with Adani, demanding it reveal how it would staff the mine and warning not to let down members “who have supported your project in good faith”. Just days after the construction arm of the CFMMEU told Annastacia Palaszczuk she “risked being taken for a ride by a shonky multinational with a chequered corporate history” if she rushed to approve the project, the mining and energy division yesterday asked to be rewarded. The letter sent yesterday signals the union wants an enterprise bargaining agreement giving its members lucrative pay and conditions. A unionised mining site can make it harder to hire contractors and fly-in fly-out workers. In the letter to Adani chief executive Lucas Dow, mining and energy division general president Tony Maher asked for urgent clarification on the jobs that would be provided. “Your proposed project has received much support in Queensland, including from union members on the ground it will generate good local jobs,’’ Mr Maher wrote. “If the project is approved, I am eager to ensure the support it has received is not misplaced. The Carmichael mine project has the potential to provide quality employment to thousands of locals over the years ahead, but this outcome cannot be relied upon unless you are willing to provide
some undertakings.” He demanded eight “frank answers”, including how people many Adani would hire, if it would employ labour hire companies and whether it would rule out a casual or fixed-term workforce. “Mining can and should be a provider of quality employment for regional Australians. “Unfortunately, the industry hasn’t always held up its side of the bargain. “Union and community members who have supported your project in good faith, on the basis of local jobs, deserve to know they won’t be let down if the project proceeds.” Mr Dow last night confirmed the mine would create 1500 direct jobs and 6750 indirect jobs. “We have also stated that Adani will be engaging both direct employees and contracting partners,’’ he said. “We will not engage people with 457 visas. Our tender and recruitment processes are structured to ensure preference is given to regional Queensland workers and businesses.”

Airport fund is open for applications FROM feeding hungry young students to supporting a sanctuary for families escaping domestic violence, the Community Benefit Fund associated with Gold Coast Airport has benefited dozens of local community groups since its inception four years ago. This year’s Community Benefit Fund is open for applications with cash grants of up to $1000 on offer. The program is awarding cash grants to support initiatives in the categories of health and wellbeing, community safety, education, environment and sustainability and arts and culture for the fourth year in a row. The Community Benefit Fund is run by the airport’s parent company, Queensland Airports Limited (QAL), which has supported about 150 groups and initiatives since 2016, providing more than $150,000 in funding. Gold Coast Airport chief operating officer Marion Charlton said the airport was committed to advancing the Gold Coast and northern NSW regions and the Community Benefit Fund was an important vehicle to achieve that. “This fund works well for schools, sporting clubs, charities, community support services and surf clubs,” she said. “We are looking forward to hearing about more of the great things Gold Coast and northern NSW community groups are doing and supporting as many of them as we can. “Applications can be made online and take less than an hour.” Community groups that have received a grant from in
the past include local schools, sports clubs and daycare centres as well as the Animal Welfare League, Children’s Refuge and the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation. To receive a $1000 grant, groups need to demonstrate their ability to deliver positive outcomes in at least one of the nominated funding categories. Applications for this year’s Community Benefit Fund are open until June 23. To apply, visit www.goldcoastairport. com.au.
