What a week! Just when we thought the flooding couldn’t get any worse than what we experienced here on the Sunny Coast recently, our Brisbane and New South Wales neighbours have been smashed by heavy rains that have left a trail of devastation in their wake, leaving Brisbane with a clean-up bill of more than $1 billion. But what this natural disaster has also highlighted is the courage of those affected to pick themselves up and start again, and the kindness of complete strangers who have put their hand up to help them. We salute you. It certainly restores one’s faith in humankind, especially given what is happening overseas right now as Russia continues to wage war on Ukraine. Our thoughts and prayers go to the men, women and children caught up in the atrocity.

THIS WEEK – Keyboard warriors join the 8 AGENDA war against Russia.

AGENDA

Keyboard warriors join

the war Wanting to help Ukrainians in the ﬁght against Russia but unable or unwilling to ﬂy to Ukraine, many people around the world are taking to their computers. WORDS: AAP.

he Australian government has asked its citizens not to travel to Ukraine to fight, but many are tapping into online solidarity for the stricken nation. Whether sharing heartfelt memes or joining the call to ‘arms’ by the hacking collective Anonymous, it’s not all about boots on the ground. Known as ‘tactical s***posting’, short videos are being made by Ukrainian solders and others and shared worldwide by keyboard warriors. Twitter user Peedu Tuisk, based in the Estonian cyber heartland of Tallinn, shares a Ukrainian soldier’s choice words, with English subtitles that explicitly explain it is Russia’s last chance to surrender. Some posts, also not verifiable, say they have come across unhappy Russian solders who thought they were on a training exercise but would be shot as deserters if they tried to go home. One meme, Geography 101, shows a map with Russia clearly marked and its

neighbour Ukraine and the Crimea as ‘not Russia’, Romania ‘does it look like Russia?’ Poland as ‘this is not Russia’, others as ‘nope’, ‘no’, ‘still not’, and the proud Baltic states ‘also not Russia’. Some posts show Ukrainian soldiers saving a freezing puppy, who subsequently stands guard at their post and has been named Rambo. However, Russia is also peddling its own information, or misinformation. “Russian propaganda has gone off the rails and speculates Ukraine might be preparing to drop a ‘dirty bomb’ on the Russian territory,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted. “This is a sick fake,” he says. “Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, doesn’t conduct any work to create/acquire them.” SBS swiftly moved to suspend the broadcast of news bulletins NTV Moscow and Russia Today, in response to community feedback from the Australian Russian-speaking community about misinformation.

Other simple memes show how words matter, such as this one: “The capital of Ukraine is Kyiv. Kyiv (pronounced Keev) is the transliteration from Ukrainian. Kiev (pronounced Key-ev) is the Russian transliteration. As one small way to stand with the Ukrainian people, try to stick to the first spelling and pronunciation.” Some repeat the words of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after he was offered an escape route by the US: “I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition.” Other exhortations include a call for volunteers by Ukraine’s foreign minister. “Foreigners willing to defend Ukraine and world order as part of the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine, I invite you to contact foreign diplomatic missions of Ukraine in your respective countries,” Mr Kuleba tweeted. “Together we defeated Hitler, and we will defeat Putin, too.” However, Australians who travel to fight in Ukraine with a non-government

armed group, on either side of the conflict, or who recruit someone else to do so, may be committing a criminal offence, Foreign Minister Marise Payne has warned. “It is very important for individuals who may seek to do this, to be clear of the provisions of Australian laws that may apply to their activity,” she says. “Frankly, I would strongly encourage them to observe the travel advice, which is do not travel.” Ukraine’s head of mission in Australia Volodymyr Shalkivskyi says his embassy fielded about 20 calls in one day from people wanting to head over and fight the Russians, according to the ABC. “We are grateful for all the Australians who are offering their assistance,” the charge d’affaires says. Officially, Australia has committed ‘cyber assistance’ to Ukraine through NATO, according to Senator Payne. But she won’t say whether that includes offensive cyber capabilities. “The Australian Cyber Security Centre is highly alert to the fact that Russia is a major cyber actor and is working very closely with other elements across the government,” Senator Payne says. The centre is encouraging businesses to deploy the cyber security they need including updating all software. “In terms of our engagements with Ukraine, we had previously provided cyber security support through defence training in the last year,” the minister adds. Meanwhile Australia is supporting US nuclear deterrence through military communications installations on home soil. A response has been sought about the legality of Australian hackers heeding the call from Anonymous to go to war.

FAST FACTS

A pretty penny!

The most expensive coin in the world was sold for more than $7 million. The 1933 Double Eagle was a $20 US coin made of gold that never went into circulation. A few of the coins were made, but most were destroyed, except for nine that were presumed stolen by US mint workers. After years circulating the globe and falling into the hands of a few notable owners – including the king of Egypt – one of the coins was auctioned off at Sotheby’s in 2002 for a stunning $7,590,020.

COVER STORY

‘Back to normal’ not enough for many women

post-pandemic economy could offer affordable childcare, generous paid parental leave and better pay and conditions in the care sector. “Ultimately an economy should be about people – it’s a means to an end, not an end in itself,”says chief executive of the Grattan Institute, Danielle Wood. Prime Minister Scott Morrison says one million more women are in jobs because of federal coalition government policies. But questions remain about a lost decade of wages growth, the quality of those jobs and everything that wraps around women who want to work more. “Why do we talk about tax policy? We worry about incentives to work or to save,” Ms Wood says. The president of Australia’s peak body for economists and co-founder of the Women in Economics Network says Australia should be thinking about other

12 My Weekly Preview | March 10, 2022

incentives such as affordable childcare. “We’re hand-wringing over the top marginal tax rate being 49 per cent and what that will do to work incentives and we’ve got women who are facing effective tax rates of 80, 90 or 100 per cent,” she says. Many economists – and parents – see accessible and affordable childcare as the single biggest measure for closing the gender equality gap and improving lifetime earnings. A multi-billion-dollar spend on childcare rebates took effect this week (March 7) under current government policy and Labor also plans to take a generous package to the next federal election. But if women with younger children want to work beyond three days a week, currently many end up losing all of their take-home pay on childcare – if they can get a place. Nor are most workplaces closing the gender pay gap, according to a scorecard

AAP

The workplace gender equality gap was wide before the pandemic and heading into 2022, economists and advocates fear many women have been left further behind. Governments and employers must make meaningful changes to help working women. WORDS: AAP

“The expectation is that women will work for very little” Danielle Wood, Grattan Institute

released last month. Six in 10 large Australian employers are making no progress and most pay men more than women, says the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. Data collected from private sector employers with more than 100 workers shows the gap in earnings has barely moved at 22.8 per cent, with women earning on average $25,800 less than men. Another key part of the gender economy debate is pay and conditions in the care sectors – childcare, aged care and disability care. “These are incredibly underpaid in terms of their social value and you can only conclude the reason that has persisted for so long is because they are femaledominated care sectors,” Ms Woods says. “The expectation is that women will work for very little but it is going to be a very significant long-term economic challenge myweeklypreview.com.au

7/03/2022 3:12:09 PM

COVER STORY if we’re not going to be able to get a pipeline of workers into those sectors.” Demand for those services is only forecast to grow. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg late last month told a business audience Australia will have a “great reshuffle” in the labour force as people seek better pay. But a breakdown of which one million women are getting the extra jobs cited by both Mr Morrison and his treasurer, where they live or how old they are, was not immediately available from the government. Some fear they’ll only see a great shuffle sideways. Women are also retiring from paid work with almost a third less saved than men. However, legislation was passed in the final hours of the parliamentary week that could make a difference. People working a handful of lowearning casual jobs to get a living wage have been missing out on any super from their employer and heading for poverty in retirement. The new law set to take effect from July will deliver on a promise made in last year’s Women’s Budget Statement. Benefiting women, and younger casual workers, a $450 per month earnings threshold on super has been scrapped. “Not only does it give them the same right to save for their future as other workers, it means an effective 10 per cent pay increase for some of our lowest paid workers,” says superannuation minister Jane Hume. Ms Woods says it’s a “no brainer”. “It did disproportionately affect women, who were more likely to be in those low-paid jobs,” she says. But Industry Super Australia says the federal government’s failure to pay super on top of government-funded parental leave has ripped $1.6 billion out of the retirement savings of working mothers. “The federal government is lagging and needs to follow the example of our best employers and pay super on its parental leave scheme,” ISA spokeswoman Georgia Brumby says. “This is an opportunity for the prime minister to show he is serious about women’s economic security.” More than 80 per cent polled in a

recent Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia survey said the federal government should introduce measures to boost the super balances of women who take time out to have children. The peak body has called for the introduction in the next federal budget of a $5000 Super Baby Bonus payable directly into superannuation following the birth or adoption of a child. The proposed payment could benefit up to 300,000 women per year and would be equivalent to the amount a person would receive from super contributions on a $60,000 wage for one year. ASFA chief executive Martin Fahy says there is a significant gap of 23.4 per cent in superannuation balances between men and women as they approach retirement. “Broken work patterns, COVID-19, and the early release of superannuation, which was used to help get Australians through the pandemic, have eroded the retirement savings of low-income earners and women in particular,” he says. “It is now essential that repair be undertaken to low-income earners and women’s retirement budgets through targeted assistance.” Ms Woods says paid parental leave also needs to be more generous and more gender equal, with better provisions for fathers and partners. For economists, it’s all about encouraging a permanent change in behaviour. “Men who take parental leave are more likely to be caring for children right up until the child is 10 and that creates more space for women to participate in the workforce where they want to do that,” she says. “As an economic policy, it actually leads to behaviour change; it creates scope for women to work more.” Economist Preston Tsamassiros uses a ‘domestic work’ and ‘market work’ index that shows a transfer of chores and a more equal long-term split in paid work over the decade following paternity leave taken. The transfer of housework from mothers to fathers is three hours a week or 20 days of full-time work a year in households that can get paternity leave, he says.

As well as a boost to GDP, there can be benefits for the mental wellbeing of fathers and partners and the intellectual and emotional development of the children. Grattan Institute advocates 26 weeks of paid parental leave for families or single parents. Parental leave pay available from the federal government is $772.55 per week, or $154.51 a day before tax, for a maximum 18 weeks. Dad and Partner Pay can be added – providing another 10 days – to bring it up to 20 weeks.

CHILDCARE SUBSIDY Around 250,000 families are set to benefit from the federal government’s increased Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which came into effect on Monday, March 7. On average, these families will be more than $2200 a year better off. Families earning less than $354,305 a year with two or more children aged five years and under in care will have their CCS rate increased by 30 percentage points for their second child and any younger children, up to a maximum rate of 95 per cent. More than half of eligible families will receive the maximum 95 per cent subsidy. A family earning $110,000 a year with two kids in care, four days a week, will be better off by around $100 each week. The $10,655 annual CCS cap was scrapped in December. Families already getting CCS don’t need to do anything. Services Australia will automatically increase the CCS for eligible second and younger children.

THE RESEARCH The COVID recession hit women hard. They lost more jobs than men – almost eight per cent at the peak of the crisis, compared with four per cent for men. They shouldered the increase in unpaid work – including supervising children learning remotely – taking on an extra hour each day more than men, on top of their existing heavier load. They were less likely to get government support – JobKeeper excluded short-term casuals, who in the hardest-hit industries are mostly women. Women now make up almost half the workforce, and they are overwhelmingly employed in the industries that were hit hardest by the government-imposed lockdowns, such as hospitality and tourism. Between February and May 2020, the construction sector lost less than five per cent of its work hours but got more than $35 billion of government assistance. In comparison, the hospitality sector lost more than 47 per cent of its work hours but got only about $1.3 billion of direct government assistance. Women who became unemployed or left work in the recession face longer-term impacts on their wages and career progression – six months out of work can add another $100,000 to the average $2 million lifetime earnings gap between men and women with children in Australia. The recommendation? Governments should inject more money into services sectors, childcare, and aged care, and rewrite the ‘rescue and recovery’ playbook before the next economic crisis.

NEWS

Easter is a time to support local After two years of aborted travel plans, lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, Australians are reading to get out and about and spend up this coming Easter. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

he countdown is on until the Easter holidays with a new survey indicating it could be a bumper season for Sunshine Coast tourism and retails sectors. It seems with many Australians forced into lockdown in 2021, 73 per cent of people have money to spend this Easter. This – coupled with strong intentions to travel within Australia, and indeed to the Sunshine Coast in 2022 – could inject thousands of dollars into the region’s economy. The survey, conducted by leading Australian financial comparison company

Savvy, found 58 per cent of the total 1003 people surveyed say they will be spending up to $500 during the Easter period. A further 23 per cent will spend between $500 and $1000, and an additional 14 per cent intend to spend between $1001 and $2000. Personal finance expert Bill Tsouvalas says consumer confidence is growing again thanks to continued encouragement to spend money in hospitality or tourism. “Our survey found people have savings they are eager to spend, with 56 per cent saying they will be visiting

shopping centres and 42 per cent saying they’ll go to restaurants this Easter,” Mr Tsouvalas says. “Money is burning a hole in Aussies’ pockets. This should be good for local hospitality and tourist destinations that rely on income from Easter visitors.” Locals are also tipped to spend big this Easter, with 45 per cent of people planning to stay home over the holidays. “This does not mean their wallets will remain closed, with 56 per cent of all respondents intending to visit shopping centres, and 52 per cent planning to eat

at restaurants,” Mr Tsouvalas says. “This means local hospitality and tourism operators can expect to prosper this Easter, as Australians spend their savings closer to home.” Shopping will be the most popular Easter activity among young people – at 63 per cent among 18- to 25-year-olds, and 61 per cent among 25- to 34-yearolds.

Finally time to party The brainchild of Coast musicians and Youturn Youth Support ambassadors Sam and Tim Aitken, the Youturn It Up Festival is ﬁnally going ahead next month. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

t is a festival inspired by the need to raise awareness for youth mental health, all while having a great time to an amazing line-up of music. Youturn It Up Festival is the brainchild of Sunshine Coast musical brothers and Youturn Youth Support ambassadors Sam and Tim Aitken, who form the band Sametime. Teaming up with Youturn in 2021, the Pelican Waters brothers came up with the concert as a way to raise money for Youturn’s mental health programs. Originally due to take place in April 2021, the festival has been cancelled twice and is finally going ahead at NightQuarter on April 9. The boys see how homelessness is affecting youth in the community,

Sametime’s Tim and Sam Aitken especially after the financial and emotional strains of the past two years. “Youturn do incredible work here on the Coast for local youth experiencing issues such as homelessness and mental health concerns,” Sam says. “It just blows our mind to see how many young people need the services that Youturn provides. “We are thrilled to be able to use our music to raise funds and awareness for such a worthy organisation. “So, come and party with us and have a great time but know that every single penny of profit from this night will go towards helping other young people here on the Sunny Coast doing it tough.” The brothers have re-imagined the original festival concept and have put together an amazing line-up of acts to

present in a nonstop five hours of highenergy music that includes three bands and three DJs. “We both like to party so we have made sure we have put together a line-up and a show that will keep us all partying from start to finish,” Sam says. “First and foremost, it’s about having an unbelievably awesome night with crazy good music, but underlying this is our commitment to raising awareness and much-needed funds for the charity we are ambassadors for,” Tim says. Youturn began 30 years ago in Noosa, and now provides child safety, homelessness and mental health support to people aged up to 25 across the Sunshine Coast and southern Queensland. In 2021 the charity supported more

than 5400 young people and provided almost 21,000 appointments. Youturn CEO Tanya Bell says the concert will fundraise for additional tools and innovative solutions to complement mental health programs that support young people while they wait for, or in between, their appointments. “We are noticing a marked rise in anxiety and school disengagement with young people reporting feeling anxious, unsupported or disconnected with feelings of isolation, resulting in low moods and motivation, unemployment and further mental health challenges,” Ms Bell says. “The rental crisis on the Sunshine Coast is another major impact on the mental health of young people, who report heightened anxiety about living arrangements, lockdowns forcing loss of work/shifts and the uncertainty around travel and seeing family.” Headlining the festival will be ARIAnominated Bombs Away and DJ/producer Brooke Evers. Other artists include local electro pop punk duo Sailing in Space, Brisbane DJ MOXYB, EDM alt pop outfit Acer Spade and the host band and organisers of the festival, Sametime.

Painter, writer and ceramic artist Gemma Troy’s life has been one of complete creativity. And she’s sharing more of that creativity as part of Open Studios Sunshine Coast. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

reativity is life for Gemma Troy, a Maroochydore artist who paints abstract art, writes poetry and makes ceramic fairies. A self-taught artist who studied a psychology degree in Canberra but never pursued it as a career, she draws on an adventurous childhood for inspiration. “I grew up on the south coast of New South Wales and my dad was a crazy gold fossicker,” she says. “We used to spend most of our weekends and summer holidays camping and being out in the bush. He would dredge or pan for gold. I’ve got four brothers and we’d be out in creeks and fern tree gullies. We’d find caves containing quartz crystals and old gold mines. It was a fun childhood and I was always creative.” Her mother made ice-cream and taught Ms Troy and all four brothers how to knit. “I think I get my creativity from her,” Ms Troy says. “My dad was an adventurer but a bit crazy. He never hit it big with his gold fossicking but he still does it to this day. “My paintings are abstract landscapes at the end of the day – a conversation back to when I was a child out in the bush. We would spend six weeks camping, so maybe they are taking me back to my childhood.” Ms Troy follows whatever creative urge

takes her fancy, unafraid to pick up a new medium and give it a go. Around five years ago, she began posting poetry to an Instagram page, which quickly gained a large following and attracted the attention of an international publisher. “I got an awesome book deal with a big publisher in America, Andrews McMeel,” she says. “At that time, I had 120,000 followers and when you have that exposure, it opens doors.” Ms Troy’s Instagram following is now at 235,000 and she has had three poetry books published, but the poetry bug that she was “obsessed with” at the time has taken a back seat to a new fascination with splashing acrylic paint on canvas. “I need constant new things to try,” she says. On her Instagram page she has posted about suffering ‘imposter syndrome’ with her poetry. “I still struggle with sharing it to this day,” she says. “You have to be willing to completely break yourself open for it to

mean anything, otherwise you’re just writing your thoughts and your thoughts are pretty boring. It’s a hard thing to do; to be that vulnerable and to share it with hundreds of thousands of people on social media.” But receiving messages from followers around the world makes it all worthwhile for this sensitive soul. “I’ve had amazing messages, heartbreaking messages,” she says. “One lady said her friend had committed suicide but her last post was one of my poems she put on Facebook about being strong. To some extent, I don’t think I realise how much my poetry does affect people. Then I’ll get a message like that and realise it’s bigger than me. Maybe it’s meant to be out there so I have to get over myself.” Ms Troy lives with her husband Jock and 15-year-old son Owen on an acre on the Maroochy River. She fills their home with fairies, vintage fairy books and dead moths and butterflies, which she collects.

Last year, Jock built a gorgeous little gallery on their property, which opened in October. “Everyone who comes to visit the gallery loves it,” Ms Troy says. “We’ve been together since I was 19 and I turned 40 last year so I’ve been with him longer than without him. This is my full-time gig and my husband pays the bills. I couldn’t do this if I didn’t have him. He’s always been very supportive of all my crazy ideas.” Ms Troy’s gallery, which opens only on Saturdays, is filled with photography, paintings, ceramics and signed copies of her poetry books. It all comes straight from her heart. “I love what comes from inside you,” she says. “That’s what makes it original and unique. No one can teach you that; it’s already there. “I hope I can inspire other people to go out and be creative. A lot of people spend a lot of time watching TV or on their phones. That’s outside of yourself. To be creative, you have to go within, to those scary places, and bring them into the light.”

Teena Chumbley and others are fighting to save a hinterland forest

LOGGING NOT ON, SAYS COMMUNITY Sunshine Coast residents have joined forces to fight government plans to log a beloved Beerwah forest. WORDS: Kat Donaghey.

housands of people are joining an eleventh-hour campaign to save towering trees from imminent logging in popular recreational bushland in the region. The state government plans to “harvest” native hardwood from Ferny Forest, a 130-hectare section of Beerwah State Forest near Landsborough, just as it’s poised to become a protected area. The picturesque park is loved by mountain bikers, runners and walkers who enjoy its 10-kilometre single-track trail looping through diverse tall trees, with an understory of ferns and native shrubs like banksias.

The forestry department has announced plans to cut down “selective” hardwood natives for use as power poles, sawlogs, girders and landscaping logs. The species targeted include blackbutt, white stringybark, tallowwood, red mahogany, grey iron bark, flooded gum, turpentine and grey gum, according to the government’s own website. It is believed there are hardwood trees up to 60 years old in Ferny Forest, which has been a state forest since 1874 and sits on the banks of Ewen Maddock Dam near Mooloolah River National Park. The area is considered prime habitat for koalas, which have now been listed as

endangered, and campaigners say there are 190 plant and 53 threatened animal species. The controversial log harvest is planned for this year, which is a couple of years before timber-getting is due to end in native bushland in southeast Queensland. From December 31, 2024, timber production will stop, including in Ferny Forest, under the SEQ Forests Agreement struck in 1999. Save Ferny Forest spokeswoman Teena Chumbley says the state government is trying to squeeze in one more round of logging before the area gains protection. She says people cannot believe that a cherished haven of trees and native animals may be subject to logging in these days of environmental awareness. “Under the forestry code, 50 per cent can be logged. Will they log 50 per cent? Will it be less?” asks Ms Chumbley. “Even cutting one tree has a big impact and changes the area.” Residents have since formed an action group, set up Save Ferny Forest and Save Beerwah State Forest Facebook pages, launched a website and started a Change.org petition which has garnered more than 20,000 signatures. In the first week alone, some 10,000 people joined the online campaign. Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt is telling concerned locals he has raised the issue with the Minister Mark Furner and indicates that “as the local MP I do not support it”. “I understand that there is a process that needs to be followed and I’ll be doing whatever is required to make sure that the voices of my constituents are being listened to,” a statement from Mr Hunt reads. It remains unknown how many trees will be felled, or when it will occur. For more on this story, visit sunshinecoastnews.com.au.

BANK REACH INCREASED Community Bank Caloundra has spread its reach to the hinterland to service the areas of Beerwah and Peachester. Community Bank chair Colin Rose says the branch is committed to supporting a thriving community covering Caloundra and surrounding areas. “Being in a position to extend our community sponsorship support program is such a fantastic achievement for a community enterprise that many perceived as a distant dream when we first embarked on this journey,” Mr Rose says. The community bank now covers north to Mooloolaba, south to Bribie Island and west to Beerwah.

RESIDENTS’ DONATION The residents of Halcyon Parks retirement village have donated $7000 to the Caloundra Hospital Auxiliary, which will benefit the Caloundra Health Service. Co-ordinator of the Halcyon Parks Craft Group, Sheila Cavanagh, says the group sells handmade items through the Mary Rose Cafe on the health service grounds. Auxiliary president Claudine Hagan says the donation will help provide palliative care equipment at the Caloundra Hospital.

POLICE TALK If it’s flooded, forget it, back it up The Sunshine Coast has recently experienced extraordinary weather, causing chaos and tragedy for some road users. Emergency services are struggling to comprehend why some motorists ignore the notice signs and warnings that are erected on flooded roads. It is not only a risk to our emergency services to assist in these incidents, but it is also an offence to drive through flood waters when there is a sign erected. Flood waters can tear away the road surface and result in the surface of the

road being much deeper than you know. A vehicle’s power will cut out, disabling electric powered windows and locks. The vehicle is near impossible to get out of. To prevent any damage or to ensure the safety of road users, a temporary road closed sign to all traffic may be displayed. Under Section 46(4) of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, it is an offence for a person to drive past a restricted road use notice without a reasonable excuse and may result in a $827 fine. In addition, an offence under Section 100 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management – Road Rules) Regulation 2009 is disobeying a ‘no entry’ sign on any road, which may result in a $192 fine. If a motorist enters any flooded road, state or council managed, under s83(1)(c) Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995, police may issue an infringement notice for careless driving/due care and attention, which is a $551 fine. Do not underestimate the ferocity of the flood waters – if it’s flooded, forget it. This column is compiled by the Sunshine Coast District Crime Prevention Unit. If you have information for police, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersqld.com.au, or Policelink at police.qld.gov.au/reporting.

MY OPINION

WHY THIS DAY MATTERS

A BRUSH WITH COVID

Jane Stephens is ready to celebrate International Women’s Day, and she reminds us all why we should take notice too.

Ashley Robinson has wondered whether drinking Coopers beer was protecting him against catching COVID – but no such luck.

t is confession time: International Women’s Day used to be a mystery to me. I couldn’t see the point because my life has not been marked by inequity. My parents raised my brother and me to each know our capabilities and believe in our possibilities and I went to schools where learning choices were not tempered by gender. As an adult, I have had choices in life and career. I have worked in professions where parity of pay and conditions exist. But now I have been made aware not all are so privileged even in Australia, and that is why marking the day is important. Women in Australia might make up just over half the population, but full-time workers with ordinary earnings take home more than $250 less each week than men do. Part of this is because the so-called female-dominated industries such as aged and childcare, health and community services are historically undervalued and are not very well paid. Women also have far less in their super, making them more likely to spend their older years in poverty. We should remember we have only had a federal Sex Discrimination Act since 1984,

which has played an important role in changing attitudes about equality. I was also wrong in presuming the day itself was some creation of noisy newbies, learning that International Women’s Day has been marked every year since 1911. Its purpose is to celebrate women’s achievements and continue to push for parity. That ticks a lot of boxes for me. There is so much to celebrate. There is now no ASX200 company without a woman on its board and last year they comprised 41 per cent of appointments. Nine in 10 women and men believe men should be as involved in parenting as women and just need more employers to get on board and give dads greater flexibility at work. It is an international day, and precisely because we are in the Lucky Country, we must think of others who live elsewhere. Consider the women in Qatar who recently won the right to get a driver’s licence without a man’s permission. Or the women of Nigeria, where men are legally allowed to beat their wives ‘for the purpose of correcting’. Or those in Kyrgyzstan, where kidnapping a woman to make her your bride is said to be socially acceptable.

irstly, I want to start with a disclaimer: I am about to make light of a serious situation and mean no disrespect to people who have suffered pain and loss. I am talking about COVID, which I have written about many times. In my last column about it, I wondered whether Coopers Sparkling Ale may have stopped me from catching it. But alas, I was wrong. A couple of Tuesdays ago, I started with a persistent cough, then sneezing then runny nose, then Dr Google to check symptoms. I was urged by workmates to do a RAT test, which came up negative. That night, aching limbs and coughing. Another RAT test, also negative. The next morning, feeling like I had a bad hangover, I did another RAT test, which was also negative. By this time I was positive the RAT couldn’t find its way up my nose, so I went and got a PCR. The next morning I got the text that I was positive and would be enrolled in the virtual ward and phoned on a daily basis. To be honest, I got sick for about two days in total and on the the third day, which I slept for nearly half of, I woke up feeling

okay. No cough, no runny nose and no aching body, but still sleepy. Two weeks later, I still feel like having a lie down around lunchtime. The virtual ward and nurse were awesome and I have no complaints, but for the next four days I did get a look in the window of what my retirement might look like. I have to say, I really didn’t like what I saw. The fact that old mate has been in retirement for over a decade means one thing: get out of her way. Get out of the kitchen, laundry and anywhere else that may impede her daily routine. I did learn how to dust and clean shutters, kill cobwebs, clean skirting boards and clean ‘my’ shower. I had to manage all this as well as a death stare from George on why he wasn’t getting walked and why I spent most of my time hiding in the garage. So COVID one, Ashley nil. But as I looked into that retirement window, I knew I was adapting a saying from a mate of mined who is retired: “All I know is I am going somewhere on a daily basis and sometimes I don’t even know until I get to the corner. I just know I have somewhere to be?”

MY OPINION

LIVING IN THE SEVENTIES

AFTER THE FLOODS COMES UNDERINSURANCE

It’s not just the Queen who had a 70-year celebration this year, writes Sami Muirhead.

We need to plan now for future disasters. WORDS: Antonia Settle, McKenzie Postdoctoral Research Fellow, The University of Melbourne.

irthdays that end in a zero are a little more special than others. It is a big year for the Queen, with new plans released to celebrate her historic reign. A few weeks ago, she became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service on the throne. But an Aussie icon has quietly turned 70 without a royal fan-fare. The Chiko Roll was invented by an Australian named Frank McEncroe way back in 1951 and was inspired by the Chinese spring roll. The hilarious thing is the Chicken Roll, as it was first formerly called, never contained a trace of actual chicken, but instead was stuffed with cabbage and barley and celery and onion. It was a plant-based snack designed to be easily eaten on the move without cutlery. Some may say Frank was ahead of his time with his deep-fried delicious delight. At the peak of its popularity in the 1960s and ’70s, 40 million Chiko Rolls were sold annually in Australia.

How was everyone so skinny? Don’t get me started on the fact we were encouraged to smother ourselves in coconut oil when we were sunbaking! The company that now produces Chiko Rolls also makes Corn Jacks, supreme pizza subs and onion rings. This makes me happy because they are staying in their lane of making food that is unhealthy for your body but seemingly good for the soul. The company knows its wheelhouse is fatty and fried foods. And you know who else is 70? Paul Stanley, from the band KISS! Sting is also the same age. How did Gordon Sumner get to be that age? Wonder Woman is also 70. Yep. Lynda Carter. Bob Geldolf, Michael Keaton, Mark Hamill, Mark Harmon, Kurt Russell and Jane Seymour are also in the seventies club. And as if that is not mind blowing enough, I am adding to the list John Mellencamp and Tony Danza. Tony from Who’s The Boss somehow grew older when we were pigging out on Chiko Rolls. Happy birthday to all the legends.

HOME TO NATIVE &

he floods affecting Australia’s eastern seaboard are a “one in 1000-year event”, according to New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet. But that’s not what science, or the insurance industry, suggests. Throughout Australia in areas prone to fires, cyclones and floods, homeowners and businesses are facing escalating insurance costs as the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increase with the warming climate. Premiums have risen sharply over the past decade as insurers count the cost of insurance claims and factor in future risks. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, published this week, predicts global warming of 1.5°C will lead to a fourfold increase in natural disasters. Rising insurance premiums are creating a crisis of underinsurance in Australia. In 2017 the federal government tasked the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to investigate insurance affordability in northern Australia, where destructive storms and floods are most common. The commission delivered its final report in 2020. It found the average cost of home and contents insurance in northern Australia was almost double the rest of

Australia – $2500 compared with $1400. The rate of non-insurance was almost double – 20 per cent compared with 11 per cent. While the areas now experiencing their worst flooding in recorded history aren’t part of the riskiest areas identified by the insurance inquiry, the dynamics are the same. Those not insured or underinsured will be financially devastated. Insurance premiums will rise. As a result, more people will underinsure or drop their insurance completely, compounding the social disaster that will come with the next natural disaster. So, what to do about it? There are two main ways to reduce insurance premiums. One is to reduce global warming. This is not something Australia can achieve on its own, but it can be part of the solution. The other is to reduce the damage caused by extreme events, by constructing more disaster-resistant buildings, or not rebuilding in high-risk areas. The federal government, however, has put most of its eggs in a different basket, with a plan to subsidise insurance premiums in northern Australia. This won’t do much for those affected by the current floods. It won’t even do much to solve the insurance crisis in northern Australia. – Read the full article on The Conversation.

DULUX’S MOODY AUTUMN HUES STYLE TIPS Dulux colour expert Andrea Lucena-Orr says rich, bold and moody hues paired with natural tones are in focus this season. Here are her top tips for autumn design. • Autumn palettes tend to consist of warm hues – both neutral and rich tones – and you can layer beautiful variations of these colours to add depth to your space. • Consider the intent of the space: softer warm hues of pinks and earthy reds can create a light and cosy atmosphere while selecting the deeper hues of blues and greens can create a calm and moody space. • Ensure you love the colour(s) before you make your final decision. As we know, colours can differ greatly due to lighting and surrounding colour, so make sure you sample your colours before you commit to a purchase. • If you want to replicate the Flourish palette, Ms Lucena-Orr recommends testing a couple of key colours you initially gravitated towards and leaving them up on your walls for two to three days to ensure the colour(s) work in your space and under different lighting conditions, both natural and artificial. You can also add some other colours from the palette for furnishings and decor items.

NDIS PROMOTION

BETTER ACCESS TO ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

CARERS THAT DRIVE: GOING THE EXTRA MILE Carers That Drive (CTD) is a unique driving service that matches caring, qualified drivers with people, from all walks of life who need help getting out and about in the community. CTD is also a registered NDIS provider. CTD take the time to get to know their individual clients and supporters to ensure the best match and service is provided. The customer feedback indicates their clients really appreciate the fact they go that extra mile – it really helps everyone feel connected. The service caters to anyone in the community who might benefit from a

personalised driving service, including parents with young children, people who can’t drive, people with a disability, older people with medical appointments and of course, older people with social appointments. There’s a lot more moving around happening now that we’re out of COVID lockdown. If they’re able to assist someone in your world for a one-off occasion or a regular date – they can help you get there.

For further information, please visit the website: carersthatdrive.com.au or call 0403 057 051.

The government is improving the participant experience for people on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, with easier access to assistive technology (AT). Minister for the NDIS, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC, has announced an increase in the upper limit for automatic approval of assistive technology purchases. This limit has now increased from $5000 to $15,000. “I have listened closely to participants and their representatives, and what they have told me is they want a scheme which is more person focused, with less red tape,” Minister Reynolds says. “This is another example of the government’s commitment to improving the NDIS and improving the participants’ experience.” The changes will also assist many participants who currently have quotable AT under $15,000 in their plans. The NDIA will automatically approve the funding for these items so participants can access this AT faster. This new measure is still subject to the necessary checks and balances to

maintain the integrity of the scheme. The most commonly purchased AT within the $15,000 price range includes manual wheelchairs, specialty beds and bathroom chairs/stools. The NDIA has summarised these changes in an updated guideline and new participant factsheet, setting out what evidence participants need to provide and what to do before buying AT. The NDIA has also created a new guideline and template on vehicle modifications and driving supports, which includes simpler and clearer information. These will help participants work with assessors to provide evidence for vehicle modification support requests over $15,000.

Money matters should start to improve, as Venus moves through your finance zone (until April 5). The sun and Pluto send a confidence boost your way (especially involving a personal project) and Friday’s full moon activates your aspirations zone.

You’re feeling lively as Venus, Mars and Saturn visit your sign. But don’t get side-tracked and lose sight of where you are heading. The earthy Virgo full moon encourages you to make plans and put them into practice with discipline and dedication.

The sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune are all transiting through Pisces, which encourages intuitive insights, creativity and compassion … but also some confusion! Friday’s full moon is in earthy Virgo, which will help you be more grounded.

SMOKING ON BALCONIES RULING SETS PRECEDENT If you smoke on the balcony of an apartment block, you may find yourself on the wrong side of the law. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

he recent decision of the Queensland Body Corporate Commission tribunal on smoking on a balcony may have farreaching consequences. “This decision is about smoking, but the principle could be extended to a range of other activities too,” REIQ chief executive officer Ms Mercorella says. The complainant wanted her neighbour to smoke indoors either with her doors closed or within a designated smoking area within the complex. When approached for a resolution the building’s body corporate committee decided the issue was solely between the two owners. The case went to the tribunal, which found in favour of the owner who claimed her neighbour’s smoke drift from smoking on the balcony below constituted a nuisance and a hazard and was in breach of the building’s by-laws. It was agreed there was a breach of the by-laws, which included a section controlling smoking within the lots, and that community title owners and occupiers do have limitations within their lots. The tribunal also noted committees can’t pick and choose which by-laws they enforce.

Under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 people living in these schemes are required to not do things that constitute a nuisance or hazard. “This decision suggests smoking does that,” Ms Mercorella says. So, even if your building doesn’t have a non-smoking by-law, it’s likely a complaint against smoking within the complex would succeed. “The decision not only says you can’t smoke on your balcony because of the health hazard that it creates for adjoining or neighbouring properties, it goes even

further than that,” Ms Mercorella says. “It actually says, even when you smoke within your property, so away from the balcony but within your property, you need to have steps to ensure the smoke doesn’t drift. In other words, you need to think about shutting your windows and doors.” While the tribunal decision was relevant only to the Gold Coast building, it sets a precedent. “There is no law that says you can’t smoke on your balcony,” Ms Mercorella says. “But where there is a body corporate by-law mentioning smoking on balconies,

“This decision is about smoking, but the principle could be extended...” REIQ’s Antonia Mercorella

this decision strengthens that by-law if it is challenged. “As apartment living becomes more prevalent these are the sorts of issues that we are going to be facing about what is reasonable to do in your home and how far do we go when we restrict what people can do within their own homes,” she says.

AUCTION WRAP

BANG FOR BUCK IN TANAWHA Looking for acreage and have $3 million to spend? Then make sure you put Tanawha on your list. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone. around Buderim anymore especially with reasonable body corps and a good yield,” Mr Loiero said. The three-bedroom home at 5 Seaview Terrace in Buderim attracted two bidders. They were willing to fight it out strongly, starting at $840,000 before quickly hitting $1.025 million where the auction was paused. After some negotiation, a further offer of $1.120 million was accepted and the property sold under the hammer. Listing agent Jake Loiero said the buyers were downsizers moving up to the Coast from NSW. “They wanted the place,” he said. “The buyers had their eye on the property for about three weeks.”

NAMBOUR: AFFORDABLE AND ATTRACTIVE

Ray White Buderim’s 4556 Auction Event chief auctioneer Jake Loiero in action on the night

hen looking to spend close to $3 million to secure a home that has room for a growing family both in numbers and age, Coast buyers have a choice of waterfront or acreage. But when it comes to ‘bang for buck’ The Agency’s Dan Smith said properties such as 44 Ferny Glen Road in Tanawha are top of the list. “I am getting a lot of people who are considering both, or they are coming from the waterfront and wanting a bit more distance from their neighbours and privacy,” he said. The five-bedroom home sold under the hammer for $2.95m to a local couple with plans to grow a large family in the sprawling estate. The underbidder was from Alexandra Headland. “It was important for the family to have a place for the kids to have a place to run around and have a good upbringing,” Mr Smith said about the buyers. There were four bidders – two from the Coast, one on the phone from Victoria and another recently relocated West Australian family. “The result was strong,” Mr Smith said. “We had one offer during the campaign. It was considerably lower than (the auction result). The result was above reserve.” “Tanawha is well-known for having a lot of high quality, small acreage, properties. This was one was unique. The average Tanawha property is maybe an acre and a half, this was five acres.” “There are quite a number of properties in Tanawha that are in this price bracket,” he added. myweeklypreview.com.au

KEEN BIDDING AT FIRST-TIME BUDERIM EVENT Friday’s Ray White Buderim in-room 4556 Auction Event was a first for the team. Held in Buderim’s Church Hall, it was filled to capacity with 123 people there to watch nine Buderim houses and apartments go under the hammer in the safety of a dry venue as dark clouds gathered outside. The event was also live streamed on Facebook with 530 views. “We sold six out of nine properties on the night,” chief auctioneer Jake Loiero said. “We anticipate that the other three that didn’t sell on the night will sell very soon. “It was hugely successful night. We will do another event next year.” The four-bedroom home at 3 Mayfield Street didn’t disappoint Mr Loiero’s expectations. He predicted last week the auction of the blue-chip address property was going to be one to watch. There were eight bidders for the two-storey architecturally designed modern home, which sits in the heart of Buderim. The bidding opened at $1 million before about 20 bids jumped the price up quickly to $1.260 million. A determined bidder slam dunked the group with a $1.3 million bid before being outbid by $10,000 with the property being sold under the hammer for $1.310 million. Bidding for the renovated onebedroom apartment at 5/6 Scanlan Court in Buderim started at $280,000. After about 12 bids the property sold under the hammer for $341,000. “You can’t buy anything that cheap

In Nambour, Ray White’s Matt O’Grady said the four-bedroom home at 17 Kooralbyn Court’s auction didn’t deliver a result on the day but immediately post-auction he had four keen buyers on this doorstep. The Nambour market is very strong Mr O’Grady said. The area, which provides all the necessary services, is still considered affordable when compared to

The Agency’s Dan Smith with the vendors of 44 Ferny Glen Road in Tanawha Coast suburbs closer to the beaches. “There are a lot of people looking to move into the area because of the larger sized blocks from 600 to 1000 square metres, which gives them space to put a shed or store toys, or for tradies with trailers,” Mr O’Grady said. “Nambour properties are fairly scarce on the ground. As we are getting them, they are selling quite quickly.” continued over >

The Ray White listed property at 6 Ash Lane in Eudlo

BOUTIQUE EUDLO Mr O’Grady was unable to secure a buyer for 6 Ash Lane in Eudlo with both wet weather during the campaign and the property being tenanted until September 2022 hampering the sale. But he is confident a post-auction sale can be achieved in the character-filled, boutique-style village. Most of the places being sold in the area are selling in 25 to 30 days of being listed. “Any of those railway towns – Eudlo, Mooloolah, Woombye – they are all starting to get a boutique feel to them,” he said. “The sales are quite strong, and the price-point is surprising. “You can have acreage close to a township and it’s a little slower pace. It’s less populated and people tend to know their neighbours,” Mr O’Grady added.

UPCOMING AUCTIONS For downsizers or a busy professional couple, the top floor four-bedroom Buderim apartment at 6/8 Pioneer Crescent will hold some interest. “It’s a massive unit,” Ray White’s Jake Loiero said. “It’s located literally right behind the village with its restaurants and shops.” He also noted the Aspects on Buderim building is a high quality, low maintenance complex with a lift. Set on over an acre, the five-bedroom home at 8 Shady Grove in Tanawha is “an awesome estate” said listing agent Rebecca Fletcher of Home Sunshine Coast. “It’s one of those properties that you need to see to appreciate how awesome it is; the photos don’t do it justice. “We have already had 40 groups through. “It’s a lifestyle estate with two separate wings, a good layout, an entertainer’s kitchen inside and heaps of living space.” Up in Buderim, Property Today’s Jamie Hill has listed the five-bedroom home at 18 Sam White Drive. Even with all the torrential rain there has been 60 groups through the property. “That’s the great part of where it is positioned, there were

no water problems at all,” Mr Hill said. The views of the Blackall Range in the afternoon while kicking back on the deck are “amazing”. “It’s two separate properties; upstairs and downstairs.” There are opportunities for multi-generational living. “Or for a first homebuyer that wants to earn from Airbnb through the bottom section,” he added.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Well it’s going to be minus 10 degrees with a fresh foot of powder. Oops, sorry that’s the snow report in Canada. Looks like I missed all the rain and action? Hope you are all doing well. Looking at the surf report for you, it looks like more waves, not that I care. Now I am off to the hot tub with a cold beer after snowboarding all day.
