Cashed up for cause The Noosa Prostate Association raised an incredible $270,000 at their recent Prostate Cancer Awareness and Fundraising Lunch on Tuesday 1 August. Noosa Prostate Association secretary and treasurer Richard Bennet said, “Not only is prostate cancer the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, but the incidence of prostate cancer being diagnosed in
the Noosa region is higher than the national average.” “This is why the Noosa Prostate Association is so focused on raising awareness in the local community, and raising funds for vital research into finding a solution for this insidious disease, which claims the lives of more than 3500 men in Australia each year.” Read more on page 6
Mayor’s MP tilt It’s been one of Noosa’s worst-kept secrets for weeks, but a letter sent to its members by the Queensland Liberal National Party last week confirms that Mayor Clare Stewart has been recommended by the party to replace former Noosa branch president Leigh McCready as the LNP candidate for Noosa in the next state
election a little over a year away. The letter confirmed that only one nomination had been received by the applicant review committee, that of Cr Stewart, and it had been passed on to the Noosa branch with a “recommendation to proceed”. She will present to a special branch meeting next Saturday 12 Au-
gust ahead of the mere formality of a vote. Cr Stewart’s decision to run against popular Noosa independent Sandy Bolton raises some interesting questions about how the two political opponents can work together to defend Noosa against the population and development imposts of the state’s SEQ Review over
the coming months. Noosa Today understands that while Bolton and Stewart had an informal understanding that they would try to resolve policy differences privately rather than in the public forum, that pact has crumbled somewhat in recent weeks. Continued page 2
