2 Queensland homeowners and renters now have an unprecedented opportunity to secure their energy future with SunEnergy’s innovative SunZero solar and battery program. Thanks to an $10 million fund, SunEnergy is offering up to 600 households a fully maintained solar and battery systems at no cost, with most participants expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000 over a 10-year period. In some cases, savings could exceed $15,000—all without any upfront costs or financing. Why Queenslanders Should Act Now The SunZero Program, now expanding into Queensland following its successful pilot in South Australia, allows participants to harness the state’s abundant sunshine. With Queensland’s superior solar potential, households can not only reduce their energy bills but also potentially earn higher rebates by selling excess energy back to the grid. As we approach the 2030 Net Zero in Government Operations Strategy, which aims for net-zero government operations by 2030, the demand for energy-efficient solutions is more critical than ever. The growing adoption of electric vehicles is adding strain to the electrical grid, particularly at night when solar power is not available. SunEnergy’s program offers a solution, enabling households to safeguard themselves against rising energy costs and contribute to a more resilient grid. A True WIN-WIN-WIN Situation Ernest Brindley, Queensland’s SunEnergy Agent, expressed his enthusiasm for the program: "This is a true WIN-WIN-WIN situation. The household gets a Solar and Battery system installed for free and enjoys cheaper electricity costs, the retailers can utilise the energy stored in batteries to support the grid during times of high demand, and thirdly, we’re paid to help households reduce some of their cost of living. I'm really excited to be a part of a program that not only helps reduce emissions, but I'm extremely proud to be part of something where we can reduce the cost of living for households that may not have been able to afford a solar and battery solution otherwise." Local Impact and Benefits For Queenslanders, the financial benefits are substantial. The savings for households are significant, allowing families to redirect these funds to other important expenses such as mortgages, car payments, or even just groceries. Additionally, by locking in energy savings for the next 10 years, participants can protect families from the uncertainty of rising energy costs. Another great thing about the SunZero program is that, unlike traditional solar purchases which require a significant upfront investment—a cost that landlords or tenants are typically unwilling to bear—this program costs nothing upfront. As a result, landlords experience an instant increase in the value of their investment, while tenants can enjoy the benefit of reduced electricity costs. Eligibility and Focus Areas The program is open to all Queenslanders, subject to an eligibility assessment based on factors such as energy consumption, available roof space, shading issues, and a suitable location for the battery. While the program is available statewide, the initial focus will be on homes in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas, as we expand our network of installers to other regions. Currently, Diamond Energy is the primary retailer with a choice of new retailers expected to offer plans on the program very soon, providing customers with options to switch to the best energy plan for their needs. Success Stories from South Australia SunEnergy’s initiative has already made a significant impact in South Australia. Customers like J Matt, who shared that SunEnergy was "absolutely AMAZING to deal with," and Michael Xuan, who is "really happy with the new battery setup," highlight the program’s success and the positive experience of participants. Get Involved Queensland residents interested in seeing if their home or rental property qualifies for this program can contact the Queensland office at 07 5600 7560 or visit SunEnergy.com.au to fill out their details and receive a callback. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the solar revolution and secure long-term energy savings. Act now to see if your home is eligible for this transformative program.

At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. The moon has always inspired humanity, acting as a ‘cultural mirror’ to society, reflecting the ideas and beliefs of all people around the world. Over the centuries, the moon has been interpreted as a god and as a planet. It has been used as a timekeeper, calendar and been a source of light to aid night-time navigation. Throughout history the moon has inspired artists, poets, scientists, writers and musicians the world over. Different cultures around the world have their own historical, cultural, scientific and religious relationships to the moon. And yet somehow, despite these differences, the moon connects us all. Museum of the Moon allows us to observe and contemplate cultural similarities and differences around the world and consider the latest moon science.

4 After a separation it can often be difficult for parents to work together to reach a parenting arrangement that is in the best interests of the children. There are many methods that can be employed to assist parents in reaching an agreement without a need to resort to initiating Court proceedings. One of the best ways that parents can try to reach an agreement is through mediation. In a mediation the parties are assisted by an independent, unbiased third party to try to reach an agreement that works best for the children. Depending on the age of the children it may also be beneficial to participate in a child inclusive mediation. In a child inclusive mediation, the children are included in the decision-making process by meeting with the mediator or suitably qualified consultant to give voice to their thoughts, feelings and wishes. Alternatively, the parties may wish to have a formal Family Report prepared prior to a mediation. A Family Report is prepared by a suitably qualified professional whom is usually a social worker or psychologist. The Report considers both the parents views and wishes and those of the children and then makes recommendations as to what parenting arrangements may be in the best interests of the children. In Court proceedings the Court will usually require the parties to undertake a Family Report prior to making any decisions and that Report is almost always given significant weight by the Judge when making the decision. The benefit of commissioning a Family Report prior to Court is that it could assist the parties in avoiding expensive Court costs and if the matter does resort to Court the Report can then be provided to the Court without the need for a further delay. At Ormeau Legal we can help parties arrange a mediation, whether it is child inclusive or not, and can assist parties in arranging for a Family Report. We can guide parties in reaching a child appropriate agreement that suits each client’s particular needs. If an agreement is reached, we can then assist parties in preparing Consent Orders to formalise the agreement. To discuss our fixed fee rates call Ormeau Legal on 5540 7198 or alternatively call Hilton Hartley Lawyers on 5610 8060 to schedule a meeting with one of our experienced solicitors today.

Enter To Win MOLLY: A PREQUEL TO THE DRESSMAKER by Rosalie Ham It’s 1914 and Molly Dunnage wants to see change: at home, at work and in underwear. Her burgeoning corsetry business is starting to take off, thanks to some high-profile supporters. She’s marching with Melbourne’s suffragists for better conditions for women everywhere. And her family - her eccentric, confounding, adored father and aunt - are turning their minds to country retirement. But as the clouds of war gather and an ominous figure starts skulking in the shadows of her life, Molly’s dreams begin to falter. Then, when true love drops out of the sky and into her arms, her hopes for her life and the world are entirely upended. With the dark humour, richly detailed settings and vividly drawn characters we’ve come to expect from Rosalie Ham, this prequel to the international bestseller The Dressmaker is an unforgettable story of hopes lost, love found - and corsets loosened.

In Sydney, Josiah Steele is the new head of the family and grappling with his two very different sons - David, upstanding, decent and heir to the family enterprises; and Benjamin, wayward, restless and a magnet for trouble. To give Ben some responsibility, Josiah sends him on a trade mission straight into the territory of their soon-to-be enemy. As war erupts across Europe, its repercussions are felt in the Pacific. Ben and David find themselves caught up in the first Australian action of World War I - the fight to take possession of German New Guinea. But that is only the start. The brothers will see desperate action across Egypt, Palestine and the terrible killing fields of the Western Front, where the years of war, mud and bloody battlegrounds will forever change the Steele family ...

5 We offer free breast screens for women aged 40 and over. Breast screening is most effective for women aged 50 to 74. Our appointments are quick and can be made outside working hours. Book today. One in 7 women in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Regular breast screening helps save lives by finding breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat. A breast screen looks for very small breast cancers that can’t be seen or felt by a woman or her doctor. BreastScreen Queensland offers free breast screens (screening mammograms) for eligible people 40 years and older, with individuals welcome to continue screening beyond age 74. Women aged between 50 and 74 are actively encouraged to screen every two years, as the benefits of screening mammography have been shown to be most effective for this group. While early detection can increase treatment options, only one in every two local women aged 50 to 74 participates in the free breast screening program within recommended time frames. Of more than 34,500 people who screened at the BreastScreen Queensland Gold Coast Service last financial year, 1-in-10 stated they speak a language other than English at home. To help make it easier for people to learn more about breast screening and why it’s important, particularly for women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, BreastScreen Queensland has recently released a suite of new translated information resources. People can visit the BreastScreen Queensland website, or scan the QR code, to access breast screening information in a range of languages. ‘A short guide to breast screening’ Fact sheet is now available in 13 languages - Arabic, Japanese, Kinyarwanda, Korean, Nepali, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog-Filipino, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese – and can be found online at breastscreen.qld. gov.au/client-support/women-frommulticultural-communities A Fact sheet for women living with disability is available in English, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese via breastscreen. qld.gov.au/client-support/women-withdisability New resources help women learn more about free breast screening Two animated videos that help explain what happens at a breast screening appointment and Assessment clinic (for those who are asked to return for further tests), are accessible in numerous languages including Auslan. Permanent clinics are conveniently located at Burleigh Waters, Helensvale, Robina and Southport. A visiting mobile unit provides screening in additional locations throughout the year to help make it easier for people to attend closer to where they live or work. If you need interpreter assistance, you can call the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) on 131450 and ask to be connected to your nearest BreastScreen service. Eligible individuals who would like to book an appointment can do so by visiting breastscreen.qld.gov.au/make-anappointment or by phoning their nearest BreastScreen Queensland Service directly on 13 20 50.
