The Take Control Legal founder has been involved with the Gold Coast District Law Association (GCDLA) for several years, including three as President and two as Treasurer, and she wanted to acknowledge the people who had helped her devote time to the GCDLA and her firm which she founded in 2023. She thanked her husband Trevor for his parenting and being a stay-at-home dad, giving her the support to pursue her goals. “It is also really important to acknowledge Mum and Dad,” Anna said. “I was brought up with the ethos instilled from them about the art of living is the art of giving. “I watched them, growing up, giving themselves to community organisations and on boards, and that’s been engrained in my DNA. So I have fabulous role models and that’s contributed to where I am today.” She wanted to dedicate the award to Gold Coast legal practitioners and in particular the GCDLA. “I wouldn’t be here today or been as successful starting my own practice as a sole practitioner … over the last decade or two without the District Law Association,” Anna said. “For those of you out there who have a district law association in your area, I implore you, encourage you to get involved. “The support I get; the support I can give; the mentoring I have received, the mentoring I’ve been given; the relationships I have built and created; people I can lean upon, friendships, no one understands what we do more than other lawyers. “So if you aren’t involved in one please get involved, it will enrich your careers, it will enrich your practices, and it is such a fabulous thing to be part of. So I dedicate this to Gold Coast lawyers and District Law Associations.” Anna volunteers at My Community Legal, lectures at Bond University, and founded Gold Coast Corporate Rotary. She also established Expert Witness Coach, guiding professionals to build successful careers as expert witnesses. Pilot Partners was the award partner for Solicitor of the Year (Sole Practitioner).

Sunshine Coast Law Association members will think pink to mark the 10th annual Justin Crosby Memorial Gala Dinner next month. In honour of Justin’s signature style, the May 17 event… The GCDLA event hosted a special movie screening with actor David Wenham taking part in a Q&A session. Nominations for the QLS Excellence in Law Awards have already been received in the first week. Nyst Legal Director Chris Nyst’s new film will be shown at a Gold Coast District Law Association event next month. Ethics will be the focus for the Sunshine Coast Law Association (SCLA) when it presents its annual family law CPD event next week. Sunshine Coast barrister Ross McSwan Barrister Ross… The University of the Sunshine Coast Student Law Association gathered local professionals to speak at its Women in Law breakfast. Roles were reversed when former Sunshine Coast Law Association (SCLA) President Trent Wakerley found himself on top of the life membership list instead of drafting it. The Director of Kruger Law, who was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, was recently presented with the honour at this year’s Justin Crosby Memorial Bursary Dinner.The award was presented at the Bursary Dinner. In a social media post, the SCLA said: “Trent has been extensively involved with the SCLA as President, Vice President and Secretary. He is a wonderful mentor to many and a friend to all. The Sunshine Coast legal profession, and community more broadly is richer for having Trent around!” Many of his colleagues and fellow practitioners sent posted tributes in a SCLA video. Kruger Law Special Counsel Cec O’Dea said the honour was “thoroughly deserved” and some recognition of the “many, many hours” spent serving the association “from those young days as a leather-jacket wearing, motorbike-riding article clerk” to “the seasoned and well-respected practitioner that you are today”. Cec recalled Trent’s service to the association had been at all levels, even donning the “notorious Santa suit” at a Christmas party to ensure everyone had a great time. Queensland Law Society Immediate Past President Chloé Kopilović said it was a “huge and beautiful recognition of your contribution on the Sunshine Coast and wider legal profession”. “It is one thing to be a great lawyer but it’s also another thing to be a great lawyer who gives back and you have given back in truckloads,” she said.Video tributes followed the event. Trent said: “Thank you so much to the SCLA for the honour of being awarded a life member. When helping out with awarding the first life membership to Richard Hyett all those years ago, I never imagined I would be on the list one day. “I’m proud to be part of the legal profession on the Sunny Coast, great lawyers – great people.” QLS Council member Samantha Bolton said: “I honestly can’t think of a better recipient for the award. “When you actually look at all the criteria and why this award was formed in the first place, you really just epitomise everything. “You are really supportive of all of your colleagues and fellow practitioners. You are so courteous to everybody that you deal with and most importantly, and significantly, you are most encouraging to the next generation of lawyers that are coming through with your contributions to the university.” Before entering the law, Trent was a registered nurse. He developed a passion for elder law while supporting his parents as they navigated aged care, seeing first-hand the challenges faced. Trent was awarded a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from QUT in 2005. He started working with Sunshine Coast’s largest firm at the time, Schultz Toomey O’Brien Lawyers, from 2005. Trent was admitted as a solicitor in September 2006 and remained there until 2015 gaining experience in wills and estates, elder law, commercial and property law. Trent assisted in developing and writing the Elder Law and Succession Law elective at the University of Sunshine Coast in 2016 and has been a sessional lecturer in this course since 2016. He remains a member of the university’s external advisory committee. In 2015, Trent became a Partner at Kruger Law. In addition to leading the wills and estates team, he continued to assist clients with his expertise in retirement living, lifestyle resorts and aged care matters. In July 2021, he became sole Director. Trent is a member of the Queensland Law Society Elder Law Committee. Mala Heffernan took the reins from Jessica Popple following the September 8 meeting, where the association also welcomed a new executive and committee.

Caiden Wakerley was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis three years ago (Image: Jam Press)A schoolboy might not live to see his 20th birthday without specialist treatment. Caiden Wakerley, 10, was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis three years ago, a rare disease that makes moving his joints painful. Caiden was just three when he started complaining about pain in his hips to his mum Dawn. The 41-year-old had noticed her son was walking on his tiptoes and was unable to hold his head back when she washed his hair. Dawn said: "He was complaining in his car seat saying he had numb feet and his hips hurt. We thought it was the car seat so we tried different ones. Then, around three years ago, we noticed him walking on his tip toes so I took his took the doctors for an X-ray. "They said he had inflammation and low vitamin D. The doctors couldn't work out what was wrong so we tried physio." But then the youngster, from Accrington, Lancashire, began to look unwell. His mum said he looked really skinny and pale. She continued: "It wasn't right and the school nurse even picked up on it. I carried on pushing. He had lots of tests. "The doctors asked him to put his wrists back and he couldn't, he was putting his elbows down. They realised he had no movement in his wrists. "He was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis which developed into the adult version because it took so long to get him diagnosed." And if that wasn’t enough to contend with, the schoolboy was last year diagnosed with a two-in-a million mixed connective tissue disease. The rare autoimmune disease means Caiden's body produces antibodies against its own connective tissue, causing inflammation. Dawn said: "My whole world ended when I found out. He’ll lose his ability to walk and he’s only 10. He’s been through so much for someone his age. Dawn, Caiden and his sister Sophie(Image: Jam Press)“He knows he has a lot going on. His hands are a mess, he can't grip things. He can't play out like a normal child. He can't ride his bike or go to the park with the other kids. He just wants to be a normal kid. "His five-year-old sister can do more than him. It's so rare and I can't find anyone else who's been through it. It's awful and terrifying.” He now takes medication and wears a machine that sends electors through the nerves to block the pain from the condition that affects his neck, wrists, ankles, hips, shoulders and fingers. There's no cure for the disease and Caiden may not live past his teens unless he can be flown to Italy for treatment. Dawn and husband Graham, 38, are fundraising to take their son to Italy for medication that would put both diseases into remission. Dawn said: "There is medication available in Italy that can put him in remission and prolong his life. The NHS doesn't fund it. We have approached doctors in Italy and said we want the best for our son. "We need help. We're hopeful that he can live and enjoy the rest of his childhood. We're hanging in limbo. I'm living in the moment. I can't breakdown, I have to carry on and live day by day. "When I think about what he's been through, it takes my breath away. He's a fighter. He's been through more than anyone could know."

Leo DeMarco lives down the road and heard the shots fired. "I was here in the car loading a freezer and I heard some yelling, a male voice," he said. "Within a couple of seconds I heard shot, shot. I came out and looked up there and saw there was a male and a female officer, both with guns drawn. "I heard him, obviously he must have been on his walkie-talkie or whatever because he sort of yelled out or said, 'shots fired'. "The male officer slowly made his way toward where the body was, still with gun drawn. "Then after that, probably a minute lapsed. They holstered their weapons then they both walked toward the body, then sirens galore." An investigation is underway after a police officer fatally shot an "enraged" man armed with a knife. (AAP: Glenn Hunt) Trenton Schreurs, who also lives nearby in Wakerley, said it was a quiet neighbourhood. "I came home from a morning at work and found the street to be all blocked off," he said. "I've heard that there's been a police incident, a shooting, which is particularly unusual for the area. "Nothing really happens here, nothing untoward, so it's all a little bit shocking. "The neighbourhood's full of parks and full of kids, so it's a bit of a shock to come home on a Sunday afternoon to see your streets taped off with police tape." Police cordoned off a large section of the neighbourhood near where the shooting occurred.

or even internally developed applications These applications are critical to the success of a business Application Persistence gives companies the ability to ensure that those applications that they care the most about remain in a known and good state regardless of anything that could happen on the endpoint tries and disable the AV client on the endpoint allows you to ensure that if something were to happen to that – we’ll just use the AV as an example – AV product the firmware with the agent on the firmware and the agent on the OS knows that something has happened to that client and will then go grab a known good copy and put it back Then it will alert your SIEM or your security team and they can take the time to go take a look at things it’s not necessarily just a piece of malware but it just could be ignorance or somebody doing a routine system restore IT administrators are just trying to get people productive and they’re not necessarily spending the time to make sure all of these things are functioning on the box I was just talking to a customer of ours yesterday Their number one reason for buying the product was so that they can ensure compliance on encryption and what they’ve discovered is they had one laptop theft or loss a year ago and the last known communication that they received from the encryption software was that it was encrypting it how do you know when you’ve encrypted everything?’ With our software and with our expansion into third party systems we can actually guarantee that we can give those auditors the information they need the assurance that the software is functioning correctly Richard Henderson: I think along those lines CISOs today they spend most of their time quantifying risk And through Application Persistence and the Absolute Persistence platform we give CISOs a very simple way to attach a quantifiable to that risk when it comes to the applications on their endpoints If we can virtually guarantee that these applications are never going to leave the device regardless of whether it is malware or compliance need or a malicious insider we all know there’s plenty of people in environments who want to do things their own way and they’ll find ways around the controls you put on the endpoints But that’s a story as old as time when it comes to technology There’s always people who want to just tweak things or do things that may violate your compliance or regulatory goals we provide mobility for IT and security teams to ensure that those they care the most about don’t get tampered with or messed with in any way we’ve been able to at least inform the organizations that this happening One of the other use cases that I hear all the time is that with all of these controls they still don’t have full visibility to their enterprise And that’s one thing that we do with Persistence technologies; that once it is activated that mobile phone or that tablet or that desktop will phone home you think about the implications for the mobile workforce and the telecommuters whose devices don’t exist inside your corporate walls They still need to have visibility and understanding of what those devices are doing regardless of whether they’re inside your typical perimeter network we live in a world now where there really isn’t a perimeter anymore All those things make it very difficult for you to practice a very traditional perimeter-based security model I don’t know many customers anymore who even consider that Maybe the most strict desktop-only-based environments with no BYOD it’s critical that CSOs and security teams need to know what those devices are doing at any one time If your device… if your field sales team can be full of all sorts of confidential information; if that device gets stolen or sales guy or saleswoman decides they’re leaving the company and wants to take all that data with them to someone else you need to know where that device is going to end up and then have the ability to instantly or rapidly deploy technology or controls to be able to mitigate that insider breach Todd Wakerley: And I think that the controls that exist today are… Perfect example we know that if a device is lost or stolen we know which applications they had installed on it we can initiate network access control for that device Richard Henderson: I think that’s one of the reasons I joined the Absolute family it’s that I really think this technology is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen in the business Todd Wakerley: And it’s in large part to our partnership with our OEMs and our ability to make sure we’re doing the right things from a firmware perspective to make sure that we can attest tell me a little bit more about endpoint data protection and how our customers use that you know that traditional DLP deployments are traditionally just brought with trouble and failure today almost 80% of large scale DLP deployments result in either abandonment or simply in an inactive and we took a look at some technology that we acquired a few years ago that was network-based DLP ‘What if we could extend that to the endpoint What if could inspect the data that resides in the endpoint and start to allow organization simply to identify risk of data that exists on the device?’ That combined with the security posture that we can collect through hardware and software inventory really provides a unique view for the organization You were talking earlier about determining the value of risk our ability to detect sensitive information whether it’s PII data or credit card information we can now give users an opportunity to prioritize their remediation strategy based on that Richard Henderson: It’s funny you say that because some of our customers I’ve talked to when they see some of the results of the amount of sensitive or possible at risk data that resides in their endpoints they have no idea the staggering amount of sensitive or potentially sensitive data that’s existing on these endpoints because they have no visibility to where that data is moving to And if you put that in the context of what else is happening on a device – right What other software might they have on the device We’ve been able to relate that to risk in the cloud but we can tell you whether or not that user is putting that data in the cloud and we can at least alert the users for that Richard Henderson: I think in today’s really tight and getting tighter regulatory climate especially when we thing about GDPR in the EU those are going to be questions that companies and enterprises are going to need answers for think about the changes in laws in Germany for example and all the data residency requirements in all sorts of places in Europe The EU is not going to tolerate people messing around with EU citizens data And if companies don’t have any idea as to where that data is moving inside their network ending up on those endpoints and places they probably shouldn’t end up then they’re going to be held accountable for it Todd Wakerley: And we’re currently investigating technology that may even allow us to put a sonar on those files that are highly sensitive for the organizations For more information on self-healing endpoint security download the following brochure from Absolute Software: The ad-free version is ready for purchase on iOS mobile app today we couldn't find that page";var n=e.querySelector("h2");return n&&n.remove(),{staticContent:e,title:t}},d=function(e){var t=document.createElement("button");return t.innerText=e,t.classList.add("error-page-button"),t},f=function(e){var t=document.createElement("div");t.id="recirculation-404",t.classList.add("brand-hint-bg");var n="\n \n \n \n \n \n '.concat(e,' Tick here if you would like us to send you the author’s response The file could not be found for a number of reasons such as the file being moved or deleted.

After commencing operations in 1985 with a single vehicle Mapai Transport now has a staff of more than 300 founder Jacob Luke set up Mapai Customs & Forwarding Agency services primarily as an added value service to ensure the smooth movement of Mapai’s clients’ freight into PNG Luke is looking south for the next venture and the scope is broader than transport and logistics with Grant Wakerley appointed International Logistics Manager ‘Jacob has clearly given the board the mandate to move the company from just a purely transport and logistics business to a training business that does transport and logistics to pay the bills,’ Wakerley tells Business Advantage PNG from his office in Auckland ‘This is a fundamental mind shift within the business and establishing a branch in NZ is part of that shift ‘The team is currently exploring possibilities of trade within the Pacific region.’ ‘The main driver for establishing an office in NZ is to boost export and import activities between PNG and NZ particularly those companies that are working on exporting products from PNG to NZ.’ Mapai Transport is one of the major freight providers along PNG’s Highlands Highway The team is also currently exploring possibilities of trade within the Pacific region particularly focused on the agricultural industry ‘Mapai would like to participate in assisting this trade to happen,’ says Luke ‘The NZ government has a number of initiatives around training for young Papua New Guineans ‘We don’t necessarily have be the ones actually growing or be the end supplier but we are hoping to be the catalyst to seeing things happen,’ adds Wakerley We want to see PNG create employment and income generating opportunities particularly for the families in the remote rural areas,’ says Luke ‘They also want to set up ‘good solid training opportunities’ for Mapai staff in NZ ‘giving the young people opportunity to learn skills that will see them set up for life.’ Mapai sees these as growth areas that PNG must take advantage of,’ says Luke Mapai executives have been talking to the Pacific Cooperation Foundation and the Pacific Trade and Invest which link projects within the Pacific nations to countries requiring certain produce and high value-added products ‘We want to ensure that PNG is in that mix’ ‘The appointment of Kevin Christie as CEO of the Mapai Group based in Lae means Jacob and I can now focus our attention on the wider programme which also includes a development project in Monokam in the Enga Province,’ notes Wakerley The Monokam project involves building infrastructure ‘We also helped negotiate with the Asian Development Bank to fund and build a health clinic with maternity facilities,’ says Wakerley NZ exported NZ$ 183.74 million (K412 million) worth of goods in the year to September 2016 while it imported NZ$10.52 million (K23.59 million) worth of goods from PNG The top PNG exports to NZ were coffee tea and spices (NZ$6.71 million/K15.05 million) PNG’s main import from NZ was meat (NZ$29.32 million/K65.75 million) Great entrepreneurial skills of a Papua New Guinean man breaking barriers An inspiration to young upcoming entreprenuers like myself and many others Only visionary leaders like you two can make impossible possible This business venture has a big future and I can’t wait longer to see your (Mr Luke) materialising A proof of nothing is impossible when one has a vision in Life Excellently archived from a local mum and dad heritage is indeed Fantastically Fantastic The abillity of Mapai doing business and being successful over the years in the very volatile nation of Papua New Guinea and remain a leader in the freight and logistics industry over the years is a remarkable reflection of the sheer dedication and commitment and drive to be nothing but successful of Mr For me Mapai has always been on top of its game since day one Now being a multinational again shows that fearless drive and ambition to explore and conquer its boundaries I like it when a company’s vision is not for itself but seeing itself as a participant in the facilitation and promotion of trade between PNG and the region through the provision and utilization of its freight and logistics network both locally and internationally Awesome leadership and vision Jacob and Grant Mapai has the potential to expand internationally This a big leap for Mapai and PNG as a whole It is an initiative to provide opportunities for NZ nationals We’ve received so much from Australia and NZ over time and such a initiative is breaking the barriers of PNG from outside perspective We are able to provide opportunities for the needy in other developed countries too Business leaders are not quite ready to call it, but there are promising signs as Papua New

Click here to get back to where you came from Lidl in Kingswood(Image: Jon Kent/ Bristol Live)A bizarre fault has led to several shoppers' key fobs malfunctioning in the car park of a Bristol supermarket The defect has affected at least a dozen people who left their cars in the car park of Lidl in Kingswood Retired policeman Graeme Wakerley first noticed the problem when he went to do his shopping in January but when he returned to his car he found his key fob wasn't working The 65-year-old said: "It's bizarre I assumed the batteries were flat as you would in that situation." "My son brought a spare and that didn't work either." where a customer has arrived at Lidl and been unable to lock their car He says he has seen others unable to disable their car alarms People's car key fobs are regularly malfunctioning in the car park(Image: Jon Kent/ Bristol Live)Mr Wakerley shared his experience in the Kingswood Residents Facebook group and found several people had had the same issue with their keys at the Lidl car park One woman said she was heavily pregnant and had visited the store with her toddler "I had to get in the driver side with him on me to try to start the ignition to then use the lock on the dash to unlock the other doors to get him in the car," she said "It's hardly a safe experience." Another person added: "Glad it's not just me Myself and a lady next to me looked at each baffled yesterday literally had to stand right next to the front of car "It's been happening a while and when I had hubby's car thought battery dead." Another person said: "That happened to me the other day and I bought new batteries only for it to work when i got home." As many as 10 others reported having the problem Mr Wakerley says he has complained to Lidl's head office but has heard nothing back The former police officer's theory is the fobs' signals are being blocked by Internet-based traffic cameras in the car park which were switched on a few months ago "I strongly suspect it has something to do with that," he said Lidl said the cameras do not transmit a signal which could block a fob and revealed the supermarket chain does not know what is causing the fault "We were concerned to learn of this occurrence and are currently looking into the matter to help identify the cause and resolve the situation for our customers," a spokesperson said Powered by Grantham Journal, Rutland & Stamford Mercury, Spalding Guardian and Lincolnshire Free Press Home
