Following the article in Eumundi Voice 140 – One Couple’s Dream for Kemabolo – Eumundi Rotary Club has established an initiative known as Project Kemabolo. The project aims to provide basic health care for the village and surrounding communities, while also progressing the design and construction of a small hospital. The first stage will involve refurbishing an old Aid Post, which was built in the 1960s. Over time, the facility is intended to become a small hospital and clinic capable of meeting the health needs of both Kemabolo and the wider district.
To date, the project has successfully established a full-time nurse Joanne, to manage health care in the village. She is already providing triage, pre- and post-natal care, and treatment for elderly residents. This is a significant milestone, as before the project began the villagers had to travel many kilometres to Port Moresby and were often turned away without receiving care. Joanne now travels to the nearby town of Kwikila to collect government-issued medicines and returns to Kemabolo to treat those in need. This work also includes a vaccination program.

The Sunshine Coast is set to lose its direct air link to Auckland after Jetstar Australia confirmed it will suspend the service from 24 October, citing weak demand and rising operating costs.
Ted O'Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax and Andrew Wallace - LNP Federal Member for Fisher have condemned the decision, describing it as a major setback for tourism, local businesses and employment across the region.
Mr O’Brien said the route had provided an important connection for visitors and business travellers and warned that increasing aviation taxes, including the Passenger Movement Charge, were placing pressure on airlines operating regional international services.
He said the loss of the route was particularly concerning as the Sunshine Coast prepares to play a significant role in the #Brisbane2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, when strong international connectivity will be vital for attracting visitors and boosting economic activity.
Mr Wallace said every international flight supported accommodation providers, restaurants, retailers and tourism operators, and argued that rising government charges were making regional routes less viable.
Both MPs pledged to continue advocating for stronger aviation connections to ensure the Sunshine Coast remains accessible and competitive. ... See MoreSee Less

The Lowy Institute is an independent Australian think-tank founded in 2003 to conduct research into international political, strategic and economic issues from an Australian perspective. For the past 21yrs, Lowy has conducted a poll into how Australians feel about the world. Their 2026 findings were released in late June.
Australians’ trust in the United States (US) to act responsibly in the world has fallen to 31%, the lowest level ever recorded in the Lowy Institute Poll. By contrast, trust in China rose 8 points from last year to 28%, narrowing the gap with the US to just 3 points. That gap was 53 points in 2022.
Australians remain trusting of liberal democracies. For the 6th year running, Japan was the most trusted power, with 89% of Australians saying they trust Japan to act responsibly in the world. Germany emerged as the next most trusted power (83%), followed by the UK at 81%. Trust in Indonesia (57%) and India (50%) remained moderate. New Zealand topped the “feelings thermometer” for the 16th year at 86%, followed by Canada at 79%. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_146/25 ...
