| "I decided then I would be much nicer to myself and rest more and keep a nutritious diet and have a more balanced life. I did a lot of simplyfying, gave myself permission to be more self- nuturing. I think all women should do that. Take preventative steps to fight against breast cancer. There is a lot of evidence to show that a low fat diet, not being overweight, exercising, reducing stress, all increase your changes of not getting breast cancer.'' | 610 |

You cannot always detect a lump yourself.'' | 612 |

| "The Premier has been particularly concerned about private divers going out in their own boats and not being covered by public liability insurance in the case of an accident,'' Mr Riddell said. | 694 |
| "Those permits would require a signature from the diver acknowledging they were trained and prepared for the dive, and also that they accepted full responsibility for their actions.'' | 698 |
| "Understandably the Federal Government has said it wants a decision shortly or it will look at other options,'' Mr Riddell added. | 700 |
| "Hopefully providing this legal opinion will clear the final hurdle.'' | 702 |

| "Hopefully others will speak out too and something might happen,'' she said. | 736 |
| "I've been told that if I had private cover I could get an operation in two weeks. But I can't work so I can't afford it. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. And there is no end in sight.'' | 736 |
| "I'm always taking anti inflammatories just to remain functioning. It's also causing problems further up my spine because I have been walking to favour it,'' she said. | 738 |
| "I'm only 43 and I've got a lot of active life left. I can't live the next 20 years like this.'' | 740 |
| "Unless concessions are made in their negotiations with doctors this problem will only get worse.'' | 744 |

| "She couldn't hold the phone to talk,'' Ms O'Brien said. | 758 |
| When I was posted to Australia I wanted to visit all of the Filipino communities and this is part of that commitment,'' Mr Gaa said. | 768 |
| The bombings certainly affect the Philippines region,'' he said. | 770 |
| But our history of strong ties goes back before these bombings.'' | 772 |
| Both our nations are now in a fight against terror, part of a common front with the rest of the world.'' | 776 |
| We've had incredible growth when you consider we started in the old Lensworth office at Currimundi with 12 trainees and two trainers in June last year,'' he said. | 784 |
| We'll start advertising for staff from this weekend I wouldn't be surprised if we had around 200 employees by June,'' Mr Weston said. | 786 |
| I'm extremely pleased with the quality of staff we've been able to recruit.'' | 786 |
| We were always drawing firetrucks and helicopters, we wanted to be firefighters. We were also going to live in an old airplane, deck it out and put carpet on the walls,'' she said with a grin. | 796 |

| We've got to be strong for him now.'' | 806 |

| She auditioned on a borrowed instrument I think she's on cloud nine right now,'' her mum Amy Compton-Keen said. | 820 |
| It (the euphonium) was sitting in a canefield for a few months. The bag was quite wet but the instrument wasn't damaged.'' | 822 |
| The race has definitely come a long way in 20 years,'' 51-year-old O'Neill said. | 830 |
| The transition areas weren't even roped off, so your bikes just sat in the park.'' | 832 |
| But he still holds most dear the feeling of achievement he gets each year as he crosses the finish line: Just getting through the race is the best part for me. I've had injuries for the last three years, so it's a good feeling just to get through and finish it.'' | 834 |
| But I do not feel I am the champion until I have beaten Carmen Marton from Victoria,'' she said. | 842 |
| She did not compete this time because she has been in Greece for the World Cup, where she won silver.'' | 842 |
| I have been working as a waitress but they (the firm) told me they had to put me off,'' she said. | 846 |
| I am now looking to get into the tourism area.'' | 848 |

| When I first came up from Brisbane, people used to refer to Landsbrough as the town of the way to Maleny,'' Mr Morrow, who owns Landsborough Pub said. | 892 |
| Part of what today was about was telling people Landborough is the gateway to the Blackall Range. Stop here, have a cold beer, see all that the town has to offer, visit our great museum.'' | 894 |
| Everyone had a lot of fun. The support from the community groups and and business people has been wonderful. It's great to see what can be achieved when everyone gets together.'' | 896 |

| But in the third set I came back, I thought this is it, this is the final day of the Satellite Tour, I have to dig deep'.'' | 908 |

| I gave him my all in the last game, I just couldn't break him,'' the 27-year-old Tennis Australia vetran said. | 912 |
| It was very disappointing that we had all the no-shows from the Brisbane and Gold Coast runners,'' she said. | 932 |
| When you're running with a pack you have the other runners' backs to focus on and you're thinking about the tactics of the race, but when there's no-one else it makes it a very long 25 laps.'' | 936 |
| We're not anticipating any problems over the weekend,'' Insp Neilson said. | 956 |
| It's just about all the brothers and their families getting together for a holiday,'' Bandidos secretary Sep'' said. | 958 |

| It's too near churches, Lifeline, the scouts and girl guides and in that area higher-density residential development is going to come in thick and fast. To me they should get out and set up near the brothel at Kunda Park.'' | 986 |
| I'll certainly have a champagne over this one,'' Sunshine Coast Turf Club chairman Les Geeves said after the QR approved the Caloundra City Cup meeting as the state's metropolitan meeting for July 5, 2003. | 1004 |

| "Both countries have suffered a terrible loss,'' he said. | 1074 |

| "The day of mourning will give all Australians an opportunity to express their grief at the terrible events of October 12 and to show that terror will only serve to strengthen us as a nation and strengthen our resolve for peace.'' | 1078 |
| "I normally fly to Brisbane and then drive up but the cost of the Virgin flight was so good I decided to fly direct,'' he said. | 1082 |
| "We were having so much fun I got a bit carried away,'' Mr Feehan said. | 1086 |
| "It means we'll have around 420,000 seats a year coming into the airport,'' he said. | 1088 |
| "When you consider the figures show that for every extra 167 people that come in, one new job is created, Virgin Blue's arrival is fantastic news for the local economy.'' | 1090 |
| "I thought this is a sick person I'm dealing with here _ I was afraid and I was on my own,'' she said. | 1096 |
| "We have a community consultation officer on staff and I think he could have done the work without having to spend $50,000 of ratepayers' money,'' she said. | 1112 |
| "To get impartiality, to get fairness and to be open about it,'' he said. | 1114 |
| "It needs to be someone at arm's length from the council who can pull it together and can have good, open communications,'' he said. | 1114 |
| "It went very well, the kidney started functioning immediately,'' Mrs Eaves said from the couple's Lake Cooroibah home, where she is looking after grandsons Darcy, 10, and Benjamin, 6. | 1120 |
| "Medical staff said it usually takes a couple of days for the kidney to start working, but this one must have been full of yippy beans _ it took straight away,'' she said. | 1120 |
| "I wouldn't want to go through this every day and I hope it's still functioning in 45 years,'' Mrs Eaves said. | 1126 |
| "Fortunately our specialists haven't been affected by the liability insurance issue ... the insurance companies say they're happy with the processes and procedures we have in place,'' she said. | 1132 |

| "I just want the families to know that we're thinking of them.'' | 1166 |

| And despite the fact that Australian authorities had confirmed at least 30 Australian dead, he said: "Nobody has been identified to the point of repatriation.'' | 1188 |
| "It might seem like red tape, but visual identification hastaken place in circumstances of extreme duress, and we need to be absolutely confident these are correct,'' Mr Slater said. | 1192 |
| "It is a prolonged and extraordinarily complex process.'' | 1192 |
| "There are other forensic issues to consider here,'' the official said. | 1198 |

| "He wishes to extend publicly his profound apologies to (the six victims),'' Page's lawyer Jon Tippett told the court. | 1210 |

| "The rest of Queensland has done well in the last few years, but south-east Queensland has been bad for three seasons. This is now likely to be the fourth.'' | 1276 |

| "That would never have happened in Jakarta _ people are much more suspicious there.'' | 1300 |
| "I'm not concerned about my own personal security in any way,'' he said. | 1302 |

| ``Toward the southern end they need to look at removing some of the more confusing engineering,'' he said. | 1356 |
| ``It's fair to say that confusion is a real negative in a safety sense,'' he said. | 1358 |
| ``If you're coming out of Mooloolaba you've got to get over three lanes to get over to Coolum (ie the turn-off to the north).'' | 1360 |

| "Now, some five years after gun laws were brought in, we see an increase in gun related crimes of 75%,'' he wrote in a letter. | 1446 |

| "They want me to get rid of one of them _ that's something I just won't do.'' | 1476 |

| "It's one of only half-a-dozen large parcels of waterfront land left in the area and it's the only one with a house right at the water's edge, which you are no longer allowed to do,'' Mr Reed said. | 1938 |

| Over the last two years we've had big increases in the value of waterfront and other well-located homes,'' he said. | 2274 |
| But it has really only been a catch-up, and with risks of interest rate rises not evident, a shortage of land and continued strong population growth, our market is at less risk than the capital cities.'' | 2274 |

| Kids can now go onto the internet and find out where parties are on the Sunshine Coast through chat rooms,'' he said. | 2296 |

| It's not just to police, it's to everything often these kids come from broken families and no-one seems to be taking responsibility for their behaviour,'' he said. | 2298 |

| These children will then become community members of the surf lifesaving movement no matter how far away they are from the beach,'' he said. | 2386 |
| It is pleasing that the paper acknowledges what local government in Queensland has been saying for more than a decade our roads have been underfunded, are becoming congested and unsafe, cannot cope with the increased demand placed on them and that urgent action is overdue,'' Mr Playford said. | 2404 |
| There is little doubt that the current situation is not sustainable. A coordinated efforts between all levels of government, industry and the private sector is required to deliver roads and transport links to keep local communities alive and maintain the competitiveness of the nation's regions into the future.'' | 2406 |
| It was always there, but now people have more reason to pay in cash,'' one said. | 2418 |

| It's always been the case but it's rampant now,'' Mr Potts said. | 2422 |
| Especially since the home renovator market has gone through the roof. The black economy might have tightened up in the business to business transactions but certainly not in the renovating market.'' | 2422 |

| But at 2100 it starts to get a bit creaky.'' | 2468 |
| It also created great difficulty in deciding the venues for the three days; fundamentally the competition has run on a home-and-away basis,'' Sheil said. | 2476 |
| The clubs decide the format and they have given us the basic ideas for the two rounds of home and away with the top five going into the finals.'' | 2478 |
| I'm just getting all the luck at the moment,'' Purton said. | 2486 |
| That was a bit of a surprise. Because at the time I couldn't ride a winner, and I went up there and won five,'' he said. | 2490 |
| Wests have won three in a row too and they are fairly well positioned to win again,'' Moffett said. | 2498 |
| That gives more chances of getting on a winning roll, without relying on rather one player.'' | 2502 |
| It's just wonderful,'' Helen Hamilton of Clancy's Takeaway said. | 2514 |
| Dicky had been the same forever and really needed this. We think it is beautiful and will bring so many more tourists to the area.'' | 2516 |

| "I don't care what you people think. My kids are gone. My family's gone. I'm a puppet on a string. The day I walk out of jail I'm dead. It doesn't matter to me.'' | 2582 |
| "I know you want to go up north. You can't get visitors now,'' Shane Panoho, the police officer assisting the coroner, said. | 2586 |
| "I'm sure applications can be made if you help this family (the Gaudies),'' Sgt Panoho offered. "I don't mind if you consider this an inducement or not.'' | 2586 |

| "Until we get our federal members of Parliament on the Sunshine Coast and elsewhere to get off their bums and start putting pressure on the Federal Government than we are not going to get the result we want.'' | 2606 |
| "What the Federal Government is basically doing is stealing from motorists and not putting the money back into roads.'' | 2608 |
| "If we got it back you could have a highway made of bloody gold, almost, to the Sunshine Coast.'' | 2608 |
| "We bought the land off council some time ago ... it's probably the most visible site in town,'' he said. | 2616 |
| "We've had some preliminary dialogue with a potential major tenant but it's probably a bit too early to put anything in concrete.'' | 2618 |
| "We've had some preliminary floor plans drawn up but nothing specific at this stage,'' he said. | 2620 |
| "What this announcement does for the Coast is it injects outside work into the area, which, together with existing projects will keep contractors in work for the next couple of years,'' Mr Dunbar said. | 2628 |
| "You name it, we've done it,'' she said. | 2642 |
| "Get out there and have a go,'' she said. "If you smile the world smiles with you. If you cry, you cry alone. That's my policy. | 2646 |

| "I remind divers and Sunshine Coast residents that the Liberal Member for Fisher, Peter Slipper, is on record several times promising the Federal Government will sink the ship off the Sunshine Coast and has the money to do so,'' he said. | 2678 |
| "The Federal Liberal Government is trying to squirm out of its election commitment by saying the State Government should pay for insurance premiums,'' Mr Beattie said. | 2680 |
| Asked why the Commonwealth did not just sink the ship itself, Mr Slipper said: "The Federal Government is not in the business of sinking ships. "(It) would not have the administrative infrastructure.'' | 2686 |
| "They shouldn't have lawyers investigating lawyers,'' she said. | 2690 |
| "I went in there (to the QLS) looking for help and now all my trust for lawyers is gone.'' | 2690 |
| "We'll all be in the same boat if it's left in the same system,'' she said. | 2692 |
| "The report criticises the QLS's handling of complaints, which is reason enough for the Beattie government to quickly finalise legal profession reform, including the creation of an independent body that can manage complaints without fear or favour,'' he said. | 2694 |
