New Hope
Who could ever forget Stacy Keep? She was the young mum who lost so much in the Queensland floods. Her 18-month-old daughter, Jessie, was ripped from her arms by the wall of water that swept through town. Her mother and her mother-in-law also died. When Michael Usher met Stacy, he wished desperately that there was some way to ease her pain. Well, six weeks ago, the Keep family welcomed a little baby girl into their lives. She’s helping them heal but it’s hard to move forward when there are still so many questions about the events of the past. And when you hear about the bureaucratic bungling that allowed this tragedy to happen, you’ll understand why the people of Grantham are so very angry.

Frozen Fortunes
Liam Bartlett wondered what on earth he’d done wrong when we packed him off to the desolate wilds of Siberia. After all, it’s not the kind of place you generally visit willingly. People used to be dragged there in chains and then worked to death, but this gigantic frozen slab of Russia is getting an image makeover. It may never rival New York or Paris as a tourist destination but right now, there’s a minerals boom going on that dwarfs anything that’s happening in Australia. And, if you’re an investor right now, icy Siberia is hot, hot, hot.
