Last week we farewelled my friend, Annette Brodie. Annette was a stalwart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, of the Beerwah Charity Sports Day and of the LNP - Liberal National Party. You’ve heard of “Charlie’s Angels”. Well, alongside her friends Mavis, Marlene and Coral, we often joked that Annette was one of “Andrew’s Angels”. Now she really is. Thank you, Annette. We love you. We miss you. Rest easy. 😞 ... See MoreSee Less
