'I am such a proud Brisbane-born, Gold Coast-raised girl, who never in her wildest imagination thought she'd be the face of her home state's major tourism brand,' Alexander said.
'I want people to hear this song and feel a rush of excitement – like they need to book a Queensland getaway immediately.'

Two Aussies to score multimillion-dollar homes in My Reno Rules
A brand-new renovation reality show, My Reno Rules, is set to hit screens and it's turning the real estate game on its head. Fronted by Dr Chris Brown, the series will see four Aussie battler teams go head-to-head to transform two neighbouring homes in a picturesque Melbourne suburb, all with a multimillion-dollar prize on the line. But this time, the real winners could be watching from the couch. In a television first, two lucky Australians will score the keys to the spectacularly renovated homes, fully furnished, landscaped, and packed with luxury features, simply by tuning in. The renovation teams will be vying for a cash prize. "It may be the biggest giveaway ever on Australian TV," Brown told Seven's Sunrise on Thursday. "If you're not especially gifted on a circular saw or picking a colour palette, it's quite appealing to know at the end of this series, live, you could win the homes you have just seen created during the show. "It is remarkable. It is an enormous, life-changing prize. These are two Australians who are going to get a brand-new designer home." The homes, donated by LMCT+ founder Adrian Portelli, will be completely overhauled on screen, with the renovation teams competing for a separate cash prize. And as one of the partners of the show, will be helping Aussies follow every nail gun, paint swatch and property transformation from start to finish, with exclusive content, expert insights and digital tools to help viewers understand what really adds value to a home. "On previous reno shows, they might do auctions and, unfortunately, only 1 per cent of the viewing audience have the capacity to buy those homes," Portelli said. "So, it's an awesome feeling to be able to take the viewers on an emotional journey, watch the houses get renovated and transformed into a dream luxury home, then potentially win it. "It's fantastic. It's phenomenal." Whether you're renovating your own place or just love stickybeaking into stunning spaces, this is must-watch television. Seven's Director of Television Angus Ross said My Reno Rules takes all the emotion, competition and high-stakes drama of My Kitchen Rules and brings it into the property world, with even higher rewards. "With showstopping house transformations, a life-changing cash prize for our winning team of renovators, and two multimillion-dollar dream homes up for grabs in an electrifying live grand final, we couldn't be more excited for the premiere of My Reno Rules. "It's going to be next level."

Newborn baby dies from rare genetic condition which scans failed to pick up
Moments after Dylan and Rochelle Evrard were pronounced husband and wife, they were showered with pink confetti. Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun played over a loudspeaker as they celebrated with family and friends. WARNING: This article includes information and images relating to pregnancy loss and neonatal loss, which some readers may find distressing. The newlyweds were expecting their first baby and their Gold Coast wedding in March 2023 doubled as a gender reveal. Rochelle was 22 weeks' pregnant. Milli Rose Remidy Evrard was conceived naturally after years of trying. Rochelle had severe endometriosis — when tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus, affecting a woman's ability to conceive. Surgery paved the way for pregnancy. The Evrards' baby daughter was born by caesarean section in the Pindarra Private Hospital at Benowa, on the southern Gold Coast, about four months after their wedding. Their tiny, much-wanted, baby girl had two broken arms and two broken legs after the delivery. Scans and tests during the pregnancy had failed to pick up Milli had an extremely rare genetic condition, despite Rochelle complaining about failing to feel her moving during the pregnancy. "My whole pregnancy, I was expressing that I was a bit concerned," she said. "I never had a kick count." Within hours of her birth on July 14, Milli was transferred to the Mater Mothers' Hospital neonatal critical care unit (NCCU) in Brisbane. She opened her eyes and locked them onto her dad Dylan as she was placed in an ambulance for the drive north to Brisbane. Milli died in her parents' arms six days later. Amid the grief, they feel blessed they had almost a week with her. "She was beautiful," Rochelle said. "When we touched her, she reacted. She couldn't move her body but her little toes would go or her little fingers. The Evrards' home at Mudgeeraba, in the Gold Coast hinterland, had been meticulously prepared to take their baby home. They had a baby capsule in their car, a baby bath in the bathroom and a nursery decorated in pink. "I remember years ago somebody saying, 'No one ever prepares you for an empty capsule in the car when your baby dies,'" Rochelle said. "When we were in the last day with Milli, I just said, 'Someone needs to go find our car and remove the capsule.' "And so, someone did, and for months I didn't even know who had it and I didn't care but I just did not want to drive home with an empty car capsule." Rochelle was 37 at the time and unsure whether she would be able to have any more children. "Things were not on our side fertility-wise." Before she died, doctors took skin biopsies from Milli for genetic testing. Months later, the tests revealed she had nemaline rod myopathy, a musculoskeletal disorder that affects about one in 50,000 live births. Further testing of both Rochelle and Dylan found neither carried the genetic variant that resulted in Milli's condition. Queensland Children's Hospital clinical geneticist David Coman said her disorder was caused by a mutation in the ACTA1 gene. Rather than being inherited from her parents, Professor Coman said the genetic variant was known medically as a "de novo mutation" — a gene that spontaneously changed at the point of conception or during early cell division. "If you can figure why that happens, you'll win a Nobel prize for genetics," he said. Milli had what was effectively a small spelling mistake in her DNA with big consequences. Her muscles were so weak she had to be put on life support soon after her birth. Professor Coman said her bones were also affected. "Babies who don't move in the womb often have really thin bones," he said. "It's kind of like the equivalent of osteoporosis. It you have surgery, and you lie in bed for six weeks, you lose a lot of bone density." Professor Coman said sophisticated genetic sequencing did not always pinpoint a cause of death, but it was important to try. "In a third of rare presentations, we don't get an answer … so, we do have families that are in limbo," he said. "But for this family and families where we get an answer, even if it's a life-limiting answer, there is still what we call dignity in diagnosis. It gave them information. That's really important for the grieving process as well, an understanding of what happened and why. Armed with the knowledge they had not passed the disorder on to their daughter, the Evrards began in vitro fertilisation (IVF) about four months after Milli died. After a miscarriage and further endometriosis surgery, Rochelle fell pregnant again in September last year. Huey Hendrix Evrard was born in the Gold Coast Private Hospital on May 2. Rochelle, who has a tattoo on her right leg in memory of Milli, admits she struggled through Huey's pregnancy after losing her first-born. "Even though I knew he was healthy, and he didn't have Milli's condition, I just kept saying: 'What if he dies? What if he just dies?'" the 39-year-old said. "I wasn't guaranteed that he was going to be here at the end, and it was very stressful. "At one stage, I was going in three times a week. I was going in very panicked, quite often for reassurance … just into the maternity ward. I'd go sit in there for a few hours. They would check his heart rate and his oxygen and just kind of reassure me." Not even three months into their life with Huey, Rochelle is relishing the constant feeding routine — even the late night and early morning wakeups. "He sounds like a goat in the middle of the night. He's very loud," she said with a laugh. "Last night, we were up probably every two hours, but I just love it. You appreciate it a whole lot more when you didn't have it last time, you really do. "Huey's been very healing — more than I could have imagined."

Plucked from the airport check-in queue to sing with major European orchestra
In late January 2015, Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg was in Berlin preparing to board a flight to Zurich for an audition when her agent called. 'Do you know the Brahms German Requiem?' he asked. 'And could you start singing it today with the Berlin Philharmonic?' Stagg immediately said 'yes' to both questions, gathered her luggage, and grabbed a cab to the Philharmonie concert hall, where the singer who had been due to perform had been taken ill. 'And, suddenly, I was rehearsing with the Berlin Phil and Christian Thielemann,' she says. 'What I didn't know, though, is at the end, after I sang he [Thielemann] looked over his shoulder slowly, and at the back of the hall, there were several figures in suits who I think were the executive team of the Phil. And he just gave them a very slow nod, like, 'Yes, she'll do'.' Later that week, Stagg gave three performances to packed houses that included legendary tenor Placido Domingo and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 'It was so fast that I almost didn't have time to get nervous,' she says. 'I didn't have any time for that. There was a task to be done, and I did it.' Stagg's Sliding Doors moment at Berlin airport helped catapult her to the top of the European circuit and engagements at major concert halls and opera houses there. It's been a long journey for Stagg from rural Victoria where she grew up the middle child of three to teacher parents, singing along to the pop songs of the day into an ice-cream cone 'microphone'. 'Music was always something I loved, but I was led to believe it was a hobby,' she says. 'I still can't really believe that I do it as my profession now.' An early key moment in her career came when Stagg was just 11 years old. 'My grandfather had passed away in East Gippsland and all the extended family went there for the funeral,' she says. 'I led the congregation, just totally untrained, in singing Amazing Grace. At the end of the wake a distant cousin slipped a hundred dollar note into my hand with a card that read, 'This is for your first singing lessons, and please invite me when you sing at the Sydney Opera House'.' Stagg took those singing lessons and thrived, going on to Melbourne University to study music, singing in the Trinity College Choir, which proved invaluable training. 'The repertoire changes every week,' she says. 'So you have to get very fit at reading and singing what's on the page.' It was also in Melbourne that Stagg first saw an orchestra play live. Loading 'It was the university student orchestra, and it was the first time I'd heard these instruments: a clarinet, a flute, a trumpet,' she says. 'I probably would've heard them without realising in film scores, but I'd never seen them and identified that that's the colour that I'm hearing. I was just blown away and I was like, 'Wow, I've got a lot to catch up on'!' After Melbourne, Stagg was selected for the Salzburg Festival Young Singers program and appointed a soloist at the Deutsche Oper Berlin where, she says, she 'learned her craft'. 'I was six years as a principal soloist in Berlin,' she says. 'My training up until then had been music, but not really any of the stagecraft that opera requires. In German houses you go through a huge volume of repertoire in a year. I was able to learn in a 12-month season probably 12 or 15 productions - small roles, medium roles, some big roles.' Next week, Stagg will finally get to perform for the first time on the Joan Sutherland Theatre stage at the Sydney Opera House with Opera Australia. Stagg will sing the role the servant Susanna in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, widely regarded as one of the most demanding in the soprano repertoire. 'Susanna is a role that I love,' she says. 'I love playing her. She is a very relatable character, funny and sincere at the same time.' 'I love playing Susanna. She is a very relatable character, funny and sincere at the same time.' Siobhan Stagg And while this will be her first appearance on the Joan Sutherland Stage it is not her first time performing at the Sydney Opera House itself. She sang in the Concert Hall there in 2016 alongside tenor Roberto Alagna. And it was then she was able to fulfil her part of the bargain to the distant relative who set her on the path to stardom all those years ago in East Gippsland. 'I was able to invite that cousin and thank her for changing my life,' says Stagg. 'It was a beautiful full circle.'
