The last will and relationship agreement of a Queensland rich-lister
Lloyd died in November 2023, aged 85, and was survived by children and grandchildren from his first marriage to ex-wife, Meta.
He left an estate that included his Kangaroo Point home – around the river bend from his former pink mansion at Norman Park – and Mistress, a 46-metre Italian-built superyacht, moored on the Gold Coast.
A former shipbuilder and businessman, Lloyd founded Shafston International College in Brisbane but resigned all positions in 2004 amid accusations of sexual impropriety involving students. No charges were laid.
That same year, according to documents filed in court after his death, Lloyd began a de facto relationship with 28-year-old Zamira Adib Martinez. They never married.

The pair signed a relationship agreement in 2010, which set out their financial arrangement 'with the purpose of promoting harmony between Keith and Zamira during their relationship and in order to avoid litigation between them in the event that their relationship should break down'.
The agreement noted that Adib Martinez was an accountant at Shafston International College, on a $60,000 salary, while Wright was self-employed and earning $566,332 per year.
Under the agreement, Lloyd was to pay for all joint living expenses, plus spousal maintenance of $50,000.

Furious US tourist yanks Venice ‘pickpocket' by the ponytail after tracking teen using AirPods' ‘Find My Friends' feature
Wild video shows a US tourist yanking a suspected pickpocket by the ponytail after the teenager allegedly stole her purse and passport while on vacation in Venice. Footage of the dramatic incident, which took place last Thursday, shows the furious woman gripping the teen girl by the hair in front of a crowd of onlookers in the world-famous Italian city. The mom of eight was able to track down her stolen purse by using the 'Find My Friends' feature on her AirPods, which were inside it, according to her daughter, Karis McElroy, who shared the original video of the confrontation on TikTok. Karis' mom was on vacation in Venice with her stepdad when they were crowded by a group of girls on a narrow bridge, and soon realized that her backpack had been unzipped and her purse containing her credit cards, cash and passport was missing, along with a metal water bottle. 'Her and my stepdad immediately started tracking her purse through her AirPods on Find My Friends, and they were able to track it down back to those three girls,' Karis said in a subsequent video. 'So she goes and chases them down, and she grabs one of the girls by her ponytail and does not let go. Two of the girls stay, one of the girls runs away with my mom's purse,' she went on. 'She said she didn't care about any of the other stuff in the bag, but she just at least wanted her passport so she could get home,' she said. The Airbnb host told Karis' mom that the trio were a well-known group of pickpockets in Venice and stood with her while they waited for the cops to apprehend the teenagers. All the while, the girl being held by the ponytail was screaming, with no effect on Karis' mom. 'I have eight kids, you're not getting to me,' the mom tells the suspected teen pickpocket. 'The police officers came, and they were about to arrest these girls when the girl that had the bag over her shoulder went and swung it and hit my mom, and it hit my mom in the head,' Karis said. 'And in the bag was that metal water bottle that they took from my mom. So my mom had a massive gash on her head, and it was bleeding everywhere. She got a black eye from it, and the girls were arrested. And then my mom had to go to the hospital and get some stitches.' The third girl got a train to the airport where she was stopped and Karis' mom's passport recovered, along with her credit cards, although she didn't get the cash and AirPods back, Karis said. Despite her traumatic experience, Karis said her mom had stressed how kind everyone else in Venice had been, with a jewelry store owner next door to her Airbnb even gifting her a necklace. The couple, from North Carolina, are currently on a Mediterranean cruise after boarding a ship in Venice, Karis said. The girl who was yanked by the ponytail and subsequently arrested is only 14 years old, and was released on bail just two days later, Italian outlet Il Messaggero reported.

Opera Australia names new leaders after 12 months of turmoil
Opera Australia hopes to draw a line under an extended period of uncertainty in its senior managerial ranks with the appointment of a new CEO, music director and board chairman. The company was thrown into turmoil when artistic director Jo Davies quit at the end of August 2024, after barely 18 months in the job. She was followed out the door by chief executive Fiona Allan in January, which left the company without a leader. Since then, Simon Militano has held the fort as acting CEO, with conductor Tahu Matheson as head of music. All three of the new – male – appointees are familiar faces, having had previous or current roles at the company. The new CEO will be Alexander Budd, who is well-known around Opera Australia (OA), from a 16-year stint there in a variety of roles before being appointed director of the Canberra Theatre Centre in early 2020. Italian conductor and composer Andrea Battistoni will be the new music director. Battistoni, 38, and a rising star in Europe is also no stranger to OA, having started conducting there in 2018. He will conduct Madama Butterfly and Turandot for the company next year. The trifecta is completed by new board chair Glyn Davis, who replaces Rod Sims, also the former chief of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Davis was appointed chair of the OA board in November 2021. But he relinquished the board role in September 2022 when he was recruited by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to be secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. 'We have been working together since to ensure a smooth transition,' Sims, the outgoing chair, said. 'His extensive experience and proven track record guiding Opera Australia through the changes the performing arts sector is facing makes Glyn the ideal leader to help OA navigate our next important chapter.'

ADX clinches Sicily gas permit in European energy hotspot
ASX-listed ADX Energy has finally put its foot on one of Europe's most tantalising offshore gas plays after formally receiving 100 per cent of a high-impact exploration permit covering 346 square kilometres off the western tip of Sicily in Italy. Fresh from a big in-country oil and gas exploration policy change, Italy's Environment and Energy Security Ministry has given ADX the green light for gas-only exploration after putting the company's finances, technical skills and organisational muscle through a thorough health check. ADX says the potential prize waiting for it on the back of a successful exploration program is a juicy 369 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of gas from five prime prospects. Historic 2D seismic has hinted at stacked reservoirs with top-notch, 30 per cent porosity at some of the targets and points to the potential of a juicy low-risk, high reward exploration play of cheap drilling coupled with the chance of outsized returns. The lease sits in shallow waters less than 100 metres deep, just 30 kilometres off Sicily's shoreline and comes with potential access to the Transmed pipeline, which runs directly past the permit from North Africa to its point of entry at Mazara del Vallo in western Sicily. The company's new grounds cover a patch of the Sicily Channel that has been largely overlooked for gas despite historic oil exploration and drilling. The geology is almost a carbon copy of nearby producing fields, such as Italian energy heavyweight ENI's Argo-Cassiopea offshore and Lippone-Mazara onshore discoveries, where similar stacked gas sands have delivered hefty resources from compact structural traps. If ADX's prospects end up mirroring those at Argo-Cassiopea - which holds almost 360Bcf of stacked gas across two fields in the same Miocene-Pliocene sands - the company says each of its wells could potentially pump out 20–30 million cubic feet of gas a day and notch up about 50Bcf each. Adding to the buzz, past exploration work has already lit the path. Old seismic and well logs, including those from the Nilde-2 well within the lease, strongly point to 99 per cent biogenic methane, a sweet gas requiring minimal processing. This gas appears trapped in Miocene sandstones between 700 and 2000 metres below surface. ADX lodged its bid for the Sicily Channel permit in January, hot on the heels of Italy's long-awaited policy shift that ended a freeze on new exploration licences. The freeze dated back to 2019, when Rome pulled the plug on all hydrocarbon exploration in a bid to cut carbon emissions. But Europe's scramble for alternatives to Russian gas after its Ukraine invasion flipped the script. With demand surging, Italy's new centre-right, pro-gas government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni moved quickly to revive domestic exploration, eyeing home-grown clean gas to shore up energy security. For ADX, the numbers stack up nicely. Robust European gas prices – currently around €34 (A$61) per megawatt – coupled with favourable tax terms of a 10 per cent royalty and 28 per cent corporate tax make the economics of the Sicily Channel permit hard to ignore. Moving forward, a treasure trove of old wells and 2D seismic, previously aimed at deeper oil, has given ADX a head start in sizing up its new permit. The company says it's now ready to hit the ground running by reworking seismic, picking up well logs and fast-tracking fresh 3D surveys, aiming to mature its prospects and secure an independent expert's tick to highlight the permit's full gas potential. All up, ADX's Sicily Channel prize looks like the real deal - shallow waters, stacked sands, premium pricing and a government that's suddenly rolling out the welcome mat for gas. With the groundwork already mapped and the drills not far off, the company now has a golden chance to turn an overlooked corner of the Mediterranean into a serious gas play – and the punters are likely to be watching every move.
