Letting my 11-year-old go fishing alone taught me more about parenting than I expected
Don't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. When my 11-year-old asked if he could go fishing with his mates - no adults, just the kids - I felt like he was asking to walk into the wilderness with a butter knife and a prayer. Never mind that the river is five minutes from our house. Or that he's more responsible than half the adults I know. My gut response? Absolutely not. But then, I remembered my own childhood. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. We find it hard to let our kids go out into the world. Image: Supplied Rusty pipes, sea caves and absolutely no helmets My husband grew up in Scotland, where his days were spent roaming castle ruins and fields with his cousins. Meanwhile, I was in suburban Sydney, riding my bike through backstreets, looking for whichever house had a pile of bikes out the front - the universal 1980s sign for 'your mates are here'. We'd spend hours in the bush on dodgy homemade skate ramps, exploring sea caves, balancing on rusted pipelines that led to the oyster farms, and jumping on trains to the beach with a few coins and a muesli bar. No one knew where we were. Our only job was to be home before dark, or call from a payphone if we were angling for a sleepover. RELATED: I 'underparent' - but no need to call the cops, the kids are fine Stranger danger was a sticker on a mailbox Stranger danger was covered once a year at school, and some houses had 'Safety House' stickers on the mailbox - little yellow signs letting kids know someone inside could be trusted if things went sideways. That was it. Good luck, kids. Have fun out there. Our kids? Not so much. Now we worry like it's our full-time job. We worry. Constantly. Maybe it's the internet. Maybe it's the heartbreaking stories of kids like Daniel Morcombe, Madeleine McCann and William Tyrrell, embedded in our collective memory. Whatever it is, we've raised our children like the big bad wolf is waiting around every corner. We look back now and realise we may have overcorrected. RELATED: The benefits of unstructured free play We were free-range. Our kids are on leashes. We live near the water, and for years we've watched local kids - same age as ours - walking past our house with tackle boxes and rods. 'I can't believe their parents let them go alone,' we'd gasp, clutching our invisible pearls. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. Our kids would beg to walk to the park by themselves. And we - who once balanced barefoot on rusted steel pipelines - would drive them and awkwardly loiter in the background like overgrown hall monitors. But lately… we've had an epiphany. Maybe we've been a bit much. Enter: The Fish Kid Our youngest, now 11, is a devoted fisherman. He watches fishing YouTube channels religiously, learning knots and techniques with the same intensity other kids reserve for Fortnite. He begs his dad to take him down to the river every spare weekend. A couple of his friends are part of a crew of regular local fishers. They trot off after school with their gear and are home by dusk - sun-kissed, muddy, beaming. And our son? He's been begging to go with them. Non-stop. So last weekend, we caved. RELATED: I'm a self-confessed helicopter parent… and I know I need to stop Why is so hard to give our kid a little independence? Image: Supplied. IF IF IF IF IF We agreed. With conditions. He could go: If they fished at the spot five minutes from our house. If he took a phone. If he promised to call if he felt unsafe or unsure. If he was okay with me 'swinging past' (read: low-key stalking from a respectful distance). If he answered his phone. Every ten minutes. Without fail. His friends didn't even roll their eyes. Not to my face, anyway. They were just thrilled he could come. They practically beamed. I, meanwhile, turned into a phone pest. "Mum, I'm trying to catch a fish. Can we not?!" 'MUM, I CAN'T TALK. Brodie saw an eel, we're trying to catch it!' 'MUM, I'M FINE. That noise? That's just Kaden laughing. We're trying to use red frog lollies as bait.' 'MUM… WHAAAAT?' He had the best time. So what's really changed? Why was I so worried? Sure, we've got more data, more headlines, more fear than our parents had - but has the world really become more dangerous, or have we just lost the ability to let go a little? I don't have the perfect answer. I still tracked his location. I still hovered in the background. I still felt a pit in my stomach that didn't fully go away until he came home, sunburnt and proud, holding up a photo of a fish his friend caught. But I also felt something else. Pride. That he's ready for these tiny steps of independence. And maybe pride that I'm finally ready too. Our own parents wouldn't have even known if we were out fishing! Image: Supplied. Maybe this is what parenting is meant to feel like Because as much as we joke that we're raising our kids in bubble wrap, what we're really trying to do is raise them to be capable, confident, and okay without us - eventually. And sometimes, that starts with letting them go fishing. Originally published as Letting my 11-year-old go fishing alone taught me more about parenting than I expected

Ethics committee finds David Crisafulli failed to declare $200,000 payment to liquidators
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli failed to declare a $200,000 payout to liquidators pursuing an insolvent trading claim against him, a parliamentary committee has found. The failure of Mr Crisafulli to list the liability on his MP register of interests was "careless", the bipartisan ethics committee found in a report tabled on Friday. But the committee absolved Mr Crisafulli of any contempt of parliament, saying it could not find adequate evidence that he had knowingly failed to disclose the payout tied to a private training company he had run. Mr Crisafulli maintained the report had cleared him of wrongdoing but refused to answer how he had paid for the $200,000. "I've met my obligations," he said at least four times. The committee's findings stem from exclusive ABC reports last year revealing liquidators of the training organisation SET Solutions believed it may have been trading insolvent from the day Mr Crisafulli started as a director. The ABC later revealed Mr Crisafulli had paid $200,000 to settle the insolvent trading claims. During a break from politics in 2015, Mr Crisafulli took a job as sole director and chief executive of Melbourne-based SET Solutions. The company received government funding to teach courses ranging from health administration to freight handling. But the company had been struggling financially long before he took the role on December 1, 2015. Mr Crisafulli only stayed until April 1, 2016, and the company collapsed into voluntary liquidation on June 30, 2016. Liquidators from PwC subsequently told creditors their investigations "indicate the company appears to have traded while insolvent from at least December 1, 2015". They pursued an insolvent trading claim against Mr Crisafulli. Mr Crisafulli signed a deed of settlement with the liquidators and made three payments while he was in Opposition: $80,000 in March 2020, $60,000 in July 2020, and $60,000 in July 2021. "The payments were made with the joint understanding of no admission of liability and no findings made against me," Mr Crisafulli told the ethics committee, in a letter tabled in its report. MPs are required to declare liabilities of more than $19,000 but Mr Crisafulli disputed the notion the upcoming payment to the liquidators constituted the definition of liability. "I note that the payments were made in order to compromise certain statutory claims that a party was threatening to pursue by litigation but which had not been established," he wrote. A finding of contempt of parliament would have required the committee to establish on the balance of probabilities that the premier knowingly failed to list the debt. Mr Crisafulli maintained to the committee he never believed he had a liability to declare. The committee determined there was "evidence that the premier ought to have known that such payments were to be declared or at least sought the Registrar's advice". That included him having met with the Clerk of Parliament to discuss requirements of the register. But Mr Crisafulli never sought advice about if he should have declared the liquidator debt. "In hindsight, I should have sought the advice of the Clerk," he told the committee. The committee said Mr Crisafulli's thinking at the time "appears to have been mistakenly focused on dealing with the issue in the context of director liabilities under corporate law rather than his [register disclosure] obligations". The committee also noted it could not "identify how the alleged failure to declare the liability would give rise to a conflict of interest or a perception of a conflict of interest between the premier's private interests and the public interest". Mr Crisafulli declined to discuss whether he had been under any financial stress at the time the payments were being made. Listed assets and liabilities on Mr Crisafulli's register at the time include a multi-property portfolio and six mortgages with Bank of Queensland. Mr Crisafulli's splitting of $200,000 in liquidation settlement payments into three tranches over 16 months raised speculation within the insolvency industry about whether it indicated a degree of financial strain. The ABC can reveal that 10 months after that last payment was made, Mr Crisafulli's private family company Crisafulli Financial Services offloaded a property in Townsville for $230,000 — crystallising a $57,000 gross loss after holding the property for almost 12 years. Advertisements for the sale, which conceded the property "needs work", show a rapid push to sell with the price heavily knocked down. "The owner's instructions are clear, and this will be gone before the end of the financial year so it's a situation of first in best dressed!" the advertisement said. Deputy Opposition Leader Cameron Dick pointed to Mr Crisafulli last year maintaining he had met his obligations, when asked if he should have declared the liquidator liability. "David Crisafulli has been saying over and over that's he complied with his obligations. Well, he did not," he said. "That is in black and white in this report. Mr Dick also said serious questions remained for Mr Crisafulli to answer how the settlement payment was made. "Where did the money come from? Where did the $200,000 come from — you know, who's got $200,000 lying around in a bank account that he can just use to pay this?"

Qld police to ask coroner to review death of Roma woman Tayla Spies
Police have confirmed a report into the death of missing Roma mother Taylor Spies will be forwarded to the coroner. Ms Spies's remains were found near her car on a private property at Noorindoo, 450 kilometres west of Brisbane, on April 4 after a two-month search. Her white dual cab Toyota Hilux was found on the same rural property by the landholder the day before searchers found her body. The last reported sighting of Ms Spies was when CCTV captured her leaving a Dalby motel at 8am on Sunday, February 2. Her vehicle was seen at the intersection of Burrowes Street and Cordelia Street in Surat at 11:10am the same day. Her disappearance sparked an eight-week search, with police, the State Emergency Service and public volunteers scouring 9,000 square kilometres of remote bushland in outback Queensland. A social media campaign by Ms Spies's family and friends raised $5,000 for a reward for information that could solve the mystery. Police said investigations would continue, pending new information.
