AFL WAG Kellie Finlayson shares hack for people suffering cancer that cannot get insurance - as she continues to battle the illness
Kellie Finlayson has shared a useful hack for people facing drastic health issues. The AFL WAG, 29, said cancer sufferers should get insurance for 'everything' since no provider will sign a client with an existing health issue. Kellie, who has won admiration from followers for her upbeat outlook while facing a terminal diagnosis for bowel cancer, included a photo of herself in the post smiling hopefully. The mother-of-one made her comments during an Instagram question and answer in which a follower asked about health coverage. 'Travelling with stage 4 cancer and not being able to get insurance. How to work through?' the follower asked. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Get insurance for everything else, no one will ever cover for an existing illness/injury, cancer is just one of them!' Kellie replied. Typically, the social media favourite shared a positive spin, adding, 'You can either live with cancer at home or on holiday,' she said. It comes after Kellie recently revealed the emotional challenges of dealing with her diagnosis in a candid new interview. Kellie, who is married to Port Adelaide star Jeremy Finlayson, is battling stage four bowel and lung cancer and has undergone thoracic surgery in recent months. She was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and revealed in 2022 that the illness had spread to her lungs. Appearing on the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show podcast's Safe Space series earlier this month, Kellie, who was promoting her new memoir There Must Be More, said that she was 'thriving' in the wake of her diagnosis. When Jess asked Kellie what she meant by 'thriving', she said it was all about changing her frame of mind. 'It completely comes from mindset,' she said. 'I feel like I still live each day the same as I used to, if not with more life, if that makes sense,' she said. 'I turned a really s***ty situation into a pretty incredible one and a really powerful one with a lot of purpose.' Kellie added that one of the challenges of battling cancer could be how the diagnosis robs the sufferer of agency. 'We don't get many choices when we're diagnosed. We get: Start this treatment or die, essentially. They're your options - get really, really sick from this treatment, or don't be here anymore,' she said. Kellie added that one choice still in front of her was how she chose to fight the disease emotionally. 'The only choice I guess I did have was how I responded to that and how I almost copped it on the chin – like an insult,' she said. '[I] got on with life and did the things I could do to make each day okay, initially, and now great.' Jess then asked Kellie if she had ever experienced "why me?" moments, with the WAG replying that it all comes down to mindset. In March, Kellie revealed she had undergone a VATS procedure to remove a piece of tissue from her lungs. VATS stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, which is a form of keyhole surgery. She revealed that doctors had removed metastatic tissue from her lungs. Metastatic tissue occurs when cancer cells spread from a primary tumour to other areas in the body to form new tumours. Kellie and Jeremy tied the knot in March 2023, in an intimate ceremony at South Australia's Tennyson Beach. They share daughter Sophia, three, who was born in 2021, just months before Kellie was first diagnosed.

British women rowing across Pacific Ocean reach halfway point
Two British women are halfway through an epic, 8,000-mile challenge to row across the Pacific Payne, 25, from East Yorkshire, and Jess Rowe, 28, from Hampshire, set off from Peru on 5 May after an earlier attempt failed when their boat broke in rough seas and they had to be rescued by a Payne's father, Christopher, said they were about 4,000 miles (6,500 km) away from their target of Australia and had about 12 weeks to pair had seen "a fantastic amount of wildlife, whales, dolphins, flying fish hitting them in the face", and were regularly stung by jellyfish when cleaning the hull, he added. "They've seen nothing on the ocean in the way of boats, nobody," Mr Payne told BBC Radio pair, who call their team Seas the Day, faced a "race against time" to cross the ocean before the start of cyclone season after their rudder broke during an initial attempt at the beginning of had to be rescued about 350 miles from the coast of Lima and towed back to shore. A Norfolk-based boat builder then worked around the clock to make a replacement Payne, from Market Weighton, started rowing when she was at university in Glasgow and completed a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in met Miss Rowe in Antigua at the finish line of the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge, in February of that year. Mr Payne said the Pacific challenge had taken three years to plan and there was a team of people in the UK supporting the two rowers."They've met the challenge incredibly well because they've had a lot of setbacks," he said."They obviously broke the rudder and had to come back, they've got electrical problems, they got water-maker problems so it's make do and mend."They'll get through it."The rowers are raising money for the Outward Bound Trust to highlights from Hull and East Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Updates To Deposit Takers Act Implementation Timeline And Standards
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand - Te Pūtea Matua has today published an updated implementation timeline for incoming changes to the prudential regulatory regime for deposit takers. The Deposit Takers Act 2023 (DTA) modernises the regulatory framework to help ensure the safety and soundness of deposit takers and support a stable financial system that New Zealanders can trust. DTA standards will be issued by 31 May 2027 and come into effect on 1 December 2028. 'The standards bring to life the prudential requirements deposit takers will need to meet to be licensed under the DTA,' Director Prudential Policy Jess Rowe says. Public consultation on the proposed standards took place across 2024 and 2025. 'We're grateful for the insightful feedback received from submitters, and we're now hard at work preparing the exposure drafts of the standards,' Ms Rowe says. Exposure draft consultation will take place in three tranches, starting in October 2025. Licensing of existing deposit takers will occur over an 18-month window, running from 1 June 2027 to 30 November 2028, ahead of the standards coming into effect on 1 December of that year. The change means all banks and non-bank deposit takers will be licensed under a single, coherent regulatory regime. In late 2025, we hope to communicate information about our approach to licensing existing deposit takers under the DTA. Changes to the DTA implementation timeline were necessary to allow time for a review of key capital settings, announced on 31 March 2025. DTA standards were previously planned to come into effect in July 2028. Response to submissions on the non-core standards In 2024, we received 25 submissions to public consultation on DTA non-core standards. In response to feedback, we have made changes to further support a proportionate approach, reduce the impact of compliance on deposit takers, and enhance potential competition in the market. Changes resulting from consultation include removing prescriptive detail and making requirements more flexible in certain areas. Our overall assessment remains that we are striking a good balance between our primary financial stability mandate and our purposes and principles, including proportionality and competition. Terminology explained Core standards These are the standards that we will use as the criteria to determine the eligibility of existing banks and NBDTs for relicensing under the DTA. Non-core standards These are the other standards that all deposit takers will need to comply with when the DTA standards regime starts but will not be used for relicensing existing deposit takers. Deposit takers will need to comply with all standards when they come into force in 2028.

Kellie Finlayson shares emotional update about the challenges she faces following terminal cancer diagnosis
Kellie Finlayson has revealed the emotional challenges of dealing with her terminal cancer diagnosis in a candid new interview. The AFL WAG, 29, who is married to Port Adelaide star Jeremy Finlayson, is battling stage four bowel and lung cancer and has undergone thoracic surgery in recent months. She was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and revealed in 2022 that the illness had spread to her lungs.

'I feel like I still live each day the same as that I used to, if not with more life, if that makes sense.' Jess then asked Kellie if she had ever experienced "why me?" moments with the WAG replying that, it all comes down to mindset. 'I've had my "why me?" moments obviously. If I hadn't I'd be a bloody psychopath,' she admitted. 'It did take me a little bit of time, but I realised that I could flip that and have more of the 'why not me?' approach. 'Multiple people are diagnosed every single day with this exact cancer. Why shouldn't it be me? Why shouldn't it be someone that can give so much purpose to it? Someone that can thrive with it? 'Why should it be an 80-year-old woman that is so frail that she'll probably last three months and give us another bad statistic?' Kellie's candid admission comes after she recently gave a heartbreaking insight into what she thinks about while undergoing chemotherapy. Speaking with Woman's Day in April, she revealed there's a moment in the memoir where she writes about a time she 'didn't want to wake up' and 'asked the nurses to turn off the machines'. 'I talk about the days I didn't want to wake up and a time I asked nurses to turn off the machines. There are emotions there Jeremy didn't even know I had,' Kellie told the magazine. 'It was a very naked feeling when it was released but it's also the best thing I've ever done. People can understand where I've been.' In March, Kellie revealed she had undergone a VATS procedure to remove a piece of tissue from her lungs. VATS stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, which is a form of keyhole surgery. She revealed that doctors had removed metastatic tissue from her lungs. Metastatic tissue occurs when cancer cells spread from a primary tumour to other areas in the body to form new tumours. The young mum published a clip of herself lying in a hospital bed, writing: 'Me a week ago'. In the next frame, Finlayson looked bright and well, sharing a brief clip of two scars on the left side of her rib cage following the surgery. 'Just over a week ago I was having a VATS wedge resection on my right lung to remove Mets and send off tissue to pathology in hope for more answers/better treatment plans,' Kellie captioned the video. 'I've had soooo many people checking in to see how I'm doing, thank you!!! 'And honestly, I'm so fine. Which I know is incredible given the major surgery I've just undergone and I know not everyone is as lucky. But hey, I'll take the wins when I can get them in this never-ending experience.' Kellie and Jeremy tied the knot in March 2023, in an intimate ceremony at South Australia's Tennyson Beach. They share daughter Sophia, three, who was born in 2021, just months before Kellie was first diagnosed.
