The 65-year-old has also previously pleaded guilty to possessing child abuse material in 2006 and to supplying a year 12 boy with drugs in Parliament House.

He is currently awaiting sentencing after a jury in April found him guilty of 26 out of 28 charges of sexual offences against four underage boys he allegedly supplied drugs to over a decade, ending in 2003.

Orkopoulos was found not guilty on one count of supplying prohibited drugs and one count of doing an act to pervert the course of justice.

Bottled water and free blood tests are on offer for students and staff after lead was detected in the water supply of a remote north Queensland educational facility.

Preliminary testing found lead present in water samples at Yarrabah State School's primary and secondary campuses, as well as the kindergarten.

Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard said "appropriate and precautionary" measures were being taken while further testing was underway to find the source of the contamination.

"The immediate health risks are minimal," Gerrard said.

"Out of an abundance of caution, children and staff at Yarrabah's kindergarten, and primary and secondary schools will use bottled water for drinking until we are certain supplies are safe to ingest."

He said it was still safe for children and staff to use the water for non-drinking purposes.

Voluntary blood tests will be available at the Gurriny Workshop Road Clinic from Friday.

The water supply to Yarrabah town as a whole does not contain lead and was safe to drink, Gerrard said.

"As is the case with any water supply, contaminants can sometimes leach into drinking water from plumbing fittings and can accumulate if taps are left unused. Running the tap usually solves the problem," he said.

"I recommend everyone in Yarrabah routinely run their kitchen tap for 30 seconds first thing in the morning in case there is corrosion in their plumbing, and for two minutes if they haven't used it for more than two days."

The water supply at the schools was tested after lead was last month found in water at the Yarrabah Health Facility in May.

Patients and staff are also being provided with bottled water, and staff with blood tests, which have so far all come back negative.

Ingestion of lead can lead to health problems, with children and unborn babies more affected than adults.

Physical contact with lead does not present a health risk.

Collapsed weight loss giant Jenny Craig has been unsuccessful in finding a buyer for its physical stores and will now "immediately cease trading" with all staff being made redundant, the business' administrators announced.

Jenny Craig Australia announced back in May it would continue to trade while administrators investigate options for restructuring the popular business, the move coming days after its US parent company officially filed for bankruptcy.

In a statement today FTI Consulting revealed it that "despite best efforts", a buyer was unable to be found and as result the company will be liquidated.

"The Administrators sought to sell the Australian and New Zealand operations of the Jenny Craig Group as a going concern with the intent of preserving as many jobs as possible and limiting the losses for creditors and sought offers from interested bidders," the statement said.

"The bidding and sale process resulted in 15 interested parties participating, four of which submitted non-binding indicative offers.

"Despite best efforts, the Administrators were unable to find a buyer for the physical stores and employees of the Australian and New Zealand business.

"The Administrators have today advised all of the employees in Australia New Zealand that a sale of the business with the stores continuing to trade and staff continuing their employment has not been achievable.

"This has resulted in a decision to immediately cease trading from stores and employees being made redundant, which is an unfortunate outcome and one which the Administrators had sought to avoid."

Queensland's Fraser Island has officially reclaimed its traditional name of K'gari, renouncing the title it held for some 180 years.

After Captain James Fraser and his wife Eliza became shipwrecked on coastline back in 1836, the spot was named after the explorer, who was later believed to have been killed by the local Indigenous inhabitants.

The push to revert the island's name back to its original title – meaning paradise in the local Butchulla language – had ramped up in recent years and follows the renaming of a number of Aussie destinations formally named after British colonial figures.

K'gari, as it will now be known, is the world's largest sand island, spanning 123 kilometres along the south coast of Queensland and located about 250 kilometres from the state's capital of Brisbane.

A ceremony held today to commemorate the occasion was attended by hundreds of locals, traditional owners and government officials.

The renaming comes over a decade after the Bligh government added K'gari as an alternative name for spot and two years after the name of the Fraser Island World Heritage Area was reverted.

Famous for its pristine stretches of coastline and its large native population of dingoes, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the island every year.

It had been known as Sandy Island by early European settlers, before it was renamed Fraser Island after Captain Fraser.

Fraser, alongside his wife Eliza, became shipwrecked on the island during a foiled attempt to sail to Singapore.

Their ship was believed to have struck coral along the Great Barrier Reef, forcing the duo to make their way to shore on a lifeboat.

Eliza, heavily pregnant at the time, gave birth during the voyage, but the baby drowned as the lifeboat took on water.

Fraser is believed to have been speared by the local inhabitants, leaving Eliza stranded on the island and taken captive, until she was later found by a convict living in the bush.
