This week...

Last Sunday afternoon, our family repeated the annual tradition of setting up the Christmas tree, a faux fir we bought 21 years ago here in Canberra. My favourite parts are enjoying the process together and looking back on the eclectic collection of decorations that date from 1978 onwards. That was the year I lived as an exchange student with a lovely family in California who gave me my first keepsake ornament and have sent me one every year since. It’s a tradition I’ve continued with my children, who have amassed their own special collections that will continue to enhance our family tree until they’re ready to set up their own Christmas trees in their own homes in the fullness of time. There’s something to be said for creating your own traditions and celebrations, big or small, the main benefit being the sense of connection engendered between those who share it. Reasons to be grateful this past week include great company, food and entertainment at the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Christmas gala in the Capital Region Farmers Market pavilion at Exhibition Park and the mellifluous Christmas carols being sung so joyfully upon arrival, a willy wagtail waving his tail on the lawn, a feisty peewee pursuing a magpie, and decorating the tree with sweet memories, love and laughter. - Julie Samaras

Simon Baker opens NGA summer blockbuster

ollywood actor Simon Baker was the surprise guest at the launch of the National Gallery of Australia’s summer blockbuster Tom Roberts and its new galleries last week. Baker, who has starred in his own blockbusters such as the

television series The Mentalist and films like The Devil Wears Prada, is the Gallery’s new ambassador. “I am not here as a politician or an art historian. I am just a general punter,” he said. As a child growing up in regional Australia, Baker said he was

familiar with Roberts’ work and his school library had a print of the iconic painting, Shearing the rams. Tom Roberts surveys the artist’s expansive 60-year career and the exhibition of over 130 works brings together paintings from public and private collections. “The exhibition is incredible, a must see for every Australian,” he said. “What thrills me about Roberts is that his landscapes really capture Australian light. It feels so familiar you can almost hear the sounds that you’re accustomed to when you’re in the environment. “To be here in person and see these works shine back at us is incredible. You don’t have to be an art historian or snob to have this beautiful experience. I would encourage every Australian to see the show.” Baker also visited the new international galleries, relocated on level two as part of a transformation project which has involved the biggest rehang of the collection

since the Gallery opened in 1982. Favourites such as Jackson Pollock’s Blue poles and Constantin Brancusi’s Bird in space can be seen in entirely different galleries alongside other international masterpieces. “The magnificence of the collection in the Gallery is profound,” he said. It is the first time the Gallery has had a local artist for its summer exhibition but director Gerard Vaughan was confident that visitors would flock to Canberra, the only place Tom Roberts is on, to enjoy it. “This exhibition is outstanding and celebrates one of Australia’s foremost painters and his insight into a unique time in Australian history,” he said. Curator Dr Anna Gray said Roberts brought a new vision to Australian art that had become embedded in our consciousness. “No artist before Roberts had captured such an impression of the hot Australian glare to the extent he did.” - Diana Streak

Canberra students rank high in NAPLAN tests ACT students remain among the highest performing in the country, according to The National Report and the Report of Test Incidents for the 2015 NAPLAN testing that were released on Wednesday 2 December. ACT Minister for Education and Training Joy Burch said that while the NAPLAN test results were not the only measure of student achievement, they were an important tool in understanding how ACT students perform in literacy and numeracy. “Compared to other jurisdictions, mean scores of ACT students were top or equal top across 19 of the 20 areas tested.” The only area where ACT students did not top the tests was in Year 3 in persuasive writing. ACT students continued to rank first or equal 10

first in reading, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy across all year levels, and have consistently done so since 2009. The NAPLAN tests were held in May this year, with approximately 18,600 ACT students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participating. “While I am delighted at the results, we will not rest on our laurels,” Ms Burch said. “We can always do more and we will continue to work with our students to provide them the best education we can in all circumstances.” Teaching recruits are also being congratulated after results of the first ever Teacher Recruitment Assessment showed 98.11% of applicants successfully meeting or surpassing the literacy benchmark and 94.81% the numeracy benchmark.

Applicants completed assessments to ensure teachers working in ACT public schools have personal literacy and numeracy skills in the top 30% of the population. The high achievement rate is further supported by a rigorous new teacher development plan. For the 2016 school year, Ms Burch said the ACT Government has embedded testing for high levels of literacy and numeracy into the already rigorous teacher recruitment process for all new teachers entering the Canberra public school system. “We have great teachers in Canberra public schools and our student results show this,” she said. “It is time to build on our success and raise the bar even higher.”

THAT CHRISTMAS FEELING

capital hill Pumping up a storm of ideas overnments launching innovation statements more often than not fail to make a lasting impression. Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard to a lesser extent often spoke of innovation and in fact appointed ministers with the idea in their portfolio name. It sounds fresh and new and up to it. Tony Abbott wasn’t so taken by the concept. He, after all, felt more comfortable with the old, the tried and the true. Besides he had a sneaking suspicion of science and scientists. And felt no compunction in slashing the budgets of the CSIRO, the universities and various other new-fangled things like renewable energy technologies. All up over the forward estimates, the four year purview of the budget, a total of $3 billion was earmarked for the chop; that was in the ill-considered or at least very

poorly received 2014 budget. But unlike his predecessors, Malcolm Turnbull brings passion, conviction and considerable rhetorical skill to the salesmanship. He also brought the realisation, that though the budget is in deficit, borrowing to invest in the future is in fact smarter than doing nothing to get back into the black. So for a billion dollars we are told that the mining boom – sadly a fading memory – is to be replaced by an “ideas boom”. The best assets this country has, we are told, is not the riches it has under the ground but the 24 million Australians walking around on top of it. Much of the money will go into “unleashing” the creative spirit in those willing to take a risk. Changes to bankruptcy laws will allow more scope for “failing” new enterprises to regroup, as it were;

stay in business, keep hiring and learn from their mistakes. The Prime Minister says there’s never been a more exciting time to be an Australian. But he boldly proclaimed that he could not guarantee that all the policies he unveiled will be as successful as he hoped. “That’s the old paradigm,” he said at the launch. “We’ve got to be prepared to take risks,” was the message. Sounds terrific but in the same breath almost, he slammed the former Labor government for taking a risk on the “most reckless” undertaking ever, namely the National Broadband Network. Australians got that 21st century high speed internet was the key to success. The NBN was so popular not even Tony Abbott was game enough to deliver on his initial impulse to demolish it.

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

The imagination was there except Malcolm Turnbull and the Liberals attacked it as profligate spending. On assuming the treasury benches, they set about downscaling it and reviving 20th century technology to save money. Politicians will, let’s face it, always play politics, but Turnbull has a point about fear of failure. It is simply ridiculous to demand that every policy comes perfectly formed. Sure we expect careful consideration and where possible modelling and planning. But it is better to admit something isn’t working and fix it up than to pretend otherwise. Or worse, keep ignoring it in three-word slogans.

political capital More than ever the world needs to show compassion

even in every 10 Canberrans want to see public housing in their suburbs, trumpeted Chief Minister Andrew Barr last month. He was brandishing new research which, he said, “confirms what most of us already knew; Canberrans are welcoming people who support an inclusive community”. “It has been heartening to hear that, despite isolated resistance from a small number of residents, public housing is being welcomed into communities.” For the record, I agree with Andrew Barr. Canberrans are, overall, welcoming people. This week we saw more of the ‘isolated resistance’ the Chief Minister spoke of. Some residents in the Tuggeranong suburb of Greenway are none too impressed with the Government’s plans to

plonk about 24 public housing units on the eastern banks of Lake Tuggeranong. It follows concerns raised by a group of Gungahlin residents about plans to put a public housing development in Franklin. What this tells us is there is a world of difference between answering a phone poll and the stark reality of real life. I’m sure the resistance is coming from only a handful of residents, and the Government needs to stand firm. But it also needs to reassure residents their property values aren’t going to plummet, and crime and drug use isn’t going to increase. People fear the unknown, and there’s a lot of unwarranted negative publicity surrounding public housing tenants. What most people don’t realise is public housing already exists in most

Canberra suburbs. There really is nothing to fear. … WE IN THE free world want to keep telling the terrorists that we won’t be bowed by their brutal actions, and that if anything, their murderous attacks will only make us stronger. But in reality the world has changed horribly just in the past 12 months, and it’s easy to fear we are past the point of no return. Major sporting events are now being cancelled because of terrorism threats, countries all over the world are on heightened security alerts, people have become suspicious of their neighbours, and communities are splintering. Next year Americans go to the polls. It’s no understatement to suggest the outcome will have a major bearing on the future of the war on terrorism. This week

WITH ROSS SOLLY, A CANBERRA MAN IN JAKARTA

blowhard Donald Trump called for all Muslims to be denied entry to the US. And with an election due in Australia next year it will be tempting for some politicians, and some in the media, to fan the flames of fear and loathing. 2016 is set to be a year at the crossroads. Let’s hope there are enough strong leaders to ensure we choose the right road. … AS 2015 DRAWS to an end, I’d love to hear your thoughts of how this year has panned out, and your views on what 2016 might bring.

news Artist impression of the public space of the interchange leading into the Woden Town Square.

Works start on Woden bus interchange orks have started to revamp the Woden Bus Station which is designed to make the interchange “more accessible, safer for commuters and further revitalise the town centre”, according to ACT Minister for Roads and Parking, Mick Gentleman.

“The works will involve the demolition of the western end of the interchange and construction of new steps and a public lift, with better natural light and improved facilities. The works are scheduled for completion in mid-2016,” Mr Gentleman said. As a result of the works there will be a

number of changes to bus services including: the closure of platforms one, two and three with routes 26 and 27 moving to platform 18; platform four will be a drop off only platform (except for some school services) with routes 80, 88, 732 and 749 moving to platform 18; three morning school services 844, 416 and 863 will depart from platform four; route one will depart from platform 10; and Q-City (Queanbeyan) bus services will relocate to a new temporary platform along Bowes Street, now known as platform 19. ACTION transport officers will also be at the Woden Bus Station to assist and provide further information to passengers. More information can be found at www.action.act.gov.au Also south-side, in Wanniassa, a new bus station has opened on Comrie Street in Erindale. The new station has been built to replace the bus stops and passenger facilities on either side of Comrie Street while new art work has brought colour to the area.

Summernats revs up he countdown is on for Summernats 29 with organisers expecting attendance around the 100,000 mark in addition to 2,000 cars from across Australia. Summernats co-owner Andy

Lopez said the event is in good stead to achieve the result given Summernats 28 attracted 108,000 attendees and 1,900 cars. “We’re pretty pleased about the way the event has grown and

developed and the community involvement and the benefits for Canberra,” Mr Lopez said. ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said Summernats is an important part of the city’s schedule of events while it is “hard to imagine summertime in Canberra without the Nats”. “Summernats provides a significant boost to the local Canberra economy during the quiet summer months, generating over $20 million in economic benefit to the Territory,” Mr Barr said. “Nearly 30,000 interstate visitors flock to Canberra for this event which benefits many local businesses in the hospitality, retail and the hotel industries.” Mr Barr said the work of organisers to diversify the program has reaped results, while creating a more family-friendly approach has also helped attendance to grow.

“It is an exciting event,” Mr Barr said. “It retains its core elements but continues to offer so much more as it evolves.” Summernats is on from 7-10 January at Exhibition Park. For a glimpse of the street machines outside the grounds, the City Cruise along Northbourne Avenue returns on Thursday 7 January, featuring 300 special cars. Other highlights include the awarding of the Street Machine Summernats Grand Champion, the National Burnout Masters, plus a live music line-up including the Hoodoo Gurus, You Am I and Seth Sentry. Mr Lopez said there is also a “huge announcement” to come, which “will make Sunday at Summernats even more special. We can’t reveal the surprise yet, but stay tuned; it’s going to be great”.

ACT GOVERNMENT PROVIDES FUNDING TO SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR SENIORS

Community gardening projects and playgroup activities involving both young and older Canberrans, horticultural workshops and a mature-age job seeker program are among the initiatives that will be funded through the 2015-16 ACT Government Seniors Grants Program. This year, the ACT Government is providing twelve community organisations with grants worth over $57,000 to support a range of activities that will support and encourage older Canberrans to remain healthy, active and socially engaged within their community. Seniors Grants provide essential funding for innovative and creative projects that compliment and support the ACT Government’s commitment for a healthy, active and productive community and to ensure that people of all ages and backgrounds are able to participate and enjoy the benefits of living in our vibrant community. The focus and priorities for this current round of grants include social inclusion and intergenerational initiatives for seniors, projects that will assist mature-aged job seekers (aged 50 plus) to gain employment and projects that will enable seniors to gain knowledge and expertise in digital information and interactive communication technologies. One of the successful grant outcomes included a ‘grass-roots’ project that will enable elderly gardeners - residents of the Isabella Gardens Retirement Village - to establish and maintain an intergenerational community garden in partnership with children from the nearby Isabella Plains Early Childhood School.

CWM14244

This initiative will allow elderly gardeners to share their wisdom and their skills in gardening with the up and coming ‘green thumbs’ of tomorrow, providing opportunities for fun, friendship and learning in the vegetable garden beds, on a weekly basis, with the added bonus of allowing the group to sell their produce within their community at harvest time. Paul Rollings, Chairperson of the Isabella Gardens Residents Association, Gary Smith, Manager of the Isabella Gardens Retirement Village and Louise McCormick, Coordinator of the Isabella Plains Early Childhood School, have welcomed the grant funding, which will allow retirement village residents and children to work and bond together, sharing fun times and creating a community garden that will grow not only vegetables, but provide a bountiful harvest of friendship, trust and understanding, in the years to come.

news Fi Shewring, president of Supporting and Linking Tradeswomen, said the organisation promotes trades to women while their workshops give participants the confidence to perform their own home repairs.

Empowering women with power tools hanging society’s attitude to what women are capable of is just one aim of Supporting and Linking Tradeswomen (SALT). The organisation, which has a new local chapter in Canberra, promotes trades to women while their workshops give participants the confidence to perform their own home repairs.

A workshop was held in Canberra on Wednesday 2 December where participants built their own tool box and learnt how to use a range of different tools. “I think what we love about this kind of work we are doing is that it just changes people’s attitudes to what they can do themselves,” said

Fi Shewring, president of SALT. “They can be nervous about doing it and you see them change to being confident and happy and enjoying what they are doing.” While SALT started as a way to support women in trades, Ms Shewring said it is also about encouraging people to try trades. “Jobs don’t have a gender,” she said. “The kinds of people that get into trades are handson whether they are male or female … it is about doing a job you love and doing it well.” SALT Canberra aims to introduce workshops into a number of ACT schools. According to Ms Shewring, taking the program into schools is “making a difference”, citing examples of students who changed electives to get on a new career path. She said part of the process is educating others that these are real careers and can be flexible; “the tradies here all have children, we’ve worked around our children”.

Distinct Property Management advertising moment

Distinct won the 2015 Real Estate Institute National Innovation Award for their systems and processes.

The team at Distinct Property Management are 100% focussed on property management.

Is it time to review your property manager? Continuing with your property manager every year without reviewing their service offering is like accepting an automatic increase in your insurance premiums – you can get a better deal if you shop around. ome owners have been with their current property manager for years and never really review the services they are receiving. According to Chris Scullin, Director of Distinct Property Management, reviewing your property manager is important. “Your investment property is just that, an investment. You want to maximise the performance of that investment on an ongoing basis,” Chris says. “You need to pro-actively manage the investment so you can maximise your return over time. A great property manager can make all the difference when you go to sell.” Chris says “regularly reviewing your property manager is as important as reviewing your insurance policies. By changing property managers you will probably save on fees and will most likely see a whole new level of service”. A lot has changed in the industry in the past two to three years and there are new systems and technologies in place now for owners to

take advantage of, such as those provided by Distinct Property Management. This year Distinct won the prestigious Real Estate Institute National Innovation Award for the systems and processes they have in place. At Distinct, there is no sales division with the business 100% focussed on property management. You will benefit from working with some of Canberra’s most experienced property managers – Brooke Scullin has over 12 years’ experience, Amanda King over seven years and Rachel Papp over five – while switching to Distinct is made easy. “You sign our Managing Agents Agreement and we do everything else including notifying your current property manager,” Chris says. “You don’t need to do a thing.” Distinct is expanding their footprint in the South Canberra/Tuggeranong area and Amanda King is their southside specialist. According to Chris, Amanda “understands the local community, property market and what tenants

are looking for in the Tuggeranong area – if you have an investment property in Tuggeranong and it isn’t being managed by Amanda, you are missing out on her local expertise”. Distinct is also running a current special management fee of 6.6% (inclusive of GST) so there is a great opportunity to save if you are paying more. Distinct guarantee never to increase your monthly management fee so what you sign in on is a lifetime pricing deal. For more information, call Distinct Property Management on 6140 5900.

Abundant Water will use a $15,000 grant to help train women in Laos to establish their own water filter businesses.

Grant to empower women in Laos

anberra-based charity Abundant Water has received a $15,000 Australian Ethical Investment Community Grant that they will use towards training women in Laos to establish their own water filter businesses. Abundant Water has developed the technology to make clay water filters in Laos to provide clean drinking water in order to prevent

waterborne diseases. Providing the equipment, the organisation teaches people about clean water hygiene and focuses on building the business skills of women. CEO of Abundant Water, Sunny Forsyth, said the organisation’s aim is to help people in rural communities to achieve economic independence through vocational and business training. “Support from the business community, such as Australian Ethical, is critical in enabling Abundant Water to deliver a sustainable project that will produce long-lasting benefits, and to help us realise our vision of delivering water filter technology that can be produced by potters everywhere,” Mr Forsyth said. Managing Director of Australian Ethical, Phil Vernon, said the work Abundant Water is doing to help women in Laos is “simply inspiring.” “We are proud to support the efforts of Abundant Water through our grants program as we strongly believe in the responsibility of business to foster positive social and environment impact,” Mr Vernon said. “We hope other organisations follow our lead and provide financial assistance to those dedicating their lives to making a difference.” Abundant Water has plans to take its

technology and teaching to Nepal, providing 10 disadvantaged women with a training course in the clay filter technology and business skills. The organisation’s Tell A Story of Abundance crowdfunding campaign through chuffed.org aims to raise $20,000 to fund the training course.

Students learn new skills Black Mountain School officially opened its new café, SixDegrees, on Thursday 3 December to coincide with the International Day of People with Disability. ACT Minister for Education and Training Joy Burch joined students, parents, carers and teachers at the school in O’Connor to sample some of the café’s goods. The SixDegrees café is a venue where young people with disabilities will be able to develop their independence and social skills. The café will be the first social enterprise to be wholly established on a school site in Canberra. It is expected to open to the public during term 1, 2016.

Driving under the influence of drugs is dangerous. Unlike alcohol where there is a legal limit, ANY trace of certain illegal drugs in your system while driving is an offence. ACT Policing actively drug test drivers for the presence of drugs including cannabis (THC), methylamphetamine, and ecstasy. Illegal drugs can stay in your system long after you take them, so you could test positive hours or even days after consumption. Drug driving is a strict liability offence. This means ACT Policing only have to show that you tested positive for certain drugs while you were driving in order for you to go to court.

If you fail a roadside drug test you will be charged with an offence and be required to appear in an ACT court to answer the charge. Serious penalties can apply for drug driving offences including: • heavy fines, • loss of licence, and • imprisonment. You may also get a criminal record. Along with legal penalties you also run the risk of: • injury or death to yourself or someone else, • damage to your vehicle and other property, and • loss of insurance cover because insurance companies may not pay for any damage or injury if you are convicted for drug driving.

If you or someone you know is concerned about drugs or alcohol, 24/7 information and support is available through ACT Health’s Alcohol and Drug Services Intake Line – 02 6207 9977 (ask for the Alcohol and Drug Services when calling).

Leading Canberra’s Innovation Challenge Digital Challenge Spurns Collaboration for Canberra Tech Companies Hot off their work creating prototype solutions for the ACT Government as finalists in the Digital Canberra Challenge (DCC), two local companies are looking for opportunities to deliver projects together. Winner Three72 Digital and Runner-Up Rollercoaster Digital are established companies in Canberra. Each business has its own focus and methods - but they share a passion for creating products to solve problems where other companies are not succeeding. “We had a great experience through the Challenge, meeting Ben and the Three72 team is icing on the cake. We were struck straight away by the similarities in the way we all think. We each have our own work and businesses, but we can see some huge opportunities combining our skills. Collaborating can help us take a bite at some really ambitious projects, to compete with some of the big players. But we can be faster and take more risks than they can.” Rollercoaster Digital Co-CEO Andrew Snell said. Three72 Digital Director Ben Brillante said “Not only did the Challenge provide us with a unique project that we thoroughly enjoyed working on, but it also introduced us to the team at Rollercoaster Digital. It is wonderful to meet like-minded organisations who have the same drive and passion as ourselves. Collaborating with Rollercoaster Digital will help us to achieve amazing results, as we can bring the strengths of each company to larger projects.” The two companies are already looking at strengthening existing opportunities, as well as planning future collaboration. Tony Henshaw, Chair of the Digital Canberra Challenge Program Board, said “Three72 and Rollercoaster grasped the opportunities presented by their challenges and delivered fantastic outcomes for the ACT Emergency Services Agency and ACT Heritage Council.

From Emergency Services Agency "The Commissioner asked for a platform that allows two-way communication with our diverse workforce via their mobile devices, whether it be our ambulance paramedics or firefighters on shift 24/7 or our volunteer members of the ACT Rural Fire Service, ACT State Emergency Service, Community Fire Unit and MAPS teams,” ESA Manager, Emergency Media and Broadcasting Services Darren Cutrupi said. "ESA Workforce Connect does this." "We look forward to working with Ben and his team at Three72 Digital as we trial the app over the next 12 months and sharing the experience with our colleagues across the ACT Government."

From ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr The Digital Canberra Challenge has delivered a platform for the public service to think differently, but it is also an opportunity to harness the talent and creativity of our small and medium-sized enterprises. Through the program local designers and developers have collaborated with public servants to develop prototype solutions to real problems encountered by the ACT Government. This has encouraged innovative thinking across the public service and demonstrated the potential of a deeper engagement between government and local businesses. Contact the teams on: Rollercoaster Digital - info@rollercoasterdigital.com or 1800 800 005 Ben Brillante - Three72 Digital - evolve@three72.com.au or 1300 971 882 For information on the Digital Canberra Challenge, visit www.digitalcanberrachallenge.com.au

"Their agility and professionalism, combined with the focus and enthusiasm of the agencies, resulted in great examples of the best that Digital Canberra can achieve.”

From ACT Heritage ‘The DCC project delivered by Rollercoaster Digital provides a digital-based solution for ACT heritage to better engage with the ACT community about heritage registrations. It provides the potential for a platform from which to better explain heritage significance and the reasons and rationale for heritage listings in the ACT.’ Team Leader, Policy and Community Engagement, ACT Heritage Anna Gurnhill said. ‘ACT Heritage enjoyed the opportunity to work collaboratively with Rollercoaster Digital and NICTA on this project and would recommend the DCC to other ACT Government agencies’.

news Supporting kids in care oung people with care experience used art, music, dance and song to have their voices heard at a conference on issues important to them on Thursday 3 December in Canberra. Organised by CREATE Foundation, the Hearing Our Voices conference enabled children and young people with a care experience to share their stories. ACT Minister for Children and Young People Mick Gentleman said ensuring the voice of young people was heard was an important part of ACT Government moves to support children and young people. “It is important that whatever the demographic, people feel that their particular views are heard by government and the community more broadly,” Mr Gentleman said. “However, for young people this can be an issue as they may not have ready access to people who make decisions that affect their lives. “The ACT Government is aware of this and this is why we have in place groups such as the Youth Advisory Council that represents the views

of young people across Canberra and provides them to me.” CREATE’s mission is to empower children and young people with a care experience through enabling them to have an independent voice and be heard. According to CREATE, a major challenge is improving the outcomes for young people transitioning to independence with feedback suggesting better support and transition plans are needed at this vulnerable time. CREATE suggests access to affordable housing as well as barriers including low incomes, lack of tenancy history and in many cases limited knowledge of how to access and maintain a tenancy, also hinder successful transition. CREATE Foundation is currently running a campaign called Paint it Purple via social media which aims to raise awareness and funds to support projects designed to empower over 43,000 Australian children and young people growing up in out-of-home care today.

news Universities boost reputations he Australian National University (ANU) has boosted its reputation for world-class research in the latest Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) results. The ERA results found 95% of broad-field research and 91% of specific discipline research at ANU rated above or well above world standard. ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Young AO said the 95% rating was a significant improvement on the 84% rating in the previous ERA in 2012. “This is a tremendous result which confirms the position of the ANU as a world-class university,” Professor Young said. The results were driven by higher ratings for 17 research fields which all improved their rankings to reach the top rating of five, representing research to be well above world standard.

In total, ANU received the highest rating in 38 specific research disciplines, and in a further 11 broad fields of research across the full range of university research. The ERA results also show improvement for the University of Canberra which either increased or maintained its ERA rating in a total of 13 fields, which are rated at above or well above the world standard. The University’s environmental sciences discipline received the highest possible rating, well above world standard, particularly in the fields of ecological applications and environmental science and management. ERA is a Federal Government initiative to assess research excellence at Australian universities at a discipline level using measures such as academic citations, peer review and research income.

Funding for bushfire protection A new Rural Fire Service (RFS) fire station at Captains Flat will be delivered as part of the Monaro’s share of $248,000 in bushfire protection funding. The local investment is part of a wider $314.6 million allocated to the Rural Firefighting Fund in the NSW Government’s 2015/16 budget. The funding will also be used for upgrades to stations at Braidwood, Burra, Lake George, Majors Creek, Bombala, Berridale

and Anembo. Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the investment is critical to local RFS firefighters and will play a key role in keeping residents safe. “These new facilities or upgrades to facilities will allow our volunteers to continue to be supported with the latest technology and equipment whilst they assist their local community in times of need,” he said.

European Calicivirus strain in ACT Laboratory tests have confirmed that there is a strain of European Calicivirus, RHDV2, in the ACT. RSPCA ACT has been working with the ACT Government and vaccine manufacturers since late last week after a number of rabbits in their care died from what appeared to be calicivirus. RSPCA ACT Director of Animal Welfare Jane Gregor stated, “After two of our baby rabbits died last week, we didn’t think much of it since they were more susceptible to diseases at that age. However, once some unrelated adult rabbits also died that were vaccinated against the known strain of calicivirus, we

became suspicious.” RHDV2 has not been tested for vaccine efficacy yet. At the moment, RSPCA ACT has revaccinated all of its rabbits in care using the current vaccine hoping that a double dosage might be useful. They have also referred any public vet appointments for rabbits to other vet clinics in the meantime. Individuals requiring more information about calicivirus should contact their local vet. Disease control enquiries should be directed to the ACT Government veterinarian or Territory and Municipal Services via Access Canberra on 13 22 81.

Homecoming for Canberra volunteer s International Volunteer Day occurred on Saturday 5 December, Canberra resident Mira Muliajati Lay is set to return home after spending the past 14 months volunteering overseas and is urging others to consider doing the same. Ms Lay travelled to Indonesia on an Australian Government funded Australia Volunteer for

International Development (AVID) program. There she has worked as an Education Program Advisor with Sahabat Anak, a community-based volunteer organisation that provides a range of social services including free informal education and tutorial classes, free basic health services and advocacy for children living in the slums in Jakarta. “Volunteering in Indonesia gives me the opportunity to reconnect with my cultural heritage,” Ms Lay said. “This also benefits my two children, who are dual citizens of Australia and Indonesia, to know the other half of their roots. By immersing ourselves in the culture, we have also nurtured personal relationships with the extended family there.” As part of the education team, Ms Lay has assisted with a number of educational programs aimed at parents about managing family budgets, healthy eating and cooking workshops, and art and craft sessions. “I would definitely encourage others to volunteer overseas,” Ms Lay said. “I have personally gone through a period of growth in my life, and although this experience was challenging at times, in the end those challenges made it that much more rewarding and fulfilling.”

But it is the personal stories told in the galleries and exhibitions at the Memorial which are at the heart of a strong emotional connection with our visitors,” Dr Nelson said. There has been increased visitation in each month of 2015, and with December still under way, the figures are already 21% higher than last year. April was the biggest month for attendance with an increase of 78% as more than 150,000 attended Anzac Day services alone. A large number of students, totalling nearly 140,000 in the year to the end of June, also visited the Memorial this year – most as part of facilitated education programs linked to the Australian curriculum.

“The idea for the story I have lived with for a long time –many years ago I was a journalist working in the ABC with the court round. “I used to be on TV almost every night because there were a lot of murders in Canberra that year (1985), including the murder of a woman found in Lake Burley Griffin with concrete blocks tied to her feet. It was thought she may have been murdered for her coffee blend recipes – she ran a café. That is the basis for my story, and the opening line, but it’s all fiction after that.” “I enjoy writing crime fiction because it’s escapist but also allows you to comment on and explore all sorts of contemporary issues.” - Diana Streak

The Raiders’ new historian Dr David Headon with Raiders Group CEO Simon Hawkins.

Raiders appoint club historian The Raiders Group have hired an in-house historian to ensure the history of the Raiders will remain documented, so future generations of supporters could appreciate the roots of their club. Dr David Headon has been appointed to the role and will start in the New Year, based at the Queanbeyan Leagues Club. He is engaged for six months, in the first instance, to do some preliminary research. During this time, he hopes to interview

a number of the club’s greatest players and coaches, and will be seeking input from members and supporters to provide information they might have which could be relevant to the project. This fund of ‘hidden’ primary source material, along with the club’s own substantial archives and oral history resources, will underpin the comprehensive club history to come. The full project should take two to three years.

Red Cross: be prepared Summer is here, bringing with it the increased risk of a natural disaster. Red Cross is calling on all Australians to get prepared. Emergencies happen; we can’t change that, but we can change how they affect our lives. Being prepared isn’t complicated, it’s about four things: knowing the local risks, knowing your community, making a plan and having an emergency kit. And it is about developing a mindset that will help you deal with the emotional and psychological impact of a disaster, and how to recover from one. Recovery can take years, but people who have prepared are more likely to get their lives back on track faster, with less stress and anxiety. A key part of that is a plan to protect those irreplacable things that matter most to you. Free resources available at redcross.org.au/prepare

INGREDIENTS 1 Coles double-smoked ham leg (about 4.5kg) 1 cup golden syrup 1/4 cup tomato sauce 60g unsalted butter 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped 1 tsp chilli flakes

METHOD

traditional

YOUR CHRISTMAS CENTREPIECE Whether it’s a traditional Christmas leg ham, your classic Aussie seafood lunch or a veggie alternative to offer guests, we have your Christmas dinner centrepiece all wrapped up.

Prepare a covered barbecue for indirect cooking. For a gas barbecue, heat one burner on medium-high and leave the other burner(s) off. For a charcoal barbecue, build a fire on one side of the charcoal grate, leaving the other side of the barbecue empty, and let burn just until the coals are covered with white ash. Do not spread out the coals. Line a large heavy rimmed baking tray with aluminium foil. Remove all the packaging from the ham. Run a sharp knife down the back of the ham and using your fingers, gently separate the skin from the fat. Run the knife over the fat to lightly score it all over. Place the ham on the tray and set the tray on the side of the barbecue that is off. Close the lid and leave to cook (the barbecue temperature should be about 190°C) for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 42°C. Meanwhile, in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the golden syrup, tomato sauce, butter, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and chilli flakes until the butter melts and the mixture is well blended. Remove the

glaze from the heat and set it aside. When the ham is warmed through, increase the barbecue temperature slightly (so that the barbecue temperature reaches 200°C). Using a pastry brush, brush some of the glaze all over the ham. Cook the ham, basting it every 5 minutes with the glaze, for about 45 minutes longer, or until the thickest part of the ham registers 52°C on the meat thermometer and the ham is evenly caramelised. Remove the ham from the barbecue and set it aside on a carving board to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour off the juices from the baking tray into a tall and narrow heatproof container and allow the fat to settle to the top. Skim off as much of the fat as possible. In a serving bowl, combine equal parts of the skimmed juices and remaining glaze. Carve the ham and serve with the sauce on the side.

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

50g raw cashew nuts, chopped small

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Grease and line a 23 x 13cm loaf tin with greaseproof paper, then brush a little oil on the paper too.

50 raw almonds, chopped small 50g sunflower seeds, roughly chopped 2 tablespoons tamari (for gluten-free option) or soy sauce 2 tablespoons light olive oil or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the tin 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 stick celery, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 200ml tinned chopped tomatoes 1 carrot, grated 160g cooked puy lentils (or tinned aduki beans, drained) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, or 1 teaspoon dried sage 200g cooked white quinoa 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes, or 1 tablespoon Marmite 2 tablespoon buckwheat flour (for gluten-free option) or plain or spelt flour 50g dried cranberries (optional) 2 large eggs, beaten Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a dry, heavy-bottomed frying pan over a medium heat, toast the chopped cashews, almonds and sunflower seeds for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the tamari or soy sauce and toss to coat the nuts. Remove from the heat and tip the toasted nuts and seeds into a large mixing bowl. Set aside and leave to cool. In the same frying pan, heat the oil and gently fry the onions and celery for 10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, grated carrot and cooked lentils (or aduki beans), mix well and sauté for a couple of minutes, then tip into the bowl containing the toasted nuts and mix together. Add the herbs and the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until well combined. Season with black pepper to taste. When you are ready to cook, transfer your mixture to the prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a baking tray. Peel off the greaseproof paper, then put the roast back into the oven for a further 15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing – this will allow it to firm up slightly and make it easier to slice. Place on a serving dish and cut into slices with a sharp carving or bread knife.

CRUNCHY ON THE OUTSIDE, MOIST IN THE MIDDLE. PERFECT, EVERY TIME. NOT EVERYONE HAS TASTED A TRULY GREAT SCHNITZEL AND WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT. You see, a truly great schnitzel relies on ovens and not deep fryers and our state–of–the–art ovens cook your schnitzel to perfection every time. This makes them far more healthy, and tasty, because they are evenly cooked and don't absorb unnecessary oil.

Fish and Seafood Tips • A firm bladder area is the best indicator of a fresh whole fish. Please note that contact with ice can dull the eyes of whole fish, even when very fresh. • Fresh fish should have a pleasant fresh ocean smell.

• Never store ﬁllets in direct contact with ice. Always remove packaging, cover and refrigerate. Cook and eat within two days.

Fresh Stock Arrives Daily – Australia-Wide Suppliers

• The ﬁrmness of uncooked prawns can be an indicator of freshness. However, some species are naturally softer than others.

 Free tasting  Free cleaning  Free parking

• Uncooked prawns should be stored in a bowl of ice and water, in the fridge. The ice and water should be changed daily. Cook and eat within two days.

Q: What lies at the bottom of the sea and shakes? A: A nervous wreck!

SISTERS IN ART

All sisters play dress up, but for Emma and Polly Borland, this led to successful art careers for both of them. s the younger sister, Emma Borland says older sister Polly would dress her up in outlandish outfits to model for her photographs. “I was a model for Polly back in the 1980s when she would dress me up in the stockings,” she says, gesturing to the huge photographs adorning the walls of the Canberra Glassworks where the sisters are holding their first joint exhibition, Borland + Borland. Polly’s photographs are not traditional portraits. They show models disguised in bodystockings stuffed with strange lumps and topped with bizarre masks, or images of soft sculptures that she makes herself. Emma, who works as a glass

artist in Melbourne, says “in a lot of ways Polly mentored me”. Emma’s fused glass panels are exhibited on the opposite wall and although the sisters did not collaborate for the exhibition, their works have a strange resonance. “This body of work is part of my investigation into the human condition and people with special needs,” says Emma. “I call it the 100 panel project and I am hoping to draw attention to the plight of people who need support.” She has completed 35 panels thus far and there are 12 in the exhibition. She says the amorphous figures in block colours reflect that “what we present and what we really feel inside are two very different things”.

Polly, who lives and works in Los Angeles, is a photo based artist whose portraits of celebrities such as Germaine Greer, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Imbruglia, Michael Hutchence, and the Queen have been widely published and exhibited, including at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. Borland + Borland shows a selection of her conceptual works from three series made between 2010 and 2013 – Smudge, Pupa and Wonky, in which Polly has made, assembled, dressed, arranged and played to create her subject, rather than finding, recording or interpreting it. As curator Magda Keaney puts it, “These are images of and from Polly’s imagining”.

Polly Borland with her photographic work Pupa III which is hung back to back with Emma Borland’s glass work, Slate tetraptych.

Polly says the sisters’ works run along parallel lines although they don’t really discuss it. “We have been influences on each other. There are a lot of links that stem from our childhood so there are instinctual and similar tastes. I would describe it as a psychic connection created out of the family dynamic.” Emma agrees that they have a similar aesthetic. “There are echoes between us that stem from work our parents liked.” It is the first time the sisters have exhibited together and Emma says it has been “nerve wracking” but rewarding. “I have always been fiercely proud of Polly’s work and the exhibition brought a lot of things together. I am hoping that this is a springboard to more collaboration, as I have some exciting ideas of where our work can take us.” The Borland sisters grew up in Melbourne and describe a chaotic, creative and close-knit household of seven children. Artistic pursuits were passionately encouraged in the family, as was inclusivity, individuality and humanism. Magda Keaney says the exhibition “challenges and extends the ways we think about photography and glass in relation to each other” and is a celebration of Polly and Emma’s work. “Few would realise that these artists, both with significant and dynamic careers, are sisters.” - Diana Streak Borland+Borland is at the Canberra Glassworks until 7 February. 65

New Year’s Eve 2016 Celebrate in style at Canberra’s most glamorous New Year’s Eve Party. Taking over The Garden and The Tea Lounge, enjoy free flow wine and ales. Feast on delicious fresh seafood from live cooking stations, a Latin style barbecue, an array of salads and a magical dessert buffet.

Bungendore continues to put itself on the arts map, with the opening of a new creative space Suki & Hugh Gallery on 12 December. Owners Susan Foxlee and Sam Cooper, who are both photographers, have been working towards it since they fell in love with the site at 38A Gibralter Street in the heart of the town nine years ago. Cooper says the gallery will add to an already thriving arts community in and around Bungendore. “Our hope is that we will bring something a bit different but that will complement the existing scene here,” he says.

WITH DIANA STREAK, ARTS EDITOR

arts@canberraweekly.com.au The opening exhibition, In Black And White, is from photographer Ali Nasseri and includes large black and white photographs from his travels in the United States. Cooper says the gallery will offer a high quality and contemporary environment for artists and crafters to display their work. A gallery shop is also part of the plan and will showcase printmaking, ceramics, paper and fibre objects from regional artists.

Decay and ruin

Gladys, by Ros Paton.

Former Canberra artist Ros Paton is fascinated by the inevitable decline and fall of the built environment and how architectural order dissolves into ruin. Paton’s works in Lamina trace past lives through decaying buildings and built

painted to scale and some utilising the actual linoleum, offering up a wonderful, often startling, sense of nostalgia. “Many of us grew up around these kinds of furnishings. We have a relationship with these colour schemes and motifs.” Paton is exhibiting at the Belconnen Art Centre Gallery until 13 December. She will give an artist’s talk at 2pm on Saturday.

7 Large rooms of unique affordable large canvases and works under glass. Private and Corporate Art Free trial in your home for one week. Last chance to buy a piece of art before Christmas. Closing 20 December and reopening end of January. 36-38 Grey Street, Deakin ACT Ph 0407 416 480

fragments, depicted with muted colour and creating a powerfully contemplative mood. With a love of surface, pattern and texture, she also skillfully explores trompe l’oeil effects and lavishes bolder colour on creative depictions of tiles and flooring. “In Brisbane I lived next door to a man who had lived in his house for more than 60 years, raising 13 children and even grandchildren there. As the building grew more rickety, they patched up the damage, and just carried on living. It made for a wonderful miscellany.” When the man moved, the new owners allowed Paton to photograph the areas that caught her eye, and she found herself drawn to the decades’ worth of linoleum covering the floors. “In some places these were 12 layers thick, with each layer representing a different part of these people’s lives!” These images became a series of beautifully textured artworks,

If you don’t have time to spend half an hour in front of the mirror carefully applying makeup this festive season, here are some simple tips to get party-ready fast: 1. Use liquid liner on your top lashes to dress up your eyes. A pen style liner is a foolproof way to get those dramatic eyes with minimal fuss. Practice makes perfect! 2. Add a bold lip – choose reds, deep corals, plums and fuchsia to really make a statement. Prep your lips with balm and liner and apply the lipstick with a brush or fingertip for a softer look. 3. Apply a luminising lotion or highlighter for a bit of shimmer along the tops of your cheekbones, under your brows and on the inner corners of your eyes. 4. To take your day makeup to night, add a bit of sparkly glitter to your eyeshadow.

RENOVATING

Follow the instructions to make your own Christmas wreath. Background: Newport Wallpaper from Milton & King $160 per roll 61.5cm x 10m, shop.miltonandking.com; Photo Gary Schafer.

DIY decorations Deck your halls with homemade decorations to make your home merry this holiday season. Making your own decorations is as easy or hard as you make it – and can also be a case of trial and error to find what works best. The finished creation will leave you with something to cherish and memories of fun with family and friends while crafting. From Christmas wreaths to baubles and bonbons, we have come up with some fun craft ideas for you to create this festive season. The key to all the designs is to personalise – choose your favourite colours, a popular trend or include a specific gift for someone special. You’re only limited by your imagination. Happy crafting!

WELCOMING WREATH Indoors or out, there are many ways to design a wreath that reflects your style. You can go for a traditional approach using holly, or possibly build a wreath using baubles. Here we have opted to build a wreath utilising cardboard rolls, which can be filled or left empty with your choice of decorations.

Decorations • Jingle Bells 8 pack ($2.50, Top Bargain) • Gift bow and ribbon 11 pieces ($2.50, Top Bargain) • Gold adhesive star ribbon 20mm x 5m ($6.26, barama.com.au) • Jolly & Joy 6cm baubles 9 pack ($2.99, Spotlight) • Metallic gold ribbon 7mm x 6m ($3.49, Spotlight)

Method

What you need • Paint brushes • Party creator bonbon rolls ($3.49, Spotlight) Note: You could use any type of cardboard rolls you have around the house. We used seven bonbon rolls and a mailing tube for this project. • Paint – we used J. Burrows Acrylic Paint 200ml in black night ($8.44, Officeworks) • Scotch double-sided tape in dispenser 12.7mm x 6.3m ($4.50, Officeworks) • Ruler • Pencil • Cutting knife or scissors

TOP TIP: Tape is suitable for a smaller wreath and while we (eventually) made it work here, we would recommend using a strong glue, especially if you plan on hanging the finished wreath out in the elements. 76

• Place some old newspaper down to protect the surface you’re working on. Paint your bonbon rolls and mailing tube in your colour/s of choice. Leave to dry. • Measure and mark the halfway point (5cm) on each of your bonbon rolls, and around the outside. We also used 5cm measurements for the mailing tube to achieve a consistent height.

• Cut the tubes along the line. We used a cutting knife but depending on your cardboard, scissors could be suitable. Parental assistance is recommended for children.

• Once all of your tubes have been cut, paint the insides and the top edge on one end. This will be the side that faces out from the door.

• Take your tubes and lay out your design. If you are filling your tubes, consider predecorating them so they are ready for building. Take a photo of your design as a reference point if needed. • Using double-sided tape, stick the tubes together working from the inside out. We finished the wreath with gold adhesive star ribbon around the inside and outside for additional bling and to help hold it together, along with some additional gold ribbon for a decorative and secure touch. • Attach ribbon or string to the top of your wreath, and it’s ready to hang!

home

BEAUTIFUL BAUBLES There is something lovely about homemade Christmas decorations and for a quick and easy project, look no further than a DIY ornament.

What you need • Paint brushes • Paint – we used J. Burrows Acrylic Paint 60ml in violet, snow white and metallic gold ($3.18 each, Officeworks) • Jolly & Joy papier mâché bauble, natural ($2.99 each, Spotlight)

Decorations • Kaiser rhinestone strip black ($4.99, Spotlight) • Jenni B glitter stickers heart lace ($3.49, Spotlight)

• Once you’ve painted your bauble your desired colour, leave it to dry. • Decorate with your choice of stickers, rhinestones, etc., and then it is ready to hang. Note: If using stickers, consider applying a clear varnish once finished to preserve your look.

Method • Depending on what colour paint you have chosen for this project, a basecoat of white may be needed on your bauble. Without it you’ll get a darker colour than anticipated.

TOP TIP: Looking for an alternative? Try making an orange clove Christmas ball. Simply take an orange, tie a ribbon around it, this will be used for hanging once finished, and pierce orange with cloves until covered. It looks great and will fill your home with a delicious scent. Or for another idea, tie some ribbon around a polystyrene ball and completely cover it using pins and sequins for a disco ball effect.

Homemade bonbons offer a great opportunity for personalisation. If you fill them with items intended for particular guests, be sure to add name tags.

What you need • Party creator bonbon snaps ($2.49, Spotlight) • Party creator bonbon rolls ($3.49, Spotlight) • Scotch double-sided tape in dispenser 12.7mm x 6.3m ($4.50, Officeworks) • Paper – we used Christmas flora wrap 50cm x 5m (5 x short rolls, $25, barama.com.au) • Ribbon – we used black satin ribbon with gold Merry Christmas 22mm x 25m ($18.69, barama.com.au) • American Crafts DIY shop tags 12 pack ($7.99, Spotlight) • Scissors • Novelties/treats/jokes to go inside bonbon

Method • The expert craft team at Spotlight suggest starting by placing the bonbon snap through the middle of the roll and sticking it down. • Next, cut a piece of paper 30cm x 19cm. Stick a length of double-sided tape along the length of the roll and place centrally along the edge of one of the 30cm sides. • Wrap firmly and secure with double-sided tape where the edges overlap. • Gather one end of the bonbon and tie it with Christmas ribbon. If you’re filling your bonbon with items, now is the time to place them in the tube. Once done, tie the other end. • Attach your name tags and you’re done! Note: You can embellish your bonbons further with stickers.

TREND ALERT: While red and green remain popular colour combos for Christmas, gold and black is one of the sophisticated colour choices this season, or turquoise and silver for some subtle glam. Scandinavian is also on trend – this simple style is all about white and minimalist elements.

Bermagui on the NSW Sapphire Coast is an adventure playground for lovers of fishing, surfing, water sports and bushwalking.

Adventure awaits

ermagui, at the northern entrance to the Sapphire Coast, hugs a spectacular harbour and nestles under the shadow of Mount Gulaga. With its rugged coastline, rivers, lakes and national parks, Bermagui is an adventure playground for lovers of fishing, surfing, water sports and bushwalking. Bermagui Real Estate agent Gary Cotterill, who was born and bred here, says the coastal town is small and vibrant. Known for its wharf, bay, beaches

and excellent river, rock and ocean fishing, there is also a golf course, tennis courts and lawn bowls. The town appeals to most people, Cotterill says. “The only drawback is the lack of employment for younger people but that is changing a bit as Bermagui’s growth continues to rise (slowly),” he says. “Otherwise, the broad appeal is the beauty of the area, scenic, relaxed and enjoyable living.” Buyers are looking for family homes with views, he says, however at present there is a shortage

of properties for sale resulting in “an increase in price to meet the market”. The best streets are with a view – be it ocean, mountain, hinterland, river or natural bushland. “Most of Bermagui has a view of some type,” he says. Currently, vendor discounting is at -5.44% and average days on the market is 172. Cotterill says Bermagui has some of the finest coffee shops and eateries – from seafood, Italian, Asian, modern Australian, a la carte, to bistro-style pub and club meals, pizza and takeaway. Such is its beauty, the town has featured in or been an inspiration for a number of books and films. The Wallaga Lake Bridge was featured in the film Unbroken, directed by Angelina Jolie.

expert advice Julie M Cumming Director Hatch Properties

What are benefits of buying off the plan? When buying an apartment off the plan, particularly early after initial release, you are often able to get a developer discount as they look to get presales to obtain funding. An apartment is generally cheaper than a house or townhouse so it enables you to get into the market at a better price without having to buy something very old. The time taken for construction also allows you to save more over this period. Prices may also rise over construction so you make an early gain. New product is generally more “lifestyle” relevant as trends change. If purchasing a house and land, you get a stamp duty saving as you pay stamp duty only on the land component. You can also customise your property up to a point. Builders warranty can also offer security and tenants love to rent new properties.

Agents excited by market signs

NATALIE KOKIC SCHMIDT Sales Consultant Badenoch Real Estate

I bought my first house when I was 21. I bought my first investment property in Gungahlin and then bought my own home when I was 23. I am now working toward buying a third investment property and would love to buy something else in Canberra. My dream house would be somewhere close to Sydney Harbour or where there is sea. I love the beach. When I was 18, I wish I knew not to get a credit card cause you will never pay it off! My boss is always telling me to pay off bad debt. The biggest lesson I have ever learnt is life is actually short so appreciate the things you have and always make an effort with your family, friends and partners as you will always need them at some point. People don’t know this, but I have a South American mother and I speak fluent Spanish. But I did not get her beautiful dark skin or hair and I can’t dance! I have now been to South America seven times and I love it. I have been working at Badenoch Real Estate for over nine years and I have sold over 250 properties while being in sales. If I wasn’t in real estate I would

be doing something with animals, like a veterinary nurse or working at the RSPCA; I have a real soft spot for animals. The best investment I made was my own home. I love getting home after work and just having time to myself and time with my dogs. I had the time of my life whenever I go overseas. My poor boss, I’m constantly asking for leave as I love to travel. My most recent trip where I had the time of my life was Central America and I went to Guatemala, Mexico, Beliz and Costa Rica. It was amazing and I would love to go back one day. I wish I had the courage to live and work overseas for a few years, but I love my job here so I stay. I love trekking and walking and taking in the beautiful scenery, it relaxes me.

I also love walking my dogs and taking them to new places to sniff around. My life is busy but if I sit still I get bored and start to think way too much so I like to get out and always be doing something. I like challenges and being busy at work. If it’s not busy then you’re not making money! Nothing beats eating Nutella with a spoon straight out of the jar. My favourite chocolate is the Cadbury snack block, animal is a dog and I love sloths, country is Brazil, sport is soccer and food is Spanish and Greek food! My motto in life is, I have a few. Mum always used to say to me “Natalie, you have to live your life” in her cute Spanish accent. Our sales co-ordinator Lucia always says “believe and achieve Natalie”. They are funny mottos but they have stuck with me.

Agents Sandy Funston and Rhys Summergreene are predicting a busy year ahead for the industry. The duo, who will head Harcourts Real Estate’s first Canberra office, are excited by the challenge of going out on their own. Summergreene says the lure of “creating a culture ourselves” appealed. Funstan agreed. “We want to be able to create the standard of a premium agency, that’s what we’re seeking to achieve,” she says. They have received calls from local agents wishing them all the best, Funston says. The pair have worked together previously and have always maintained a friendship. “We’re more like family,” Funston says. “The last month, with what we’ve been through [setting up a business], I think was the test of all tests.”

Hidden treasure HACKETT 15 MACKENZIE STREET

esigned to take advantage of a north orientation, this large, renovated, four-bedroom family home offers panoramic views to Mt Ainslie. Set high and poised in a prime location, agent Michael Potter says it “is one of Hackett's hidden treasures”. “The home has been renovated and extended to a very high standard with a range of high quality inclusions throughout,” he says. The residence, which has 2.5m ceilings, was renovated and extended in 2008, with all electrical and plumbing replaced. The “no expense spared” galleystyle kitchen boasts stone bench tops, raised dishwasher, bench-to-ceiling glass splashback, induction hot plates, soft-close drawers and a large walk-in pantry. “It is the hub that unites the home,” Potter says. “It is perfectly placed to flow seamlessly into a light

and bright, open plan living area designed to bring the outdoors in.” The stacker sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the beautifully landscaped courtyard and backyard, he says. The master bedroom is segregated with an ensuite, walk-in and built-in robes together with a parents’ retreat. The additional bedrooms are serviced by a stylish bathroom with spa and a separate toilet. Potter says the versatile floor plan – with formal and informal living spaces – is ideal for the growing family or busy professional, offering excellent opportunity to work from home. Other features include ducted heating and cooling, a Ventis home ventilation system, double glazing to all windows and doors, and a double garage. The home has a choice of front and rear alfresco entertaining areas.

PICK OF THE WEEK Hugo

Unknown

Friday, SBS, 7.30pm, PG (2011) Martin Scorcese proves his versatility as a director in this magical adaptation of the Brian Selznick novel. Asa Butterfield (pictured left) takes on the title role of a young boy who lives in the clock tower of an old train station in Paris, who spends his free time trying to repair an old automaton. Scorcese weaves the history of cinema into the story as Hugo’s story unfolds. The CG imagery is incredibly lush and helps make a great modern tribute to a bygone cinematic era. Also stars Ben Kingsley.

Friday

Friday, WIN, 8.30pm, M (2011) Liam Neeson (pictured left) capitalises on his success with revenge thriller Taken by taking on another dark and brooding role in this action flick. After arriving in Berlin for a medical conference, Dr Martin Harris (Neeson) is involved in a car accident, leaving him in a coma for four days. On waking, he discovers that his identity has been stolen. His wife Elizabeth (Mad Men’s January Jones) does not recognise him. With the help of Gina (Diane Kruger) he sets out to establish who is behind this betrayal.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Monday, SBS2, 8.30pm, MA15+ (2009) Adapted faithfully from Stieg Larsson’s novel, this white-knuckle ride tells the story of disgraced journalist Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) and Goth hacker Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace, pictured right), who are employed by billionaire Henrik Vanger (SvenBertil Taube) to solve the disappearance of his missing niece from a family gathering 40 years earlier. A tense introduction to the trilogy.

BELIEFS “I’m a Buddhist practitioner. I’m trying to live my life by Buddhist principles and came to the realisation after many years in the Himalayas mainly because I was inspired by the compassion people in the Himalayas showed me.”

My favourite things

OUTDOOR FUN Jono used to be professional cross country skier on the World Cup circuit. “I used to race for Canada when I was in my 20s… I spent almost 10 years cross country ski racing.”

WALKING “I am a big fan of all types of walking. I am doing a PhD on the relationship between walking and creativity. My last book was about walking in the Himalayas and I take a group back every year walking… and the fact is, it’s what we are built to do as humans.”

Photo Gary Schafer

MY BOOK Jono’s book Into the Heart of the Himalayas is based on a long trek he made from Pakistan to Nepal and in the background his coming to terms with the death of his brother. “It’s important because it combines the place that I love with my brother who died when he was 18 years old.”

WORKPLACE “I love working here (the National Museum of Australia). It is a fantastic place to work and there are such fascinating stories… really I’m a storyteller in different forms.”

FAMILY “My kids are the most important part of my life… the love that you feel for a child”. Jono has two sons and says they are “constantly excited about life and new things”.

A curator at the National Museum of Australia, Jono Lineen is also the author of Into the Heart of the Himalayas. The book has been shortlisted for the 2015 ACT Book of the Year and also named one of the Best Books of 2014 by Good Reading Magazine. Jono says he has “been very lucky in life and open to new challenges” which has filled his life with plenty of adventures. He came to Australia about 10 years ago and has been based in the ACT for about seven years. “I really love Canberra. I’ve worked all over the world… and to me, for a family, Canberra is the best place in the world”.
