This week... From the editor Around this time last year, I penned a column about everyday happiness; the kind of contentment that emanates from within, enhanced by ordinary experiences and sights. Behold the pleasure in a burnished sunset, flowers in bloom, a willy wagtail flitting across the lawn… there’s a million of them. The sentiment struck a chord with some readers; one lovely lady calling me to say it changed her attitude to what was going to be a more subdued festive season than usual. She was now looking forward to experiencing the quiet joy to be found in times of solitude and contemplation, rather than feeling the need to fill every moment with festivities. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. There is joy ever present in daily events like the awareness of a brand new day upon waking, listening to birdsong, patting a dog, watering the garden, unpacking the dishwasher. Yes, I’m even grateful I have a lovely home that requires ongoing maintenance – and a family to cook and clean for, too. Reasons to be grateful this week include the ordinary contentment experienced while completing everyday tasks such as folding freshly sundried laundry, preparing meals, shopping for fresh fruit and eating it, driving to work in our fair city, and the unbridled enthusiasm our little dog displays every time I return home. Bless. - Julie Samaras

THAT CHRISTMAS FEELING

Salt banquet by the lake ver a tonne of salt was delivered to the National Gallery of Australia recently for The Last Supper, held not in its canteen but at the contemporary gallery on the lake. Throw in a dash of uranium and you have a stunning new exhibition, The Last Temptation: the art of Ken + Julia Yonetani. Chandeliers made from uranium glass representing nuclear power nations, a response to the Japanese nuclear disaster in 2011, and a nine-metre banquet table made entirely of salt feature in the first large Australian survey show of the internationally acclaimed artists. Julia says they chose to create chandeliers because they are a symbol of electricity, luxury and beauty. “But at the same time we are incorporating that fear through the material by

using glass with a tiny bit of uranium in it which gives it its colouring. “You can’t see, smell or perceive radiation with your senses, but it becomes visible in our works when illuminated with ultraviolet lights. “Presented in darkness, the glass chandeliers and tubes glow with an eerie bright green light indicating the presence of radiation. We hope to prompt viewers to react in their own way to this radioactive presence.” The Last Supper is made from over one tonne of groundwater salt sourced from the MurrayDarling Basin and features a variety of foodstuffs such as lobster, oysters, fruit, bread, plus wine and candles, creating a sumptuous banquet. Curator Deborah Hart says the use of salt came out of a residency when the Yonetanis worked with

The Last Supper, made from over one tonne of groundwater salt sourced from the Murray-Darling Basin, offers food for thought.

scientists researching rising salt levels in the water irrigating crops in a region regarded as a food bowl. “The Yonetanis were interested in the potency of salt as a preserver and taker of life,” she says. “Drawing its title from Leonardo’s great Renaissance mural of the same name, this work plays with the idea of the final meal – the endgame of how we utilise our natural resources.” The medium of salt proved very difficult and the artists experimented with range of binding agents, making more than a hundred moulds until they found the right combination. Julia says, “Here salt is a metaphor for the death of the land, sacrificed in the production and consumption of what has become The Last Supper.” The exhibition closes 3 April. - Diana Streak

Revellers encouraged to enjoy summer safely ACT Policing will be out in force this holiday season targeting alcohol- and drug-related incidents, anti-social behaviour and impaired driving. Speaking at the launch of the 2015-16 Safe Summer campaign, ACT Chief Police Officer Rudi Lammers said ACT Policing will be “cracking down on alcoholfuelled violence”. “Over the last 12 months we have had a significant reduction in violence associated with alcohol and we hope that continues 8

during the summer season,” he said. “We’ve always encouraged people to come into Civic and other areas during the summer period; we just want them to do it responsibly.” CPO Lammers said there would be zero tolerance to alcohol-related violence around entertainment districts. According to figures from the Safe Summer campaign for 201415, there was a 30% decrease in alcohol-related violence in the ACT as a whole compared to the same

period in 2013-14. For the City district, there was a 36% decrease. “We are hoping to see similar results this year,” ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services Joy Burch said. “Building a safe, secure community is a partnership in which all stakeholders – licensees, police, government and the public – have important roles to play”. Speeding, driver impairment and high-risk drivers will also be a focus for the Safe Summer campaign, with an aim to make ACT roads safer and push towards

a zero road toll for the Christmas/ New Year period. ACT Policing’s Safe Summer campaign will run until February 2016. CPO Lammers also reminded those who are planning trips over the holiday period to “do it safely”. “The message is we want to make sure they get there safely, leave safely,” he said. “It’s not about traffic infringements and not about penalties; it’s about road safety and changing people’s behaviours so they are safe on the road.” - Allison Redman

capital hill Never been a better time

ne thing you can say about Malcolm Turnbull, he’s no Christmas Grinch. On the eve of his treasurer telling the nation the budget is drowning in a growing sea of red ink, Turnbull proclaimed: “There’s never been a better time to be Prime Minister”. Maybe he was inspired by the venue: a fundraising lunch for the charity, Lifeline. If anyone can save people from the black dog of depression, Lifeline has a track record to prove it. No, Turnbull has decided that his leadership of the nation will be marked by being a glass half full sort of guy. He certainly has raised the nation’s spirits with his arrival in the top job. He seems to have followed the example of former US President Ronald Reagan who painted his presidency as a new morning for America. So far it’s

working a treat with consumer and business confidence healthier than it was under Mr Negative, his deposed predecessor. He also has the advantage of not directly being lumbered with the promises of Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey. Sure he was in cabinet but he wasn’t the main salesman or architect of the “debt is bad” mantra; worse for the unlamented departed duo, they promised to restore the budget to surplus within a year and keep it there every year after that. Imagine how red faced Joe Hockey would have been if he was the one telling the nation in the latest budget update that the prospect of returning to the black is at best a decade away. Then there is the “profligate spending of Labor” pitch. Again the numbers tell us that the spending

the Liberals so derided under Labor, far from being restrained, has actually increased. Since the last budget, $6.5 billion has been added to the bottom line. Morrison tried the reset button on Tuesday but he, like Hockey, is still a bigger spender than the much derided Wayne Swan. One saving grace is both Liberal treasurers have refrained from repeating Labor’s mistake of promising a surplus anytime soon. It is clear that had the Liberals not decided that Abbott was a dud and had to go, an attack line run by Labor’ s Bill Shorten this week would have had more force. He said: “For the last two and a half years all we know is nothing the Liberals and Nationals have done is working”. The problem for Labor now is voters are giving Malcolm Turnbull the benefit of the doubt.

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

More than that, they are treating him as not only a new prime minister but as one leading a new government. It’s as if the ministry and the back bench miraculously dropped from heaven. The really big decisions will come, Turnbull tells us, when we see more the colour of his money in the run up to the May budget. The Prime Minister is strongly hinting we’ll see his tax plans in the broad as early as March. In the meantime we can all enjoy Christmas.

political capital Government’s Moncrieff policy causes unease he Moncrieff land sale certainly went off with a bang, and the reverberations are still being felt. On paper it looks like the sale was an incredible success. How could it be read any other way? 77 blocks of land, all snapped up within three minutes, leaving hundreds of potential purchasers empty handed and disappointed. All up we are told there were more than 800 bids lodged. Now we hear reports of people putting their application in right on 10am, and missing out. One eager purchaser told the media his application was received at 10.01am, but he was way down the list by that stage. For the sake of transparency, the government needs to ensure no-one was given an unfair advantage. That no early bids

were allowed, or that blocks were put aside. There was already serious questions being asked about the builder ballot, and the latest process has done little to ease concerns. And, also for the sake of clarity, let’s be honest and upfront about how many, if any, of the blocks were snapped up by property developers in the latest round. The attraction of Moncrieff for a lot of homebuyers was the price, with many potential buyers saying they couldn’t afford to buy established properties anywhere else. So it will certainly not sit well with these same bidders if it turns out wealthy property developers have beaten them to the punch. Of course they are absolutely entitled to. There were no pre-event

rules stipulating the blocks of land could only be bought by owneroccupiers. Maybe there should have been. One common complaint we have been hearing about Canberra for many years is just how hard it is to break into the property market. House prices continue to be among the most expensive in Australia, and despite the market cooling slightly, part of the problem has been a lack of available stock. There are lots of new developments and exciting new suburbs coming onto the market, but it needs to be managed better. Former ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope, lamented recently that the ACT Government had dropped the ball when it came to affordable housing. In his view, maximising dollar

returns to the government appeared to be the main driving force behind the current government’s land release policy, pricing thousands of Canberrans out of a chance to own their own house on a block of land. There’s a considerable amount of concern about the government’s handling of the Mr Fluffy buybacks and redevelopment, and the new public housing strategy is having plenty of teething problems. The Barr Government needs to go on the front foot and show it has the situation under control, and most importantly, it has a plan for the future that will ensure all Canberrans can get access to housing at a reasonable price.

Keepin’ it safe during bushfire season with Luke from ActewAGL

During bushfire season, it’s more important than ever to continue our maintenance around the home to help keep our community safe. Here are some things you can do to help: Trees and vegetation need to be a minimum distance of 1.5 metres away from powerlines. If they’re not, you’ll need to get an ActewAGL accredited tree surgeon to trim them. Keep an eye out for any bushfire hazards and make sure you’re aware of any possible fire bans or restrictions. After a storm, stay clear of fallen or low hanging powerlines or any objects in contact with them. And report all electrical infrastructure damage immediately to ActewAGL’s faults and emergencies line on 13 10 93.

Competition to guide future of Mt Ainslie national design competition is being held to develop a landscape plan and interpretive strategy to guide the next 10 years of landscape development at Mount Ainslie. Launching the competition on Wednesday 9 December, ACT Minister for Territory and Municipal Services Shane Rattenbury said the

brief is deliberately open. “I want to be quite open about the scope of ideas people can come up with … I don’t want to constrain that at this point,” he said. “We need to be practical but we also need to be creative.” Questioned on whether a commercial facility could be an option for Mount Ainslie, Mr Rattenbury said

the design brief gives the opportunity to identify some sort of facility but “we wouldn’t want anything that is overly prominent on the landscape. We need something that fits in with the landscape, is sympathetic to the landscape and recognises this is the bush capital”. This is a view shared by National Capital Authority Chief Executive Malcolm Snow. “I think any new commercial development that would be proposed would need to be examined very carefully and I think the first and primary priority here in fact is to understand and complement the natural landscape,” he said. “There are other lookouts in Canberra, and I think of Red Hill, that have a commercial facility on them. Do we need to put commercial facilities on every hill in Canberra I ask?” According to Mr Rattenbury, the current infrastructure at the lookout

is both limited and ageing, with the last major upgrade occurring in 1988. Items which might feature in the new plan could be outdoor seating, picnic areas, sun and wind protection and more comprehensive and coordinated interpretive signage. As Mount Ainslie is defined as a Designated Area, the NCA on behalf of the Commonwealth Government will ensure the planning, design and development of the summit aligns with the principles outlined in the National Capital Plan. The first stage of the competition will see expressions of interest sought, with three firms then shortlisted to participate in a one-week design competition. The winning firm will then prepare a preliminary sketch plan and interpretive strategy, expected in mid-2016. - Allison Redman

news Questacon named top spot he best of the Canberra and region tourism industry was acknowledged at the 30th annual Canberra Region Tourism Awards on Thursday 10 December. ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the awards celebrate the diverse Canberra region tourism experiences offered by an industry that contributes over $1.62 billion annually to the ACT economy and employs more than 14,700 Canberrans. “A vibrant tourism sector is essential to our visitor economy and as we aim to grow overnight tourism expenditure in the ACT to $2.5 billion by 2020,” Mr Barr said. National Capital Attractions Association Representative and Chair of Judges, Garry Watson, said the night was highly successful with the major awards going to some very well deserved winners. Questacon - the National Science

and Technology Centre won the award for Tourist Attractions, and Floriade 2014 scooped the pool for Major Festivals and Events. Other winners included the 2015 National Folk Festival for Festivals and Events, Canberra Airport for Specialist Tourism Services, Hotel Realm for Luxury Accommodation, the Yass Valley Information Centre for Visitor Information Services as well as the Bush Capital Lodge (Standard Accommodation), Avenue Hotel (New Tourism Business), IHG ACT – Crowne Plaza and National Convention Centre Canberra (Qantas Award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism), Jonathan Kobus (Outstanding Contribution by an Individual), National Electoral Education Centre (Tourism Visitor Education), Sunil Choudhary (Young Achiever Award) and Four Winds Vineyard (Visitor Experience Award).

Visitors Centre to relocate The Canberra Region Visitors Centre will move to Regatta Point in the first half of next year, ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced on Monday 14 December. “The Visitors Centre will be co-located alongside another of our city’s attractions, the National Capital Exhibition, providing visitors with the opportunity to learn about Canberra’s history and purpose as the nation’s capital,” Mr Barr said. While the new centre will have a

strong digital focus, he said it would still maintain its highly important human touch with a team of staff and enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dedicated local volunteers. The new location at Regatta Point also offers plenty of existing off street parking for cars, caravans and tour buses, with access via all main arterial roads into Canberra. Until the move, visitor services will continue to be provided from the existing centre in Dickson.

The remainder of the road improvements, which include a 30km/h school zone and children’s crossing at Mount Rogers, parking safety improvements at Macgregor, a 30km/h school zone and parking safety improvements at Latham and footpath improvements at Macquarie, will be installed during the school holidays.

Input sought on pool safety Community input is being sought on the regulation of water safety at privately-owned public pools, such as those within apartments and hotels. Releasing a discussion paper on Monday 14 December, ACT Minister for Sport and Recreation, Shane Rattenbury said “all public pools, whether Territory-owned or not, are regulated in relation to health risks, water quality and safety”.

The discussion paper asks whether the Government should expand the guidelines to include regulations that relate to water safety principles, such as staff qualifications and supervision ratios, at privately-owned pools, which are currently self-regulated. Input can be provided online via www.timetotalk.act.gov.au until 26 February 2016.

GIVE YOUR CHILD THE KUMON ADVANTAGE

Employment outlook ‘encouraging’ in ACT mployers in the ACT are heading into the New Year with an encouraging hiring outlook, according to the most recent Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. The survey found more employers in the ACT are looking to hire than in any other region across the country. Close to a fifth of employers (19%) indicate they are looking to increase their workforce, with just 6% reporting they will decrease their current headcount. The resulting, seasonally adjusted, Net Employment Outlook of +9.0%, is above the national average and up 10 percentage points on this time last year. The Canberra Business Chamber (CBC) is pleased, but not surprised, by the findings of the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. According to CBC CEO Robyn Hendry, major factors in the ACT’s positive outlook are successful,

Christmas school holidays are fast approaching. Have you started to plan for your child in 2016? Now is an ideal time to think ahead for the next school year. Kumon can give your child the head start they need to excel next year. Kumon’s focus on mastering basic Maths and English skills ensures students have a solid foundation, and prepares them for studying advanced materials. The Kumon Method is an individualised learning method designed to develop not only academic skills but also broader general capacities children need to succeed at school.

- Allison Redman

Craft trash into treasure

Kumon builds your child’s skills and confidence by allowing students to work at the level right for them. Throughout the school holiday break, your child will have the time and freedom to focus on a small amount of additional study. Kumon requires a commitment of just 20-30 minutes per day so why not build that regular routine when your child has the flexibility and time whilst on break from school.

A new challenge at the ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show is providing an opportunity for students, groups and hobbyists of all ages to demonstrate their skill and breathe new life into material that would otherwise be considered junk and end up in landfill. New to the 2016 Super Toyworld Crafts Expo is

diverse local businesses, who are very optimistic about 2016. Ms Hendry said the October 2015 CommSec State of the States report, found the ACT now has the fastest annual economic growth rate in the nation, up by 4.0% on a year ago. The latest Sensis Business Index also shows confidence among small and medium businesses in the ACT is currently the highest in the nation. Just one year ago, it was the lowest. Ms Hendry said the Manpower survey is not the first to indicate that Canberra businesses expect to increase employee numbers in the short to medium term. “We recently surveyed 170 business owners from a variety of business types about the employment landscape in 2016. Nearly half thought there would be employment opportunities for skilled workers and one-third believe unskilled or semi-skilled jobs will be available next year,” she said.

This Christmas Eve, St Benedict’s Community Centre in Queanbeyan will play Santa by providing families in need with food parcels. The staff are appealing for donations of non-perishable food, as well as hams, turkey and puddings, and simple, practical presents for men, women and children. St Benedict’s provides free meals for 60 people five days a week and delivers about 30 food parcels daily. They expect to deliver more than 50 food parcels on Christmas Eve and host 150 people for a Christmas Day lunch. Donations of food can be made at St Benedict’s, 284 Crawford Street, Queanbeyan, or an online donation can be made towards the purchase of food at www.givenow.com.au/cause3304

Get a better deal

Working together as a team is the best way of building a better future for everyone.

Enterprise Bargaining Agreements

TAKE BACK YOUR FREEDOM

BUILD A BETTER FUTURE

Pattern CFMEU enterprise bargaining agreements (EBAs) dictate when you can take your RDOs, when you can work and where your money goes.

Bullying and blackmail have no place in the modern workplace or in our industry.

But there is another way.

Team work and collaboration deliver far better results for workers, businesses and the community.

Talk to your team about a better deal – one which lets you decide when you want to work on a weekend and get paid extra, or take RDOs when you choose.

Together, we can build a sustainable future built on cooperative workplaces, healthy competition and shared value.

BUILD JOB SECURITY

GET A BETTER DEAL

The CFMEU raised $1.2 million in 2013-14 from undisclosed payments in their EBAs – and that’s just in Canberra.

Employers paid the CFMEU $1.2 million in undisclosed payments from EBAs in 2013-14 – and that doesn’t include union memberships and donations.

This has inflated costs, eroded competition and put your job at risk.

That’s a lot of money that could have gone to you, rather than the CFMEU.

Working with your team to add value will keep everyone winning work and getting paid.

Nationally, the union has paid out more than $10 million in court fines and legal settlements in the past year. These fines are passed on to union members.

IMPROVE SAFETY Research shows that having a union EBA doesn’t necessarily improve your safety. Safety is routinely used as an excuse to shut down non-union EBA work sites. This trivialises safety – the most important issue in our industry. Experts agree that the cornerstone of real safety is collaboration. Working together with your team is the best way to improve safety.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN Our plain speaking, fact-based campaign aims to reconnect employers and employees. We’ve developed a suite of fact sheets, and an information pack that can guide employers and employees through the process of negotiating their own EBAs.

You can get the same or better pay and conditions with an EBA that suits you and your company.

It’s time to put that money back in the pockets of workers and businesses. Talk to your team about how you can get a better deal.

Plans of Forbidden City being unfurled.

Chinese treasures on show

anberrans can experience 300 years of Chinese culture and tradition from two of the world’s great libraries this summer. Announcing the exhibition, Celestial Empire: Life in China 1644-1911, National Library of

Australia chairman Ryan Stokes said priceless gems from the National Library of China would explore the life, culture and traditions of the last imperial dynasty that gave birth to modern China.

Mr Stokes watched on as gloved curators carefully unfurled one of the star attractions, a rare plan of the Forbidden City which has never left China before. The six-metre architectural drawing, estimated to have been made in 1889, revealed its still vibrant colours, precision and detail. It belongs to the Lei family who were architects for China’s imperial family for seven generations. Mr Stokes said Celestial Empire combines 80 treasures from the National Library of Australia with 88 items from the National Library of China and had been three years in the planning. “The exhibition provides a rare window into nearly 300 years of life at court, in the fields and in the cities of Beijing and Shanghai – the Qing Dynasty,” he said. “It highlights the importance of what we can do as an institution and expands the understanding of China of that period.”

ACT MLA Chris Bourke said Celestial Empire would join the National Museum of Australia’s Encounters and Tom Roberts at the National Gallery of Australia to provide a rich array of exhibitions this summer which could only be seen in Canberra. “Sharing cultural stories is something Canberra’s attractions do well, and it’s something we want to share with the rest of Australia,” he said. “I look forward to seeing the exhibition because this is the world my great, great grandfather left behind when he came to Australia from China over 150 years ago.” Mr Bourke said such events had a significant impact on the ACT’s economy of which tourism is a vital part, contributing $1.62 billion and employing 14,700 Canberrans. - Diana Streak Celestial Empire: Life in China 16441911, National Library of Australia, 2 January – 22 May 2016.

Maliganis Edwards Johnson advertising moment

James Treloar, who specialises in personal injury litigation with a focus on motor vehicle and public liability compensation, was recently named Partner with Maliganis Edwards Johnson.

Maliganis Edwards Johnson welcomes new Partner Protecting the rights of injured Canberrans for 30 years, Maliganis Edwards Johnson is a leader in their field, and recently welcomed James Treloar as a Partner to the firm. Mr Treloar started at Maliganis Edwards Johnson as Special Counsel in April 2013 and was made Partner earlier this month. Married with three children, Mr Treloar was born and bred in Sydney but came to Canberra to study at the Australian National University. Eventually returning to Sydney, where he worked for a number of firms, Mr Treloar made the move to Canberra for work in 2007 before finding his way to Maliganis Edwards Johnson; a decision he said he hasn’t regretted. “The Partners here I respect, they trust me and that’s gratifying,” he said. “[Taking on Partner] means more responsibility and taking on a leadership role. “It’s only early days as a Partner … one of my roles is to build on the success of the past, consolidate what we’ve achieved and look to the future and the challenges it throws up,” including legislative changes, court changes and changes within the insurance landscape. Specialising in personal injury litigation,

with a particular interest in motor vehicle and public liability compensation, Mr Treloar said he “enjoys the cut and thrust of litigation and the mix of work that you get”. While he describes Maliganis Edwards Johnson as a “relatively small but well-resourced firm”, Mr Treloar said he enjoys the opportunity to work with other Partners and lawyers who have been in the industry for a long time, for the good of the client. “At Maliganis Edwards Johnson I really enjoy helping people,” he said. “It is very satisfying, particularly when clients first come into the office and don’t know if they have a good claim or what their rights are … it’s a nice way to make a living.” Maliganis Edwards Johnson specialises in motor vehicle accident compensation, workplace injuries and workplace compensation, medical negligence and public liability. Their philosophy is simple: “if you have been injured through someone else’s fault,

you deserve fair compensation”. Contact a compensation expert today on 6257 2999.

news Popular Australian group Skipping Girl Vinegar will launch their new album The Great Wave at the National Folk Festival in March.

50th Folk hits high notes he first tranche of the National Folk Festival’s line-up for next year’s 50th anniversary has been announced and with some superb international and local acts already on board, it seems likely to be even more

successful than the 2015 event, which won its category at the Canberra Region Tourism Awards last week. Festival director Pam Merrigan was reluctant to name her favourites but says she is

excited that the Jerry Cans from Canada and Spiro from the UK were coming to Canberra after WOMADelaide and WOMAD NZ. “They are both incredibly different and will stretch the notion of ‘folk’,” she says. “Spiro’s music is a mash-up of minimalist classical, dance music and a kind of majestic cinematic feel all delivered with a contemporary edge while the Jerry Cans have been described as a cross between the Clash and the Pogues.” Among the Australian groups are the delightfully named April Maze, All Our Exes Live in Texas, Women in Docs, Bluetongue Bush Ceilidh, Perch Creek, Bush Gothic and, a personal favourite, Skipping Girl Vinegar. Described as a “force of nature” Skipping Girl Vinegar will launch their new album The Great Wave at the festival.

Merrigan says there is a very special program planned for the 2016 festival which will feature over 1,200 artists over five days, 24-28 March. “There’ll be artists and audiences converging from every corner of the globe and around Australia to be part of our 50th celebrations, and we do have a few surprises in store.” Celtic folk rock group Manran is one of the best loved Scottish bands on the world scene. “They have played prestigious festivals throughout the world and are absolutely thrilling live.” Other international acts include Vishten from French Canada, Jaaleekaay from West Africa, and one of the most sought after acts on the English folk scene, The Young’uns. Two of the world’s foremost guitar players – Tony McManus from Scotland and Beppe Gambetta from Italy – will be a winning combination.

“I really look forward to the whole idea of an event that can bring together everything from high-end internationals to A-list Australian artists to emerging talent right through to grass roots and community participants. It really is quite unique.” The first National Folk Festival took place in 1967 in Melbourne and was held in a different town each year until 1993, when it became a fixture on Canberra’s cultural calendar. It has become an important event for the city, generating over $5 million into the economy,

and contributes significantly to an increased tourism market to Canberra and region over the Easter period with 64% of its paying visitors coming from outside the region. Merrigan says there will be more releases coming over the weeks leading up to the festival. “We certainly still have more international acts to reveal before the big 50 comes around next March.” - Diana Streak

Alfonso, 17 months, receives a toy from Santa.

Santa delivers toys and joy to sick kids oung patients at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children received a surprise early visit from Santa on Friday 11 December as staff members from Woolworths stores across the ACT helped deliver toys. “Christmas can be a difficult time for sick children and their families,” Woolworths Belconnen store manager, Craig Downs, said. “We bring a little joy to their lives.”

For children like Ruby, 2, and Alfonso, 17 months, a visit from Santa makes their day a little bit brighter. “The kids love it,” Mr Downs said. “It just makes their day. And it’s something small that we can give back to the community.” Woolworths delivered 65 gifts to the children’s wards while plenty more will be distributed to children who find themselves in hospital between now and Christmas, with a few extras for those in hospital on Christmas morning. A spokesperson from the Canberra Hospital Foundation said they were privileged to have the ongoing support of Woolworths and that it had been very rewarding to see how excited the children had been to have Santa visit and give them such beautiful gifts. For over 10 years, Woolworths staff have donated gifts, organised a special visit from Santa and delivered toys to the children in the Canberra Hospital. Zone Operations Manager, Jeremy Keeffe, said that the support from Woolworths staff made the visit possible. “They’re the ones who spend their time putting it all together,” Mr Keeffe said. - Laura White

Clonakilla wine sets record price The Independent Property Group Foundation held an unusual charity auction on Thursday 10 December, with prominent figures of the Canberra property sector attending. The item for sale was a rare Imperial (six litre) bottle of Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier, from the 2015 vintage. While the bottle, signed by award-winning winemaker Tim Kirk, set tongues wagging, it was the contents – or rather the lack of – which truly excited attendees. There was no opportunity to taste the wine before placing bids since the Shiraz is still in the barrel and not ready to be bottled until mid-2016. Despite this, the bottle, which was donated by Tim Kirk of Clonakilla winery, sold for a record price of $10,200 to a local businessman. All proceeds will be donated to Bosom Buddies ACT. The charity auction was a great end to a successful year of fundraising for the Foundation, who recently donated $40,000 to Lifeline Canberra and the Canberra Hospital Foundation, and has raised almost $200,000 for local Canberra charities in 2015.

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).

Russell Hannah and Laurie Burton with their 1976 Datsun 260Z claimed the outright classic title at the 2015 Australian Tarmac Rally Championship.

Local crews driven to succeed Two Canberra-based rally crews have achieved success in the 2015 Australian Tarmac Rally Championship with Laurie Burton and Russell Hannah and their 1976 Datsun 260Z topping the points tally for the outright classic title, while Damian O’Halloran and Simon Winter and their 1987 Mazda RX7 claimed honours for the year in the Modern 2WD class. The four-event series wrapped up over the first weekend in December, with the Snowy River Sprint. Burton described himself as “ecstatic” with his title win and says despite his advancing years, he will probably back up to do it all again in 2016. O’Halloran was equally delighted with his win and has already signed up for the four events next year.

Football participation grows Participation in organised football has jumped 20% in 2015, a Football Federation Australia (FFA) national audit has found, and it’s a similar tale in Canberra with an 11.5% increase. The audit data from the FFA highlights that football participation in Canberra and the region grew from 15,087 in 2014 to 16,829 in 2015 (+1,742), and Futsal participation grew from 4,284 in 2014 to 4,777 this year.

Brumbies and Wallabies back rower David Pocock has crowned an outstanding 2015 season by taking out the Rugby Union Players’ Association (RUPA) Medal for Excellence – Australia’s highest player-voted individual honour. Pocock, who won the same award in 2010, also won the People’s Choice Award. “It’s always an honour to be recognised by your peers,” he said. “They are the ones you play alongside and against, and at the end of the day their opinion really does matter, so it’s a huge honour to win the RUPA Medal for Excellence.” In addition, Brumbies backrower Ita Vaea, who played with the UC Vikings in the National Rugby Championship (NRC), was named as the NRC Players’ Player. In total there were 13 Brumbies representatives nominated for this year’s RUPA Awards.

This Christmas, after buying for family and friends, Red Cross is asking you to consider one more gift to support the work of Red Cross. “One more gift can be a daily phone call to check on the welfare of an older or isolated person living alone,” says actress and Red Cross Ambassador, Kate Ritchie (pictured). “Christmas is not always a joyful occasion; many will be lonely or separated from their families over the festive season. One more gift to Red Cross can be a hot meal for a homeless teenager on Christmas Eve, clean drinking water for a young child in Myanmar or support for a community trying to rebuild after a fire or flood.” To give one more gift, call 1800 811 700 or donate online at redcross.org.au

PEACH AND RASPBERRY PAVLOVA Serves 10

6 eggs, separated 360g caster sugar 1 tsp white wine vinegar 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) A few drops of natural vanilla essence 375g mascarpone 200ml of pure cream (35% fat), lightly whipped 2-3 drops rosewater (optional) 3 Tbsp icing sugar 1 vanilla bean 300g raspberries 100g blackcurrants 50g sugar 1 Tbsp water 250ml lemon curd 2 peaches 100g blueberries or silvanberries, or both Preheat the oven to 160°C. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then whisk in the sugar, then the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence. The mixture should be stiff by now. Tip onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and use a spatula to form a steepsided round, 6cm high and 25cm diameter. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven to 140°C and bake for about 90 minutes, checking that it doesn’t brown too much – if at all – and turning down the oven further as need be. Allow to cool in the turned-off oven (some modern ovens may need to be wedged open so the meringue doesn’t sweat).

DAZZLING DESSERTS

Finish your Christmas day in the sweetest way possible and indulge in some delicious treats before those New Year’s resolutions kick in. After the presents have been opened, and merely the bone of the ham remains, the last responsibility of Christmas day is dishing out a show-stopping dessert. Here are three desserts that are sure to satisfy. 56

Combine the mascarpone, cream, rosewater (if using), icing sugar and seeds scraped from the vanilla bean. Stir well, taking care not to over whip, or the mixture will split. Heat half the raspberries over gentle heat to break them down to a sauce. Allow to cool and stir, in one or two quick motions, into the mascarpone mixture so it’s kind of rippled. Heat the blackcurrants with the sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat to melt and soften. When fruit is soft, press through a sieve and discard solids. Spread lemon curd over the top of the pav, cover with the mascarpone mixture, flip then garnish with sliced peaches, the remaining raspberries and the page the blueberries and silvanberries for more if you have them. Drizzle on the recipes blackcurrant syrup to serve.

COCONUT CAKE Serves 16

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease two 20cm cake tins and line them with baking paper.

4 eggs

Using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer, beat the eggs for 4-5 minutes or until pale and creamy. With the mixer still running, gradually add the caster sugar and continue to beat for 3-4 minutes. The mixture is ready when it forms a ribbon. (When the paddle or spoon is lifted out of the mixture, it should leave a trail, like a ribbon, across the surface for a moment before it sinks in.)

2 cups caster sugar 2 cups plain flour 2 tsps baking powder ¼ tsps salt 1 cup milk 125g butter 1 tsps vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 1 Tbsp coconut extract

In the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop, heat the milk and butter until just melted. Add the vanilla and the coconut extract and gently fold the mixture through the batter. Pour half the batter into each tin.

Coconut buttercream 380g butter, at room temperature 2 tsps vanilla extract ¼ cup coconut extract 6 cups icing sugar mixture 1 cup apricot jam 4 cups toasted coconut flakes (see note) 1 cup moist coconut flakes (see note) 16 strawberries, hulled

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Fold through the egg mixture.

Place the tins side by side on the centre shelf of the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until risen, golden brown, and starting to come away from the sides of the tins. A skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. To make the coconut buttercream, cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until lighter

NOTE: Toasted coconut flakes and moist coconut flakes are available in the cake-making section of the supermarket.

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 do you call a big ﬁsh who makes you an offer you can’t refuse? A: The Codfather.

• Always defrost ﬁsh and seafood in a covered bowl, in the fridge. • Cover Oysters with two sheets of wet paper, then seal in a container or with wrap, and refrigerate.

• Smoked Trout should never be stored in the plastic that it is sold in.

Put the top layer on and spread a generous layer of buttercream over it. Use the remaining buttercream to evenly coat the sides of the cake. Carefully press toasted coconut flakes around the sides of the cake. Use the piping bag to pipe 16 small swirls of buttercream around the top of the cake. Sprinkle the moist coconut flakes over the top of the cake, avoiding the swirls. Place a strawberry on top of each swirl.

Salmon, Prawns, Lobster, Oysters, Mussels, Swordﬁsh, Snapper, Trout, Tuna, Squid, Caviar, Scallops and more!

FishCo Fish Market delivers the best variety and quality of fresh ﬁsh and seafood at the best prices. We encourage all customers to always try cooked prawns and oysters before buying.

To assemble the cake, cut the 2 cakes horizontally in half to create 4 layers. Warm the jam in a microwave-safe jug in the microwave for 40 seconds on high. Starting with the bottom layer, spread the top with warm apricot jam and a 1cm-thick layer of coconut buttercream. Place the next 2 layers on top, each time adding a layer of jam and buttercream.

in colour. Add the vanilla and coconut extract and mix for a moment to combine. Sift the icing sugar mixture into the bowl and combine on a low speed. When the mixture is all wet, increase the speed and beat until light and fluffy. Place about ½ a cup of the icing in a piping bag with a 1cm star-shaped nozzle.

Not sure if your dessert is Christmas-y enough? Here are a few ways to dress up your dessert to make it worthy of any Christmas table. • Seasonal, brightly coloured fruit will give any dessert that kick it needs to look worthy of the Christmas table. • Use leftover Christmas ribbon to dress up the final gift of the day. • For those dreaming of a white Christmas, a simple dessert sprinkled with coconut or with icing sugar sifted over the top will help to create a winter wonderland theme. • Finish off a dessert with decorations or chocolates in the shape of trees, stars, wreaths, snowmen or anything Christmas-y.

This is an extract from Maggie Beer’s Summer Harvest Recipes, by Maggie Beer, photography by Mark Chew, $29.99, published by Lantern.

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS Serves 6

500g fresh dark cherries 1 Tbsp caster sugar 2 Tbsp Kirsch custard 2 large eggs ¼ cup (55g) caster sugar ¼ cup (50g) plain flour ½ cup (125ml) crème fraîche or sour cream ½ cup (125ml) cream Grated rind of 1 lemon Butter for baking Icing sugar for dusting Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the cherries in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle the caster sugar and kirsch over them. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the cherries are cooked but still firm. Set the cherries aside and reserve the cooking juices. For the custard, beat the eggs in an electric mixer, then add the caster sugar and beat until frothy. Carefully add the flour and combine, then add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cherry cooking juices, the crème fraîche, cream and lemon rind. Dot a gratin or small baking dish with a little butter (I use a 30cm oval copper baking dish), then spread half the custard over the base of the dish. Spoon in the cooked cherries to cover the custard, then add the remaining custard. Bake for 25-30 minutes; the top will be golden and the cherries will appear as little mounds in the custard. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar. 60

ART AND ABOUT

CSO artistic director Nicholas Milton has been nominated for a Grammy Award. Photo Stephen Corey

Milton nominated for Grammy Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s charismatic chief conductor and artistic director Nicholas Milton has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Classical Instrumental Solo category for his work with German concert pianist Joseph Moog. The nomination is a result of collaboration between Moog, Milton, and the Deutsche Radiophilharmonie and their production of the album, Grieg and Moszkowski: Piano Concertos. Milton says he was shocked and delighted to receive the nomination. “Joseph Moog and I have done a couple of recordings together and we’ve got a couple in the pipeline, and he’s a magnificent pianist and we’ve worked well together for a long time. “From the very first time we worked together, we had a mutual understanding of the music. We feel the same way about the tempo, the timing, the transitions, and the emotion of the music, and it’s that very good musical understanding between the two of us that’s resulted in some very good recordings,” he says. 62

“I feel the same way about working with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra. There’s a very special connection with the orchestra and I think you can’t really make music properly unless you have got this understanding. That’s something that audiences recognise too, which is why we’re consistently selling out concerts. “The orchestra is playing at a superb level. I come to a rehearsal thinking, ‘oh this is a tricky program’, but I come away euphoric because the orchestra is playing at a terrific level – it’s very special.” Milton says he is not sure whether he will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Taylor Swift at the ceremony in Los Angeles in February next year. “I haven’t quite worked out my itinerary.”

Mio Kuhnen created 12 silver and copper pins embossed by Plymouth Rock feathers she kept from her childhood. “The egg shapes relate to the different heritage chicken breeds I have owned in my backyard, “she says. Each breed has their own unique shape colour and beautiful egg form. “When travelling recently in the US, I was astounded that people thought eggs were only white (which have been bleached) and all the same size. This collection of pins is to highlight that eggs come in all various shapes and sizes, colours and imperfections. Cage eggs are not real eggs, but a mass production of animal cruelty to give us what we are told is the ‘perfect’ egg.” Belconnen Community Centre, 14 December to 8 January. Phone 6264 0200 for opening hours.

One Dozen by Mio Kuhnen.

Four Canberra artists, Angela Parragi, Shan Crosbie, Karyn Fearnside and Mio Kuhnen, have joined up to share their love of chickens in a new exhibition, Fowl Play, which also looks at the dark side of the way these humble creatures are treated.

One of Australia’s greatest living artists, John Olsen, has gifted a significant new painting, Brindabellas, to the Canberra Museum and Gallery (CMAG). Arts Minister Joy Burch says Olsen was inspired by the work of landscape painter Elioth Gruner during a 2014 exhibition at CMAG. The painting will be on display until 31 January.

Open Friday to Sunday 10am – 4pm CWM14089

Forced in the name of good cheer to converge yet again for their annual dose of resentment and disappointment aka Christmas Eve dinner, four generations of the Cooper family relive past issues in a groundhog day of pretense; but this year, will home truths finally be digested? While family matriarch Charlotte (Diane Keaton) clings to the idea of one last happy Christmas before her and husband Sam (John Goodman) announce their split after 40 years; her eldest son Hank (Ed Helms) lies about his employment and her daughter Eleanor (Olivia Wilde) begs stranger Joe (Jake Lacy) at the airport to be her fake “fiancé” for the evening, all in the name of appearances.

Then there is Charlotte’s lonely dad Bucky (Alan Arkin) who has feelings for a young waitress Ruby (Amanda Seyfried), her misfit sister Emma (Marisa Tomei) who resorts to breaking the law just to be noticed, a time befuddled Aunt Fishy (June Squibb), who has no sense of appropriateness, and

Rarely is a tagline so adept at describing exactly what you would like to do with a film, in this case, regift it. From the makers of classic Christmas dramedy The Family Stone comes the saccharin laden Love the Coopers. Lost in predictable dysfunctional family story threads and overused obvious voiceovers, this sugar-coated attempt at sentiment tries to make us forget it’s just another contrived and schmaltzy holiday movie but fails to deliver a single moment of genuineness.

hat a wonderful time of the year it is – friends and family all around, kids going crazy with excitement and everyone enjoying the presents under the Christmas tree. It is also a great time to find a little time to have a look at your personal health and fitness, and think about how you can improve your and your family’s health and activity level for the New Year. The reality for this festive time of the year is this: overeating, having a few drinks, not getting enough rest, doing less exercise and having a social calendar to match Santa’s. Enjoy your holidays and the time you have with your family and friends, these are precious moments to relax and enjoy, you’ve worked hard all year so make the most of them! So how can you enjoy the festive period but also keep your health and fitness intact? Here are some of my suggestions. • Take a bit of time off to let your body rest. • Find a friend that you can start training with in the New Year and do a plan together – but don’t overcommit. Start with a goal of two sessions a week. • Start to shape your New Year healthy eating plan by deciding what foods you would like to cut out and those you’d like to eat more of. • Have the right exercise gear ready to go: fitness gear makes a great present suggestion

WITH LEE CAMPBELL, CELEBRITY TRAINER, HEALTH & FITNESS PROFESSIONAL BFIRM.COM.AU

too! It will help you make a good start for 2016. • Motivation starts with you: remember that! • Start every day with 10 minutes of exercise – it’s easier to find time at the start of the day, rather than rushing at the end of it. • Drinking one glass of water 30 minutes before every meal can help you avoid overeating. • Work on body weight exercises and make a goal to master them. • Find five minutes a day to do situps and lower back rolls. Your festive workout Here are some ways to fit in a workout during the festive period. • Get the whole family outside for a walk. • Spend time actively playing with your kids. • After lunch, play some fun relays or ball games with the family. • Stretch for 10-20 minutes in the early evening – this can help with your sleeping. • Four must-do exercises are: push-ups, squats, sit-ups, stepups. Do each exercise for 30 seconds, repeat 5 times. • Get in a pool session: swim a length, then tread water for one minute, then get out and do 25 push-ups. Get back in the pool and swim back. Repeat 10 times. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy New Year! I look forward to training you all in 2016!

A close up of semi-mature pomegranate flowers, as well of their lovely glossy foliage.

The lovely Punica granatum ‘Wonderful’ variety, commonly known as pomegranate, is well suited to pot culture.

IN FLOWER THIS WEEK: PUNICA GRANATUM

unica granatum, otherwise known as pomegranate or food of the gods, is a gorgeous fruiting tree with countless functions. If it’s aesthetics or culinary adventures you crave, then pomegranate is for you. This deciduous beauty has small glossy foliage, festive orange flowers and delectable fruit that is experiencing a significant resurgence in popularity. It has small thorns too so makes for a useful wildlife habitat and exclusion plant. Fruiting pomegranates (there are ornamental forms available also) grow to approximately three metres in height and width, and begin fruiting in their third year providing conditions are favourable, and reach optimum fruiting maturity at around six years. Pomegranates require long hot summers and cold winters to fruit well. There are countless varieties of pomegranates available with a range of fruiting sizes and times; as with all fruiting plants, it makes good sense to grow several varieties for security against seasonal variations. Formative pruning is needed when establishing to maintain a single trunk and remove suckering growth – although much of this can be left in backyard situations if a bushier, more spreading specimen is what you are after. Punica granatum is relatively hardy, growing in sunny aspects and a range of soils, provided drainage and fertility are reasonable. For quality

fruiting, a soil pH of 5.5-7.0, reliable watering in the fruiting season, and soil treats and composts high in nitrogen should be maintained. Use non-synthetic products wherever possible to help maintain a more resilient plant and a selfsustaining, happy soil ecosystem. Pomegranates also make great pot specimens. Pomegranates don’t have many pest and disease ailments to speak of, particularly if grown organically. Aphids, flat mites and omnivorous leaf minor may put in an appearance, but generally won’t need chemical treatment if there are beneficial insects in the vicinity. Strap yourself in if you haven’t savoured the sweet and sour pop of pomegranate seeds – I can guarantee you won’t have tasted a texture or flavour quite like it. Classed as a superfood, pomegranate is used in all manner of dishes and beverages including sweet and savoury, cooked or fresh. It is also used to produce pomegranate molasses, a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern and Moroccan dishes, amongst others. There are many varieties of pomegranate in existence but generally you will only find the larger, dark coloured fruits on the supermarket shelf. Farmer’s markets would be the place to try for more unusual varieties. To extract the seed, cut the fruit in half and give several firm whacks with a rolling pin or similar. Propagation of pomegranates can be carried out using several methods including:

A botanical drawing of pomegranate, which I retrieved from Remarkable Plants That Shape Our World by Helen & William Bynum 2014, a fascinating and beautiful read.

Seed sowing – maintains genetic diversity and resilience but pot luck when it comes to quality fruiting individuals. If you have the time and room to plant several seedlings, this is a good option and you may even grow a brand new variety; Hardwood cuttings – the most expedient way of propagating pomegranates and ensuring you maintain the traits of the parent plant (a clone); Grafting – a more specialised method of propagation which utilises hardy varieties as the rootstock. Grafted plants generally fruit earlier and more prolifically than non-grafted specimens.

Watson is split into the old and the new, with medium-density developments in the newer parts.

Inner beauty hanks to the rapid expansion of Gungahlin, Watson is now considered part of the inner north. Its popularity is improving as a result, according to LJ Hooker agent Lisa Coombe. “Watson has definitely become more desirable I have noticed over the last three years,” Coombe says. “I am continually seeing more and more people at my open homes.” Bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue and Antill Street, the suburb is split into the old and the new.

The Starlight Drive-in site has been redeveloped into mediumdensity housing, although the drive-in’s sign remains. However, it is houses in old established Watson that are sought after, Coombe says. “Four-bedroom two-bathroom houses seem to generate more interest over the three-bedroom properties,” she says. Streets that back onto parkland or are within walking distance to the school and shops are in demand. The bests streets are “any street really in the established area”, she says, such as A’beckett,

Irvine and Andrews streets. The suburb appeals to young couples with children who attend the local schools. There’s also a local shopping centre, medical centre, service station, arts centre and a Catholic university campus. The former Watson High School now houses the Canberra Technology Park. Parts of Watson boast views of Mt Majura, and the nature reserve is popular with locals, as are the Saturday farmers markets at EPIC. Named after the third Prime Minister of Australia, John Christian Watson, streets are named after Australian judges and legal professionals. Watson has gross rental yield of 4.1%, the average days on the market is 57 and vendor discounting is -2.15%.

expert advice Julie M Cumming Director Hatch Properties

What are pitfalls of buying off the plan? One of the biggest traps buying off the plan is in not really understanding the detail of what you are purchasing. It is vital to peel back the sales “spin” and see what you are really buying. Illustrations can mislead the sizing of rooms. Prices may drop over the construction period so at settlement you are required to provide more funds. Finance rules and interest rates may change unfavourably over the construction period making it difficult for you to settle and risk losing your deposit. If the developer goes broke, you experience delays and ongoing warranty issues. The timing of construction is not fixed and your circumstances may have changed by completion. While warranty on new may be appealing, getting work rectified is often not so easy. There may be a large number of investors buying so getting a tenant at completion is more difficult at the quoted price.

Market cools as investors flee

KAREN HERRICK Sales Consultant, Auctioneer LJ Hooker Moruya

Before I was in real estate I was a dementia specific nurse in aged care; I found that I had a knack with people - be it the residents or the family members. People always told me I should get into real estate, so one day I did. Over the years I have learnt it really is a case of different strokes for different folks. It never ceases to amaze me that for every property there is a person, and every person a property, sometimes the price tag gets in the way though. I’m very fortunate to be in an industry that once upon a time was thought of poorly by the general public, but industry standards have lifted, recommendations from state governments and legislation that has been bought in over the years has now made it one of the most regulated professions. Plus, I get to meet people every day, look in people’s houses, and spend my time in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. I’m very, very lucky. My life is never boring, busy with stuff going on all the time. People don’t realise how much goes on behind the scenes of selling a

property. This is a person’s most valuable asset, they have high expectations and there is so much to do to join the dots together to pull a sale over the line. When I was 18, I wish I knew that looking back on my 1980s photos I would be so embarrassed about wearing a bubble skirt and lace gloves! I wish I had the courage to write a book about some of the hilarious things that have happened over the years whilst selling houses. The best investment I made was investing in myself in going into real estate. It was scary and I was in my mid 30s and I had young kids. It was a big risk for me, like jumping into the ocean without a life jacket; a real case of sink or swim. The biggest lesson I have ever learnt is there is no place like home. I moved away from the South Coast and ran an agency in the Hunter Valley; the whole

time I was desperately unhappy and homesick. Coming back after nearly three years away was like trumpets were playing, the clouds cleared and there were rainbows and butterflies waiting for me - not really but I was so glad to be back where I loved that that is what it felt like. My biggest regret was not getting into real estate earlier. It’s the perfect job for me, and they always say that if you love your job, it’s not a job anymore.

Housing price growth continues to slow, as the latest figures show investors are leaving the market in droves. In October, the number of investment loan approvals dropped 6.1%, and 18.9% from their record high in April, while approvals for owner-occupiers rose just 0.4%. The value of investor loans nationally, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, is now $11.5 billion, the weakest since June 2014. Overall, total housing finance remains flat at $33.2 billion. For the ACT, the trend in the number of owner-occupier commitments continues to flat line, while Canberra (19.8%) and Adelaide (0.9%) are the only capital cities where new listings are higher than 12 months ago. Canberra is still the third most expensive capital city with the median house price currently $575,000 (up 4.5% in 2015), behind Sydney at $810,000 (12.8%) and Melbourne $603,000 (11.8%). The overall health of the ACT housing market is strong with the average days on the market at 26 (houses) and 53 (units), with vendor discounting at -3.5% (houses) and -5.3% (units). - Lyndall Larkham Email property@canberraweekly.com.au

A resort of your own GORDON 44 CLEM HILL STREET

oasting views of Tuggeranong Valley, this beautiful fourbedroom home “offers resortstyle living” without the price tag. The stunning property, which is set on a 750sqm block, features an in-ground pool and entertaining area with “magnificent views of the entire valley”, according to agent Scott Jackson. The house boasts 240sqm of living, with large areas that offer multiple living options, Jackson says. The spacious family room leads out to the alfresco entertainment area overlooking the pool. There’s also a vibrant new kitchen comprising stone bench tops, modern appliances, easy-to-access drawers and a good-sized pantry. “All the hard work has been done for you,” Jackson says. The large master bedroom has a generous walk-in robe and ensuite, while the two other bedrooms on

this level have built-in robes. They are serviced by a bathroom complete with spa bath and separate toilet. The huge downstairs rumpus, which has previously housed a billiard table and bar set-up, provides a number of options for the family. The fourth bedroom and separate bathroom are also on this level. There is a large storage area under the house, Jackson says, that subject to approval could be turned into more rooms. Other features include air conditioning, solar panels, and a double garage plus two other car port spaces. The property is in a “prime location”, Jackson says, “surrounded by other quality homes and the views make this spot tightly held”. Close to schools, transport and Lanyon Market Place, it is also within walking distance to Point Hut District Park and the Murrumbidgee River.

PICK OF THE WEEK Spirited Away Friday, SBS, 7.30pm, PG (2001) This masterpiece by film legend Hayao Miyazaki took more money than Titanic in Japan on its release and it’s easy to see why. The Alice in Wonderland-style tale centres on Chihiro (left), a feisty girl who accidentally winds up in a spirit world while moving house with her family. The wonder turns sour when her parents are turned into pigs by spirits after they greedily eat a free meal. With an assortment of fantastical characters helping her, Chihiro tries to break the spirits’ spell. A feast for the eyes as well as the mind.

Friday

Love Actually

LOTR: The Two Towers Saturday, GO!, 8.30pm, M (2002) Peter Jackson underlined his status as one of cinema’s true visionaries with his second episode of J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast trilogy. Squeezing the complexity of the novel into three hours, Jackson still finds time to devote around 40 minutes to one of the most spectacular battle sequences ever captured. But the true triumph lies closer to Mordor, where Frodo (Elijah Wood, above) and Sam (Sean Astin) are joined by Gollum. Aided by the voice of Andy Serkis, Gollum is cinema’s first truly believable 3D character. A rare sequel that improves upon the stunning original.

Monday, PRIME7, 8.30pm, M (2003) Love knows no bounds for the multitude of characters in this ensemble romantic comedy from screenwriter Richard Curtis (Notting Hill). Hugh Grant, Colin Firth (right), Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson and Keira Knightley lead a cheerful circle of Londoners – interrelated by family or friendship – looking for something a little extra in their stocking in the leadup to Christmas. Grant is dynamite as the hip British Prime Minister on the lookout, Bill Nighy is a hoot as a cheeky, over-the-hill rocker, and Martin Freeman scores laughs as a nude body double.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

This is the ideal month to take time off to be with close friends and loved ones and to simply enjoy life. With Uranus running retrograde you need to be selective of what you and the family do; taking on too much will only exhaust you.

Uranus retrograde warns you to tread lightly with loved ones and associates as disagreements are likely because you won’t appreciate other people telling you how to live your life. Be diplomatic in trying to persuade them; you know what is best for your own wellbeing and peace of mind.

With nostalgic stars blazing brightly, you’ll be spending time revisiting the past; relatives you haven't seen for a while or even friends you went to school with may resurface. People are likely to be feeling somewhat vulnerable so avoid pushing a friend beyond their limits; be gentle with them.

Avoid procrastinating and focus on tying up loose ends in order to start 2016 fresh. Owing to the beneficial influences from both Venus and Neptune, your chart is full of possibilities. If you've been wanting to ask a favour of a superior or loved one, just do it!

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

With Uranus retrograde, you’ll need to avoid negative thinking. A pep talk with a friend will put you back on track. This is the ideal time to rein in your bad habits, so focus on improving your looks and diet. If that sweet tooth has flared, start by restocking your pantry.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 Avoid taking yourself too seriously and focus on creating a light-hearted atmosphere. Mars in Libra is a lucky time for business partnerships; you and your colleagues will either be able to conclude a long-term project or make a new start with a fresh project.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 Uranus retrograde is all about purging and regeneration, so instead of over-indulging in food or drink at the slightest provocation, why not try a quick detox or toss out some old clothes. Consider a gentle exercise program or go for walks with the family dog or friends.

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23 Uranus retrograde warns you about burning the candle at both ends, so focus on keeping everything in moderation otherwise your body will respond to the stress that you’re likely to put it under. You’re likely to drink and eat too much so catch a ride, don’t drive.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23 You’ll be feeling confident and can look forward to plenty of good chats and a few startling revelations while out socialising with friends, colleagues, neighbours or a new crowd. If you are looking for Christmas presents, listen to your intuition and you’re sure to nab a few bargains.

On a professional level, you're becoming more efficient with both your time and money, but don't waste energy trying to cajole others, they'll join in their own time. Meanwhile channel your enthusiasm into a project at work or release your inner clean freak at home.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 Uranus is retrograde and you will need to be very careful of your spending habits. In the coming year, you will no longer be able to drift along making the same old mistakes; the lessons you will be learning will be of accountability and responsibility.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 Some much anticipated news will bring a fortuitous gain, so get that bubbly on ice! For singles, power might act as an aphrodisiac, but be careful of mixing work and play. Uranus is retrograde so take care when discussing sensitive subjects with friends and loved ones.

Thanks to the Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment release of Ricki and The Flash out now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, you could win you and your friend a DVD! Hollywood legend Meryl Streep returns in a role like none other – a rock star singer and guitarist in Ricki and the Flash (PG). Directed by Oscar winning Jonathan Demme and written by Oscar winning Diablo Cody, Ricki and the Flash is an insightful glimpse into family dynamics and the lure of the rock and roll lifestyle. Ricki Rendazzo (Streep) said goodbye to her marriage, kids and normal life to travel the country as an electrifying rock star performer. Continually tormented by the guilt she feels at abandoning her family, Ricki is given a chance at redemption when her ex-husband Pete (Kevin Kline) asks her to visit Indianapolis to help their estranged daughter Julie (Meryl Streep’s real-life daughter Mamie Gummer) through a difficult time.

When Ricki returns she is confronted by some harsh realisations – her children hate her, she hasn’t been invited to her son’s wedding and her daughter is struggling to accept her divorce. Ricki must face the music and put her own needs last to reconcile and win back the love of her family.

Enter to WIN Canberra Weekly has 5 x 2-DVD sets of Ricki and The Flash (DVDs valued at $39.95 each) to be won. To enter, email competitions@canberraweekly.com.au with ‘Ricki and The Flash’ in the subject field.

FAMILY TIME “Every spare moment is spent spending time with my wife and children. With three girls and a little boy, netball and the colour pink dominate our household, but that’s fine with me.”

FISHING

GARDENING “Once again I love being outdoors and although I only have a smallish backyard, I have it jam packed with maple trees, climbing vines, pots and plants in all shapes and sizes and of course the kids’ cubby house.”

Photos Gary Schafer

“If we get a spare hour or so we love to get outdoors and go fishing. All the kids enjoy it but especially my little four-year-old boy. I love sitting by a river relaxing, it takes me back to my childhood memories.”

Alan Tongue NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE AMBASSADOR

Community has always been a focus for former Canberra Raiders player Alan Tongue. This year, Alan has helped launch a new family violence education program alongside Barnardos, as well as a schools program – Aspire – aimed to help young people find their self-worth. “My heart has always been for working in the community as this was instilled in me from growing up in a small farming community of about 50 people,” Alan says. “We all had to help each other out and I really valued that experience and try and bring that value into my work”. - Allison Redman

146

COOKING “I love cooking with the family. Friday nights is homemade pizza night in our house but I really enjoying having a crack at just about anything. The kids love getting involved and always make the process messy and a challenge.”

SPORT “Although my playing days are long behind me I love getting involved in a variety of sports. Mainly with the kids, but tennis is a favourite in our house at the moment as well as plenty of netball, cricket, bike riding and, of course, rugby league.”
