This week...

This time of year isn’t called the silly season for nothing. While it can be fun to feel the buzz of the festivities, it’s important not to feel swamped by the silliness. And with new research by AMP showing almost three-quarters (71%) of Aussies admit to spending more than they can afford at Xmas, you wouldn’t be alone if you felt a bit overwhelmed. Their advice is to set a budget – and stick to it! Several families I know give gifts only to the under 18s; others buy only one present, at an agreed value, for the relative whose name they’ve drawn from the hat. For many, the focus is on spending quality time with loved ones – the gift being their shared presence. In this edition, our wellbeing guru Wesley Smith also offers some useful tips to help you enjoy the season, without the overload. Flip to page 74 for his sage advice. Reasons to be grateful this past week include a fun night at Juliet’s with charming company, entertaining conversation and delicious food (especially her artichoke pasta and Clive’s hummus), Bosom Buddies’ delightful theatre luncheon with the legendary Nancye Hayes and Todd McKenney, a lovely evening at the Christmas in Glebe Park preview event hosted by realestate.com.au, Canberra Centre’s innovative skype masterclass with supermodel Miranda Kerr, an indulgent pedicure, fresh cherries and solar powered icicle lights. - Julie Samaras

MOVE IN BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

news Summernats aims to broaden appeal Summernats is set to roar into the capital early in the new year with a number of changes as the event continues to evolve to cater to a wider audience. Notably, Summernats co-owner Andy Lopez said they have opted to cancel Miss Summernats as they work towards making the car festival an inclusive place, free of harassment, with a particular focus on the female demographic. He said they want women to feel safe and comfortable at the event to encourage further participation as a spectator or future participant. The ACT Government has welcomed the moves to develop Summernats into a more familyfriendly show catering to a wide and growing audience. “If you are going to grow the event you can’t have 50% of the population feel excluded … it needs to be more inclusive and accessible,” ACT Chief

Minister Andrew Barr said. To help grow the event further, the ACT Government has agreed to a three-year funding arrangement with the event organisers of $200,000 per year from 2018 to 2020 from the existing Major Events Fund. “There are a number of initiatives that will be rolled out over the next 24 months in conjunction with the government that will help us continue to add value to the event in the future,” Mr Lopez said. Summernats brings in about $25 million to the ACT economy each year, however, Mr Lopez is keen to see this figure grow by working with Canberra attractions to encourage Summernats visitors to extend their stays. Mr Lopez said the event is on track for over 2,000 cars and a projected 100,000 patrons to walk through the gates – with around 80,000 visitors coming from interstate. Summernats has this year started

Summernats 31 was officially launched on Thursday 7 December. The event, on from 4 to 7 January 2018, is expected to attract over 2,000 cars and 100,000 patrons and inject $25 million into the local economy.

a partnership with the Canberra Institute of Technology and the team from the Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws. The partnership involves the Street Outlaws show sending over a Chevy truck from the US for apprentices and teachers at CIT to build into a ‘burnout truck’. This process is being filmed and will then be broadcast to millions around the world. Summernats 31 will also feature the National Burnout Masters, The Summernats Grand Champion, performances by Wolfmother and

Thundamentals, free kids’ activities and a fireworks spectacular. In terms of safety, Mr Lopez said spectators will be banned from riding in the back of utes after the death of a 30-year-old man at this year’s event, while they continue to work closely with WorkSafe ACT to deliver a safe festival. Summernats 31 runs from 4 to 7 January 2018 at Exhibition Park in Mitchell. The annual City Cruise, featuring about 300 cars, will be held on Thursday 4 January. - Allison Turnbull

Joint operation records significant drug bust

A 23-year-old Canberra man was arrested following the detection of 356kg of MDMA at a Sydney air cargo facility which was bound for the ACT. Photo: ACT Policing.

A 23-year-old Canberra man was arrested on Tuesday 5 December in relation to a drug consignment with an estimated street value up to $40.5 million detected at a Sydney air cargo facility. Australian Border Force (ABF) officials intercepted a consignment from Germany, bound for an address in Fyshwick, in May. The consignment contained 144 buckets labelled as chlorine, concealing bags of a white crystalline substance. A presumptive test indicated a positive reaction to 10

methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA). Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers seized the consignment and forensic testing confirmed the total weight of MDMA concealed in the consignment was 356kg. This has the potential to produce over 1.2 million tablets. The AFP commenced the investigation into the intended recipient of the MDMA, who is also part of an ongoing broader organised crime investigation by ACT Policing. On 5 December, members of the AFP, ACT Policing and ABF conducted an operation including a search warrant at a residence in Phillip, and the arrest of a 23-year-old Canberra man at a location in Lawson. The search warrant resulted in the seizure of an amount of steroids, approximately $3,000 in cash, a small amount of white powder suspected to be an illicit substance and a number of fireworks. The 23-year-old man was conveyed to the ACT Watch House, where he was charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug. Simultaneously, ACT Policing conducted search warrants in relation to the broader criminal

network and seized a commercial quantity (1.3kg) of an amphetamine type substance known as cathinone and a rifle from premises in Wright, ACT. AFP Manager Crime Operations, Commander Justine Gough, said the operation shows that organised crime syndicates will go to great lengths to import drugs into Australia. “We want criminals involved in these operations to know that we are working to disrupt their networks, track down those involved and bring them to account,” Commander Gough said. ABF Acting Assistant Commissioner Enforcement Command, Sharon Huey, said the magnitude of this detection cannot be understated. “We’re becoming used to seeing large seizures of this kind in our major cities, such as Melbourne and Sydney, but to have over 350kg destined for Canberra and surrounding regions is much more uncommon. It’s frightening to think what impact this haul could have had on the community.” ACT Policing Deputy Chief Police Officer Mark Walters said the broader investigation into serious and organised crime is ongoing.

capital hill Power in numbers ustralians have witnessed power in numbers in the past week or so that are joyful for most on the one hand and utterly depressing for everyone on the other. Let’s start with the utterly depressing. Today, the long running Royal Commission into institutional child sexual abuse brings down its final report. By now, most Australians are thoroughly sickened by what the Commission has unearthed. All institutions over the past 50 years or so have indulged in disgraceful dishonesty; cover-ups and disregard for the victims. Gail Furness SC, the counsel assisting says documents were not kept, or they were destroyed … Children were ignored or worse punished. Julia Gillard, in setting up the Commission, was bowing to enormous public pressure. Inquiries

in NSW and Victoria pointed the finger at the Catholic Church as the most significant wrongdoer. Not surprising, considering how big it is; still, 4,444 allegations of abuse since 1980 against priests and brothers are truly shocking. Other churches and State instrumentalities were in the mix, all without honour. They operated on the same principle: the good name of the enterprise had to be protected at all costs. In the case of the churches, this is a complete betrayal of all they say they stand for. There are many, especially Catholics, here in Canberra for example, an organisation called Concerned Catholics is agitating for a complete cultural change in the Church. They want more than new protocols; they want the identified contributing causes, like unaccountable bishops and priests

and compulsory celibacy ditched. What is clear, Gillard’s Royal Commission has put a blowtorch precisely where it was needed – blown away the cant and hypocrisy of those who saw the inquiry as no more than an atheist prime minister attacking the godly. So much for that delusion. We can all only hope that the wilful ignorance and shortsighted obfuscation has had its day. The best consultants offering damage control advice charge big bucks to tell clients truth is the best and safest policy. There, I have given it free of charge. The other numbers that have inspired a happier outcome is of course the passing at the end of last week of the marriage equality bill. Six in 10 Australians gave the parliament no real choice but allow any Australian of whatever sexual attraction to

marry, provided they were adults and not already married. Comedic actor Magda Szubanski, who sat through the excruciating final hours of the debate, was thrilled when 130 MPs crowded on to the affirmative side of the parliament, leaving four on the negative. She quipped she was worried the House might tip over. Standing with Turnbull were many of his internal conservative critics. Though they supported Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce in denying marriage equality, the survey results forced their capitulation. Abbott and Joyce abstained from the vote. The lesson is clear; Turnbull to assert his authority has to win the next election by a huge margin.

political capital There are many ways to find yourself out of work… ast week, my one-time ABC colleague, Genevieve Jacobs, was told her services are no longer required as a presenter on Canberra radio. It came from nowhere, left Jacobs stunned, hurt and angry, and left many colleagues and listeners totally bewildered. It’s a tough pill to swallow, suddenly being told you are no longer wanted by an organisation you have devoted a large slab of your life to. Just one month earlier, I suffered a similar fate. I was told there was no position available for me at ABC Radio in Canberra. My circumstances were a little different to Genevieve’s. As many of you will know, I took leave without pay from the ABC at the end of

2013 when my wife, Samantha Hawley, was appointed the Bangkok correspondent for the ABC. I left fully aware that there were no guarantees I would be offered my position back as breakfast presenter, a position I had held for nine years. The only promise I had was that I would have a job to come back to. As it turns out there was no job for me in Canberra, but fortunately it has turned out okay as I now have a job in Switzerland, where the snow is falling, the trains always run on time, and the chocolate is to die for. Jacobs is exactly one year younger than me. We share the same birthday, and she would always remind me I was the older, more grizzled presenter. I am sure every person reading this column knows someone who has

suddenly found themselves ‘surplus to requirements’. Maybe it happened to you. God only knows the turmoil that has been inflicted on the public service in recent times, as departments are downsized, budgets are trimmed, and people are offered redeployment options that are totally unrealistic or unreasonable. Some people, like myself, land on their feet. But for others, and especially those in the same age bracket as Jacobs and myself, it can be a challenge. But one thing I know about my fellow former presenter, she is as tough as nails. And if she says she is not finished yet, you better believe it. She has built up an enormous amount of goodwill in the

community, and I’m sure will not be out of the workforce for long. But it serves as a reminder to all of us, as Christmas approaches, that nothing is forever, and while we have much cause for celebration during this festive season, things aren’t tickety-boo for everyone. And then we have people who have been given the privilege of being selected by their community to positions of great importance, abusing that privilege, and also suddenly finding themselves out of a job. But it is hard to feel sorry for Labor Senator, Sam Dastyari. You have to wonder at what stage did the experienced political operative feel it was okay to allow himself to be entwined in Chinese political lobbying.

news Gallagher referred to High Court

Fisheries Act review

ACT Labor Senator Katy Gallagher has referred herself to the High Court following questions regarding her citizenship status. Ms Gallagher has previously said that her mother, while born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, was never an Ecuadorian citizen and, “accordingly, I could not obtain Ecuadorian citizenship by descent through my mother”. However, during the pre-election candidate vetting in 2016, the ALP vetting team advised Ms Gallagher, out of caution, that she should fill out and return a RN form – renunciation of citizenship – as she may have had British citizenship by descent from her father. “Despite my clear understanding that I was not a British citizen, I followed the advice of the ALP vetting team and submitted the paperwork to the UK Home Office, together with the required payment on 20 April 2016,” Ms Gallagher said. “I was advised that submitting the declaration of renunciation to the Home Office meant that I

had taken all reasonable steps to renounce any entitlement to British citizenship.” Ms Gallagher said she received confirmation from the UK authorities on 16 August 2016, some 118 days after renouncing any right to British citizenship. Ms Gallagher has stepped aside from her portfolio responsibilities within the shadow cabinet, as well as from the role of Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate until her case is resolved by the High Court. The case is due to go before the High Court for the first time on 19 January 2018.

Bike share guidelines released

Dockless bike share guidelines have been released to ensure private operators working in the ACT are providing a safe, appropriately-regulated service for Canberrans to enjoy. The new guidelines deal specifically with dockless bike share, as the National Capital Authority and the ACT Government continue to work with providers on an appropriate model for Canberra. ACT Minister for Transport and City Services, Meegan Fitzharris said commercial operators have indicated their intent to launch bike share services in coming months in the ACT. “We have been closely monitoring these schemes in other Australian cities and appreciate the significant benefits they offer, such as an affordable way to move around our city, getting people active and encouraging cycle tourism here in Canberra,” Ms Fitzharris said. “However there are also challenges with dockless bike share, including vandalism, clutter and illegal bike dumping. These guidelines will help prevent some of the issues from happening here.” The ACT Government will continue to work with dockless bike share operators prior to their arrival in Canberra. Further regulatory options will be assessed as they are needed. The guidelines are available publicly at transport.act.gov.au

news There will be an increased focus on drink and drug driving, as well as alcohol-fuelled anti-social behaviour during this holiday season. The ACT Government and ACT Policing made the announcement at the launch of the Safe Summer campaign on Friday 8 December which will run until 28 February 2018. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentleman said the annual campaign promotes safe attitudes and behaviours for summer, and aims to decrease anti-social behaviours and illegal activity. The government will once again be offering late-night rapid bus services while the CBR NightCrew – a partnership between the ACT Government, ACT Policing and St John Ambulance ACT – will also play a role in supporting people to get home safely from the CBD. Diana Terry, CEO of St John

Ambulance ACT, said CBR NightCrew is a harm minimisation program in the CBD on Friday and Saturday nights providing first aid, a place to charge phones and sober-up support. Since it started up in December last year, CBR NightCrew has helped 4,378 people get home safely from Civic and reduced the need for police and emergency service attendances in 357 incidents. Ms Terry said generally about 10 volunteers are on a shift at any time providing assistance and they have recently signed off on having some Indigenous volunteers join the program, “making it a more integrated service for the community as a whole”. For summer revellers, ACT Chief Police Officer Justine Saunders said that ACT Policing’s Regional Targeting Team would be out in force. “The team targets anti-social and violent behaviour that places

the safety and security of others at risk, in an effort to provide a safe environment for patrons and staff,” CPO Saunders said. “It is also important individuals recognise the need to take personal responsibility for their own behaviour – know when you have had enough to drink, and when to end the night and head home. Drink responsibly, look after your friends, and get home safely.” ACT Policing will also focus

on impaired driving, with police maintaining a highly visible presence on ACT roads throughout the summer. Alcohol- and drug-impaired driving is the traffic focus for December and one of the five highest contributing factors to fatal vehicle collisions on ACT roads, known as the ‘Fatal Five’. This year, to Thursday 7 December, ACT Policing has apprehended and charged 900 drink driving offenders and 461 drug driving offenders.

news Bail support program trial The ACT Government has partnered with the Aboriginal Legal Service to develop a two-year bail support program to address the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the justice system. As at Monday 11 December, there are a total of 101 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees in the Alexander Maconochie Centre (AMC), 12 women and 89 men, representing almost a quarter of the population. There are 469 detainees in total in the AMC. ACT Minister for Justice and Corrections Shane Rattenbury said the two-year trial will include court-based bail support, outreach bail support and support of bail applications from detainees. Mr Rattenbury said Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees

can often end up caught in the justice system because of not understanding their bail conditions or not being able to meet them because of their own personal circumstances. “The bail support program is very practically designed to intervene in a way that is individual for each Aboriginal person involved in the justice system to help them get bail in the first place but then to meet their bail conditions so they don’t end up back in custody,” he said. The trial will be known as Ngurrambai (Nuh-rambuy), a Ngunnawal word meaning ‘perceive’ (I see, I hear, I understand). Two Ngurrambai support officers will provide support to individuals applying for or granted bail. This support will include the

development of a bail plan unique to each person, with goals set that support a person’s immediate needs and compliance with their bail conditions. Bunja Smith, chair of the Aboriginal Legal Service, said one of the problems when an Aboriginal person fronts up at the court for their first hearing when bail might be considered is that there’s not always the appropriate conditions to allow that magistrate to grant bail. “What we are hoping to achieve by having a case management model is being able to specifically tailor bail conditions that will allow that person to come back into the community, to come back home, and thus be safer and keep them out of the justice system.” Mr Rattenbury has also

Aboriginal Legal Service chairman Bunja Smith said the trial will support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who, in the absence of bail support, would likely be ineligible for bail. Photo supplied.

announced that Winnunga Aboriginal Health and Community Services (AHCS) has commenced enhanced support at the AMC focused on female detainees, and will move to full delivery of standalone health, social and emotional wellbeing services in the AMC in 2018.

news Local drivers reminded to be alert The faults of the Territory’s drivers have come to the fore in the past week, with the AAMI 2017 Crash Index showing the leading cause of accidents in the ACT. For the second year in a row, nose to tail crashes are the number one accident on ACT roads. And in the past year, the rate of nose to tail crashes has increased from 31.4% to 33.49%, which is 2.75% higher than the national average. They also found that the rate of collisions with an animal in ‘the bush capital’ is significantly above the national average. Analysis of AAMI’s claims data, covering more than 8,000 accidents in region from July 2016 to June 2017, showed the five most common types of crashes in Canberra are nose to tail at 33.49%, collision with a stationary object 19.78%, failed to give way 17.73%, collision while reversing 12.21%, and collision with an animal 8.99%. AAMI spokesperson Michael Mills said ACT drivers should pay more attention behind the wheel and keep calm.

“Driver distraction continues to be a leading cause of nose to tail crashes and collisions with stationary objects,” he says. “Most of the time it comes down to people becoming distracted and multi-tasking while driving. Taking your eyes off the road for just a split second can have devastating consequences.” He says Canberra drivers are clearly guilty of tailgating. “This is indicative of the high proportion (a third) of ACT drivers crashing nose to tail.” According to AAMI’s research, in the past year one in five Australian drivers have had a near miss because they were distracted while driving. More than a quarter (28%) of Australian drivers have also been honked at for not moving off when the lights change, and nearly two in five find it hard to resist the temptation to check their phone when they hear a text while driving. With the festive season looming, Canberrans will be hitting the road, with many heading to Canberra’s beach house, the NSW South Coast. In another timely reminder to drive safely,

Canberra drivers have been accused of some questionable driving practices outside the ACT. NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance told the ABC last week that Canberrans enjoy the luxury of very forgiving roads in the Territory, and struggle driving to different conditions. “There aren’t forgiving roads (on the NSW South Coast) and they’re speeding, they’re taking corners too quickly,” he said. “We are trying to rectify roads that are unforgiving, but at the end of the day people also have to take personal responsibility for their actions.” This echoes a warning ACT Minister for Road Safety Shane Rattenbury offered when speaking with Canberra Weekly about road safety in November. “It’s important our younger drivers especially are aware that roads outside of Canberra come with different driving conditions, some that a lot of young drivers won’t have faced in the ACT,” he said. - Denholm Samaras

news Jacobs to leave ABC Genevieve Jacobs is set to farewell her audience after 10 years as part of a major reshuffle taking place at ABC Radio Canberra next year. After joining the ABC back in 2006, Ms Jacobs took on the role of presenting the Mornings show; a role that’s seen her present in a nuanced fashion, in a style tantamount to a woman with her finger on the pulse of Canberra. Ms Jacobs handled many local issues with class and balance, and maintained a well-informed, robust interview style often reflected through her fortnightly Chief Minister Talkback segment. The respected presenter told her listeners on Wednesday 6 December that she wouldn’t be returning in 2018. In the same broadcast, Ms Jacobs made it clear it was not her decision to leave, but that she’d been made

redundant by ABC management. In a statement, Michelle Ainsworth, Editor ABC Canberra, thanked Ms Jacobs for her contribution. “Genevieve has made a terrific contribution to ABC Radio Canberra over the past 11 years. She is a highly respected journalist and broadcaster who has presented a number programs and connected deeply with the community over local stories and issues,” Ms Ainsworth said. From next year, current afternoon Drive host Adam Shirley will take over the Mornings show, which will now incorporate a 30-minute crossover with Breakfast host Dan Bourchier from 8.30am to 9am. Anna Vidot will move down the road from Parliament House, where she has been ABC Rural’s national political reporter, for a change of pace as she begins presenting

news Radford team passes the bar Consultation on suburb improvements Radford’s mock trial team has taken out the hard earned title of New South Wales State Champions. Arguing their way to the top past 163 other schools, Radford was the only ACT team that qualified; it was also the first time in 20 years a Canberra school has made it to the finals. The winning team comprised of eight students - seven girls and one boy. The NSW Mock Trial competition ran across the entire year as students pleaded their cases against each other in a round robin competition. Radford went through undefeated, making the grand final held at Sydney University Moot Court on Thursday 29 November. They presented their cases in front of three magistrates, one of whom is a magistrate in the NSW Children’s Court.

Radford’s Year 11 mock trial team were declared undefeated NSW State Champions at the grand final held recently in Sydney. Photo supplied.

Student Jacinta Quee won the Sydney University Best Advocacy Prize for best on the day; a decision to which there were no objections.

Page and Hughes will become Canberra’s next age friendly suburbs, with local residents invited to help identify path and road safety improvements that will help make walking, cycling and moving around easier for older residents. According to the 2016 Census, of the 3,025 residents registered in Page, 30.3% were aged 60 years and over. Similarly in Hughes, of the 2,990 residents registered, 27% were aged 60 years and over. These suburbs were chosen based on their demographic profile in consultation with peak ageing organisations and will follow improvements delivered in 2016 and 2017 in Monash, Kaleen, Ainslie and Weston. ACT Minister for Transport and City Services Meegan Fitzharris

said the ACT Government wants to “make it easier, convenient and more accessible for older residents to move in and around their community, so we are asking residents where the improvements are needed most, with a focus around access to local shops and services”. More information and an online survey are available at yoursay.act.gov.au and hardcopy surveys will be delivered to residents in both suburbs. Face-to-face consultations are planned to be held with the age and retirement facilities located in each suburb. Consultation sessions are also planned for Friday 15 December 1-2.30pm at Hughes Community Centre and Monday 18 December 1-2.30pm at Ridgecrest Retirement

news $12.8m in research funding to ANU The Australian National University (ANU) has won $12.8 million in the latest round of National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding. ANU will lead a total of 16 grants, with the biggest grant going to Professor Simon Easteal at The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) for his project on Indigenous Genomics. Professor Easteal, Director of the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics, won $1.4 million in funding to establish an Indigenous Australian reference genome, using advanced genome sequencing technologies and data analytics. Professor Emily Banks from the ANU Research School of Population Health, won $1.2 million in funding for a world-first project to apply big data to cancer survivorship; Associate Professor David Nisbet from the ANU Research School of Engineering, won $630,000 in funding for brain research. “We are grateful for this NHMRC research funding that will allow me to modify our existing nanomaterials to reprogram inflammatory brain cells into functioning neurons,” Dr Nisbet said.

“If successful this will be useful for stroke patients as we will have a means to improve the survival, maintenance and growth of existing neurons to encourage repair.” Dr Leonie Quinn from JCSMR won $941,000 in funding for brain cancer research. Other ANU recipients are: Dr Susana Nery, ANU Research School of Population Health ($1.33 million); Associate Professor Elizabeth Gardiner, JCSMR ($435,000) and a second project ($398,000); Associate Professor Philip Batterham, Centre for Mental Health Research ($352,000); Associate Professor Di Yu, JCSMR ($586,688) and a second project ($950,000); Dr Si Ming Man, JCSMR ($625,000) and a second project ($738,000); Associate Professor Anselm Enders, JCSMR ($755,000); Dr Nathalie Dehorter, JCSMR ($528,000); Professor David Tremethick, JCSMR ($1.05 million); Associate Professor Colin Jackson, ANU Research School of Chemistry ($664,000); and Dr Anthea Anantharajah, ANU Medical School, won a Postgraduate Scholarship ($126,000).

Canberra Liberals candidate Candice Burch has been elected to the ACT Legislative Assembly to fill the vacancy from the passing of Steve Doszpot. Twelve candidates contested the casual vacancy in the electorate of Kurrajong, with Ms Burch receiving a majority of preferences after Mr Doszpot’s votes were distributed by computer count on Monday afternoon, 11 December. ACT Legislative Assembly vacancies are filled by conducting a countback of those ballot papers that elected the vacating member.

Mental health impacts mortality New research from the Australian National University (ANU) has found that men who are diagnosed with a mental health condition in their lifetime can expect to live 10.2 years less than those who aren’t, and women 7.3 years. Lead researcher Associate Professor Annette Erlangsen said the study, which analysed medical and hospital data from Denmark over two decades from 1994 to 2014, also found the ‘mortality-gap’ had stayed consistent, despite efforts to address the issue. “It is worrisome that the mortality gap between people with mental disorders and the general population has not decreased over the past decades – despite our efforts to address suicide prevention and other relevant factors.” Associate Professor Vladimir Canudas-Romo of the ANU School of Demography said while suicide, homicide and accidents (such as car crashes) were major contributing factors in the gap, those causes of death had seen some decline over the 20-year period. “Overall, the mortality gap has stayed the same, but the causes of death have changed,” he said. “Cancer and health issues such as diabetes and heart disease are now playing a bigger role.” Associate Professor Canudas-Romo also said it was concerning to see a marked increase in the number of alcohol-related deaths. The research team has called on governments to address the mortality gap by implementing more holistic approaches to dealing with mental illness. The article has been published in The Lancet Psychiatry. 32

ANU Asian Languages advertising moment

Making your voice heard in the Asian Century With Australia’s economic fortunes increasingly linked to Asia, huge opportunities await the next generation of language leaders.

nyone who chooses to learn another language will tell you about the “spark” that ignited their interest. For some, it’s an unforgettable travel experience; for others, it’s a desire to step outside their linguistic comfort zone.

For Amy Shi, it was a high school visit to the Australian National University (ANU) College of Asia & the Pacific. “It was Asia-Pacific Day that completely sold me,” she said of the annual ANU event, which invites ACT high school students on campus to attend lectures and participate in cultural activities. “That day was life-changing for me. I always knew I wanted to study abroad, and hearing an ANU student who studied in Japan talk about their experience reaffirmed that goal.” Three years on, her journey

has come full circle. This week she graduated with her Bachelor of Languages, majoring in Chinese and Japanese. Australia’s geography makes knowledge of Asia and the ability to communicate with its people not only essential for our national wellbeing but valuable for graduates’ careers, according to Associate Professor Shun Ishihara, deputy director of languages at the School of Culture, History and Language at the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific. “Studying an Asian language makes sense for young Australians who are more likely than ever to be engaging with our regional neighbours in business, trade and diplomacy,” he said. “Of course, there is a belief among many people that ‘English will do’. However, having the language skills along with the social, historical and

cultural knowledge necessary to be an effective communicator gives you a key advantage.” In addition to being the country’s top university in the 2018 QS World University Rankings, ANU is ranked first nationally for teaching modern languages. ANU also gives students unique opportunities to accelerate their language learning overseas. "We’re able to open doors to amazing destinations with over 170 partners around the world for students to choose from,” said Jennah Robichaud, deputy manager of student mobility and support services at the College of Asia & the Pacific. An impressive 98% of graduates from the College undertake overseas study as part of their degree. “With programs ranging from two weeks up to a year and guaranteed funding support for every student, there is an opportunity that’s right for everyone,” she added. Last month, ANU announced courses for six Asian languages – Hindi, Sanskrit, Tetum, Thai, Tibetan and Vietnamese – will be available online via Open Universities

Australia starting from semester one 2018. For more information about studying an Asian language at ANU, either on campus or online, visit asiapacific. anu.edu.au/students/undergrad

It’s estimated that the demand for roughly 11,000 jobs in the cyber security field will exist by 2020, and CIT is leading the way nationally by developing a training program tied intricately to industry practice. CIT has also partnered with the Box Hill Institute in Victoria to lead a new strategy to address the shortage of cyber security personnel in Australia by partnering with other vocational education providers across the country. Called the One TAFE approach, it was announced earlier this month and will promote cyber security training by combining national vocational education resources, and hopes to set a benchmark for other industries experiencing skills shortages. “We have a great opportunity to lead the way and work collaboratively to address this skills shortage right here in Canberra,’’ said ACT Minister for Higher Education Meegan Fitzharris.

“Through this partnership, the TAFE network will share training resources, programs and the strengths of teachers and facilities across the country.” Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on Cyber Security, Alistair MacGibbon, has advocated for a single, standardised set of training nationally. “Here in Canberra we have the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to lead this effort,” Mr MacGibbon said. “Ultimately this new approach will ensure students have the opportunity to work and study so they can move into these jobs of the future sooner.” CIT delivers a nationally accredited Graduate Certificate of Networking and Cyber Security that was developed with industry input in 2015. Under the One TAFE partnership, CIT will also deliver the Box Hill Institute Certificate IV in Cyber Security and Advanced Diploma in Cyber Security.

Canberra skater Alix Foley, better known as Freudian Slit, has been selected to play for Team Australia at the Roller Derby World Cup in February 2018. It has been a challenging road to selection for Foley who, in November 2015, was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and prescribed blood thinners for six months which meant contact sport was out of the question. Foley stayed active off-skates during 2016 and eventually she got the medical all-clear to resume playing again just in time to apply for Team Australia tryouts. The 2018 Roller Derby World Cup will be held in Manchester, UK from 1-5 February. The international competition has been held twice before, in 2011 and 2014, and each time Team Australia has placed in the top four (coming home with bronze in 2014).

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

Deeks Health Foods advertising moment

Deeks Health Foods – proudly Canberran

ince launching in 2005, local legend Rob de Castella’s Deeks Health Foods have been providing the Canberra community with a delicious range of healthy grain-free foods. Deeks caters to the various health, dietary and performance needs of their customers, including those with compromised auto immune function, athletes, paleo followers and those who simply enjoy the flavours that abound in their wide selection of food. “The natural self defence chemicals in the grains wheat, rice and corn all have a capacity to undermine people’s autoimmune

function,” Rob explains. “The high protein and the nutritional profile of our products provide a performance benefit too for people wanting more energy or improved concentration.” The delicious Deeks products are quinoa-based, giving them a distinct point of difference over other gluten-free foods available. “Almost all the other gluten-free products in the supermarket will use rice or corn flour, which are both considered cheap filler grains … we go 100% grain-free,” he says. In developing grain-free bread, Rob set out on a pioneering culinary adventure with his Deeks co-founder Bill Giles, a clinical biologist, who’d long been helping his ill clients by

Founded by local legend Rob de Castella, Deeks Health Foods is the world leader in grain-free baked goods.

encouraging them to go grain-free. “We’re really world leading in that sense,” Rob says. “When we started we didn’t even know if it was possible to produce breads and bakery products that were grain-free. “Eventually we came up with a pretty innovative set of procedures and recipes and built up a great following throughout the Canberra region and now around the country.” It’s the support of their healthconscious Canberra following that has allowed Deeks Health Foods to

expand their product offerings. From the original quinoa loaf to sweet and savoury breads, savoury pies and sausage rolls, Deeks have now moved into dry goods like pasta, and for Christmas, they’ve created a range of treats perfect for the festive season. “Plum puddings, shortbreads, gingerbread men and a whole range so people can enjoy Christmas,” Rob says.

Twins’ comic experiences make TV

Identical twins and comedic duo Benjamin and James Stevenson have come a long way from their beginnings acting out their favourite comedic routines together as children. They put their on-stage chemistry down to that shared early love for comedy. “We have the advantage of being brothers, we had 10-15 years every theatrical duo needs to get in sync with each other,” James says. The Canberra born and raised twins make up The Stevenson Experience, and the musical comedy act has gone from strength to strength since fi rst performing some 11 years ago. With a lot of experience behind them, they decided to create an hour-long DVD that pulls together a few of their live performances. “We’d been touring comedy and fringe festivals for 10 years and we wanted to get our stuff down in one place for us really,” Benjamin says.

With 11 years’ worth of experience on stage together, The Stevenson Experience have created a DVD that pulls together a few of their live performances. Photo Monica Pronk.

“It was a great success … then our manager Artie gave it to Channel 10; they liked it and they’re putting it to air.” They estimate it was an 18-month process; and they did everything themselves, the fi nal product being the result of “a ground-level effort”. It was recorded and compiled at the end of 2016, after touring every major festival in Australia and recording their fi nal show of the year in Sydney. “The hour we locked down is a compilation of about three years, and we’ve included the best bits of those performances,” James says. And for that hour they’re on stage they hit it with intensity; the twins describe their style as high energy musical comedians. “Our show is an hour of a barrage of as many jokes as we can squeeze in, with as many guitar riffs and piano chords too.” They say their comedy is most often compared to Bo Burnam, Tripod or Flight of the Conchords. “We do good relatable standup, and make people laugh consistently through music.” They also say they have a bit of Lano and Woodley about them. “We have a simmering sibling rivalry under everything we do … but everything we do is underlined by pure fun.” Having recently moved to Sydney to extend their career opportunities, Benjamin and James both reflect on Canberra as a great place to foster their comedic stylings. They started out by entering a few youth competitions run by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

“We entered the class clowns competition while still at school and got through to the fi nals twice, then we did Raw Comedy in 2009 and from there we were hooked,” James says. They say the Canberra comedy scene was quite small when they started out. “If we wanted to do a gig we had to create it,” Benjamin says. “We were very into running a room and creating a space to get up.” James says that element of it was great because it forced them to make new material as they had a small crowd of regulars. “Canberra audiences are very smart and switched on, they consistently show up and really appreciate it when you come to them as performers with new material. They’re not going to laugh at 20 minutes of toilet humour,” he says. They both consider the Canberra scene a really good place to experiment and a comfortable place to fi nd your voice. And their involvement has been profound in building it up to its present healthy state; James and Benjamin helped found the Canberra Comedy Festival (CCF) and remain on the festival’s board. “Now there’s a comedy festival and a bunch of rooms ... it’s grown a lot and it really helped us,” Benjamin says. Looking ahead, The Stevenson Experience has their seventh solo show in the pipeline as they’re about to announce their national festival tour with stops in London and Edinburgh. “We’ve just got to write the show now, it’ll be a big year,” James says. The Stevenson Experience’s comedy special will air on Channel 11, Wednesday 20 December 9.30pm. They will also distribute it to fans who contact them online at stevensonexperience.com

Canberra dancer finds Deepspace equally rich field of research.” Deepspace channels that influence as it looks at both art and science as methods of inquiry into the unknown, examining the processes we use to further our understandings of the world around us. “It’s not conventional … the audience is standing and moving around like in a gallery,” he says. “It’ll be unique because people will get to come onto the stage of The Playhouse. “It’s triggering different questions and sensitivities around the body in relation to the kind of things that inspired me on the ship.” Now based predominantly in Melbourne, Batchelor says he loves performing in Canberra. “I have a history here, and this work is quite an important one for me … to present it at home before Christmas is super nice because it’s such a friendly and familiar audience.” James Batchelor will perform Deepspace at The Playhouse on 23 December.

The story of how acclaimed Canberra dancer and choreographer James Batchelor’s work Deepspace came to be is as curious and intriguing as his description of it. Deepspace is the result of an artist-inresidence program Batchelor was a part of at the beginning of 2016 that saw him join a new state-of-the-art Australian Antarctic research ship, the RV Investigator, for 58 days. “It was a lot bigger than the old ship … the chief scientist of the expedition was quite forward thinking and said ‘why not get artists to be a part of this’,” Batchelor says. He found the experience very inspiring. “It was a completely unknown environment for me … the patience required and the time I had to think about the research the scientists were doing,” Batchelor says. “It was also very challenging, it was intense and we didn’t leave the ship … it was very confined and isolated.” He found the motion of the ocean and his unconventional workspace got him thinking outside the box. “As a dancer, working with my body was an

Book talk

This week, Michael Popple reviews three enjoyable reading gifts for Christmas. From the Stars Above by Peter Watt Macmillan, $29.99

For over 100 years of Australian history, the Duffy and Macintosh families have been in confl ict. As Patrick Duffy faces communists in Malay, Michael Macintosh seeks to escape his controlling mother by becoming a mercenary. While the next generation of both families race towards the war in Vietnam, the evil Sarah Macintosh must fi nally face her family’s curse. This is the fi nal book in Watt’s popular

Frontier series, and provides an exciting conclusion to the story and protagonists he created. New readers will also enjoy the interesting characters, evocative historical coverage and the focus on the more obscure confl icts of the 20th century.

NK3 by Michael Tolkin Grove Press, $29.99

The future world has been devastated by NK3, a virus that deletes human identity and memory. Four years on, Los Angeles is controlled by the Verified, those whose memories have been partially restored and who rule over the city’s Drifters, Shamblers and Battle Bangers. As several strangers converge on the city, its fragile peace, however, may be at an end. This is an intriguing book that examines what role a person’s memories play in their humanity. Tolkin creates a fascinating new Los Angeles and fi lls it with a range of colourful characters. Recommended for those looking for an unusual, thoughtprovoking adventure.

The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso Orbit, $19.99

When Lady Amalia Cornaro is accidently bonded to the rebellious fi re warlock Zaira, she fi nds herself in control of the most powerful weapons in the Raverran Empire. Conscripted in the Empire’s military, Amalia and Zaira must overcome their many differences to avert a rebellion, before they are ordered to unleash Zaira’s power and destroy an entire city. First time author Caruso has created an addictive and exciting novel that takes the elements of a ‘mismatched buddy cop story’ and inserts them into a detailed and compelling fantasy world. One of the most outstanding fantasy debuts of the year.

Now showing The Disaster Artist (M) In an acting class in San Francisco circa 1998, 19-year-old aspiring actor Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) is struck by the extremely odd, but fearless performance of fellow student, the mysterious Tommy Wiseau (James Franco). After the class, the duo strike up a friendship based on a shared dream to move to Hollywood and become American movie stars. The film is a biographical comedy-drama exploring the origins and making of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. Infamous for its terribleness, The Room now enjoys ‘midnight’ screenings with plenty of audience participation which celebrates its horrendous acting, dialogue, plot, incomprehensible use of CGI, direction and so on. The Disaster Artist goes someway to explaining why and how this disaster was made. Like Tommy Wiseau, director James Franco also leads, giving his characterisation of Tommy surprising depth. James’s Tommy is fearless in his acting, however he is oblivious to his limitations. Tommy’s naïve and obsessive pursuit of becoming an American movie star attracts fellow actor Greg, connecting the two as partners on their way to achieve the impossible. While Greg is aware of his friend’s incompetence, he is loyal until the end. The end of course is the production of The Room, a last ditch effort for Tommy to finally star in an American movie, albeit one that is written, produced and directed by and starring him. Verdict: A surprisingly compelling and affecting movie. While it works on its own, it is also an excellent companion piece to The Room. 4 stars. - Luke McWilliams

VALID UNTIL 22 DECEMBER 2017

With the end of 2017 now in sight are you racing to the finish or limping across the line? At busy and stressful times like the end of the year can be, it’s important to remember self-care is an essential requirement, not an indulgence. Typically, the busier we are, the more likely it is that self-care gets squeezed out of the schedule when actually the opposite is what’s called for. The more stressed you are, the more it feels like you can’t make time for your gym class, morning meditation or cup of tea on the balcony, the more tenacious you need to be about protecting your ‘me time’. There’s a saying about meditation, which applies to any kind of self-care, that for most people 20 minutes a day is a good time to aim for, except if you’re really busy and pressed for time, in which case you need to do 30 minutes twice a day!

WITH WESLEY SMITH DIRECTOR, LIVE WELL SPA & WELLNESS CENTRE MANUKA livewellnaturally.com.au meditatewithwes.com

When I’m working with a client who is particularly affected by stress, we will always explore how they can tweak their lifestyle to better support the treatment goals. Left to their own devices, I know my really stressed clients will probably forget about self-care. What I find works well is to make sure whatever we settle on as a self-care task is something definite that gets booked and scheduled. One wellness trend I’d like to see emerge in 2018 is the reclaiming of self-care as a conscious and healthy choice. The better your look after yourself, the better you’re able to support and look after those around you.

That summer feeling To help continue the summer feeling and leave its fresh scents lingering beyond the season, Evodia fragrance, bath and body care has launched seven limitededition gift sets. The Evodia gift sets pay tribute to the Australian destinations that inspired their creation. With prices starting from $14.95, your options for gifting and personal use are as endless as your summer plans. Evodia fragrance, bath and body care products are proudly Australian made and owned, and are friendly to skin and the environment. The gift sets join the full Evodia range, available at selected Myer stores and pharmacies nationally and online at evodia.com.au

All wrapped up

You’ve found the perfect gift – now it’s time to make sure it’s beautifully presented. We’ve sourced expert tips to take your wrapping game to the next level. According to Jennifer Nolch, Hallmark Australia marketing director, essential supplies for gift wrapping include scissors, tape, tissue paper, gift wrap or a gift bag. The fi nishing touch of a ribbon, yarn or decorative tape makes it extra special. The team at Barama, who specialise in gift packaging and wrapping, also suggest: • Use good quality paper – cheap wrap not only tears easily, it can be so thin it reveals the gift within. • Double sided ribbon makes it much easier to achieve a professional looking result than if the ribbon only has one good side.

A boxed present is typically easier to wrap but what about more unusual shaped gifts? Jennifer Nolch offers this step-by-step guide: Gift tags 12 pack: Joy $12.95 Kikki.K

Hallmark classic Christmas gift bag $6 large Coles, Kmart, Target, NewsXpress, selected newsagencies

Prepare all your materials: the gift, gift wrap, scissors, tape, tissue paper, ribbons and gift tags. Double sided tape gives a neater fi nish. Stack the items from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top to create a balanced shape. Take an extra piece of tissue, open it, twist the middle and place at the top of the gift. This will stick out of the top to add fullness and flair. Place your gift wrap on the bench and position your gift in the middle. Make sure you allow

enough wrapping paper to cover the gift and allow extra wrap to form the flared top, before cutting. Don’t be afraid to allow yourself more gift wrap than you need as you can trim any excess afterwards. Create neat folds as you bring the gift wrap up to meet at the top. Secure the gift wrap at the top of the gift with tape and tie with a ribbon. Now the fun part – adorning your gift with beautiful decorations like any extra ribbons, bows, gift tags or accessories! - Allison Turnbull

Christmas colour trends While traditional Christmas gift wrap colours of red, green and gold are popular every year, the team at Barama says shoppers are becoming more adventurous in their colour palettes. This year’s top trends include: Australiana: Rather than northern hemisphere imagery of snowmen and winter, think sandy coastlines and natural bushland – ideas that reflect an Aussie Christmas in the sun. Choose

neutral tones featuring whites, greys and browns with touches of green, and metallics to lift this calming palette to a festive level. Luxe navy: Black and gold always looks expensive and stylish but sometimes it’s a little too heavy – that’s where navy comes in. Pair navy with silver, gold or copper for some Christmas bling. Modern denim: Denim shades have been everywhere in homewares and interior

styling in 2017, with the Dulux colour of the year, Denim Drift, a key influence. This has trickled down to wrapping paper, where denim creates a contemporary look when coupled with silvers and reds. Metallics: Metallics are back bigger and better than ever. They add festive cheer to any colour palette and it’s the one time of the year where shiny is not seen as gaudy.

Top wrapping tips from Hallmark • Don’t ditch the card this Christmas. A 2017 Hallmark Australia research study conducted by Omnipoll revealed that 85% of people agree that a card with a personalised handwritten message makes them feel special. • Create consistency by choosing decorations that match and complement your theme. • Bring your present to life by adding some greenery or flowers from the garden. • Double sided tape provides a neater finish. • When wrapping fragile gifts like ceramic bowls, plates and mugs, wrap each individual item in tissue paper to protect them.

What makes us unique

The laws of nature

A panic in the emoji room turns into a heart-warming story of what it means to be different. Directed by Tony Leondis, The Emoji Movie (G) features a starstudded cast including the voices of the hilarious James Corden, Anna Faris, Maya Rudolph, Patrick Stewart and many more. The Emoji Movie is a fun and thought-provoking fi lm about embracing what makes us unique. It arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital from 13 December – just in time for Christmas!

Thanks to Icon Film Distribution and the release of Wind River (MA 15+) on Digital, DVD and Blu-Ray from 13 December, you could win one of three DVD prize packs with a copy of the fi lm. Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) is a local game tracker who stumbles upon the body of a murdered teenage girl in the desolate wilderness of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Still trying to come to terms with the death of his own daughter, Cory is forced to confront his past. When rookie FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) is assigned to the case, she enlists Cory’s help as they venture deep into a world ravaged by violence and the elements. Wind River is a stark look at life on the edge of an imposing wilderness, where the rule of law is eclipsed by the laws of nature.

Pollination, the current exhibition in The Calyx, is a stunning showcase of ‘the role colour plays in one of the plant world’s greatest acts’. For more: rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au

Chenopodium album, commonly known as fat hen or wild spinach, is a warm season annual weed, and also a human super food. Fat hen is high in vitamin C, calcium, anti-oxidants, and protein, amongst others. It is fast growing and tolerates hot, dry conditions, but as with all herbs and leafy greens, young lush growth has a far superior flavour. Keep an eye out for fat hen growing in disturbed sites, rural areas and the veggie patch (be mindful of contamination in some locations, however). Both the fresh young foliage and seeds of fat hen are not only nutritious but also full of flavour – not dissimilar to spinach and with a nutty overtone. Lightly fried in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice springs to mind, or perhaps steamed and used as the base ingredient for a moreish dip with crusty bread. Really, fat hen can be used wherever spinach traditionally is. Fat hen contains oxalic acid, so is best served cooked and soaked in cold water for 15 minutes beforehand. Medicinally, fat hen has been utilised as an anti-parasitic against intestinal worms, and also as an anti-inflammatory.

Capital Airport Group’s generous donation and affordable housing in the ACT, but future generations of property owners have the opportunity to help those less fortunate,” says The Big Issue CEO, Steven Persson. In addition to donating 0.1% of all land sales, Capital Airport Group are embedding Homes for Homes in the Title for every property in the suburb, meaning homeowners can choose to donate a tax deductible 0.1% of the sale price to Homes for Homes if they sell their home in future. “Homelessness is a chronic problem for Australia and for all societies,” says Capital Airport Group Managing Director, Stephen Byron. “It’s a problem that needs money to solve it. We are very pleased to play our part noting that all funds raised from Homes for Homes in Canberra will be put to work in this community.”

Work on $300 million development officially commences Work has commenced on the $300 million state of the art Constitution Avenue precinct in City East. Delivered by Capital Property Group, the mixed-use development will see the current car park site adjacent to the Legislative Assembly transformed into Canberra’s newest city precinct to home to the new ACT Government office building, commercial office space, a boutique hotel, gym and childcare centre, along with street level cafes, eateries and landscaped plazas. The development is set to transform the area, provide a major economic boost for the Territory and create hundreds of jobs during the construction phase. The new precinct joins a number of Government and private projects currently underway in the CBD, from new housing developments in East Row and the renewal of the ABC flats to the light rail project. See act.gov.au/cbdrenewal for more information.

Capital Airport Group has donated $126,103 to The Big Issue’s Homes for Homes initiative after settling the sale of more than 275 blocks of land in Denman Prospect. When the company bought Denman Prospect from the ACT Government in 2015, Capital Airport Group committed to donating 0.1% of the sale price of each property sold in the suburb to the initiative to help address the shortage of social and affordable housing in the ACT. The first entire suburb in Australia to commit to the Home for Homes initiative, Capital Airport Group anticipates that more than $1.5 million will go towards the initiative from Denman Prospect over seven years. “We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of Capital Airport Group and the ACT Government – not only will the upfront donation from Capital Airport Group support the development of social

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the four-bedroom home features 2.7m ceilings and doubleglazed windows throughout, while the enormous living areas seamlessly open out to a sprawling alfresco area through dramatic glass sliding doors. Teeming with Smeg appliances, the well-appointed kitchen boasts a stone-topped island bench, a large walk-in pantry conveniently equipped with additional bench tops, and, like the rest of the home, features Italian porcelain

tiling throughout. All three bedrooms are spacious, comfortable and feature built-in wardrobes, while the additional grand master suite also includes an expansive walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and glass sliding doors which open out onto a courtyard appropriately wired for a future spa. Modern conveniences throughout the home such as the slow combustion Invicta cast-iron wood heater and Daikin ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system, which can be controlled from anywhere via the internet or smartphone, ensures the temperatures remain perfect all year long. Ideally located, the property is within walking distance to Farrer shops and Farrer Primary School, with Woden Town Centre, Southlands Shopping Centre and Canberra Hospital all simply a stone’s throw away.

Hello Canberra property investors,

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Paul Kerin...

Award winning Property Managers with over 20 years experience.

“Would you like your property managed professionally and personally? Well give me a call, better still have a read of what some of my clients say” I wanted to thank you and all your team for your management of my property while it was rented. You found me fabulous tenants who left the place in immaculate condition, managed all the daily issues and kept me informed. I hope we get a chance to work together again in the future, but until then i will definitely recommend you to everyone i know in Canberra. Overall, I have found En Vogue to be very reactive to satisfying their client’s needs and for this reason, we have remained a client of En Vogue for many years. They simply aren’t “Yes men” and will provide advice when times are good (and bad) for property owners. I’ve been with En Vogue Property Management for many years and have always had exceptional service from Paul and his team.

No matter who we are dealing with in the En Vogue team, we receive the same professional, respectful, and pro-active treatment. They keep us informed of legal requirements and other issues as they arise, and always do what they say they will without us needing to follow-up. We deal with many property managers across multiple states, but Paul and the En Vogue team are the only property managers we recommend to others. We hope to continue working with them for a very long time. Paul Kerin and his team at En Vogue Property Management are the best property managers we have had the pleasure of working with over our last 15 years of investing. Paul has looked after our three Canberra properties since we discovered him seven years ago.

Being a dedicated property management organisation En Vogue can concentrate on what matters most to landlords – reliable tenants, well maintained properties and good return on investment. A number of factors set Paul apart from other property managers. Not only does he find good tenants, even in a tight market, but the good rapport he establishes with tenants means that they stay. This is gold. Paul has always managed my properties as if they were his own – this means that they are regularly inspected and well maintained. His advice has always been first class.

Contact Paul to find out why his clients rave about him. 61616516 | 0409585516 | paul@envogue.com.au Level 1/55 Woolley street, Dickson

PICK OF THE WEEK Full Metal Jacket Friday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+ (1987) Full Metal Jacket presents war as a phenomenon. It’s a ﬁlm of two halves, devoid of politics and strategy, that follows the “dehumanising” of soldiers, ﬁrst at boot camp, then in combat in Vietnam. R. Lee Ermey (a former drill sergeant in real life) is explosive as Sgt Hartman, Vincent D’Onofrio is haunting as the excessively berated Private “Pyle”, and Matthew Modine (pictured) offers a fascinating portrayal as Private “Joker”, whose ironic, smart-alec disposition underpins the madness.

Friday

Boy

American Sniper Sunday, NINE, 10pm, MA15+ (2014) This powerful Hollywood war flick, based on the true story of Chris Kyle, is directed by Clint Eastwood’s sure hand and has a gripping performance from a beefed-up Bradley Cooper (pictured) as the most lethal sniper in US military history. It’s serious and intense as it explores the story of the Navy SEAL, whose 160 confirmed kills over four tours in Iraq earns him the nickname “Legend” on the battlefield. But his skill comes at a high cost – his reputation grows behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head.

Monday, SBS VLND, 11.30pm, M (2010) In 1984, little boys everywhere were devotees of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and Boy (James Rolleston, pictured), a lovable 11-year old living in a small New Zealand town, is no exception. Boy, who lives with his grandmother, little brother Rocky and an assortment of abandoned cousins, is also crazy about his absent dad, who is imagined in turn as a war hero, a samurai and a deep-sea diver. But when Boy’s father Alamein (writer and director Taika Waititi) comes home after a stint in jail, his son must confront the reality of who his father is: a petty criminal with visions of grandeur.

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

The New Moon on the 18th sees you feeling festive. As far as you are concerned, you’re all set to open a bottle of wine and begin celebrating. Joint finances may be a concern but rather than allowing it to escalate, do your best to defuse the situation.

If your social circle has dwindled recently, use the next four weeks as an opportunity to make some new friends The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time to socialise with your colleagues or to attend a work-related Christmas party.

This month you will be putting a lot of energy into intimate relationships. The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time for connecting with your neighbours and relatives you don’t always get to see. Loved ones at a distance will be keen to share their exciting news with you.

With Saturn in Capricorn, you’ll wish to be productive at work and eager to create a convivial and pleasant atmosphere. The New Moon on the 18th is a good day for listening to someone’s advice or wisdom, especially if discussing something connected with health and fitness.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21

LEO: JUL 23 - AUG 23

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

The New Moon on the 18th sees you wanting everyone around you to have a good time and you’ll bend over backwards to ensure that happens. You need to stand up for yourself in a discussion where you don’t agree with what someone says. But don’t take it personally.

The New Moon on the 18th makes you much more sociable and it is a marvellous time to make amends if you have fallen out with a friend or loved one recently. Children will be fun to be around as they will have the ability to make you laugh.

Mars in Scorpio indicates that you will be very concerned about your one to one relationships. The New Moon on the 18th indicates a fresh start involving health and financial affairs. This is the ideal time in which to find a bargain whilst shopping.

If you’ve been thinking about making some changes to your home, this month is the perfect time to put them into place. The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time to enjoy the company of your children or younger people or to embark on something creative.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20

The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time for romance and you are eager to kiss and make up. Be wary of confiding in someone just because they are older or more influential; if you use your discrimination they will be very helpful and supportive.

The more positive your attitude throughout this month, the better the results will be. The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time to get cracking and to channel all your emotional energy into decorating your home and organising your festive celebrations.

The New Moon on the 18th indicates that it’s time to voice your opinions without dominating the conversation and to have a think about your social circle and to make some changes. You might tire of someone’s funny little ways, which you decide are no laughing matter.

Mars is in Scorpio and you’ll be reconnecting with your past, but make sure you’re not being overly sentimental and unrealistic. The New Moon on the 18th is the ideal time to make some changes at home, just be certain to discuss them with your loved ones first.

My favourite things

GINGERBREAD Gingerbread is my weakness. I love making it, baking it, eating it and sharing it. My traditional homemade gingerbread recipe is the best.

ELVES These hard working little people might be small in size but they have big personalities and so much energy. They are treasures, each and every one.

SANTA Santa is the person I adore most in all the world. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassionate, honest and intelligent with a heart of gold and a jolly sense of humour.

ROAD TRIPS

Mrs Claus Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workshop director

Also known as Mary Christmas, Jessica was a school teacher when she met young Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus. Since marrying Santa and moving to the North Pole, Mrs Claus has devoted her life to helping Santa manage the workshop and care for the elves and reindeer. She says the weeks leading up the Christmas are the busiest time of the year but all the effort is worth it come Christmas night when Santa returns after his annual journey around the world and they relax over a ginger beer and a quiet meal by the fire. 138

What kind of motorbike does Santa ride? A Holly Davidson. Ho! Ho! Ho! After Christmas, Santa and I love to head south to warmer climes and hit the road on our Harleys, travelling incognito. The roads near Canberra offer spectacular scenery and all those roundabouts are fun to ride around.

WHALES Whenever I get the chance, I take the sleigh or snowmobile down to the ocean near our home and watch the whales swimming.
