This week...

From the editor Once a year, most of the CW team – full- and part-timers, casual employees and contributors – gather at our annual Xmas party. It’s a time to let our hair down a tad, enjoy one another’s company outside of work, laugh at the boss’s jokes, and reflect on the ebbs and flows of the past year. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to CW’s ongoing mission to ‘Make print media great again’ – our team, our advertisers and you, dear readers, for your support.

Also once a year, we present our ‘swimsuit edition’, this time featuring the dazzling Samantha from Devojka Models.

Despite dark stormy weather the day of the shoot, kudos to Samantha, her hair & beauty team (Meki Hair, Steph Church Makeup Artist and Faux Tanning Studio) and our intrepid CW team (Fiona, Libby, Kerrie and Shannon) for capturing the essence of summer sunshine even as the rain tumbled down. We hope you enjoy the images and looks as much as we enjoy bringing them to you. Flip to The Look (page 60) for more.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include fun at the CW Xmas bash, catchups with distant relatives, closer relatives and friends, a delicious (complimentary) dinner at Nosh and daily walks in Canberra’s beautiful ‘burbs. Stay safe over the festive season. See you next year.

news Tips to stay safe over the summer holidays

ACT Parks and Conservation has urged Canberrans to be wary when out bushwalking in Canberra’s parks and reserves this summer. File image.

As the festive season gets into full swing, Canberrans are being urged to consider their safety and the safety of others over the holiday period.

“It’s a great time of year to get out and explore nature, but with soaring temperatures this summer, it’s best to be fully prepared when you’re taking a refreshing dip in our local rivers or out hiking in one of our reserves,” Director ACT Parks and Conservation, Daniel Iglesias said.

ACT Parks and Conservation and ACT Policing have provided the

following simple tips for swimming this summer: • Check the conditions: Beware of fast flowing water, submerged objects and always check the water depth before entering.

• Signal for help: If you get into trouble, stay calm and signal for help. Try floating on your back and let the current take you to shore.

• Swim with a buddy: Not only is it more fun swimming with a friend, but having someone else around while swimming can provide help

in sticky situations.

• Don’t drink and swim: Stay out of the water if you have alcohol in your system – it’s not worth the risk.

And some simple tips for bushwalking: • Plan your walk: Make sure you’re aware of how hard the walk is.

If you’re comfortable with what to expect then it won’t throw any challenging surprises. Always check the weather forecast beforehand.

• Tell somebody: Let someone know where you’re headed and when you’re expected to return. If you get lost or hurt yourself, they will be able to raise the alarm.

• Stay on track: For your own safety, stick to the signposted tracks. This is to also protect the landscape and native animals who don’t like to be disturbed.

• Bring the essentials: A mobile phone is handy, but if you’re headed remotely consider taking a locator beacon. The most important thing to bring is plenty of water.

• Dress to the conditions: Always wear closed toe footwear and wear appropriate clothing. A waterproof

jacket is lightweight and often comes in handy.

The ACT Government has also teamed up with ACT Policing to ensure Canberrans make “smart choices” about alcohol, drug use and road safety over summer. ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Mick Gentleman, and Chief Police Officer for the ACT, Ray Johnson, have launched the 2018-19 ‘Safe Summer’ campaign.

The campaign aims to ensure roads, streets and venues are safe for every one, with ACT Policing continuing to work 24 hours a day over the summer period. Officers will be patrolling licensed premises and entertainment precincts, and on Canberra’s roads, targeting alcohol and drug related incidents, anti-social behaviour and impaired driving.

In addition to patrolling licensed premises, police will be maintaining “a highly visible presence” on Canberra’s roads throughout the campaign, targeting speeding, reckless driving and driving under the influence.

Injecting room and more pill testing on the cards The ACT Government’s framework toward handling drug, alcohol and tobacco-related issues in the Territory has been unveiled after community consultation held earlier this year.

The newly released ACT Drug Strategy Action Plan 2018-21 comprises 43 measures, some noteworthy items include: exploring “further opportunities to expand on pill testing at events in the ACT”; and “investigating the feasibility, need, effectiveness and appropriateness of establishing a medically supervised drug consumption facility (supervised injecting facility) in the ACT”.

A Drug Strategy Action Plan 2018-21 draft, released for public consultation in June this year, 12

contained measures such as raising the legal age of smoking, banning smoking in correctional facilities, and setting a minimum price per standard drink. All of these were removed from the final plan.

ACT Minister for Health Megan Fitzharris said the plan is aligned to the Federal Government’s National Drug Strategy 20172026 and “aims to build safe, healthy and resilient communities through preventing and minimising alcohol, tobacco and other drug-related health, social, cultural and economic harms among individuals, families and communities”.

“The ACT Government will take a ‘harm minimisation’ approach,

focusing on demand reduction, supply reduction and harm reduction.

“This threefold approach will look to prevent uptake and delay in first use, reduce harmful use and support people to recover; restrict availability and access to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs to prevent and reduce problems; and encourage safer behaviours and reduce preventable risk factors,” Minister Fitzharris said.

The plan outlines reducing excessive single-occasion and lifetime alcohol consumption, minimising uptake of smoking and exposure to second-hand smoking, providing better access to prevention, education and testing of HIV and hepatitis, and

controlling the availability of pharmaceuticals, as just some of the key objectives upon which it will be measured over the next three years.

An Advisory Group with broad representation will also be set up to help guide the implementation and evaluation of the ACT Action Plan.

The Advisory Group will include representatives from across ACT Government, relevant non-government peak bodies, community organisations and consumer organisations.

The Advisory Group will also play a critical role in identifying emerging drug use patterns and informing future priority actions.

capital hill ‘A beautiful set of numbers’ The horror year for the Federal Government – how else could you describe the consignment of yet another prime minister to the dust bin – ended with “a beautiful set of numbers”.

Paul Keating, as Treasurer in 1989, used the phrase to describe the December 1989 national accounts. The current Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, restrained himself from using the phrase when he released the latest Budget update. Maybe he remembered that a few months later, the economy slid into recession. The point being, all updates, like budgets themselves, are best guesses that can go horribly wrong or beautifully right.

Scott Morrison’s last Budget as Treasurer in May got its key forecasts wrong, but not horribly wrong – “wonderfully” wrong. The predicted Budget deficit for this financial year has more than halved and the figures for the next financial year are projected to be in surplus. The surplus could be much bigger, but, facing what looks to be an extremely difficult election next year, the Government is spending a lot of its unforeseen revenue windfall.

Economist Chris Richardson says the huge

improvement in the Government’s position is courtesy of China. It bought more of our iron ore and coal at higher prices than we bargained for and it can just as easily buy less in the years ahead. Richardson says the Treasury projects the good news to last for the next four years; the Government goes further and is flagging surpluses for the next 10 years. Just like in 2010, the Liberals promised a Budget surplus every year in government and on its own admission won’t achieve one till next year. We won’t know if they will deliver it until next September – four months after the foreshadowed May election.

Look out for more income tax cuts as a major sweetener for voters pre-election. The Budget update has a huge kitty of $10 billion for “unannounced measures”. Another $1.9 billion has been squirrelled away for spending in marginal seats.

No one can blame a government – any government – claiming credit for what is in large part good luck, but this one should not be surprised if many in the electorate aren’t impressed. The review has revised down wages

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

and household spending while at the same time it has revised up the Government’s own income.

Stagnating wages have seen families digging into their savings or simply closing their wallets as their circumstances are nowhere near as terrific as the government is now trumpeting about itself.

This must go a long way to explain why the opinion polls have been heralding an election wipe-out for the Coalition. The published polls average has the gap a whopping 9 points in Labor’s favour; a situation that has become entrenched since Scott Morrison replaced Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister back in August.

2019 is going to be a tough one for the Government; I am hoping Canberra Weekly readers enjoy a good summer break to cope with what is shaping as an unedifying political struggle.

news Rail upgrade on track The NSW Government has announced they will be investing money in developing a ‘fast rail corridor’ between Sydney, Goulburn and Canberra if they are to win the 2019 NSW election.

The project’s NSW funding will come in the form of a $4.6 million allocation from their Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund to investigate four routes, all within 300 km of Sydney.

NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro said they are committed to reducing travel time by 2023.

“We have already identified parts of the corridor that need upgrading and certain bends that slow everything down.

“We will see this investment quite early, resulting in the realignment of the track between Canberra to Sydney, and speeds of up to 200km per hour and less than

three hours’ travel time between Sydney and Canberra,” he said.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said his Government has been “working closely with our NSW counterparts over the past two years on improvements to the service”, having jointly bid for federal funding for the project.

“Earlier this year, the ACT Government committed up to $5 million in matched funding for business case development on the project, which was matched by NSW Labor.”

Mr Barr said Government surveys showed 57% of respondents would be more likely to travel via train between Canberra and Sydney if the travel time was between two to three hours.

“With both major parties in NSW making funding

Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government will fund the design and the work needed to bring the project to a shovel ready stage.

“The NSW Government is prepared to go this alone if need be. We are committed to this and that is the exciting part of this next period,” he said.

news Light rail fares in line with buses Ticket prices for the light rail service, due to begin in 2019, have been released. Canberrans travelling on bus or light rail will pay the same fare, in a move designed to encourage people to make use of both forms of transport.

“With the introduction of Light Rail, MyWay and cash light rail fares are set at the same level as bus fares – customers will pay the same fare whether they are catching a bus or taking light rail,” said Executive Director for Transport Canberra Operations, Judith Sturman.

“There is no additional cost for customers who change buses or use both a bus and light rail as part of the same journey, as transfers are free within 90 minutes.

“These arrangements deliver on the Government’s commitment to ensure that Canberrans can use one ticket and pay one fare to use public

transport, regardless of whether they are using buses, light rail or both,” Ms Sturman said.

MyWay and cash fares have risen by up to 2.5%, with the concession single cash fare to increase by 4.2%, from $2.40 to $2.50.

“Modest annual changes to our fares reflect the fact that salary, fleet, fuel and other costs of delivering our services increases with inflation over time,” she said.

“I encourage Canberrans to consider using MyWay cards, as discounts apply to cardholders as well as monthly and daily fare caps.”

Ms Sturman said the ACT Government was making numerous investments and improvements to the public transport network.

“We believe public transport fares represent great value for money.

improvements to Canberra’s public transport network, including the integrated public transport network, new buses, a new depot at Woden and new ticket vending machines.”

There is still no confirmed start date for the light rail service next year. The ACT’s new bus network will become operational on 27 April, in time for the start of the second school term. Minister for Transport Meegan Fitzharris has confirmed that the bus

timetable will be released in “early March” to allow Canberrans to plan their journeys.

news Eddies gets into Christmas spirit Students from St Edmund’s College in Griffith have contributed to the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal, preparing hampers to be distributed to families in need. The students spent six weeks gathering food items to go into the hampers.

Director Secretariat at Vinnies Canberra/ Goulburn, Sarah Clifton, said Vinnies is expecting to provide over $500,000 in emergency assistance to over 3,000 families and individuals in the Canberra region over the holiday period.

“As Christmas approaches, calls for help to the Society are expected from now until January,” she said.

“The food we receive from St Edmund’s will be included in the hampers our volunteer members make up and deliver to the people we assist. Vinnies members in Canberra visit families in their homes to find ways in which we can best support them.

“In the last year, the two greatest requests for assistance were for help with food and utilities. Our Christmas Appeal allows us to provide practical assistance in the form of help with rent, and utilities, but we also enjoy making up festive hampers with special, celebratory food and gifts. Everyone should

20

be able to experience joy at Christmas.”

In presenting the hampers, Director of Mission and Identity at St Edmund’s, Michael Monagle, thanked the students for their efforts and said the hampers were a perfect way to “bring a bit of light, a bit of joy” to someone in need.

“Eddies has a strong history of supporting our local community, and we’re pleased to be able to support the St Vincent de Paul Society in the good work they do in our area. Our students have learned a lot from our involvement with Vinnies, and enjoyed collecting food they thought other families would enjoy,” he said.

“We’re so grateful for the wonderful support we’ve had from St Edmund’s this year.

From having fundraising days, to staff and students volunteering with our services, we are pleased to see the spirit of social justice alive and well in the next generation,” said Ms Clifton.

The hampers will be delivered to individuals and families in the region on Thursday 20 November. The St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal runs until 31 January 2019.

Ms McDonald is a former Deputy CEO and acting CEO of Austin Health in Victoria. She has a Bachelor of Nursing, a Masters of Health Administration, post graduate diplomas in Health Services and Health Systems Management, and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

ACT Minister for Health and Wellbeing Meegan Fitzharris and Minister for Mental Health Shane Rattenbury both welcomed the appointment. Minister Fitzharris said she is “thrilled” that Ms McDonald will be staying on to lead CHS.

“She is someone with significant experience in leading hospital and health service delivery, as well as policy and program delivery and it’s great to have her on board.”

Minister Rattenbury agreed, and said “I know our mental health staff have already benefitted from Bernadette’s leadership and I look forward to continuing to work with her as we look to grow our mental health services into the future”.

The appointment comes as the ACT’s health sector battles criticism over workplace culture and hospital waiting times.

ACT Health was split into two organisations in October; ACT Health is responsible for governance of the health system, while CHS maintains the delivery of public health services to Canberrans.

news ANU develops nationwide obesity program A new program developed by the Australian National University (ANU), will be rolled out across the country to help GPs in treating patients with obesity.

‘The Change Program’, developed by the ANU Medical School, will see patients work with their local GP on ‘long-term lifestyle changes’.

Dr Liz Sturgiss from the ANU College of Health and Medicine said the program provides a bridge for GPs from current guidelines to actually working with patients in a daily practice.

“This is the first program of its kind in Australia that GPs can use with patients,” Dr Sturgiss said.

“GPs know the whole picture of a patient and their family and can look at obesity holistically.

“For patients that want the option of working with their

GP, this program provides the resources to do it.”

Dr Sturgiss said patients have established trusting relationships with their GP, and that viewpoint could be a missing link in obesity management.

“We have purposely put this program within general practice because it is where people go in an ongoing way for their healthcare.

“More than 85% of people see a GP at least once a year.

“Now doctors and patients will be able to work together towards sustainable changes to help patients reduce weight and improve their health generally.”

Developed over five years, the Change Program incorporates psychology techniques, collaborative goal setting, with a how-to workbook that covers practical steps on nutrition,

exercise, goal setting, wellbeing and meal plans. It also includes setting realistic exercise goals, a regular pantry stocktake, relapse trouble shooting and a nutrition diary.

“The NHMRC (National Health and Medical Research Council) have fantastic guidelines for GPs that describe what to do but this program shows doctors and patients how to do it,” Dr Sturgiss said.

“It is not a fad diet; it is about serious lifestyle change and things you can do on an ongoing basis.”

Canberra General Practitioner from YourGP, Dr Melian Deery, trialled the program with patients and said it is “a really great tool for us to use with patients”.

“Through the project we helped a number of patients lose between five to eight kilos, which

is a significant amount of weight and we’ve continued to use the skills we’ve learned to support our patients to lose weight.

“GPs are very accessible and well placed to help patients with obesity and this program is a way for us to do that well.”

news Great Australians showcase personal objects In what is a fascinating insight into some of our country’s highest achievers, the National Museum of Australia (NMA) and National Australia Day Council’s (NADC) fifth annual Australian of the Year exhibition opened earlier this month.

Presented in the NMA’s atrium for free, the exhibition asks each of the 2019 Australian of the Year state and territory recipients to pick out their favourite item and provide a brief description of what makes it special to them.

In doing so, we get an intimate, yet highly accessible glimpse into what makes each of them tick, telling us something about their lives, aspirations and experiences.

This year’s cohort includes: ACT 2019 Australian of the Year, journalist and women’s advocate Virginia Haussegger; WA’s Craig Challen SC OAM, cave diver and rescuer; NSW’s Kurt Fearnley AO, athlete and disability spokesperson; SA’s Dr Richard Harris SC OAM, anaesthetist and cave diver; NT’s Michael Long, AFL champion and community leader; and Queensland’s Jon Rouse, child

exploitation investigator.

Ms Haussegger, passionate about conversations, women’s rights and gender equality, chose her Pussyhat, an international symbol of protest participation and solidarity.

Worn widely during the United States Women’s Marches in 2017, they were a bold visual statement. They also gave those makers unable to attend a way to support the protest.

National Museum Director, Dr Mathew Trinca, said the recipients have chosen diverse and deeply personal objects reflecting their life’s journey.

“We hope many Australians will see this exhibition and reflect on the issues raised by the objects before us – and the endeavours of the Australians who selected them,” Dr Trinca said.

NADC CEO Karlie Brand said this is the fifth year the NADC has collaborated with the NMA to bring together a unique exhibition that showcases our nation’s finest.

“We are honoured to share the remarkable stories of eight standout Australians through objects that provide a special insight into their

news Prioritise sleep to improve health Australia needs to prioritise sleep to improve the health and productivity of the nation, according to Neuroscience Research Australia’s (NeuRA) recent submission to the Federal Government’s Inquiry into Sleep Health Awareness in Australia.

Four out of 10 Australians do not get enough sleep and without adequate, restorative sleep, the human body cannot function optimally, according to Professor Danny Eckert, Director of the Sleep Program at NeuRA. Professor Eckert is calling for a $200 million strategic investment into sleep health over the next five to 10 years to be funded by the Medical Research Futures Fund.

The professor and his team at NeuRA are dedicated to helping the over seven million Australians and their families who are impacted by the adverse consequences of inadequate sleep.

Inadequate sleep can be caused by sleep disorders including sleep apnoea and insomnia, medical conditions that disrupt sleep like back pain or routinely not getting enough sleep due to lifestyle or life challenges.

This leads to sleep deprivation and can result in daytime sleepiness and impaired alertness.

Inadequate sleep is associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, impaired brain function, neurodegenerative disease including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,

University of Canberra student Jarred Synnott will take on Washington DC, as he heads to the United States for the Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme (UCWIP).

UCWIP sees just 12-14 students selected from nine universities in Australia chosen to participate each year. Mr Synnott, who is currently studying a Bachelor of Communications in Public Relations, says he is “really excited” to have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, particularly in “a place with such a dynamic political scene”.

“It’s always an interesting time to be in Washington. But now, with the mid-term results seeing the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives, and

the Republicans extending their majority in the Senate, it’s going to be particularly exciting,” he said.

Students will be matched with personal and committee offices in the US House and Senate, with both Democrat and Republican offices involved. Mr Synnott will be interning with Democratic Congressman Mark DeSaulnier of California.

“He’s a very grassroots politician, who is very involved with his constituents and spends a lot of time listening to them,” Mr Synnott said.

“I’d like to think we share a lot of interests, such as education and the workforce.”

Mr Synnott will leave Canberra in late December for the two-month internship.

Late Sheikh Zayed with the UAE Founding Fathers.

2018 marked the centenary of the birth of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who unified the seven different emirates and set the course for the United Arab Emirates’ staggering growth.

Year of Zayed honours UAE’s ‘spiritual father’

S

heikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was born in 1918, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who had left a significant legacy full of achievements and noble values such as equality, tolerance, charity and generosity that have lived long after his leadership. For this, 2018 was named the Year of Zayed marking a centenary of his birth. He was a symbol of justice, generosity and courage – he grew up in a family of leaders and became a visionary who dedicated his life for the improvement of the country in particular and humanity in general.

The UAE's spiritual father had succeeded in achieving his people’s aspirations for unity and stability. As

a result of his exceptional leadership and wisdom, the UAE was able to make great strides in its development journey over the last 40 years. Sheikh Zayed infused in the UAE a spirit of responsibility, solidarity and collaboration.

Sheikh Zayed’s name, reputation and the nation he built have earned him a status that very few leaders of the world can boast of, a visionary leader is what he is and will always be known as – starting from his foresight in unifying the seven different emirates and set the course for the country’s staggering growth.

His vision was driven by his deep wisdom, his intuitive intelligence and his passionate belief in social, economic and environmental

sustainability. Armed with the valuable lessons of the past, he believed that it is important to pursue development that meets the needs of present and future generations.

To that end, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan laid out a vision that would ensure the sustainable development of the UAE. Sheikh Zayed privately paid for construction and annual running costs of hundreds of schools, orphanages and hospitals, in dozens of developing and third world nations. He personally had adopted more than 1,000 orphans since the early 1970s.

He managed a reclamation project, which turned 25 square kilometres of barren desert into farmland in just 12 months. On his orders, some 12 million trees were planted on 60,000 hectares of land in Abu Dhabi alone. He distributed over US$1 billion to worthy causes in just five years between 1973 and 1977.

Some of Sheikh Zayed’s most inspirational quotes “They used to say that agriculture has no future in the UAE. But with God’s blessing and our determination, we have succeeded in transforming this desert into a green land.”

“The livelihood is from God, the money is God’s, the land is God’s, the grace is God’s, we are all God’s creation, and he who has trusted God will never be failed, and those who come to us are welcome.”

“Islam desists violence practised by terrorists who kill their brethren and commit all despicable actions under the shelter of religion. Islam dissociates itself strictly from these people and their actions.”

“We must move with the times, we may make mistakes but that shouldn't stop us from taking up the challenges and carrying on with our march to success.”

news Five tips to curb expenses Research commissioned by money expert and author of The Breakfast Club for 40-Somethings, Vanessa Stoykov, reveals that only 43% of Australians are honest when they talk to their loved ones about their spending habits.

Interestingly, males (41%) and females (44%) are practically on par when it comes to being dishonest.

“The most common reason I find that people lie is because they feel out of control and that it’s much easier to have their head in the sand than take real action,” Vanessa says. “But making a change doesn’t need to be scary, it should actually be liberating, because it will improve your life and put you back in control.”

Vanessa’s top tips to help curb expenses without having to make too many sacrifices are: 1. Think of cheaper alternatives to your favourite entertainment options. The cost of activities like going to the movies quickly adds up, especially if you have a family. Before spending money on activities, consider if there is a cheaper alternative, e.g. if you want to have a movie night try using Netflix or Stan and staying in instead.

2. Make a list. Making a list of the items you need from the grocery store before you go saves time and money. Plan what meals you want to make, check what you already have on hand, make a list of everything you need, and stick to it. This will stop you buying excess produce and keep the costs to a minimum.

3. Consolidate debt. If you have more than one credit card or personal loan, roll them into one. That will reduce the pressure of paying different payments over a month, and means you only need to pay one bill. You may also be able to access a cheaper rate doing this. Some credit card companies offer 12-month interest

free periods to roll over balances. Your bank may give you a personal loan to cover it. Do the leg work and find out what the better deal is for you.

4. Reuse whatever you can. Where possible, don’t buy anything new, instead reuse and recycle what you can. If you eat out and have leftovers, ask for a takeaway container and eat it for lunch the next day. Or hire a formal outfit for a special occasion rather than buying a new one.

5. Unplug electronic devices you aren’t using. Any device that is plugged into a power point uses up energy – even when it’s in standby mode, and although the amount might be small, it adds up. If there are items like a Playstation or heater that only get used occasionally, turning them off from the power point can save a substantial amount per quarter. Also, call your electricity provider and ask if you can you get a discount if you pay via direct debit.

Canberra A-League bid misses out After months of deliberations from Football Federation Australia officials, it was confirmed earlier this month that the Canberra A-League bid missed out on being one of the two expansion teams that will be welcomed into the competition.

Canberra was viewed as an attractive expansion option with a well organised bid, with over 8,000 members, and an ownership model based on the Bundesliga’s ‘50 plus one’ set-up which sees club members hold majority control of the club.

It was also deemed strong, as Canberra currently has no major men’s summer sports team based here; neither the Big Bash nor the NBL has an established presence in town.

The FFA’s decision to place a new team in both Sydney and Melbourne is believed to satisfy their broadcasters’ desire to create more local derbies in Australia’s most heavily populated cities, rather than expand into more regional markets.

Instead of doing schoolwork and hanging out with friends, many young carers spend their time instead helping a parent with personal care, medications, medical appointments, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, paying bills and looking after younger siblings.

They often struggle at school, have little time to themselves and are more likely than their peers to have mental health issues. They need your support to give them a break from caring these holidays and help them through school next year. To donate, call 6296 9900 or visit carersact.org.au/donate

Canberra Veterinary Emergency Services advertising moment

Compassionate care when you need it most Canberra Veterinary Emergency Services (CVES) are here to make sure your pet has access to the best emergency veterinary care, when they need it most. Specialising in emergency and critical care, CVES is open when your regular veterinarian may not be, offering Canberrans an option for afterhours, emergency care.

Over the festive season, the CVES team will be on hand 24 hours a day to ensure the pets of the ACT and surrounding region have someone looking out for them.

CVES Director Dr Taleta Hompas says the team are passionate about providing compassionate care to every animal that comes through the door.

We recognise that emergency care can be incredibly stressful for pet owners,” she says. “We put compassionate care for the animals and their owners as our fi rst priority.”

The team has doubled in size since CVES began in 2016, having grown from nine employees to 20 in

Dr Hompas and fellow CVES director Dr Tracy Hughes have over 19 years of combined Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care experience between them, and are dedicated to building a home and practice of excellence for veterinarians and nurses who share the same passion.

“We are extremely lucky to work with a team of such dedicated professionals,” Dr Hompas says.

“We could not do it without them.”

“Tracy and I have worked together in other practices and wanted a practice focused on delivering compassionate care,” Dr Hompas says.

“With all the exponential growth in Canberra’s North, we saw the need for an emergency facility.

Animals get sick after hours and need care in the middle of the night ... There is certainly a demand for 24-hour care.”

Dr Hughes says the team are fortunate to be able to work out of Gungahlin Veterinary Hospital.

“They are a fabulous group of people who have given us a home.

We are very grateful to have found them.”

Dr Hompas says that they feel extremely privileged to work closely with the Canberra veterinary community. “We feel very fortunate

The facility has just undergone renovations to expand the practice and ensure there is room for continued growth in 2019 and beyond.

As well as providing emergency care, the CVES team support the work of the Pets in the Park charity, providing treatment and care for animals belonging to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. CVES are also passionate supporters and work very closely with ACT Wildlife, caring for our sick and injured native animals and supporting local carers in the wonderful work that they do.

CVES has also established a community blood bank, the CVES Blood Donor Heroes, taking blood donations from healthy (and heroic) dogs for use in emergency situations such as surgery or transfusions. The Blood Donor Heroes have grown to include 47 of our local Hero dogs and have performed 56 life-saving blood transfusions to pets in need since the practice opened.

CVES will be open 24/7

time out TV presenter Osher Günsberg said Love and Desire’s explorations of its titular themes make it accessible on many levels. Photos: Eva Schroeder.

World-class works explore Love and Desire They’re iconic images known the world over.

Sir John Everett Millais’ Ophelia and John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott are just two of the scores of paintings by the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood, a group of 19th Century British artists that have inspired artists the world over.

And while they may not necessarily be known by name to the layman, they’ve become such a significant part of our collective, popular visual language that they’re instantly recognisable.

These works rarely, if ever, leave their home

Many of the famous works on display in the NGA’s Love and Desire exhibition have become a part of pop-culture’s universal visual language.

54

at the Tate in London, which makes the NGA’s 2018-19 summer blockbuster, Love and Desire, something special.

The exhibition showcases some 60 works from the Tate and at least 40 more from a variety of public and private collections. Within all the works are the many expressions of the infinitely relatable and human feelings of love and desire.

“The Pre-Raphaelites were producing images that were both strange and unsettling, and quite compelling; and I think that’s why today they still resonate,” Tate Director of National and International Partnerships Judith Nesbitt said.

“They were a radical, controversial group of painters and they really were, I think, speaking to the anxieties of their age.

“They were struggling with issues of modernity, industrialisation, class, gender, morality, and so I think we recognise those issues beneath the layers of myth and legend, and the literary references they drew upon.”

Nesbitt said she was blown away by the way the works have been displayed at the NGA. “This is an exhibition that has our collection

at the heart of it, but we’ve never seen this exhibition before; and actually, I’ve never seen our paintings look better,” she said.

“I love the design and installation of the exhibition; it’s spacious, it’s very rich and it’s elegant.

“The groupings, the pace and flow of the exhibition is beautiful, and I think they’ve done a beautiful job of bringing this group of works and the stories they tell to life in such an interesting way.”

With many of these works being the “crown jewels” of the Tate’s collection, Nesbitt stressed the true rarity of their presence here in Canberra.

“It’s so difficult to bring together this quality of work from a range of collections, we certainly don’t often lend on this scale from this part of our collection. They are very precious to our visitors.”

TV presenter Osher Günsberg said Love and Desire’s explorations of its titular themes make it accessible on many levels.

“I’ve been working in the reality-television based space of helping people fall in love for about six years now.

“I would say that while the modality of how we meet each other has changed … the way we feel about each other has absolutely not changed.

“There’s a few moments that you see in this exhibition where you see love, yearning, the unstoppable fire within your loins that drives you toward questionable actions … that is instantly relatable.”

As part of Love and Desire, Günsberg will host a Summer Lovin’ picnic party in the NGA’s Australia Garden on Saturday 19 January.

1

The Turn of Midnight

by Minette Walters Allen & Unwin, $32.99

Those looking for something special to buy themselves should check out this impressive literary adventure set in the heart of the Black Death. As 1349 approaches, the plague continues to devastate England.

time out Now showing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (PG) Teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) struggles to adjust to his new elite boarding school and to live up to the expectations of his parents. Hanging out with his shady uncle, who encourages Miles to further his passion in graffiti in an abandoned subway station, Miles is bitten by a genetically modified spider and discovers a machine that is opening up parallel universes.

The Marvel Comic Universe is a tangled web. Over the years, comic lines have been debuted and shutdown all in response to sales. Sony’s legal shenanigans with Marvel Studios over the web-head have seen them resort to using their available Spidey IP to make up for the one they lack: the cinematic rights to Peter

Parker, aka Spider-Man prime.

Where Venom has made a punch at the box-office with nary a mention of said Spidey, this movie seems to follow suit.

The look of the movie is amazing, like walking through the pages of a comic book!

Countless visual cues to over 70 years of Marvel comics are here – from soft bleeds to half-tone printing and printed onomatopoeia effects. The use of 3D and 2D cell shading brings a fresh look while paying homage and celebrating all that has come before, including multiple takes on Spidey. The animation is kinetic and frenetic, building up into an amazing visual display.

Verdict: A fresh take on the stale origin story. A joyous celebration of Spider-man’s multimedia history. 4 stars.

my number one tip is to ditch the white bun. This means you can enjoy yourself and eat more of the meat, seafood and salads without filling up on bread.

Healthy summer hacks

Exercise outside

Summer is the perfect time to catch up and celebrate the holiday season with friends, family, food and fun. However, often a change in season can derail health and fitness goals without even realising. CW caught up with Tiffiny Hall, founder of online health and fitness program TIFFXO.com, with her top tips to stay happy and healthy this summer.

Eat the rainbow Those delicious seasonal veggies that roll around once a year make them so much more appealing!

Fill up with fresh summer fruit and veg and get creative in the kitchen by adding stone fruits to yoghurt, berries to salads (blueberries and kale is a delish combo) and mangoes to smoothies!

Ditch the bun Summer means plenty of barbecues with family and friends so if you want to stay healthy at the soiree,

When the sun is shining, don’t feel stuck inside a gym. Instead, take your sweat sesh outside! I design all of my workouts on TIFFXO to be done anywhere, anytime. You don’t even need equipment. Take me to your garden, local park or even the beach.

Zen out in the garden Because a healthy summer isn’t just about your physical health, your mental health is just as important. Take advantage of the warmer weather and enjoy a little “me time” outside (you won’t want to meditate under a tree when it’s raining in July).

Stay hydrated No doubt you’ve heard it a million times – stay hydrated in summer! But with good reason – drinking enough water is critical for total body health. It gives you mental alertness, helps you digest food and helps your internal body temperature regulate when it’s sweltering outside.

Slip, slop, slap!

not realise (or have experienced without thinking about it) is that excess sun exposure can also make you lose your healthy glow. This is because the sun dries your skin of its moisture, making it appear dry and prematurely wrinkled.

Take it slow What do I do if all I want to do is eat a packet of crisps and sit by the pool all day? I do just that! Maintaining a six-pack over summer is pointless if it’s going to make you unhappy and distract you from time with family and friends.

So enjoy taking time to relax occasionally without feeling bad about it.

Plus, giving your body a break helps it rebuild muscle and recharge after a busy period.

Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what the doctor ordered!

Fit for the holidays There’s no doubt it can be easy to fall off the healthy bandwagon this time of year. What with end-of-year parties, a few celebratory drinks and maybe even second helpings of ham and turkey, tis’ the season to indulge. The good news is that with a few tried and tested tips and the choice of two great workouts for the festive season; you can stay on top of your health and fitness and set a platform for the fresh New Year ahead!

Happy and healthy tips: • Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water • Move your body every day – try walking as a start • Get outside and take your kids to the park or on a bike ride • Remember to rest (it’s just as important as a good workout) • If you’re having a few drinks, try alternating with water every second drink • Drink soda water instead of sugary soft drinks • Get social – talk with friends and share a meal • Try not to overfill your plate and watch your portion sizes Workout 1: 15-minute smash session (1 minute on each exercise) • Walk/jog on the spot • Squats • Skip • Toe taps • Walk/jog on spot

This is an edited extract from Piñata Party by Kitiya Palaskas published by Hardie Grant Books RRP $22.99 and is available in stores nationally. Photographer: © Mark Lobo.

Fringed party hats I love a good party hat! Wearing one always makes me feel silly and playful, which is, in my opinion, the exact way you should feel at a party. These hats are made extra festive with the addition of metallic fringe and a mystical charm on top. To save time, you could also use store-bought party hats, but I’ve provided a template so you can use it for future parties, to make hats in any pattern or colour you like.

Party with a piñata project Cute craft projects for your New Year’s Eve party look!

WITH HOME EDITOR, LIBBY KIMBER

Making the piñata fringe 1. To create fringe for your piñata, cut a segment from the folded crepe paper packet, about 3cm wide.

2. Take the folded segment and fi nd the middle. Insert your scissors into the middle and cut up the fold line, leaving about 1cm uncut at the top.

Repeat this step on the other end of the segment. Close up the segment so it’s flat again.

3. Make cuts all the way along the length of the segment, on the same side as your fi rst two cuts. Space each cut about 5mm apart, leaving the same 1cm uncut along the top of the strip. Once you’ve

70

done this, ruffle the cut edge to separate the individual crepe paper sheets, as they can fuse together when you’re cutting through multiple layers. Gently unfold each layer to reveal your fringe.

Mini fringe: To make mini fringe for small piñata projects, simply cut the crepe paper segment at a smaller width – try 2cm – and make your cuts closer together. Some projects ask for ‘tiny, fi nely cut’ fringe, which is a bit smaller again. You may need to make these cuts layer by layer, as it gets fiddly and messy trying to cut through multiple layers of crepe at close intervals.

You will need Party hat template (below) Note: straight edges of photocopied hat should be approx. 21.6cm Scissors Pencil 2 x A3 sheets white card Hole punch Double-sided tape Masking tape Elastic 1/4 packet metallic crepe paper (a different colour for each hat) 2 small pieces glitter card (a different colour for each hat) Hot-glue gun

Instructions 1. Using a photocopier, enlarge the party hat template by approx.

830%. Transfer the template onto the white card, making sure you also transfer the hole punch markings. Cut out two party hats.

Use the hole punch to create holes at the marked points on each hat.

2. Stick a strip of double-sided tape along one straight edge of each hat. Curve each hat into a cone shape and stick together along the taped edge. Secure along this edge with a strip of masking tape on the inside and outside of the hat.

3. Measure and cut a piece of elastic (long enough to securely hold the hat on your head). Thread the elastic through the punched holes and tie with double knots. Repeat for the second hat.

4. Create fringe for the hats using metallic crepe paper. Apply double-sided tape to each hat and cover with the fringe.

5. Draw and cut out two moon and two star shapes from glitter card.

Use the hot-glue gun to stick each shape together, blank sides facing in, so they are double-sided. Glue the shapes onto the top of the hats.

I love statement earrings, and have been designing and making them for a few years now. Part disco, part crystal ball, these shimmery, eccentric li’l numbers will make your party outfit pop.

You will need Jewellery pliers 2 earring hooks 2 metal eyepins Hot-glue gun 2 small polystyrene balls, 5cm in diameter Scissors Small quantity gold crepe paper

Instructions 1. Use the jewellery pliers to attach an earring hook to each eyepin.

Squeeze a dab of hot glue onto the end of each eyepin and stick one into each of the polystyrene balls.

2. Cut out two small circles from the gold crepe paper, about 2.5cm in diameter. Using the hot-glue gun, stick a circle onto the base of each ball, using your hands to mould and stick the paper around the base of the ball.

3. Create tiny, finely cut fringe for the earrings using the gold crepe paper.

4. Starting from the base (where you glued the crepe paper circle) and working towards the top, carefully wrap the fringe around each ball, securing it in place with hot glue. When you have covered the ball, trim any excess fringe.

In flower this week: globe artichokes A popular plant – grown as much for its ornamental appeal as its delectable unformed flowers – globe artichoke is one plant worth making room for. It is a vigorous WITH HORTICULTURIST TRACEY BOOL perennial reaching a traceyboolgardenwriter.com metre or more in height, with humongous, deeply lobed silver foliage and edible flower buds in late spring and early summer, which form gorgeous purple flowers if left.

Globe artichokes grow in full-sun to part-shade positions and are dry-hardy once established.

They grow well amongst other plants in the garden, making for a showy foliage contrast.

Marinated artichoke hearts Although there’s a bit of work involved and a whole lot of plant for comparatively little harvest, marinated artichoke hearts are one of life’s great delicacies.

The larger than life globe artichoke. With striking silver foliage, delectable flower buds and show stopping flowers, this perennial plant is as at home in the ornamental garden as it is the vegetable patch.

Commercial rates inquiry Commercial property rates in the ACT are currently under question as recent concern has been raised relating to the Territory’s significant higher taxes than its neighbouring states.

The Legislative Assembly has directed the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (PAC) to inquire into commercial rates and report by 4 April 2019. These rates affect many Canberra businesses as well as landlords and property owners. Chair of the PAC, Vicki Dunne MLA, said that commercial

rates have been an issue in the community for some time and that it makes sense for the PAC to look into it.

The Committee is required to consider all issues relating to commercial rates in Canberra including: the process for determining ratings factors; the impact of lease variations; how valuations are conducted; the amount paid by property owners; the impact on leasing costs, property values and business viability; and the effectiveness of

Rental bond help program To better access interest-free rental bond loans for individuals and families in the ACT, the Rental Bond Help online platform has officially been launched.

The program allows individuals earning up to $94,000 or couples earning a joint amount of up to $125,000 to rent privately when they may not have the access to savings to pay their rental bond.

This means that students, families and young couples won’t have the added stress of covering the rental bond upfront when they can access an interest-free loan for up to two years from the ACT Government.

Applicants can apply and submit their application online and the ACT Government will pay the lump sum cost of their rental bond straight to the ACT Revenue Office. The applicant can then repay the money without any interest over a period of their choosing – up to 24 months.

Rental Bond Help replaces the previous Rental Bond Loan scheme. For more information, visit myaccount. act.gov.au/rentalbondhelp/s/ or contact Gateway Services on 133 427.

SOHO, Mulberry Imagination takes shape Once a high density space to accommodate public servants close to Canberra’s busy city centre, the brand new mixed-use urban Soho precinct nestled on Northbourne Avenue aims to provide a vibrant place to live, work and play.

The first release at Soho is Mulberry, which will sit on the southern end of the precinct.

“Canberra’s Inner North is a desirable location within close proximity to the capital’s most prominent locations in regard to education, work and leisure,” says Art Group Project Director Brett Smith.

Embracing modern living at its finest, each apartment is light filled, bringing out the rich details of its world class design features.

Mulberry’s interiors have been curated by one of Australia’s most influential interior designers, Darren Palmer. “His expertise and keen eye means every apartment has

the perfect balance of function and sophistication,” says Smith.

Mulberry is distinctive and pioneering and, according to Smith, tailorable to add your own touches.

“The design of the smart floorplans ensures no space is wasted. Residents will be comfortable all year round with reverse-cycle air conditioning and double-glazed windows,” he says.

What really sets Mulberry apart is its unique and innovative offerings; the abundance of features complement its urban living experience with plenty of forward thinking. Residents can live the ultimate modern convenience by enjoying lower cost utilities through Embedded Networks providing power, hot water, gas (which will provide residents the rare opportunity to experience when cooking in a Canberra apartment) and internet, and travel quickly without the use of a car with exclusive

Artists impression

Dickson 55 Dooring Street

BYKKO electric bikes provided for residents or they can utilise the Popcar car sharing services.

For additional accessibility for residents, Mulberry offers parcel and refrigerated lockers to allow for online purchases and grocery deliveries to be kept fresh.

Mulberry truly is a complementary living space complete with beautiful low-maintenance landscaped gardens to relax and unwind as well as a resort-style rooftop pool to enjoy exclusively.

Furthermore, Soho’s sought-after Inner North location is conveniently placed; find the Light Rail network on your doorstep for short commutes to the city and Australian National University. Be within walking distance to local schools such as Dickson College, Dickson’s Chinatown and the cosmopolitan

Lonsdale Street in Braddon.

In terms of buyers, the complete convenience of the precinct gives Mulberry a broad appeal. “Due to the vast offering, buyers range from first home owners and owneroccupiers through to downsizers and investors,” says Smith.

Coastal comfort Denhams Beach NSW 1/17 Barbara Crescent This freestanding home located in the idyllic area of Denhams Beach on the NSW South Coast encapsulates the quintessential coastal lifestyle.

“The home is in an absolute prime location with unobstructed cliff top ocean views on one side and overlooking Denhams Beach on the other with paradise vistas from almost every room,” says LJ Hooker licenced agent and auctioneer Karen Van Der Stelt.

Located in the exclusive gated

Quarterdeck complex with resort style pool and relaxing surrounds, this coastal comfort has three spacious bedrooms including main with ensuite, built-in robes and private balcony taking in striking ocean views. Additionally, there is an open plan kitchen and formal dining room, two living rooms with one opening onto an alfresco area and large flat grassed lawn to entertain family and friends.

“The property has quiet and peaceful surrounds as well as the

secure complex. However, the standout feature of the home has to be its exclusive location on the point at Denhams Beach; you can entertain guests or simply enjoy some quality downtime with the spectacular views where you can even watch the dolphins and whales pass by,” says Van Der Stelt.

According to Van Der Stelt, the ideal buyer is someone who is looking for low-maintenance living.

“It’s perfect for the early retiree who still does a lot of travel and it’s low maintenance with a lock up and leave gated complex for peace of mind,” she says.

With only a short walk to Denhams Beach and approximately nine minutes to Batemans Bay CBD, marina and foreshores, this

prestige property is in an ideal location between Canberra (2 hours) and Sydney (3.5 hours).

“The home has been recently painted and carpeted throughout, making it the perfect canvas ready for its new owners,” says Van Der Stelt.

PICK OF THE WEEK The Pianist

The Pianist

Friday, SBS, 8.30pm, (2002) Roman Polanski’s quietly shocking portrait of WWII was adapted from the memoirs of Polish musician and holocaust survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman (played with astonishing subtlety by Adrien Brody), Polanski’s masterpiece charts Szpilman’s descent from a dandy Warsaw celebrity as the first Luftwaffe bombs pepper the city, to a dishevelled shadow of a man wandering empty ruins while clutching a tin of pickles. Not to be missed.

Friday

Bad Santa

Amélie

Friday, NINE, 10.30pm, MA15+ (2003) A comedy from director Terry Zwigoff that follows the lessthan-jolly exploits of perverted, whisky-swilling Santa-for-hire Willie (an incredibly funny Billy Bob Thornton). Aided by his elf sidekick (Tony Cox), the pair parlay their roles as entertainers to annually fleece the department stores they work at. But this year’s heist is complicated when a bullied, lonely youngster (Brett Kelly) latches on to the surly, redsuited crook.

Amélie

Monday, SBS, 11.15pm, M (2001) French writer-director Jean-Pierre Jeunet sprung this heavenly vision of love, fate, beauty and chance. Amelie (Audrey Tautou) is an innocent and naive girl in Paris with a compulsion to bring joy to everyone she knows, but can she find a certain happiness that’s all her own? It’s Jeunet’s bold and miraculous visual interpretation of the simple, seemingly inconsequential things in life that lift this modern fable to extraordinary, whimsical heights.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY The Full Moon on the 22nd warns you to be careful on the roads as accidents are possible, but can be avoided if you concentrate when behind the steering wheel. A friendship may be changeable so try to let the points of accord you share rise to the surface.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE The Full Moon on the 22nd warns you to be careful with your valuables as there is a possibility that you may lose them or have them stolen. Otherwise, fortune is smiling upon you, but to make the most of this positive period you must step outside your routine.

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY The Full Moon on the 22nd

Change is all around Jennifer and opportunity comes knocking. This is the time for planting seeds she wants to come up later. By year’s end, she’ll be able to say ‘I did it my way’. Social connections that start in 2019 will last for a long time to come. On the career front, she must determine her future course, set long-range goals and take steps to attain them. The events of the year ahead are stepping stones to a new era in her life.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates tempestuous romantic vibes with someone who you know from a distance – either the distant past or location in Australia or overseas.

There will be passionate, loving times with your partner, but be careful of allowing any insecurities to get in the way.

The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates that you are likely to be feeling a little under the weather which could make you rather moody. If an attraction exists between you and a valued friend, colleague or acquaintance, be aware that it could be imbalanced.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates that a confrontation with a friend or family member is on the cards, be sure to deal with this diplomatically!

When Mercury squares off against a powerful planet like Mars, it can create exhaustion, making it difficult to view life objectively.

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates that frustrating conditions on the career front or a business

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates that relationships will be hard work this month and you will need to pour a great deal of energy into providing generous support to your partner, family members, friends and colleagues who come to you for counsel and requests for help.

likely as additional family activities and commitments keep you busy.

A special outing and spontaneous spending will eat into savings.

Going further afield will push the pace. A new discovery or realisation will bring home a lesson it’s time to learn.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB The Full Moon on the 22nd brings tensions and hassles on the job; due to the stress of the work environment you may not be feeling in the pink healthwise. As long as you remember the old saying about everything in moderation, you will easily come through these astrological aspects.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR The Full Moon on the 22nd indicates that children will be demanding just when you need some rest from a stressful work situation. Take time to centre yourself as it will help you to take temperamental people, awkward differences with others and demanding tasks calmly in your stride.
