This week...

It’s been said that books can change lives. And nowhere is that truer than at the Lifeline Bookfairs. Three times a year, Lifeline Canberra runs its hugely popular Bookfairs – in spring and autumn at EPIC on the northside, plus its southside winter fair in Tuggeranong, coming up on 12-14 July. The Bookfairs raise a big chunk of the funding required to keep Lifeline’s local crisis support service running, which has the potential to save and change lives, every day. Supporting the amazing trained volunteers who answer the 13 11 14 crisis line, are the dedicated Bookfair volunteers. These hard-working folk handle and sort hundreds of thousands of books of all genres, as well as CDs, DVDs, magazines and more, that are donated to Lifeline Canberra. It’s a remarkable effort! Flip to the cover story on page 49 to fi nd out more. Reasons to be grateful this past week include a refreshing break in Cairns catching up with family for my Dad’s 82nd birthday, my son dropping me off at the airport at 5am (and picking me up on Sunday night), a fun op shopping expedition with my sister, walking barefoot in the sand at Holloways Beach in 27oC sunshine on Sunday, dining alongside the esplanade, safe and affordable air travel, and Lifeline Canberra’s wonderful volunteers and employees. - Julie Samaras

news Bullying inquiry receives harrowing submissions An ACT Government-established inquiry into the management and minimisation of bullying and violence in ACT schools has received numerous submissions from a variety of stakeholders outlining a host of concerns. The Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs has decided to release most of the submissions they received, with some names and details being redacted to protect identities. Internally, there were reservations about releasing the submissions due to the potential for individuals and schools to be identified. The inquiry is currently holding a number of private hearings into the matter. One submission from a concerned parent detailed the instances of bullying her son received shortly after starting at a public high school, and their subsequent struggles and frustrations in rectifying the situation. “Our family unfortunately experienced violence at the priority area school from the very fi rst day,” the submission read. “My son witnessed increasing incidents

of violence, culminating in one of his friends by the end of the week being punched to the ground and kicked while being fi lmed. “Within the next week we had had five phone calls from the school. These documented incidents of my child witnessing a king hit on a child, rocks being thrown, threatening children with being hit, and general gang behaviour.” It reached a breaking point for the parent when their son was attacked in the playground. “He was sitting eating his lunch when an older student came over and coat hangered him around the neck. The student then walked away and came back with a friend and kicked my son in the stomach. “I immediately contacted the departmental liaison unit and the police. My son provided a statement to the police and I requested a transfer of him from his current school. “I was denied a transfer, then I was denied my fi rst appeal. Shocked and appalled that I could not remove my child from a very difficult situation,” the submission read. The inquiry also received submissions from other parents, teachers, peak bodies including

Menslink, unions, councils and associations representing a variety of stakeholders. A submission from the Independent Education Union of Australia NSW/ACT Branch outlined the frustrations held by many of their members regarding their legal capacity to intervene in violent situations. “Of particular concern to our Union is the increasing fear our members feel towards their own career safety if they intervene in violent situations.” They pointed to academic Clem van der Weegen’s paper Defining ‘Reasonable Force’ in the Modern School Environment as an example of the “Catch 22 situation” school staff find themselves in when confronting violence in schools. “He (van der Weegen) also points to the confusion and lack of certainty frontline school staff have in regard to their legal powers and protections,” their submission read. While it’s unclear how many hearings are expected or for how long that process will take, a fi nal report from the Committee is expected to be tabled on 24 October. - Denholm Samaras

Southside residents call for hydrotherapy pool Hydrotherapy pool users continue to hold the ACT Government to account over providing suitable facilities in Canberra’s south, with over 3,000 signatures presented via two petitions. The petitions called on the ACT Government to keep the hydrotherapy pool at the Canberra Hospital open and maintained until a new dedicated hydrotherapy pool is built on the southside. Tabled by Member for Murrumbidgee, Giulia Jones, on 6 June, the petitions were referred to the Standing Committee on Health, Ageing and Community Services, for their consideration. “I went and had a look myself recently. It is an older facility but it is very clean and well maintained,” Mrs Jones said. “I think everything comes to an end but this is such a vital service. I don’t see why you would close it unless you had something as good.” According to Arthritis ACT CEO Rebecca Davey, hydrotherapy pools are essential for “most people living with chronic pain”. “We have chronic pain users that use them five days a week because it keeps them mobile and keeps them existing in the community,” she said. While there are a number of hydrotherapy

pools in the ACT, Ms Davey said the problem is often they are not deep enough or the right temperature. “A lot of pools are 33ºC which for some people is okay but the biggest problem is they are mostly swimming pools for kids and only go to 125cm deep,” she said, adding that the Canberra Hospital pool is 165cm deep and 34ºC. In the best case scenario, Ms Davey said every public pool facility would have a hydrotherapy pool but admits “that’s not going to happen”. Instead, if the Canberra Hospital pool can’t be kept going “for another 30 years” then another pool on the southside is required as “resources are really lacking”. “We would prefer something that’s more central in the south areas but if Stromlo was all that’s available we’ll take that rather than nothing,” Ms Davey said, adding that any new facility would need to be fit for purpose. In terms of the Stromlo Leisure Centre, an ACT Health Directorate spokesperson said it will include a program pool for activities like swimming lessons and aqua aerobics and “given these activities … will cater to some types of aquatic-based therapeutic activities

and gentle exercise but may not cater to all hydrotherapy activities”. The spokesperson said the ACT Health Directorate has engaged an external advisor, Nous Group, to: assess current demand and referral trends; ensure that current policy settings and contractual arrangements are appropriate; determine the supply of hydrotherapy and warm water facilities across the ACT; and provide advice to government about securing sessions at these facilities. “This work is ongoing and, once complete, the government will consider the advice that has been received,” the spokesperson said. - Allison Turnbull

capital hill A Hawke perspective on politics ast Friday, the nation’s leaders past and present gave Australia’s longest serving Labor prime minister a monumental and deserving sendoff. At the invitation of the Hawke family, our current Prime Minister Scott Morrison set a tone worthy of Hawke’s contribution as a unifier of the nation. Morrison said: “Today we will rightly honour his many achievements for our economy, for our security, for Indigenous Australians, for our society and Australia’s place in the world.” The PM continued, “as a Liberal, I am honoured to acknowledge these achievements, as I know others would be”. Adorning the state funeral with their presence, were five former prime ministers. Australia’s second-longest serving PM, John Howard was among them. Howard pipped Hawke for the title because his Treasurer Peter Costello, unlike Hawke’ nemesis Paul Keating, refrained from challenging him for the top job in his third or even fourth term. And athough Howard lost his last election and his own seat,

he is a much revered Liberal icon. His view of Hawke is that he is indeed the greatest Labor prime minister we have ever had. Former Labor leader, Kim Beazley, gave the eulogy and spoke of Hawke as his mentor and friend, few doubt he was a father figure to the now West Australian governor. But Beazley says our wartime Labor Prime Minister John Curtin was considered by Hawke to have been our greatest national leader. It is 36 years since Bob Hawke wrested government from the Malcom Fraser Liberals so it is not surprising that old enmities have faded. Marc Antony, in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, immortally said, “the evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones”. In the context of the play these words were spoken in irony. Last Friday, Scott Morrison came “to praise Hawke and not to bury him” to turn the famous Bard’s words on their head. I think it is generally true that when we look back we tend to forget the near misses – the tight election wins, the stuff-ups and the messiness that

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

is entailed in holding power in a democracy with a hotly contested parliament. And on that point two men, one Liberal and one Labor, who lost “unlosable elections” – John Hewson in 1993 and Bill Shorten this year – could regret not learning from the way Hawke won power after his party being in the wilderness for nearly nine years. Hawke in 1983 promised Medicare, a summit to unite the nation and tax cuts. He certainly didn’t scare the horses with a “great big tax agenda”. Bill Hayden, the Labor leader deposed at the eleventh hour by Hawke bitterly lamented, “a drover’s dog” could’ve won that election. Much the same sentiment was abroad in the run-up to the May 18 boilover. But even someone as charismatic and as popular as Hawke was not game enough to tempt fate in the way Shorten and Hewson did. Vale Bob Hawke.

news Potential relocation on the cards for CIT Reid

CIT Reid could potentially relocate to the Woden Town Centre and be a major anchor for the revitalisation of the area. File image.

The ACT Government is scoping a major investment in the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), which includes an opportunity to relocate CIT from Reid to the Woden Town Centre. Minister for Vocational Education and Skills Meegan Fitzharris said the ACT Government

will work closely with CIT to commission an independent assessment of sites in Woden that could accommodate a new CIT campus. Minister Fitzharris said “positioning CIT with a major presence in the heart of Woden has the potential to enhance the town centre”. It is a move that is welcomed by the Woden Valley Community Council (WVCC), who believe agglomerating a CIT and social infrastructure in the town centre will “bring activity and provide confidence to the private sector to invest in the area”. WVCC suggests a viable site for CIT that meets a number of objectives could be the surface car park north of the bus interchange. According to the WVCC, “while this site is accessible to all areas of Canberra, it significantly improves access to higher education for communities living in Canberra’s south”. The former Woden CIT site, located on Ainsworth Street in Phillip, is currently earmarked for demolition. The Development Application for the site says no future land uses have been proposed at this stage. However, the WVCC opposes the demolition as

it “eliminates any opportunity for a refurbishment and re-purposing of the structurally sound Commonwealth built structures”. Instead, they would like to see a Master Plan developed for the Canberra Hospital that includes consideration of annexing the former CIT site by ACT Health to ‘future proof’ health services against future land constraints at the hospital. In addition to the CIT proposal, Minister for Community Services and Facilities Chris Steel said the government is “making transformational investments in Woden in this year’s Budget”. “A revitalised town centre is being supported by the ongoing investment in light rail, funding to redevelop the Woden Bus Interchange, planning and design for a new Woden Community Centre, as well as the ongoing investments in the Canberra Hospital, the new Woden bus depot and the popular Woden Experiment,” he said. Notwithstanding this investment, the WVCC is advocating for a plan to guide private and public expenditure in the Woden Town Centre, including a multi-purpose sports stadium, an aquatic centre and an arts centre. - Allison Turnbull

news Dedicated court aims to reduce recidivism, tackle substance abuse The ACT Government has introduced legislation that will allow courts to issue “substance dependent offenders” with a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Order (DATO), in a move to create a new dedicated Drug and Alcohol Court (DAC). The new option for sentencing will aim to reduce recidivism where an offender’s substance addiction has formed a large part of their offending. “The DAC’s sentencing option will provide both targeted and structured health and justice interventions for offenders whose criminal activities have been driven by substance abuse issues,” Attorney General Gordon Ramsay said. Directions Health Services, a community organisation delivering programs to those with drug, alcohol or other addictions, commended the ACT Government on the establishment of the DAC. CEO Bronwyn Hendry said, according to the ACT Criminal Justice Statistical Profile as at September 2016, alcohol was involved in nearly 24% of all charges laid in the ACT in the five years prior, with young men aged 18-21 and 25-29 particularly prevalent. The 18-29 age group were

particularly over-represented in charges laid from apprehensions for illicit drug offences. “Where alcohol and other drugs are the main underlying cause of a criminal act, it is more beneficial for our community that we have systems in place to help people overcome substance dependence,” Ms Hendry said. “We support the eligibility criteria for the DAC, which is targeting people who commit more serious offences.” She said while there is “strong evidence” that an early diversion approach can be effective, the DAC only meets the needs of a small number of people in contact with the criminal justice system. “Directions Health advocates for a full continuum of services, including pre-charge diversion for low level offenders and a health first approach that includes decriminalisation of possession of small amounts of illicit drugs and drug use,” Ms Hendry said. ACT Law Society president Chris Donohue said the establishment of a DAC is an important step in achieving harm minimisation and

rehabilitation for those whose offending is influenced or motivated by drug dependency. “Drug courts have the ability to reduce recidivism. The experiences of the NSW Drug Court at Parramatta provides proof for the success of their more intensive and focused intervention,” Mr Donohue said. The ACT Government has said there will be “heavy compliance measures” imposed on offenders, to “ensure they succeed in addressing the substance abuse issues”, which the ACT Law Society insists should be dealt with by a judicial officer, and that measures should allow for judicial discretion, as to avoid “arbitrary outcomes”. The DAC is expected to be operational towards the end of 2019. Shane Rattenbury, Minister for Justice and Minister for Corrections, said by addressing a person’s addictions, the government was working towards keeping the community safe, preventing drug-related crime and ending the prison cycle. The establishment of the DAC is an item in the Labor-Greens Parliamentary Agreement. - Libby Kimber

news Renewed calls to fast-track a Civic stadium grow While a brand new Civic Stadium has been in and out of the ACT Government’s plans for several years, the stakeholders and spectators at GIO Stadium have continued being subjected to the ground’s dated facilities and amenities. Parramatta’s new $300 million stadium opened earlier this year, Perth welcomed a new $1.6 billion oval last year, Adelaide Oval underwent a $610 million facelift in 2014, Melbourne got a new $268 million rectangular stadium in 2010, Sydney’s current refurbishment of Sydney Olympic Stadium and Sydney Football Stadium will cost $1.5 billion, and Townsville’s new $290 million rectangular stadium will open next year. Canberra’s GIO Stadium is widely regarded as a tired asset when considered alongside its

Australian contemporaries. In 2012, Andrew Barr, ACT Sports Minister at the time, announced plans for a roofed Civic stadium by the end of the decade. Subsequently, the ACT Government’s unplanned $1 billion federal loan to fund the Mr Fluffy Buyback and Demolition Scheme, and building Light Rail stage 1 both took priority. But renewed calls for a Civic stadium have grown this month on the back of both the Raiders and Brumbies playing at the new Parramatta stadium. Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart’s response was glowing when asked about the facility postmatch, with Brumbies coach Dan McKellar mirroring Mr Stuart’s remarks. ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has said the only way he can

fast-track a Civic Stadium is if the Federal Government forgives what remains on the Mr Fluffy loan. “We won’t pay off the Mr Fluffy loan until 2024; the only way I can bring forward stadium infrastructure is if the Commonwealth were to forgive that Mr Fluffy loan.” Mr Barr said a new stadium is on the list for the 2020s, with major infrastructure spending in health, housing and education taking priority in the interim. “We will not be in a new stadium before the end of the 2024 football season, that’s the date that our current lease on Canberra Stadium expires. The earliest will be middecade,” he said. Liberal Senator for the ACT Zed Seselja didn’t agree with Mr Barr’s calls for the Commonwealth to forgive the Mr Fluffy loan.

“Andrew Barr has tripled rates, received record revenue from the Commonwealth while cutting health spending,” he said. “When Andrew Barr owns up to his failures and moves on from his shrill commentary I look forward to a reasonable discussion with him about working together for the good of Canberra,” Senator Seselja said. ACT Shadow Minister for Sports James Milligan said it is important that Canberra’s sporting infrastructure keeps up with Canberrans’ love of playing and watching sport. “That’s why we need to give serious consideration to the future of the Canberra stadium. Factors such as viability, value for money, transport and uses other than just elite sport should be considered,” Mr Milligan said. - Denholm Samaras

news Construction begins on learning centre involved in conservation and restoration work at the sanctuary. The project is expected to generate around 36 jobs during construction, with an additional 12 positions created to manage the centre’s operations once completed. $1.6 million in funding for the centre was pledged by the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust and Odonata, which has been matched by the ACT Government. The centre is expected to open by the end of 2020.

Sewage plant to be replaced Planning for a new sewage treatment plant to replace Queanbeyan’s ageing facility is underway after the NSW Government awarded $3 million towards development of a detailed business case. The proposed plant will need to cater for an increasing population of up to 60,000 in the Queanbeyan-Palerang catchment area and Oaks Estate in the ACT. Investigations will also be conducted into future planning capabilities

for sewerage services for the whole region, with an Integrated Water Catchment Strategy to be prepared. NSW Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the existing sewage plant was built in the mid-1930s and, “while it was updated in the 1980s, it’s now approaching the end its effective service life. That means increasing maintenance costs for the council and ratepayers and the risk of eventual failure”.

Water bills to increase The ACT Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC) has released its annual update of prices that Icon Water Limited can charge for its regulated water and sewerage services from 1 July. A typical household consuming 200 kilolitres of water per year will see an increase in its annual water and sewerage bill of 1.9% or $22. Non-residential customers will see an annual bill change ranging from decreases of around 0.5% to increases of up to 1.1% depending on the water usage and the number of flushing fixtures. The ICRC has published a Regulated water and sewerage services report that describes the 2019-20 price adjustment process, including details of the price calculations.

Thread Together Sydney and Vinnies joined forces just over a year ago for the Thread Together Hub @ Vinnies, which allows people in need to pick up brand new clothes, whatever they might need, for free.

“When people come in, they’re free to shop, if they need help with sizing or anything that they’re looking for like formal wear, job interview stuff, casual things, just things to be comfortable in, whether they’re refreshing their wardrobe from maybe exiting homelessness or leaving a domestic and family violence situation; they’re able to come in and get a free wardrobe,” says Vinnies Canberra/Goulburn Director of Community Engagement, Erin MacArthur. Thread Together Sydney has partnerships with a range of fashion manufacturers, who donate clothes that would otherwise go to landfill, bringing a strong sustainability aspect to the program. The clothes are then shipped to the Thread Together Hub @ Vinnies here in Canberra, and people with a referral to use the service can access a new wardrobe. “We’ve just had a lot of different people coming in and leaving, I think, uplifted, feeling a bit more confident than when they came in, which is a beautiful thing to see,” Erin says. “We’ve had people come in and say ‘this is the

first time I’ve ever seen something on a clothing rack and been able to have it’ … It’s actually, sadly, in our society, if you’re living below the poverty line, a luxury to have new clothes.” Based on volunteers, the Thread Together Hub @ Vinnies works hard to ensure people feel welcomed into the store, with great customer service, a huge range of clothing and facilities for showers. “If people need private appointments or if there are any safety concerns around the situation, we’re happy to book them in, make sure it’s closed off and make sure we can cater to their needs particularly,” Erin says. “Being able to select clothes that reflect who we are as individuals should not be a luxury. We are firm believers that new clothes help restore people’s dignity and self-confidence which form part of the identity we present to the world.” Funds from the Vinnies CEO Sleepout go towards supporting programs such as the Thread Together Clothing Hub @ Vinnies.

news ‘More people’ on public transport There are “more people, more often” using Canberra’s public transport system, according to Transport Minister Meegan Fitzharris. “Latest figures from Monday 3 May to Sunday 9 June, indicate Light Rail recorded 83,862 boardings along the alignment and an average of 14,311 on each working day,” she said. “And during the same period, there were 329,760 journeys recorded on bus and light rail services and an average of 59,435 journeys on each working day.” These figures are in contrast to the figures recorded during the free transport period after

the launch of light rail, with 1,629,720 passenger journeys made on the network between Monday 29 April and Wednesday 22 May, with “record numbers” across the entire network. More light rail services were added during the free period due to increased demand. Numbers were reportedly down in the first week of paid services across the public transport network, but were on the whole higher than at the same time last year. Light rail is reportedly already achieving 2021 business case passenger numbers.

Breastfeeding under threat: ANU researcher A researcher from the ANU has warned breastfeeding is declining in Australia, and says Australian mothers aren’t getting the maternity leave they need to breastfeed properly. “Australian women produce more than 40 million litres of milk for our infants and young children each year, though this value is not counted in our national food statistics, or noticed in the national budget,” says Dr Julie Smith, from the Research School of Population Health.

Dr Smith says breastfeeding is worth at least $3.6 billion to the economy, and that most industrialised countries have sufficient paid maternity leave so mothers can exclusively breastfeed for six months, in line with the World Health Organization. “Failure to help mothers with breastfeeding cost the nation almost $4 billion in lost baby milk production, and hundreds of millions of dollars in preventable health costs,” she says.

Canberrans encouraged to drive safer vehicles The consequences of road crashes have been on display this month in an effort to encourage Canberrans to make safer vehicle choices. Two crashed vehicles, which starkly convey the difference between life and death, have been on display outside the Bunnings stores in Tuggeranong and Belconnen as part of a coordinated series of community awareness events in collaboration between ANCAP, the ACT Government and the local Bunnings stores. ACT Minister for Road Safety Shane Rattenbury said the campaign helps raise awareness of the importance of driving a safe vehicle. “Improvements in vehicle safety, including advances in braking, handling, lighting, seat belts and airbags, have contributed significantly to road trauma reduction,” Minister Rattenbury said. “Many injuries could be avoided, and lives saved, simply by driving safer cars. “I encourage all drivers to buy the safest car they can afford. This could be a used car, it doesn’t have to be the newest car in the showroom.” ANCAP safety ratings for more than 710 new and used vehicle models can be viewed at ancap.com.au

news Frog-friendly habitat ready to welcome visitors Students at Goodstart Early Learning Centre in Jerrabomberra are hoping to encourage some new residents with the installation of a frog pond. The frog-friendly habitat is one of over 100 frog ponds that have been installed across the country as part of Bunnings and the Australian Museum’s National Frog Pond Building Project. May marked the one-year anniversary of the successful community engagement program and Bunnings’ support of the Australian Museum’s FrogID project. Australia has 240 known species of native frogs, many of which are under threat, with the pond building project providing

an opportunity to teach students about the importance of looking after native frogs. Bunnings Fyshwick complex manager Nathan McGrath said the program also provides an opportunity to promote sustainability and showcase the importance of plants and nature. Mr McGrath said Bunnings provided the material and labour for the frog pond “with six to eight team members that came out, some on their day off” while the “kids provided the fun”. Isobel Steward, assistant director at Goodstart Jerrabomberra, said they were involved with Bunnings’ school sustainability program when they heard about the frog pond project and it “developed from there”.

Dylan and Mason get up close to some visiting tree frogs at the Goodstart Early Learning Centre in Jerrabomberra. The centre has installed a pond to help save Australia’s native frogs.

Ms Steward said the older pre-schoolers have been learning about frogs, as well as building frog habitats in their room. She said the project has also

Brumbies captain Christian Lealiifano (right) celebrates with teammates – and the Australian Championship and Rod Macqueen trophies – after defeating the Reds on Saturday 15 June. Lealiifano has announced he will leave the Brumbies at the end of the club’s finals campaign. Getty.

Brumbies call for fans to fill the stands The Brumbies are calling on the community to #FillTheFortress as the side prepares to host the Sharks from the South African conference in a home quarterfinal on Saturday 22 June. The Brumbies will head into Super Rugby finals with plenty of momentum having claimed their sixth victory in a row with a 40-27 bonus point win over the Reds in the final round of the regular competition at GIO Stadium Canberra on Saturday 15 June. As the Australian Conference champions, the Brumbies will host the Sharks at GIO Stadium on Saturday 22 June 8.05pm. If they win this weekend, they will line up against the Jaguares or the Chiefs in the semi-finals.

Lealiifano to leave Brumbies Meantime, Brumbies captain Christian Lealiifano has confirmed that he will depart the club at the conclusion of the 2019 Super Rugby season to take up a contract offer in Japan. “This was a difficult decision

for me and I would like to thank the Brumbies for their support throughout my time at the club,” Lealiifano said of his choice to move to Japan. “The Brumbies mean a lot to me and my family, and they have given me so much. I love Canberra and the community, as it’s my home and will always hold a special place in my heart.” Lealiifano, who has played 148 times for the Brumbies, will end his 12-year association with the club at the culmination of the finals campaign. “We still have much to play for this season as well, starting with our quarter-final against the Sharks on Saturday evening, and I am fully focused on doing my best to help us reach the next stage,” he said. In other player news, prop Tom Ross has signed a two-year contract with the club following a successful maiden season in Super Rugby, alongside flanker Jahrome Brown who has signed for 2020 and 2021; Tevita Kuridrani has agreed to stay with the club for the 2020 season.

Swimmers scoop pool It was a successful meet for three Canberra swimmers at the recent Great Barrier Reef Masters Games in Cairns. John Collis finished with one gold (a new record in the 50m Breaststroke) and five silver medals from his six events; Gary Stutsel won the maximum allowed nine individual events all in record time as well as relay gold (in record time) giving him 10 gold medals, 10 records and Male Swimmer of the 2019 meet; and Ron Watkins came away with two silver medals.

Raiders hold off Sharks After shooting out to an early 20-0 lead, the Canberra Raiders just held off the Cronulla Sharks with a Jarrod Croker penalty goal proving the difference as they won 22-20 at GIO Stadium on Thursday 13 June. The Raiders have the weekend off due to the 2019 representative round, however a number of players will be in action including Jack Wighton (NSW) and Josh Papalii (Qld) in game two of State of Origin on Sunday 23 June; Reuben Porter has been named in the Cook Islands squad to play South Africa on Friday 21 June; and Siliva Havili in the Tonga squad to play New Zealand on Saturday 22 June.

Pizza party

It’s a pizza party at CW this week! Food writer Libby Kimber shares two recipes that a put a twist on one of everyone’s favourite dishes.

Blackberry, rocket and goat’s cheese pizza Recipe and image courtesy of Megann Evans for Fresh Aussie Berries | freshberries.com.au Pizza dough 7g dried yeast sachet 250ml warm water, plus extra for consistency 3 cups plain flour, plus extra for kneading 1 Tbsp caster sugar 1 tsp sea salt 2-3 Tbsp olive oil Toppings 8-10 slices of prosciutto 1/2 cup pizza sauce 1 cup grated mozzarella 60g goat’s cheese 2 cups rocket 1/4 cup of pine nuts and/or chopped almonds 1 punnet fresh blackberries 40

Broccolini chorizo pizza Recipe and image courtesy of Perfection Fresh Serves: 4 Prep: 5 mins Cook: 10 mins 1/3 cup tomato passata 1 Tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce 3 Tbsp olive oil

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, set aside and let stand for 15 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor, and, using the plastic dough blade (or equivalent), pulse briefly. Add the liquid ingredients slowly and process for the next 2-3 minutes, or until the dough just begins to come together to form a ball that looks and feels like playdough. Remove and turnout onto a clean floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes. It should be a soft, smooth, elastic, ball that bounces back when pressed.

2 Tbsp lemon juice

Lightly oil a large glass bowl and the dough ball. Place the dough in the glass bowl and cover with cling wrap. Leave to rise in a warm place for approximately 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. For a better crust, punch down and knead again, reshape the ball and let it rise for 30 minutes.

Combine the passata, chipotle chilli sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with salt and pepper in a small food processor. Process until well combined.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 220°C and cut the pre-prepared dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured surface, knead each portion again, shaping into a round ball. Place each ball onto a lightly floured surface and roll from the inside to the outer edge to form a round shape (or your desired pizza shape), around 3-5mm thick. Prick with a fork then top with your desired pizza toppings, starting with the pizza sauce, prosciutto, grated mozzarella cheese, goat’s cheese, fresh blackberries, and then a sprinkling of nuts. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until cooked through and golden. Top with fresh rocket leaves.

4 green onions, finely chopped 2 chorizo, chopped 1 bunch broccolini 2 x 22cm pizza bases 1 cup grated mozzarella Place a large flat tray into the oven. Preheat the oven and tray to 220°C fan forced.

Mix 1 tablespoon of oil, the remaining lemon juice and the green onions together. Set both aside. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over mediumhigh heat. Add chorizo and sauté for 3-4 minutes until light golden. Add the broccolini and sauté for a further 1 minute. Spread the passata mixture over the pizza bases. Top with chorizo and broccolini mixture. Place onto the hot tray and bake for 5-7 minutes until the base is crisp around the edges. Sprinkle over the mozzarella and bake for a further 2-3 minutes until melted. Spoon over green onion mixture, season with pepper and serve.

Perfect pasta

Nothing goes together quite like pizza and pasta!

Hayden Quinn’s spaghetti marinara Recipe and image courtesy of Hayden Quinn for KitchenAid. Serves: 4-6 Tomato sauce

Pasta dough

1/2 cup olive oil

2 cups ‘00’ flour

1 small brown onion, roughly chopped

2 egg yolks

10 garlic cloves, crushed

2 whole eggs

1 Tbsp fennel seeds

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp chili flakes 4 x 400g can whole peeled tomatoes

To serve

Sea salt, to taste

Finely grated parmesan

800g marinara mix

Crusty bread/baguette

Fresh oregano leaves To make the sauce, heat a large cast iron pot over medium low heat, add oil, onion and garlic, cook until aromatic and onion becomes translucent. Add fennel and chili. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour over tinned tomatoes and add salt. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered for 3 hours. While the pasta sauce is cooking, make your pasta dough by adding all the pasta ingredients to your KitchenAid stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Bring together on speed 3-4 and then knead for 2-3 minutes on speed 1. Remove dough to a floured benchtop, bring to a ball and cover with cling film. Allow to rest for minimum 30 minutes in the fridge. Once rested, with lightly floured hands, knead dough for about 30 seconds. Cut into 4 pieces. Attach the flat roller to the KitchenAid stand mixer. Set adjustment knob on roller to 1 (widest setting). Take one piece of dough and pat out to flatten. Turn the stand mixer to speed 1-2 and feed dough into rollers. Fold dough in half and feed through again on setting 1 until the dough is smooth (add a little extra flour as needed). Once smooth, start to increase the settings one notch at a time until the desired thinness is achieved. Lay pasta onto a lightly floured bench. Repeat rolling with remaining dough. Remove roller attachment and connect the spaghetti cutter attachment. Feed dough through cutter. Lay cut pasta over the back of a chair (on a clean tea towel) or over a pasta drying rack. Pasta can be used immediately or allowed to dry before freezing. Place a large pot of salted water on to boil. Increase heat on the red sauce and add your marinara mix, starting with the crab, followed by the shellfish, followed by the remainder of the seafood. Add fresh oregano. Cook until crab changes colour and shellfish pop open.

Food for thought The latest in foodie news, events and products. Perfectly poached Celebrity chef Manu Feildel (pictured), of My Kitchen Rules, has teamed up with Australian Eggs to share his expert tips for cooking the perfect poached eggs at home:

• When poaching, fresh is always best! Test an egg for freshness by gently placing into a bowl of water. If it lies on its side it is quite fresh; if it stands on end it is less fresh; and if it floats, it is stale or most likely bad. • Always crack your egg into a small bowl before tipping it gently into the water, as this will help it keep its shape in the water. • Add a little vinegar to your poaching water, this will help the white to firm up and hold together in a nice round shape. Never add salt to your poaching water; the salt breaks down the protein. • Have the water at a gentle simmer around 90˚C, to gently cook through with light bubbles that massage the white to surround the yolk.

Canberra comedian Chris Ryan says being awarded best newcomer at this year's Sydney Comedy Festival makes her feel validated after seven years of stand-up. Photos: Kerrie Brewer.

Canberran crowned best newcomer There’s a widely held view within the standup comedy world that it takes 10 years of performing to find your voice. Without that knowledge it might have otherwise been confusing to hear that Chris Ryan, a Canberra comedian with seven years in the game, has just been awarded the prestigious Best Newcomer Award at this year's Sydney Comedy Festival for her show Bogus. “Stage time is everything, the more you do it the better you get,” Ryan told Canberra Weekly. “It does sound funny to some of my friends that I’ve won a newcomer award… but that’s the game. That was my first solo show at the Sydney Comedy Festival. “Winning this award is a big deal within the industry, and feels like validation after seven years of doing comedy.” Those seven years, clocking countless hours of stage time, culminated in Ryan taking her comedy to the next level since pursuing it full time last year. “When you go full-time with something that was previously just a passion or a hobby, you tend to put more on the line,” Ryan said. 44

“I didn’t want to turn down gigs anymore, I wanted to always say yes to good gigs when I could. “You reach an age as well, you reach middle life … it sounds like a Narnia thing or a Tolkien thing, middle life,” she smiled. “You start to re-assess and think ‘I’m not prepared to wait any longer’, and you have a crack if you’re lucky enough.” Ryan said the opportunity to pursue comedy full-time wouldn’t have been possible without her very supportive family. “It takes a big toll, any artistic career is taxing on family life, because you have to travel to get work, you can’t keep doing the same material in the same spot.” Alongside the recognition she received at the Sydney Comedy Festival, 2019 has seen Ryan take her show to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the big dance in Australian stand-up, and launch a new local comedy room, Club Sandwich Comedy at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre. “There’s a lot of great comedians here who are under the radar … we have incredible, talented comedians in this town,” she said. “We have smart people, with very interesting day jobs who do stand-up at night, and that lends itself to some really interesting and intelligent comedy.

Ryan’s regular Beyond Comedy night at Beyond Q Bookshop will celebrate one year later this month, having been warmly received by the local community.

“However, if they get ambitious and get really good, they look at Sydney and Melbourne and see there’s a lot more opportunity there. “Any Canberra comedian who gets some success interstate, it reflects well on our scene and shows outsiders there’s some depth here.” The recent launch of Club Sandwich Comedy now has Ryan running two comedy rooms in Canberra. Her other, Beyond Comedy at Beyond Q Bookshop, will celebrate one year later this month. “I had no idea it would be this welcomed … the comedians tell me regularly this is their favourite room to perform in,” Ryan said. “Whenever I get on stage here I feel welcomed by the audience, they have very kind eyes,” she said. “The room here is divine, getting surrounded by quirky old books you don’t see anywhere else is just interesting. You feel like you’re having an interesting night out.” Ryan put the event’s sustained success down to a number of factors that come together to make Beyond Comedy a truly local event. “People love a neighbourhood event, they don’t always want to drive to Civic or Braddon … doing something in your community locally feels easier and more accessible.” Ryan has two regular comedy rooms - Beyond Comedy at Beyond Q Bookshop, Weston Creek and Club Sandwich Comedy at Tuggeranong Arts Centre; see comedyact.com.au or chrisryancomedy.com for more. - Denholm Samaras

Memory loss and forgetfulness are two of the biggest fears of growing old. The inability to remember names or where you parked the car are constant concerns for those of a certain age. However, it does not have to be that way. As Dr Lynne Kelly points out in her fascinating book, the brain is a muscle and, like all muscles, it needs exercising. Using the right techniques, anyone can improve their ability to memorise, at any age. Drawing on her research, Dr Kelly identifies the best memory techniques that humans have devised over the centuries and tests them in the modern world. Engaging, interesting and very helpful.

Scribe, $48

Marie-Madeleine Fourcade has largely slipped from popular memory, but during World War II she led the largest spy network in Vichy France. Her resistance network had over 3,000 agents and provided the Allies with a large amount of crucial intelligence material. It was a thorn in the side of the Nazis, who pursued its members relentlessly. Hundreds were PROUD PARTNERS tortured and executed and Marie-Madeleine herself was captured twice, but escaped in dramatic circumstances. Olson’s very readable account charts Fourcade’s progress from socialite to leader of a vast resistance movement, and reflects on the irreparable divisions caused by the war. Recommended.

Lifeline Bookfair helps save lives Local bookworms rejoice! Lifeline Canberra’s July Bookfair will be back next month at Tuggeranong Southern Cross Stadium. Whether you’re there to browse or are heading along with a specific title in mind, the three days of festivities ensure there’s time to find exactly what you’re after. With a crowd of over 10,000 expected to grace the July Bookfair, Lifeline Canberra CEO Carrie Leeson tells Canberra Weekly the event has grown significantly in the past few years. “It’s one of the most anticipated book fairs in Australia,” she says. “The morning we open, we usually have about 2,000 people waiting around before we even open the doors.” Leeson says their three annual Bookfairs form a pillar of Lifeline’s fundraising efforts,

which underpins the life-saving work they do on the 24-hour crisis support line. “We generate our own revenue through commercial operations and fundraisers, and on the fundraising side the Bookfair is our largest fundraiser,” she says. Through this event, the team at Lifeline get a sense of what’s on the bedside table of Canberrans, namely what the flavour of the month is, be that the Fifty Shades of Grey outbreak of 2013-14 or the Marley and Me epidemic of the mid-2000s. Shelved alongside the popular is the quirky and collectible, of which the Lifeline Bookfair has plenty. “We’ve had hundreds of year-old medical journals come through, a lot of war journals, books that are no longer available

cover story

in publication,” Leeson says. “We’ve got a team that focus on collectibles who always price them at an absolute bargain, but in relation to what they’re selling at elsewhere, if they’re even selling.” Lifeline Canberra’s team of tireless volunteers, who are currently sifting and sorting through the donations, will be on hand at the Bookfair to help punters find whatever it is they’re looking for. “As we are receiving the books, we’re sorting, pricing and palletising them for the Bookfair.

A host of arts projects including virtual reality dance and augmented reality art have received a share in over $300,000 of ACT Government funding. ACT Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events Gordon Ramsay announced last month that the 15 successful applicants work across a range of art forms including visual arts, literature, theatre, music and dance. “These diverse projects will help our local artists gain new skills, connect with international artists, try new and exciting ideas and develop new performances for the community to enjoy,” Minister Ramsay said. The next $5-$50k funding round will close on 31 July. Artists can apply for the up to $5k funding at any time. The next Program Funding round opened on 1 June and is available to arts organisations that provide significant programs of activity to support and develop the arts in the ACT, and that strongly engage with the ACT community. Program funding is available for up to two years.

A powerful homecoming Since premiering in 2015, Women of Empire Exhibition 1914-1918 has paid tribute to the women of the Great War. It’s been telling women’s stories through the rare and original costumes of the era. After the success of the initial exhibition, the team behind it have announced the new Armistice exhibition, Women of Empire - The Homecoming, is coming to Canberra for the Centenary of the Treaty of Versailles. This new exhibition will explore the lives of even more women 100 years ago. With so many women from Australia and New Zealand and the four corners of the Empire, there are so many stories to be told. The new exhibition will again use the unique format of presenting each of the 30 women whose story is told in an outfit that she might have worn, once again making the experience real and rewarding for those who visit. Women of Empire - The Homecoming will be open 24-30 June 10am-5pm at Causeway Hall, Kingston; woecanberrahomecoming.com

Musician and novelist combine It was a moving exhibition seen by many Canberrans when it was on display at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre in 2018. Raw and visceral, the art work of executed Australian drug smuggler

Myuran Sukumaran was presented in Another Day in Paradise. It featured a striking collection comprised of a number of self-portraits, including a series he completed in his last 72 hours alive, portraits he painted of both Australian and Indonesian political figures, and another series of portraits of the Bali nine. Archibald Prize winner Ben Quilty described Sukumaran’s body of work and the subsequent exhibition he co-curated to Canberra Weekly as “extraordinary”. The work was so extraordinary that it inspired locals, singer/songwriter Pete Lyon and writer/librettist Nigel Featherstone, to develop five “secular hymns” that respond to the exhibition, collectively known as The Final Hours. Over the course of a year, Lyon & Featherstone developed the songs, which were recorded in Canberra using a simple musical combination of acoustic guitar and piano, before being mixed/mastered by Kimmo Vennonen. The Final Hours is now available via bandcamp.com, and all proceeds will be donated to an Australian art-in-prison program.

Now showing Men in Black: International (M)

The head of MiB UK branch High T (Liam Neeson) and MiB Top Agent H (Chris Hemsworth) go headto-head with an alien invasion on top of the Eiffel Tower. Flashing back 20 years prior, and a young Molly Wright (later to be played by Tessa Thompson) witnesses her parents being neuralyzed by MiB, prompting her to dedicate her life to finding, and joining, the secretive organisation. Men in Black (1997) solidified Will Smith as a superstar. Director Barry Sonnenfeld imbued the movie with a dry, dead-pan cool, riffing on The Blues Brothers complete with dark suits, shades and the bass guitar theme within a Ghostbusters-style setting. MiB 2 was a re-tread and the fantastic MiB 3 opened the franchise up to include time travel.

MiB: International is the franchise’s first spin-off, with a new director, stars, set-up and tone. Whereas Smith’s high-performing police character was recruited to the MiB, Thompson’s Molly is a proactive graduate job seeker, who immediately partners herself with H, and is already adept at all manner of fighting, climbing and alien-weapons handling. The flawless Molly is a counter to Hemsworth’s apparent top MiB agent, who plays the incompetent goofy good looking blond, the events of Paris having inexplicably changed him. The plot centres once again on a MacGuffin, but borrows the ‘mole in the ranks’ device from Mission Impossible. Verdict: Lacking the star power, look and feel of the previous entries, this is MiB in name only. 1 star. - Luke McWilliams

Eyelash primer: Eyelash primers – like skin primers – work to prepare your lashes so the mascara can glide on smoothly and do its job without clumping. You can buy primers for lengthening, volume, and lifting too. Eyelash curlers: A lot of people swear by eyelash curlers, and it’s not hard to see why! If you have naturally straight lashes, give an eyelash curler a try – hold for a good 10 seconds – before you apply your primer and/or mascara.

Sleeping pills and insomnia What do Valium, Serepax, Mogadon and Normison all have in common? If you guessed ‘they are all benzodiazepines, highly addictive and commonly prescribed medications for insomnia’, then you are correct. How common are benzodiazepines? According to official figures from NPS MedicineWise, around 6 million prescriptions for benzodiazepines were dispensed in 2018, although once you include off-label and hospital scripts, the true figure is likely to be much higher. Even though the problems associated with benzodiazepines are well known, they are still routinely prescribed without warnings that they are highly addictive and should only be used short term. How do they work? Benzodiazepines depress the central nervous system and temporarily slow the workings of your brain, briefly masking symptoms of anxiety or insomnia. Taking these medications for even a few days can lead to what’s called ‘tolerance’,

where you need a higher dose to achieve the same relief. Withdrawal The side effects that occur when you stop taking benzodiazepines can be brutal and may include insomnia and anxiety as well as headaches, aching muscles, dizziness, tremors, nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, delusions, hallucination, paranoia and seizures. It is absolutely possible to stop taking benzodiazepines but it must be done gradually and with expert medical supervision. Sadly, benzodiazepines are also one of the most commonly misused pharmaceuticals. According to the Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP), approximately half (48.8%) of all drug-related deaths are associated with benzodiazepines. What to do if you can’t sleep If you’re currently using medication for chronic insomnia, talk to your GP and make a plan. The RACGP recommends the best initial treatment

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

for chronic insomnia is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). In my practice, I have found acupuncture and herbal medicine to be especially effective for insomnia. Herbs are non-addictive and, when prescribed accurately, treat the cause as well as the symptoms of insomnia, so once normal sleep is restored you no longer need to take them. Generic ‘off-the-shelf’ herbal remedies can sometimes work but individually prescribed combinations tend to work much better. Acupuncture is a well-known and evidencebased treatment for stress. It might seem counterintuitive that sticking needles in someone would cause them to relax, but talk to someone who’s tried it and they’ll tell you how powerfully it can restore an agitated nervous system to a state of calm and ease.

When it comes to audio-visual equipment, what each consumer requires will differ according to their budget, the size of their home and what their AV system is used for. In-ceiling and in-wall speakers blend into a home’s interior design while producing high quality audio. DALI Phantom S-280 in-wall loudspeakers $5,499; ambertech.com.au

That’s entertainment With the rise in digital entertainment, it’s no surprise that consumers are investing in quality audio systems and technology to watch on-demand television. But what makes a great home theatre? We went to the experts … WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

Design basics Acoustics, room automation, projectors, UHD, LED – it’s easy to believe that designing a home theatre room can be confusing. However, Stewart Altoft, Director of AP Interiors, says five tips can keep the process simple: Budget: By far most important, Stewart says to break your budget down and work out how much you can put aside for equipment and renovations. Acoustics: There are two points to acoustics – sound/noise control and audiovisuals. Noise control is controlling noise transference between walls and ceilings. By increasing your sound rating of the room, it will create a better surround sound effect. Audiovisual is what equipment do you want to run in the theatre room for audio. This can be confusing so finding a local professional can help. Lighting control: Controlling artificial and natural light can be as simple as dimmers for

down lights through to complete automated smart rooms. The more natural light you can block out will result in less reflection which makes for better viewing. Visuals: This is simply anything the eye can see, from audio visuals through to visual features in the room. Viewer comfort: Put simply, what seating arrangements do you want? Bean bags, twoor three-seater lounge, recliners or on-trend theatre room seating. Also, consider how many people will be using the theatre room at any one time. Overall, Stewart says “do your homework. The best part about the room is it’s yours and you can do whatever you like”.

Turn it up When choosing a sound system for your home, it’s important to start by thinking about what you’re using it for. Sergiy Bobrovnychyy,

Kogan.com Director of Exclusive Brands, offers these top tips: • When it comes to simple speakers for music, if you’re looking for something portable to take from room to room, go for a wireless speaker and ensure it has Bluetooth capability. If you’re looking for optimal sound, choose an option with high RMS wattage. The higher the wattage the better, and anything over 40 watts will give you decent sound. • A sound bar is a great option for those looking to amplify sound on the TV. You can get these with a HDMI cable to connect to your TV. For those looking to go super premium, choose a sound bar with Dolby Atmos sound, but these are very expensive.

Talking TVs Knowing what your viewing habits are can help inform your choices when it comes to which equipment is right for you. Sergiy says the resolution on your TV is an important factor when choosing between different models. “If you’re looking for a new TV, it’s a good time to consider investing in a 4K option, as many of these are very affordable and provide great picture quality. If you have a higher budget, 8K TVs are another option, although keep in mind there’s limited models available, and the technology isn’t quite there yet.” Another factor is display. For those looking to keep it affordable, LED is a great option, as it’s also the best for energy consumption. A level above this is OLED technology, which is still expensive as it’s a relatively new technology. Finally, there’s also the difference between a Smart TV and a ‘normal’ TV. The rise of Smart TVs is fairly recent, and there have been a lot of innovations in the space since this technology was first introduced. “If your household has an Apple TV, Telstra TV or other functionality that allows you to make it ‘smart’, then getting a Smart TV isn’t necessary for you. However, Smart TVs work well for those looking for ease of use and the interface on most is easy to navigate. Ultimately, if you watch a lot of your TV on streaming services, then a Smart TV is probably the way to go.” 57

Top tip: Richard Neale from Amber Technology suggests installing an AV hub for homes with multiple TV and audio setups. Installing one centralised controller means all devices can be managed by a single app via a smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need for an AV box in each room, as well as multiple wires connected to each device.

Smart solutions As technology moves forward homeowners have to start thinking about how ‘smart’ they want their home to be. There are many home automation solutions to choose from allowing you to control your environment.

The latest in news, trends and happenings for the home. Winter home fire safety As the temperature drops, we start using our heaters and clothes dryers and with it comes the risk of fi re. In addition to making sure you have a working fi re alarm, ACT Fire & Rescue offers some basic rules to reduce the risk of fi re when using a heater or clothes dryer: clean the lint fi lter in your clothes dryer before you use it – every time; make sure your heater is dust-free and all objects are at least 1m away; never turn on a heater or clothes dryer and leave the house; stop using your heater or dryer if it’s making unusual noises or not functioning properly; and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions especially during installation. For more information and tips on how to prepare your home for winter and ensure your safety, visit esa.act.gov.au

Reduce allergy triggers Sneezing and blowing your nose in the cooler weather could be a sign you have

allergies and not a cold, according to the National Asthma Council Australia (NACA). Common household triggers can include mould, dust mites and indoor pollutants, with NACA offering the following tips for living better with asthma and/or allergies this winter: • House dust mites like moderate temperatures and high humidity. Remove extra cushions and soft toys from beds; cover your mattress, quilt and pillows with mite-resistant cases; and don’t forget to wash sheets, pillowcases and pet bedding weekly in water 55 oC or above. • Mould needs long periods of humidity to grow, which means bathrooms and built-in robes are hotspots. Watch out for condensation; air your house regularly; seal bathroom and roof leaks, and make sure you have enough natural ventilation. • Cats and dogs are the most common cause of pet allergies, however guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, mice and rats can also trigger asthma or allergies. Keep pets out of bedrooms, off carpets and away from soft furnishings.

Buying online ACT Policing is reminding the community to be vigilant when buying or selling valuable goods, particularly via online marketplaces. Practical steps to ensure personal safety include: choose a well-lit public area that you are familiar with to exchange the goods, preferably somewhere CCTV is available; avoid meeting in vulnerable areas, such as dark car parks, playing fields, and the other person’s home; where possible, avoid meeting at your own home; and take a friend or family member with you if possible.

Remnants of the industrial brickworks at Goulburn Wetlands.

Goulburn Wetlands: A transformed space for the community Goulburn Wetlands, established in 2010 and nurtured by Friends & Residents of Goulburn Swamplands (FROGS) Landcare Inc., is a beautiful city escape, giving visitors the opportunity to relax with nature. The area was previously run as an industrial brickworks and had been abandoned for some time. Today, areas of the wetlands, including remnants of the brickworks, have been preserved for their heritage and community value. This includes a beautiful â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comprising of clinker bricks. The wetlands, located in the flood plains of Eastgrove in Goulburn NSW, play an integral role in catching and filtering stormwater run-off. Designing is underway into utilising recycled water throughout the wetland ponds to better control water levels and maintain their health. Berms containing over 2,000 tonnes of rock have been installed to slow the flow of water, maximise absorption and help filter out contaminates. There are also three leaky weirs with the same purpose. President of FROGS, Ray Shiel, said the award-winning wetlands is an example of what a community organisation can achieve alongside other valuable stakeholders, and that having a long-term vision is paramount to success. Ray went on to explain that his involvement with FROGS has been an opportunity for him 60

to contribute to the local community, especially preserving its invaluable and beautiful landscape. Ray said up to 24 volunteers maintain and continually develop the 13.5 hectare council-owned site for four hours each week, which includes a delicious and wellearned morning tea! The wetlands provide a rich food and habitat source for an array of wildlife, including no less than 130 bird species throughout the year. Visitors can observe the birdlife from three strategically placed bird hides. There are demonstration garden beds located at both main entries, established by the Australian Plant Society Southern Tablelands Group (who also propagated many of the plants on site) and designed to show people what can be achieved using native plants in their own backyards. Many of the locally occurring shrubs and trees growing at the wetlands originated from seed collected within a 40km radius of the site. Some of the Eucalypt species thriving there include: Eucalyptus amplifolia (Cabbage Gum), E. bridgesiana (Apple Box), E. elata (River Peppermint), E. gregsoniana (Wolgan Snow Gum), E. melliodora (Yellow Box), and E. pulverulenta (Silver-Leaved Mountain Gum). Grasses include both local species and those from further afield. Most are planted with 450mm spacing to ensure optimum coverage,

protection of the soil and exclusion of weeds. Several open areas with heritage value have been planted with the hardy Sierra Leone couch grass, which protects the soil and prevents weed invasion due to its vigorous nature and allelopathic qualities (biological occurrence where one plant species inhibits the growth of others). FROGS are aiming to continually increase the diversity of plant types and species at the wetlands to maintain a more balanced and healthier ecosystem. They also collect and store the locally acclimatised seed for future planting and species protection. Goulburn Wetlands are open all hours for pedestrians and offer self-guided tours and education opportunities, and a wheelchairfriendly viewing platform overlooking the main pond area.

Revival for Mawson Shops A Territory Plan variation will allow for the construction and rejuvenation of buildings and public spaces at Mawson Shopping Centre, to guide the centre’s development over the next 20 years. The variation puts “key recommendations” of the Mawson master plan into action, which includes space for a second supermarket and more residential land use. The variation also permits some increases in building heights while retaining the two-

‘Empire’ takes out top architecture award An addition to a bungalow in the Inner South suburb of Forrest has taken out the Canberra Medallion at the 2019 ACT Architecture Awards on Saturday 15 June. ‘Empire’, by Austin Maynard Architects, was designed for a family who wanted a “long-term family home that catches the sun”. The addition, two contemporary pavilions, retained the heritage of the existing home, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and detailing to create compact, contemporary additions, according to Australian Institute of Architects ACT Jury Chair, Sarah Truscott. “The architects have shown respect for Canberra’s built heritage by preserving the best of this home and creating smart additional living spaces inside and out for all seasons.” ‘Empire’ was also awarded the Gene Willsford Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions). Thirty awards were presented on Saturday, with entrants ranging from small alterations to commercial buildings and institutions. The Australian National University’s Hanna Neumann Building by Clarke Keller and dwp|design

worldwide partnership received the Enrico Taglietti Award for Educational Architecture, the W Hayward Morris Award for Interior Architecture and the Pamille Berg Award for Art in Architecture. Named award and award winners now progress to the National Architecture Awards, to be announced on 7 November.

ACT Minister for Planning and Land Management Mick Gentlemen said in a media release the redevelopment will be “important for the ongoing viability of the centre”, and would be a great opportunity for business owners within the centre to rejuvenate their buildings.

A fur-ever home for Smoky First home buyers were out in force across the country over the weekend, according to Ray White Group, who had nearly 330 auctions booked across Australia on Saturday 15 June. In the Canberra region, a young family scored a home and a pet, when they agreed to keep Smoky, the 17-year-old feline resident of their newly purchased home in Yass, NSW. 61 Cobham Street, Yass was sold under the hammer for $372,000 by Ray White Rural Canberra/ Yass agents George Southwell and Dominic Johns. The elderly owner, who was forced to sell by the bank, had asked the couple if Smoky could continue to live at the home. “Of course, the buyers said yes and Smoky will welcome them when they soon move in,” Southwell said. “Today’s result yet again shows that Yass has kicked up since the election and it is also an honour to help a young family who have decided to make Yass their home which has been a dream for them for a long time,” added Johns.
