This week...

To paraphrase Robert Duvall’s iconic quote from Apocalypse Now: I love the smell of petrichor in the morning. There’s nothing quite like the scent of those first raindrops falling on parched earth; the sound of rain pattering on the roof; the sight of long-anticipated precipitation dropping from dark clouds; the taste of fresh rain on your tongue; the feeling of cool raindrops on your skin as you run for cover or for joy – like the viral video of an Aussie farmer in his undies, gumboots and Akubra whooping in the rain.

While recent widespread rain has provided welcome relief for large swathes of our drought-prone continent, we’re warned that doesn’t mean this drought has broken. More rain, more often is required, but Mother Nature doesn’t just deliver on demand. What is clear is that our nation requires a unified approach to water management – undoubtedly the most precious shared resource in the driest habitable continent on Earth.

Reasons to be grateful of late include rain, glorious rain, poignant cinema at the British Film Festival opening night, meeting eager writing students and their teacher at Merici College, mingling with new friends and old at the Conservation Council ACT Spring Mingle on a balmy Friday night, catch-ups with friends, indulging in some quality Australian TV (Frayed, Total Control, Gruen), and my brother and niece visiting from Queensland. Bless.

New mum Kate Steen (left) has raised concern about the poor state of parents’ rooms around Canberra and would like to see them improved to better meet the needs of families.

Parents’ rooms: time for a change Becoming a parent brings with it a whole new set of challenges and when it comes to travelling with tots in tow, this can increase tenfold.

From babies who need to be fed, nappies that need constant changing, or even just a space to relax, parents’ rooms provide an important service – but are these amenities being overlooked?

New mum Kate Steen believes so. Mrs Steen welcomed her daughter Isabelle earlier in the year and previously had no need to use parents’ rooms but has since found a mixed assortment of offerings around Canberra.

“It is vital that parents’ rooms meet the needs of parents,” Mrs Steen said. “Until the culture

around men’s paid parental leave and stay-at-home parenting choices change, women will continue to make up the majority of the people who use parents’ rooms and the feeding spaces within them in particular. So this is primarily a gendered issue.”

At its most basic, Mrs Steen believes a parents’ room needs to be clean, hygienic and offer a safe place to change a baby.

“A good space will also be comfortable and have private areas for feeding, with power points for expressing and a microwave to warm milk.”

For locations that could use a little sprucing, Mrs Steen said it would be a good investment.

“If nothing else, it makes good business sense to maintain clean and comfortable facilities. From a marketing perspective, it is likely the longer the time we spend in a shop, the more money we will spend. There is minimal outlay in an armchair and a curtain but the financial return and social goodwill it could engender is priceless.”

The Australian Breastfeeding

Association (ABA) has a Baby Care Room Award program, which includes a list of essential criteria that is looked at in order to recognise a space with an award.

Megan Fox, ACT NSW Branch Office Administration Manager for the ABA, said they know there are many baby change facilities in the ACT, “but not all of those can receive one of our awards as they may not provide adequate facilities to ensure a breastfeeding mother feels comfortable to breastfeed and/or express breastmilk there”.

“We encourage venues wanting to create or improve their baby care rooms to make contact with us so that we can assist them with ideas on delivering the most comfortable and supportive environment for families when they are out and about caring for their babies and children.”

Visit breastfeeding.asn.au/ babycarerooms for more information or for a list of rooms which have been given a Baby Care Room Award.

Infrastructure lacking for sport and recreation The ACT is home to Australia’s most active adults, according to Sport Australia’s latest AusPlay survey results that identify sport and physical activity habits across the country.

AusPlay, which surveys 20,000 Australians annually, tracks how Australians engage with sport and physical activity.

In 2018/19, some 87.8% of Canberrans aged 15 or over participated in sport or physical activity at least once a week, above the national rate of 82.3%. More than two-thirds (69.1%) of ACT adults participated at least three times a week.

In terms of participation per capita across all ages, the ACT leads in football, while aggregated data from October 2015 to June 2019 also shows sport clubs are 16

the primary avenue for children’s organised activity, with almost half of Australia’s children involved in a club sport outside of school hours.

Despite the strong participation rates in the ACT, the Canberra Liberals are keen to boost grassroots sporting opportunities and have released a 10-year strategic plan called Find Your Game for the future of sport and recreation in the ACT. With more than 30 initiatives, the plan aims to unlock Canberra’s tourism, entertainment, health, education and technological sectors to enhance communitywide sports participation.

Shadow Minister for Sport and Recreation, James Milligan, said the Liberals have done some preliminary costings but are unable

to provide any firm numbers.

Mr Milligan acknowledged as it is a 10-year plan, “we recognise there is a lot of money to be spent in this area” but said their aim is to get the best value for the community and address projects on priority.

A key area is sporting facilities such as courts for netball and basketball, which Mr Milligan said haven’t been “built here for quite some time”, citing a lack of investment particularly in growth areas such as Gungahlin and Molonglo.

“Recent data shows that there is one sporting facility per 6,000 residents in Gungahlin yet compared to other areas of the ACT there is one facility per 2,5003,000 residents,” he said.

The Liberals would also like to see more ovals brought online,

suggesting the number of wellmaintained grassed and watered sporting fields are in short supply.

According to the plan, “31 ovals had irrigation switched off in 2012, only two of these have been brought back online”.

Mr Milligan said “despite the huge social, health and wellbeing benefits of sport and recreation”, a number of barriers such as prohibitive expenses, poorly maintained assets and a lack of facilities make it difficult for many people to participate.

“By removing these barriers, we will ensure more Canberrans can enjoy a sport or recreation suitable to their interests and life circumstances.”

capital hill Running for age old cover ometimes, very good results are the outcome of a politician’s panic. The Coalition Government’s precarious position before the May election led the Prime Minister into urgent damage control over appalling revelations about the treatment of frail aged Australians.

The Commonwealth has sole responsibility for the funding and regulation of the sector; Morrison needed somewhere to hide.

One of his first acts in the top job was to announce the Aged Care Royal Commission. He did it because he needed to buy time. He had just replaced Malcolm Turnbull, the government was in minority and all the opinion polls had relentlessly pointed to a coalition defeat. Most importantly, media revelations of the abuse, neglect and mismanagement of the aged care sector were simply too bad to ignore and getting worse.

Morrison announced the Royal Commission the day before the ABC’s heavily promoted Four Corners exposé was broadcast.

Other media had already been active on the case.

So, for the past 10 months we have seen and heard horrifying evidence of the extent of cruelty we already suspected. Public hearings around the nation demanded and received primetime coverage in TV news bulletins.

What has shocked the government is the no holds barred findings of the Commission in its interim report. That report had a one word title: ‘Neglect.’

It was mostly written by Richard Tracey QC. The 71-year-old barrister had been battling cancer and died as he completed it. There is no doubt he had decided time had run out for him and the system to mince words.

We wait to see now how the government reacts. The Prime Minister is promising more money for home care packages and other improvements before Christmas.

Already, $20.5 billion a year is spent on the sector. But the Commission has found the huge for-profit providers have no obligation to show how the hundreds of millions of dollars they receive is spent. We now know a lot of it goes to their bottom lines rather than to proper staffing and food.

While a lot more funding is needed, just as urgently is a redesign of the entire system. The government is bracing for those recommendations when they arrive in 12 months’ time with the final report. Tracey, before he died, spoke of the need for “transformative change”. His Royal Commission is stark evidence of this urgent need.

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

It is also a model for what is needed to keep our governments honest. The sooner we have a National Integrity Commission – a permanent Royal Commission with public hearings and the power to compel witnesses – the better.

Perversely, the government’s precarious numbers in the parliament probably means we won’t get one.

It has put up the shutters defending the beleaguered Energy Minister, Angus Taylor. It refuses to defend him on the floor of parliament by using its one seat majority (Taylor’s own vote) to shut down debate about his highly questionable behavior; something a properly set-up Integrity Commission would circumvent.

New partnership to focus on housing first The ACT Government has announced a partnership with CatholicCare and St Vincent de Paul to implement a Housing First program for chronic homelessness.

The program will support 20

individuals sleeping rough in the ACT into permanent housing, with flexible and individual assistance for as long as required. The program, which has been proven effective in the USA, allows individuals into

homes without preconditions such as employment, sobriety and no criminal history.

“Having a home is fundamental to so many parts of life. Without that security, it can be nearly impossible to improve your health or find and keep a job,” said ACT Housing and Suburban Development Minister, Yvette Berry.

“A Housing First approach will help people in our community experiencing chronic homelessness, requiring urgent assistance and unable to sustain a tenancy on their own.

“Right now, this combination of complex issues means that this group of people are cycling through crisis services or remaining homeless for long periods of time, unable to break the cycle of homelessness.”

Two specialist homelessness services, Street to Home and ASSIST, will work to support 20 people into permanent housing, with long-term supports in place.

CatholicCare CEO Anne Kirwan said a study undertaken in 2018 by the government showed a ‘stepped’ model of homelessness services did not work for people with high and complex needs, who were unable to navigate the system to move into and sustain long-term housing.

“To support this vulnerable group, we need to deliver our services differently. This partnership, where we provide the wrap-around services and Housing ACT provide the properties, will enable us to successfully assist people with high and complex needs to move into longterm housing, with the necessary support systems already in place,” she said.

Minister Berry said evidence from the USA has shown Housing First recipients are homeless for shorter periods of time than those assisted with emergency accommodation and transitional housing, while the model is reported to be a less expensive intervention than other options.

Farmer support extended The ACT Government has announced its Farmer’s Support Package has been extended into 2019/20, to help local farmers through extended dry conditions.

Chief Minister Andrew Barr said transport subsidies for eligible landowners have been increased from $20,000 to up to $40,000 for the transport of fodder, water and stock, and now includes transporting farm chemicals, fertiliser and seed to farms with unlimited distance for new applications.

Mr Barr said extending these measures would “help farmers to

get through difficult conditions and prepare for the future as the negative effects of climate change become a reality”.

Environment Minister Mick Gentlemen said low rainfall and higher than normal temperatures are continuing to impact the region’s farmers, and said $150,000 of new ACT Rural Resilience grants have been made available to support landholders to increase knowledge and skills and improve farm infrastructure.

The ACT Farmer’s Support Package was first made available to ACT rural landowners in 2018.

Library fines abolished Fines for overdue books from ACT public libraries have been abolished, and all existing fines forgiven, in a new system announced by the ACT Government.

City Services Minister Chris Steel said the aim is to encourage more people to use the ACT’s public libraries.

“We know that the majority of people who get a fine never come back to the library. It is a lose-lose, the fines don’t get paid and people stop using the library,” he said.

“Overdue fines shouldn’t stop a low-income family from

accessing our libraries that provide a connection to community and places of learning. We’ve seen in other cities where fines have been removed that borrowings have increased significantly and we’re hoping to achieve the same outcome in Canberra.”

The new system will see Libraries ACT issue a temporary suspension of library privileges until overdue items are returned or renewed, instead of the previous system of charging 25 cents a day for overdue items. The cost of lost books or resources may still be recovered.

Fitzharris joins ANU Former ACT Health Minister and MLA Meegan Fitzharris has taken on the role of Senior Fellow in Health Policy and Leadership at the ANU. “I’m passionate about health and about higher education so this opportunity to join the ANU College of Health and Medicine is really exciting,” Ms Fitzharris said.

“There are challenges and opportunities for health professionals navigating a dynamic healthcare environment. This requires leadership skills to ensure healthcare leaders can engage in 24

policy, technological and digital developments and lead teams to new ways of collaborating within and beyond the healthcare sector,” she said.

“We need to bring multiple perspectives to tackle emerging challenges in the health sector and I’ve been looking for the right person to champion this for some time,” said Professor Russell Gruen, Dean of the ANU College of Health and Medicine.

Ms Fitzharris served in the Legislative Assembly from 2015, and stepped down earlier this year.

news Positive step for mental health Construction is due to begin on a new community ‘Step Up Step Down’ mental health service which is expected to be complete in the latter half of 2020.

The service will provide short-term (2-4 weeks) residential treatment, care and support for adults with a mental illness in a community setting. This can be a ‘step up’ when someone in the community is becoming unwell and needs some additional support, or a ‘step down’ to provide a supported transition back home after a hospital admission.

ACT Minister for Mental Health, Shane Rattenbury, said

wood heater replacement program

the ACT has three established community-based residential Step Up Step Down programs and research demonstrates they have significant benefits for prevention and recovery from a mental health episode.

The model is part of a national effort to refocus mental health service delivery away from acute hospital care to community supported recovery in a home-like environment.

The Southside Community Step Up Step Down service was funded through the 2018-19 Budget as part of a broader mental health supported accommodation package.

ACT Policing is reminding Canberra drivers of their responsibilities about the correct use of bus lanes, after observing about 100 drivers committing an offence during a recent half-hour blitz.

On Thursday morning 31 October, police conducted a high visibility operation targeting the use of the bus lane city-bound on Barry Drive.

During a 30-minute period, police observed approximately

100 drivers enter the bus lane in advance of the broken white lines near the turnoff to Dryandra Street.

Road users are reminded that they are committing an offence if crossing a solid white line to move into the bus lane, and that they are only permitted to move into the bus lane where there are broken white lines.

The fine for driving in bus lane has increased to $484, and police will be targeting this offence in the coming weeks and months.

Dangerous driving A 22-year-old Turner woman was to face eight charges at the ACT Magistrates Court following a collision in Belconnen on Sunday 3 November.

The woman was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged with offences including driving with a prescribed drug in oral fluid, failing to stop, driving having never held a licence, dangerous driving, using an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, and using a number plate issued to another vehicle.

This incident comes after

three unrelated traffic incidents on 31 October where motorists were detected speeding at more than double the posted speed limits, including: a 17-year-old provisional licence holder from Franklin recorded speeding at more than 135 km/h in a 60 zone; a second vehicle also detected speeding along Belconnen Way at the same time (police investigations to identify the driver are continuing); a 29-yearold man from Amaroo detected doing 165 km/h in an 80 zone on Gungahlin Drive in Franklin.

A NEW WORLD OF FASHION

one-off column Government must declare a water emergency, says expert Politicians using drought relief to assist farmers in need are ignoring effective and long-lasting solutions to Australia’s water emergency, warns a leading expert from The Australian National University (ANU).

Professor Quentin Grafton, an Australian laureate and water economist at the ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, is calling for the Government to declare a water emergency instead of turning to short-term solutions like drought relief.

“Instead of admitting Australia faces a water emergency, political leaders prefer to use the word drought,” he said. “This is because Australia has experienced it in the past and it is ‘solved’ when the rains come. Politicians cannot be blamed for acts of nature.

“Drought relief also gives politicians the opportunity to pretend to fix the problem while showing compassion for those doing it tough.

“Income support to those who can get it is, no doubt, welcome. Unfortunately, it does not solve our water emergency. In this make-believe narrative, all blame accrues to the heavens.”

Professor Grafton’s call to arms is outlined in an article for Policy Forum co-authored with

ANU honorary professor John Williams and based on their recently published paper. They highlight sustained Government inaction as a key source of the problem.

“The current drought began in 2017, and came less than 10 years after the Millennium Drought ended. Yet the nation’s elected leaders are surprised by another major drought,” they write.

“Like rabbits on the road facing the full beam of an approaching vehicle, they seem unable to move beyond last century solutions to respond to this water emergency.

“As Rome burns, people in towns like Wilcannia on the lower Darling get their drinking water from 10-litre cartons delivered from the back of trucks.”

Professor Grafton said “rent-seeking”, “capture by special interests” and “decisionmaking that goes against the public interest” were compounding the crisis.

“For example, between 2014 and 2018, the NSW Irrigation Council had more than 25 water-related meetings with NSW Ministers, yet many non-industry and non-irrigation entities had only one meeting,” he said.

“Billions of dollars has been allocated to build water infrastructure like dams which won’t solve the problem or deliver public benefit.

“And it was poor decision-making that led to the dire situation in the Murray-Darling Basin and the massive fish kills along the Darling in January 2019.

“Australia must stop blaming the river and recognise that capture by special interests has led to this water emergency. It is not simply an act of God; it has arisen from a lack of planning and decision-making that benefit the few at the expense of the many.

“Neither drought relief nor dams are solutions.

Instead, Australia needs its political leaders to lead, to put the national interest first, and to make decisions that place people before profit.”

Policy Forum is a specialist publication based at the ANU Crawford School examining major policy challenges for Australia, the region and the world. Professor Grafton and Williams’ paper, ‘Rent-seeking behaviour and regulatory capture in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia’, is published in the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Stella Bella Children’s Centre educator Sharon Champion recently passed her Certificate III in Children’s Services at CIT. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

A Champion of child care Diversity is an important element at the Stella Bella Children’s Centre in Fyshwick with the facility encouraging people to ‘see the ability in everybody’.

This motto rings true across

the whole centre and was recently highlighted when Sharon Champion successfully passed her Certificate III in Children’s Services at CIT. Sharon has Down syndrome and, according to Stella Bella Little Stars

Foundation founder Suzanne Tunks, is the first person with Down syndrome to obtain this qualification in the ACT, and only the second in all of Australia.

Sharon has been a valued employee for two years and Suzanne said it was a deliberate decision to provide an opportunity to engage in meaningful studies and employment.

“My daughter Stella had Down syndrome … I’d been to a number of events and learnt it’s very hard for people with Down syndrome to get a job or to get a chance because people judge them,” she said.

“They have some incredible abilities and I was also aware of people that give them roles but they are just volunteers. When we had the centre, and looking at staff, I thought we had the opportunity to offer someone a job … and found Sharon.”

Sharon works at the centre

three days a week and said she enjoys being with the children, the activities and “getting involved”.

While there are some challenges, Sharon said sometimes “they (the children) don’t listen to me at all”, it has not dampened her enthusiasm for child care and she would like to pursue further training and study.

In terms of obtaining her qualifications, Sharon said she was proud of her achievements and attributed it to “I’m confident and I’m a hard worker”. This view is echoed by Suzanne who said Sharon didn’t want any special treatment during her studies and “earned it herself”.

Suzanne said they are proud to have had the opportunity to offer Sharon the chance she needed to let her skills and dedication shine and would encourage other businesses to be more openminded when employing people.

Citizen Science takes flight A first-of-its-kind citizen science project will put amateur butterfly-watchers at the forefront of research and conservation for the insect.

The Butterflies Australia Project is led by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU). Research officer Chris Sanderson says while butterflies are one of our best known insect species, there’s a serious lack of scientific data about them.

“This is crucial. In Australia there are currently eight types of butterfly listed as threatened with extinction, but experts believe as many as 38 species are potentially under threat,” Mr Sanderson said.

Anyone interested in taking part can download the app, available on both iOS and Android, to help them get started.

“We want to make it as easy as possible for people to get involved,” Mr Sanderson said. “We’ve got plenty of catching up to do. In the Atlas of Living Australia there are

currently less than 250,000 records for butterflies, compared to 40 million for birds.”

The Butterflies Australia Project is being funded by a citizen science grant from the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.

Plans to plant 17,000 trees The ACT Government is calling on Canberrans to nominate where they would like a new tree, with plans to plant 17,000 new trees across the city.

City Services Minister Chris Steel said the Government has set a tree canopy target of 30% of the city by 2045, to help mitigate climate change and keep the city cool.

“We are really keen to hear from Canberrans about where they would like to see more trees planted. Whether that’s on their

nature strip or at the local park, it’s a great opportunity to fill missing gaps where trees might have died, as well as ensuring new areas of Canberra have a good level of tree coverage,” he said.

The Government’s spring planting program has already begun, with 750 trees to be planted across Canberra, with the largest numbers to be planted in Greenway, Bonython, Chifley, Holt, Harrison, Coombs and Wright.

news CGGS shines a light on energy poverty Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS) students have put their STEM skills to the test, taking part in a workshop to put together solar lights for students in Papua New Guinea.

Working with Origin Energy’s Origin Foundation, 60 Year Four students helped to put together around 30 Solar Buddy lights, which will be distributed to people in Papua New Guinea who don’t have access to electricity.

“What the kids are doing; the lights come disassembled, so they have to follow the instructions to be able to put those lights together. And prior to doing that, they learn about renewable energy and the impacts of energy poverty,” says Origin Energy’s general manager, LPG,

Ryan Willemsen-Bell.

“So the light itself actually has a solar panel on the back, it lasts illuminated for about eight hours; so they learn about renewable forms of energy in that way, and then we talk about energy poverty and how that has an impact on people’s lives, and how many people in Papua New Guinea suffer the impacts of energy poverty, like needing to use kerosene lamps that are harmful for their respiratory systems.”

The students also wrote letters to the recipients of the lights, which will allow them to study and read after nightfall.

“It also has a safety impact for them as well, so they have a useful source of light at night.

So there are social impacts and

there are educational impacts,” Mr Willemsen-Bell says.

“The educational outcome here today is to have the students understand that they can take action. So today they’ve built 30 of these lights, and the aim is to show them that through the application of STEM, particularly for young girls, that they can see that they can have an impact, and they start by taking one step, and that step keeps

growing, and on we go.”

CGGS’s Head of Junior School, Angela Whitaker, says STEM education is critical for students to prepare them for life in the 21st Century, and that thinking globally is just “part of the ethos of the school”.

“We are very keen on our students taking action and serving the local, national and global communities.”

The Hartley Cycle Challenge has been challenging teams of cyclists to ride from Canberra to Mt Kosciuszko and return for 20 years and, in the process, raising valuable funds for Hartley Lifecare. Pictured: The tandem team in 2017. Images supplied.

Hartley Lifecare board chair Lisa Keeling, client Stephen Papps, and CEO Eric Thauvette cut the cake at the Hartley Cycle Challenge 20th anniversary event on 18 October.

Cycle challenge raises valuable funds Pedal power has raised over $5 million for Hartley Lifecare, helping to support people living with disability to live their best life.

The funds have been raised through the Hartley Cycle Challenge, an event which started in 2000 and sees teams of cyclists ride from Canberra to Mt Kosciuszko and return, a distance of 450km.

This year, the event, on 22-25 November, celebrates its 20th anniversary and one man who has been there the whole journey is Keith Speldewinde – 16 years as a cyclist, including this year, and volunteering the other four years.

A keen cyclist, Mr Speldewinde first participated in the challenge after being invited by his son’s soccer coach back in 2000.

“When he asked me if I’d like to do a ‘team time trial’ to Mt Kosciuszko and back I was on my bike in a flash. I was very young back then,” he said. But there are numerous factors that have kept him coming back over the years.

“When it comes down to it, I need look no further than the bicycle itself,” he said. “You would know what a bike looks like, but if you have a real close look you’ll see it has two wheels. One, the back wheel is powered by a chain and pedals, the other, the front, is steered by the handlebars.

“As a cyclist, I am like the back wheel. I am driven to conquer the tyranny of terrain, 36

the distance, the pain, the conditions and to work with my teammates in doing so. But as a member of the community, I am like the front wheel. I am steered by a wish to help the clients of Hartley Lifecare in meeting the challenges they have every day.”

This year, Mr Speldewinde is cycling as part of the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets team which is mostly tandem bikes with people with disabilities as stokers.

“When we became a tandem team in the last decade, I wanted to help my friends with a disability meet their additional challenges of the event,” he said.

While the event has a strong sense of community, Hartley Lifecare CEO Eric Thauvette said it also raises crucial funds for the organisation.

This year, they are hoping to raise $550,000 from the event which will go towards rebuilding the Hartley Court facility as well as a new respite house being built at Chapman.

Mr Thauvette said Hartley Court currently supports 10 permanent residents. It consists of three different houses and also provides two respite care beds that support roughly 40 families.

When Hartley Court is rebuilt, it will be just for residents, with the new facility in Chapman to provide four respite care beds as well as

feature purpose-built facilities and assistive technologies.

But, to achieve their goals, Mr Thauvette said it comes back to events such as the Hartley Cycle Challenge.

“Although you think the ride is the hard bit it’s the fundraising throughout the year,” he said. “Riding – you train for, prepare for it; fundraising – they want the best outcome but there’s hard work behind it.”

He said it is a remarkable achievement the event has lasted for so long and believes there are various reasons for its longevity, including “people are very much into cycling”, while the event also takes care of those who are helping Hartley.

Mr Thauvette said the event has become about more than “raising funds for the organisation. It has connected us to organisations and companies that want to help out in different ways”.

As at Monday 11 November, the Department of Human Services was the top fundraising team and, according to Mr Thauvette, aiming to be the highest fundraiser for the third year in a row.

news Helping women thrive after adversity

The 2019 Lifeline Canberra Woman of Spirit, Joan Andersson, founded social enterprise, Women Get It Done, to help those overcoming adversity to thrive.

“Given the right opportunity and support, there is no telling what we can achieve”.

This is the view of Joan Andersson, the 2019 Lifeline Canberra Woman of Spirit and founder of social enterprise, Women Get It Done, who is on a mission to help those coming out of adversity to thrive.

“I never gave myself credit for how far I’ve come and I never really acknowledged the hard work or commitment that I made to come this far,” she said. “I don’t see what I do as being special, or making me special, I saw a need for the community.”

Ms Andersson started Women Get It Done early this year. The social enterprise gives women coming out of custody, domestic violence and other adversity the chance to contribute to society with opportunities for training, employment and other supports.

“I was planning it for quite a while

before that … it’s something that I wanted to do since I was in custody myself 10 years ago and something I talked about with one of my support workers but I wasn’t in a position … to actually go ahead and do it at that time,” she said.

Ms Andersson, who has been impacted by substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness and incarceration, is on a mission to remove the stigma associated with these issues and meet a need in the community.

She said for those who have experienced crisis, there are no dedicated services once it is over.

“There is a large amount of crisis support in the ACT but when you complete those programs, you get to the three-month mark and they sign off on you and then there’s nothing,” she said.

Women Get It Done is designed to empower women “that you have the ability to make decisions in your own life” and to provide opportunities for employment and training.

“For me, it’s a bit of strategy.

We’ve got all these women who want to work and have all these life skills and they’ve overcome a lot of adversity in their lives,” Ms Andersson said.

While the program is connecting people with the construction industry, Ms Andersson said it is about looking at each woman individually “and saying ‘who are you, what point are you at, where do you want to go and how can we help you get there if we can’.”

She said anyone from a diverse background can access the program but “we can’t employ everyone”. Instead, she wants to create a digital marketplace to job match with businesses and community organisations.

“That’s the goal. We want to assist women to help themselves to pursue their dreams and look towards a long-term successful outcome,” she said.

As a business, Women Get It Done provide landscaping, gardening and home improvement services. A percentage of money generated goes back into the services and support provided by the business. They also have a ‘sister’ organisation, Together We Get It Done, helping men in similar circumstances.

Shared path for Flemington Road Construction has begun on a new shared path for cyclists and pedestrians, along Flemington Road between EPIC and Sandford Street in Mitchell.

The new path will provide two kilometres of 2.5 metre wide walking and cycling path on the Eastern side of Flemington Road.

Roads and Active Travel Minister Chris Steel said the ACT Government will fully fund the construction of the shared path, which will allow for easier access to the Mitchell business precinct, the two existing light rail stations at Well Station Drive and EPIC, 38

and the future light rail stop at Sandford Street.

“To ensure we can deliver this connection more quickly, we will construct the shared path in two stages with the first stage between Randwick Road and Sandford Street getting underway today,” Minister Steel said on Monday 5 November.

The first stage will include 700 metres of shared path and landscaping, and is expected to be in use early next year, while the second stage is expected to be completed in mid-2020, following further design work.

Vision Property Investment Group advertising moment

VPI SEMINAR TO BRING TOP PROPERTY EXPERTS TO CANBERRA

Vision Property Investment (VPI) Group is bringing two top property experts to Canberra for a seminar that will discuss the local property market and investing in property in the ACT. The seminar is open to everyone, namely those moving to Canberra, those looking to purchase their first home or an additional investment property, and those with a keen interest in the ACT property market.

The seminar will give people an idea of what the market is like, and what the numbers mean, as well as taking a look at ACT planning and some new developments.

VPI has invited two property experts, Dr Andrew Wilson and

Allen Zhang, to share their insights on the Canberra market.

Dr Andrew Wilson, My Housing Market’s Chief Economist, says the seminar is a great opportunity for those looking to invest in the Canberra market specifically. “[I will discuss] the general circumstances of the national housing market,” he says.

“Melbourne and Sydney, of course, are leading the charge at the moment, but we shouldn’t be

DR ANDREW WILSON Chief Economist, My Housing Market and former Chief Economist, Domain Group

surprised at that because they were the markets that suffered the most in the correction last year. I’ll explain why this is the case.”

Dr Wilson says he will also provide an insight on changes to general economic circumstances, such as cuts to interest rates, that will impact the property market. He says Canberra, in particular, is an attractive place for investors and will become more so.

“Canberra, of course, is a highyielding investment proposition. It has the highest yields of any of the capital cities, and that’s a key factor of investor interest.

“The key point is that property investment is going to become a question of yields, and those property markets with higher yields will be more attractive to investors … Markets that have a high yield such as Canberra, as well as sustainable supply and demand drivers, will become more attractive to investors,” he says.

Dr Wilson will be joined by Director of VPI Group, Allen Zhang, who will talk about Canberra in comparison to Australia’s other capital cities, current circumstances in the ACT such as why people are moving to Canberra, houses versus apartments and whether apartments can appreciate, and

the transformation of Canberra’s infrastructure.

“I believe that Canberrans are very lucky to live in this great city,” Mr Zhang says.

“Canberra has its own special magic, making those who come to the city want to settle down here due to the environment, education, convenience, culture, weather, and, most importantly, the family-oriented and relaxed lifestyle.”

Mr Zhang says the combination of the above has made Canberra one of the most liveable cities in the world, and it is now attracting more and more families from both overseas and interstate moving to call Canberra home.

“Not to mention that, as the capital city of Australia, the government has provided great support in terms of infrastructure in Canberra. Both the capital investment from the infrastructure and rapid growth of population has now created a great property investment opportunity, and will help make Canberra a better city tomorrow.”

Dr Andrew Wilson and Allen Zhang are pleased to be invited to share their insights on the Canberra property market to all Canberrans.

They are hoping to see everyone on Saturday 16 November.

SEMINAR DETAILS Dr Wilson is a renowned Independent Economist at My Housing Market and former Chief Economist of Domain Group. Dr Wilson provides comprehensive property market intelligence to industry, investor groups and the wider community. He is one of Australia's leading housing market experts. He presents property market intelligence widely to industry and investor groups around Australia. He is a highly-regarded and prolific housing market speaker and a keynote presenter for the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) and an appointed housing market expert and adviser to the Federal Government-funded Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network.

Dr Wilson holds a PhD and Masters by Research each in Housing Market Economics together with graduate qualifications in Econometrics and Construction Economics.

Dr Wilson’s experience spans senior property and construction research positions within industry, academia and government. Dr Wilson is also one of Australia’s highest profile housing market commentators, appearing regularly through a broad spectrum of print, radio, TV and online media.

Alliance Française de Canberra advertising moment

The Beaujolais has arrived!

French wine party tradition comes to Canberra Australians pause at 3pm on the fi rst Tuesday in November to watch a horse race. But in France, it is the third Thursday of this month that stops the nation.

On the third Thursday in November at one minute past midnight, the early-drinking wine Beaujolais Nouveau is officially released and France goes mad. The race is on to be the fi rst to deliver it to Paris. Restaurants welcome its arrival with banners declaring “Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!” (the new Beaujolais has arrived!).

At 6pm on 21 November (the third Thursday in November), the Beaujolais Nouveau will arrivé at Midnight Hotel, Braddon, where the Alliance Française de Canberra is hosting a Beaujolais Nouveau party to bring this French festival down south.

In the tradition of Beaujolais Nouveau parties worldwide, the easy-drinking red wine will be flowing freely, accompanied by a traditional buffet of French charcuterie (cured meats) and cheese, along with a selection of canapés. Dancing and music by Mauritian troupe, La Faya, will set the party mood and excitement will spike with the drawing of the Gala Raffle – fi rst prize: two tickets to Paris with Singapore Airlines and two nights at a 4-star hotel courtesy of Travel Makers.

The tradition of celebrating the release of Beaujolais Nouveau is relatively recent but is now a fi rm fi xture on France’s cultural calendar. It all started about 100 years ago when wineries in the Beaujolais region came up with the idea of making a cheap and

cheerful drink for farmers and staff to toast the end of the autumn harvest. Several years later, in a stroke of marketing genius, producers conceived the idea of holding a race to carry the fi rst bottles of the new vintage to Paris.

Restaurants welcomed it with banners, attracting significant media attention. By the 1970s, the race had become a national event.

The wine itself is a fresh and fruity red style made from Gamay grapes and intended to be drunk young. In fact, the wine is bottled just weeks after harvest and most vintages should be consumed by the following May after its release.

A young fruity wine, Beaujolais Nouveau is best served slightly chilled, making it perfectly suited for drinking on a warm late spring night in Canberra. What better

way to kick off the Australian festive season than with a wine celebration party – marrying France’s wine party tradition with Australia’s slide into the summer holidays.

Just Desserts by Charlotte Ree, Published by Plum, RRP $29.99, Photography by Luisa Brimble, Styling by Lee Blaylock.

Serves: 12 120g unsalted butter, at room temperature 220g caster sugar 2 large eggs, at room temperature 300g self-raising flour

Preheat your oven to 160°C fan forced.

150ml full-cream milk

Combine avocado oil, almond milk, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla into a bowl. Add the baking powder, cocoa and almond meal and mix through until combined. Bake for 45 minutes until cooked then remove from the oven to cool.

1 tsp strawberry essence

Combine frosting ingredients until smooth then ice the cake generously.

Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

250g Ruby Chocolate Callebaut callets

Rose pink food colouring 2 Tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted 1 tsp vanilla bean paste Shredded coconut, for decorating Ganache

1 Tbsp softened butter

Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and beat lightly to combine. Alternately add half of the flour and milk, then repeat and beat until just combined.

Divide the batter among three small bowls.

To one, add a few drops of pink food colouring and the strawberry essence. To another, mix in the sifted cocoa powder.

To the third, add the vanilla. Using a tablespoon of batter at a time, spoon the batter into the prepared tin, alternating among the three colours. Use a skewer to marble the batter, then bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the ganache, melt the chocolate callets in a double boiler, or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Add the butter and stir to create a wetter, silkier ganache. If you can’t get your hands on Ruby Chocolate, which can be found at specialty stores or online, simply make a milk, dark or white chocolate ganache instead.

Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and top with shredded coconut. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,

cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until thoroughly combined.

cover star

Gently incorporate the flour in three batches, alternating with the milk in two batches. Add the salt and mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.

Divide the batter among the cake tins. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of each cake comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 15 minutes before turning onto a wire rack, upside down, to cool completely. Cover and set aside.

For the ganache: Pour the cream into a small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil (there should be bubbles all over the surface, not just around the edge). Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until there are no lumps. Stir in the pink colouring until the desired shade is reached. Set the ganache aside until it cools and thickens slightly. If needed, briefly chill it in the fridge (for about 5-10 minutes), then stir again until smooth. Once the ganache has reached the right consistency, transfer it to a wide, shallow dish.

To decorate: Put the coconut in a wide, shallow dish.

Gently dip one of the cake layers into the pink ganache, ensuring even coverage, then dip into the coconut. Place the cake on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until

set. Repeat with the remaining cake layers.

Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

Place the bottom cake layer on a cake stand or plate.

Dollop a generous amount of whipped cream on top and spread it over the cake. Stud the cream with the raspberries. Spread a little more whipped cream on top to help secure the next cake layer.

Add the second cake layer and top with more cream and raspberries. Gently place the third cake layer on top.

Canberra-made film unleashes The Furies It seems locally written, developed, filmed and produced feature-length films that receive international releases might just be becoming more commonplace in the nation’s capital.

Even a decade ago, it’s a notion might have been sneezed at or met with incredulity.

Yet today (7 November), The Furies, a slasher film written and directed by Tony D’Aquino that was developed as part of Screen Canberra’s accelerator pod program, receives its domestic release, having already been screened at several film festivals around the world.

This is D’Aquino’s first featurelength film, having graduated from film school in 1995. Since then he says he’s made many television commercials and short films.

The opportunity to make his feature-length debut came about through Screen Canberra’s accelerator pod program.

“When I read about that program, they were seeking low-budget genre projects, I love horror and am obsessed with genre films and thought it was a perfect opportunity,”

he tells Canberra Weekly.

“Since then, it’s been everything I wanted it to be, an amazing experience. The film has done incredibly well and I’ve got to get into some festivals that were lifelong goals.”

D’Aquino describes his movie as an entertaining, exciting, fullthrottle horror-slasher that depicts a number of violent deaths.

He says in making The Furies, he consciously tried subvert the genre’s stereotypical depiction of the female as victim, instead making his female lead a powerful character who drives the film’s narrative.

“It’s very much an updated horror, and to address some of the problems with the slasher films of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as they did become quite sexist and misogynistic.

“The female characters all have their own agency, all behave sensibly, do what they need to do to survive, and no one is waiting for a man to rescue them.”

The Furies was shot in and around Canberra, and utilised a little known, abandoned tourist site just

outside of town at Bywong, NSW. “We found this great, amazing location which is the Bywong Gold Town … It was built as a tourist attraction on an old gold mining town in the 1970s,” D’Aquino says.

“I believe it went broke and the owners walked away, leaving everything there. That town was left to rot and is surrounded by 60 acres of ghost gum forest, which was basically our own studio backlot.”

D’Aquino says the proximity of the city and the bush was a

godsend for the production.

“Having something like that so close to a city like Canberra was so valuable to us … It’s so much easier to film (in Canberra) compared to a city like Sydney or Melbourne.

“Access, parking, dealing with councils is all just so easy; everything is a lot easier in Canberra,” he says.

Even given how accommodating D’Aquino found Canberra as a filming location, he says their schedule was still tight, as they shot everything in just 20 days.

“It was pretty tight for the amount we had to do, given the film is heavy on practical effects and stunts.

“It was excruciatingly tight and full throttle, nerve-racking. But we got it done because we had an amazing, crew, staff and team.”

This is the first film to emerge from Screen Canberra’s accelerator development pod. D’Aquino says the experience of completing the program was “fantastic”.

“You get to have masterclasses with people overseas, talk about what sells internationally, and the state of the market. Just being with a group of people, talking about film and pitching ideas was fantastic.”

The Furies is in cinemas from 7 November.

The Sounds of Shakespeare to grace ANU’s amphitheatre The local company making Shakespeare more accessible and engaging for Canberrans is back this summer, with new venues on board and new works in tow.

Lakespeare & Co. co-founder Taimus Werner-Gibbings tells Canberra Weekly that Sounds of Shakespeare will be “an hour of Shakespeare power” with scenes from Hamlet, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Cymbeline, Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night.

“We wanted something they could relate to, the scenes, quotes, lines or phrases they’ve heard before, and also provide a demonstration of the quality of work we’ve performed in our previous seasons of Twelfth Night and Much Ado.” Sounds of Shakespeare is the

54

company’s first ticketed event, taking place at the picturesque ANU Amphitheatre at Kambri on 10 November.

It sold out within days of being made public, which WernerGibbings says is a very motivating and validating result for the company.

“We don’t have a reliable base on income, because our tent pole performances are free, so it’s a really good feeling to know that people are willing to support us by selling out our paid performance so quickly.”

Werner-Gibbings says having the purpose-built Kambri ANU Amphitheatre on board as a venue is a coup for the company, and will be a delight for both performers and attendees.

“It’s a different way of performing

with a much more theatrical aspect opposed to what we do on lawns.

“Our actors will have the opportunity to perform in this modern, comfortable concrete and grass fixture with eyelines from everywhere.

“Instead of yelling to the audience of over 2,000 people, the actors will be able to see everyone there,” Werner-Gibbings says.

Over the last two summers, Lakespeare & Co. have toured their free, outdoor ‘Shakespeare by the Lakes’ events to various public

venues across Canberra.

Their cast comprises Lakespeare & Co. actors Christopher Stollery, Lainie Hart, Christopher Samuel Carroll and Lexi Sekuless, and new members Bojana Kos and Damon Baudin – all of whom have strong ties to Canberra.

Lakespeare & Co.’s 2020 Shakespeare by the Lakes season will see the company perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with their 2020 season dates still to be announced.

Flight Memory prepares for take off

Flight Memory performers Michelle Nicolle and Liam Budge are excited to challenge themselves creatively with interdisciplinary roles in The Street’s upcoming production.

Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

Later this month, The Street Theatre will premiere a work that’s at once both very local and yet globally significant.

Flight Memory captures the life-changing invention of the black box through a song suite celebrating Australia’s creativity and inventor David Warren’s remarkable scientific achievements.

Directed by acclaimed opera director Caroline Stacey, the cast features multi-award-winning performers Michelle Nicolle, Liam Budge and Leisa Keen, supported by a six-piece ensemble of Canberra’s finest musicians, including Jess Green and Brendan Clarke.

ARIA-nominated composer, Sandra France, and Helpmann award-winning lyricist and playwright, Alana Valentine, paired up to write the work.

Budge says the work not only covers Warren’s life, but is also a discussion about the way new ideas are received in Australia.

“It’s an inquiry into his life, the way he came up with the invention, how it was received in Australia through the lens of Australian culture, acceptance and tall poppy.

“During his lifetime he was an unsung hero; it wasn’t until much later that he started to get accolades.”

Nicolle tells Canberra Weekly this work is about much more than just a flight box recorder.

“It’s about Australia and the way we treat our artists, our scientists, and our creative people more broadly.”

Budge says that, as a musician, the performative aspect of his role presents an exciting challenge for him.

“I’ve never done any drama work before … This is jumping in the deep end for me.

“Thinking about the very challenging music, which is lots of fun, and also the words, the dialogue and the choreography has been a great challenge.”

Having gone to school in Canberra and attended ANU, Budge spent the past six years living in New York before returning home.

“I got back to Australia two weeks before we started rehearsals, so as soon as I got back I buried myself into the music.

“It’s the perfect way to get back into being creative in Australia; I feel the strong Canberra connections with this work. There is a great artistic community in Canberra,” Budge says.

Mackenzie Davis stars alongside Linda Hamilton in Terminator: Dark Fate.

Now showing

We are inviting couples to tour our beautiful venue by appointment on

Sunday 17 November, 3pm to 5pm

with a female cast.

Mackenzie Davis (Tully) is fantastic in the protector role.

Davis’s Grace is human but enhanced to go toe-to-toe with the new threat against Dani.

It is a pity that legacy stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger return, robbing the movie of any sense of threat and Davis’s chance to shine.

While the first act (shown extensively in the trailer) is absolutely fantastic, the second lags and the third descends into ridiculousness with questionable gender politics. While trying to reboot the franchise, the movie borrows extensively from the entries that it tries to ignore.

Verdict: A disappointing and disingenuous effort for equality from male writers. It is doubtful that another entry will be back.

1.5 stars.

Terminator: Dark Fate (MA15+) Twenty-two years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, we are in Mexico where we meet Dani (Natalia Reyes Gaitán) going about her day in the local factory. Enter a new and improved terminator with one thing on his mind.

The Terminator (1984) was a simple sci-fi horror that set up, and completed, a causal loop. 1991’s T2 moved the series into the sci-fi action genre and changed special effects in cinema forever. James Cameron leased out the rights to the franchise at this point, which saw T2 be essentially remade with Terminator 3 (2003) and a failed trilogy starter in both the dour Terminator Salvation (2009) and the comic book, fan-fictionlike Terminator Genisys (2015).

Returning to produce, James Cameron sets the movie after T2, ignoring the further sequels in an effort to reboot the franchise

Speaker, Anne Melville CSB from New Zealand is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Brazilian television will be on hand to document the event, for their 13-part series Lost and Found, a celebration of the work done by audiovisual archives and associated bodies around the world.

Based on a novel by Dorothy Cottrell, Orphan is the story of Chut, an orphaned joey who is found and reared by a farming family. Sold to a travelling circus, Chut becomes a boxing kangaroo.

He is mistreated, ultimately attacking his trainer in the boxing ring. He escapes, and in the resulting hue and cry, Chut is saved and ultimately restored to his original owners.

Filmed entirely in the studio where an extensive bushland setting was recreated with live animals, director Ken G. Hall recalled that the film was “a joy to make”.

Cinesound was an Australian production company from 1931 to 1940, and Cinesound films were released for television in the 1970s, but Orphan was not included, so the film has never been seen on television nor released in consumer formats.

Ray Edmondson, Curator Emeritus of the NFSA, first became intrigued by the film at a matinee screening at a Sydney suburban cinema around 1956.

The film awakened a curiosity, eventually leading to his career at the NFSA and friendship with director Ken G. Hall. Join Ray and

Drawn to politics Hawkie! Drawn to politics: four decades of Bob Hawke cartooning brilliance is a collection of 70-plus artworks and cartoons from Australia’s best cartoonists and satirists (with the odd New Zealander thrown in), which chronicle the political career of the late Australian Prime Minister, Bob Hawke.

At Hotel Kurrajong from 30 November, the display showcases his early career, spanning his early days with the ACTU to becoming Australia’s 23rd Prime Minister in 1983.

During his time as PM, Hawke recorded the highest popularity rating ever measured by an Australian opinion poll, reaching 75% approval in 1984.

In a recent survey conducted by the Australian Cartoonists’ Association, the nation’s cartoonists voted for Bob Hawke as their favourite Prime Minister to draw. Hawkie won with 28.5% of the vote; Tony Abbott came second on 23%; both John Howard and Julia Gillard came in equal third place.

Among the featured artists: Warren Brown, Bill Mitchell, Sean Leahy, Bill Leak, Alan Moir, Eric Löbbecke, ‘Jeff’ Hook to name but a few.

A vision in white, Franklin attended the Nude By Nature 10th anniversary event in March in a simple white silk dress. This style echoes that of the look she brought out for last year’s Brownlow Medal.

Pretty in pink, Jesinta wowed when she arrived at the Moët Imperial 150th Anniversary Event in a strapless, flowing pink gown. She kept the rest of her look simple, sporting only her engagement and wedding rings and some stud earrings.

Jesinta Franklin attended the Myer 2019 Spring Style Edit event in August in an electric blue silk dress.

The model announced in August that she and her husband, Sydney Swans star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin, are expecting their first child.

CW loves!

Again in a strapless gown, Franklin arrived at the races at Royal Randwick in April, pairing her embellished dress with a pair of pointed toe pumps.

A lover of the white silk dress, Jesinta wore this slip dress to the Tiffany & Co. Flagship Store launch in Sydney in April. She accessorised with statement earrings and bangles, and changed up her usual hair style for a more edgy look.

Another pink look, this time for the Magic Millions Raceday at the Gold Coast Turf Club in January. We love her small handle bag and her subtle take on raceday headwear.

At the Mercedes-Benz Sydney Women in Business Luncheon, Jesinta gave us a paired back business look, with a simple black suit and pumps.

Taking care of ‘tradie hands’ What do you do when you can’t find the perfect hand cream? You make your own, obviously!

That’s the route Maree Gregory took in 2016, when her son Jake, a plumber, couldn’t find the right product to look after his ‘tradie hands’ after contracting cellulitis in his arm.

“He was on a course of antibiotics for 10 days, which didn’t work,” she says. “The bottom line was, if the [antibiotics] IV drip in hospital didn’t work … he’d have to have his arm amputated to stop the infection.

“Luckily, the drip worked for him, and he was sent home with a stern warning to always maintain good hand health – no nicks or cuts.”

Along with Jake’s partner, Belinda, Maree set about finding him a hand cream to help with this, trying a huge range, none of which would do the job.

“Because tradies are actually quite fussy I’ve found out, very fussy in fact,” Maree smiles. “They hate the greasiness, they want it to soak in straight away and just get on with the job.”

Maree decided to make her own formula, mixing up a combination of ingredients, including shea butter and jojoba oil, before sending it to a compounding pharmacy to perfect the formula.

She launched the Aussie Man Hands website last year to sell to the public, after finding a skincare company to manufacture the tradie-approved formula.

“Jake started using it, his mates started to ask for it, and it just basically went from there,” she says.

“Shopify tell me that from my product launch last year, I’m in their top 11%, so I was really happy with that.

“I’m 61, so I never planned to

muscle magic

start a little business, but it kind of found me just because there was nothing out there.”

And it’s not just for ‘Aussie man’ hands either! Maree says she has seen a lot of interest in the product from nurses, hospitality workers, hairdressers, florists and, of course, ‘lady tradies’. She also says the product would be great for avid gardeners and farmers.

“Our ‘tradie ladies’ have been a real surprise, which is great.

“I’m actually talking to the [manufacturer] about doing the ‘women’s version’, which will be the same formulation, the same repair cream, but … it’s just going to have hopefully a coconut and lemongrass fragrance.

“This is just like a basic, no-fuss, throw-in-the-glovebox [hand cream].

It’s $20, so it’s not going to break the bank. And it really is a fabulous little hydrating repair cream.”

Maree Gregory created Aussie Man Hands after her ‘tradie son’ couldn’t find the right hand cream to look after his hand health.

Gucci gang

As far as we’re concerned, Yara Shahidi can do no wrong. She is an absolute vision in this shimmery golden-yellow gown by Gucci.

The multi-talented Donald Glover’s skills extend to the fashion department as well.

He arrived in a statement Gucci jacket and shirt with a bow, finished off with burgundy loafers.

Actor John Hamm kept it simple and classic in a black tuxedo, by Gucci of course!

Big Little Lies star Laura Dern stunned in a black dress by Gucci, complete with intricate lace detailing.

Queen of casual-cool, singer Billie Eilish donned her trademark oversized-wear for the occasion, in, you guessed it, Gucci!

You’d expect an event presented by Gucci to be nothing short of the ultimate in glamour, and that’s exactly what we got from the celebrity looks at the 2019 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art + Film Gala over the weekend.

How much water should you drink a day?

The answer: probably more than you do! There are a range of opinions; however, drinking twoand-a-half to three litres a day (10 to 12 glasses) seems to be the general consensus. The average Australian drinks a measly 1.3 litres of water a day, and therefore lives in a state of chronic dehydration. Keep in mind the recommended two to three litres is only an average and, depending on the season, climate, your physique and your activity levels, you might need to drink significantly more than that.

If you wait until you’re thirsty before you have a drink, your body is already significantly dehydrated.

Common symptoms of dehydration can include: • Fatigue • Dizziness • Mood swings • Muscle cramps • Difficulties concentrating • Dry skin • Headaches • Body aches • Bad breath

So, if you experience any of these symptoms, drinking more water could be the simplest and easiest solution (pardon the pun). It’s certainly worth trying and seeing how your body responds.

Water makes up around 60% of your body weight and every cell, tissue and organ in your body depends on water for optimal function.

Water helps your body eliminate toxins through urination, perspiration and bowel movements (if your urine is clear or light coloured it’s a good indication your water intake is adequate). Water also helps you regulate your body temperature, lubricate and cushion joints, and protect sensitive tissues.

Eating more fruit and vegetables can also help with hydration, especially melons and spinach which are almost 100% water by weight.

Whilst beverages like juice, coffee and tea are also included in your total intake of fluids, the best and healthiest source is water itself, especially if you can access filtered water.

In traditional medicine, especially Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional medicine system from India), it’s best to avoid drinking a lot

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

with meals as it inhibits your body’s ability to digest. Additionally, it’s best to drink water that is at an ambient temperature rather than chilled, although drinking cool liquids in the warmer months and warmer fluids in the colder months is probably even more beneficial.

Finally, it’s possible to drink too much water so don’t think that if three litres is good then 15 litres must be better! Drinking too much water too quickly (in excess of one litre an hour) can dilute the sodium concentration in your blood, so by all means stay hydrated but don’t go crazy.

Cult A-Beauty brand, Sand & Sky, has launched their latest offering for skincare with native Australian ingredient, Emu Apple.

Emu Apple is “packed full of antioxidants and rich in vitamin C”, and purportedly works to brighten, plump and protect the skin. The new range includes the Emu Apple, Riberry and Pepperberry, along with Kakadu Plum, to boost the skin’s glow and hydration. The range consists of the super bounce mask and the dreamy glow drops. Sand & Sky shot to prominence with the launch of their Australian Pink Clay products to a waitlist of over 17,000 people. Sand & Sky has since seen over 1 million of their products sold worldwide.

Super bounce mask $93.90 and dreamy glow drops $74.90, sandandsky.com

Healthy hearing Hearing Australia is urging all Australians to have their hearing checked to remain “connected to the people, sounds and activities they love”. Hearing Australia says good hearing plays a significant role in helping people stay active, happy and involved in the world around them, and National Acoustic Laboratories’ Dr Melanie Ferguson says there is a “clear association between hearing loss and psychosocial aspects, such as social isolation and loneliness”.

in the garden

Suburban permaculture at its best Cally Brennan and her family have been living at their home in Cook for the past five years. It was specially selected because of its block size (850sqm), north-facing living areas, and location; being closer to the local shops gives them the flexibility to walk and ride more, and drive less.

There is a diverse mix of perennial and annual plants, both edible and ornamental (from original plantings).

The long-term plan is to create a permaculture-style food forest – the variety of plants will foster a more resilient and pest-resistant garden.

get a headstart on growing food, a series of wicking beds made from converted intermediate bulk containers were set up on the former circular driveway in the front yard. These water-saving beds help overcome the challenge of growing plants in the vicinity of a very large gum tree.

The backyard, which was originally lawn, is now designated productive space, including annual and perennial vegetables and herbs, and at least 30 fruit and nut trees. Two sunken veg beds have been added, designed to absorb and retain the maximum amount of water. A series of culvert, French and agricultural drains have also been installed to maximise water harvest potential. The plan is to direct any overflow back into the stormwater system.

As is classically permaculture, all veg, herb and companion plants are left to self-seed and reproduce. The flowers of many are also attractive to beneficial insects, birds and other wildlife.

Some of the many examples are garland chrysanthemum (Asian leafy green), ruby mustard (flowers have a wasabi flavour), parsley, wild rocket, cultivated forms of yarrow, mangelwurzel (heirloom foraging beet) and gai lan (Chinese broccoli).

Among the vast array of fruit and nut trees growing are six avocado trees, currently in pots.

Once established, three will be planted into the garden adjacent to a concreted area for warmth in winter, and three will be kept in pots as backup, giving Cally the ability to move them indoors when it’s cold.

Harvest for the year so far is an impressive 320kg. This includes 70kg of tomatoes and 30kg of tomatillos! The family have been eating their way through a sizeable stash of passata and other delectable

WITH HORTICULTURIST TRACEY BOOL traceyboolgardenwriter.com

preserves, stored in what used to be a fancy underground wine cellar.

Cally said that once they convert their current garage space into more growing area, her goal is to harvest a staggering one tonne of food!

About Cally: Cally grew up in a gardening family in the UK and has always been interested in plants; her grandfather was a participant in the Dig for Victory Gardens campaign in WWII. She joined Permablitz Canberra nine years ago, where she developed a passion for permaculture and experimenting with different ways of growing food. Cally has since completed her certificate in permaculture design and now runs regular workshops and does urban permaculture designs.

Googong gets smart The NSW township of Googong is set to get ‘smarter’, after the developers and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) were awarded a $1.1 million grant from the Federal Government’s Smart Cities program.

The grant funds will be used to establish Googong as a “high-tech” neighbourhood, with 5G ready ‘smart poles’ to be installed in the newest stages of Googong, including the main commercial centre, the second residential neighbourhood and key public areas, by June 2020.

Googong project director Malcolm Leslie said Googong would be one of the first towns in Australia to have smart technology built in from the ground up.

“The smart poles have the capability to be seamlessly fitted with network infrastructure to provide

services such as free public Wi-Fi, digital wayfinding and surveillance cameras. They will also enable council to remotely manage key services like waste management, car park usage, irrigation, lighting, barbecues and security,” Mr Leslie said.

“This is the way of the future.

Instead of sending trucks to Googong to check when bins need emptying or if a street light has a fault, Council will know immediately and assign resources accordingly.”

The first element of the smart city infrastructure has already been installed: a smart wind turbine and solar powered pole.

QPRC Mayor Cr Tim Overall said Googong would be a “blueprint to help other developers in the future”.

Plan suggests entertainment hubs, higher noise levels The ACT Government will pilot higher noise levels in parts of the City over summer and the festive season, in a bid to strike a balance between Canberra’s nightlife and the residents living in these areas.

Other options are also being explored as part of the Entertainment Action Plan, including designated entertainment hubs to encourage live music, through higher noise limits, land use planning, soundproofing and building design.

Planning Minister Mick Gentlemen said Canberra’s nightlife is a “major driver” of jobs and economic growth for the ACT, and that the Government had heeded the call from local music, hospitality and building industries for “greater

certainty” around noise regulations.

Earlier in the year, the development application for a hotel in Garema Place sparked concern about noise complaints and calls for an overhaul of noise laws in the City.

“We will review the community and business response and the pilot results will provide a case study to inform future entertainment hubs across the Territory,” Mr Gentleman said.

A progress report into the development of the plan is due to the Legislative Assembly in July next year. The National Capital Design Review Panel has already been tasked with considering “acoustic amenity” when reviewing new developments.

development approval system, increasing building taxes, and complex planning regulations.”

Mr Hopkins said that while Master Builders welcomed the release of the ACT Infrastructure Plan, they are urging the ACT Government to bring forward projects to support local industry and Canberra’s growth.

Master Builders ACT says approvals for new dwellings have declined by 22.4% over the past 12 months. File image.

ACT Building approvals decline Total building approvals are down 6.7% on last year’s figures, according to Master Builders ACT. Citing ABS figures, Master Builders ACT CEO Michael Hopkins said commercial building work has declined by 12.9% and total new dwellings approved has declined by 22.4%, defying the national trend of growth.

“The fact that ACT’s building approvals are declining while the rest of Australia is growing

can be explained by local factors,” Mr Hopkins said.

“The 2019-20 ACT Budget forecasted a gradual decline in capital works funding from close to $1 billion in 2016-17 to $581 million in 2022-23, leaving local contractors with the capacity to deliver more education, health and other commercial infrastructure.

“Residential approvals are being impacted by a range of factors including delays in the

Magnificence in Murrumbateman Murrumbateman NSW 15 West Street This grand home in the NSW village of Murrumbateman is the real deal, oozing country charm from every corner of the approx.

2,023 sqm block.

“This beautiful brick family home is owned by locals who have owned and operated a successful business for the past 15 years and are selling to retire down the coast,” says Ray White Rural Canberra | Yass licensed real estate agent and stock and station agent, George Southwell.

With two dwellings on the block, the main house plus a separate selfcontained unit, Southwell says this home would suit a range of buyers.

“This home would be ideal for a young growing family or retirees with the separate two-bedroom unit being perfect for a teenager or extended family member,” he says.

The main house boasts four bedrooms; the sunny master is private, with an ensuite with spa bath and walk-in robe. A three-way main bathroom and separate toilet service the rest of the home – two bedrooms with built-in robes and another that’s currently being used as an office, with built-in shelving and desk and NBN connection. The kitchen truly is the heart of this charming home, with an island bench and electric

cooking, connecting to the formal lounge and dining areas at the front of the house.

You can expect year-round comfort at 15 West Street, with ducted gas heating, a split system in the lounge, dining and kitchen, electric hot water and a laundry with outdoor access. The property is connected to the Town sewerage system, and each tap in the house can be run off Town or tank water.

The separate two-bedroom unit, nestled in the gardens, features a lounge area as well as a bathroom, laundry and kitchen with electric appliances.

Outside, the manicured gardens at both the front and the back of the home are an absolute delight, with an in-ground and under-deck watering system for ease of maintenance, a raised deck and a paved arbour draped in wisteria.

“The property boasts spectacular manicured gardens and lawns with established gums, deciduous trees and numerous hedges,” Southwell says.

“Complementing the immaculate garden is the deck which wraps around three sides of the home overlooking the garden to create an entertainers’ delight.”

The vast outdoor space on this beautiful block is complete with a single car garage, under-house storage room and plenty of off-street parking.

All this, and more, is located just shy of Canberra and the surrounding region, and Southwell says the property’s location is an easy commute for those working in the ACT. “The property is located in the Murrumbateman village making it an easy 35-minute drive to the Canberra CBD.”

Moneyball

Friday, 7MATE, 10.55pm, M (2011)

Writers Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian have crafted a great screenplay telling the story of a Major League manager (Brad Pitt, pictured), his drive to win, and the way a nerdy number-cruncher (Jonah Hill) helped him turn around their team’s fortunes.

Well-paced and featuring compelling performances, it’s a gripping story about overcoming the odds.

Friday

pick of the week Toy Story 3 Sunday, 9GO!, 6.30pm, G (2010)

The animation wizards at Pixar (Up, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles) once again take audiences to infinity and beyond with this long-awaited sequel that’s just as witty and heartfelt as its beloved predecessors.

Funny, inventive and expertly merging comedy and adventure with true emotion, Toy Story 3 is yet another masterpiece from the leading force in animation.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Saturday, 9GO!, 8.50pm, M (2015)

After the slow buildup of Part 1, the series returns with a taut and stylish ending. Jennifer Lawrence (pictured) commands the screen as Katniss, the reluctant heroine.

With the war on Panem growing to other districts, Katniss must band together an army against the evil Snow (Donald Sutherland). A smart and thoughtful franchise finale.

celebrity birthday

RADHA MITCHELL 12 November 1973

Radha’s year ahead is ruled by the powerful planet Mars, often associated with the god of war and arguments. How she uses her energies will determine how well things go for her.

Challenges, accidents and mishaps are likely as this will be an impulsive year and the intensity of the energies may make her want to move forward a little too quickly and make it difficult to see others’ viewpoints. She must slow down and be conscious of both her speech and actions.

Farming (MA15+) Between the 1960s and 1980s, thousands of Nigerian children were fostered to white families in the UK. This practice was called ‘farming’.

Based on his own incredible autobiographical story, writer director Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje’s Farming (MA15+) follows a young Nigerian boy as he is drawn into the warper world of a racist skinhead gang in 1980s England. Enitan is a young boy “farmed out” by his parents to a white British family in the hope of giving him a better future. Caught between two worlds and belonging to neither, Enitan’s need for love and acceptance is exploited by the adults in his life.

In select cinemas from 21 November.

Canberra Weekly has 5 x Farming in-season double passes (valued at $40 each) to be won.

LIGHTERS

My favourite things

An avid collector – from stamps to web domains – Joan says the lighters are cheap to collect but provide “excitement of finding one that goes in the collection you haven’t got”. They also represent “out of the dark and into the light for me”.

DRESS

“That is a dress I’ve had for many, many years. It reminds me of the beach, of times in my life prior to the bad stuff, it reminds me of a time I was happy, free and young.”

POWER TOOLS

Photos Kerrie Brewer

Joan loves her power tools with her drill used most. “I feel confident when I’m using them. I feel empowered when I’m using them.”

Joan Andersson

PERFUME

Lifeline Canberra Woman of Spirit

Joan Andersson is the 2019 Lifeline Canberra Woman of Spirit, acknowledged for her resilience and dedication to improving herself and supporting others. Joan grew up within Children of God – a cult known for exploitation of children – and was taken into state care at age 12.

She has been impacted by substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness and more. Earlier this year, she started Women Get It Done, a social enterprise that gives women coming out of custody, domestic violence and other adversity the chance to contribute to society with opportunities for training, employment and other supports.

In receiving the award, Joan said it provided an opportunity for reflection. “I never really gave myself credit for how far I’ve come and I never really acknowledged the hard work or commitment that I made to come this far,” she said.

- Allison Turnbull

“This is the only perfume I use,” Joan said, acknowledging it is symbolic of change, and she also loves the smell. It was the first thing she bought for herself when she came out of AOD (Alcohol and Other Drug) recovery.

“They said put aside the money that you would ordinarily spend on drugs and buy yourself something nice with it.”

YELLOW “I bought the Homer shoes because they made my kids laugh, they were yellow and bright … the cardigan goes with them.

I’m very much a believer of the colour that you use can change your mood.

Waking up to a bright yellow jumper and my Homer shoes I just feel light and happy. I feel inspired for the day.”
