This week...

From the editor Most years, I eagerly await the announcement of the Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year. Past honourable mentions include shirtfront (2014), captain’s call (2015) and Me Too (2018). The 2019 word/lexical unit is “cancel culture”. It refers to “the attitudes within a community which call for or bring about the withdrawal of support from a public figure, such as cancellation of an acting role [think Kevin Spacey, Craig McLachlan, Roseanne Barr], a ban on playing an artist’s music [think Michael Jackson, R. Kelly], removal from social circles [Prince Andrew], etc., usually in response to an accusation of a socially unacceptable action or comment”.

Runner-up words this year include “eco-anxiety: feelings of agitation or fear brought on by the effect of climate change” and a Pitjantjatjara word, “ngangkari: an Indigenous practitioner of bush medicine; healer”. Votes for the people’s choice word can be cast at macquariedictionary.com.au Reasons to be grateful this past week include thousands turning out for the Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s scintillating Shell Prom concert on the lush lawns of Government House, fantastic food, exciting entertainment and charming company at the Peruvian Ambassador’s table at the Latin American Flavours Festival, interesting cinema at the Greek Film Festival, Tammy’s Thanksgiving party by the lake, my six-monthly skin check, and a fun, surprising afternoon tea in the CW office on Friday.

news New CIT campus, transport interchange for Woden Construction of a new, state-of-the-art Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) campus in the Woden Town Centre will commence next year, the ACT Government announced on Thursday 28 November.

Slated to be operational by the middle of the 2020s, the campus will complement a new Transport Canberra interchange in Woden.

Both facilities will be built on land adjacent to the site of the existing Woden Bus Station and the former Woden Police Station site.

CIT Woden will have a focus on cyber and technology qualifications and service skills.

It is estimated 6,500 students will use the campus that will have 20,000sqm gross floor area (GFA) on a 5,000sqm site.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr, flanked by Labor MLAs Chris Steel and Bec Cody, at the Woden Town Centre announcement on Thursday 28 November.

That will make it the second largest CIT Campus in the ACT, both in terms of student numbers and size of facility, behind the Bruce campus.

CIT CEO Leanne Cover welcomed the decision.

“The prospect of a new, state-of-the-art CIT campus is incredibly appropriate for the advancement of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Canberra and the region,” she said.

CIT’s Reid campus will continue to operate for at least the next five years, until the new Woden facility is built.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the Government will also look at community facilities that can be co-located on campus prior to its construction.

“This is primarily a project about expanding VET, but some of its ancillary benefits will be around Woden Town Centre renewal.

“The detail of that work is underway and will continue over the coming months, then we will have a final project to go to procurement that will meet all of CIT’s needs, so that’s first and centre.”

Mr Barr said the exact cost of the project will be known once they’ve fully determined the campus’s provisional requirements.

Since June 2013, 1,635 Australian Public

Service jobs have either been moved out of Woden or cut by the federal government.

To counterbalance this, the ACT Government relocated Access Canberra to Woden in 2016, ACT Health in 2015, and upgraded Phillip Oval.

Mr Barr said the ACT Government will continue to invest in the previously neglected town centre with more projects in the pipeline, including the $500 million SPIRE expansion at Canberra Hospital, a new Woden community centre, a new nurse-led walk-in centre in Weston Creek, and the extension of light rail to Woden.

He rejected the claim his government is for the northside of town at the expense of those living south of Lake Burley Griffin.

“Most of the new development in Canberra in the last five to 10 years has been in Gungahlin, as our newly emerging and now almost fully grown town centre.

“I remember 20-25 years ago, the reverse complaint taking place when 100s of millions of dollars of infrastructure was spent in the Tuggeranong Valley as it was developing.

“If you look around here, clearly there are going to be thousands of additional residents over the next five to 10 years, and their needs will be met,” he said.

Inquiry expected into Glebe Park land deals The ACT Government’s land deals are expected to come under scrutiny by the ACT Integrity Commission, following a recommendation by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

The Committee tabled its report on AuditorGeneral’s Report No 7 of 2016: Certain Land Development Agency acquisitions on Thursday 28 November. The report considers the acquisitions by the Land Development Agency (LDA) of the leases for land near Glebe Park and in West Basin.

The Committee decided to recommend the ACT Integrity Commission consider these matters further because of the significant questions of probity and the conflicting evidence presented. It was reported that no members, including the Labor MLAs, dissented to the recommendation.

The Committee found that in making these acquisitions, the LDA did not follow due process in that it: was not in possession of a current valuation when it purchased the land adjacent to Glebe Park; it sought to influence valuations in other cases; while it 10

was subject to the Planning and Development (Land Acquisition Policy Framework) Direction 2014 (No 1), it not comply with it; it adopted an inconsistent approach across the acquisitions; and made these acquisitions without a clear, defensible basis for the amounts paid.

The Committee sought to establish whether there was any connection between the acquisition of the land at Glebe Park and plans by Aquis Entertainment to re-develop Casino Canberra.

While some witnesses said that the sole purpose of this acquisition was to allow a stormwater pond to be relocated, Aquis’s written evidence shows that the ACT Government was well aware of, and indeed encouraged, Aquis’s plans to develop the land adjacent to Glebe Park.

The ACT Integrity Commission started its statutory function to receive corruption complaints pursuant to relevant provisions of the Integrity Commission Act 2018 from 1 December.

Under the Act, the Commission is empowered to

investigate a wide range of allegations concerning corrupt conduct on the part of ACT public officials and ACT public sector entities. Any person may make a complaint to the Commission about conduct that may be corrupt.

capital hill Senate cross check amously, the founder of the now defunct Australian Democrats, Don Chipp, said the minor party’s job was “to keep the bastards honest”. The “bastards” were the government of the day. In that he was on the wavelength of a sentiment many believe sums up what many Australians think: “No matter who you vote for, a politician is elected.”

So, in the final sitting fortnight for 2019, the Senate cross bench lived up to Don Chipp’s job description. But it did so in a most remarkable way. Just to set the scene, we need to remember if Labor and the Greens vote against a government bill, the Coalition needs another four votes from somewhere else to pass legislation. If the Senate ties, then the rules say the majority has not supported a bill and that is exactly what happened with the Government’s so called union busting bill.

The Coalition had the two Centre Alliance senators and the Liberal defector Cory Bernardi.

They needed one more and thought they had Pauline Hanson and her sidekick, Malcolm Roberts, in the bag. So much so, they didn’t bother talking to the Tasmanian independent Jacqui Lambie. She says she was ready to talk and had amendments that would have ensured that the militant leader of the Victorian construction union, John Setka, would no longer be able to operate. But ignored, she voted with Labor, the Greens and, as it turned out, the two One Nation senators.

But this shouldn’t be dismissed merely in terms of a vanity contest between Hanson and Lambie.

Both, in giving their reasons for their vote, had legitimate worries about the Government’s bill. Even 12

so, the Government is accusing Hanson of not keeping her word; she disputes this and says it took her for granted.

The unions certainly didn’t take her for granted. ACTU president, Michelle O’Neil, and secretary, Sally McManus, turned up in parliament house with representatives from the nurses, carers, fire fighters and other service unions. Their argument was the Government had lumped all unions in with the militant construction union which was unfair and unwarranted as well as unnecessary. Hanson and Lambie agreed – for now.

Industrial Relations Minister, Christian Porter, says he will try again in the new year. Hanson says her vote is a warning for the unions to clean up their act, particularly the construction union. And she says the Government should clean up white collar crime: “go after the banking officials and prove to the people of Australia that you are here for everybody.”

Lambie says she is ready again to talk to the Government. Hanson says she’s in “no hurry to bash the unions”. Maybe the Queensland state election is a factor in her thinking.

On paper, the Government’s hand will be strengthened next year when Bernardi’s senate seat returns to the Liberal fold. He is quitting parliament at the end of the week. It will then only need three extra votes, still more than enough to keep them honest.

news Drug and Alcohol Court starts The Drug and Alcohol Sentencing List (DASL) has commenced in the ACT Supreme Court.

The DASL is the first specialised sentencing list in the Supreme Court, designed for offenders with drug and alcohol dependence that has significantly contributed to their offending.

“This initiative will work on addressing the underlying causes of offending,” said Acting Justice Lorraine Walker.

“Speaking for myself and the Court, we are looking forward to implementing the DASL to ensure an improved focus on therapeutic jurisprudence in the ACT.”

Acting Justice Walker will run the DASL, in collaboration with ACT Health, ACT Corrections, ACT Policing and other private and public partners who will support rehabilitation during an offender’s sentence.

Offenders referred to the DASL will be closely monitored in the community, while receiving treatment for substance abuse and other factors, instead of being imprisoned. Offenders will be required to present frequently at the Court to discuss their progress with the judge. Those who are unable to comply may be required to serve their sentence in prison.

Continued calls to protect Coombs Peninsula Molonglo Valley residents continue to call on the ACT Government to protect the Coombs Peninsula from multidwelling development, with support from the Canberra Liberals and the Conservation Council ACT Region.

important public asset shared by all the residents of Coombs and the Molonglo Valley,” Mrs Jones said.

“Coombs Peninsula is home to wildlife such as the rare Pink-tailed Worm-lizard and platypuses have been sighted by many local residents.”

She said many residents use the peninsula to access the Molonglo River, as well as using the area for recreational purposes.

“Despite its importance to the community and the understanding of many that it would not be developed, the ACT Labor-Greens Government now plans to allow approximately 30 dwellings to be built on the Coombs Peninsula.”

The Climate Council ACT Region shares the concerns of residents and the Canberra Liberals; executive director Helen Oakley has called on the Government to remove the peninsula from the land release program by June next year.

“The Conservation Council has long held the view that the Coombs Peninsula, a small spit of land that extends north into the Molonglo River corridor, should be put aside for environmental purposes due to the impact that urban development and

the management of fire risk would have on the habitat of the endangered Pink-tailed Wormlizard,” Ms Oakley said.

“As more people live in higher density suburbs, access to highquality urban open space becomes more important, and the Coombs Peninsula has values that should be able to be enjoyed the whole community, not just a select few.”

An ACT Government spokesperson said while the Government appreciates the concerns of some Coombs residents, the peninsula has been allocated for residential development since plans for the region were released in 2008.

“The development of the Molonglo Valley has been informed by numerous environmental and planning assessments over the last decade.

These found the peninsula has low environmental value and should not be included in the Molonglo River Reserve,” the spokesperson said.

“We have recently added an extra 35 hectares to the Molonglo River Reserve to bring it to a total of 1,280 hectares that will restore the river landscape for our native plants and animals and provide recreational areas for Molonglo.”

Hot cars a risk to children Recent media reports highlight that parents and caregivers are still ignoring warnings about the risks of serious heat related injuries or death to children who are left unattended in cars during hot weather.

With temperatures rising, the ACT Children and Young People Death Review Committee and Kidsafe ACT have issued a warning to Canberrans about the increased dangers of leaving children in cars.

According to Kidsafe ACT, “on a hot day, the temperature inside a parked car can be as much as 40°C hotter than it is outside. On a cool day, the temperature can

be over 20°C hotter. Most of this temperature rise can happen within the first five minutes”.

Margaret Carmody, Chair of the ACT Children and Young People Death Review Committee, said the message is clear: “never leave children alone in cars, always take children with you and when leaving the car, check to make sure that all occupants leave the vehicle or are carried out when unloading.”

The Committee advises that if you see a child left alone in a car in the hot summer weather, call Triple Zero (000) immediately and Emergency Services will provide advice on the action to take.

news Human milk bank deemed ‘not feasible’ An official milk bank in the ACT has been ruled out with a Government report citing it as “not a costeffective option for the ACT at this stage”.

Released on Thursday 28 November, the Feasibility of Establishing a Milk Bank in the ACT report is in response to a motion moved in the ACT Legislative Assembly in October 2018.

The report explored three options: sourcing pasteurised donor human milk from Red Cross Milk Bank Australia; establishing an ACT milk bank; and establishing an ACT milk collection service.

The ACT Health Directorate used modelling estimates developed by an experienced milk bank provider to demonstrate the types of volumes needed for the various scenarios.

ACT Minister for Health, Rachel

Stephen-Smith, said the most feasible solution is to maintain current arrangements by sourcing pasteurised donor milk from an interstate milk bank.

“This will ensure that very premature and vulnerable babies continue to receive the best possible care,” Ms Stephen-Smith said.

In the absence of a breast milk bank in the ACT, families are turning to alternative options, such as informal sharing, to source the ‘liquid gold’ for their children.

ACT Health recognises that while “some families will engage in informal sharing of breast milk”, other options are available.

According to an ACT Health spokesperson, “infants who don’t meet the criteria to access PDHM (pasteurised donor human milk) but their families or carers would still like to source it, have used a

not-for-profit milk bank, such as the Mother’s Milk Bank, through an application process”.

“Independent milk banks such as the Mother’s Milk Bank are the only option for pasteurised donor human milk in these instances.

ACT Health would advise families seeking to use unpasteurised donated milk from informal sources to consider the available evidence on the potential risks.”

However, community demand for a milk bank has not only been about receiving breast milk, but also providing local women the opportunity to donate excess breast milk to babies in need.

The feasibility study identified that there is potential to establish a relationship with the Red Cross Milk Bank to enable eligible women in the ACT to donate their excess breast milk.

“We will continue to pursue this and are optimistic that a partnership will be established to enable these generous women to donate through a trusted process that gives them peace of mind about appropriate screening and processing,” the spokesperson said.

“The Australian Red Cross has been funded by the Commonwealth Government to commence research into the benefits of expanding the current eligibility criteria for pasteurised donor human milk and the ACT is keen to participate in this research. Any changes to the evidence base through this process will be considered by the ACT Government.”

That’s a paddling!

Many Canberrans will get the chance to indulge in a nostalgia-inducing paddleboat ride across Lake Burley Griffin this summer, with a fleet of 14 refurbished boats back on the water.

Having been out of action since late 2015, getting the historic watercraft back in working order came from an idea hatched by National Capital Authority (NCA) Director of National Capital Events and Activation, Suzanne Hannema.

“I remember when I moved to Canberra, taking my kids out on the paddleboats, and then they disappeared,” Ms Hannema said.

“When I started with the NCA, one of the things we were planning on doing was activating the lake, so I immediately thought ‘well, let’s bring back the paddleboats!’.

“I went down and had a look 18

at where they used to be housed, and they were just there. It was like a time capsule; everything was just still where it was left.”

She said the boats required minimal work to be deemed seaworthy. “(The ACT Government) then gave us the boats, we then refurbished them so they’re up to code for nowadays, gave them a paint job and little spruiking here and there, and then went out to look for an operator.”

The NCA has partnered with GoBoat founder Nick Tyrrell, who said he’s thrilled to bring the ever popular paddleboats back to the Lake.

The paddleboats can be hired for two people at $20 for 30 minutes or $30 per hour.

Capital Paddle is located at the Regatta Point Jetty and is now operational.

news Case for new hydrotherapy pool in Canberra’s south A new public hydrotherapy pool could be on the cards in Canberra’s south with the ACT Government calling for Expressions of Interest for the project in response to the Access to Hydrotherapy in the ACT report.

The ACT Government commissioned Nous Group to review hydrotherapy services in the ACT, with the report making four recommendations, including that the “ACT Health Directorate should conduct a study of the costs and benefits and different models for the longer-term establishment of a hydrotherapy facility in the south of Canberra”.

The issue of hydrotherapy pools in Canberra has been a continuing one for the Government following the decision to close the pool at the Canberra Hospital.

In June, over 3,000 signatures were presented to the ACT Government

via two petitions calling to keep the hydrotherapy pool at the Canberra Hospital open and maintained until a new dedicated hydrotherapy pool is built on the southside.

The ACT Government has committed to not closing hydrotherapy at Canberra Hospital until an appropriate solution has been found, in consultation with Arthritis ACT. ACT Minister for Health, Rachel Stephen-Smith, said this market sounding process will help to identify non-government organisations who may be interested in working with the ACT Government in the development of a new hydrotherapy pool.

“This may be by way of the development and operation of a hydrotherapy pool at a new or existing facility, or the expansion of services at a facility with an existing hydrotherapy pool,” Ms Stephen-Smith said.

“This process will take account of

the very clear finding from Nous’ work and the community feedback, that any new hydrotherapy pool should not be based at a hospital or acute health facility, but rather in a community setting.”

It is expected that any new public hydrotherapy facility on the southside of the ACT would complement the public facility operating at the University of Canberra Hospital, as well as other private facilities across the ACT.

“The closure of the hydrotherapy pool at Canberra Hospital is not a decision that has been taken lightly.

ACT Health will continue to work with Arthritis ACT to ensure that alternative services are available in both the short and long term,” Ms Stephen-Smith said.

Canberra Health Services has extended the pool user agreement with Arthritis ACT until 31 December 2019. Expressions of Interest will close 14 February 2020.

Inclusive Australia aims to create social change A small organisation with big aspirations, Inclusive Australia is a new not-for-profit aiming to create major positive social change.

Inclusive Australia co-founder and CEO, Andrea Pearman, said the “long-term goal of Inclusive Australia is to create a country where people feel they are valued and accepted and celebrated for their differences”.

“The impact of social exclusion could not be overstated – economically, socially and from a health and wellbeing perspective. It is time we all do more,” she said. “Exploring differences can be challenging.

But we know from history that when we embrace the difference of our people and communities, we are better off.”

As part of the launch of Inclusive Australia on Monday 2 December, the Inclusive Australia Social Inclusion Index compiled

by Monash University was also

released. It is the first report to measure the overarching issue of social inclusion in Australia.

According to the findings: one in four Australians have recently experienced major discrimination; wellbeing is 15% lower among people who have experienced discrimination; and around 40% of Australians have little to no contact with minority groups.

The findings also suggest that most Australians are not highly prejudiced, and more than half are willing to stop discrimination when they see it.

Inclusive Australia is made up of a growing alliance of organisations and high-profile ambassadors. Together, they aim to foster collaboration to accelerate existing inclusion initiatives and identify new initiatives that involve Australian companies and everyday Australians.

news Inaugural ‘Healthy Prison Review’ into AMC tabled The ACT’s first Healthy Prison Review of the Alexander Maconochie Centre (AMC) has pointed to a number of key issues that need to be rectified, but deduced that “the key ingredients” of a healthy prison are present.

The ACT Inspector of Correctional Services, Neil McAllister, presented his comprehensive, 164-page review to the ACT Legislative Assembly last month.

The review made 73 recommendations for improvement that Mr McAllister will follow up.

It said work needs to be done across the four ‘pillars’ of the healthy prison framework: safety; respect and dignity; purposeful activity; and rehabilitation and preparation for release.

The review pointed to issues like high detainee numbers, the large number of cohorts that do not mix, and the need to escort detainees creating difficulties across the AMC, impacting areas such as detainees’ ability to access health appointments, programs, education and outdoor exercise.

Mr McAllister said while he has seen improvements at the AMC over the past 18 months, some key areas of concern have yet to be addressed.

“Accommodating women in a high security men’s unit – an issue identified in my February 2019

Remand Review – remains a pressing concern.

“Female detainees also lack equality of opportunity to facilities, programs and services compared to the men,” he said.

However, Mr McAllister acknowledged that the ACT Government’s Building Communities not Prisons initiative is a “big step” in the right direction.

The ACT Human Rights Commission (HRC) said, in a statement, they remain concerned about the treatment of female detainees at the AMC. ACT HRC Discrimination Commissioner, Karen Toohey, said it was concerning that many longstanding issues affecting female prisoners remain unresolved.

“We reiterate that women at the AMC must be accommodated in appropriate accommodation.

“We are hopeful that the recently announced construction of an additional 80-bed facility will provide opportunities for this to occur,” Ms Toohey said.

ACT Minister for Correctional Services, Shane Rattenbury said he was encouraged by the review’s finding that the AMC has the “ingredients to be a healthy prison”.

Thanks to sponsors, Carols in Town Park has become a must attend event for the whole family.

Entertainment includes performances Amber Nichols, Lucy Sugerman and Tory Nikias.

Children's amusement rides, farm animals, jumping castles and face painting are free.

Community Carols are an initiative of The Salvation Army and includes support from the Canberra Community Voices Choir.

“I am a Minister who expects continuous improvement – the Inspector’s independent report highlights a number of areas where real improvement has been made, but also areas that require further work.

“This is the first report of its kind in the ACT – setting benchmarks for the future. We will now take time to carefully analyse its recommendations, and the ACT Government will be responding formally in early 2020,” he said.

Shadow Minister for Corrections, Giulia Jones, said the report “exposes the incompetence” of Minister Rattenbury.

“The Inspector of Correctional Services’ Healthy Prison Review of the Alexander Maconochie Centre 2019 identified 100 serious systemic failures compromising prison security and rehabilitation.

“Mr Rattenbury has monumentally failed to stabilise and secure the prison.

“He’s had seven years to secure the prison; instead the jail has become more dangerous.

Mr Rattenbury needs to be replaced with a more capable and interested Minister,” Mrs Jones said.

Mr McAllister will conduct the next Healthy Prison Review of the AMC in 2021.

Heat burn Cavalry

The GWS Giants have welcomed Canberra’s Tom Green to their senior list selected with pick 10 in the 2019 AFL Draft. Getty

Green a Giant The GWS Giants have welcomed Canberran Tom Green to the club following the 2019 AFL Draft on Wednesday 27 November. Giants Academy graduate Green was bid on by Carlton at pick 10, but the Giants matched the bid, ensuring he would pull on the orange and charcoal in 2020. A big-bodied midfielder, Green was named in the Under-18 All Australian team this year. Giants national recruiting manager, Adrian Caruso, said: “As a strongly-built midfielder, size and craft around stoppage is his asset and we believe that, given his determination and character, we had to prioritise bringing him in.

Tom captained the Allies in 2019 and 24

The Canberra Cavalry recorded a 3-1 series loss to the Perth Heat. A walk-off to Perth in the bottom of the 10th was all that separated the teams in game one as the home side won 1-0 before posting convincing 10-2 and 7-1 wins in the doubleheader on Saturday 30 November. The Cavalry bounced back to win game four 10-6.

In other player news, the Brumbies have confirmed that highly-rated Australian U18 hooker Billy Pollard has committed to Rugby Australia and the Brumbies under a fouryear contract with the club.

GIVIT donation of the week: Line trimmer A whipper snipper (aka line trimmer) is needed by a single mother of three children. They live in a house with a big garden that needs some maintenance. The line trimmer will be really helpful to cut the long grass, which is hard to reach by a lawn mower. Your donation is going to provide the children a safe and clean garden to play in. The person using this line trimmer is fairly petite so ideally a lightweight model will be practical. If the model you’re offering is electric, please throw in an outdoor extension cable. Your generosity will be appreciated.

Items can be dropped off or pick-up can be arranged. To donate, visit givit.org.au/ items-needed, search ‘line trimmer’ and select requests located in ACT. After you pledge the item, you will be contacted by the relevant charity to arrange pick-up or drop-off.

Jamison Travel advertising moment

Jamison Travel owner, Michelle Everson (holding award), said her “amazing team”, who provide professional, personal and timely service to clients, are a key factor of the agency’s success.

Jamison Travel took home the inaugural Travellers Choice Leading Agency Award and Achievement of Gold Category.

Around the corner or around the world, for a memorable trip for all the right reasons, put your trust in the award-winning team at Jamison Travel.

With a proven record of performance, Jamison Travel was recently named the inaugural recipient of the coveted Travellers Choice Leading Agency Award.

The prestigious award, presented at the recent Travellers Choice Conference, recognises the Travel Agency within the Travellers Choice group that has achieved outstanding business success. As Australia’s pre-eminent network of independently owned travel agencies, Travellers Choice was awarded the 2019 National Travel Industry Awards best Travel Agency Group – the second time they’ve received this accolade.

Travellers Choice Managing Director, Christian Hunter, said: “Jamison Travel has long been recognised as one of Australia’s leading travel agencies and it continues to raise the bar in terms of business performance and customer service delivery.”

Jamison Travel owner, Michelle Everson, said it was a “huge surprise and honour” to receive the award.

Michelle said she doesn’t believe that cheapest is always best; instead, it’s about ensuring your travel plans meet your expectations and requirements including safety, timing, family and interests.

“We know where to look and can cut through the quagmire,” she said.

For helpful, professional advice on your next trip, contact the award-winning team at Jamison Travel today on 6251 5166.

Journey with Jamison Travel “Travellers Choice have an amazing network of agents of various sizes and some very strong offices I’ve looked up to and aspired to be at their level,” she said.

As well as the top accolade, Jamison Travel also received six Supplier’s Choice awards and an Achievement of Gold Category, which the business has repeatedly achieved since 2011, highlighting their consistent professionalism and passion for the industry.

Michelle attributes Jamison Travel’s success to “the amazing team around me”.

“Even though we’ve had some staff changes this year, we employ and only bring people on board who will fit in with our overall culture in providing great service.”

Jamison Travel has been based in Macquarie since 1993 and in its current location at Shop 5, 39 Bowman Street (next to the Salvos) for 12 years.

“Last year we celebrated 25 years in business,” Michelle said. “We are not too big that we’ve lost touch with our customer base but we are recognised as one of the stronger agencies in town.”

A key factor in Jamison Travel’s success is their personal approach to tailor travel packages just for you.

SEE WHO WON THE CANBERRA REGION’S TOP AWARDS YOUNG ACHIEVERS MAKE THEIR MARK IN THE LOCAL INDUSTRY SOCIAL PICS FROM THE GALA EVENT AT THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL

A MESSAGE FROM THE

ACT CHIEF MINISTER

Tonight the ACT tourism industry can celebrate its biggest year ever with record growth and economic contribution to the ACT economy. This record growth sets us on a momentous trajectory as we head into a new decade.

You have all played a key role in the ACT’s success with 2.90 million Australian overnight visitors, 2.31 million Australian day trippers and 266,278 international visitors coming the capital for the year ending June 2019, representing the highest visitor performance on record.

Significantly, overnight expenditure is now more than $2.47 billion per annum.

stunning view after climbing a mountain in Namadgi National Park, floating across the lake while enjoying a picnic or uncovering a remarkable Australian moment inside one of our galleries, our visitors are guaranteed one good thing after another.

Now in their 34th year, the Canberra Region Tourism Awards celebrate the best and brightest within our industry, showcasing the best of our region’s tourism operators in terms of product and services, quality and visitor experience.

Additionally, the most recent data capturing the year 2017-18 shows tourism employs 19,300 Canberrans, the equivalent of around one quarter of all new jobs in the ACT.

Congratulations to this year’s awards entrants who continue to pursue excellence and will be joining their tourism industry peers for a spectacular night along Lake Burley Griffin next March when Canberra hosts the 2019 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.

With 14 international flights each week and many new hotels, bars, cafes and attractions continuing to offer new or refreshed experiences, tourism will continue to create significant economic opportunities for Canberra. The ACT Government continues to work closely with industry and to support major events that build on reasons to visit the capital.

I would also like to thank the event sponsors. Without your support and commitment to the industry, these awards would not be possible.

Perfect moments await in Canberra. Whether it be finding the perfect coffee, being rewarded with a

• A fi rm bladder area is the best indicator of a fresh whole fish. Please note that contact with ice can dull the eyes of whole fish, even when very fresh.

• Fresh fish should have a pleasant fresh ocean smell.

• Never store fillets in direct contact with ice. Always remove packaging, cover and refrigerate. Cook and eat within two days.

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

Uncooked prawns should be stored in a bowl of ice and water, in the fridge.

The ice and water should be changed daily. Cook and eat within two days.

Always defrost fish and seafood in a covered bowl, in the fridge.

Cover Oysters and Smoked Trout with wet paper, then seal in a container or with wrap and refrigerate.

Caution: Even ‘boneless’ fish may contain bones. Take care before eating and check carefully before feeding to children.

A whimsical take on the everyday coat rack Eames® Hang-It-All®

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, produced by Herman Miller®

The Hang-It-All, designed in 1953, was originally made for Tigrett Enterprises’ Playhouse Division and Herman Miller reissued it in 1994.

Used instead of plain hooks, the coat rack was designed at inspiring children to literally hang up all their things. For extra storage, multiple coat racks can be mounted side by side, so you can hang it all.

The Eames Hang It All is a cheerful alternative to dull coat hooks —and it’s not just for children’s rooms.

Available in classic multi-colour, black, white, maple or walnut.

Serves: 4 500g minced chicken

Image and recipe from Super Green Super Easy by Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett (Allen & Unwin, RRP $24.99). Photography by Rob Palmer.

1 Tbsp oyster sauce 1 Tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) 1½ Tbsp peanut oil

Serves: 6 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 red onion, thinly sliced 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1–2 tsp garlic salt 75g (1 cup) shredded red cabbage 200g sweet red cherry tomatoes, quartered 1 large handful of roughly chopped coriander leaves, plus extra, to serve 1–2 tsp smoked paprika 6 flour or corn tortillas 100g store-bought beetroot hummus ½ avocado, sliced 4 golden pepperoncini, sliced (if you can’t find them, substitute jalapenos instead) 1 lime, cut into wedges Dressing 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp red wine vinegar 2 tsp pomegranate molasses (optional) Pink salt and freshly ground black pepper

62

3 cloves garlic, crushed Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2 long red chillies, seeded, chopped finely, plus extra slices to serve

Place the chickpeas between sheets of paper towel and set aside for 5 minutes to absorb the excess water. Remove the top sheet of paper towel and let the chickpeas air-dry for 2-3 minutes. Spread the chickpeas over two-thirds of the prepared tray, spread the onion on the other third. Drizzle on the olive oil, sprinkle over the garlic salt and toss gently to coat. Pop the tray in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chickpeas are golden and the onion has caramelised.

2 shallots, sliced thinly

Make the salad by combining the cabbage, cherry tomatoes and coriander in a bowl. Mix together the dressing ingredients and add to the salad, tossing well.

Place the roast onion on a large serving platter.

Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the chickpeas and shake the tray to ensure all the chickpeas are coated. Add to the platter.

Quickly microwave the tortillas, and arrange the hummus, avocado, pepperoncini, lime and extra coriander on the platter. Serve up with the salad and let everyone assemble their own tacos – it’s more fun that way!

2 Tbsp fish sauce 1 cup Thai basil leaves ½ cup (105g) roasted cashews, chopped 2 baby cos or gem lettuce, leaves separated To serve Brown rice and lime wedges Combine minced chicken, oyster sauce and kecap manis in a bowl. Heat peanut oil in a large wok over medium-high heat, add garlic, chilli and shallots; stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add chicken mixture to wok; stir-fry breaking it up with a wok chan (or wooden spoon) for 4 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

Add fish sauce and 2 tablespoons water; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Stir through three-quarters of the Thai basil and half the cashews.

Serve chicken mixture on lettuce leaves topped with remaining Thai basil and cashews, and extra sliced chilli. Accompany with brown rice and lime wedges.

taste Take 5: Anthea Cheng Anthea Cheng is a chef, food photographer, blogger, recipe developer and food consultant behind Rainbow Nourishments. Anthea published her first book Incredible Plant-Based Desserts in 2019, where she shares simple-to-sophisticated vegan desserts.

1

How did Rainbow Nourishments begin?

What has your journey been so far?

I created Rainbow Nourishments because I moved from Sydney to Canberra, was feeling very isolated in the city so wanted to connect with like-minded people. I also wanted a creative outlet as I was working in the public service. It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey!

2

How do you develop and test your recipes?

I research what hasn’t been developed previously and test a combination of ingredients until I find my favourite! It can take anywhere from one to 30 trials to get a recipe right.

3

How did you go about putting together Incredible Plant-Based Desserts?

My publisher approached me and I jumped on the opportunity! The book combines trade-secret recipes from my cake business, plant-based

E L E G A N C E

H A S

versions of my favourite childhood treats and just recipes I thought would be delicious.

4

Where did your interest with baking, and especially plant-based baking, begin?

My parents owned restaurants for my whole life so I grew up cooking and baking. I began experimenting with plant-based ingredients at around 15 when I realised that those ingredients had less of an impact on the environment and animals. I also realised that plant-based ingredients were better for my health.

5

How does it feel to take your recipe content from the digital space to the printed pages of a cookbook? How has the feedback been on the book?

Insane and surreal! Overwhelmingly positive; I’ve received a lot of praise on the beauty of the book and how almost every single page has a photograph.

Projecting a strong environmental message Mandy Martin and her son, Alexander Boynes, are two visual artists with strong local connections who have long held a deep interest in the environment and humanity’s impact upon it.

Their new exhibition, Hi-Vis Futures, now on display at Canberra Museum and Gallery (CMAG), presents a compelling exploration of those themes.

Developed also in collaboration with Martin’s son-in-law, cellist and sound designer, Tristen Parr, the exhibition comprises work completed by the trio over the last three years. This is the first time these works have been brought together.

Upon entry, Hi-Vis Futures introduces itself in style as you’re immediately struck by a fluorescent orange title wall.

To the left is another bright orange wall filled with introductory panels containing artist statements and quotes from various writers pertaining to the exhibition’s key themes of the environmental impact of climate change and resource extraction.

The panels have been styled to resemble regulatory and hazard signage that’s commonplace on industrial worksites.

Their bold messaging is counterbalanced by the subtle, gentle nature of the artworks on show.

At one side of the exhibition, on a wall perpendicular to the introductory panels is a

10-metre-long installation bringing together the haunting cello of Parr with Boynes’ large-scale digital projections, which flicker across Martin’s colossal painting.

The layering of video imagery animates the static picture surface with flashes of fires burning, cars speeding, a gentle breeze in an ancient forest and workers in hi-vis clothing navigating through industrial sites.

“They were very concerned to make a personal response to how they felt about climate change, but they wanted to do it in a new visual language,” CMAG senior curator Virginia Rigney tells Canberra Weekly.

“They wanted to also hold people in a way in the gallery space that was a bit different to just

walking past a single image, so that’s how the idea of having time-based video projected on top of a painting came about.”

The three artists say that working together on this project came naturally and has been based around a deep knowledge and respect for one another’s practice.

Rigney says the two 10-metre-long collaborative works in the exhibition have been developed in Hazelhurst, Geelong and the Latrobe Valley; communities that have been very directly impacted by big infrastructure that relies on coal.

The artists made several research trips to draw, photograph and capture sound from both large industrial sites as well as natural forests.

“The artists were really mindful, I guess, of the archaeology of these places, about the richness of the history of the communities that have grown up there.

“What they’re saying in these works is not to denigrate the people or those communities themselves, but to come into the space and offer a moment of requiem before the changes that are both taking place right now but also need to take place right now,” Rigney says.

She says Hi-Vis Futures is an important exhibition to show in Canberra due to both the local links of the artists and the political nature of the work displayed.

“Having presented it previously in smaller sections or individual works in regional galleries, they were confident to bring it to a national stage, and Canberra is that unique city in that it’s both a national stage and its own regional community.

“There are two sets of dialogues going on here. They’re very happy to have politicians come here and have a look at the show, but they also really want local Canberrans to come in,” Rigney says.

CMAG will also present a range of public programs inviting visitors to further explore the exhibition.

time out Now showing

Official Secrets (MA15+) In the early 2000s, British translator Katharine Gun (Keira Knightley) goes about her usual day at the Government Communications Headquarters intelligence agency. On this day, however, Gun receives a memo from American’s National Security Agency (NSA) asking British Intelligence to provide illegal information to be used to start an invasion into Iraq.

Hot on the heels of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange’s recent imprisonment, the movie weighs in on whether whistle-blowers should be seen as a traitor against the government of the day or a fighter for the good of the people.

2016’s Snowden revealed the shady shenanigans of the NSA and CIA, exposing government agencies tasked with breaching all

manner of privacy laws to surveil their own citizens. Then Red Joan (2018) showed a British citizen supplying Russia with nuclear secrets to create a stalemate to stop a potential nuclear war.

Official Secrets shows the complication of working within the Official Secrets Act: one cannot speak about secret matters, including with one’s own legal team should one breach it. Via an excellent ensemble cast, we see the progression of the leak and the country’s political stance on a possible war in Iraq: Tony Blair is shown to seek favour from America to build his political career, and we see The Observer newspaper support him over their own mission to simply report the truth.

Verdict: While dramatic licence has been used to simplify and heighten the drama, especially in legal scenes, Knightley has never been better. 4 stars.

wellbeing Breathing for balance Of the myriad of methods for bringing the mind and body back into balance, one of the most effective techniques I’ve come across is the yoga practice of nadi shodhana. Translated from the Sanskrit as nadi: channel or flow and shodhana: purification, it’s commonly referred to as ‘alternate nostril breathing’ as the technique involves alternating your attention from the left to the right nostril in a particular sequence.

Yoga is not all about twisting your body into a pretzel! In fact, the yoga poses that we’re most familiar with, called ‘asanas’ (Sanskrit for ‘seat’) are just one of eight core elements of yoga. Probably the next most well-known is pranayama, or breathing techniques, of which nadi shodhana is one of many.

The ultimate aim of asana (yoga poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques) is to prepare the body and mind for meditation, accessing experiences of profound bliss and ultimately enlightenment. The beauty of yoga is that it’s very experiential. The aim is to try a technique, see what effect it has on you and, if you find it’s helpful, keep doing it.

Alternate nostril breathing for beginners: Sit comfortably in a chair or on the ground with a cushion, keep your spine tall and long. Bring your attention to your breath and notice the rhythm of your inhalations and exhalations.

Now notice the sensation of the breath coming in and out of your nostrils. When your mind wanders, bring it back to the sensation of the breath at your nostrils.

On your next breath in, take your attention to the left nostril – feel the sensation of the breath coming in your left nostril. As you exhale, switch your focus to your right nostril and feel the sensation of the breath as it flows out of your right nostril.

As you inhale, keep your attention on the right nostril and as you breathe out switch again to the left nostril. Continue switching sides at the end of the inhalation: inhale left, exhale right, inhale right, exhale left, inhale left, exhale right, and so on.

Start with five minutes practice and sit for a few minutes afterwards and notice how you feel. Nadi shodhana is a great practice to settle a busy mind; you can use it at any time during the day as a mental and emotional reset or as a preparation for meditation.

Festive florals

Flower tree Start with a selection of your favourite faux flowers.

For this project, Hayley used 50 stems. Look for stems with large blooms to make a big impact and fill more space on your tree.

Bend the stems to allow your flowers to lay flat along the branch, then bend downwards and sit vertically at the tree trunk.

Decorate your tree starting with the largest blooms first, and then add the smaller flowers to fill in the holes.

WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

Faux blooms are the perfect decorative twist on the traditional – they’re light, bright, give a nod to the Aussie summer and, best of all, never die!

Using fake hydrangeas and peony flowers, Early Settler and stylist Hayley Little [@mumlittleloves] show how faux blooms can be adapted three ways using only scissors and cable ties.

The projects – Christmas wreath, long Christmas table centrepiece and Christmas ‘flower-tree’ – are styled for the festive season, but, depending on your flower choice, colours and decorative accessories, can easily be designed as year-round decoration. The full range of Early Settler faux blooms are available online; earlysettler.com.au

A selection of blooms Cable ties Scissors Other embellishments

Lay your first flower on a flat surface. Lay your next flower on top. Cable tie them together. Continue adding your flowers one at a time. You can begin to bend your flowers into an arc as you go.

Once you’ve finished joining all your flowers together, gently bend it into a circle to determine where you will join the ends.

Turn your wreath upside down and join it with cable ties. Tuck all the stems around and cable tie them in.

Lay your baubles out to plan their placement.

Attach your baubles with cable ties. Add a ribbon to hang.

Lay your first flower out on a flat surface. Select your second flower and lay it on top. Use a cable tie to secure it in place. Pull your cable tie tight and snip the excess off.

Bend the stems upwards to expose more of the bloom, especially on the smaller flowers so they don’t get lost. Attach and layer. Continue attaching your blooms one by one.

When you have joined approximately half of the flowers, put your garland to the side and start again. When you have finished, you should have two garlands that will join together to cover the stems.

Don’t worry if they aren’t the same length. Arrange them with the stems overlapping.

Turn your garland upside down and attach cable ties to secure the two pieces together.

Step 1: For the 250mm cone, cut 35-40 squares from each of the three colours of fabric; cut 60-70 squares from each of the three colours of fabric for the 350mm cone. Each square measuring 6.5cm. Cut a circle measuring 5cm larger than the base of each cone from one of the coloured fabrics.

Step 2: With the wrong side of the fabric facing up, place the cone in the centre of the circle. Pull up the fabric around the sides of the cone tightly, folding and pleating where necessary, using the pins to secure the fabric to the cone.

Step 3: With wrong sides together, fold a cut square in half on the diagonal to create a triangle. Press flat with iron. Fold in half again to create an even smaller triangle, press flat. Repeat folding and pressing process on all cut squares.

in the garden

‘Tip me over, pour me out’: Succulent enthusiast Bing Simonte Sulit is an expert at creating interest, colour contrast and fun in the garden.

Bing loves to get out and potter in the garden or simply enjoy time to just be.

Beautiful succulent gardens growing in vintage birdcages.

Interest, colour and fun in the garden Bing Simonte Sulit and her husband Joe moved to Australia from the Philippines six years ago and have lived in Canberra for the past five years.

With their children grown up and mostly moved out of home, they downsized to a 325sqm block a year ago. Joe, an interior designer and inventor, designed the interior of the house as well as the beautiful outdoor structures, including a prayer room, outdoor decks, outdoor walls and more.

Despite its modest size, this smartly designed garden feels open and full of interest and variety – the intricacies of individual plant varieties and their placement is mesmerising.

Bing said her mother is a huge influence on her passion for gardening and plants. She grew up on a large suburban block full of fruit trees, veg and ornamentals, where she looked forward to finishing school each day and helping in the garden.

80

Bing said she loves to spend hours enjoying the garden, whether pottering with the plants or sitting and admiring them.

Joe gifted Bing a potted succulent three years ago and she has since developed a healthy obsession for these fun and interesting plants. She has hundreds of varieties growing including rare and unusual ones.

Many are frost tolerant and all are low water use. More sensitive varieties are grown under the generous eaves.

Most of the succulents at their previous home were grown in pots, but they are now predominately in-ground. Bing said she has done this to keep maintenance to a minimum.

Exceptions include a converted succulent birdbath, a fabulous vintage wheelbarrow bejewelled with a variety of specimens, and also multiple vintage bird cages used to the same effect.

Some of the non-succulent

plants growing in the garden include a range of citrus varieties Bing grew from seed, bay laurels accentuating a side boundary fence, a magnolia tree gifted from Bing’s mother, lacecap hydrangeas, and an apple and cherry tree in the back lawn area.

Bing loves to share her knowledge and plants with likeminded others (I walked away from my visit with my hands and pockets full of weird and wonderful succulent cuttings, and my mind full of new ideas and possibilities!).

This affection inspired her to establish the thriving Facebook page Canberra Succulent Lovers Club, where people can swap, buy, sell and talk about succulents.

Bing also runs succulent workshops, such as her recent Christmas themed succulent potting party.

Bing is constantly propagating succulents to fill her garden, share with friends and also for

sale. She makes her own potting and propagation mixes, using a mix of coarse river sand, crushed eggshells and bagged potting mix.

Succulent varieties of particular interest to me included: Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’, with long grey-green leaves that grow outward and then curl back towards the centre; Pachyphytum oviferum (commonly known as moonstones), with fleshy glaucous leaves anywhere from silvery blue to lavender; and cristate or crested forms, which occur when the original plant receives some damage to a single growing point, causing it to make multiple wavy and fan-shaped growing points.

Succulent log table centrepiece Bring nature to your table with this succulent centrepiece. Project courtesy of Bing Sulit and Lil’ Seeds Co. What you need Wooden log hollowed out Succulent potting mix Succulent cuttings Mini garden tools Moss or small pebbles

Step 1: Find a log which will add character to your centrepiece. Make sure it is not wet in the middle. You can use different methods to hollow out your log. For this project, a drill press was used and a chisel to carve the edges. Since the log planter is going to be filled with soil, the insides don’t need to be perfect.

Step 2: Prepare all the materials on a table and then fill up half of the log with potting mix.

Step 3: Choose your succulents and place them in your desired spots in the log. You can use a spoon or mini tools to place the succulents inside the soil or just get creative with your fingers.

Step 4: Once all of your succulents are placed, add more soil so they don’t wriggle around. Firm the soil around the plant by pressing gently with your hands. You can finish by putting pebbles or moss on top of the soil.

82

Simple care tips Sunshine: Make sure your succulents get enough sunshine (six hours per day).

Water: During spring and summer, they drink plenty of water for growth.

Do not over water as it can kill the succulents. Make sure the soil is dry between watering.

Propagating: You can easily increase your succulent garden by taking off leaves from your plants and putting them on moist soil to grow.

Keep them clean: Indoor plants can gradually get dusty which will affect the growth. Use a damp cloth to gently clean the leaves.

Poplars launches A new development has been launched in the NSW suburb of Jerrabomberra, which will be home to defence, space and tech companies as well as a retail and services precinct.

Poplars will also include a STEMbased high school, innovation hub and a grassland reserve.

“The region already has a highly skilled workforce and a growing reputation as a magnet for innovation and world leading communications and defence companies,” said Poplars Development director, David Maxwell.

“With the first retail stage of Poplars already underway, this exciting new development will foster industry connection with the national capital, offering the latest facilities

PBRE raises over $100k for Stella Bella

in an attractive and rapidly growing regional centre.”

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) Mayor Tim Overall said the development would provide “much-needed” retail and employment land as a springboard for continued expansion.

“The South Jerrabomberra area will see some significant progress over the coming years, including the establishment of the proposed South Tralee residential area and planning for the development of a Regional Sports Precinct, educational facility and an innovation hub,” he said.

The grassland reserve will comprise over 100ha of conservation area, with Poplars working with the Wadiyali Restoration Trust to ensure the ecological area is conserved.

The team at Peter Blackshaw Real Estate Gungahlin, led by Michael and Rebecca Braddon, have raised over $100,000 for the Stella Bella Little Stars Foundation in just under five years. The family-run franchise reached the milestone after their recent charity golf day.

The Foundation provides support to families with a child with a long-term serious illness through financial assistance, family support, respite and the Little Beads program.

Founder Suzanne Tunks said the money raised by the Peter Blackshaw Gungahlin team generates around 20% of the annual funding the Foundation

needs to operate each year.

“We’re so thankful to Michael and Rebecca … their contribution is huge for us – and to have hit $100,000 over five years from one small office is mindblowing.”

Michael Braddon says it is “humbling” to be able to give back to the community, and says their support-base is growing.

“Each year, more and more people in the Canberra business community get behind our event. This year we’ve even had businesses on the South Coast and as far away as Queensland get involved. We couldn’t do it without them,” he said.

Simon Butt elected head of MBA Canberra’s Simon Butt, Chief Executive of Manteena, has been elected National President of Master Builder’s Australia (MBA).

The second MBA National President to hail from the ACT, MBA ACT CEO Michael Hopkins said Butt has a “long and proud history with the MBA”, and is “highly regarded in the ACT as a leader within the building and construction industry”.

“In the early 1990s, he was involved in the MBA ACT

Commercial Sector Council, sat on the Executive Committee before becoming Treasurer and eventually President of the MBA ACT. Simon has represented the ACT on the MBA Australia Board since 2012,” he said.

Butt is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Building and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He was appointed an Adjunct Professor at the University of Canberra in 2018.

The Peter Blackshaw Gungahlin team have raised over $100,000 for the Stella Bella Little Stars Foundation in five years.

Luxe Modern living in the country town of Goulburn Goulburn NSW 17 Fenwick Crescent In the heart of the NSW town of Goulburn sits Luxe, a development of two-, three- and four-bedroom townhouses.

Designed by the awardwinning Hugh Gordon Architects, Independent Inner North and City sales consultant, Tammy Bush, and licensed agent, Graham Bush, say Luxe is a development of “beautifully designed townhouses in the heart of Goulburn”, that has “only the best, ‘luxe’ inclusions”.

Each townhouse comes with a raft of quality, modern inclusions, with an emphasis on attention to detail – and with a range of floorplans on offer, there’s something for every buyer. Buyers can choose between 21 different floorplans, some even with the option to convert living spaces to extra bedrooms.

Enjoying the country air and leafy streetscapes is a given, too, with each townhouse boasting outdoor living spaces for entertaining or simply relaxing.

With Goulburn steadily growing in popularity, Tammy and Graham say Luxe is perfectly suited to a range of buyers, including those looking to invest, downsize or purchase their first home. Buyers will have direct access to the Hume Highway, which provides easy access to both Canberra and Sydney, and, in popular Goulburn, buyers will be simply a stone’s throw away from all the amenities on offer.

“Luxe Residences is in close proximity to tennis courts and the bowling club. There is an onsite playground for the kids, as well as the expansive Victoria Park within walking distance.

“Goulburn Hospital is nearby, and currently undergoing a stateof-the-art upgrade, giving you 86

close access to some of the best healthcare and facilities the region has to offer.”

One-of-a-kind design Chisholm 10 Woodburn Street This move in-ready home is the epitome of modern family living.

“Quite often in homes there is a compromise between the size of the living areas and the size of the bedrooms, this is not one of those homes,” says One Agency Andrew Thorpe principal and licensed agent ACT and NSW, Andrew Thorpe.

“All areas are spacious and lightfilled, accentuated by the higher ceilings. The flat landscaped garden offers a generous space for kids and pets yet is maintenance friendly so

you don't have to be a slave to it.

“All the work is done! It is a move in and enjoy proposition,” Thorpe says. “We feel the home would suit buyers who want a quality built home and don't want to have to renovate. It has a broad appeal, given the flexible layout, particularly with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs, which is ideal for people with mobility constraints. It can also accommodate the average family in comfort.”

With four large bedrooms, three upstairs, including the master with walk-in robe and ensuite, and three bathrooms, there’s room enough for everyone at 10 Woodburn Street.

The abundance of living space also ensures everyone’s taken care of, with separate living and family spaces on the ground floor, and a rumpus on the upper floor.

Thorpe says this home has a range of amazing design features, including the double height ceiling in the entry way, and the “one-ofa-kind kitchen design with unique aquarium centrepiece”.

“It's a spectacular focal point in the house that can be seen from the both the living/dining areas and spans the entire length of the kitchen benchtop, standing out as a truly unique design of the house. It is also fascinating and mesmerising to watch and adds an air of calm to the home.”

Outside, he says, the alfresco area connects with the kitchen and both living spaces, and the huge 77sqm garage offers an abundance of space for cars, boats and storage.

Not a single detail has been missed in this home, with a range of luxury inclusions in a highly sought-after suburb.

“It can be found on a quiet street, and is just a few minutes’ walk to the Caroline Chisholm School's junior and senior campuses, Chisholm Shops, ovals and parks and a five minute drive to all the facilities at the Tuggeranong Town Centre,” Thorpe says. “Arterial roads are close for an effortless connection to Fyshwick, the airport, the City and Gungahlin.”

Good Will Hunting

Friday, NINE, 8.30pm, M

Hitherto hanging with his Boston buddies in bars and at ball games, a run-in with the law means no more time-outs for underachieving delinquent Will Hunting (Matt Damon, pictured). Granted a reprieve (via an accidental discovery of his mathematical genius), a reluctant Will receives counselling from a psychologist (Robin Williams).

Friday

pick of the week The Godfather Saturday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+

Francis Ford Coppola’s gangster classic oozes sophistication from every pore of the late Mario Puzo’s spellbinding, multilayered story of a New York Mafia family.

Grounded with astute command by Marlon Brando (pictured), the monarch of the Corleone crime syndicate, a colossal saga of suspense details the machinations of family greed and rival opportunism.

December 6

Beauty And The Beast

Sunday, 9GO!, 7pm, PG

Belle is no ordinary Disney princess.

She reads, she fights, she tells it like it is and follows her own rules and Emma Watson (pictured) brings the right amount of grace and grit to this live-action retelling of the 1991 animation favourite.

The set and costume details are exquisite and the writers have done a marvellous job filling in some plot holes from the original.

Uphill struggle From legendary director Ken Loach, Sorry We Missed You (CTC) tells the story of Ricky and his family who have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 fi nancial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self-employed delivery driver. It’s hard work, and his wife’s job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

In cinemas 26 December.

My favourite things GOOD FOOD I love finding new places or shops where I can try amazing vegan food. Food for vegans these days is incredibly better than what it was 15 years ago (when I first tried going vegan).

NATURE My partner and I love exploring Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on the weekends. Work is often stressful so we escape to nature to get away and calm my nerves! Plus, I have to be on social media a lot for work, so time away from society and technology is great!

KIDS I don’t have kids but adore those of my family and friends. They are bundles of honesty, energy and giggles! There’s no doubt they test your patience and boundaries but I appreciate them at the end of the day.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY Spending time with close friends and family is like medicine for my soul! We understand each other and don’t have to keep up façades. Most of them are in Sydney so living in Canberra has made me appreciate my friends/family even more.

MASSAGES I hold a lot of tension in my body but cannot do yoga or meditation for specific reasons.

Massages are an important part of selfcare for me!
