This week...

As I pen this missive on Tuesday 17 December, a smoky haze from bushfires burning across the region once again blankets the city. Based on health warnings, I’ve curtailed my exercise regime, which is precarious considering the ‘feastive’ season is nigh. Though that’s the least of one’s concerns, given the many fires still burning across our wide brown land, the continuing drought and the adverse impacts the fires, smoke haze, heat and drought are having on the health and livelihood of individuals, communities, primary producers, businesses and industries. On top of that, much of Australia is bracing for record high temperatures in coming days – the ACT is expected to experience December maximums in excess of 40oC for the first time on record. I’m hoping this isn’t a new normal and I’m wishing for rain. All I want for Christmas is rain. Glorious. Widespread. Rain. With the exception of our hard-working delivery squad and some eager beavers, our CW team is taking a well-deserved two-week break. The next edition is on 2 January 2020, and our office will reopen on Monday 6 January. Meanwhile, dear readers, we wish you and all of our advertisers (who make this free publication possible) a safe and happy holiday season. May you find your own special reasons to be grateful each day … it boosts your wellbeing. - Julie Samaras

In the ACT this summer, sprinklers or other irrigation systems can only be used before 9am and after 6pm.

Records could fall in ‘exceptional heat’ Record-breaking temperatures could be on the horizon as Australia swelters through an intensifying heatwave. In a severe weather update from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) posted on Monday 16 December, meteorologist Dr Adam Morgan said Australia is at the “start of a week of exceptional heat that is likely to break numerous December and all-time temperature records across the country”. Dr Morgan said the temperature may even approach, or exceed, Australia’s warmest day on record which, as at Tuesday 17 December, stands at a nationwide average maximum 40.3 oC set on 7 January 2013. Locally, it is predicted to hit 43 oC on Saturday 21 December which would top the previous high of 42.2oC recorded in February 1968. It would also become Canberra’s warmest December day on record. It reached 39.2oC on 21 December 1994. In addition to the high temperatures, the BOM is forecasting severe intensity heatwave conditions. At this rating the heat can be challenging for vulnerable people, such as those over 65, pregnant women, babies and young children, and those with a chronic illness. Simple tips include: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid being 8

outdoors between 11am and 3pm, and seek shade when outside. Overall, the BOM 2019/20 Summer Outlook is forecasting above-average maximum temperatures for most of Australia, with the eastern states likely to be drier than average. BOM head of long-range forecasts, Dr Andrew Watkins, said Australia’s outlook was being influenced by one of Australia’s main climate drivers. “The key culprit for our current and expected conditions is one of the strongest positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events on record,” Dr Watkins said. “A positive IOD means we have cooler than average water pooling off Indonesia, and this means we see less rain-bearing weather systems, and warmer than average temperatures for large parts of the country.” Reduce your water use As the region continues to head into a hot, dry summer, the ACT Government has launched a new awareness campaign to educate and encourage Canberrans to reduce their water use. The ‘Care for Water’ campaign, led by Icon Water, encourages the ACT community to become ‘water wise’. The Icon Water campaign is being supported by the ACT Government and the Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council. In terms of introducing greater

water restrictions in the ACT, an Icon Water spokesperson said a key part of the decision is dam levels – but they’re not the only factor. “We use a dam level range of 35-40% full as an indicator that Stage 1 water restrictions may be required. We use a range because there are other factors that need to be included at the time of the decision: weather outlook – when is it likely to rain again?; consumption rate – are we using more than expected?; time of year – which relates both to weather and consumption; other factors – such as bushfires and water quality,” the spokesperson said. “Trusting that Canberrans will reduce their water usage and based on historical data, our modelling indicates that it is still unlikely that we would need to trigger water restrictions until the end of 2020 at the earliest, if at all.” What can you do? • Limit time spent in the shower: aim for four minutes. • Make sure your toilet isn’t leaking: a leaky toilet can waste 96,000 litres of water a year. • Catch running water while waiting for it to warm up. Use it to water plants, rinse dishes, wash fruit and vegetables, or put it in the fridge to drink later. • If you’re using a sprinkler or other irrigation system during spring, summer or autumn, you can only have them on before 9am and after 6pm (part of the Permanent Water Conservation Measures). • Consider a rainwater tank: You can have your tank connected to your outdoor taps or even plumbed into your toilet or laundry. Toilets use approximately 14% of drinking-quality water in the house and washing machines use around 16%. • Wash your car on the lawn, using a bucket, hose with a trigger nozzle, or highpressure cleaner.

gardens and at work are available online at iconwater.com.au/ savewater

AROUND THE REGION Queanbeyan-Palerang: Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council announced on 11 December the need to suspend grading on some unsealed roads in rural parts of the Local Government Area due to ongoing dry conditions and a lack of access to water. Grading a typical 1km section of road uses between 30,000 and 40,000 litres of water. Water restrictions are also in place with Bungendore on level 1 water restrictions and Braidwood moving to Level 3 restrictions on Friday 13 December as a result of no rain, a rapidly declining primary source of water and high levels of water usage while the community has faced the threat of recent bushfires. Yass Valley: The Yass Valley has experienced significantly below average rainfall but, according to the Yass Valley Council, is faring better than other parts of the state with the Yass Dam sitting at approximately 97% capacity. Yass Valley Council will continue to maintain its unsealed road network through targeted repairs until weather conditions allow grading of the unsealed road network to be achieved in a sustainable way that is not detrimental to the road surface. Goulburn Mulwaree: All areas of Goulburn and Marulan with reticulated water moved to amber level water restrictions, the second level within Goulburn Mulwaree Council’s Water Use Policy, on 1 December. The region has been on green level restrictions, the permanent water conservation level, with a target consumption of 270 litres per person per day. Under amber level restrictions, the target consumption is 230 litres per person per day.

Corrective Advertising ordered by the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory Misleading and deceptive conduct and false and misleading representations by Your Local Plumbing Group Pty Ltd and Shameer Khan Following legal action by the ACT Commissioner for Fair Trading (the Commissioner), the ACT Supreme Court has declared that Your Local Plumbing Group Pty Ltd (ACN 605 979 235) (YLPG) and its director, Mr Shameer Khan, breached the Australian Consumer Law (ACT). The contraventions arose out of misleading advertising by YLPG. Between 2015 and 2018, YLPG advertised in publications including the Yellow Pages, the Canberra Chronicle and the Canberra Weekly under the following business names: -

P1 Plumbing and Electrical Services; P1 Plumbing and Electrical; Your Local Plumber ACT; Tuggeranong Plumbing; Priority One Plumbing and Electrical Services; and Sam’s Local Plumbing; North Canberra Plumbing; Canberra Blocked Drain Services; and Canberra Hot Water Systems and Repairs.

In those advertisements YLPG falsely represented the length of the time YLPG had been in business. The advertisements represented that the business advertised had been in operation in Canberra for at least 25 years, or in some cases 30 years, when in fact YLPG has only been in operation since 2015. By publishing multiple advertisements under different business names in the same publication YLPG also falsely conveyed to consumers that the advertisements were for separate, competing businesses, when in fact they were all for the one business. The Court declared that YLPG engaged in both types of misleading conduct deliberately and that Mr Khan was directly involved in YLPG’s conduct. As a consequence of YLPG’s and Mr Khan’s contraventions of the Australian Consumer Law, the ACT Supreme Court made orders: -

restraining YLPG and Mr Khan for a period of 5 years from making the same or similar representations in future advertisements, whether in connection to these or other plumbing businesses; requiring YLPG to pay a pecuniary penalty to the Commissioner of $100,000.00 and Mr Khan a penalty of $30,000.00; requiring YLPG to publish this corrective advertising and other corrective notices on its various websites; and requiring YLPG to establish and maintain for a period of 3 years a compliance program in order to reduce the risk of breaching the Australian Consumer Law.

news Party safe, Canberra! Canberrans are being encouraged to ‘party safe’ over the Christmas and New Year period and do their bit to keep ACT venues and roads safe. In launching the ‘What Would They Think’ campaign, Police and Emergency Services Minister Mick Gentleman said in a statement “this festive season, consider how you want your night to go and how things can end badly if you don’t have a plan in place”. “At worst, you could injure yourself or someone else, end up in court or wake up in the emergency department. Nobody wants to let down their families, friends and colleagues by losing their licence or causing an altercation.”

Mr Gentleman urged Canberrans to ensure they have a plan to get home, look after their friends and “take the safest option”, such as “taking a cab home, saying no to another drink or asking for assistance”. “We’re also reminding Canberrans that driving under the influence of illicit substances is against the law,” he said. “ACT Policing officers will be patrolling licensed premises and entertainment precincts and Canberra’s roads targeting alcohol and drug related incidents, anti-social behaviour and impaired driving.” ACT Policing will continue the campaign beyond the festive season until the end of next year.

Revised transport timetable Transport Canberra will run a revised bus timetable over the Christmas and New Year period from Monday 23 December 2019 until Friday 10 January 2020 inclusive. On public holidays, bus services will run on a Sunday timetable while on other days during the period bus services will run to the holiday timetable. Late night bus services will be running seven days a week over

this period. Light rail services will continue to operate as normal during the Christmas/New Year period with the exception of public holidays, when light rail will run to a Sunday frequency of every 15 minutes between 8am and 11pm. A special bus service and free travel on both buses and light rail will apply on Christmas Day. For more information, visit transport.act.gov.au

Extra public holiday for the ACT Canberrans will be given an additional public holiday in 2020, with the ACT Government declaring that the Monday following Anzac Day will be recognised as a public holiday.

This will be in addition to the public holiday being observed on Anzac Day, Saturday 25 April 2020. By declaring this additional public holiday, the ACT will be in line with WA.

Barbecue meals service Fair Canberra, Fijian Methodist Church, United Neasian Movement and Canberra Punjabi Sports & Cultural Association, with the support of Communities@Work, is starting up a barbecue meals service for people experiencing homelessness in Canberra.

The barbecue will be set up in Petrie Plaza in Civic (near the merry-go-round) for the first time on Friday 20 December 4-6pm. It will continue each Friday in the same place, including the Christmas/New Year period, to gauge interest. Vegetarian options will be available.

capital hill So this is Christmas ot all that long ago – depending maybe on your age – the idea that we could mention Christmas in an end-of-year column that is also looking forward would not have been controversial. But it seems some people believe “Christmas” is not politically correct. We live in a multicultural society, constitutionally we are a secular society, that is we do not have an “established” religion, and, let’s be honest, with every passing census fewer Australians claim to have any religious affiliation at all. I agree with all of that but I think we need to lighten up here. Although now that my old network Channel Ten is owned by the big American broadcaster CBS, none of the newsrooms were supposed to have Christmas parties. End-ofyear party, yes, even a “holidays”

party but “Christmas” – no, no, no. Here I think we need to take a leaf out of the book of the American radical feminist author, Naomi Wolf. She hit the news in the past few weeks for calling out Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister, Angus Taylor, for claiming: a) they were together at Oxford, and b) inferring she was among a bunch of secular liberals who didn’t want his college to have a Christmas tree. Taylor, she claimed, was not only guilty of a faulty memory – she wasn’t even a student at Oxford at the same time – but also for dumb stereotyping. Sure, Wolf is a “progressive feminist” and she is Jewish but she insists she is not now, nor has she ever been antiChristmas. In fact, she says she is married to a Christian and loves celebrating Christmas. And why

wouldn’t she? Plenty of secular Australians love Christmas for its family reunions, celebration of friends and holiday relaxation. There are plenty of “nonChristian” Australians who take full advantage of the holidays surrounding Christmas to do the same. Our Sikh neighbours even invite us in for drinks. It’s a pity our federal government hasn’t stopped to reflect on all of this. Instead we have Prime Minister Morrison tying himself up in knots over proposed laws to allow people of faith to discriminate against anyone who doesn’t share their world view. Last week as Sydney choked under suffocating smoke haze, Morrison and Attorney-General, Christian Porter, released a second draft paper on religious freedom. It has 11 changes to their first attempt; all in fact extending the

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

right of believers to be exempted from anti-discrimination laws. Allow me a prediction – these laws will not be enacted but put on the never never. Just like Morrison’s promise to outlaw within two weeks of the Wentworth by-election the ability of private schools to expel gay kids; 14 months later we are still waiting. The schools, by the way, say it’s not necessary because they don’t want to do it anyway. Besides, next year Morrison has to grapple with a realistic policy on climate change and stagnating wages as well as spending more of his surplus on disability and aged care. Merry Christmas.

news Campaign urges Canberrans to be water safe The ACT Government and the Royal Life Saving Society have joined forces to launch the ‘Stay Safe Summer’ campaign, to encourage water safety over the warmer months as people head to pools, lakes, water parks and other swimming spots. “While the scorching summer heat often sees Canberrans escape to the coast, it’s important to be aware that the dangers of rivers, creeks and streams can be just as hazardous,” said Sport and Recreation Minister Yvette Berry. “Inland waterways are the main sites of drowning fatalities in Australia.

Royal Life Saving ACT says the best place to cool off during the warmer months is one of the ACT’s “well supervised” public pools. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

“Two people drowned in the ACT in the past year, both in inland waterways. That’s two people too many.” Royal Life Saving ACT CEO Cherry Bailey said the organisation’s biggest concern heading into summer every year is the “significant number” of people who end up in trouble in the water. “We encourage people to know their abilities and limitations and to investigate swimming and first aid programs to build their skills,” she said. “If unsure, it’s best to visit the well-supervised ACT public pools to cool off, rather than unpatrolled waterways.” ACT Government and the Royal Life Saving Society have come up with drowning prevention strategies and initiatives including a ‘swim ready’ initative targeting those over 45, and a Cultural Competency program to support the aquatic industry workforce to foster participation and water safety in the community. In 2020, two emergency response beacons will be installed at two sites across Canberra, to provide a technological response to emergencies as part of a pilot program. For more information and water safety tips, visit royallifesaving.com.au/act

Protecting older Canberrans The ACT Government has released a discussion paper for public consultation designed to reform certain aspects of the justice system to combat elder abuse. The paper examines the potential introduction of a specific criminal offence of elder abuse and a proposal to provide a more accessible avenue to respond to potential elder abuse through the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The proposals include several options for offences and sentencing provisions for perpetrators engaging in elder abuse, including consideration of corporate responsibility, as well as an increase to the ACAT’s role and scope to remedy the misuse of power of attorney privileges. The discussion paper is available at yoursay.act.gov.au/elder-abuse and submissions are open until 29 January 2020.

Winning ‘Little Chef’ Lola Taylor with her sous chef, Ned, from Hit 104.7's Ned and Josh show.

Major Canberra restaurant to feature kid’s recipe Henry’s restaurant at the Canberra Southern Cross Club was so impressed with the healthy recipe created by eleven-year-old Lola Taylor at the Healthier Choices Canberra Great Canberra Cook Off, the restaurant is now adding her recipe to their special’s menu. Lola won the ‘Little Chef’ category with her delightfully tasty San Choy Bau, which also features in the Healthier Choices Canberra e-cookbook which can be downloaded for free at www.health.act.gov/cookoff As part of the Healthier Choices Canberra Great Canberra Cook Off, kids and teens were challenged to put a healthier twist on their favourite recipes.

Why the healthier twist? Approximately one in four Canberra children are overweight or obese. Childhood obesity is associated with immediate health problems, including asthma, disturbed sleep, psychological ill health, and bone and joint complications. Childhood obesity can also bring on conditions such as diabetes and heart disease much earlier when these conditions usually start to appear later in life. By making easy healthier swaps, talking about whole foods and discussing what’s in our food, we’re supporting our young people to make healthier choices.

news Bimberi Wilderness closed

Volunteers helped remove 108 bags of rubbish from Lake Burley Griffin on Sunday 15 December as part of a clean-up event.

Clean-up collects 108 bags of rubbish On Sunday 15 December, 134 volunteers took part in Cleanup Lake Burley Griffin Day on foot, dragon boat, kayak, canoe and stand-up paddle boards, collecting 108 bags of rubbish in three hours. According to volunteer event coordinator, Tammy Ven Dange,

this year volunteers brought in 46% more rubbish than last year; “this included some things that were only visible because water levels are so low right now”. The clean-up took place at seven different locations across the lake with most of the rubbish from drink and food packaging.

The Bimberi Wilderness will be closed until the end of March 2020, due to “significant fire risk” in remote regions of Namadgi National Park. ACT Conservator of Flora and Fauna, Ian Walker, made the decision on 12 December, and said low rainfall and soil dryness in the area means there is an increased fire risk to people accessing the wilderness area. “The decision to close Bimberi is to minimise fire risk and to make sure no-one is in the area if a fire were to happen. The remoteness of the area and access significantly limits our ability to control fire and respond to people caught in a fire,” he said. “Assessments made in the area indicate that conditions are currently drier than they were the last time the decision was made to close the Bimberi Wilderness in

Success your way As your advisors your success lies at the heart of ours

Des Clear, a partner at MGI Joyce|Dickson, has been working with Carways for the past 20 years. During this time the business has seen substantial growth and increased annual turnover. Carways has also expanded geographically with depots now in Melbourne, Sydney, Lismore, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra, allowing the business to capitalise on a larger market share. Scott also attributes this growth to their strong service offering saying, “we are known for our personal service delivery and we let it sell our business.”

For Scott, being in business is about enjoying what he does, working hard and being rewarded for his hard work. “I enjoy what I do and have never had a day where I haven’t wanted to go to work,” says Scott. It is this dedication that has resulted in a strong work culture, with Des adding, “Scott grew up with Carways and there wouldn’t be a part of the business that he doesn’t understand.” This level of involvement and understanding of all aspects of the business has resulted in a cooperative working environment, built on mutual trust and respect amongst their team. Carways is one of the top 4 companies in the car transport industry. What sets the business apart from its competitors is Carways commitment to service delivery for their customers, owning their own trucks and having an employee base as opposed to subcontracting. This model provides its own unique set of challenges

Level 1, 65 Canberra Avenue, Griffith ACT 2603 | PH: 6162 2600 www.mgijd.com.au

especially if the economy tightens or car sales decline. When asked how they manage these challenges Scott said, “our relationship with Des is integral to our business as he is able to assist us in forecasting and provide strategies to help overcome these challenges.” The relationship between Des and Scott is very complimentary in terms of how active Scott is in the business and Des’s ability to understand the checks and balances to ensure the whole business moves forward. “The role of an advisor is to be an enabler. I share Scott’s vision, provide support whilst mitigating risk and help him achieve his objectives, be they business, financial or personal.” Scott adds, “we have a very honest relationship which allows Des to pull me back when needed. He gets my drive and ambition which ensures a successful partnership.” When asked how Scott feels about his business he said, “I am very proud. I am proud of my staff and the culture we have created as well as our reputation in the industry.” With Des adding, “I look forward to continuing to work with Carways and helping Scott achieve his future objectives.”

With close to 50 years of history the business has grown from a single truck to a fleet of over 65 trucks transporting over 65,000 vehicles each year. It is Managing Director, Scott Brown’s passion for the industry that has contributed to the growth of the business which was founded by his uncle and father.

immediately from the commencement of legislation include: plastic cutlery; expanded polystyrene takeaway food and beverage containers; and plastic stirrers. Twelve months after the legislation is passed the following items will be banned: plastic fruit and vegetable barrier bags; oxodegradable plastic products; and plastic straws, except for people who need them. The government will work with disability representatives on the implementation of the ban to ensure that people with disability have access to plastic straws if necessary. The ACT will become the only jurisdiction in the country to ban fruit and vegetable barrier bags, providing a 12-month lead in time after the legislation is passed for supermarkets and grocers to put alternatives in place. “Products like expanded polystyrene foam containers are a relic of the past and will be banned immediately because they are not sustainable, and there are clear alternatives already available,” said Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Chris Steel. In the longer term, consideration will be given to phasing out other single-use plastic products including: plastic lined coffee cups and lids; singleuse plastic dinnerware; more heavyweight plastic bags; and

cotton ear buds. “We won’t be proposing to ban plastic lined coffee cups or singleuse plastic dinnerware at this point in time, but we are placing them on the list for future action,” Mr Steel said. It is anticipated that the Plastics Reduction Bill 2020 will be debated in the Legislative Assembly in early 2020. In related news, earlier this month the ACT Government launched a reusable coffee cup scheme in partnership with private enterprise, Green Caffeen, to help reduce consumption of single-use cups in the region. At the time of launching, more than 40 Canberra cafés had signed up to the free ‘swap-and-go’ model, which allows customers to order their coffee in a reusable cup that can be returned to any participating café. The partnership sees Green Caffeen distribute CBR co-branded cups into rotation that contain recycled content and will also be recycled into new cups at the end of their lifespan. Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, Shane Rattenbury, said the scheme makes it easier for Canberrans to stay sustainable, “even if you forget to bring your cup along when you go on a coffee run”. To register and participate in the scheme, download the Green Caffeen app on your phone from your app store.

Food donation drive Libraries ACT has partnered with OzHarvest in a food drive to support Canberrans in need. The food drive has been created as an alternative to the popular Food for Fines program which ended when the ACT Government abolished library fines in November. Sealed tins or packets of non-perishable food items can be taken into any Libraries ACT

branch, including the ACT Heritage Library, until 31 January 2020. All food will be donated to OzHarvest Canberra. Donations must be dropped off during opening hours and cannot be donated through library return chutes. Damaged, broken or out-of-date food items, perishable food, pet food, and non-food items will not be accepted.

news Plan to create a healthier population A shift in focus from treating illness to preventing illness is reflected in a new ACT Government plan to support Canberrans to be healthy and active across all stages of life. The Healthy Canberra: ACT Preventative Health Plan 2020-2025 sets out a framework for preventing chronic disease and supporting improved health and wellbeing outcomes, with the aim of keeping Canberrans well and out of hospital. The Healthy Canberra Plan has five key priority areas: supporting children and families; enabling active living; increasing healthy eating; reducing risky behaviours; and promoting healthy ageing. The Plan will deliver tailored approaches to different population groups recognising their health needs and priorities. It will address the leading lifestyle risk factors – tobacco use, dietary risks, physical

inactivity and alcohol use – that contribute to over a third of the total burden of disease in Australia. According to ACT Government statistics, 48.7% or almost half of all adults in the ACT live with at least one chronic disease; 64% of Canberra adults are overweight or obese; and approximately one in four children in the ACT are overweight or obese. Heart Foundation general manager of advocacy, Rebecca Smith, said their research corresponds with the ACT Government findings. “Obesity rates have risen in the ACT in the last 10 years with nearly two in three adults (64%) being overweight or obese. The proportion of adults in the normal weight range has also dropped in the last decade to 35% – which means 18,800 fewer people in the

ACT are in the healthy weight range,” Ms Smith said. “The number of people not meeting the physical activity guidelines is still alarmingly high and ACT men and women have the lowest rate of adequate vegetable consumption in Australia, with 96% not eating enough veggies for good health.” Ms Smith said a comprehensive preventative health plan is crucial in supporting people in the ACT to live well and stay healthy for as long as possible. “In 2017-18, there were more than 8,700 hospital admissions in the ACT that could have been prevented and more than 34,500 bed days avoided, according to the Australian Institute of Health and

Bushfires impact on Kings Highway The early start to the bushfire season has had an impact on the Kings Highway with those heading to the coast encouraged to be prepared for extra challenges. Speaking at the launch of this year’s King’s Highway road safety campaign, ACT Policing Acting Superintendent Traffic Operations, Marcus Boorman said “there have already been several lengthy closures, and some highway infrastructure has been damaged. This means drivers need to be more vigilant this summer”. “Be prepared for the unexpected. Your trip may take a bit longer than usual, so allow extra travel time, take a break before you get tired, and share the driving if you can.” Drivers are encouraged to check NSW Road closures via the Live Traffic NSW website – www. livetraffic.com – for updates on conditions. The Kings Highway was closed in both directions between Braidwood and Nelligen

Welfare (AIHW).” Ms Smith said. “This all shows us that people in the ACT are not as healthy as we would like them to be and that a plan which is focused on preventing disease before it occurs will reduce the amount of illness and suffering in the community.” A new Preventive Health Coordinator will be appointed in early 2020 to oversee the implementation of the plan across ACT Government. The Coordinator will work in partnership with community and health sector organisations to implement a range of actions under the plan to help keep Canberrans healthy and active.

on Sunday 15 December. Since 2008, ACT Policing and the Kings Highway Road Safety Partnership (KHRSP) have run an annual summer road safety campaign focusing on the Kings Highway. The campaign reminds drivers to obey speed limits, take regular breaks and remain patient and alert when driving in heavy traffic on the highway in the holiday season. This year, the partnership wants drivers to know there will be an increased police presence along the full length of the highway. This summer’s campaign will continue to target holiday traffic between the ACT and the South Coast into February 2020. Locally, ACT Policing is reminding drivers to have a plan and not drink and drive or drug drive this festive season. Police will be targeting drivers during December and January as part of the joint road safety campaign with the ACT Justice and Community Safety Directorate.

Signature Strata advertising moment

Signature Strata – recognised for excellence in service The award-winning team at ‘that pink strata company’, Signature Strata, are committed to providing each and every client with exceptional strata management services, with a focus on client service and experience. Their exceptional work recently saw the Signature Strata team take home four of the eight awards at the 2019 CHU SCA (ACT) Strata Community Awards, and named finalists in another two categories. Partner and General Manager Nina Cannell was named the Strata Community Manager of the Year for the second year in a row, Executive Strata Manager Deb George took home both the Essay Award and the Professional Commitment to Service and Ethics Award, and Executive Strata Manager Rob Craven was awarded the President’s Award. “It was really exciting to win four,” says Nina. “We’re really proud of our team. Although they’re all individual awards, none of them can be achieved without the whole team actually being part of that.” Born in April 2017, Signature Strata is the brainchild of Nina and business partner Leisa Newman. The pair saw a need for a different model of strata service delivery in Canberra, and combined their wealth of strata and real estate knowledge and experience and recruited a specialist team, with over 50 years of combined experience in strata between them. “We built our team from the top,” Nina says. “We made a conscious decision to hire more experienced and more senior staff, so we could filter that experience down to the client service.” The team say their award-winning approach is more necessary than ever, in the wake of building defects and safety concerns across the ACT and Australia; partner Leisa Newman says the “industry has to perform” to meet the newer, higher expectations of owners. Despite being at the top of their game, the Signature Strata team are always striving to improve their client service offerings. Executive Strata Manager Rob Craven says the team also

employs a consistency of approach; clients can be assured that they are receiving accurate and personalised guidance. “You certainly hear a lot throughout the industry that the answers given to clients differ between companies and even sometimes managers from the same company,” he says. “We spend so much time workshopping an issue as a team and settle on one outcome, and that’s the way it is consistently across the office. We also build our personality into our responses and interactions with clients, so it never feels like they are talking to a robot.” “It’s such a simple point of difference: we do this better because the clients deserve better,” adds Executive Strata Manager Calli Fenwick. “Owners in Canberra need someone who provides simple things: reliability, open communication, trustworthiness, followthrough, responsiveness, proactiveness and people who will action their requests. “The client comes first, they’re the focus. We don’t have targets like a bigger business might have. We constantly talk in our staff meetings about what we can do better for the client and the feedback we’re receiving from owners. “These owners’ homes are their biggest investments. Always having that in the back of your mind is incredibly important … most of the time you’re dealing with that persons’ ‘soul’, their home.”

Rob Craven, Nina Cannell and Deb George each took home awards from the SCA (ACT) Strata Community Awards. Deb says Signature Strata’s point of difference is their “depth of knowledge” and ability to provide the correct guidance.

Signature Strata picked up four out of eight awards at the 2019 CHU SCA (ACT) Strata Community Awards, and were finalists in a further two categories.

news Fanning’s jersey part of enlivening exhibition Each year the National Museum of Australia and the National Australia Day Council host an exhibition of significant objects chosen by eight extraordinary 2020 Australian of the Year state and territory recipients, which tell us something about their lives, aspirations and experiences. For this year’s exhibition, 2020 ACT Australian of the Year Katrina Fanning chose the Jillaroos jersey she wore during the first women’s international test match against New Zealand in 1995. Her jersey is presented at the Museum as part of an extraordinary collection from this year’s batch of Australian of the Year finalists, including a ceramic dove, a statue of a Hawaiian God, and a pair of Antarctica hiking boots. Each deeply personal and revealing item is accompanied by a

moving story that gives the objects even more weight. Ms Fanning is a pioneer of rugby league and women’s sport at large, also a mentor and proud Wiradjuri woman. She tells Canberra Weekly the match and, by extension, the jersey represents a turning point for the recognition of women in the sport. “There’s not a stitch of sponsorship on it because no one wanted it, so we paid for it all ourselves. “It’s a nice symbol and reminder; it’s 25 years next year since that match, and now we had at the women’s international 9s at the end of the season the women being paid as much as the men.” Now chairing the NRL’s Indigenous Council and a Raiders board member, Ms Fanning has provided advice to the code

on developing pathways and participation. “I like to think I’ve done more off the field than I ever did on it,” she says modestly. Ms Fanning says she’s driven to give back due to how greatly beneficial the opportunity to play sport was for her. “To see so many of our elite women doing that and more, getting more opportunities for more women, it’s just wonderful to see that legacy continue. “What that does for little girls across the country, but also little boys, there’s boys now growing up knowing women play elite sport. “It changes their view on gender issues dramatically, and I think over the next few generations that’s going to help us be a better society in general.”

Check before donating The Australian Charities and Notfor-profits Commission (ACNC) has called on Australians to ensure their holiday season donations are going to registered charities. ACNC Commissioner Dr Gary Johns says Australians’ generosity is evident in the festive season, but warned potential donors against giving money or goods to organisations that aren’t registered charities. The ACNC says people looking to donate should: search the ACNC Charity Register, check with the charity to see what goods are needed, and donate

with caution. “Through the Charity Register, you can see a summary of a charity’s activities, financial information, where they operate and who they help,” says Dr Johns. “You can also use the Charity Register to check whether the charity has Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.” Dr Johns also reminded people they are entitled to request identification before committing to a donation when approached by a collector, and to be cautious with their personal information when making online donations.

Tasmanian cartoonist Jon Kudelka took out the Behind the Lines 2019 Cartoonist of the Year, with his work inspiring the exhibition’s The Greatest Hits Tour theme. Image supplied.

MoAD provides an all access pass to The Greatest Hits Tour An election year is always a big one for those in the field of political satire. “It’s a bit of a rejig, a change of personnel, and they have to actually talk to people, and the disparity between what they say and what they

actually do is always good fodder,” says Jon Kudelka, Behind the Lines 2019 Cartoonist of the Year. Framed by the world of rock music and under this year’s theme, The Greatest Hits Tour, the work

of Australia’s leading political cartoonists has been laid out at MoAD, as it is every year for the annual Behind the Lines exhibition. “I think a dodgy, greatest hits cover band is not a bad metaphor for the government that got in,” Mr Kudelka smiles. Curator of this year’s Behind the Lines, Jennifer Forest, says that the theme for this year’s exhibition represents the loud and noisy year of politics in 2019, both in Australia and overseas. “The 2019 Federal Election played out like a battle of the bands, with a playlist of old favourites and some brand new tunes,” Ms Forest says. Outside the election, Mr Kudelka says the events of 2019 have provided him with plenty of material, particularly of late. “There’s obviously been the fires and people starting to realise climate change is a real

thing, and the politicians are at best paying lip service to doing anything about it, and that’s almost difficult to joke about because it’s quite terrifying.” This year, Behind the Lines features over 80 artworks from over 30 political cartoonists from across Australia. Mr Kudelka says the way his works, and those of his contemporaries, were laid out was particularly interesting. “We’re very close to our own work, so it’s very interesting to have an objective view of which ones were significant to other people. “It’s interesting to see it in a museum, curated, then put on a wall into a coherent narrative.” Behind the Lines 2019 is on display until December 2020; MoAD is open 9am-5pm daily; moadoph.gov.au/btl - Denholm Samaras

2019 words of the year The term ‘voice’ has been named by the Australian National Dictionary Centre (ANDC), based at the Australian National University, as Australia’s 2019 Word of the Year. Each year, ANDC picks a word or expression that has gained prominence in the national conversation in the past 12 months. ANDC defines ‘voice’ as “a formal channel for Indigenous input into the making of laws and policies affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people”. Others to release their 2019 ‘words’ of the year include: Macquarie Dictionary: ‘Cancel culture’ – 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, a ban on playing an artist’s music, removal from social circles, etc., usually in response to an accusation of a socially unacceptable action or comment. 28

The People’s Choice word of the year was ‘robodebt’ by a handful of votes ahead of ‘eco-anxiety’, ‘anecdata’, and ‘whataboutism’. Merriam-Webster: ‘They’ – a personal pronoun. More recently, ‘they’ has been used to refer to one person whose gender identity is nonbinary. The shifting use of ‘they’ has been the subject of increasing study and commentary in recent years. Lookups for ‘they’ increased by 313% in 2019 over the previous year. Collins Dictionary: ‘Climate strike’ – a protest demanding action on climate change. Collins’ lexicographers observed a 100fold increase in its usage in 2019. Oxford Dictionaries: ‘Climate emergency’ – a situation in which urgent action is required to reduce or halt climate change and avoid potentially irreversible environmental damage resulting from it. Usage of this term also increased 100-fold in the past 12 months.

Hayman Partners advertising moment

The most coveted property features of 2020 Stunning kitchens and bathrooms, landscaped gardens and single level dwellings are always in huge demand in the capital, but what are the details expected to command the most attention in the New Year? Property experts Hayman Partners have pulled together the Top 5 most coveted property features of 2020. How many does your home have?

A minimalist dream: the butler’s pantry and handle-free storage of current listing 98 Edgeworth Parade in Coombs.

Super clever storage solutions “People want to exhale when they walk in their front door after the chaos of the day,” says Hayman Partners principal, Brett Hayman. “That means clutter-free rooms with storage that’s integrated cleverly into the home.” Butler’s pantries and wine cellars are soughtafter storage solutions, but strategically-placed study nooks, well-designed walk-in-robes and handle-free cupboard storage is just as popular. A room with a view People live in the bush capital for a reason, and homes with a view of nature or one of our icons will always be coveted. Just as Canberrans love waking up to great coffee, the first thing they see out their bedroom window can have a huge impact on the kind of day they have. “If you’re in the process of building a new home, make access to great views an absolute priority,” says sales consultant Lauren McDonald.

Fox and Bow Cafe in Farrer is a favourite with people in Woden Valley.

This listing in Beaumont Close, Chapman, had what could only be described as a dream yoga room. The house was under offer at the time of print.

Proximity to really really good coffee Beyond describing the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and garages a property has, Hayman Partners sales consultant Tom Beinke is starting to add proximity to a great cafe as a key feature of his listings. “We’re pretty spoiled for choice in Canberra,” Tom admits. “And some of our best cafes are actually out in the suburbs. Think Fox and Bow in Farrer, A Bite to Eat in Chifley and Knox in Watson.” If you’re thinking of selling in 2020 and you’re close to an excellent latte, you’re already one step ahead. A space in which to do absolutely nothing Some call it a retreat, some call it a chillout zone – but whatever you call it, more and more Canberrans are looking for it. Homes with a dedicated room or area for yoga, meditation and general mindfulness will be in huge demand in 2020. “Buyers are looking for a room with great ventilation, away from the busy areas of the home and with minimal technology,” says Hayman Partners sales consultant, Tina Meir. Namaste.

A resort-style backyard The new decade will be much less about Hills Hoists, a small tin shed and huge expanse of lawn and more about pools, spas, outdoor kitchens and a stunning deck. Buyers across the region are loving homes that are pure luxury both inside and out; with beautiful outdoor areas not only adding space to a home’s footprint but providing much-needed downtime in the great outdoors.

With a dining room overlooking Telstra Tower and the iconic buildings of the parliamentary triangle, this apartment in Barton was under offer quickly.

This festive season, Vinnies is expecting to provide over $500,000 in emergency assistance to more than 3,000 families and individuals in need in the Canberra region. In the last year, the two greatest requests for assistance were for help with food and utilities. The Vinnies Christmas appeal ends on 31 January. Donate by visiting any Vinnies shop, calling 13 18 12 or via vinnies.org.au/christmasappeal 32

Peace pole

Sutton students and Principal Clare Pritchard and Rotarians Michael Rabey, Darren Kaehne and Laura Fulton with the new Rotary peace pole.

Sutton Public School, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bungendore and assisted by the Lake George Men’s Shed, has joined a Rotary initiative to put in place 100 peace poles in Australian schools by 2021 to coincide with the centenary of the establishment of Rotary in Australia. The peace pole program had its beginnings in 1955 in Japan. More than 200,000 peace poles have been installed in some 200 countries around the world, symbolising the common wish for peace and a silent reminder to think and act in the spirit of peace.

Junior Landcare grants A number of schools in the ACT and surrounding region have secured a grant towards building and sustaining a greener future as recipients in the latest round of Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants. This program offers grants of up to $1,000 for Australian primary schools and early learning centres across the country. The grants aim to help fund young Australians with hands-on projects focusing on sustainable food production, improving waste management practices and enhancing native habitats.

A scandal in every bite Passionate cook Gina (Dawn French) was once married to Leo Vincent (Iain Glen), a successful entrepreneur, chef and hotel owner in Cornwall. Now married to the glamorous Sam (Emilia Fox), Leo’s business has continued to thrive. When Sam has suspicions that Leo is having an affair she confides in Gina, confident that she’ll recognise the signs. But the secrets and scandals that spill out are proof that sleeping with another woman’s husband is never a good idea – even if he was your husband first. Delicious (M) is an honest and compelling story of love, sex, lies, betrayal – and food – where things are never as they seem.

Whether served up as a side dish at a barbecue or eaten as a wholesome lunch, you can’t go past a delicious and simple summer salad! WITH FOOD WRITER, LIBBY KIMBER

Spicy and sweet courgette and sultana salad The Dirty Dishes: 100 Fast and Delicious Recipes by Isaac Carew, Published by Bluebird, RRP $39.99. Serves: 2-4 100g sultanas Around 50ml warmed apple juice, for soaking (optional) 2 courgettes Juice and zest of 1⁄2 lemon 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Sea salt and black pepper Pinch of chilli flakes 50g blanched hazelnuts 95g pea shoots Handful of parsley, chopped 52

1 Tbsp fine table salt 1 tsp mustard seeds 11⁄3 cups water 2

⁄3 cup apple cider or white vinegar

11⁄2 Tbsp caster sugar 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper Small mint leaves, to serve Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice onions and cucumbers into very thin rounds. Place into a large bowl, sprinkle over the salt. Toss gently to coat. Cover and set aside 30 minutes. Tip the mustard seeds into a small, dry frying pan. Place over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan for 3-4 minutes until warm and aromatic.

Place the sultanas in a medium bowl and pour over the warmed apple juice or 50ml warm water. The sultanas should be just covered by the liquid.

Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, pepper and warm mustard seeds in a large jug, stir to dissolve the sugar.

Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the courgettes as thinly as possible. Alternatively you could use a grater. Toss the courgettes with the lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt and the chilli flakes. Allow the acidity from the lemon to ‘cook’ the courgette.

Using your hands, squeeze the onions and cucumber, in batches, over the sink to remove excess liquid. Place the onions and cucumber into a tall, clean jar or deep glass bowl. Pour over the pickling mixture, making sure the vegetables are covered. Refrigerate overnight.

Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts lightly in a frying pan, then transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and lightly crush.

Spoon onto a shallow bowl, scatter with mint leaves and serve.

Drain the sultanas and add them to the courgettes along with the pea shoots and hazelnuts. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with the parsley and lemon zest.

Serving suggestion: this clean, crisp refreshing salad is delicious served with seafood, chicken or schnitzel. Also perfect at Christmas time with ham, turkey, prawns and oysters. The salad will keep in a clean jar in the fridge for 1 week.

5 holiday novels

Jeff and Michael Popple recommend five good novels for the holiday period. More of their reviews can be found on their blogs: murdermayhemandlongdogs.com and the unseenlibrary.com

The Last Resort by Marissa Stapley Allen & Unwin, $29.99

The Last Resort makes for great beach reading. Set on the luxurious Harmony Resort for couples on the gorgeous Mayan Riviera, it follows a group of guests who have come to the resort to solve their marriage problems under the guidance of celebrity power couple, Miles and Grace Markell. Of course, everyone on the resort has secrets and when murder and a deadly tropical storm strike, loyalties will be tested and dark truths revealed. An easy flowing and enjoyable domestic thriller, it is a good book to take on holidays, hopefully to a less stressful location than the Harmony Resort!

Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters Hachette, $32.99

Offering less drama and more romance is this fun debut by Rachel Winters. Long-suffering assistant Evie Summers will lose her job unless she can convince her film agency’s biggest and most difficult client, Ezra Chester, to finish his script for a Hollywood rom-com. Unfortunately, the manipulative Chester will only put pen to paper if Evie can prove to him that you can meet

and fall in love like they do in the movies. The result is a series of amusing, contrived ‘meet-cute’ set-ups, as Evie works her way through a string of unsuccessful and increasingly silly rom-com scenarios. Romance for the Netflix Generation.

Traitors of Rome by Simon Scarrow Headline, $32.99

For some exciting historic fiction these holidays, be sure to check out the latest novel from Simon Scarrow, Traitors of Rome. Tribune Cato and Centurion Marco are serving at the border with Parthia in AD 56, preparing for the inevitable war. In order to delay the upcoming invasion, Cato travels into Parthia as an ambassador, while Marco leads his troops to quash a rebellion. Both must overcome treachery and the manipulation of spies if they are to survive. This is an excellent ancient Roman novel that features a good blend of action, intrigue and espionage. A compelling and clever story.

The Light at the Bottom of the World by London Shah Hyperion, $32.99

Make sure to escape the heat this summer by diving into the deeps with this fascinating young

adult, dystopian novel. In the future, Earth has been completely flooded, and humanity now lives deep below the waves. In order to save her imprisoned father, Leyla McQueen enters a deadly submersible race to earn his freedom, but she soon finds herself involved in a dark conspiracy. This great book makes excellent use of its intriguing concept to tell an enjoyable story. The depictions of life beneath the waves are very inventive, and this distinctive setting helps to create a fantastic read.

The Siberian Dilemma by Martin Cruz Smith Simon & Schuster, $32.99

Also offering a fictional escape from the summer’s heat is this latest novel by Martin Cruz Smith, the author of the iconic Gorky Park. Set in the icy depths of Siberia, it finds Moscow investigator Arkady Renko desperately searching for his missing journalist girlfriend, while also interrogating a suspected assassin. The story moves at a good pace and Smith’s sharp-eyed descriptions of Moscow, Siberia and the Russian political process, help to create a strongly atmospheric novel. As with all of Smith’s books, the characters are convincingly sketched, and the plot has a series of good twists as it moves to its cynical climax.

NGA reveals one of the 20th Century’s finest rivalries The lone quote adorning the entry to the National Gallery of Australia’s new summer blockbuster sets the scene both succinctly and superbly: “Nobody ever looked at Matisse’s work as thoroughly as I did. And he at mine.” – Pablo Picasso, 1967. In a century where Ali versed Frazier, Agassi took on Sampras, State of Origin was born, and Collingwood met the Demons in seven AFL grand finals, outside the sporting world, one of the most fiercely competitive rivalries played out, leaving behind a spectacular legacy that’s gracing Canberra this summer. “By looking at each other’s work they improved their own,” Curator and the Gallery’s Head of International Art, Dr Jane Kinsman, says.

Curator and NGA Head of International Art, Dr Jane Kinsman, says the complex and fascinating relationship between Matisse and Picasso saw the artists get the best out of each other. Photos: Kerrie Brewer.

“There were moments where they were very unhappy with each other … But they really became better artists because of the other,” she smiles. The Gallery’s 2019/20 summer blockbuster, Matisse & Picasso, traces the turbulent relationship of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso

Alive with celebration

from its early days during the belle epoque heyday of Paris, through their decades of jockeying for artistic ascendency. Matisse and Picasso didn’t like each other’s paintings at first, but knew immediately the power each had to provoke and push the other. “Both were trying to work out how you depict space, and that was a rejection of, if you like, renaissance space or a single point perspective,” Kinsman says. “They both had the towering figure of Paul Cézanne, the master of French modernism. “Picasso took the distortions and the geometric form, and that formulated his cubism; whereas Matisse took the layers of colour to make a sense of depth … it just threw everything up in the air.” Together, they charted a new course for modern European art in the 20th Century – and for the first time, Australian audiences will be able to see the work of two of history’s greatest artistic rivals side by side.

The exhibition draws on more than 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, illustrated books and costumes to tell a story of these two masters never before told in Australia. The exhibition brings together numerous works that are rarely seen together – made possible through the generosity of 22 international private and institutional lenders; with many of these works being seen in the southern hemisphere for the first time. “There’s a range of new art that people won’t have seen in Australia; they may have seen elsewhere in their travels perhaps … It’s a pleasure to bring things to Australian audiences,” Kinsman says. As the curator, she says the process of gathering the works from the various collections involved international visiting, “lots of letters, emails, and follow-up emails”. “I’ve been very pleased with a lot of the loans, and it also means we can highlight our own collection, which has a breadth in terms of drawings, Belarus costumes, some paintings, and some beautiful suites of prints.”

The Gallery’s 19/20 summer blockbuster exhibition Matisse & Picasso traces the turbulent relationship of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso over many decades.

The Gallery’s Director, Nick Mitzevich, says Matisse and Picasso both took art in a new direction. “Each used the other as an artistic foil and drew inspiration from their rivalry … This creative friction – over half a century of artistic

rivalry – turned the art world as we knew it on its head,” Mitzevich says. Matisse & Picasso is on show at The National Gallery of Australia until 13 April 2020; nga.gov.au/matissepicasso - Denholm Samaras

Aussie style

Five Aussie babes and their stand-out style moments from 2019.

No one wears red like Nicole Kidman, and she proved that at this year’s Golden Globes in January, donning a burgundy, full-length sequin dress and accessorising with a spherical handbag and black bow in her hair.

It’s not an Aussie list without a Hemsworth! Chris Hemsworth gave us a master class in ‘smart casual’ men’s dressing when he was spotted out and about in New York City in June in a patterned suit and plain white tee.

20-year-old Eliza Scanlen was a vision in white at the premiere of Little Women, in which she stars alongside Hollywood heavyweights Emma Watson, Meryl Streep and Laura Dern. She embraced the 2019 trends of statement sleeves and structured tailoring.

25-year-old Dacre Montgomery shot to fame portraying Billy on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. He donned a silk shirt, white tailored pants and suede shoes for the premiere of Stranger Things season three in June, pulling off the look like only he can.

In a departure from her usual red carpet style, Australia’s screen queen Margot Robbie donned a sequinned dress with statement tulle shoulders and hem from her go-to Chanel, for the EE British Academy Film Awards in February.

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle yet effective laser treatment designed to rejuvenate skin by improving the appearance of pores, lightening pigmentation and reducing the signs of ageing.

my face felt flushed and appeared ruddy where the laser had targeted skin damage. Renee applied a soothing layer of Rationale skincare (ProCeramide Balm) prescribed for my skin type and outlined my post-treatment care regime, which included avoiding sun exposure, strong skincare with active ingredients and exfoliants for the first week, and always using a SPF 50+ sunscreen. Over the next seven to 10 days, my facial skin gently shed dead cells, revealing a fresher complexion with more even skin tone. At the review appointment four weeks later, the before and after shots revealed noticeable improvements in fine lines, redness and uneven pigmentation, all of which were softer or less pronounced. Artisan Woden recommends a treatment schedule to maximise the benefits of the Clear + Brilliant technology. Price for one treatment (full face) is $395.

Raised in Queensland in the days before ‘Slip, slop, slap, slide, shade’, my fair (Fitzpatrick type 1-2) complexion has sustained some sun damage over the decades. So, when invited to road-test the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment at Artisan Aesthetic Clinics, I embraced the opportunity. Renee, my expert clinician at Artisan Woden, explained Clear + Brilliant is a gentle yet effective laser treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by improving the appearance of pores, lightening pigmentation and reducing the signs of ageing. With virtually no downtime, it’s ideal as a freshen-up before party season, a big event or to start the New Year looking refreshed. While sipping herbal tea in the calm and welcoming waiting room, I completed a questionnaire about my skin and relevant medical history. Then Renee guided me through a consultation, assessing what my major skin concerns were and confi rming that my skin was a suitable candidate for Clear + Brilliant. She then applied a numbing cream to my face to minimise any sensation the laser might cause. After a relaxing 20 minutes reclining on the treatment bed, small protective googles were placed over my eyes. Renee deftly moved the laser in small even strokes across my face, while monitoring my progress and explaining the process. The sensation was easily bearable, slightly more pronounced along the hairline. When the session was complete,

wellbeing

Focus on ‘presence’ this Christmas I love the present giving and receiving part of Christmas – with small children around it’s impossible to not be swept up in the pure excitement and magic of it all. I’m also someone who loves trying to find the right gift that is thoughtful and really hits the mark, so I have nothing against the gifting side of the silly season. Nevertheless, in all the focus on presents, we can miss the point that the most valuable thing we can give the loved ones around us is our presence. Think about how much of the year we spend being ‘busy’; let this Christmas be a time to slow down and find joy in the moment.

Tips for being present Breathe: To be present to others you first need to be able to be present with yourself. One of the simplest ways to do this is to breathe mindfully. Simply notice your breath, its rhythm and undulations, and for five breaths let everything else (especially your ‘to do’ list) fade to the background. Switch off: The trick to switching off is to

realise you have a choice where you place your attention. Put your phone away, turn off the TV and switch on to your surroundings, whether that’s the beauty in nature around you, your fur babies or your family. Eye contact: It sounds simple but if you make eye contact when you speak with people you’re going a long way to making a better connection. Eye contact is an antidote to multi-tasking, which means whilst you’re having a conversation you’re actually allowing your nervous system to reset. Say no: It’s hard to be present when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Learning to say no to things when you’re feeling overcommitted or just exhausted paves the way to making sure when you do say yes to spending time with friends or loved ones, it feels nourishing rather than exhausting. Play: Holidays are a great time for playing cards, doing a jigsaw puzzle, having a game of beach cricket or dusting off a family board game. Play switches us on to being in the moment in a joyful and easy way.

in the garden Waterwise gardening this summer There are many facets of watering a garden and lack-thereof that we need to take into consideration during the summer months, such as: • The types of plants/gardens we have and their age. Perennial gardens and those planted with local native/Mediterranean-style plants for instance, are much more tolerant with little or no extra watering aside from what falls from the heavens above. Whereas, garden spaces with non-established plants, annual plantings including many

Adding organic matter to your soils, such as compost or worm castings, maximises water absorption and retention.

veggies and plants which aren’t traditionally drought tolerant, require added cultural measures including reliable water regimes to keep them healthy. • The aspect and area your home is located in. For instance, you may live on top of an exposed, west-facing hill in a sparse, newlydeveloped suburb or be located in an established suburb with lots of large, cooling street trees and a protected north-facing block. Some handy water saving tips: • Drip irrigation is an efficient way to maintain soil moisture – minimal evaporation and runoff, hydrates a large area, releases water slowly meaning it is readily absorbed by plant roots, and it won’t run straight through the soil profile. • A healthy soil is a moisture retentive one – organic matter such as compost and worm

castings have excellent water retention qualities. • When establishing plants in a water repellent soil, cut the bottom out of an old plastic pot and place it around the base of the plant, leaving a good 10cm of the plant above ground level. This way you can water without runoff, allowing it to soak into the soil over a prolonged period. • Wetting agents are designed to break surface tension of dry soils and work as an emulsifier. Add them to hydrated soils for best results. Use certified organic wetting agents, as conventional ones contain alcohol and petroleum distillates (detrimental to plant and soil health). You can also make your own using agar agar, a product derived from seaweed that is available from health food shops. Conservationist Gerry Coleby-Williams has

WITH HORTICULTURIST TRACEY BOOL traceyboolgardenwriter.com

written a great fact sheet on wetting agents [jerry-colebywilliams.net/2007/02/27/wettingagents-are-you-buying-trouble]. • Dry soils can become hydrophobic, making them difficult to re-wet. You can overcome this by: de-compacting soils and mulches by judiciously digging with a garden fork or broadfork (do not turn the soil); re-working top 15cm of soil and adding organic matter; re-hydrating soil by watering passively and breaking surface tension; and adding some certified organic wetting agent or make your own.

A burglary occurs in Australia every three minutes and the end-of-year holiday period is peak season. The best way to protect your home against burglary is to know how burglars think. Edith Cowan University Criminology and Psychology researcher, Dr Natalie Gately, spoke to 120 active adult and juvenile burglars, who gave her the low-down on their tricks of the trade. The five key observations for vigilant householders to keep in mind are: burglars are opportunistic; most burglaries are quick affairs and that’s how burglars like it; dogs frighten them; easy targets appeal; and they’re not easily fooled. Burglaries cost the country around $1.6 billion each year; however, the emotional cost is impossible to measure. “Research has shown

that intrusion into a person’s private space causes significant psychological trauma in around 20% of cases,” Dr Gately said. “It pays to know how a burglar thinks so that people can hopefully prevent their homes from becoming targets.” According to Dr Gately, some burglars may not be planning a burglary: “They may just pass a house and see something that’s easy and available for them to get, while others may be trawling the area looking for a suitable house to burgle.” Dr Gately’s research found the biggest deterrent for burglary is a dog, followed by alarms and security doors and windows. She said two-thirds of active burglars reported entering homes through open doors and windows, prompting a reminder to “always remember to lock up and get to know your neighbours”.

Local artist Matthew Curtis has unveiled his Field of Light sculpture at the Iskia development in Campbell. Photo supplied.

Iskia sculpture The LJ Hooker gala auction on 10 December was hailed a success, and is a “special event” for the LJ Hooker team each year. Photo supplied.

Auction gala success LJ Hooker’s gala auction event on Tuesday 10 December was a success, with 12 properties sold unconditionally on the night for a total sales amount of $6,207,500. Twenty-three properties went under the hammer, with the highest sale price of the night a cool $785,000. “[There were] no records set, but lots of very happy buyers and sellers,” said LJ Hooker senior sales consultant, Kaylene King, one of the auctioneers on the night. “The most sought-after property on the night was 18 McCarthy Place, Charnwood; eight bidders registered and competed strongly for the

property. It sold at $420,000 – a terrific result! “There is still plenty of activity at this end of the year and we had registered bidders on 90% of the properties. Whilst all did not sell on the night, most had some bidding. Since the event, we now have several that passed in now under offer,” she said. King said the gala auction event is a “special event” for the LJ Hooker team each year. “It’s a lovely way to end the year, going the extra mile for our customers and clients. The evening was a great success and a special way to wind up our selling year. We look forward to a strong market in 2020.”

Embark topping out

JWLand and Cockram Constructions celebrated the topping out of the Embark development in Lyneham. Artist impression.

Developer JWLand has reached a milestone with their Embark development on Northbourne Avenue, with the topping out of the building on Friday 13 December. JWLand, along with Cockram Constructions, celebrated the milestone – the completion of the top floor structure – with an event on Embark’s top floor. Speeches explained the history behind placing a tree on top of the building –

Local glass artist Matthew Curtis has unveiled his sculpture, Field of Light, at Hindmarsh’s Iskia development in Campbell. At 7 metres by 2.4 metres, the sculpture comprises around 2,000 glass lenses backlit with LED lighting, creating changes in the colour and mood of the piece. “It is up to the viewer to “decide what the light through the glass reminds them of – a starry night, bubbles in champagne, or poppies in a field,” Curtis said of his work. “I also wanted to honour the location of Iskia in Campbell. This is where the national office of the RSL is based and just moments from the War Memorial. This has influenced my design and I hope the field of lights created respectfully reflects this inspiration.” Iskia is recently completed, and has begun to welcome its first residents to the mix of one-, twoand three-bedroom apartments, penthouses and residences on Constitution Avenue.

the practice can be traced back to an ancient Scandinavian tradition, where placing a tree on the top of a new building appeases the treedwelling spirits disturbed during construction. Embark is located in Lyneham, less than 3km from the Canberra CBD with views across to Black Mountain Tower and Mount Ainslie. The development will comprise 160 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across a sevenstorey building, with construction expected to be completed mid-next year.

Ohana A new luxury era for Batemans Bay Batemans Bay NSW 1 Herarde Street Local developer Core Developments is bringing the luxe factor to the NSW South Coast, with their seaside Ohana apartments in Batemans Bay. The first luxury development for the area, Ohana has been designed to suit a range of buyers, including those looking for holiday homes, downsizers looking for a seaside retirement or those looking to invest by the beach. “Core Developments is a family run, Canberra grown business, so the South Coast was a natural progression for us,” says Core Developments director, Ryan Cappello. “Batemans Bay is less than two hours from the Capital and is embedded into our memory as a

childhood holiday destination. We see this as an opportunity to inject vitality and sophistication into the coastline while engaging with the architects at JUDD.studio to make a meaningful impact on the community.” Ohana will comprise 67 apartments: one-, two- and three-bedroom single-storey apartments, two-bedroom two-storey apartments and the stunning four-bedroom penthouse. “We designed the penthouse across two levels with a massive double-storey void to celebrate the views north to Pinnacle Point across Batemans Bay Marine Park and out to the hinterland to the west,” says JUDD.studio director, Nathan Judd. “The wraparound

balcony maximises the outdoor living space and entertaining areas of the dwelling and is a generous 45sqm.” Each residence will enjoy picturesque views and the fresh sea breeze, just a short walk from the centre of town; you’ll feel like you’re on a permanent holiday. The interiors have been designed by legendary designer Mon Palmer, with three gorgeous palettes to choose from. “Colour and texture play a significant role in how we feel in a space, so it was important for us to pull through the three coastal palettes that evoke different emotion,” says Palmer of her design. “In the kitchen and bathrooms, find sandy nudes for Boho Bungalow, ivory and noir for Tropical Luxe, and serene green for Bermudian Boutique.” She’s also designed a luxury rooftop space for residents to enjoy picturesque views, an exotic garden with Bangalow palms and Bougainvillea, sandstone pavement and, the cherry on top – the rooftop pool. “The rooftop pool is generous

with circular shapes and curves following in suit of the building and interiors. Enjoy intimate nights in the curved booth style seating in the cabana or working from a laptop in this inspiring open-air space,” says Palmer. Buyers are able to exchange on $1,000, with the balance of the deposit payable 30 June 2020.

The fully landscaped gardens, with camellia, gardenia and magnolia hedges, are the cherry on top of this stunning home. “Long Beach is a short drive north of Batemans Bay; as you enter the area you discover the quiet exclusive enclave of Long Beach and Maloney’s Beach,” Debney says. “Long Beach is an area where most residents live year-round and enjoy all that the Eurobodalla Coast has to offer. “The Batemans Bay/

Eurobodalla area is a pristine coastal environment, home to many glorious unspoilt beaches and wilderness areas, first class golf courses and marina. It provides a relaxed and easy lifestyle while still being very accessible to major precincts. “The temperate climate allows you to enjoy outdoor activities year-round. Home to many artists, it has a thriving arts community along with excellent schools and sporting facilities.”

Inception

Sunday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2010)

Inventive filmmaker Christopher Nolan combines the mindbending concepts of The Matrix with the heartstopping action of the Bourne movies to create this astounding sci-fi thriller. Set in a world where it is possible to enter the human mind by invading a person’s dreams, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (pictured) as dream extractor Dom Cobb, who specialises in subconscious security.

Friday

pick of the week Home Alone Tuesday, PRIME7, 7pm, PG (1990)

When a young boy – the genuinely appealing Macaulay Culkin (pictured) – wishes his family would go away he finds himself left at home by mistake when the folks leave for a holiday. Cue the bad guys in full pantomime style, with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern incompetently evil as two crooks planning to break into the (apparently) empty house. Still a comedy classic after all these years.

December 20

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Saturday, NINE, 7pm, PG (2017)

More than 20 years after the hit original starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst, it’s debatable as to whether a Jumanji sequel was necessary. But this is Hollywood and rehashing old ideas has become something of a sport. Starring Dwayne Johnson (pictured), Karen Gillan, Jack Black and Kevin Hart, this spirited re-imagining of the tale is full of laughs and goofy entertainment. >i<

My favourite things CHILDREN “If you are going to do foster care and surround yourself with kids you’ve got to like them.”

BOOKS Julia is a fan of science fiction – “I like space/ paradox stories and the escapism”. And, with a degree in psychology, she is also fascinated with serial killer biographies – “what is it that makes them?”

TRUFFLES

Photo Kerrie Brewer

“I love truffle season in Canberra. They have a fantastic taste to them and I find them delicious. It probably helps that they are seasonal that you have to go through months of withdrawal before having them again.”

Julia Rollings 2020 ACT Local Hero

A champion for children’s rights, foster carer Julia Rollings is the 2020 ACT Local Hero. “It’s a cliché but it was a huge surprise to be nominated let alone receive the award, but it’s an honour,” she says. Julia has been a foster carer for over two decades and in addition to raising nine children – seven adopted, two biological – has looked after 48 children through foster care. In 2009, she was awarded the Barnardos ACT Mother of the Year Award for her work as a champion for children’s rights. Julia hopes to use the platform provided by the Australian of the Year awards to shine a light on the need for foster carers and encourage others to put up their hands to help some of the most vulnerable in the community. - Allison Turnbull 162

MARKETS Craft or fresh food, Julia says markets are one of the things “we’d be looking for if we were on holidays in Australia or overseas”. “I think they are a lovely introduction to the local area.”

TRAVEL “I enjoy travelling to places that are very different to Australia. Learning about the people and their way of life is wonderful.”
