This week...

From the editor Stardate, Summer 2019/2020 Day 66: The smokewave has returned, again; bushfires continue to burn in southern ACT and along the NSW coast. I seem to exist in timewarp where it feels like January was eight weeks long, we cancelled New Year’s Eve last week, the Christmas break was months ago and December was a blur, if indeed it ever happened.

Day 1 of summer had dawned with such optimism; plans were being made for fun outings in the bush capital – outdoor cinema and concerts, picnics, walks, river swims – and getaways to the coast. Instead, we’ve had weeks of smokewave, seemingly endless days of the sun glowing like a neon pink disc in dull grey skies, the capital’s usual pristine air replaced by dirty haze redolent of campfire smoke, punctuated by rare blue skies, very occasional rain and a freak hailstorm that pummelled parts of the capital with golf-ball sized missiles.

There have been days and nights of recordbreaking heat, declarations of State of Emergency, State of Alert and Total Fire Bans. We are a people on edge.

Compared to the hell our firies and emergency services heroes have been enduring for weeks, often fighting fires in sweltering temperatures that see me shelter in air-conditioned comfort, I have it easy, yet feel uneasy. To our heroes, we salute you.

After this strange, unprecedented summer, so many questions demand to be answered.

Tuggeranong residents look on at the Orroral Valley Fire on 31 January. ‘Disaster tourists’ flocked to the suburban fringes of Tuggeranong throughout the last week of January as the fire burned out of control. Getty.

‘Disaster tourism’ flames fury and frustration In the last week of January as the Orroral Valley Fire burned out of control, posing a direct threat to residents of far south ACT, ‘disaster tourists’ were flocking to the suburban fringes of Tuggeranong.

“We’ve had a number of reports

from residents in the southern suburbs of the significant amount of traffic coming into the southern suburbs,” said ESA Commissioner Georgeina Whelan.

“It would appear that we have a number of people who are coming

into the suburbs to check out the fire, to take photographs, to undertake what I’m calling ‘disaster tourism’.”

There were reports of disaster tourists blocking roads and driveways, speeding, and even climbing onto the roofs of local residents’ houses to get photos.

“Taking a great photo for Instagram is not worth your life, it is not worth slowing down the response of my staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly to keep Canberra safe,” Ms Whelan said.

“Please don’t get on the roofs of somebody else’s home so you can get that great shot, it’s not worth it.

Please work with me to help keep Canberra safe.”

A number of the photos uploaded to social media had been ramped up via editing to make the disaster appear more cataclysmic than it did in reality.

Gordon resident Morgan Murray told Canberra Weekly that as the Orroral Valley Fire burned out of control, the main road into Gordon was overtaken.

“People were being quite dangerous, too, either flying down the street or stopping in the middle of the road to take photos.

“I’ve never seen that much traffic along Jim Pike Avenue onto Point Hut Road. We stood there and looked on in amazement, I’ve never seen that much traffic in my life.”

Ms Murray said the traffic has eased in her suburb since they moved the Point Hut Road closure up to its junction with Gordon’s Jim Pike Avenue.

Despite that, Ms Murray said she knew a few of her neighbours had left the suburb, concerned for their own safety had the Orroral Valley Fire situation escalated.

“Speaking to our neighbour, I know two of them had evacuated because they were concerned they would get stuck, and everyone else thought these people were idiots.

“There’s only two roads out of Banks and Conder, so there was a concern that if it did escalate there would be a lot of traffic, and the roads out would be clogged.”

Universities take precautions to limit coronavirus risk Despite concerns surrounding novel coronavirus, both of Canberra’s major universities are planning for business as usual, albeit with some precautions in place.

A spokesperson for the Australian National University (ANU) said they have no plans to delay the start of semester and are working to help their Chinese students who have been affected by the Federal Government’s announcement regarding travel restrictions on 1 February.

Around 5,000 students from China are enrolled at ANU and the university is currently working with relevant government agencies to determine exactly how many have been affected by the travel restrictions.

“At this stage, our best estimate is that the majority of these students will be affected by the travel restrictions,” the spokesperson said, 10

with ANU looking into ways to support affected students so they can still complete their studies with as minimal disruption as possible.

In a statement on 30 January, ACT Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerryn Coleman, said there were no cases of novel coronavirus confirmed in the ACT and only a handful of people who have been investigated, with all returning negative test results.

“We wish to reassure the Canberra community that while this situation is evolving there is no need for alarm,” Dr Coleman said.

The ACT Government is advising that anyone who has been to Hubei Province in China will need to stay at home for 14 days after leaving Hubei.

This is consistent with the updated national advice and precautionary approach for all people who have returned from travelling in the Hubei Province in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The ANU noted fewer than 10 of their students have been to Hubei or Wuhan and with classes not due to start until 24 February, there is plenty of time for anybody to complete their period of isolation.

The university is screening on-campus residential students on arrival and helping them with isolation, including making sure they are “cared for and supported with kindness and compassion”; and providing those who are self-isolating with a single studio apartment with their own kitchen and bathroom.

Meanwhile, with orientation week underway, the University of Canberra (UC) is “taking every precaution as advised by the Australian and ACT governments including in relation to the imposition of travel restrictions and self-isolation,” said Belinda Robinson, interim Vice-Chancellor and President, UC.

“We have invested significant resources to support students – both in China and in Australia.

These precautions include, but are not limited to: identifying and contacting up to 600 Chinese students potentially affected by travel restrictions; assessing individual student circumstances and developing options for deferment, intermission or distance study for approximately 300 students still off-shore; providing medical and counselling support and study advice for these students and approximately 300 additional students already in Australia; supporting self-isolation in a dedicated separate residence for three students who, while not displaying symptoms, met the selfisolation criteria; and establishing a triage system for any student arriving from mainland China,” Ms Robinson said.

capital hill Without more integrity in politics we are stuffed s it any wonder that Australians are losing faith in the way our democracy works? The minister responsible for administering a $100 million sports grants program in a way to advantage the Liberal and National parties at the last election is gone, but not for rorting. She’s gone because the government could no longer tough out the scandal.

The Auditor-General two weeks ago released a detailed report into then Sports Minister Bridget McKenzie’s doling out of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds not on merit but as a vote buying exercise. The Auditor found McKenzie ignored the required merit-based assessment of hundreds of volunteer sports clubs around Australia and made decisions so skewed as to be breathtaking.

For example, a club with 45 women members in a safe Labor seat in Adelaide scored highly for help in

the view of Sport Australia for a half-million dollar grant for change rooms and toilets. McKenzie ignored the application and instead gave the funding to a marginal Liberal electorate in the same city for female amenities – except that club had no female players.

In the intervening weeks since the Auditor’s report, the media has been flooded with leaks from inside the government’s relevant offices and agencies. They dramatically illustrated that it wasn’t only the coalition’s political opponents who were angry but political staff and public servants whose internal whistle blowing was ignored by a cavalier minister.

The leaks established pretty convincingly that Minister McKenzie was not acting alone. The coalition’s marginal seats campaigners and the prime minister’s office were in on the act. A scapegoat was needed urgently

but the Nationals’ deputy leader McKenzie was digging in. Then the Prime Minister got lucky. McKenzie was too sloppy in the way she assigned $36,000 to the Wangaratta Clay Target Club of which she was a member. She failed to deal with it according to a strict reading of Morrison’s Ministerial Standards.

The strict reading came from the head of the Prime Minister’s Department, Phil Gaetjens. His confidential report to his boss conveniently found the breach and further re-interpreted the AuditorGeneral’s conclusions to contradict them. But Morrison refuses to release Gaetjens’ handiwork. Talk about not passing the sniff test. And for good measure the Attorney-General, Christian Porter, a Liberal politician whose marginal electorate benefited from McKenzie’s controversial handouts, found no illegality.

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

A sure sign that the PM and his treasurer Josh Frydenberg know the rorts were beyond the pale is new rules recommended by the Auditor will be applied. Frydenberg says there will now be more transparency and accountability.

The last has not been heard of this scandal; the senate plans an inquiry which could lead to more embarrassing revelations.

Morrison’s guidelines state that “the Australian people deserve a Government that will act with integrity and in the best interests of the people they serve.”

He’s right, let’s hope we see more convincing evidence he believes it.

FOR OUR NEW DRIVERS

DON’T BE A LOSER!

LOSE YOUR MONEY, AND MAYBE YOUR LICENCE! In 2017, 3 out of 5 deaths on our roads were P platers … 3 out of 5! Young and novice drivers are disproportionately represented in casualty crashes in the ACT. Between 2006 and 2017, 15 drivers aged 17 to 24 years old were killed in the ACT. Ensuring the safety of all road users is a top priority for the ACT Government. We're committed to achieving Vision Zero, realising the goal of zero deaths or serious injuries on ACT roads.

Statistics confirm that crashes are most likely to occur during the first year of driving on a provisional licence, when the driver is least experienced and driving unsupervised. Evidence also shows that young drivers are more prone to distraction.

CHANGES FROM 1st JANUARY 2020

Additional changes include: • minimum/required supervised driving hours for learners • a new hazard perception test • two P plate stages — red and green • L and P plate drivers will only have up to 4 demerit points • late-night passenger restrictions for red P plate drivers.

FULL MOBILE DEVICE BAN IN FORCE!

Operating a vehicle requires your full attention. Any activity that distracts a driver while operating a vehicle is dangerous, and can result in lane deviations, greater fluctuations in speed and delays in driver reaction time, which could lead to crashes resulting in injury and death. Studies also suggest that hands-free phone use is no safer to use while driving than hand-held devices, because cognitive distraction has the most significant impact on driving performance.

That’s why a FULL MOBILE DEVICE BAN commenced on 1 July 2019 for L and P plate drivers in the ACT. So when you’re driving — in addition to current texting and social media bans — it is also illegal to use Bluetooth hands-free or speaker mode. If you even touch your mobile device — to skip a song or talk-type a message — you could lose up to $600 bucks, 4 demerits and maybe even lose your licence. So if you use your mobile device while driving you could lose big!

These changes are part of the 'Safe Plates' road safety initiative, to help create safer drivers and ultimately save lives.

news Recycling stored during fires About half the paper and cardboard processed through the ACT Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) will be temporarily stored in the ACT, at Mugga Lane and West Belconnen, due to the ongoing bushfire crisis in NSW. The MRF processes around 470 tonnes of paper and cardboard each week, which is then packaged and sent to Tumut in NSW for recycling into paper and cardboard products.

ACT Recycling and Waste Reduction Minister, Chris Steel, said “the operator of the MRF, Re.Group, has advised the ACT Government that although the Visy mill at Tumut has not been directly impacted by

the fires, a number of their plantations and stored wood chips were burnt around the Eden area”.

“The additional storage locations have been determined in consultation with ACT Fire and Rescue to minimise fire safety risks, and ACT Fire and Rescue has also been involved in assessing the stockpiles at the Hume MRF.” The Minister said landfilling of the recycling is “the last resort” and would only be considered if the “recycling industry is unable to recover and increase production levels, and stored material can no longer be safely managed”.

Hail damage insurance forum The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) will hold a forum in Canberra tonight for those affected by the hail storm that swept through the ACT on 20 January.

The ICA will provide insurance claim guidance to home, business and motor vehicle owners affected by the destructive storm, and will also provide the opportunity for policyholders to talk to representatives from their insurer about their individual claims.

“Insurers have received more than 55,000 claims to date, with estimated losses at $514 million. About 70% of claims are for domestic motor vehicles,” said the ICA’s Head of Risk and Operations, Karl Sullivan “ACT policyholders can be personally assisted by the ICA’s disaster recovery experts and the insurers attending the meeting.”

The forum will be held tonight, Thursday 6 February 5.30pm.

SPIRE submissions extended The closing date for submissions to the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal’s inquiry into Planning for the Surgical Procedures, Interventional Radiology and Emergency Centre (SPIRE) and the Canberra Hospital campus and immediate surrounds has been extended.

Due to the impacts of the school holidays and the recent

extreme weather events, the Committee has agreed to extend the due date for submissions to the inquiry to Sunday 23 February.

The Committee’s terms of reference are accessible via the ACT Legislative Assembly website.

news Weather conditions hurt zoo figures As Canberra sweltered through high temperatures last week, the animals at the National Zoo & Aquarium indulged in some cool treats to help beat the heat.

The Bolivian squirrel monkeys, Oriental small-clawed otter, Little Penguins and Sun Bears all shared in a frosty treat thanks to ice donated by FishCo Fish Market, Fyshwick.

Senior keeper Siobhan Block said ice is just one way to help keep the animals cool during days of extreme temperature.

“We do monitor the animals more closely over the more extreme temperatures,” she said. “We do have several methods to keep our animals cool throughout the day.

Depending on the species, it could be a misting system to cool the ambient temperature around the enclosure, it could be extra pools, water bowls, providing flavoured treats as well –

like flavoured water – or ice blocks.”

In addition to the heat, Canberra has also been subject to smoke haze.

Zoo owner Richard Tindale said the impact on the animals appears to have been minimal.

He said several have shown some signs of stress and these have been addressed by veterinarians and keepers. The concerns are for any medium- to long-term effects.

The weather conditions have also hit visitor numbers to the zoo, which, like many Canberra tourist attractions, usually has its busiest weeks of the year from 26 December to 15 January.

Mr Tindale said the revenue raised in this period subsidises the quieter months. Likewise, it is also Jamala Wildlife Lodge’s busiest period.

Jamala subsidises the zoo for the balance of the year and raises funds for the zoo’s continued expansion and

improvement.

As a direct result of the smoke and the publicity surrounding it, Mr Tindale said the revenue between 26 December 2019 and 15 January 2020 dropped by 49%. Jamala Wildlife Lodge bookings also dropped by 20% for January and are on track to drop even further for February.

He said there is a real concern that the publicity regarding Canberra’s air quality could have an ongoing impact on the ACT’s tourism and accommodation market.

Despite the significant decline, Mr Tindale said “we are extremely grateful that at this stage the only impact on ourselves, along with a level of discomfort, has been financial”.

“We obviously wish to see the amazing efforts of the community and government to help those directly affected, including wildlife, to continue to be the main focus.

Bolivian squirrel monkeys were among the animals at the National Zoo & Aquarium treated to frosty fare to help beat the heat on Thursday 30 January. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

However, any government input to bolster tourism in the ACT is appreciated by operators and by their staff, who are getting reduced shifts.”

The zoo has only closed once due to weather, which was on 4 January. There were modified operations from 2pm on Friday 31 January and Saturday 1 February due to the forecasted extreme temperatures.

news Expert warns against fire-ground clean-up An ANU researcher has warned against cleaning up “woody debris” from bushfire ravaged zones, as these can be important for recovering populations of wildlife.

“Fires burn patchily, and small unburnt patches, half burnt logs and dead or firedamaged trees are commonly left behind,” said Professor David Lindenmayer from the ANU’s Fenner School of Environment and Society.

“Our research has demonstrated that these patches and remaining woody debris are very important to recovering wildlife populations.

“Wanting to do something constructive, people and organisations may sometimes feel an urge to clean these up, but resisting this urge can be one of the best things people can do for wildlife.”

Professor Lindenmayer, who studied the recovery of wildlife after the Black Saturday fires in 2009 and major coastal fires in NSW in 2003, said when burnt areas contain small unburnt patches, it helps an area recover much faster.

“The unburnt patches and surrounding unburnt areas are an important source of

18

animals to repopulate burnt areas and they also offer essential food and shelter until burnt areas recover.

“It is important to protect any of these remaining patches by not clearing them, and ideally to manage pest animals and weeds around these areas.”

He said standing fire-damaged trees and logs can provide resources to surviving and recovering wildlife, such as food, shelter and breeding hollows.

“Many trees that look dead will still be alive.

In the months ahead, buds will sprout from under the blackened bark.”

The recovery of wildlife in fire-affected regions is currently of major concern. ANU Associate Professor Michael Braby said the bushfires will have a “huge impact” on native insects, as well as the plants and animals that rely on them.

“They are food for many other animals, and contribute to processes like pollination, decomposition, nutrient cycling and soil aeration, which is vital because if the flowers

of certain plants are not pollinated they can no longer reproduce.

“Sadly, few insects have strategies to escape fire. This means most are killed in the event of a bushfire, and their recovery relies on recolonisation from unburnt areas.

“Many species may well go extinct, especially rare species, or those with specialised requirements, such as specific host plants.”

news Temperature records fall as fire burns Welcome rain and cooler conditions are forecast for the Territory this week, hopefully providing some relief to firefighters tackling blazes in the region.

As at 9am Tuesday 4 February, the Orroral Valley fire continues to burn out of control with the size of the fire covering approximately 68,508 Ha. The fire started on Monday 27 January, likely caused by a landing light from an Army MRH90 helicopter, while the aircraft was on the ground.

The helicopter and crew were conducting aerial reconnaissance and ground clearance to enable access for emergency services personnel who were conducting bushfire prevention measures in the ACT. Defence has taken immediate action to reduce the risk of fires being started by helicopters, including not using certain aircraft lighting in extreme weather conditions.

A Territory-wide State of Emergency was issued on Friday 31 January due to the combination of extreme heat, wind, and a dry landscape forecast for the weekend, but was downgraded to a State of Alert on Sunday 2 February as a result of successful fire-containment operations and more favourable weather conditions.

A State of Alert was expected to remain in place for rural and remote parts of the Territory, with the Orroral Valley fire still active in

Namadgi National Park.

In a statement on Sunday 2 February, ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentlemen said that the fire will continue to burn through the Namadgi National Park.

“The fire has unfortunately burnt through close to 50% of the National Park, and this is likely to grow throughout the week. It is a significant ecological disaster for the Territory, and there will be ramifications that we will need to address in due course,” the Minister said.

“However, we are hugely thankful to our emergency services agencies, as well as those from interstate and overseas, who came to our aid over the past two days.”

Illustrating the challenge of the weekend’s conditions, preliminary data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) suggests a record overnight minimum temperature.

Saturday evening’s temperature dropped to 25.5oC, the previous February record was 24.1oC from the Canberra Airport Comparison site on 6 February 1973. This was beaten on Sunday 2 February with a recorded minimum of 26.7oC, the warmest on record in Canberra for any month.

Preliminary data also suggests Saturday was the hottest February day on record with 42.7oC, up on the previous record of 42.2oC recorded at the Canberra Airport Comparison site on 1 February 1968.

Worksite fatality investigated WorkSafe ACT is investigating the death of a 60-year-old worker on a residential construction site in Denman Prospect.

The worker died at the scene on Tuesday 4 February, after ACT Policing and ACT paramedics were alerted to reports of a man falling from a building being constructed 20

on Temple Terrace. WorkSafe ACT inspectors are working with ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigation team to determine the cause of the incident, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

WorkSafe ACT also continues to investigate the death of a 47-year-old construction worker in January.

news Take 5: Sally and Erica You might have heard the voices of Canberrans Sally Coleman and Erica Mallett, either over the airwaves on Triple J or as rap duo Coda Conduct.

Sally and Erica took over the reins of Triple J’s Breakfast show in January this year, after a stint hosting Weekend Arvos.

1

How have you found taking over the reins of Triple J Breakfast and the transition from Weekend Arvos?

E: Oh maaaaaan, what a ride. So far it has been a whirlwind of huge guests and huge laughs. Going from part-time on weekends to full-time during the week feels like I somehow have more time. Something to do with having a social life again because now I’m free to see friends on the weekend! They’re all rediscovering their friend named Erica.

S: Getting to know the audience has been especially fun. We’ve been getting heaps of messages on the text line and socials saying nice things and getting involved in the conversations. My body is definitely confused about what is happening. I’m not sure you ever get used to 4am starts, just more OK with the idea of them.

2

What goes into preparing each Breakfast show?

E: You gotta mine every aspect of your life for content! You also have to be very across news and current affairs.

S: And it’s really a team effort. We have a very organised producer, a boss who airchecks us often, and an office full of interesting and hilarious people to bounce ideas off.

What led you both towards a career in radio, is this something you envisioned? What led you both towards a career in music?

S: Music led us both to radio. It started as us just mucking around on community radio playing people songs we loved. We always grew up listening to a lot of it [music]. I was obsessed about learning lyrics to my favourite songs.

E: Yeah, it started so organically. Never could have guessed! I think I always knew I would do something creative/communicative but radio never crossed my mind. I think it was meeting each other and finding out we had a secret shared interest in making music that made us confident enough to try [a career in music] out.

What can we expect from Coda Conduct this year?

E: We’re definitely working on new music.

We’ll be getting into the studio during the week some days, after we finish up at Triple J. Long days!

S: Not sure exactly what it’ll look like yet, but we’re ready to work hard to keep the music up, alongside radio.

What’s your go-to thing to do when you come back to Canberra?

E: Hang with my fam!

S: Raid the fridge!

Healthier Choices Canberra advertising moment

Good fuel food for junior sport How does the winter sport season sneak up so fast? Soon we’ll have slipped into the routine of halftime snack rosters and grabbing something from the club BBQ after the game. As we get the kids ready for winter sport in 2020, it’s worth pausing for a moment to think about our weekend sport routines.

We enrol our children in sport for a multitude of reasons: confidence, resilience and social connections, but overall it’s about health, right? We know that healthy

food and water are the best choices to support children’s health and sport performance. Yet often lollies (especially jelly snakes!) pop up as half-time or after game snacks for the team. There must be plenty of other ways to refuel kids during and after the game.

We invest our time in supporting our kids to play sport. We want to make sure we’re refuelling them after exercise – but what is good fuel food and how much do they really need during and after sport?

Did you know that kids don’t need a snack if the match is less than 75 minutes, but they do need to stay well hydrated with water!

Like at school, kids need a quality snack, not simply a sugar hit, to sustain their performance and concentration. In an average game or training session, they burn less energy than most of us probably imagine, so lollies and sports drinks are not necessary.

Sports Dietitians Australia have recently published advice that tells us water and fruit are the best refuelling options for kids at sport: “Fruit has carbohydrates for energy, and important vitamins and minerals that contribute to good health and performance. Lollies may seem like a quick energy boost but compared to fruit, lollies have

no nutritional value and include large amounts of sugar. Lollies are also often sticky, which can cause them to adhere to the tooth’s surface and remain there for long periods of time. This increases the risk of tooth decay.”

With so many families involved in junior sport, there’s an opportunity to set kids up with a better understanding of good fuel food for sport and the importance of drinking water.

So, if your weekly routine is to grab a bag of jelly snakes for the team on the way to the game, think about a refresh and head for the fruit instead.

Check the ‘Halftime snacks for kids’ factsheet and the ‘Grab 'n Go Sports’ flyer for half-time snack ideas and tips for fuelling kids “Oranges and other fruits such as watermelon, grapes and strawberries are more than 80% water, they contain electrolytes such as potassium and a little natural sugar too. This makes them a great snack for hydration. Remember to wash it down with some extra water too, which helps to rinse off the sugar from your teeth and hydrates even more.” – Simone Austin, Advanced Sports Dietitian, President of Sports Dietitians Australia

news Threatened animals evacuated A number of animals were evacuated from the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve last week to escape the Orroral Valley fire which was continuing to threaten the area (as at 4 February).

In a media release on Thursday 30 January, ACT Minister for the Environment Mick Gentleman, said animals will remain at their relocated facilities until conditions allow for their safe return.

“Bushfire preparations are now being undertaken at Tidbinbilla to make the area safer for remaining animals. This includes fuel reduction burns, installation of containment lines, removal of vegetation around key enclosures and the installation of sprinkler systems in holding areas,” he said.

Twenty-six endangered eastern bettongs, which are part of Tidbinbilla’s threatened species recovery program, were evacuated by Australian Defence Force (ADF) aircraft to secure facilities at Mt Rothwell, Victoria.

Two critically endangered southern brushtailed rock-wallabies and two yellow-footed rock wallabies, which require ongoing care, were

being transferred to Taronga Zoo, with additional brush-tailed rock wallabies to be relocated from Tidbinbilla to Mt Rothwell by ADF aircraft.

A small population of critical breeding Northern Corrobboree Frogs and Tidbinbilla’s captive koalas have also been transferred to purpose-built facilities at the Australian National University (ANU). This follows the successful relocation of seven platypus from Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve to Taronga Zoo at the end of December.

The ANU is also caring for a number of other koalas displaced and injured by Australia’s bushfire crisis. ANU researcher Dr Karen Ford, who is an expert in koala nutrition, is running the “5-star koala hotel” on campus in Canberra.

“We have 11 koalas at ANU that have come in from the various fire grounds in the region,” Dr Ford said. “They just keep arriving. There is nowhere else that has the facilities to hold these animals or this many at the moment.

“There are a couple with burn injuries and the rest have come from completely burnt habitat and they are quite skinny.”

The researcher has warned people not to catch, feed, water or care for koalas but to contact local wildlife agencies if they have concerns or come in contact with them.

“You need to know something about koalas to feed them, otherwise you can unintentionally starve them,” Dr Ford said. “Koalas also don’t drink a lot of water and if a koala takes water they may be stressed. If you are not aware of their habits you might not even realise that you are not feeding them appropriately.”

sport Cavalry fall to Giants The Canberra Cavalry’s Australian Baseball League season came to an end at the hands of the Adelaide Giants on Sunday 2 February.

Cavalry qualified for the best-of-three semi-final against Adelaide after defeating Perth 5-4 in the Wildcard Game at The Fort, Narrabundah on Tuesday night, 28 January.

The semi-final series was the first time the Giants and Cavalry met this season with their

regular season match called off due to poor air quality in Canberra.

Game one was played in Canberra with the Cavalry fighting back from 0-5 down to win the game 7-6, sealing the result on a bases-loaded walk in extra innings. The rest of the series was played in Adelaide where the Giants proved too good, winning game two 5-2 on Saturday before sealing the result with a 6-3 win on Sunday.

Brumbies start with a win The Brumbies kicked off their 2020 Super Rugby campaign with a 27-24 win over the Reds in Canberra on Friday 31 January.

The Reds led 17-7 at the break with former Brumby favourite Henry Speight scoring the Reds’ first try of the night, and becoming the first player to score a five-pointer against every Super Rugby side.

However, the Brumbies came out firing in the second period with tries to Tom Wright, Folau Fainga’a and Tom Banks, while debutant

Noah Lolesio’s boot proved key to the result.

The Brumbies’ next match is against the Melbourne Rebels at GIO Stadium, Canberra on Friday 7 February 7.15pm.

In other news, the Brumbies’ naming rights sponsor Plus500 have pledged to donate $500 from every try and $500 from every conversion scored by the team during the 2020 Super Rugby season to bushfire relief.

The club has also announced they will take a Super Rugby fixture to UNSW Canberra

Oval (Manuka) for the first time since 1996. The Oval will host the Stormers in the Round 15 clash on Saturday 9 May, 7.15pm kick-off. The match will be a celebration of the Brumbies’ 25th anniversary, with past legends to feature in a curtain-raiser before the game and other events planned throughout the week.

Canberra Youth Theatre (CYT) have a bold outline for their 2020 season, to make it “a year of challenging and intelligent theatre that expresses the voice of youth.”

As well as announcing three major productions, the company launched a suite of new training programs, further expanding opportunities for early career artists in the ACT. According to artistic director Luke Rogers, “our 2020 season asks some very big questions, explores our identities, and interrogates the connections we make with each other”.

Rogers says 2020 will see CYT produce three exciting Australian works that will challenge and inspire both artists and audiences of all ages.

“Normal by Katie Pollock is a provocative play about disenfranchisement, acceptance, and fitting in … I’ve Been Meaning to Ask You sees young people finally get the answers to the big questions they’ve been seeking.

and design in the Canberra region.

Two early career contemporary glass artists, Madeline Prowd and Marcel Hoogstad Hay, explore the combinations of pattern and form through the medium of blown glass in Distorted Trajectories.

Emerging Contemporaries is a highlight of Craft ACT’s annual exhibition program, showcasing the work of outstanding graduates and emerging craft practitioners selected from the ACT region.

Craft ACT CEO and artistic director, Rachael Coghlan, says these exhibitions demonstrate a bright future for contemporary craft and design, in Canberra and beyond.

She says the exhibitions feature

impressive and high-quality work from emerging and early career artists across all the craft mediums, who “spark new conversations and generate inspiring ideas”.

Emerging Contemporaries also features works from the Honouring Cultures Indigenous Jewellery Project, established by Craft ACT’s esteemed Accredited Professional Member (APM), Jennifer Kemarre Martiniello (Kemarre Arts) and tutored by Wayne Simon at the ANU School of Art and Design Gold and Silversmithing Workshop.

Lantern Festival postponed The Australia China Friendship Society’s annual Lantern Festival, which was to be held this Saturday 8 February, will be postponed until March due to concerns regarding coronavirus.

Now showing

The Peanut Butter Falcon (M) Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, lives in a retirement home in North Carolina. His long suffering social worker, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), is under pressure to keep him put.

One night, dreaming of attending the wrestling school of his hero, the Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church), Zak escapes and stows away on a small fishing boat owned by wayward fisherman, Tyler (Shia LaBeouf).

Based around Gottsagen’s dream of becoming an actor, the movie is a modern retelling of the Huckleberry Finn story.

Loving his VHS wrestling tapes, Zak has an eye-line on attending a wrestling school to become a wrestler like his hero. Conversely, LaBeouf has in recent times shunned his ‘star’, choosing to reinvent himself through independent

cinema. LaBeouf’s Tyler lives an assumingly carefree life free of social constraints, living off of the land and travelling the swamps of Georgia as he likes. We see clues that he may be haunted by something causing him to drift through life. Eleanor serves as a mediator; a voice of reason and social normality that is not immune to being swayed with the ideals that Tyler preaches, and the resounding effect they have on Zak. Set against a bluegrass, folk and spiritual soundtrack, the atmosphere is rich, selling the natural beauty that Tyler treasures so much, and which Zak is learning how to experience.

Verdict: An affecting, if not slightly overly sentimental, experience.

Fans of bluegrass and moonshine will appreciate it. 3.5 stars.

Cut the card stock to fit inside the frame.

Use the die cutter to cut out a small handful of hearts from several shades of coloured paper.

Method

What you’ll need

Coloured paper

Open up your paper bags so they can stand upright.

Stick the hearts to the card stock using Mod Podge.

Overlap the hearts so they cover the card, creating a collage.

Lay out all your materials so you can see everything you have to decorate your bags with.

Coat the collage in Mod Podge to secure the cuttings. Allow to dry.

Use paint brush to paint brush strokes to decorate a bag. This doesn’t need to be perfect; the natural brush stroke looks nice by itself or you can paint a particular design if you like. Be careful not to use too much paint as the paper bag may soften. Allow to dry.

Place the lettering stencils in the desired formation on top of the collage.

Turn on the hot glue gun and glue pom poms onto a bag in a random pattern or in a particular design such as a love heart or the letter of your Valentine’s name.

Use paint and a brush to fill in the stencils. Allow to dry.

Place the completed collage inside the frame and secure the back.

Write your message on the glass in dry erase marker.

Lastly, cut out various paper shapes or letters using scissors and stick onto bags using either the double-sided tape or foam tape if you would like to create a 3D effect.

Helpful hints

Once your bags are finished, fill with goodies and give to your loved ones.

• Cuttings can shift during crafting. This can be patched after the first coat of Mod Podge dries.

• A paint pen can be used instead of a dry erase marker for longer lasting words. Just use water and a cloth to scrub it off.

in the garden

1 Teucrium fruticans is a Canberra-hardy shrub with silver foliage and violet flowers over summer.

2 Ginkgo biloba is a beautiful tree with the most unfortunate smelling fruit.

3 Agave gemniflora makes a bold and architectural statement in the garden.

Four to know: plant guide Terry and Mia’s garden, which I discussed last week, features an astonishing range of plant types. Here are some of the plants that feature throughout the beautifully landscaped property:

1

Teucrium fruticans, commonly known as Shrubby Germander, is a hardy shrub from the Mediterranean region, which grows to around 1.5m tall and wide. Its showy silvery-blue foliage makes it a fabulous contrast plant, giving gardens year-round interest. It’s covered in bee-attracting violet flowers during summer.

T. fruticans, a member of the mint family, grows happily in full sun to partly shaded positions, and isn’t fussy with soil, providing it is well drained. This plant is suitable for Xeriscape gardens as it needs little if any additional watering once it’s established. It is also tolerant of our frosty winters.

2

Ginkgo biloba or Maidenhair Tree is a beautiful and fascinating deciduous tree from South East China, believed to have had a worldwide distribution back in the day. These ancient trees are long lived, with specimens gracing this earth for 1,000 years or more.

Their growth is slow (on account of their enviously long lives) and they reach up to 30m in height and 15m in width. Bark is a variable grey-brown. The lovely bright green foliage is fan shaped and often two-lobed, turning a bright yellow before falling in autumn.

Extracts from the leaves have a long history in traditional medicine.

Male trees develop cones during spring and

the female trees produce round fruits which ripen in late autumn. The fallen fruit is an assault to the senses and an absolute hazard to unsuspecting foot traffic. I can only describe the smell as vomit-like. Surprisingly, the seeds are perfectly edible once thoroughly processed and roasted.

G. biloba grows well in sunny aspects with well drained soils. It tolerates pollution, cold and drought once established.

3

Agave gemniflora, originating from Mexico and known as Twin Flowered Agave, is a striking dwarf Agave growing up to 80cm high and wide. The narrow dark green leaves arch from the centre of the plant, forming a dense rosette.

Mature plants (around three years) produce impressive 3m flower spikes with yellow flowers in pairs. This means the death of the plant as Agaves are monocarpic and die once they flower and set fruit. Sometimes they will throw up suckers in the meantime, however, and they can also be propagated from seed.

A. gemniflora is low-maintenance, droughtand cold-tolerant, and is an excellent pot specimen. They appreciate dappled shade in hot dry climates such as ours and require a sandy well-drained soil. Allow soil to dry out during winter to avoid rotting.

WITH HORTICULTURIST TRACEY BOOL traceyboolgardenwriter.com

The foliage, unusual for a conifer, is bright to deep green. On mature trees, the pollen and female cones develop over around 20 months.

The winged seeds appear in early autumn and have only a short viability.

A. australis has important traditional uses, such as making tools and canoes, using powder from the soot for tattooing, and burning the gum for heating and lighting.

4

4

Agathis australis, or New Zealand Kauri tree, is an evergreen conifer growing 30-50m in its natural environment – it is amongst some of the tallest trees in the world.

The trunk has almost no taper and the thick bark can be ash, blue-grey or mottled purple.

Agathis australis, or New Zealand Kauri Tree, has decidedly unusual foliage for a conifer.

Residents move in to Greenway Views

Residents have begun moving into LDK’s Greenway Views, a seniors living development that offers a “one move promise”. Photo supplied.

The first residents of LDK’s seniors living development, Greenway Views, have begun moving into their apartments.

The $270 million village is now Australia’s largest seniors living development, which repurposed the former Department of Social Services (DSS) office precinct into more than 380 apartments.

LDK offers residents a “one move promise” to ensure residents will “never need to move again”, with low-to-high care options, including dementia and palliative care, available if and when residents may require them.

“Greenway Views is our flagship project, it is delivering LDK’s vision for the future of seniors’ living and is our greatest opportunity to show the rest of Australia how we should be treating our seniors,” said LDK CEO Byron Cannon.

“Our vision is that every senior Australian will be treated with love, decency and kindness in their ageing journey and those values

Report calls for summer-friendly rentals Renting advocacy group Better Renting has released a report on renter’s health during the summer months, with their findings showing renters are “four times more likely” to struggle in the summer heat than those who own their home.

The report, Home baked: housing, heat, and health, argues older Australians, people with mental illness and the socially isolated are most at risk of heat-related health issues, and that climate change effects and an ageing population are likely to make the situation worse for Australian renters.

“People deserve homes that offer them shelter from the heat in summer. What we’re seeing is that renters are particularly suffering,

and their landlords are giving them no relief.

Rental properties should be required to meet minimum standards to be safe in heatwaves,” says Better Renting executive director, Joel Dignam.

Mr Dignam called on governments to act: “more energy-efficient buildings, more trees and vegetation in our cities, and more rooftop solar – these are all measures that will make it easier for people to keep their homes at a healthy temperature”.

“When it gets too hot, it becomes very clear who is getting left behind in our society. We mustn’t let vulnerable Australians become victims to climate change.”

underpin every aspect of Greenway Views.

“Helping our first residents move in today is the culmination of a huge effort over two years by so many people to make our vision a reality.”

Notices issued in construction site blitz WorkSafe ACT has issued over 70 notices on residential building sites, in a blitz that follows the death of a worker on a construction site in Denman Prospect in January.

ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones said the level of compliance with safety laws was “poor”, with the notices issued across 28 sites: “of the 70 notices issued, a total of 19 Prohibition Notices had been issued where there was an imminent safety risk to workers. In these cases, all work ceased immediately until the safety breaches were satisfactorily rectified”.

Major site issues included: no protection to prevent falls from heights; incomplete or incorrectly modified scaffolding; electrical safety issues; poor site management with slip, trip and fall hazards; and inadequate site security.

“There seemed to be a general disregard for worker safety with basic protection systems not in place and little planning to ensure work was undertaken in a safe manner,” Mr Jones said.

“WorkSafe inspections in this area will continue and inspectors will not hesitate to issue more notices, including closing sites that do not meet basic safety requirements.

The investigation into the worker’s death in January is ongoing.

The family entertainer Torrens 6 Cain Place In a quiet street, in the soughtafter suburb of Torrens, sits this home that’s perfect for peaceful family life.

“It’s in a small, quiet cul-de-sac where homes rarely come onto the market,” says Cream Residential agency principal, Chris Wilson, “[ideal for] a family looking for a ‘family friendly’ location.

“It is not too far from good schools, local shops, playing fields or walking trails that lead onto Mt. Taylor.”

With an easy floorplan for flexible family living, this home

boasts four large bedrooms – the master with ensuite and corner spa – all with built-in robes. The property includes a multitude of space for the whole family, including plenty of room for entertaining in both the warmer and cooler months. Inside, keep comfortable all year-round with ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating.

Outside, the entertaining deck is perfect for everyone, with mature plantings for privacy around the perimeter of the yard, and a built-in spa that’s sure to be

a hit with the kids.

In the garden, you’ll find four water tanks under the house and deck for maintaining the yard, as well as a single garage and single carport to protect your vehicles from the elements.

“The home offers a formal lounge, dining and family room,” Wilson says of the home’s myriad entertaining spaces. “The living areas open onto the private outdoor rear deck which is ideal for entertaining in the warmer months.”

The suburb of Torrens is perfect for families looking for space and

privacy, and 6 Cain Place can offer that and more, while being close to all the amenities that make this suburb special.

Kingsland grand opening A new townhouse development in Casey is set to be released to the public with a grand display suite opening event.

Developed by Elevated Living, ‘Kingsland’ will comprise 105 low-rise townhouses, available in six plan types, with different sizes and layouts to suit a range of buyers.

The development has been designed with a “striking, modern façade” and “functional and spacious interiors”.

Located opposite Casey Market Town, Kingsland residents will have access to supermarkets, cafes and shops just metres from their door, in an established community close to

schools, parks and sporting fields.

The materials and the site plan of the development have also been considered, with the design to “minimise the need for upkeep, reduce body corporate fees and maximise open spaces and green links throughout”.

Completion of the development is expected at the end of 2020.

The Kingsland display suite grand opening will be held on Saturday 15 February 10am-3pm, with agents on site, pony rides, coffee, sausage sizzle and Goodberry’s. For more information, visit kingslandcasey.com.au Kingsland in Casey will be released to the public with a grand opening event on Saturday 15 February.

Commercial sector looking strong: MBA Commercial buildings approvals finished strongly in 2019, with the value of commercial building work jumping nationally by 30.9% in December, according to Master Builders Australia (MBA) chief economist, Shane Garrett.

“The strong result for December means that the volume of commercial building work on the ground is set to remain elevated over the coming months,” Mr Garrett said on Monday 3 February.

He said the figures also indicate new dwelling

approvals “eased slightly during December”, and that the “pipeline of new home building work is still quite a bit lower than it was a year ago”.

“Leading indicators suggest that a home building recovery is not too far off, however. Lending to housing investors is expanding again and the First Home Buyer part of the market has a lot of wind behind its sails. House prices are also gathering momentum across most major cities.”

property of the week

An exclusive estate Red Hill 91 Mugga Way Set on Canberra’s ‘Golden Mile’, the exclusive Mugga Way, this family home exudes opulence and elegance, all while being the perfect modern entertainer.

“The home is located on prestigious Mugga Way and moments from Red Hill Nature Reserve,” says Ray White Canberra sales agent, Nicky Symon, “ideal for a family with school age children”.

Symon says the home possesses unique architectural design; a standout feature of this grand residence is the suspended glass hallway, which takes you over the lap pool and connects the front of the house to the rear.

The formal living and dining spaces, separated by a fireplace, are perfect for entertaining on winter evenings, while the open plan kitchen, meals and family space is ideal for everyday family life. The master bedroom is segregated from

the remaining bedrooms, complete with an ensuite and walk-in robe.

Symon says the extension to the rear, and subsequent renovation, is “high quality”, with a gourmet kitchen with island bench, walk-in pantry and integrated dishwasher and microwave, separate laundry and the jewel in the crown: a climate-controlled wine cellar.

The fourth bedroom, at the front of the home, also boasts an ensuite, and bedrooms two, three and four all feature built-in robes.

The five-star features just keep coming, with two ducted reversecycle split system air conditioning, powder room, study or fifth bedroom with robe, security system, two hot water systems and solar panels.

Outside, the luxury continues with the covered outdoor entertaining area, private front courtyard, heated lap pool with water feature, water tank and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Symon says the location cannot be beaten, with the home in a “sought after location moments from Manuka, the Parliamentary Triangle and a choice of excellent public and private schools”.

pick of the week

The Silence Of The Lambs X-Men: First Class Friday, 9GEM, 8.30pm, MA15+ (1991)

Jodie Foster is superb as rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling, who enlists the help of jailed psychiatrist, sociopath and mass murderer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins, pictured) to locate a missing woman and save her from a twisted killer. The winner of five Oscars, including Best Picture, director Jonathan Demme’s disturbing serial killer thriller remains the benchmark of the genre.

Friday

Thursday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2011)

This prequel to the X-Men films takes us back to 1944 when a young Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender, pictured) – better known as Magneto – sees his mother killed by a Nazi scientist (Kevin Bacon). Fast forward to 1962, and Erik, in his search for revenge, crosses paths with Charles Xavier (James McAvoy).

Great performances and a fun retro ’60s tone makes this arguably the best X-Men flick.

February 7

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Sunday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2015)

Three decades after the Empire’s defeat, a new threat arises in the militant First Order. Stormtrooper defector Finn (John Boyega) and spare parts scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley, pictured) are caught up in the Resistance’s search for the missing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

celebrity birthday TOM HIDDLESTON 9 February 1981 Jupiter is working through the secretive part of Tom’s chart, the sign of Capricorn.

He may be feeling quietly confident and secretly want to be centre stage, but this isn’t the best time to do so. However, it is a good time to push ahead with anything creative because it should benefit him considerably and will make a big impression.

He needs to be confident and start charming all the influential people around him.

in the stars ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Whatever’s going on behind the scenes, now’s the time to resolve any family tensions. You want bliss, beauty and harmony among your loved ones and this is a tall order; however, you can begin to uncover certain information that will give you the clarity you need to resolve issues.

With a strong focus this month on broadening your horizons, you might also find that other people are cranky and eccentric and almost impossible to pin down. The best thing you can do is to be as resourceful and independent as you can be.

There’s a strong possibility of meeting a fresh circle of colleagues or friends whilst going about your everyday business or visiting a club after work with co-workers. It’s certainly a time when contacts will make all the difference between success and failure, so don’t be overly independent.

You could be taking short trips, perhaps to sort out misunderstandings between close relatives. However, when dealing with them, you need to be crystal clear and use as much tact and diplomacy as possible. If you don’t, I’m afraid they won’t listen to a darn word you are saying.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

Your family, children and loved ones really need to know that you are there for them; words are meaningless unless you can put your heart into them. So, be careful of placing too much emphasis on your work or image at the expense of your relationships.

Your financial and business opportunities are under favourable stars owing to Venus being in Pisces.

It is a good time to put on your best clothes and get out into all the action that seems to be around; you just never know who you are going to bump into.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

Recent tensions in your personal life can easily be swept to one side – all it needs is a kind gesture or word to make sure you are not found lacking. If you are single, this is the time to mingle as others are likely to discover your charms.

Listen to the point of view of others and then they will do the courtesy of listening to you, too. This is the ideal time either to find new business premises, to renovate your home, to shift property or to buy, sell or invest into real estate.

It is a good time for handling legal matters or making adjustments to your future plans. Should you have another water sign in your life or a special someone, it’s likely to be an extremely passionate and exciting time as there’s an unmistakable attraction here.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY There’s a great deal to look forward to during the next few weeks. There are likely to be new goals for you to consider, fresh faces, new contacts and inspiring friendships. This is a highly sociable period so be certain to keep your little black book handy.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

Recent events may have impacted upon your long-term relationships.

Deep in the recesses of your heart and soul, you must know it’s up to you to stop things from getting even worse, so be sure to make a point of making yourself understood, clearly, directly and precisely.

CWM0109

On the career front, your energy is up and rising. It is time to impress the bosses and those in authority and focus on pulling yourself up the ladder of success by your bootstraps. However, be certain not to tread on too many toes as your ambitions rise.

My favourite things MY HARMONIUM I first encountered this instrument on top of a bus in Rajasthan, India in 1989, and as soon as I could, I bought one.

These reed organs are derived from medieval Portuguese organs that were taken to India hundreds of years ago and re-engineered to be able to play both Eastern and Western music.

MY HURDY-GURDY It sounds like the Swedish chef, but this instrument is so much fun to play; it is part keyboard part violin and part proto electric guitar and is almost a thousand years old (well not my one!). It takes a lot of force to play so it has a strap that is almost like a seat belt.

MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS

Photo Kerrie Brewer

Even though we can do it all with computers now, pencil and manuscript is still arguably the best way to compose. When I see blank manuscript I see a world of possibilities. Writing music is possibly the most mysterious and wonderful process I have ever entered into.

Kim Cunio

Associate Professor and Head of the School of Music, ANU

My name is Kim Cunio and I have the joy to be the custodian of our beloved ANU School of Music, a place that has had more than its fair share of strife, that happily is finding its feet again and becoming a home for music making and training our next generation of musicians, as it should be. I am completely music obsessed, so a lot of my favourite things have something to do with music, though I am also quite obsessed with India, where I spend a lot of time. Although I compose when I am free, the other things that have meaning to me are those which really support my life – my practice of meditation and yoga, my love of cooking (and eating!), and my love of the outdoors.

MY GREAT GRANDFATHER’S HAGGADAH A prayer book telling the story of the Jewish Passover.

Dad’s grandfather Hacham Eliyahu Ben Yitzhak was a Kabbala master and Rabbi who moved from Baghdad to China, where Dad was born. I never knew him, but he made my father the most gentle and spiritually minded man I ever met.

WILLIAM BUCK’S REIMAGINING OF THE MAHABHARATA Buck wrote a marvellously poetic and beautiful version of this master epic and died soon after.

It is easy to read and gives such an insight into the cultural depth that is in India.
