This week...

What a difference a week makes. From record high February temperatures one sweltering, tinder dry (the adjective, not the dating app) weekend to the welcome relief of remarkably cooler, rainy weather the next, it’s been a rollercoaster of a summer.

Speaking as a former farmer’s daughter, there’s nothing quite like the patter of rain on the roof, especially after a long, hot, dry spell (this year infamously punctuated by a destructive hailstorm) – and that delicious, earthy aroma of petrichor as raindrops quench the parched earth. Bliss!

Thankfully, local authorities have put in place measures to reduce runoff of bushfire ash and sediment into the ACT water supply catchments. Read the story on page 12.

Meanwhile, our hearts go out to neighbouring communities on the NSW South Coast who have lurched from devastating bushfires to disastrous floods.

As the Chaser team quipped earlier this week: “Celebration as natural disaster averted by slightly less horrific natural disaster”.

I’m confident that as soon as it’s safe to do so, many Canberrans will head for the coast to provide a much-needed economic boost to the region, as well as a welcome seaside break for us land-locked Territorians.

Reasons to be grateful this week include the heroic efforts of firefighters, emergency responders and their support crews, and soul-stirring concerts by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Australian String Quartet.

news Changes made to public transport network The ACT Government has made changes to the bus network after months of pressure from the public and the Opposition.

Changes to the network in April will include: more frequent Saturday services, more frequent services from Woden to the City, direct services from Tuggeranong to Woden via Canberra Hospital, direct services from Palmerston, Crace, Nicholls and Casey to Belconnen, more routes and direct services to Gungahlin, and faster travel time between the City and central Tuggeranong.

A new route connecting Woden and the City via Barton and Russell has also been added, while route 18 through Mitchell has been extended to Dickson. The R6 route has been removed from City West, in preparation for the construction of Light Rail stage 2A from the City to Commonwealth Park.

“During the first six months of (Network 19) operations we’ve been listening to the community and analysing the transport data,” said Transport Minister Chris Steel.

“These changes will improve travel times and connections with major Town Centres and places of interest and address some of key issues raised by the community since the introduction of Network 19.”

The bus network faced strong backlash when it

was first introduced, with members of the public expressing concern over the loss of dedicated school, local and express services, and the need to walk further to bus stops.

The Canberra Liberals, who have strongly opposed bus Network 19 since its inception, welcomed the changes, but Shadow Transport Minister Candice Burch said several issues persist.

“Questions remain about driver availability and reliability for weekend shifts,” she said. “The Minister is yet to confirm whether dedicated school bus services will return.”

The Opposition has promised to reinstate dedicated school services if elected in October.

A new weekend bus timetable was released last year, after a number of weekend services were cancelled due to a shortage of drivers.

The Public Transport Association of Canberra (PTCBR) said the changes address a number of concerns, and welcomed the improvements to Saturday services, but called on the Government to ensure full weekend bus services are restored “as soon as possible”.

PTCBR Chair Ryan Hemsley said public transport services would need to be “seriously” ramped up to meet the Government’s long-term plan of a 40-45% shift away from private car use by 2045.

The ACT Government has increased the frequency of light rail services due to higher than expected levels of patronage. File image.

The Government has also announced an increase to the frequency of light rail services due to higher than expected levels of patronage.

Minister Steel said more than 15,000 boardings are being made every day, with crowding on both morning and afternoon services. Peak services, one every six minutes, have now been extended to: 7-9.30am southbound, 3-6.30pm northbound and 3.30-6pm southbound.

Further changes, expected to begin in April, will see the frequency of light rail services increase to five minutes during peak, the afternoon peak extended and earlier services on weekends and holidays from 7am.

Changes to the bus network will begin on Tuesday 28 April. For more information, visit transport.act.gov.au

Electricity prices predicted to fall A reduction in electricity prices could be on the horizon for ACT homeowners, attributed in part to the growth in renewable energy generation.

According to the ACT Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission’s (ICRC) draft report on retail electricity for small customers released on 4 February, a typical customer on ActewAGL’s standing offer contracts could expect a 6.75% reduction in average retail electricity prices in 2020-21.

“For the average residential household consuming about 6,500 kWh per year, the expected price decrease would translate to a reduction of $113 in their annual bill,” Senior Commissioner Joe Dimasi said.

After a decade of steep increases in electricity prices, ACT Council of Social Service (ACTCOSS) CEO, Dr Emma Campbell said the estimated reduction in electricity prices is welcome news for all, particularly “low-income households who typically spend a greater proportion of their income on electricity than other households”.

“This proportion has increased in recent years as electricity prices have risen significantly, 8

contributing to an increase in poverty and inequality. On average, low-income households spend 6.4% of their income on energy, while highincome households spend an average of 1.5%. This is despite the fact that low-income households appear to use less energy and may under-consume energy when faced with the choice of either heating their house or feeding their family.”

Dr Campbell said the ICRC’s report follows other positive signs that ACT consumers will get some relief.

“The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures show that electricity prices in Canberra fell 3.5% in the past 12 months. Late last year the national expert energy policy adviser, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), estimated that electricity bills will fall by 7% in the ACT over the next three years due in part to increases in renewable energy generation.”

In making the draft decision, the Commission has used the same level of network costs as in 2019-20, pending the Australian Energy Regulator’s (AER) decision on 2020-21 network costs to be released in May. Network costs are an important

component of the pricing model and account for more than 40% of total costs. These costs are not expected to change substantially.

The Commission also made two draft recommendations to improve the comparability and transparency of electricity offers, which have been welcomed by ACTCOSS. “Given that most people find comparing electricity offers difficult and confusing, ACTCOSS strongly supports the ICRC’s recommendations to improve the transparency and comparability of offers through a reference bill amount, and requiring retailers to regularly notify their customers whether they are on the best offer, and notifying customers that they can visit the Energy Made Easy website to check whether better offers are available from other retailers,” Dr Campbell said.

The expected price reduction is indicative at this stage. The Commission’s draft decision, which has been made based on information up to 29 January 2020, will be updated in its final report using the most recent data available at end of May. - Allison Turnbull

capital hill Here we go again – forget the planet The new chancellor of the Australian National University (ANU), Julie Bishop is proud of the fact the world leading academic institution has 300 climate scientists. The former foreign minister is also proud that during her time as our lead climate negotiator at United Nations conferences, Australia played a leading role.

She told Radio National on the eve of her formally taking on her new role this week, that at the Paris Climate Talks in 2016, Australia was one of the few nations to actually put out its firm targets. Those targets are to reduce emissions by 26% to 28% from 2005 levels by 2030 and then to review our efforts to achieve the ultimate goal of net zero emissions globally by 2050.

You may remember that Malcolm

Turnbull was prime minister at the time and, though he may have wanted to be more ambitious, he wasn’t game enough to do more than his predecessor Tony Abbott had set out the year before.

Analysis by leading scientists like the ANU’s Professor Mark Howden long ago concluded that Australia’s commitments along with those of the other 195 nations who signed up in various ways would not reach the 2050 goal with dire consequences for the planet. So if we are world leading, something Scott Morrison boasted at the UN General Assembly last year, then we are all in big trouble.

But someone forgot to tell that to a rebel group in the National Party who have threatened to blow up the government if the Prime Minister and their own

leader Michael McCormack dares to be more ambitious on emission reductions. Barnaby Joyce and Senator Matt Canavan, who quit as resources minister to back Joyce in the leadership spill, are demanding more coal-fired power stations and taxpayers to foot the bill if private investors aren’t foolish enough to do so. The market sees such ventures as a huge stranded asset risk.

On the weekend Joyce welcomed the Morrison Government’s commitment of four million taxpayer dollars for a feasibility study for a coal-fired power station in North Queensland. He said if we don’t do it, we should tell India and China they are “all stupid” for planning more fossil-fuelled power stations and let them buy their coal elsewhere.

astrophysicist Stephen Hawking who died in 2018, sees “runaway climate change” as a more immediate threat to our existence as a species, than nuclear war or an asteroid collision. In his last book, he said “a rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice caps and cause the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide. Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus, but with a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius”. Human life would be unsustainable.

Hawking said we must go beyond agreed international protocols “and cut carbon emissions now”. We have the technology – renewables and battery storage. He said “we just need the political will”.

news Icon Water monitoring water quality Heavy rainfall has prompted concern about the potential impact on water quality for the ACT following recent bushfires in the region.

Icon Water implemented measures to reduce the runoff of ash and sediment into the Corin Dam ahead of the rain and acknowledged that “depending on the damage to vegetation caused by the fire as well as the amount of rainfall, there can be varying impacts to water quality”.

“Our team will have access to Corin Dam today (11 February) to assess impacts in and around the raw water supply catchments and determine if additional mitigation actions are required,” an Icon Water spokesperson said. “Icon Water will continue to monitor the impacts of the fires on the catchments and water quality. We will continue to select the best quality water available and if required, use the technology at

the Mt Stromlo and Googong water treatment plants to process the turbidity caused by ash or sediment in the water supply.”

Following the 2003 bushfires, Icon Water further upgraded their water treatment plants to ensure they could remove ash or sediment erosion if this were to enter the water supply following another bushfire.

“As well as the upgrade to our treatment plants, there were further measures put in place during the Cotter Dam enlargement to protect the water supplied from this catchment,” the spokesperson said.

As at 11 February, the rain has resulted in only a small increase in storage levels so far.

“It will take sustained rainfall over an extended period or a return to average rainfall conditions to significantly increase Canberra’s water storage,” the spokesperson said.

According to data from the Bureau of Meteorology, on Monday 10 February the highest rainfall in the ACT was recorded at Mount Ginini with 76.4mm. Canberra Airport recorded 60.4mm with 52.0mm in Tuggeranong.

The wet weather prompted numerous calls to the ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) for assistance. As at 5pm on 10 February, ACTSES was working to respond to more than 440 rain damage incidents around Canberra.

The rain also provided welcome relief for those battling the Orroral Valley Fire. In an update at 9am on 11 February, the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) said the fire is now contained, meaning the whole perimeter is behind identifiable control lines.

While they acknowledged the recent rainfall “will not extinguish the

fire”, the “milder temperatures and continued rain will greatly assist the fire suppression efforts”.

As a result of the favourable weather, the State of Alert that was in place for rural and remote parts of the ACT was lifted on Sunday 9 February.

It was first declared on 2 January to allow the ESA to further prepare in case of an emergency.

ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentleman said there is “a growing list of lessons learned and the lower risk means we can start to take stock of the damage”. It is estimated the fire has burnt through about 80% of Namadgi National Park.

“Rapid response teams are being deployed and will report back to Government a clearer picture of the damage to ecology, heritage and parks assets like paths and signs.”

UCX director Sarah Jennett says the university’s new eSports lounge has been designed to take a popular pastime and create a social experience amongst students. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

UC declares ‘game on’ It wasn’t too long ago that gaming was considered an isolating experience pursued in one’s own bedroom.

But the advent, development and proliferation of online gaming has made the once maligned form of entertainment practically as

social as summer touch footy.

For the past six months, the team at UCX, the University of Canberra’s student union, have been hard at work looking to bring a popular pastime amongst the student cohort onto campus.

All 24 of the dedicated gaming

computers, their tabletop games and additional consoles were fully occupied on Thursday 6 February, as UCX officially opened their new eSports lounge.

Available to both students and members of the public, the space has been designed to create a communal experience, according to director of UCX, Sarah Jennett.

“We work in student experience, we’re always looking for ways we can improve their on-campus experience so that their educational journey with us is more than just lectures and tutorials.

“Lots of our students are gaming anyway, but maybe in their dorm room or house … So they can come and game either as a team if they want to do it with their mates, or individually, but they’re here amongst other people, socialising.

“It allows students to get to know other people on campus, which can be hard for some

people who come from interstate or overseas.”

Ms Jennett says the lounge was developed off the back of a trip she made to the USA in 2019 to visit a number of universities, looking at what they were doing to engage students.

“One of the things that came up that had already been on my radar was some of the lounges they had operating over there.”

Ms Jennett says their eSports lounge is the only one of its kind currently operating in Canberra.

“The space is designed as such that we’ll be able to run tournaments from here and participate in intervarsity events.

“Other universities have invested in facilities like this, but they are on a small scale. I suspect it’s really just on the cusp of being about to explode.”

news Worksite blitz to continue

Hail damage rebates

WorkSafe ACT is continuing the crackdown on residential construction sites, following the second death of a worker on a site last week (4 February).

“Most of the companies in the Territory are doing the right thing, but even a small oversight or risk ignored can lead to severe injury or death on a worksite,” said ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones.

“We will be using all of the powers we have to enforce the work health and safety standards that Canberrans rightly expect in high risk workplaces like construction sites.

“If that means we need to issue fines, infringements or shut down worksites, then that’s what will be done.”

WorkSafe ACT recently issued more than 70 notices for safety breaches, which included 19

The ACT Government is offering rebates for fees and charges for vehicles damaged in the hail storm on Monday 20 January.

A number of fees will be reduced or waived for people who have been forced to replace vehicles due to hail damage.

These fees include: a stamp duty rebate of up to $100 for vehicles with a value of $10,000 or less, no extra registration fees for a replacement vehicle, refunds for registration

Prohibition Notices where sites were closed down due to an immediate safety risk.

WorkSafe are continuing to investigate the deaths of two men: a 47-year-old man on a site in Denman Prospect in January, and a 60-yearold man last week, on another site in Denman Prospect.

Workplace Safety Minister Suzanne Orr said the death of the 60-year-old man was “seriously concerning” as it followed public safety messaging and enforcement activity in the sector.

“The Government will closely monitor the outcomes of WorkSafe ACT’s investigations into these incidents and we will continue to support compliance activity across the construction industry, to ensure the work health and safety obligations of everyone on worksites are being met,” she said.

cancellation fees and vehicle establishment fees, rebate on vehicle road worthy inspection fee and rebate on basic identity inspection.

The Government said around 30,000 vehicles were significantly damaged during the storm, many of which need to be replaced.

The measures are available for vehicles privately registered in the ACT until 30 June 2020.

news High school for Molonglo A new high school will be built in the Molonglo Valley, ready for the beginning of the 2023 school year.

The ACT Government has committed $23 million for the project, which will cater for 600 students in years 7-10. The high

school will be integrated with the primary school on the same site, for which construction has begun and students are expected in 2021. The local community will have an opportunity to provide input into the name, uniform and logo for the ‘super school’.

Greater protection for Ngunnawal sites The ACT Government has implemented protection measures

Namadgi National Park.

The ACT Government worked

to ensure Ngunnawal sites and artefacts are conserved during an emergency.

Safeguards include added protection zones around rock art sites, the removal of the timber board walk at the Yankee Hat rock art site, mineral earth lines to protect Ngunnawal scarred trees from fire, and ‘no water bombing zones’ to protect stone arrangements and burial sites in

with members of the Ngunnawal community to enhance protections while bushfires burned in the region this summer.

proud of the firefighting efforts to keep the fire away from the village. Strong containment lines, boots on the ground and aircraft operations were at the centre of this great achievement,” he said.

Mr Gentleman said attention has now turned to “major postfire recovery efforts”, with work beginning on identifying the damage done to species, habitat, water quality and vegetation loss.

Vietnamese longan conquers Australia

S

ince the Australian Department of Agriculture handed over to Vietnam the permit to ship Vietnamese longan to Australia on 29 August 2019, this exotic product has been gradually increasing its popularity and securing a firm foothold in the ‘Land Down Under’.

After litchi (lychee), mango and dragon fruit, longan is now the fourth Vietnamese fruit variety to be imported into Australia, one of the world’s most demanding markets.

Thanks to the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement and, most recently, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the majority of Vietnamese goods exported to Australia enjoy zero tariffs and many other advantages.

As longan fruit can be produced year-round, it has become one of the main fruit-bearing crops in many parts of Vietnam, stretching from northern provinces such as Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Bac Giang, Lao Cai and Son La to the Mekong Delta production areas of Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Dong Thap,

Vinh Long and Can Tho. Fresh longan fruit in Vietnam is typically based on small orchard production. The peak production season is from June to August, with some newer cultivars harvested up to early September. In 2019, Vietnam produced over 700,000 tonnes of fresh longan fruit. Domestic consumption accounts for nearly 50% of the output, albeit this number is on the rise, mainly in urban areas.

Vietnam currently exports longan fruit to many countries, including key markets, namely China, the United States of America, Canada, the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia and some parts of Europe. The fruit variety has the most consistent volume distribution out of all items exported by Vietnam. These figures have shown that Vietnamese fresh longan is strong enough to compete with other countries’, though they still need promotions abroad.

Last September, only a few days after an import permit for Vietnamese fresh longan fruit was granted by the Australian Department of

Fresh longan fruit production in Vietnam is typically grown in small orchards.

Fresh longan fruit from Vietnam is growing in popularity since imports to Australia began six months ago.

Agriculture, the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia, in collaboration with Vietnam Trade Office in Sydney, Vietnam Business Association in Australia (VBAA) and GreenPath Company, organised a ‘Vietnamese Longan Day’ ceremony in Melbourne to mark the debut of fresh longan in the Australian market. And now, fresh longan of Vietnam is being sold in nearly 40 supermarkets and stores in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and a supermarket chain in Adelaide.

According to the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia, the Vietnamese Government expresses strong determination to help its provinces raise output and boost exports of their agricultural products, including fresh longan, to foreign markets. In this connection, promotion campaigns, such as “Vietnamese Longan Festival” and “Vietnamese Longan Day” to nudge this exotic product closer to Australian consumers, will continue to be organised by the Embassy of Vietnam in Australia, in partnership with the VBAA and other Australian importers, in some parts of the country in 2020, with a focus on connecting Vietnamese producers to chain distributors and wholesale businesses in Australia.

Called ‘dragon’s eye’ in Vietnamese, fresh longan has become more and more popular now. The fruit has hit the shelves at supermarkets in over 60 countries and territories worldwide. Envisioning the future,

Mr. Ngo Huong Nam, Ambassador of Vietnam to Australia, expressed his strong belief that “the Strategic Partnership agreement between Vietnam and Australia has opened up new investment and trade partnership opportunities for both sides. And, with a population of 25 million people, Australia is viewed as a potential market for the export of Vietnam’s farm produce, including longan.”

“The Vietnamese agricultural sector has the potential to earn millions of dollars from exports of fresh longan fruit alone to Australia in the near future,” the Ambassador said.

From a business perspective, Tran Ba Phuc, President of VBAA said “consumption of Vietnamese fresh longan fruit has started taking off in Australia”.

“Initially, they were mainly consumed by the Asian population, but today, almost all ethnicities in Australia buy this exotic product from Vietnam. Retailers like GreenPath Australia, Sao Anh Duong, etc., are promoting this item.

This tells me they are becoming more mainstream,” he said.

Fruit varieties are essential to everyday life in Vietnam of which fresh longan is a favourite snack.

Snack happy, be adventurous and dive into the wonderful world of Vietnam’s fruits with this exotic product.

For great legs, step into The Vein Institute

HEALTHY ARE ONE AWAY

Get the lovely legs of your dreams at the Vein Insitute.

Under the care of experienced doctors who use the latest, state-of-the-art technology, your varicose veins can be treated without surgery and with minimal downtime.

V

aricose veins can be unsightly and painful.

If left untreated they can cause significant health issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots, and it is an issue which affects both women and men of varying ages.

“Varicose veins are sporadic,” explains the Vein Institute’s Medical Director, Dr Zil Yassine. “We treat everyone from young people with a family history of large veins, to women who have been pregnant, to tradies who are on their feet all day. There’s no real kind of ‘group’; you’ll have siblings in a family and

two or three have large varicose veins and the others don’t.”

The Vein Institute are changing the game when it comes to the treatment of these veins, using the latest, state-of-the-art technology to perform a minimally invasive procedure. Where previously varicose veins have been treated with surgical stripping, a procedure that can often be painful and requires long recovery, the Vein Institute is embracing technology that allows patients to walk-in and walk-out – no general anaesthetic or hospital stay required. The team’s philosophy is to offer

minimally invasive options for their patients, minimising downtime and disruption.

Dr Yassine explains that “there’s been a massive paradigm shift from treatment in hospital, with surgical stripping, which can be quite aggressive and brutal with a long recovery period of up to a month”.

“The newer treatments, in particular laser ablation, usually take anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour; you’ll be awake during the treatment, there’ll be minimal pain because it’s done under local anaesthetic, and you’ll be able to walk out of the clinic and have

essentially the same result as surgical stripping, except it’s safer.

“Patients come to us because they don’t want to go under general anaesthetic and have a hospital-based procedure,” Dr Yassine says.

“The other thing is the postoperative period, the after-care, is quite easy relative to surgery. The compression stockings have to be worn for five days, and that’s only during the day, so that’s quite easily achievable for most people.

“Post-surgical stripping, you’re often at hospital and you’d have to wear some pretty serious

compression garments, up to the hips usually. The compression is much more intense and your legs can become quite bruised.”

The Vein Institute have clinics in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and Dr Yassine and the team travel to Canberra once a month to treat patients at their Barton clinic.

“I’ve been treating veins fulltime for five years,” Dr Yassine says. “I’ve completed the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic exams in the US, in addition to training here in Australia at the Hunter Vein Clinic.”

The Vein Institute team have designed their patient care model to be similar to that currently seen across Europe, with a nurturing team to provide patients the highest quality care.

“The doctor from start to end manages your care. They do the assessment, the scanning, the treatment, and also the follow-up,” Dr Yassine says.

“We’ve found that this tends to give a better outcome, rather than splitting the scanning up to the sonographer then the treatment up to the surgeon, and then follow-up to somebody else. It does take a bit

longer, but we think it’s better in one set of hands.

“We have clinics in multiple states, so we’ve used the same model for a number of years and it is an extremely safe model.”

Experts in their field, the Vein Institute’s medical team treat veins in a number of ways, including endovenous laser ablation, which uses radiofrequency or laser energy to close veins in the legs.

Dr Yassine says “after applying a local anaesthetic, we insert a very fine laser tip into the damaged vein. We ‘scar’ the vein from the inside out and that results in the

permanent removal of that vein; because it’s scarred, the body eventually reabsorbs it”.

“Basically, because we’re sealing the vein at a high temperature, and we can see the heating element cinching the vein, we are able to guarantee a closure rate of 98%.”

He says patients often recognise that while you may not be able to ‘cure’ varicose veins, at least the veins they had can no longer be seen.

“We receive extremely good feedback – our patients tell us they feel more confident and that their legs look healthy again.”

Aussie Tradesmen: Who would have thought finding a tradie could be this easy?

The skilful team at Aussie Tradesmen offer a one-stop shop for an array of tasks, from property and garden maintenance to landscaping, home renovations and project management.

“We have a team of carpenters, painters and concreters. We even have a plumber, electrician, plasterer, brickie and landscaper. There are very few jobs the team can’t do. We also project manage those larger jobs like kitchen and bathroom renovations,” says Kevin Barnes of Aussie Tradesmen.

Since starting operations last August, Aussie Tradesmen are building and expanding rapidly.

They currently have 12 trades people, bringing in contractors as needed, and service the ACT and nearby NSW areas including Bungendore, Queanbeyan and Yass.

The idea of “helping people and making sure we do the best we can” is key to the success of Aussie Tradesmen and highlighted by Kevin’s recent visit to a potential client.

“I was at a lady’s house for a quote when a storm hit and the inside of one of her rooms was flooding. I went to investigate and saw that her gutters were full of leaves and overflowing.”

Kevin cleared out the gutters, stopping the water entering the house. He didn’t charge the customer; he “just wanted to make sure she was safe”. The woman later booked jobs with Aussie Tradesmen.

“The variety of work that we are capable of carrying out is quite diverse,” Kevin says. “It is rare that we can’t do something, but if there is

Lahmacun: thin crust pide with spicy lamb topping Image and text from Anatolia by Somer Sivriolgu and David Dale, photography by Bree Hutchins. Murdoch Books RRP $49.99.

Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature (as close to 300°C as possible). If you have a pizza stone or tile, place it in the oven, or leave your baking tray in the oven so it will preheat.

Serves: 4 200g (3 cups) plain flour, plus extra for dusting 1 tsp salt 70g (½ cup) wholemeal flour (if using a baking tray) Topping 2 tomatoes 1 red capsicum 75g capsicum paste 5 garlic cloves

Around the world

Canberra’s Multicultural Festival is due to kick off soon, so our food writer Libby Kimber has sourced some recipe inspiration from around the world to celebrate.

½ bunch flat-leaf (Italian) parsley 2 tsp chilli flakes 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp salt 200g minced lamb (about 25% fat) Red onion and sumac salad ½ red onion, finely sliced 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp ground sumac 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Juice of ½ lemon, plus extra to serve

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the salt. Make a well in the middle and slowly pour in 125ml (½ cup) of lukewarm water. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Sprinkle some more flour on your work surface and then divide the dough into four balls. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave to rest.

To make the topping, score a shallow cross in the base of the tomatoes, then transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds, then plunge in cold water and peel the skin away from the cross. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the stalks and seeds with a teaspoon. Roughly chop. Remove the seeds from the capsicum and roughly chop the flesh. Coarsely blend the chopped tomato and capsicum with the capsicum paste, garlic, parsley, chilli flakes, pepper and salt. Combine the mixture with the lamb mince and stir thoroughly.

Place a ball of dough on the floured work surface and, with floured hands or a rolling pin, flatten into a round about 25cm wide and less than 5mm thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Using a tablespoon, thinly spread the lamb mixture onto the rounds. Then press it in with your hands.

If you are using a baking tray, take it out of the oven and put a piece of baking paper over it.

Dust the baking paper with a little wholemeal flour. Place the rounds of dough on the baking paper and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are crisp.

Meanwhile, if you are making the salad, finely slice the onion and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and sumac, add the olive oil and lemon juice, and then mix together with your hands.

Sprinkle the salad, if using, over each lahmacun, squeeze on some lemon juice, and serve.

ACT Minister for Multicultural Affairs Chris Steel said “we’re really looking forward to hosting such high-profile Australians at one of the biggest events on the Canberra calendar”.

“We want to keep building on the success of previous years with a festival that promotes equality, social inclusion, and sharing of cultural traditions that contribute to a community that respects and celebrates our diversity,” Mr Steel said.

Vanessa Amorosi will perform on the Friday evening while Adam Liaw will be doing a cooking demonstration on the Sunday.

This year, the festival will feature over 300 stallholders as well as six stages and the introduction of two platforms, one in Glebe Park and one in Bunda Street.

For more information about the Festival, go to www.multiculturalfestival.com.au or find your free pull-out guide in this edition of Canberra Weekly.

Glebe Park added to festival footprint Glebe Park is set to feature as a new location within the footprint of this year’s National Multicultural Festival (NMF) in a move to provide more family-friendly areas for patrons.

Senior Director of the NMF, Azra Khan, said the decision was based on feedback from previous events, with Glebe Park to host a range of activities for children, workshops, as well as roving performers and entertainment.

Ms Khan said Glebe Park is a “nice, green leafy space for anyone” and will cater for those people looking for a quieter area within the festival footprint.

A celebration of cultural diversity that attracts hundreds of thousands to Canberra for music, dance and food, this year’s NMF will be held from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 February.

“This festival is a tradition,” she said. “It is very much what makes Canberra a wonderful, welcoming city. The festival is something that

everyone looks forward to every year.”

According to Ms Khan, the continued success of the event can in part be attributed to the army of volunteers who give up their time each year to “contribute to this wonderful celebration of cultural diversity”.

“The size and scale of this event couldn’t be done without the level of support from volunteers,” she said. “We have well over 600 shifts [to fill] over the three days and we are appreciative of the response we’ve had.”

This year, the NMF received registrations from more than 300 people and they will be assigning a variety of roles to all who have registered.

Australian singer-songwriter and recording artist Vanessa Amorosi and former MasterChef winner Adam Liaw will headline the event.

Local artist LIV LI (Amber Nichols) will also feature across multiple days at the festival.

1

The Phoenix Collective 2020 concert series highlights a number of different genres; what prompted that decision?

One of the main drives of the ensemble is to bring different music to the concert hall stage, and to also reach new audiences. We almost want to popularise the classical music world to make it a bit of a younger audience, and not just the older generation who enjoy this music.

There’s something in this program for everyone.

2

What inspired you to found Phoenix Collective back in 2018?

Phoenix has a personal level of recreating

oneself, and to a certain extent everyone has some element of the phoenix in their life. For me, it’s about actually getting out there, putting your cards on the table and saying ‘this is great work of this genre’; there’s some amazing stuff out there.

3

You’ve played the violin since you were five. What drew you to that instrument?

My mum took me and my brother into a music shop to choose our instruments. I chose the sax and the violin, mum got the violin, and from that point I never wanted to give up. I’m a teacher, too, and it’s very common for kids to find it too difficult or lose interest and want to give up. I’ve never had a career outside of music.

4

What do you make of the Canberra music scene?

I’ve done about four years of playing with CSO (Canberra Symphony Orchestra). I moved to Canberra at the end of last year, have quite quickly settled down here with my family and been able to pick up a bit of work. I still do a bit of performing

in Sydney, but I don’t feel the need to continually hit the road. It’s a rewarding scene to be a part of.

5

What’s the difference between performing at a grand venue versus something more intimate?

There’s a lot of prestige that comes with playing in a big concert hall, and there’s a lot of excitement that comes with it. But when you perform to a smaller, intimate audience, you feel like you’re breathing the same air, and the music is closer and the communication is more immediate.

Shot locally in 1971 on a $300,000 budget, Demonstrator remains the only feature film financed solely by Canberrans, and will be screened later this month for the first time in decades. Image courtesy NFSA.

Local cinema relic dusted off Later this month, a little known, curious piece of Canberra’s cinematic history will be screened for the first time in decades.

Shot locally in 1971 on a $300,000 budget, Demonstrator remains the only feature film financed solely by Canberrans.

Its commercial success was limited to the Canberra market, and it received a lukewarm critical response from a number of national media outlets.

Despite this, Friends of the National Film and Sound Archive president, Ray Edmondson, says Demonstrator was thematically topical.

“The idea that we had to have workable political relations with nearby Asian countries was becoming clear, and it draws on that.

“It also draws on the idea of student demonstrations … I think half the ANU was used as extras.”

Edmonson says Demonstrator was an early attempt to revive the industry prior to the ‘New Wave’ that hit later in the decade, when films like Picnic at Hanging Rock and Mad Max took the world by storm.

“In the ‘60s there were no Australian feature films. The idea of it was still novel. That’s hard to imagine now because we have 20odd Australian features a year.”

Edmonson remembers seeing

the movie in a local theatre nearly 50 years ago. Having not seen it since, he’s very excited for the upcoming screening.

“I would have seen it at the Centre Cinema, and I thought it was a good film at the time. I haven’t re-viewed it, we’re just going to take it as it comes.”

Edmonson remembers it was a thrill to see Canberra on screen in a feature film; that was in part why the film appealed to him.

“In the one sense it’s a time capture of Canberra as it was in 1971, still a young capital, still the bush capital, but becoming the centre of things, it captures that time.”

While organising the screening, Edmonson says they experienced difficulty reaching anyone involved in the production to acquire permission.

“We came to the conclusion that just about everyone involved had departed; no one knows who owns the rights.

“Tony Buckley, the editor, is still with us. He has a very pragmatic view of the film, seeing it as an early feature that’s not as good as we could do later.”

The Friends of the NFSA will screen Demonstrator at the NFSA Theatrette, 21 February 6pm; free for Friends of the NFSA; gold coin donation for others.

time out Now showing The Lighthouse (M) In the late 19th Century, young contractor Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson) arrives by boat on an isolated island off the coast of New England, to serve under irritable old lighthouse keeper Thomas Wake (William Dafoe) for a month.

Director Robert Eggers’ directorial debut was the excellent The Witch; a slow-paced, period psychological horror, unapologetic in its pacing and authentic language. The unfolding of the story, and of the dread, was neatly and organically matched with its increasingly surreal aspects and metaphor: the consequences of turning your back on religion in an unholy and unforgiving frontier land.

on holiday by mistake… again.

Trapped in a lighthouse on an isolated island in a growing squall, our two male lighthouse workers are constrained in a near-perfect square ratio shot in beautiful squid-ink black and white. The claustrophobia is palpable, as is the rising tension between these two unlikely roommates: the young Winslow is restless and ambitious, the elderly Wake cagey and suspicious.

The movie rocks along with high-highs and low-lows with hard crashes of (are they?) Lovecraftian hallucinations as both men’s sanity is pushed to the limits. With all the intrigue as to what is actually happening on our island, it is easy to forget that the movie is a two-hander.

Verdict: Some knowledge of Greek mythology is required for the full effect of the movie’s punch.

A madcap dark-comedy horror.

Book talk Jeff Popple reviews three romantic novels for Valentine’s Day. More of Jeff’s reviews can be found on his blog: murdermayhemandlongdogs.com Jane In Love by Rachel Givney Michael Joseph, $32.99

This charming debut novel by Melbourne screenwriter Rachel Givney projects Jane Austen into the present day. When 28-year-old Jane enlists the help of a matchmaker to help find her ‘one true love’, she gets more than she bargains for and awakes on the present-day film set of Northanger Abbey. Bemused and befuddled by modern England, Jane is pleased to learn that she had become a world-famous author and is determined to return to her own time to fulfil her destiny. When love beckons, however, she must decide whether to go or to follow her heart. Witty, insightful and good fun.

Mix Tape by Jane Sanderson Bantam, $29.99

Mix Tape by Jane Sanderson is also about new chances. Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape. But that was a long time ago in Sheffield.

Ali is now in Adelaide with temperamental daughters of her own. But when Daniel makes contact and the pair start sharing a new mix tape across oceans and time zones, a fresh set of possibilities open up. New opportunities, however, come with emotional costs for all involved. This is a moving and well written story that details the consequences of re-finding love with compassion, honesty and good humour.

Charlotte Pass by Lee Christine Allen & Unwin, $29.99

Finally, those who like their romance mixed with crime will enjoy Charlotte Pass by popular Australian romantic suspense author Lee Christine.

Set in the eponymous snowfield resort, it opens with the discovery of old human bones. The police suspect that they are the remains of Celia Delaney who went missing from the resort in 1964. When an autopsy reveals that Celia was murdered and a related present day killing occurs, Detective Pierce Ryder and ski patroller Vanessa Bell must join forces to stop more murders. Well described locations, engaging central characters, a twisty plot and a dollop of romance make this an enjoyably light criminal read for Valentine’s Day.

Pillow talk: how to find your perfect match Pillows play an important role in helping you have a good night’s sleep. So what should you look for to help you wake up rested and refreshed?

According to Dunlopillo spokesperson and APA approved musculoskeletal physiotherapist, Richard Christianson, a key consideration is sleep position: Side sleepers need to fill the gap between their shoulder and midline so that their head doesn’t hang lower than the midline or is propped up too high above midline. The variables which will determine the profile of your pillow are: your frame width; and the comparative density of the mattress to the pillow.

Back sleepers, due to the smaller curvature of the cervical spine, there is only a small gap to fill so a lower profile pillow may be all you need.

Stomach sleepers, the main factor to be aware of is the extra degree of neck rotation it causes.

When you already have a sore neck, this position is usually an uncomfortable position to adopt.

Look for pillow shapes and designs that can help lessen the rotation angle of the neck.

What’s next? Snap a picture.

A simple self-assessment is to take a picture of you lying either on your back or side and see if the pillow fills the natural curvatures of your spine, allowing your head to rest in alignment with your chest and shoulders.

If your head is angled up, your pillow profile may be too big; if your head is angled down, your pillow profile may be too low.

If you like to sleep in various positions, a dual contour pillow may be a great option.

When it comes to finding the perfect pillow, bedding brand Dunlopillo suggests that allergy and asthma sufferers should look for pillows with anti-bacterial properties. Being machine washable is also helpful.

Think you’ve found you’re perfect match? Now it’s time to test.

When it comes to a healthy night’s sleep, the main subjective sign health professionals assess is do you have good sleep hygiene.

minutes of trying and to stay asleep for the first five hours.

One of the main features you should be looking for in a pillow is self-rated comfort. So, a clear sign that your pillow may not be right for you is persistent tossing and turning in the first 20-30 minutes of trying to go to sleep. Make sure you trial pillows as comfort is a personal preference, not a science.

There are lots of positives that come with school holidays but hand-in-hand with the holidays comes irregular sleep, which can impact children’s behaviours and abilities to operate well at school.

UniSA researcher and sleep expert, Dr Alex Agostini, says a good sleep routine is important for children’s emotional, physical and mental health, especially post the school holidays.

“A good night’s sleep is important for kids. Research shows that good sleep helps them regulate their emotions and concentrate. Sleep also helps to regulate the hormones that initiate hunger – which helps children eat at the right time and function better throughout the day.”

Dr Agostini says it’s best to

ease your child back into the school schedule by changing their bedtimes and sleep routines over a week or so before school so that their body can gradually adjust. Tips include: moving your child’s bedtime five or 10 minutes earlier each night, and waking them slightly earlier each day as this will help them feel tired enough to go to sleep on time.

“A good sleep routine helps the body learn when it’s time to go to sleep. For school-aged kids, this could include a warm bath or shower, followed by a book in bed, but it can be different for each child. Getting kids involved in designing their own pre-sleep wind-down routines will help them feel more in charge and should help improve adherence to the new night-time schedules.”

One to read: From What Is To What If

From What Is To What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want by Rob Hopkins, is by no means a gardening book, but with nature and a renewed call to imagine at its core, I simply had to share it.

This empowering book is about fi nding ways of tapping into our wholly supressed and long-forgotten imaginations, to instigate the connected and sustainable change both we and the beautiful landscape we live in so desperately need. Unsurprisingly, author Rob Hopkins writes about gardening and connecting to the natural world as being some of the most significant ways we can achieve this.

Rob witnessed the actuality of releasing the imagination and making the seemingly unattainable possible 10 years ago, when he and a few friends undertook an experiment known as Transition Town Totnes. The experiment focused on community-driven and not government-driven change and asking ‘what if’ questions; that is, they imagined the future they wanted to have.

This led to many innovations, such as the planting of fruit and nut trees in public spaces,

growing food crops at the local train station, connecting people with disused land with those wanting to grow food, crowdfunding a flour mill, and starting a community-owned craft brewery.

From What Is To What If takes readers through various ‘what if’ scenarios, giving innovative examples from around the globe.

Being a soul of nature myself, I was drawn to the chapter What If We Followed Nature’s Lead?, which discusses our inherent connection to everything natural; and that a diversity of nature and more time spent in nature equate to an enhanced ability for us to imagine and innovate.

Heartbreakingly, we are experiencing unprecedented losses of biodiversity due to civilisation, habitat loss and climate change.

This loss includes an astounding decline in food crop varieties.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious and to even switch off to such devastation but Rob stresses how critical it is that we imagine a ‘what if’ and ‘why not’ future, in order to instigate the changes and innovations needed for a more resilient and positive future.

A collector’s item Collector NSW 43 Bourke Street

This charming family home is nestled in the small NSW town of Collector, just a short drive from Canberra, between the Capital and Goulburn.

“The property is connected to both Goulburn and Canberra,” says LJ Hooker Dickson sales agent, Ryan Hedley. “Collector has a wonderfully connected and thriving local community. It is a place where everyone will fit in and feel comfortable.”

The home features four bedrooms, the master with walk-in robe and ensuite, and Hedley says this country abode is “instantly set up for large families”.

“However,” he says, “young

couples wanting to start their life together with a home that has sensational value for money and room to expand will not be disappointed either.”

43 Bourke Street has been built to be highly energy efficient, with solar passive orientation, 5kw solar system and solar hot water among its many features. Each room is fitted with a ceiling fan, while the living area is designed around the fireplace for wintertime; there’s also a brand new split-system unit for extra comfort.

“The property exudes space.

There are no sections where you feel cramped or trapped. The solar passive design is unique for the

area and with the solar is almost entirely self-sufficient,” Hedley says.

With four bedrooms, multiple living areas and a spacious kitchen with butler’s pantry and induction cooking, this home has something for everyone. The main bathroom is generous in size, and the home also boasts a spacious laundry and a large covered back veranda, perfect for entertaining or for family dinners. Outside, there’s plenty of space for kids and pets, as well as three 30,000L water tanks.

“It is rare to find a gorgeous modern property like this in a

more rural location,” Hedley says.

“You get the feel of modern home on the inside whilst being located on a large block in a country town and still connected to both Canberra and Goulburn.”

REIA awards finalists announced Finalists have been announced for the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) National Awards for Excellence, with a host of ACT industry achievers among them.

REIA President Adrian Kelley said the national awards this year had a total of 101 entrants, up from 86 last year, with an increase in female candidates.

“It’s also pleasing to note there has been an increase in female candidates in the different categories from previous years, in particular in the category of Residential Salesperson of the Year, which is always hotly contested,” he said.

The ACT will be represented at the awards in Darwin in April by the following finalists, in 16 of the 20 categories: Achievement Award: Ravi Soni, Laing+Simmons Commercial Property; Commercial Agency of the Year: Colliers International; Commercial Salesperson of the Year: Guy Randell, Burgess Rawson; Operational

Support Award: Natalie Mills, McGrath Dickson; Operational Leadership Award: Hannah Gill, Independent Property Management; Marketing and Communications Award: Independent; Innovation Award: Independent; Community Service Award: Independent; Business Development Manager of the Year: Lyn Fairweather, LJ Hooker Gungahlin; Large Residential Agency of the Year: Independent; Medium Residential Agency of the Year: McGrath Dickson; Small Residential Agency of the Year: En Vogue Property Management; Residential Property Manager of the Year: Kimberly Nugent, Independent Property Management; Residential Property Management Team of the Year: McIntyre Property; Residential Salesperson of the Year: Peta Barrett, LJ Hooker Kippax; Residential Sales Team of the Year: Mark Larmer, Aaron Lewis and Tania Butler-Kemp, Independent Inner North and City.

The Parade second release Canberra developer JWLand has launched the second release of apartments within The Parade, the fifth and final building of the Campbell5 development in Campbell.

The Parade has been designed to make the most of its surrounds, with indoor-outdoor living, the use of materials for a “distinctly Australian feel” (apartments will feature engineered Spotted Gum timber flooring), and a variety of spaces for residents to meet and socialise outside of their apartments, including two rooftop gardens and a communal dining room, and access to Hassett Park.

Campbell5 sales manager Dallas Harry says downsizers living in the precinct

have embraced these features, which have helped to create a “sense of belonging and community spirit”.

The Parade apartments start at $429,000, and construction is expected to be completed mid-2021.

JWLand is currently offering buyers the option to secure their apartment for $1,000, and pay the remaining balance of the initial 5% deposit over a 12-month period, for a limited time.

UC launches building quality centre The University of Canberra’s (UC) Faculty of Arts and Design has developed the International Building Quality Centre (IBQC), to look at the challenges currently facing the building industry with regards to safety and security.

Professor Charles Lemckert, Head of School of Design and Built Environment at UC, said the centre has “come out of the need to look at legislation, regulations and requirements of the building industry to make sure we have the right standards and quality of buildings going up, into the future”.

“We will look at all aspects of building quality, including fire safety and health related matters.”

The IBQC aims to bring together “experts from around the world” to look at best practices and how they can be implemented in the Australian building industry to create “better quality outcomes”.

“It is very timely given the Grenfell Tower incident, which is a cladding design issue.

There have been building quality issues with the Opal Tower in Sydney and the Melbourne Cricket Ground. We now have the opportunity to step back, have a look at the industry, and make it better,” Professor Lemckert said.

There will be opportunities for UC students, as well as policymakers, practitioners and academics to use the resources of the new centre, which will generate an online library to compile best practice research.

For more information on The Parade, visit campbell5.com.au or contact Dallas Harry on 0414 487 086.

Low office vacancy rates Confidence in the ACT’s office market continues to remain strong, with the Property Council of Australia’s Office Market Report recording the ACT’s lowest office vacancy rate in seven years.

“Over the last six months to January 2020, Canberra’s overall vacancy rate decreased to 10.3% from 11.1% – down from 13.3% recorded two years ago, highlighting a continued tightening in the market,” said ACT Executive Director Adina Cirson.

“Demand for office space is second behind Perth when compared with all other Australian capital cities, with the hottest properties being prime office product, highlighting the private sector demand for office environments that assist in staff retention by creating attractive workplaces.”

She said the reduction is due to high demand in Canberra’s commercial leasing sector, with non-CBD markets responsible for the trend.

While the office market vacancy rate in Civic is around 12%, in areas like Barton it is as low as 6.2%. File image.

“The vacancy rate in Civic however has remained reasonably high at 12%, bucked by a further reduction in vacancy in the non-civic market down to 9.6%. This is in line with a national trend for non CBD markets recording vacancy decreases. Vacancy in areas like Barton is as low as 6.2%.”

The Notebook

Friday, NINE, 7.30pm, PG (2004)

The fate of starry-eyed Noah and Allie, young adults falling in love in North Carolina in 1940, is unapologetically writ large in this adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ best-seller (directed by Nick Cassavetes). In flashback, the contents of a journal relate the disruption of the burgeoning affair between poor guy Noah (Ryan Gosling) and well-to-do society gal Allie (Rachel McAdams, pictured).

Friday

pick of the week Brooklyn Friday, SBS, 11pm, M (2015)

This moving story tells the tale of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan, pictured), a young Irish immigrant in the 1950s.

Lured by the promise of a better life in America, Eilis leaves Ireland and for New York City. But what starts as an exciting adventure with an intoxicating romance soon hits hard spots. Engaging, entertaining and emotional, its historical commentary is also to be commended.

Under the eyes of Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), Peter has a chance to prove himself when villain Vulture (Michael Keaton) arrives. Funny and lighthearted, Homecoming is a breezy, refreshing return to fun.

celebrity birthday ALEX BORSTEIN 15 February 1971 Alex needs to pay attention when she is out and about as a casual encounter could become a firm friendship. Also, whatever else is going on behind the scenes, she knows that the time is right to smooth over old family tensions. She wants bliss, beauty and harmony all around her, which is a tall order, but she can begin to set certain plans into gear. If Alex wants to make any kind of changes, be they personal, romantic or domestic, this is the time to put them into place.

Staying Sharp The ELW532THBWH is the latest addition to Sharp’s popular line-up of WriteView capable scientific calculators for high school and university students and teachers.

ELW532THBWH features a stylish design with a black acrylic top and protective cover supporting all the functions and features of its predecessor, the ELW532XHBSL. This Sharp calculator is fitted with Direct Algebraic Logic: for most scientific calculators, keying in an equation is a complicated process; but with DAL, a feature unique to Sharp scientific calculators, symbols and numbers can be keyed in as written.

Founding a dictionary Based on the bestselling novel by Simon Winchester, The Professor and the Madman (M) is an extraordinary true tale of two remarkable men who created history with the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Professor James Murray (Mel Gibson) knew it would take his team over a century to compile all known definitions but by enlisting definitions from others around the world, the dictionary could be compiled in mere decades. One man, Dr WC Minor (Sean Penn), submitted more than 10,000 words, but a shocking truth came to light: Dr Minor was a convicted murderer, who was being held at an asylum for the criminally insane.

In cinemas 20 February.

My favourite things HISTORY Peru and its history have often intertwined with Australia, and has been a vital part of exploring the relationship between the two countries. I love Machu Picchu; it symbolises the excellent technical skill and productivity of the Inca Empire in its apogee.

It is surrounded by beautiful and impressive mountain peaks and words fall short when trying to describe this place.

My dog Charles was born in Sydney on the day my wife and I arrived in Australia. A Jack RussellChihuahua cross, he understands English and Spanish, and his beauty and age are a testament to the time that we have spent here in Australia.

H.E. Miguel Palomino de la Gala Ambassador of Peru in Australia

Miguel Palomino de la Gala has lived in Canberra since December 2015, with his wife Teresita, and, after four years, feels like a true Canberran. Since his arrival, he has worked hard to strengthen relations between Australia and Peru: in 2018 the Peru-Australia Free Trade Agreement was signed in Canberra and came into force on 11 February 2020. He is a career diplomat and lawyer and holds a Bachelor of Laws and Political Science and a Bachelor Degree in Arts and International Relations. His particular field of experience is multilateral policy, sustainable development and energy. He has worked in a variety of roles in the USA, Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia, Russia and Spain, as President of the Bureau of the Adelboden Group on Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in Mountains, at the United Nations as Chairman of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development, and as the Adviser of the Minister of Energy and Mines in Peru.

FREE TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA Australia’s first silver coins, the ‘holey dollar’, were created from a Spanish silver dollar minted in Mexico in 1805 and Peru in 1810. This signifies Australia’s prosperous trade relations with Peru.

Since 2018, the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Peru has provided greater access to goods, resources and services.

PISCO Pisco is an important part of Peru’s identity and culture. Not only is it a delicious and refreshing alcoholic beverage, but the diverse array of aromas and flavours of its grapes mirror the diversity and richness of Peruvian culture.

The Pisco Sour is my favourite cocktail, especially when made by my wife Teresita.

PERUVIAN GASTRONOMY One of the most varied and exquisite in the world, Peruvian cuisine is the result of fusion of Peruvian and Spanish influences, and customs brought from the Atlantic coast of sub-Saharan Africa and France.

My favourite is ceviche made by Sharon Ruiz, chef of the Residence of the Embassy of Peru.
