This week...

From the editor In this week’s issue, you’ll find our annual wedding feature (pages 27-33). For most couples, planning your wedding day is exciting. And it can be stressful, too – setting a budget, finding a venue and a suitable celebrant, what to wear, the cake, the food, the rings, guest list, seating plans, etc.

According to the experts, it’s important to remember that ‘the big day’ is just the first of what you both hope will be a loving lifetime together.

Top marriage tips from Lysn, an online mental health platform, include: try to schedule quality time to spend together and remind yourselves why you chose to marry each other in the first place; and spend time each day talking with your partner, sharing your day, your feelings and anything that might be upsetting you. Mazel tov.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include fascinating insights into human behaviour at Dr Doug Lisle’s presentation on The Pleasure Trap, great food and company at the Good Food Month launch at Ovolo Nishi, feeling inspired at the Lifeline Canberra Light up the Night gala, enjoying 10cc live in concert, so much to see, hear, do, learn and eat at the National Multicultural Festival, Sunday brunch with a friend, and the contribution made by our former colleague, Liz, who first joined us eight years ago. Thanks Liz. - Julie Samaras

news Skilled Capital funding cuts create uncertainty A local business has had to cancel a Certificate II in Construction course for 25 refugees and asylum seekers on the back of their Government subsidies being cut.

In January, the ACT Government cut subsidies they provide via Skilled Capital, a funding program that helps students undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET).

According to Master Builders ACT, in some cases the Government has cut 100% of the subsidy, while for the majority the subsidy has been cut by at least 50%.

Local RTO Quality Training in Construction (QTiC) CEO/director Lynne Sheffield told Canberra Weekly she had to cancel their course, scheduled to commence 25 February, after being informed by Skills Canberra on 14 February that they will not approve any Skilled Capital funded places for Certificate II in Construction programs this year.

Ms Sheffield said all Skilled Capital funding for Certificate II courses was cut without RTO consultation due to Skills Canberra “mismanaging their budget”.

“The funding that has been denied by the ACT Government provides for the Certificate II in Construction training fees, full time mentor, English coaching, fitness coaching and employment services.”

Ms Sheffield said she’s written to a number of ACT Government politicians outlining her situation, including the Minister for Tertiary Education Andrew Barr, but is yet to receive a sufficient response.

An ACT Government spokesperson said demand for VET has grown significantly in recent years, which has resulted in budgetary pressures.

“In order to balance the need to assist apprentices, trainees and employers in areas of high skill need with available funding, a decision

was made to reduce the subsidies provided, noting areas of identified skill gaps and community need continue to receive the highest rates of subsidy,” they said.

QTiC teaches a Certificate II in Construction to underprivileged Canberrans, immigrants and refugees, kids at risk, and longterm unemployed; and is a pathway to construction industry apprenticeships. Ms Sheffield has run her RTO since 2014.

“There’s a really big need for skilled labourers, there’s a skills shortage. This training is so important,” Ms Sheffield said.

She said no longer having access to the ACT Government funding has put her in a position where she is considering relocating QTiC to NSW or establishing her business as a charity.

The Government spokesperson said they are “not in a position to comment on decisions of individual

businesses”, but that training subsidies remain available to the ACT building and construction industry through multiple government funding sources.

These include the Australian Apprenticeships (User Choice) program, CIT, and the ACT Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA).

“More than $90 million of VET funding will be invested in the ACT in 2019-20 to address areas of skills need and encourage employers to take on new workers,” they said.

“This includes approximately $17 million for the Australian Apprenticeships (User Choice) and Skilled Capital programs.”

The funding required for QTiC is $125,000 per program.

QTiC contributes approximately $50,000 per program on top of the government funding.

Smoke taint hits 2020 vintage A number of Canberra region winemakers are opting not to harvest fruit for vintage 2020 due to smoke taint from the recent bushfires.

Amongst those who have made the difficult decision not to produce wine this year are Clonakilla, Shaw Wines, Poachers Pantry and Lark Hill Winery.

In a statement, Lark Hill Winery said they conducted extensive testing of fruit from their vineyard at Bungendore and Dark Horse Vineyard, Murrumbateman.

“These tests show smoke compounds at 10 times the threshold levels for winemaking. Experimental ferments of these samples have confirmed that wines made from this fruit is unacceptably tainted.”

Clonakilla issued a similar statement citing “unacceptably high levels of smoke taint across all varieties and all vineyard sites” but acknowledged it affects one vintage 8

only and that “winemaking will resume as normal in 2021”.

It has been a challenging season for winemakers with drought, fires, smoke and hail. While the decision not to harvest in 2020 has already been made by a number of individual wineries, the Canberra District Wine Industry Association (CDWIA) said the full impact is yet to be known.

In a recent vintage update, CDWIA said “each area within our district are receiving vastly different levels of smoke taint results, and as several wineries are still going through the smoke testing process, we still don’t have a clear picture of the level of damage to the whole district just yet”.

One vineyard that will be picking is Lake George Winery. Winery coowner Sarah McDougall said their smoke taint results were inconclusive so they have decided to pick Pinot Gris, make a wine and send that off

for further testing. She said it will be about a six-week process and they are “optimistic”.

They also recently picked fruit for verjuice, which is not affected as you “only get smoke taint when you ferment things”.

Ms McDougall, who is also secretary of the CDWIA, said they are hopeful of being able to make other wines but has flagged the possibility of bringing in fruit from non-smoke affected areas to do so. She expects a number of other wineries will follow suit “and continue to make good quality wines”.

While the prospective lack of vintage 2020 is disappointing for the industry, Ms McDougall said local wines will still be available.

“Coming into winter, a lot of the wineries in the district will release their 2018 reds and some 2019 wines.

We all still have a lot of wine to

release so that should get us through to 2021.”

Importantly, the wineries are still open for business “and more than ever we want to see people come and support local”.

capital hill Family violence: time to call it out Scott Morrison spoke for the nation when he responded to the horrific murder suicide of a family in Brisbane. The Prime Minister said that Australians were “shocked, saddened and devastated” by the deaths of a young mother and her three children at the hands of their father.

This latest episode was particularly shocking. The bald facts are: former NRL footballer and fitness trainer, Rowan Baxter – already under a Domestic Violence Order and known to police for ongoing infringements – cold bloodedly murdered his family in a premeditated act. The cruelty was breathtaking. He incinerated them after dousing them in petrol as they sat in their mother Hannah Clarke’s car waiting to be driven to school.

He then stabbed himself to death.

Clarke later died in hospital; the only part of her body not burned

were the soles of her feet.

Here, I believe the media has a greater responsibility to tell it as it is so that our shock will force greater awareness and commitment of resources to deal with this scourge. The real story of the Brisbane atrocity gradually came out, but even then in soft terms of “alleged” or “five people died after a car fire”. Baxter, who was dead, deserved no right of privacy or presumption of innocence for his confronting act “of senseless murder” as the Prime Minister called it.

Labor’s Anthony Albanese calls this horrific event part of an “epidemic” with one woman in Australia each week killed by her partner, estranged or otherwise.

This appalling reality, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, touched 2.2 million Australians by

way of physical or sexual violence from a partner. That was four years ago. The Queensland Police Commissioner, Katarina Carroll said last week that police in her state fielded 260 domestic violence “occurrences” a day. That works out to around 100,000 a year.

There is no place for political point scoring here. Domestic violence cannot be part of the “culture wars”. The pushback from some politicians like Pauline Hanson and her NSW One Nation Party leader, Mark Latham, is cruelly misguided. This is not about “feminazis” wanting to knock men off their perches; it is about facing the facts that women and children make up the overwhelming number of victims.

Rosie Batty, whose estranged husband murdered their son in an act of deranged revenge, has

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

called for reform of the family law system, not the Family Court’s abolition. She says the “assumption of shared custody” introduced into the Family Law Act by the Howard Government should be scrapped. Albanese agrees; he says what courts should be able to do is to take into account the specific circumstances “rather than just assume, because quite clearly we know what a threat (Baxter) was to his family”.

Before last year’s election, the Morrison Government committed $60 million to fund emergency housing for domestic violence “refugees”. It was a start; Batty and others have a longer to-do list.

news Australia ‘ground zero’ for climate crisis: ANU

NMF well attended

Australia is “ground zero” for what is a “climate crisis”, according to Professor Mark Howden from the Australian National University (ANU).

The Director of the ANU Climate Change Institute said “there’s been much commentary that we’re facing a climate emergency, but I call it a climate crisis”, at the annual Climate Update in mid-February.

“An emergency is an unexpected situation requiring immediate action. However, the situation we find ourselves in has been entirely predictable and the ongoing impacts of climate change and need for informed and just responses will last for centuries.

“Many of the solutions we need are available, affordable and scalable, but they usually need a supportive policy environment to help them get adopted. The urgency of effective action is growing by the day.”

Professor Howden said the impacts of climate change, particularly after the horrors of this summer, are “now impossible to ignore”.

This is evident in the results from the January 2020 ANUpoll, which showed three-quarters of Australian adults reporting they were affected by

A celebration of cultural diversity that attracts hundreds of thousands to the centre of Canberra for music, dance and food, this year’s National Multicultural Festival was on par with previous events.

Held in Civic on 21-23 February, large crowds enjoyed perfect weather across the event which saw approximately 200,000 people in attendance.

This year’s festival featured an expanded footprint to include three family spaces in Glebe Park, Civic Library and Canberra Museum and Gallery with the success of the expansion to Glebe Park to be reviewed over the next few weeks.

The event attracted over 350 stalls and 150 performers from across six continents, while over 2,000 performers took part in the Annual National Multicultural Festival Parade on Saturday 22 February.

Organisers will now turn their attention to 2021 with the festival set to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

the recent bushfires, and around half of Australian voters now listing the environment as number one or two on their list of concerns.

“We found that about three million people – more than 14% of adult Australians – reported that they were directly exposed to this year’s bushfires,” said lead researcher Nicholas Biddle.

“This widespread, direct exposure includes property damage, property being threatened and being advised to evacuate.”

Professor Biddle said more than 15 million Australians reported some kind of indirect exposure, including “having a friend or family member that had property damage; having a friend or family that had property threatened; having their travel or holiday plans affected; being exposed to the physical effects of smoke; or feeling anxious or worried”.

“Nearly every Australian has been touched by these fires and many of us will be living with the effects for years and years to come. We already see a shift in views regarding coal mines and the environment, but the big question will be whether these shifts are temporary or permanent.”

news Marching on for Soldier On Soldier On is calling on Australians to get involved in the ‘March On’ challenge, and walk 96km during the month of March to support the veteran community.

Acting CEO of Solider On Australia, Prudence Slaughter, said this is the first time Solider On has run the challenge, which is modelled on the 96km Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea and comes in three levels: the Hill Challenge, where participants are required to walk 96km throughout March (about 3km a day); the Mountain Challenge, where participants choose a nominated walking track in their area to complete in sections; and the Pinnacle Challenge, where participants will complete a professionally guided trek of the Kokoda Track.

“It’s really important because it demonstrates the commitment and

the support that Australia does have for veterans,” Ms Slaughter says.

“Obviously with marching being an intrinsic part of [the] Defence Force, it’s an opportunity to stand side-by-side with those who have given so much to Australia and served Australia, and raise some money for Solider On so our programs can go further, reach more, and enable veterans to thrive across Australia.”

Soldier On employee Sharon Sloan has elected to take on the Pinnacle Challenge for March On, and will be heading to Papua New Guinea in April to take on the Kokoda Track.

“One of the driving points of it was my uncle was in the army, and was killed in Vietnam in battle just before the war ended. I guess now with me working with Soldier On, it gave me more of a reason and

purpose to actually complete the trek, and also to better understand the mental and physical challenges that men and women went through whilst they were in PNG at the time,” she says.

“I’m looking forward to that personal challenge. I think it’s going to be a really strong learning opportunity for myself, individually, to better understand what they went through.”

She says participating in March On is a great way to raise funds, and awareness for what “Soldier On does and is prepared to do to support those who have served or those who are continuing to serve, and their families”.

Funds raised from March On will go towards Soldier On’s programs across the country. Ms Slaughter says Soldier On works hard to support veterans and their families with individualised, trauma-informed and veteran-

news Shelter event re-homes 112 pets More than 100 animals in Canberra found their forever homes on 21-22 February as part of the national RSPCA initiative Clear the Shelter.

In total, RSPCA ACT had 112 adoptions, four more than last year, with three birds, 11 cats, 52 fish, three fowl, two guinea pigs and 17 kittens finding homes.

Eighteen dogs were also adopted, however as of Monday 24 February, RSPCA ACT was still keen to find new owners for Thomas and Chance. There are also a handful of bunnies left at the shelter including long-term residents Hazel and Fae.

Thomas is still looking for a new home after missing out on adoption at RSPCA ACT’s recent Clear the Shelter event.

Mobile phone detection for ACT roads The ACT Government will look into the use of mobile phone detection cameras to address the issue of driver distraction.

Road Safety Minister Shane Rattenbury said funding was allocated for this in the mid-year budget, with the issue of driver distraction a “high priority” for the Government.

“Drivers using mobile phones and other devices while driving is extremely dangerous.

Research has shown that distracted drivers, such as those who look at their mobile phones while driving, are three times more likely to be involved in a crash,” he said.

“Drivers are continuing to use their mobile phones while

driving. At 60km/h, looking at your phone for just three seconds means you are driving blind for 50 metres.”

He said while they may be seen as controversial, he believed the Canberra community would support the introduction of the cameras.

“Distracted driving is not on. Drivers who engage in this practice are endangering the lives of everyone on our roads,” Mr Rattenbury said.

“To combat this significant road safety issue, the ACT Government is now exploring the possible future introduction of mobile phone detection cameras, similar to those rolled out in NSW.”

Violence prevention training YWCA Canberra is offering Canberra-based businesses training and support for ‘bystander approaches’ to prevent violence against women.

Small and medium businesses in Canberra dealing with faceto-face clients are able to access free training for staff on using bystander approaches, which are positive ways people can

intervene in violence, harassment or other anti-social behaviour.

Canberra-based employers are encouraged to participate in the training opportunity, with the next free session to be held on Thursday 5 March 1-4.30pm.

Brumbies taste NZ success

LT •F OO D • CU

The Brumbies recorded their first win in New Zealand since 2014, and their first over the Chiefs away since 2007, with a 26-14 victory on Saturday 22 February.

The visitors got off to a strong start to lead 26-0 before the Chiefs started to come back through Aaron Cruden, the veteran picking a perfect line from close range to score. That effort lifted the home side and the Brumbies were forced to defend their line, eventually holding on for the win.

The result was particularly pleasing for coach Dan McKellar given the challenges the club faced earlier in the week with a number of cases of mumps within the playing and team staff.

“This club is built around resilience and we’ve shown plenty of that over the last 10 days and to come over here against a quality team and get a result on their turf is incredibly pleasing,” McKellar said. The Brumbies have a bye in round five of the Super Rugby competition.

In other news, the Brumbies women remain unbeaten this season with a penalty from Sammie Wood sealing a 25-22 victory against the Melbourne Rebels. The Brumbies Super W side will take on the NSW Waratahs in round three on Friday 28 February in Sydney.

Caps forced to decider A third match was required in the best-of-three semi-final series between the UC Capitals and Melbourne Boomers after the series was levelled on Sunday 23 February.

The Boomers defeated the Capitals 88-76 with game three of the series played at the AIS Arena, Canberra on Wednesday 26 February. The result was not known at time of print.

The winner advances to the grand final where they will face

the number one seeded Southside Flyers, who will hold home court advantage in the best of three series starting on Sunday 1 March at Dandenong Stadium.

Slow cooked massaman beef Recipe courtesy of Australian Sweet Potatoes | australiansweetpotatoes.com.au Serves: 6 Prep: 30 mins Cook: 3 hrs 45 mins 1 1/2 kg beef chuck steak, trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 large brown onion, finely chopped 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 cup desiccated coconut 1/3 cup (114g can) massaman curry paste 400ml can coconut milk 1/2 cup beef stock 1kg sweet potato, peeled, chopped into 5cm chunks 1 Tbsp fish sauce 1 Tbsp lime juice 1 Tbsp finely grated palm sugar or brown sugar 3 Tbsp roasted salted peanuts, chopped Steamed jasmine rice, to serve

34

Preheat oven to 130°C fan forced.

Season beef with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in an ovenproof casserole dish over a high heat. Add one-third of the beef.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove to a plate. Repeat twice with oil and remaining beef.

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tsp oil and the onion.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until soft. Add cinnamon, coconut and curry paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and stock. Return the beef and any juices, bring to simmer. Press a piece of baking paper onto the surface and cover with lid. Transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.

Stir in the sweet potato. Cover with paper and lid and cook, in oven, a further 1 1/2 hours until sweet potato is tender. Combine fish sauce, lime juice and sugar and stir into the curry. Scatter over the peanuts. Serve with rice.

Serves: 4 Prep: 30 mins Cook: 15 mins 1 Tbsp (15ml) extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp smoked or regular paprika 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt (use more or less to taste) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice 1 pound (454g) tilapia 8 corn tortillas 1 cup (90g) shredded purple cabbage, for topping 1 cup (70g) broccoli slaw, for topping Chopped fresh coriander, for topping (optional) Avocado aioli, for topping Limes wedges, for serving

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne, and lime juice. Pour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag.

Add the tilapia to the resealable bag with the mixture, securely seal the bag, and squeeze and shake the bag to coat the fish with the spices.

Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil. Place the marinated fish, with the marinade from the bag, onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until the tilapia is fully cooked and easily flakes with a fork. If you would like to add a golden colour to the fish, set it under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly brown.

Remove the pan from the oven and use a fork to break up the fish into bite-size chunks. Set aside.

Equally divide the fish into 4 containers, storing the tortillas, any toppings, and lime wedges in separate containers and/or resealable plastic bags. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy the tacos, microwave the fish for 30 to 45 seconds and warm the tortillas in a large skillet over high heat.

Top with the cabbage, slaw, and coriander (if using), and serve with the lime wedges and avocado aioli.

Avocado aioli 2 large ripe avocados 2/3 cup (160g) low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice

Cut the avocados in half, carefully remove the pits, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Place the flesh into a food processor or blender. Add all the remaining ingredients to the food processor or blender and blend until just smooth.

Equally divide the aioli into 4 to 6 small containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

A convoy of more than 30 RFS trucks drove from Bungendore to the Museum to deliver the firies’ fridge, where hundreds of emergency service workers and volunteers gathered to greet it.

The Bungendore firies’ fridge was delivered to the National Museum of Australia on Friday 21 February, the event becoming a powerful gathering that enabled the firefighting community to touch base. Photos: George Serras NMA.

Famous firies’ fridge on display A beautiful symbol of humanity and community spirit in the thick of the summer’s bushfire crisis went on display at the National Museum of Australia (NMA) last week.

Many Canberrans heard of the Hooper family’s iconic firies’ fridge that was stocked with cold drinks beside the road in Bungendore for thirsty firefighters battling blazes in the region.

That story did the rounds through both social and traditional media channels across the world.

It just was one of the many heart-warming, community-driven stories reported on over the summer, a display of the Australian spirit in the face of crisis, offering respite from the devastation.

The fridge was placed on the verge of Bungendore’s main road by Scott and Claire Hooper, in December 2019 while the fires near Braidwood were burning at their peak.

Later that day, two RFS volunteers got two icy poles out of the fridge, went back to their

truck, and took a selfie, which one of the men sent to his wife, who then posted it to the Bungendore community page on Facebook.

Within a few days, members of the community were stopping by to fill the fridge with soft drinks, snacks, water and more. It then escalated to the point where this story received international attention.

Curator at the Museum, Craig Middleton, says he was delighted when he received an email from Bungendore RFS Deputy Captain Richard Thorek about the fridge out of the blue a few weeks ago.

“Once a lot of the fires were being controlled and extinguished even, there were far fewer trucks passing by the fridge.

“Two weeks ago, this, in combination with the quite heavy rainfall over recent weeks, meant (the Hoopers) were going to take the fridge off the road because they didn’t want it to get damaged.”

Initially, the Hoopers offered to donate the fridge to the Bungendore RFS. “They said ‘look yes, we’d love to take the supplies, but don’t you think keeping this in the back of our shed is a bit of a waste’. “(Thorek) sent us an email offering the fridge to us, and of course we were interested and really excited about it,” Middleton says.

From there, Middleton reached out to the fridge’s owners, the Hoopers, meeting with them and hearing their story.

“With such an important object, at this crucial moment in this season there was no other option but to move forward at the pace we did to get this object to the Museum.”

It culminated in a convoy of around 32 or 33 RFS trucks driving from Bungendore to the Museum to deliver the fridge on Friday 21 February. There were hundreds of emergency service workers and volunteers in attendance, with the powerful gathering acting as an opportunity for the community to touch base and support one another.

“There was lots of hugs, and comments like ‘the last time I saw you the flames were 30 metres high’ – it was a very powerful event.”

Middleton says this fridge represents a significant symbol of the Australian spirit in the face of crisis.

“This is more than just a fridge, more than just a story of supplying the RFS with donations, really about community rallying together.

Unknown to the Hoopers, this bigger sense of community built itself around their act.

“A lot of people in a really anxious time just wanted to do something, and this was a really modest little offering,” Middleton says.

The Bungendore firies’ fridge is now on display in the Museum’s atrium, where it will be for at least five weeks.

dedicated kids’ festival, street food and stalls, local beer and wine, an array of street and circus performances, and more.

Twenty-nine international acts from across the globe will be performing, and will join a bevy of Australian acts led by Festival Youth Ambassador, Canberra’s Lucy Sugerman.

This year, The Folkie will support fire-affected folk festivals.

The popular Fitzroy Pavilion venue will be renamed the Hope for Folk stage, with 100% of proceeds from the adjoining bar going to the Cobargo, Nariel Creek and Numeralla folk communities. On the Saturday, it will host a concert featuring performers originally programmed for those festivals.

The 54th National Folk Festival will be held at Exhibition Park in Canberra from 9-13 April; folkfestival.org.au

Photographers unite for IWD Hundreds of female photographers will converge on the Capital for the Canberra Day long weekend for a series of events promoting equality and inclusion in the arts.

The Loud and Luminous project celebrates and recognises the important contributions of contemporary women photographers in Australia.

The theme for Loud and Luminous 2020 is equality, echoing the UN sustainable development goals of ‘gender equality’.

The Canberra symposium will be held 6 March at Harmonie German Club, Narrabundah; loudandluminous.com.au

Club Ate to light up NGA Performance artists and leaders of the Sydney queer art and club scene, Club Ate, will light up the iconic 60m façade of the National Gallery of Australia for Canberra’s 2020 Enlighten Festival.

Over 11 nights, water and bodies will flow across the Gallery’s facade in Club Ate’s monumental video projection, In Muva We Trust.

In response to the illuminations, the collective, led by interdisciplinary artists Bhenji Ra and Justin Shoulder, will also host Club Muva, a free, one-night-only, live event to be held Saturday 7 March.

Australian author Dervla McTiernan’s first two novels, The Ruin and The Scholar, shot her towards the top of the international crime writing tree with a host of awards and solid sales.

The books featured Detective Cormac Reilly, a former rising star in the Dublin-based Special Detective Unit, who has returned to his hometown of Galway to be with his fiancée, much to the displeasure of some of his newer colleagues.

In The Good Turn, Reilly is still struggling with his move to Galway and having to deal with the resentment of those outside his team.

His Superintendent, Brian Murphy, also doesn’t make his life easy, content to play office politics and showing favouritism to the Drug Task Force run by his son. When a young girl is snatched off the streets, Murphy refuses Reilly the extra manpower he needs. That decision leads to Peter Fisher, an inexperienced detective in Reilly’s team, acting on his own and making a terrible mistake. Reilly is held responsible and put on suspension, while Fisher is shunted off to work in his father’s police station in Roundstone, the little coastal village where he grew up. As Reilly tries to get to the bottom of what happened, another crime occurs.

The Good Turn is a very good book. It is pacier than the first two novels, but still features the same exquisite attention to plotting. The various strands of the plot are well worked out and Dervla interweaves an interesting murder mystery into the over-arching framework about drugs and corruption. Although Reilly features prominently in the book, much of the story is seen through the eyes of the exiled Peter Fisher, which adds an extra dimension to the plot.

In all, The Good Turn is a very enjoyable read and another impressive novel by the ever improving Ms McTiernan.

Richard Jewell (M) In 1996, wannabe policeman Richard Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser) works as a security guard at Centennial Park during the Atlanta Olympic Games. Jewell successfully clears an area right before a backpack bomb explodes, leading to the city heralding him as a hero, before the FBI start thinking otherwise …

Like Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg’s efforts in Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon and Patriots Day, director Clint Eastwood has made a concerted effort to celebrate national heroes in his last few films; everyday Americans who step up when the need arises.

Sully explored the exploits of a pilot who saved all on board his flight; The 15:17 to Paris actually starred the real-life people who foiled a terrorist attempt; and The

Mule told the real-life story of a WWII veteran who became a drug courier.

While Jewell similarly shares these main protagonists’ want of being a hero for their country, the movie shares more with Sully: after a heroic deed, having to front an investigation probing for any fault or, in Jewell’s case, actual cause. The strength of the movie calls into question Jewell’s motives for wanting to be considered a hero and his unwavering respect to authority. It is all the stronger for the great performances from the ensemble cast including a dogged FBI agent (Jon Hamm), anti-authoritarian defence lawyer (Sam Rockwell), and proud mother (Kathy Bates).

Verdict: An uncomfortable exploration of the want to be considered a hero, under a sobering critical eye as to the motive. 4 stars.

Global phenomenon The Full Monty director Peter Cattaneo recruits A-listers Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan to lead this inspiring drama about the bravery of the women of war, and the power of the music that saved them. The life of a military wife can be tough. Kate (Scott Thomas), the perfect officer’s wife, bears it all with grace and stoicism. She finds freedom in song, persuading a ragtag group of women on the base to form the Military Wives Choir. Initially sceptical, rebel newcomer Lisa (Horgan) is quickly transformed by the choir. Inspired by a true-life global phenomenon, Military Wives (M) is in cinemas 12 March.

Filtered water: is it necessary?

Compared to the 2 billion people on the planet contending with contaminated water, we’re blessed to have tap water that is plentiful and safe. In fact, Canberrans are known to be drinking some of the best water in Australia, with a local sample awarded the best tap water for the ACT and NSW in 2017.

Bottled gold At almost 2,000 times the price of tap water, bottled water is no bargain; however, we’re apparently willing to pay more for convenience and the perception of quality. Marketed with images of a pristine lakes and snow-capped mountains, bottled water looks good but belies the fact that tap water needs to meet much more stringent quality criteria and is monitored far more carefully than bottled water. Bottled water also commonly contains toxic microplastic particles that are produced in the bottling process. However, the most compelling reason to ditch bottled water is the massive environmental cost of manufacturing, transporting and then the disposal of plastic bottles – a staggering one million a minute globally.

Dirtier than it looks Whilst Canberra water is drawn out of the pristine Cotter catchment, it must first be sanitised to kill off any bacteria and viruses that it may contain and dosed with fluoride to combat tooth decay.

Then, it’s sent through tunnels and pipes of varying ages and quality absorbing concrete, plastic and metals until it comes out of your tap. At this point the water contains chlorine, fluorine compounds, Trihalomethanes (which are formed when chlorine reacts with natural organic matter), assorted

Windows aren’t just something you look through, they play an important part in how energy efficient your home is.

Wonderful windows Arch, square, round; windows are a source of natural light and fresh air for your home and, if you’re lucky, a scenic view. But no matter how good your window, it’s basically a hole in your wall. CW Home editor Allison Turnbull went to the experts to get the lowdown on all things windows.

Where to start?

The best approach to window glazing is to have less of it and to think very hard about where you put it.

According to Jenny Edwards, Director at Light House Architecture & Science, point most of it north to soak up free heat in winter and make sure your windows are shaded in summer to prevent your home from overheating.

“It’s sad to see new homes in Canberra constructed with single-glazed aluminium windows,” Jenny says. “These are terrible in summer and winter. A single pane of glass is a meagre barrier against the winter cold and the summer heat. And the aluminium frame conducts heat, letting it escape in winter and letting it in during summer.

“In Canberra’s climate, it makes sense to install double-glazed windows in new homes.

For some existing homes, it might not be worth the expense, depending on how well or poorly 44

the home performs in other ways, like air leakage, insulation and orientation.”

She says it’s also important to remember not all windows are equal.

“There are big differences in cost between suppliers, but there are also big differences in quality, so don’t assume that a cheaper product will automatically save you money. Do your homework on your product as well as your supplier.”

Double glazing There are three major options when it comes to double glazing for your home: include it as part of your new build, replacement, or retrofit.

Karen Porter, CEO of Solace Creations, says replacement will get a better outcome than retrofitting because with the latter “you are working with your current windows” – but it still has its place.

“It’s probably good for people in a body corporate who can’t change the look of their windows or if they are on a budget,” she says.

“It will provide some benefit but it’s not a complete solution.”

Replacement involves removing existing windows and putting in new windows and sealing it up. While replacement is a more costly option, Karen says it can be done in zones

as your budget allows. In a small home, she recommends living areas first as “that’s where we spend most of our time”, then bedrooms.

“You don’t have to do all or nothing,” she says. “The benefit of doing it all at once is that you have the building sealed. The idea is to seal the building envelope. What people don’t understand is your windows and doors are a missing link to the insulation of your house.”

If you’re involved with a new build, Karen recommends installing double glazing from the start, allocating 10% of your build cost to windows.

“It’s a no brainer to put it in when building.”

She says the benefits of double glazing include creating a quieter, more comfortable environment, reducing energy usage and increasing your home’s EER (Energy Efficiency Rating).

And if you’re thinking of triple glazing, think again. Karen says double glazing is more than enough for the Canberra climate, a view shared by Jenny Edwards.

“The benefit you get from triple glazing over double glazing is modest at best, but the cost difference is huge, so the bang for buck usually isn’t there,” Jenny says.

What’s in a frame?

Alongside glass, another important consideration for your window is the frame.

According to Matt Smith, ACT/NSW Manager of Taylor’s Window Supplies, aluminium windows have come a long way, with more flexibility in terms of design and finishes than ever before.

“Australians are demanding greater energy efficiency than ever before,” Matt says, “and one of the biggest culprits when it comes to poor energy efficiency are old-style aluminium windows. In fact, the Australian Window Association estimates old aluminium windows let in up to 87% of heat during summer and lose up to 40% of heat during winter. That’s huge.”

According to Matt, the main reason for this is that aluminium is a conductor and the glass used in these windows is on average only 3mm thick.

New technology, such as ThermalHEART, helps to create more energy efficient windows.

“ThermalHEART products include a polyamide insulator, or thermal break, between the aluminium exterior and interior. This break lessens the transfer of heat and cold through

the aluminium frame, giving the window excellent insulation properties.”

Thermally broken frames perform better – without it you can lose about 30% of your heating and cooling through your frames.

Options include timber, uPVC or thermally broken aluminium.

Glass technology has also improved,

according to Matt.

“One of these technologies is low e coating – or glass with a special coating on one surface.

Essentially, this reduces heat coming in during summer and heat going out during winter.

Talking temperature Most of your home’s energy is lost through windows, with research suggesting up to 40% of temperature lost and 87% of heat gained in your home occurs through uncovered windows.

When it comes to keeping the heat at bay or keeping heat locked in, window furnishings, blinds and shutters can offer a sustainable solution and enhance the performance of existing windows.

“During the day, your windows let in more radiant energy than gets out. Sunlight enters through the glass, but as the window is unable to let infrared radiation escape, your home will get warmer and warmer,” says Vera Meharg, Marketing Communications Manager, Luxaflex Window Fashions.

“Stopping the heat of the sun from entering your home in the first place is much better than letting it in and cooling it down afterwards.”

Actions as simple as closing window coverings first thing in the morning will prevent the heat of the day from entering, and help retain the coolest temperatures from overnight.

Window fashions Window treatments are used by homeowners to dress a room, provide privacy and manage direct sunlight, which improves energy efficiency in the home. They’re a popular decor item, with over one-third (39%) of renovating homeowners purchasing a window treatment in 2018, according to Houzz research.

Editor at Houzz Australia and New Zealand, Vanessa Walker, has spoken to a variety of professionals about window furnishings.

“Curtains are the most searched on Houzz and this may be because of a growing love for sheer curtains, which adds a sense of luxury to a room without reducing natural light. However, sheer curtains have poor insulation so if used in a room that you want to keep cool, such as a bedroom, it would be wise to pair them with blockout curtains or blinds,” she says.

Window treatments are used by homeowners to dress a room, provide privacy and manage direct sunlight to improve energy efficiency in the home.

“Blinds offer a lot of privacy, covering the window from edge to edge, which makes them versatile and suitable for every room. The most popular choices are roller, roman and venetian blinds.

“When having blinds installed, make sure you provide the installer with the correct measurements to avoid the blinds covering too much or not enough

of your window.”

For extra convenience, consider a motorised blind which allows you to open and close them from a smartphone or remote.

Shutters, in particular plantation shutters, are also popular in coastal or federation homes.

“An important thing to remember is that shutters take up extra space when folded away so are more suited to a larger home.

“The cost of shutters will vary depending on the style, material choice and whether they’re custommade, but they are often considered more expensive than other window treatments.”

Safety first Window coverings, such as curtains, shades and blinds, with cords and chains can cause injury and death to young children and babies if they become wrapped around their necks. The ACCC suggests all cords throughout the house should be secured; cords can be secured with tie-downs (cleats) or tension devices that enclose cords and chain loops, and out of reach of children. Alternatively, consider replacing corded blinds and curtains with cordless alternatives. Safer designs of window coverings are available for most applications.

It’s time to plant seedlings of cool season annuals, giving them time to establish while temperatures are still mild.

Wild about rocket Wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) is a musthave in any garden, not least because of its versatility.

This delicious perennial leafy green grows well throughout the year, including summer if it’s established beforehand. It tastes similar although stronger in flavour than conventional garden rocket (Eruca vesicaria), but doesn’t become bitter when the leaves mature, giving it an extended harvest.

The leaves are full of nutrition, such as vitamins C and K, as well as zeaxanthin and lutein, which have been shown to assist with eye and vision health. The petite yellow flowers, also edible, are popular with beneficials and bees. Fine seed pods develop soon after, which self-seed around the garden. Simply remove any unwanted plants.

Wild rocket can be used fresh, steamed or lightly stir fried. It makes a delicious pesto or addition to a prosciutto and freshly shaved parmesan pizza.

Wild rocket is a useful companion plant in

the garden due to its pungent foliage, which deters and confuses pests. It’s also an excellent bio-fumigant crop, making it useful in veg garden crop rotation systems.

In the garden • After such a dry summer, you will likely need to remove and mulch some dead plants. If you are concerned about fire risk, the mulch can be buried as part of a trench composting system or stored in sealed containers until the weather is more favourable.

• Water trees if generous rains are absent, to give them a chance to recover from summer before the cold weather sets in. You may need to de-compact the soil beforehand to encourage absorption. Focus the water towards the drip line of the tree, where it will be most effective.

• Planting new seedlings? Dehydrated soils?

A handy soil conditioner and natural wetting agent can be made from agar-agar

(derived from seaweed). Make sure the soil is moist before applying; www.abc. net.au/gardening/factsheets/diy-wettingagent/10838058.

• Seedlings of cool season crops (e.g. brassicas) can be planted early autumn, giving them time to establish while the soil is still warm. You can also sow seed of faster growing leafy greens (e.g. rocket, lettuce, endive, Asian greens), either direct or into punnets of seed raising mix. Peas can be sown direct where they are to grow (protect from snails).

Fiery happenings In response to this summer’s devastating bushfires, David Holmgren, co-originator of the permaculture concept, has written a new piece outlining practical solutions for mitigating bushfire risk whilst at the same time reducing greenhouse gases, and building household and community-level resilience: holmgren.com.au/ bushfire-resilient-land-and-climate-care/ David has also made the two chapters about bushfire in his book RetroSuburbia, available as a free and sharable download: files.holmgren. com.au/downloads/RetroSuburbia_Bushfire_ Resilience_Extract.pdf

Weekly market wrap Over the last three weeks, auction results have demonstrated strong demand for properties in Canberra. Clearance rates exceeded 70% for two weekends and just nudged past 90% on the third. The number of scheduled auctions explains the variation in results.

CoreLogic reported for the week ending 23 February, there were 75 scheduled auctions with 50 confirmed results, achieving a 70% preliminary clearance rate. For the week ending 16 February, there were 48 scheduled auctions with 31 confirmed results, achieving a clearance rate of 90.3%. The previous week, ending 9 February, had 70 scheduled auctions with 45 confirmed results, achieving a 77.8% clearance rate. These results show higher clearance rates during weeks with fewer properties going to auction.

Kris Hellier of McGrath Gungahlin said “from the experience I’ve had this year, buyer demand has led to five of the properties I’ve sold this year selling prior to auction. Buyers don’t want to risk waiting for auction and are actively seeking to secure properties prior.

“Properties in Belconnen and Gungahlin are experiencing strongest demand from $550,000 to $900,000,” Hellier said.

On Saturday 22 February, there were two auction results exceeding $3 million. One of these, the sale of 13 Bass Gardens, Griffith, set a suburb record.

During the final quarter of 2019, seven properties in Canberra sold for more than $3 million.

According to Andrew Chamberlain of Blackshaw Real Estate, “quality homes and unprecedented buyer confidence” were driving the volume of transactions at this level.

WITH SAM DODIMEAD, LOCAL PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL AND HOST OF CANBERRA PROPERTY PODCAST

“A significant number of high calibre listings and similar transactions are in the pipeline,” Chamberlain said.

Favourable for investors Current market conditions are favourable for those considering investing in property.

Historically low interest rates and attractive rental yields, especially in the multi-unit market, make a compelling case for property investment.

During the December 2019 quarter, ABS data showed a 15.47% increase on the previous quarter in lending to investors. This is consistent with the increased demand I’ve experienced from buyers seeking investment properties.

According to Hellier, “investors are actively seeking all types of dwellings”.

“Yield and rental prices are at the highest they have been and are steadily increasing. If the market jumps 5-10% this year as forecast, that’s an opportunity for investors.”

SQM Research found the average gross rental yield for all multi-unit dwellings is 5.5% and increased to 5.8% for those with two bedrooms.

“I recently sold a property in Ngunnawal which attracted eight offers from people looking to invest,” said Hellier.

Canberra’s property market is supported by a robust local economy which continues to perform highly in comparison to other jurisdictions.

Abode announces South Coast location

Iconic Hotels has announced a 52-room four-star hotel for Malua Bay on the NSW South Coast.

Abode Malua Bay will be the seventh hotel in the Abode portfolio, and is expected to open its doors to guests in March.

“Abode Malua Bay offers all the inclusions our guests are familiar with, in a premium beachfront location,” said Iconic Hotels general manager Rien Donkin.

“Just metres from Malua Bay Beach, the hotel offers unrivalled ocean views, and will cater predominantly for leisure guests.”

It is also bike, surfboard and pet friendly, with all rooms featuring kitchenettes and washer/dryer facilities.

rare find

R E A L E S TAT E

Rare, rural retreat Currowan NSW 192 Western Distributor Road Set on 40 acres of land, this spacious home is filled to the brim with charm and unique features, as well as bush views from every window.

Elders Batemans Bay director Greig McFarlane says the home is “spacious, light-filled and welcoming”.

“The property will appeal to anyone who wants a country lifestyle but also have easy access to Batemans Bay, Braidwood and Canberra. Horse riders can enjoy the miles of trails through bushland, and swimming in the creek’s waterholes in summer is a special treat,” he says.

“Over the past 18 years, the owner has been very comfortable there and will miss living in such a unique home.”

Built in the 1990s, the twostorey home boasts a large master suite with ensuite and private balcony, while the guest bedroom on the ground floor also includes an ensuite. The kitchen, living and dining spaces are packed with character, and the living room features a large combustion fire.

The home is flooded with natural light, showing off the unique architectural inclusions, including timber-framed windows, soaring ceilings on the lower floor and the unique staircase design. The 260sqm home is off-the-grid, with solar panels and battery, petrol generator, gas hot water and cooking and NBN connectivity.

Outside, make the most of the 40 acres with the fully fenced yard and boundaries, native gardens, horse stables, creek frontage, large shed and water tanks.

McFarlane says this “tranquil and unique property will steal your heart”.

“Located only 20 minutes to Batemans Bay and 30 minutes to

Braidwood, this property presents a wonderful opportunity to live in a tightly held location surrounded by properties of similar size in a very friendly community.”

Designed to impress Forde 13 Buscombe Street Situated in the Canberra suburb of Forde, this outstanding home has been built to impress.

Harcourts Brindabella sales consultant Shaun Stanmore says 13 Buscombe Street, an ex-display home, is located in a beautifully maintained area of the suburb.

“This home is in the original display street of Forde and this shows in the quality of the homes. The street is quiet and all of the neighbours seem to be house proud and keep their homes looking immaculate.

“The location is fantastic,” Stanmore says, “with the Forde shops, restaurants and Burgmann College only 350m away, Amaroo school only a few minutes’ drive and Gungahlin Town Centre five minutes away.

“I think the fact that it is so close to Burgmann College is a big selling point, it’s a very popular college.”

Inside the home, you’ll find four bedrooms and a plethora of family living and entertaining space, including an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, as well as sunken living/dining room and a rumpus room.

“13 Buscombe is a well-designed

quality home with a spacious living area and has an outdoor entertaining area that sells the home,” Stanmore says.

“People will love the privacy and space of the outdoor entertaining area, from the high arched canopy styled pergola roof to the built in outdoor cooktop. This area is an entertainer’s dream space.

“There are three areas within the home that can be used as separate living areas.”

As well as a multitude of living spaces, the home boasts a gourmet kitchen, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, double garage with internal access and loft storage and wet bar in the rumpus. The master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite with double vanity and shower heads, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom with spa.

Outside, the covered pergola area ensures entertaining is possible yearround, with tiles and timber flooring and an outdoor mini kitchen.

Stanmore says this home would be perfect for a family looking for room to grow.

“The ideal buyers for this home would be a family who are needing to upgrade and have some room to spread out,” he says.

celebrity birthday REBEL WILSON 2 March 1980 Rebel has many great ideas. She will reconnect with people she’d almost forgotten about and they’ll be thrilled to hear from her. Everything is going her way, her confidence is growing in leaps and bounds. However, she needs to be careful of browbeating others, or she risks destroying perfectly good friendships and associations.

To create future security, Rebel needs to be crystal clear about what she wants out of life and not allow herself to be side-tracked.

in the stars ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Your mind could be cluttered up with some unnecessary or even silly problems which have become disproportionate. As a result, you’re not at your most assertive or determined. Perhaps you’re more tired than you realise. Take heart; things change on 21 March when the Sun enters your sign.

There may be a few trying days ahead but it’s a temporary glitch, possibly caused by someone close to you being unnecessarily disagreeable. Visitors from overseas will also feature, and mixing business with pleasure will be excellent for all concerned. Your entertaining skills will be appreciated.

It looks like your love life will be

You recognise a good investment when you see one. However, you’ll feel challenged because on one hand, ‘investing’ in it could feel like an extravagance, but on the other, you might get such a strong gut reaction to it that it’ll be hard to resist. Trust your instincts.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

If you’ve been experiencing financial issues, these are likely to be resolved after 21 March when you will move forward and put plans into action. A superb influence from Venus comes your way from 5 March, which will enliven your romantic life. Singles, a new relationship is distinctly possible.

Mercury is being distinctly unhelpful at the moment. It’s possible you’ll experience delays or complications when making arrangements with friends and acquaintances. Doublecheck times of arrival, meeting places and details, otherwise they – or you – will turn up an hour early or late, or even mistake the date!

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE In March, both your physical and intellectual energy is very high.

However, you might be prone to speak out of turn and upset people more than you realise. Being consciously aware of this will help because then your quickwitted responses will hit the mark.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

particularly dreamy and delicious for most of March. However, on the work front you might experience muddles and confusion due to other people’s carelessness or forgetfulness. But you’ll be diplomatic as usual, and will bear all this with a patient shrug.

satisfaction!

An interesting month lies ahead, especially if you’ve just met someone new. You might experience a full gamut of emotions because you love your independence and that rather special lifestyle, but if you deepen your blossoming relationship, you realise compromises will have to be made down the track.

In March, your usually good communications skills will be subpar, especially when in discussion with your partner. If you’re making plans, realise that before 25 March it will be difficult to finalise them because you may be talking at cross purposes.

Just take some breathing space before making decisions.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

It’s an ideal time to go with the flow, especially with any suggestions put to you involving your personal or business interests. If you’re in the mood to take a risk, listen to your intuition as it’s particularly in tune at the moment. The result: fun and

In March, keep most of your inspired ideas to yourself for a while rather than confiding all of them in someone else. The coming month is one of agreement, harmony and love, offering opportunities for happy moments spent with the people you love most.

The planets suggest it is an ideal time to think more about travel – not only rewarding trips to countries or places you’ve not visited before, but journeys of an intellectual kind. Such journeys could put you in touch with new and fascinating interests.

My favourite things HARDWARE STORES Honestly there’s nowhere I’d rather spend a weekend. Catch me in the garden section putting annuals in my basket then taking them out again and saying things like “is this one too leggy?”

MY CAT Okay, technically not MY cat - she belongs to my housemate - but she’s a sassy a**hole/ loveable sweetheart. The cat that is. Although I could say the same about my housemate.

ZOOPER DOOPERS Come summer and I’m smashing a pack a day. Don’t care what brand, don’t care what flavour, I just care that the edges have been trimmed off the top so I don’t get those little cuts in the corners of my mouth.

Sally Coleman

MY FAMILY We all live in different cities now but you can’t beat the banter in my house when everyone is home, sitting around the table and one-upping each other on spicy comebacks. My parents have always been super supportive of whatever I’m doing, while my siblings make sure my head doesn’t get too big.

Host, Triple J Breakfast

Born and raised in Canberra, Sally Coleman is one half of rap duo Coda Conduct and a radio presenter at Triple J. She and fellow Canberran Erica Mallett have recently taken over as Triple J’s new Breakfast team. “We both got into radio really organically,” says Sally, “it really just stemmed from a love of music. To be honest, I did a radio subject at uni and I hated it, so I completely wrote that off as a career.

But despite the false start I’m loving the new job on Brekkie!”

She says she loved growing up in Canberra. “It’s the perfect balance of city and country, with heaps of space for a kid to ride a bike and play street cricket. In our street we doubled up and called it bike cricket.” Catch Sally and Erica on air 6-9am weekdays on Triple J. 130

SPECULATIVE FICTION I’m talking fantasy, science fiction and everything in between. I’ve been ploughing through Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse books recently, and I was a big fan of Broken Stars which is a compilation of Chinese science fiction translated by Ken Liu. I love how these genres can be simultaneously fun and cheeky but also really thought-provoking.
