This week...

What’s up with the runs on toilet paper, Australia? Are panic buyers protecting themselves from coronavirus by wrapping up like mummies in the flimsy stuff? Or building makeshift fortresses from bulk packs? Get a grip. A forlorn but friendly pensioner at our local supermarket on Monday was lamenting that she just wanted to buy her usual four-pack but the loo paper shelves had been wiped clean. She was confident that with well-considered rationing and using public conveniences where possible, her meagre reserves would get her through to next pension day. Perhaps our collective nervous systems are frayed after the recent summer from hell. And while we must be alert to the threat of coronavirus, let’s also remain rational and decent. As we saw in the recent bushfire crisis, the Aussie way of banding together in a crisis rather than “every man for himself” might just help to see us through. Reasons to be grateful this past week include lovely soaking rains, the UC Capitals winning a nail-biting clean sweep of the WNBL grand final series at a packed AIS Arena last Wednesday night, the media launch of 2020 Canberra Wine Week at QT Canberra on Thursday night followed up with wine tasting events at New Acton on a Goldilocks Saturday afternoon, Sunday brunch with old friends and an impromptu Monday night dinner party with new friends. - Julie Samaras

news Awards celebrate female achievement Actively supporting a network of women change-makers, entrepreneurs and start-ups, Cindy Mitchell was acknowledged for her contributions as the 2020 ACT Woman of the Year. The founder of Mill House Ventures, the Canberra region’s first dedicated social enterprise business development consultancy, Ms Mitchell empowers women to take control of their future and economic participation, by actively educating them to embrace entrepreneurship and strive for a voice in the business sector. The ACT Women of the Year Awards are held around International Women’s Day each year and acknowledge the outstanding contributions of ACT women who have improved the status of women and girls in the region. The awards also celebrated the achievements of Dr Helen Watchirs, who was named 2020 ACT Senior Woman of the Year, and Shiralee Sankey, 2020 ACT Young Woman of the Year. Dr Watchirs was acknowledged as a strong and practical advocate for the human rights of people experiencing disadvantage, while her “systemic advocacy has influenced ACT Government reforms on gender diversity, mental health, racial and religious vilification, sex work, antiterrorism and intimate image abuse”. Recognised as a highly effective advocate, leader and mentor for

young people, Ms Sankey is involved in ensuring community facilities and organisations meet the needs of young people. Two special commendation awards were also presented, awarded to ESA Commissioner Georgeina Whelan for her effort during the recent bushfire season, and the UC Capitals women’s basketball team. Thirty-five women were inducted onto the ACT Women’s Honour Roll. Across the border, Queanbeyan’s Nichole Overall was announced as Monaro’s Woman of the Year for 2020, acknowledged for her community work including involvement with Meals on Wheels, Headspace, patron of Molonglo Support Services, the women’s program at the Monaro Panthers Football Club and as the first female chair of St Edmund’s College Canberra. The ACT Government also launched the Equity Together: Second Action Plan 2020-2022, the second stage of the ACT Women’s Plan 2016-2026, which will guide the government’s focus to improve opportunities for women and girls in the ACT over the next three years. Focus areas of the second action plan include: improving the mental health and wellbeing of women and girls in the ACT; fostering gender equity in Canberra workplaces; building a community where women and girls are safe and supported to

Canberra Airport plans for the future The Canberra Airport has flagged the Pacific Islands as a target market for future international services from Canberra as part of their 2020 Master Plan, with direct flights to the Americas also a long-term possibility. The Plan’s indicative timeframe for target international markets suggests future services within eight years could include Auckland, China, Vanuatu and Wellington while within 20 years we could see flights to Bali, 10

Bangkok, Christchurch, Dubai, Fiji, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo. Michael Thomson, Head of Aviation at Canberra Airport, said within the next five to eight years, Canberra Airport will be working to bring in more international and low-cost carriers, resulting in more passengers than ever before. “The airport currently serves more than three million passengers

per year, but those numbers are forecast to rise to more than nine million by 2040 if all goes to plan. Canberra Airport’s ethos is to invest early to provide room for growth.” The 2020 Canberra Airport Master Plan sets out a 20-year strategic vision for the airport. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Michael McCormack, said the Plan paved the

way for better infrastructure and expanded capacity. “The airport and these developments are expected to indirectly support more than 37,000 jobs and generate $6.8 billion in economic activity by 2028,” Mr McCormack said. The 2020 Master Plan has been approved by the Federal Government. It remains in force for eight years or until a new Master Plan is approved.

capital hill What about the workers? he coronavirus is showing up more than vulnerabilities in people’s immune systems. It is also showing inadequacies in the way millions of Australians are paid. The so-called gig economy, taking in casuals, permanent casuals and even contract workers, has a problem not so much with the rate of pay when they are working but what happens when they can’t work. Giving some urgency to the discussion is the medical advice that those either with the virus or merely having been exposed to it, self-isolate. Sounds wise, but 3.3 million workers only get paid when they turn up to work and even though under federal awards their base pay is higher than permanent workers, it is by no means high enough to enable them to stay home for 14 days. Sure, their higher base pay, presuming their

employer pays it, is supposed to cover holiday and sick leave, but generally as low-income workers they spend it on rent, food and other necessities. Already there are reports of a casual bar tender in Tasmania going back to work while he waited for the result of his coronavirus test. Compounding the problem is the virus more commonly has mild symptoms, runny nose and the like, that as we saw in Melbourne one doctor dismissed as nothing more than a cold. In the meantime, he had treated 70 patients including a couple in a nursing home. While the Toorak doctor no doubt could afford to take time off, other health workers like cleaners and orderlies on casual shifts cannot. At the time of writing, the government has not unveiled its package of measures to deal with the

health crisis that is already rapidly becoming an economic emergency. And apart from whatever is announced, the government has spent nearly half a million dollars in Federal and High Court challenges to a ruling last year that gave casual workers at Cadbury’s chocolate factory an increase in their number of sick days. If the Morrison Government’s opposition to more generous national employment standards is a guide, it will be reluctant to be too generous now. Maybe we should forget the word “generous” and replace it with “adequate”. We shall see. But as the ACTU’s Sally McManus pointed out in a letter to the Prime Minister last week, there is a health risk as well as an economic risk in not making it feasible for affected workers to stay home and not spread the disease further.

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

While the Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, according to government sources, has abandoned any hope of delivering his promised Budget surplus, he now has a new challenge: avoid a debilitating recession. On Monday Frydenberg said Australians can be assured we are “as well prepared as any other nation in dealing with the coronavirus”. No one will be more anxious to see what that means for them than those already struggling in the gig economy when they get work, let alone when they can’t or they are prevented from turning up.

news New UNSW Campus in the city A new campus of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will be built near the Canberra CBD on the site of the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) Reid campus, ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has announced. Mr Barr said the new UNSW campus in Reid would be home to a “world-class research, education and innovation campus”. The ACT Government will provide the site, approximately eight hectares of land, as well as an investment of $25 million towards the project and the cost of remediating the site for UNSW. Once complete, the campus is expected to be used by around 6,000 students and 2,000 staff.

UNSW President and Vice-Chancellor Ian Jacobs said the new campus will “strengthen Canberra’s reputation as a knowledge and innovation hub” and “boost the city’s economy and employment”. “UNSW has a 50-year history of delivering outstanding education and research in Canberra. This new campus will enable us to take the scale and quality of our involvement in Canberra to a new level. It is an exciting time for UNSW and for the national capital, as its tertiary education credentials are further enhanced,” Professor Jacobs said. Mr Barr said the campus would play a “major role” in the renewal of Canberra’s city centre, and would provide a “long-term economic boost” to Canberrans. It was announced last year that a new CIT campus would be built in the Woden Town Centre, expected to be operational in the mid-2020s. The CIT Reid campus is expected to be operational until the new Woden campus is built, with CIT to maintain a “continued presence” in the CBD. UNSW is expected to undertake consultation with stakeholders and the community to help inform the master plan for the new campus.

Award success for Canberra tourism The National Convention Centre Canberra hosted the 2019 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards on Friday 6 March, which saw 76 awards presented across 26 categories. Now into its 36th year, the awards recognise quality and excellence in tourism experiences across several categories, including cultural tourism, ecotourism, restaurants and wineries, accommodation and festivals.

news Perinatal Wellbeing Centre continues vital support A local provider of perinatal mental health support for 30 years, PANDSI recently changed their name to the Perinatal Wellbeing Centre to better reflect the vital work they do. The announcement was made on 1 October last year to coincide with the first day of mental health month and marked an exciting new chapter for the organisation. Perinatal Wellbeing Centre CEO Dr Yvonne Luxford said the change has been welcomed by former and current clients and was an acknowledgment the organisation has grown up. “We turned 30 … we’ve changed a lot of what we offer. It is extremely professional, highly evidence-based care and support.” Perinatal Wellbeing Centre offers support, education and guidance to new parents experiencing mental health issues including women, men and parents from Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Dr Luxford said the support services are partly “about helping with what they [parents] are going

through, but also providing tools and strategies in everyday life to help them cope and [continue] on the pathway to wellness”. Some of the services provided by the Centre include telephone counselling, group support services, weekly playgroups for clients, physical activities and more. They also run workshops on self-care and re-connecting (for couples) and “we are looking at running some antenatal workshops as well”. While the organisation receives support from the ACT Government, Dr Luxford said fundraising is “essential to us to provide our services”. A major fundraising event for the Perinatal Wellbeing Centre is Cake Off, which this year has the theme of ‘Decades of Cake’. “We could not continue to provide the services without the funds we get from Cake Off,” Dr Luxford said. Moreover, there is a growing interest in their offerings. “In the past 12 months we have had a 24% growth in clients,” she said. “We were already at

Cancer Council ACT advertising moment

Students step up to fight cancer Year 12 students at St Mary MacKillop College are stepping up to the challenge for this year’s Relay for Life in Canberra on 28-29 March, with about 200 students expected to take part. The school, which has a longterm relationship with the event, traditionally attracts about 150 participants from the Year 12 students. Last year’s team raised $28,000 for Cancer Council ACT through the relay, which had particular meaning for them, with one of their own having just gone into remission before the event. Because last year was such a special circumstance, Year 12 co-ordinator Braden Longo has said to the students, “this year, participation is what we are going to focus on and challenging

them to raise individually”. Mr Longo said the school’s involvement in the event is driven by the students and it provides a great opportunity for them to give back. “We are a Catholic school for everyone and I guess the students and community understand that cancer doesn’t discriminate,” he said. An added bonus is the camaraderie it engenders in the students who participate. “The event for the cohort really brings them together,” Mr Longo said. “They are a lot tighter knit group after the event.” CEO of Cancer Council ACT Sandra Turner said Relay for Life is a chance for all of the Canberra community to recognise and celebrate cancer survivors and their

Early intervention reaps rewards

Profoundly deaf in both ears, young Canberra girl Amira, pictured with her sister Anna and parents Jeremy and Sarah, has benefited from cochlear implants and early intervention sessions at The Shepherd Centre. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

New research has confirmed a long-term cost benefit of up to $500,000 per child with hearing loss, when supported by early intervention services. According to First Voice’s latest Sound Outcomes Report, early intervention programs provided an average benefit of $497,000 for each child with bilateral hearing loss in the 2018 financial year. Benefits include long- and short-term wellbeing, education, financial and economic gains. The study also revealed that children supported by early intervention develop listening and speaking skills on par with or above that of their hearing peers. Twenty-month-old Amira is an example of this, having developed strong spoken language skills through sessions at The Shepherd Centre (a First Voice organisation). Amira’s parents Sarah and Jeremy discovered their daughter’s hearing loss shortly after birth and, at six weeks of age, she was diagnosed as profoundly deaf in both ears. “Going through that experience we weren’t sure how much she could hear so we just talked

to her as much as normal,” Jeremy recalled. At seven months of age, Amira was fitted with bilateral cochlear implants and began early intervention sessions at The Shepherd Centre. “That period was quite stressful,” Sarah said. “We were really hoping that there would be a positive outcome because otherwise we would have to go down the sign language route … we want her (Amira) to be able to have as many opportunities in life as Anna (Amira’s older sister) has.” Sarah said the sessions at The Shepherd Centre don’t just teach Amira to speak “but to listen”. “Amira is already speaking above her age group peers and listening on par with her hearing peers,” Sarah said, acknowledging her younger daughter “will always find it hard in a noisy atmosphere”. The couple say Amira is on track to attend mainstream school, although “maybe not one with open plan”. And much further down the track, they are confident she will be able to have a job and be self-sufficient. - Allison Turnbull

Public Trustee for the ACT advertising moment

2020 Seniors Week forums The ACT’s Seniors Week, 23-27 March, is an opportunity to promote positive community attitudes towards older people and ageing. The Public Trustee and Guardian (PTG) has been a proud and continued supporter of Seniors Week. Importantly, PTG is only too aware of the importance of having an upto-date Will and Enduring Power of Attorney. A Will is essential to protect your interests in the event of your death. During Seniors Week, PTG will hold two free seminars on the importance of having a valid and up-to-date Will and Enduring Power of Attorney. Bookings essential.

Complimentary Will Date: Tuesday 24 March Time: 9.30am-12pm Venue: Dickson Tradesman Union Club (The Tradies) Address: 2 Badham Street, Dickson Date: Wednesday 25 March Time: 6pm-8pm Venue: Town Centre Vikings Address: Cnr Athllon Drive & Rowland Rees Crescent, Greenway PTG will also have a stall (site 16) at the Seniors Expo at EPIC on Thursday 26 March 10am-3pm.

To demonstrate our commitment to seniors, PTG provides a complimentary Will to all persons aged 60 years and over in our community. PTG will also provide a complimentary Will voucher to all persons attending the seminars. A condition is that you appoint PTG as primary executor or as secondary executor to your spouse/partner. Seniors Week is an excellent time to consider your Will. A failure to have a valid and up-to-date Will can result in extra cost and potentially undesirable or unforeseen outcomes upon your death. Your Will should be reviewed in the event of a change of circumstances such as marriage, a birth or divorce.

Marriage revokes an existing Will unless the Will was made in contemplation of the marriage. In the case of divorce, the divorced spouse or civil partner will be treated as though they had predeceased the person making the Will and will not participate as beneficiary or executor. Your Will should appoint a person (executor) to administer the Will, to collect and deal with assets, to pay debts and to account to your beneficiaries in keeping with your instructions. An executor should be chosen carefully. For more information, to make an appointment or to attend a forum, contact the Public Trustee and Guardian on 6207 9800 or email ptg_marketing@act.gov.au

Secure tomorrow. Act today, make a Will. The Public Trustee and Guardian will present two Forums during Seniors Week on the importance of having a valid and up-to-date Will and Enduring Power of Attorney. Tuesday 24th March 2020 9:30am – 12:00pm Dickson Tradesman Union Club, Dickson

news Traffic focus: vulnerable road users

CHRISTINE SHAW URGES WOMEN TO ‘JUMP!’ Growing up in Queensland in the 1960s, there was nothing strange when the Year 10 careers night at my all-girls school offered six options: secretary, nurse, teacher, cook, nun and nanny. University was for the “very smart ones” – code for “not me”. I took a jump in 1984: a bank manager told 22-year-old me I didn’t need to buy an apartment until I found a husband … so Mum went guarantor. I took a jump in 1985: I was the first female at Brisbane City Council to cross over from the secretarial stream to the almost exclusively male clerical stream. I took a jump in 1987, leaving local government after nine years, and again in 1989: leaving Brisbane for Canberra, marriage and children. I took a jump in 1992, into the public service doing overseas aid projects, human resources and refugee work. I took a jump in 2008: I left the security of a 16-year federal government career at 46. I always loved real estate, reading the Saturday real estate section like a form guide. I found a career that wasn’t academic, it was intuitive – it didn’t rely on formal education; it was relationship-based. I took a jump in 2011: despite the end of a marriage and a forecast that said I would always be renting, I continued to build on my successes. I took a jump in 2018, putting together all my knowledge of community organisations and social enterprises to develop a new model and opened my business: what I believe is Australia’s only social impact model of a real estate agency. I’m the only agency (other than community housing or publicly listed real estate companies) revealing my profits every year and giving 10% of those profits to local homelessness initiatives, in partnership with Hands Across Canberra. Separately, $400 of each DHA investment sale goes to Soldier On. Decades have changed everything - and today my daughter is never told there are only six “boxes” to fit into and bank managers don’t tell her to “find a husband”. So, to all the females out there: jump! Even if it immobilises you with fear, back yourself. Nothing is impossible now for me or my daughter. It took me until I was 49 to believe in myself and to learn that men in suits aren’t always right … and I’ve still got a few decades left in me! - Christine Shaw

ACT Policing is targeting driver behaviour risking the safety of vulnerable road users as part of its traffic focus for March. Children, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists are all considered vulnerable road users, as they do not have the same protection as a

car during a collision. Police are also actively targeting the safe passing of cyclists, with vehicles required to remain a minimum of one metre away from a cyclist in speed zones at or below 60km/h, and one and a half metres in speed zones above 60km/h.

Volunteer support payments ACT Rural Fire Service (RFS) and State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers will be able to claim financial support for loss of income during the recent bushfire season. “These support payments will help ensure volunteers who are self-employed or working for small businesses are not left significantly out of pocket,” said ACT Emergency Services Minister, Mick Gentleman. “We estimate around 200 applicants across the ACTRFS

and ACTSES will qualify for payments of up to $6,000. The Federal Government has agreed to apply the same NSW eligibility criteria to ACT volunteers.” The financial support program is funded by the Federal Government, and volunteers will be notified about how to make an application through the ESA website and internal communication channels. Payments will cover the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.

Million dollar milestone The Green Shed recently celebrated reaching over $1 million in financial donations to the Canberra community since opening their doors in January 2010. The Green Shed holds a Charity Day at both Mugga and Mitchell sheds on the last Wednesday of each month, where 100% of all proceeds

are collected until they reach $10,000. This is donated to a chosen charity – the most recent recipient being Alpaca Therapy – before they start collecting for the next charity on their list. The donation milestone was celebrated on Thursday 5 March with a cheque presentation to Alpaca Therapy and a cake cutting.

news New international research has found a worrying change in the Indian Ocean’s surface temperatures that puts south-east Australia on course for increasingly hot and dry conditions. The work led by the Australian National University (ANU) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes has a silver lining, helping to improve our understanding of climate variations and the management of risk caused by Indian Ocean variability. Lead researcher Professor Nerilie Abram said the phenomenon her team studied, known as the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), was a big player in the severe drought and record hot temperatures last year. The new research published in Nature reveals that these historically rare events have become much more frequent and intense during the 20th Century, and this situation is expected to worsen if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. According to Bureau of Meteorology climatologist Dr Andrew Watkins, a very strong positive IOD and a near-record negative Southern Annular Mode resulted in both the warmest and driest December on record. “In January we saw those two drivers return to neutral levels,

Hot, dry conditions could worsen

Welcome rain has been recorded on five of the first nine days of March in the ACT.

plus a very late arrival of the northern monsoon which finally brought tropical moisture to the continent,” Dr Watkins said. “As we often see once the monsoon arrives in the north, some of that tropical moisture was dragged south, leading to some of the good recent rainfall over the country’s east.” The outlook for autumn shows both daytime and overnight temperatures are likely to be above average for most of the country. Dr Watkins said many areas were showing no strong push towards wetter or drier than average conditions in the coming months. However, parts of southern and south-eastern Australia are showing a slightly increased chance of above average rainfall in the coming three months, particularly in March. The ACT has already benefitted from some welcome rain with five days recording falls this month, as at Monday 9 March.

Houses donated to bushfire communities Operation Hope and Dignity, a charity project working to help fire-ravaged communities, has seen its first donation to a family in Cobargo, NSW: a house. The project’s first home to be delivered was custom-built in seven days by AJC Portables in Queanbeyan, is engineer-certified and regulation-compliant and has 24

been presented to a local family who have 13 children (biological, adopted and foster) in their care. Operation Hope and Dignity is being delivered by volunteers and businesses, as well as not-forprofit Picking up the Peaces and Convoy Missions Australia, and aims to deliver over 1,000 homes to fire-affected families quickly.

ANU Law advertising moment

The Idea of the University – Crisis or Adaptation? For centuries, universities have advanced change in the public interest. Can they remain relevant in an era of fake news, anti-politics, and rising contempt for real expertise?

hat are the challenges facing students, academics, and the higher education sector today? What will the university of the future look like? The Australian National University (ANU) presents ‘The Idea of the University – Crisis or Adaptation’ on Tuesday 17 March at the National Library of Australia. This free event brings together a panel of experts who will engage in a provocative discussion about the challenges facing universities and their role today. “We hope to have a frank discussion about the problems for universities and

their role in the public sphere. It will be a hard conversation about where we are struggling and where our relevance seems to be subsiding,” says Desmond Manderson, an ANU law and humanities professor and panellist at the event. Some questions the audience can expect are: Are corporations and universities on a collision course? Do the economic and technological opportunities change how education is delivered? If university administrators are worried about their business model, what effect does this have on research? The past summer’s devastating bushfire season has also brought into sharp focus a vital question for

academics and students at an individual level: Is university really the best place for me? The discussion is also an opportunity to facilitate “blue-sky thinking” about the best ways to reinvigorate universities, says Professor Manderson. “The 21st century will be the century of profound adaptation. We need to start talking about how we are going to be agents for change and understanding in this extremely dislocated time,” he says. This event is part of a yearlong program of 60th anniversary celebrations for ANU College of Law. View the full program online at: law.anu.edu.au/sixtyyears

sport Raiders back in action The Canberra Raiders kick off their 2020 NRL Season on Friday 13 March 6pm with a home game against the Gold Coast Titans. The Raiders come into the season having played one pre-season match; a 12-10 victory over the CanterburyBankstown Bulldogs on Saturday 29 February. Ryan Sutton was charged by the NRL Judiciary for a grade one shoulder charge in the match and took the early plea, which sees him miss the opening match of the season. Forward John Bateman will also miss the opening rounds of the 2020 NRL season following shoulder surgery. He is expected to

be available for selection in round 7-8, while Hudson Young still has five matches remaining on his 2019 suspension and is expected to return in round 6. In other news, the Raiders have inducted four more players into the club’s Hall of Fame: Craig Bellamy, Phil Carey, Paul Martin and Matthew Wood; while the Huawei Raiders Centre in Braddon is also officially open. The $19 million facility, which is a collaborative project of the ACT and NSW governments and Canberra District Rugby League, features elite level training and rehabilitation spaces, administrative offices and community rooms.

Spicy broccoli pakora

Easy entertaining Wow any guests with these easy and delicious pre-dinner snacks, brought to you by our food writer Libby Kimber. It’s also Coeliac Awareness Week (13-20 March), so we made sure these dishes can be served up to your gluten-free friends, too.

Homemade potato chips Image and text from The Smoke Shop's Backyard BBQ by Andy Husbands and William Salazar, photography by Ken Goodman. Fair Winds Press, RRP $39.99. Serves: 10-12 1.8kg russet potatoes ¼ cup (60ml) white vinegar About 12 cups (2.8L) vegetable oil 1 batch ranch dust (optional)

The Fast Low-Carb Kickstart Plan by Luke Hines, published by Plum, RRP $26.99, photography by Mark Roper. Serves: 4 1 head of broccoli, cut into very small florets 125ml (½ cup) coconut oil Sea salt Spicy batter 3 Tbsp coconut flour, plus extra if necessary 2 Tbsp arrowroot or tapioca flour 1 tsp chilli powder

Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. (For best results, use a mandoline to slice the potatoes into 2mm pieces.) Rinse the sliced potatoes in batches until the starch is removed and the water runs clear. Place all the potatoes in a large bowl and cover with water. Add the vinegar and set aside until you are ready to fry, up to 1 hour. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of a deep heavy-bottomed pan. Pour the oil in to a depth of 7.5cm and place the pan over medium-high heat. (You want to try to maintain this temperature.) Drain the potatoes and pat very dry. When the oil reaches 170°C to 180°C, fry the potatoes in batches. Use a slotted spoon to gently move the potato chips around. Flip the chips after 2 to 3 minutes. The chips are done when they are evenly deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the chips to a paper towel–lined sheet pan to drain and toss with the ranch dust, if using. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Ranch dust ¾ cup (90g) dry buttermilk powder

1 Tbsp (7g) onion power

3 Tbsp (4g) dried parsley

1 Tbsp (5g) onion flakes

1 Tbsp dried chives

2 tsp kosher salt

1 Tbsp, plus 2 tsp (5g) dried dill

1½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1 Tbsp (9g) garlic powder

1 tsp chili powder

1 Tbsp (10g) garlic flakes

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container for up to several months.

1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground turmeric Generous pinch of sea salt 250ml (1 cup) filtered water To make the batter, place the flours, spices and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Pour over the water, whisking all the while to avoid lumps, to form a smooth, thick batter. (If the batter is looking too thin, add a little extra coconut flour.) Add the broccoli florets to the batter and coat well using your hands. Melt the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium–high heat until nice and hot. To see if the oil is hot enough, add a small battered floret as a test – if it sizzles straight away, you’re good to go! Fry the battered florets in small batches for 4–5 minutes, until nicely browned, lowering them into the hot oil one at a time, spacing them out and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Remove the cooked pakora with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towel to drain, then repeat with the remaining florets. (Don’t freak out if some of the batter sticks to the pan or comes off – this is normal.) Serve warm with a generous pinch or two of salt.

Australian-born Monty Mou now tours the world with Shen Yun, performing gravitydefying leaps and telling stories through dance from China’s ancient civilisation.

cover story

Leap of faith: meet Shen Yun principal dancer Monty Mou The New York–based classical Chinese dance company, Shen Yun Performing Arts returns to Canberra on 24-25 March. Principal dancer, Australian-born Monty Mou granted this interview ahead of Shen Yun’s national leg of their 2020 global tour. Dance wasn’t always at the top of Monty Mou’s agenda in his early days as a young Sydneysider. In fact, it was his mother who encouraged him to study the basics of classical Chinese dance in Taiwan from a young age. Nearly half a lifetime later, Mou now tours the world as a principal

dancer with Shen Yun Performing Arts. For almost six months each year, he tours the world performing gravitydefying leaps, depicting scholars and soldiers from ancient dynasties, and telling stories through dance from China’s 5,000-year-old civilisation. Having just touched down in

Sydney from New Zealand as part of Shen Yun’s 2020 global tour, he’s back gracing Australian stages for his third time since joining the company. Born and raised in Sydney, Mou says he always loved living in Australia. “I’m extremely happy to be back … and it’s an absolute honour to be performing with Shen Yun here,” he says. As one of Shen Yun’s Australian talents, Mou was born in Sydney to parents of Cantonese descent. He began his classical Chinese dance training in Taiwan and pursued advanced studies at Fei Tian Academy of the Arts and Fei Tian College in New York. Mou won second place in New Tang Dynasty Television’s International Classical Chinese Dance Competition in both 2014 (junior division) and 2016 (adult division). Before performances, Mou believes that an important part of warming up is a good self pep talk (while disregarding odd glances from bystanders). After the show, he likes to calm down by reflecting on the hits and misses of his day. “My confession is that I was never interested in becoming a lead dancer. I must admit, though, that the prospect of it was exciting, especially when my curiosity was triggered – what was it like, where did one possibly begin, was it even worth it?” Mou says. “But honestly, a principal dancer is not that different from those who dance right next to him; the only difference is that you act the lead role. You may have to be more skilled than the average dancer, but if you consider the likelihood that all your fellow

performers are also giving it their best efforts, then you have quite a different perspective. “In reality, a lead dancer can be replaced; he is only an individual. But the dance company I am in, Shen Yun Performing Arts, is a culmination of many people working together toward one final goal: a show that can celebrate universal values and a brilliant culture around the world. To me, it doesn’t matter what character I play when everybody is committed to similar ideals and we are all working toward a common purpose. “For some dances, I’m always in the front, in the limelight, if you will. For other dances, I may be on the side or in the back row, or I’ll be executing one of the classical Chinese dance tumbling, spinning or jumping techniques that you see throughout our show. What I’m trying to say is that in the end, I really cherish being a member of Shen Yun, lead dancer or not,” he says. “If you asked me what I enjoyed the most about dancing, I’d say it’s the part where everyone works together to achieve something bigger than themselves. For example, I love the massive weekly rehearsals we’ve been having with our orchestra recently – the arduous process of great effort and sacrifice is what makes the success of something like Shen Yun so unbelievably fulfilling,” Mou says. Monty Mou is performing in Australia as part of Shen Yun’s 2020 global tour. Shen Yun returns to Canberra Theatre on 24–25 March with an all-new production. Tickets at: canberratheatrecentre.com.au

Now showing The Invisible Man (MA15+) Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) finally escapes her abusive, but genius optics scientist, partner Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Soon however, Adrian winds up seemingly dead by suicide, and Cecilia is provided $5 million in his will, before strange things start a-happening. In 2016, Universal Studios was to take a leaf from Marvel Films and start their own shared universe franchise utilising their classic monsters’ rogues gallery. The Invisible Man was to be a blockbuster with Johnny Depp starring. Tom Cruise’s The Mummy, however, sank the proposed franchise sending the Universal monsters back to their respective graves from whence they came. Based on the HG Wells’ gothic/ science-fiction novel and influenced by the 1930s original, this movie is a standalone, low-budget, high-

concept reattempt. This time, however, the focus is shifted onto the titular character’s ex-partner and the trauma she suffers from their abusive relationship. Echoes of 1940’s Gaslight lay throughout as Cecilia questions her own reality and sanity in her vulnerable state, thanks to the ongoing mindgames to which her unstoppable, malignant, narcissistic ex continues to subject her. Australian Leigh Whannell takes this gothic science-fiction literature and reinterprets it as a metaphor for the psychological warfare abusers subject their victims to. Less concentrating on the scientific achievements like 2000’s Hollowman, the conceit is similar: what is a man capable of when he no longer has to see his own reflection? The difference being Adrian was a monster long before becoming invisible. Verdict: A fantastic, and unfortunately timely, reinterpretation of a classic. 4 stars. - Luke McWilliams

Take 5: Iva Davies Iva Davies is a bona fide Australian rock legend. Over his decorated career, he’s fronted Icehouse for more than 40 years, leading the band to an amazing 28 platinum albums, eight Top 10 albums and over 30 Top 40 singles. Icehouse will play Anthems festival on 28 March at Commonwealth Park, Canberra; anthemsfest.com.au To show their gratitude for the work of the emergency services this summer, Anthems are offering all local and interstate firefighters, registered volunteers and associated emergency workers free entry.

So many of your Icehouse hits appeal across generations. What do you put that down to? It was so unlikely that I’d ever be a songwriter. We first became very popular as a cover band, then it started to become serious, someone had to write some songs, and that became me. The songs we covered were absolute classics, I was painfully aware that when I started writing my own songs I was setting myself that

benchmark. We got signed and once that wheel started rolling, it didn’t stop for 16 years. The last thing on my mind when I was trying to fill the quota was whether our music will still be appealing in 40 years’ time.

What’s it like for you now to play before an audience and see people of all ages singing along? Especially something like this environment with a family-friendly audience, its extraordinary, generally if they’re smaller children, you know the music has travelled through that family. In my relationship with my children, who are young adults now, they reflect what I played them when I was growing up. A pivotal album in my life was Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, and I know that would still be one of my son’s favourite albums.

What do you think makes a great rock anthem? What is incredibly gratifying is hearing a song that has great lyrical power and musical power,

You’ve also scored movies and dance productions. How is that process different to your band work? One thing that happened by accident is I ended up acquiring a very serious classical music education. Growing up I was destined to be a classical musician playing the oboe. Had things gone a different way, I would have almost inevitably been a professional classical musician. I’m an ambassador for the idea that a great education is incredibly powerful; it’s been the single most useful thing I’ve had.

What’s the most off-thebeaten-track gig you’ve ever played in your career? When we did the Man of Colours tour in the US, we had two Top 20 hits in the charts at the time, we were doing very well, but we did a strange tour that led us into some quite odd places. We played a water theme park in Orlando, Florida where the stage was set up to face a massive wave pool with the audience to the right. The most disconcerting thing was having this wave pool in front of us with a lot of people bobbing in these tyres, and every five minutes or so we had this loud alarm go off, and a huge wave set would start.

Steve Cavanagh is one of the world’s most entertaining crime fiction authors. His books usually centre on Eddie Flynn, a charismatic, ex-con artist turned New York defence lawyer, who enjoys winning. His latest revolves around an interesting premise. Two sisters, frantically and separately, ring 911 claiming that the other one has brutally killed their father, wealthy former New York Mayor Frank Avellino. Who is telling the truth? Eddie Flynn thinks it is his client, Sofia, but he may be wrong. As the joint trial of the two sisters unfolds, the truth gradually comes out. Twisty, clever and a whole lot of fun!

Coronavirus: prevention and resilience What are the symptoms? Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms are similar to the flu: fever, cough, sore throat and fatigue as well shortness of breath. If you develop any of these symptoms, you should call your GP or hospital and arrange a time to visit to be tested. It can take up to 14 days for symptoms to develop after being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19. At the time of writing there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the ACT, however, over the border in NSW there are more than 50 confirmed cases so it’s highly probable that we will see local cases emerge. In the ACT, almost 200 people have been tested and cleared for coronavirus. Once the winter flu season kicks in, there may be many more of us being tested to determine whether we have the flu or indeed coronavirus.

According to the WHO website, best practice is to: • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue (or your elbow) then throw the tissue in the bin. Additionally: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Wearing a face mask is not advised unless you are sick yourself.

Immune boosting There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. However, there are ways to optimise your immune system so that if you are exposed, you’re in the best condition to recover.

Consider consulting with your integrative GP, naturopath or herbalist about which antiviral herbs would be appropriate for you. Herbs including andrographis, elder and thyme are all potentially helpful. Similarly, adequate vitamin D and zinc levels are important to consider in the context of your overall health picture, in consultation with a health professional.

Resilience Tracking well ahead of actual cases of coronavirus is the widespread level of panic, evidenced by empty toilet paper aisles in supermarkets. Coming on the back of the bushfires, smoke haze and hailstorm, our resilience has already been tested in 2020. To counter the panic, stay informed and aware of the actual risks, which are currently low. It’s important to get your information from credible sources (e.g. health. gov.au or health.act.gov.au) and switch off from media that is sensationalist or fear mongering. It’s normal to worry about things we can’t control, so if you find yourself worrying try a basic mindfulness technique and accept that it is okay to be worried and then move on by bringing your awareness to something that’s happening in the present moment. If you need support, don’t hesitate to reach out and seek help. Editor’s note: Our rotating wellbeing and fitness columns provide advice that is general in nature. Please always refer to your preferred health professional for advice suited to your personal healthcare requirements.

Foliage and stems of bush food delight, cut-leaf mint bush (Prostanthera incisa), being hung in a dark airy place to dry.

On the native plant use trail: Cut-leaf mint bush Cut-leaf mint bush (Prostanthera incisa) is one of the most aromatic herbs you will ever draw breath on. It has distinct elements of mint, rosemary, lavender and thyme! This Australian native from sheltered areas of Central Tablelands and coastal areas of NSW is one of at least three edible species of mint bush; P. rotundifolia and P. ovalifolia are two others I am familiar with. Cut-leaf mint bush is a fastgrowing perennial shrub with a moderate lifespan. It grows to approximately 2m high and 1m wide. It is a showstopper during spring when it becomes absolutely covered in vibrant purple flowers. Beneficial insects come from afar to help celebrate the event. The pleasant aromatic foliage makes

cut-leaf mint bush useful as a companion plant. This lovely shrub grows in partly shaded positions and requires reliable watering in hot dry weather. It is cold tolerant to -5oC. Soils need to be slightly acid and have at least reasonable drainage, as they are prone to root rot. Cut-leaf mint bush also grows well in a pot. Give it an annual prune after flowering, as well as a harder prune on occasions for rejuvenation purposes. The foliage, flowers and stem of cut-leaf mint bush are all edible and can be used fresh or dried. Avoid storing it for extended periods, however, as herbs lose their potency over time. Cut-leaf mint bush is an intensely flavoured herb so use it sparingly. It is particularly complementary to meat and tomato dishes, as well as being popular as a tea. Celebrity Indigenous chef Mark Olive says to let herbs ‘swell’ from the moisture in cooking to achieve maximum flavour. Traditionally, cut-leaf mint bush has a strong history as a medicinal plant. Cut-leaf mint bush is easily

propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. Collect flower-free bendy but not-snappy material first thing in the morning. Cut it into 5cm lengths, just below a leaf node. The base of the cutting can be cut on an angle or gently scratched, to expose the cambium layer and assist with the formation of roots. Gently remove two-thirds of the lower foliage. Dipping the cuttings in a hormone gel or raw honey may assist with root formation. Using a dibbler stick, insert two leaf nodes of the cutting below the surface of the planting media. It’s important to use a good quality propagation mix with excellent aeration. House your cuttings in a humid environment and maintain moisture. Aim for a 20 oC soil temperature and a 25oC air temperature. To check for readiness after at least three weeks, pull gently on the cutting (aka the ‘tug test’); if it holds firm it has formed roots and is ready to pot.

Weekly market wrap Are increasing unit values close to outperforming houses? Prospective property buyers, especially those who have spent more than six months in the market, would be noticing fewer opportunities to choose from. Increasing buyer demand and less choice is driving appreciating property values in both new and established markets. SQM Research found that while Canberra recorded an increase in new listings during February, year-on-year (YoY) there was an overall reduction of 19% in the number of properties for sale. Managing Director of SQM Research, Louis Christopher, said “the month of February traditionally records a rise in properties listed for sale as the new year is well underway, this is evident in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra whereby new listings skyrocketed by over 60% compared to January. However, we are down for the year in all cities as absorption rates have picked up. There are many more buyers now compared to last year and so surplus stock is being sold and taken off the market”. Australian Bureau of Statistics new property market data showed a 26.8% drop YoY in the number of new dwellings approved. SQM Research Weekly Asking Prices Index, which tracks advertised prices, showed a 2.3% month-on-month increase and 6.8% YoY increase in the asking prices of units. This research is an early indicator of vendor confidence. CoreLogic’s Home Value Index supports vendors asking higher prices, finding unit values are increasing at a similar rate to houses, achieving 1.1% and 1.2% growth respectively during the last quarter. Those currently in the market for a new

unit may not have long to enjoy current conditions before investors exiting the bloodbath of the stock market start to pour into property. The Canberra market is especially attractive for those seeking a lack of volatility and strong gross yields (5.8%).

Why own residential property in Canberra? Canberra’s local economy offers significant strength during times of adverse market forces. The unemployment rate is the lowest nationally. The Real Estate Institute of Australia found Canberra households devote the second lowest proportion of income nationally to meeting loan and rent commitments, 22.3% and 18.8% respectively. This means housing is exceptionally affordable in comparison to peers nationally. Households have the highest national median incomes, creating significantly greater borrowing capacity when interest rates reduce. Canberrans have been ready, willing and able to take advantage of favourable borrowing conditions. During the December quarter 2019, the average Canberra loan size increased by $33,611 and recorded the highest national increase in the number of new dwelling loans at 17.6%. Sales data from July 2019 shows property prices have increased as borrowing capacity has increased. The Reserve Bank of Australia interest rate cut of 0.25% last week with full pass-through from major lenders and likely further cut in April should provide plenty of additional firepower to keep driving price growth.

Dame Pattie Menzies House for sale Dame Pattie Menzies House in Dickson is on the market, with expressions of interest to close on Tuesday 24 March. Colliers International director capital markets and investment services, Matthew Winter, said this is a rare opportunity, with the building currently fully tenanted with a government tenant.

QCCP progresses The development application (DA) has been lodged for the Queanbeyan Civic and Cultural Precinct (QCCP), to be located on the site of the former Council administration building on Crawford Street. With an estimated cost of $74 million, the QCCP development will be a “focal point of the Queanbeyan CBD” and will free up a number of Council-owned properties for potential redevelopment. It will include a head office for Council staff, the library, commercial lettable space and space for NSW Government offices. The Council is seeking tenders for the detailed design of the precinct, and will seek expressions of interest later in the year for the precinct’s construction, subject to approval. The DA is available online via qprc.nsw.gov. au/track-DAs and at the Council’s Queanbeyan customer service centre, with submissions open until 17 March.

Elegance with a view Jerrabomberra NSW 66 Waterfall Drive “The views are truly wonderful, but that’s just the start,” says Ray White Canberra sales consultant, Stephanie Hendry, of this elegant home at 66 Waterfall Drive, Jerrabomberra. “The views are better and wider than in a lot of places in the suburb, or indeed anywhere in Canberra. “The snow on the Brindabellas can be seen from the kitchen window (and from the backyard), Canberra City can be seen from the lounge and of course from the balcony, and there are kangaroos on the hill opposite the house,” she says. “The back garden is pretty, completely secluded and serene.” This five-bedroom family home oozes elegance at every turn, and Hendry says it is perfect for entertaining family and friends. “The layout of the house makes it easy for the adults to entertain their friends in the formal lounge/ dining area while the kids can have

the use of the rest of the house. “There is easy access to the formal dining room from the kitchen and, on the other side, to the family room and rumpus room. With three bathrooms,

there are no queues in the morning rush. This house has a really special feel, and visitors don’t want to leave!” Hendry says this grand home would be perfect for a family with teenagers or slightly younger children. The kitchen boasts stone benchtops, gas cooktop, under-bench oven and integrated dishwasher, adjoining the openplan meals and family room. There are two master bedrooms with ensuite, as well as two further queen-sized bedrooms, serviced by the luxurious main bathroom with spa bath and separate powder room. Further features include custom-made curtains and blinds, chandeliers, floating timber flooring, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, alarm system, intercom system and 2.7m high ceilings upstairs. Outside, you’ll find the fully landscaped garden with Colorbond fencing, automated irrigation and

additional storage under the house and in the double garage. Hendry says the sunsets over the Brindabellas are “amazing to watch”. “If you are an aeroplane enthusiast, one can see the planes landing and taking off at a distance,” she says. “The opposite hills are a reserve and never to be built out. The outdoor entertaining area with the views is so special, ideal for gatherings of family and friends, and also to watch the fireworks from a distance on Canberra Day, etc.”

Cool Runnings

pick of the week District 9

Friday, 7MATE, 6.30pm, PG (1993)

Based on the true story of the remarkable experiences of Jamaica’s first bobsled team to reach the Winter Olympics, this is winning stuff, wonderfully geared to suit a family audience. This Disney gem demonstrates dreams can come true without special effects gimmickry or fantasy. A semi-serious John Candy (pictured) is memorable as the coach.

Friday

Monday, 9GO!, 9.45pm, MA15+ (2009)

Part mockumentary, part alien splatter flick, Neill Blomkamp’s debut is pure magic. When, 20 years after ditching their mothership, a million refugee aliens outgrow a Johannesburg slum, a private military firm headed by bureaucrat Wikus (Sharlto Copley, pictured) is charged with moving them on. This pointed allegory of apartheid South Africa is an absolute masterpiece.

Logan Friday, 7MATE, 8.35pm, MA15+ (2017)

Hugh Jackman (pictured) dons Wolverine’s claws for the final time for this surprisingly thoughtful – and most superior by far – addition to the X-Men universe. It is the not-too-distant future, and a bitter and broken Logan befriends a young girl, (Dafne Keen), the first new mutant seen in dozens of years – and she has a connection to our brooding hero. More a western than a superhero film, it’s almost apocalyptic, very violent and full of despair – and it’s just brilliant.

celebrity birthday LILY COLLINS 18 March 1989 Throughout 2020, Lily must avoid trying to be perfect or to aim for perfection by chopping and changing her mind. Instead of aiming for the impossible, she needs to focus on being herself and bringing positive energy and good humour to everything she does. There are certainly going to be quite a lot of bright spots on the personal horizon, however, Lily needs to be careful of jumping to conclusions which is a common fault of hers from time to time.

in the stars ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Special family happenings will be absorbing. You will need to put time aside to attend to duties which will be more of a joy than an actual task, plus some family members will need sensitive, emotional support. If you’re single, a dynamic new relationship will generate exciting, emotional energy.

Friends will show you much love and support, you will spend time with favourite people and the pleasure of their company will be delightful indeed. You will make plans with a close friend too, which may involve a lot of organising and a major commitment from both of you.

There may be a contract or legal issues to organise and documents involving superannuation, taxation, a property settlement or other important matters to deal with. March is a time of important undertakings on the financial front. The emotional tone of the coming weeks could be quite intense.

Romantic vibes will echo throughout March. Apart from the magic of ultra-romantic dates and the tender togetherness that loving signals and messages create, there could be a solid development in your relationship that takes it to a deeper level of commitment.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

There will be a thrilling triumph with a task or project. There may be an important breakthrough that puts the whole issue onto a positive footing. Furthermore, if there has been any difficulty in your relationship with a superior or colleague, this month should bring a turning point.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

You will need to be careful of how you handle personal issues at home as a confrontation with a family member is likely. The home area will buzz with activity and there could be new conditions to assimilate into family arrangements. Emotional experiences feature strongly this month.

A call from out of the blue will be a startling, thrilling surprise. You will be so pleased to hear from this person and there will be so much to catch up on, you will not be able to wait to see them! Friends will spark joy.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE Soul searching will set a tone of serious reflection and analysing. You will learn a considerable amount about yourself, your relationships and gain a few new insights and understandings of experiences you have had recently or in the past. Family commitments will escalate.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT If you have friends, family or workmates at a distance, you’re likely to be hearing from them and having a great deal to do with them. When it comes to a possible romance, you could find that somebody with a strange accent makes your heart flutter – all very mysterious.

Some relationships may not be entirely smooth. Disagreements could flare suddenly. Tense, prickly vibes could pervade some situations and bubbling, contentious issues that need to be addressed could be a little difficult to keep on a harmonious track. Steer a calm, steady and patient course.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC Be very cautious about promising more than you can handle. Ultimately, March should be a most constructive and rewarding month on the work front, but you will have to throw yourself into tasks with zeal and gusto to generate a brisk pace and strong momentum.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR The month of March sees you on the move and you will meet people who are different from your regular associates. The whole experience will be enjoyable and stimulating. If you are single, a romantic interest could develop through someone you meet by chance.

The fog of war On a remote mountaintop in Latin America, a rebel group of teenage commandos perform military training exercises and guard an American hostage. They live tranquil lives in relative peace. But when their position is compromised after an attack, they are forced deeper into the jungle. Their situation spirals out of control, as allegiances shift and they have to do whatever it takes to survive. Monos (MA 15+) examines the chaos and fog of war from the unique perspective of adolescence, thrust into an unforgiving, irrational and often surreal environment. Releasing 26 March at Dendy Canberra.

Enter to WIN Canberra Weekly has 6 x in-season double passes to Monos at Dendy Canberra be won. To enter, email competitions@canberraweekly. com.au with ‘Monos’ in the subject field. Tell us your name, full contact details and who you’d like to take with you to see this film. Entries close 9am 20 March 2020 and winners drawn same day. One entry per person. Entrants must be aged 18+.

My favourite things THE SOUTH COAST I’ve been going to the South Coast with my family since I was really little! I’ve got such good memories of it. Whenever I go now, it’s usually with family, friends, or just to relax - so I associate it with feeling laid back and content.

AN OLD FASHIONED I don’t know why I like this cocktail so much, I can’t explain it, but it’s my favourite drink! Somethin’ ‘bout that glacé cherry too …

BERRIES I’ve been spoilt all my life with berries. My grandad’s garden has raspberries, boysenberries, blueberries, mulberries and cherries. As a kid, I was known to eat berries till I felt sick. Not much has changed.

MY BROTHERS/FAMILY

Host, Triple J Breakfast

I’m Erica! I wear a couple hats: I work on Triple J Breakfast as part of a duo called Sally and Erica. Sally and I also make hip hop together under Coda Conduct. When I’m not radio-ing or music-ing, I’m hanging with my housemates and friends, trying to think of things to cook other than tofu green curry, going to gigs, exercising and watching (probably bad) TV. I wear my socks inside out because they’re more comfortable that way (try it) and once I dislocated my jaw from yawning. I only just started full time on Triple J this year – before that, Sally and I did Weekend Arvos. Breakfast radio is a very different vibe! But I’m having heaps of fun with it. It’s cool being able to focus a lot of my energy on something I really care about! 138

We all live in different cities but when we get to spend time together it’s hilarious. We share a very weird sense of humour and I always feel funnier after a couple days hanging out with them. They keep me sharp! My mum (not pictured) also cracks me up.

EXERCISING It is an instant mood fix for me! If I’m feeling really grumpy, I can’t really shake it unless I get out there and physically shake it, you know? I’m going to try to run another half marathon this year!
