contents 12 From the editor Some monstrous incidents have occurred on ACT roads in recent days – three on-duty police officers injured while conducting routine traffic stops after a motorist drove at them on Sunday, and an ACT Corrective Services vehicle being rammed repeatedly by a stolen 4WD in a brazen attack on Friday afternoon that saw a detainee escape, before being recaptured later that night. Our thoughts are with those injured or adversely affected in the line of duty, while rendering important services that help to keep our community safe.

Kudos to you and to those members of the public who rendered assistance in both cases.

Fortunately for us, these kinds of crimes are so shocking precisely because they seem quite rare in our generally law-abiding city.

Still, it’s refreshing when something happens that restores your faith in humanity – such as members of the public stopping to help in perilous circumstances. Or an unexpected knock on the door from a stranger returning a family member’s wallet he found on the ground at the local recycling depot.

Heartfelt thanks to Daniel from @chefs&dogs for going out of his way to do such a good deed.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include good people doing good things for others, and all those whose efforts help to keep us safe and well. Thank you.

Sydney lockdown hurting ACT businesses The effects of the NSW lockdown are being felt far beyond the Sydney region, with Canberra businesses struggling due to lack of tourism numbers, especially during the recent school holidays.

Damian Brabender, executive chef at Otis Dining Hall in Kingston and the Truffle Farm at Majura, said the downturn in tourist trade has seen both businesses feeling the pinch.

“Currently at OTIS we have just experienced cancellations of 60% and the uptake of bookings has quartered,” he said.

“This shows exactly how dependent our hospitality and tourism sectors are on NSW travel.”

Things at the Truffle Farm are harder still, with a cancellation rate of up to 90% for events as part of the Canberra Region Truffle Festival – typically a huge winter tourism drawcard for the ACT. It was hoped this year’s festival would draw in domestic visitors who would otherwise be overseas at this time of year, with the ACT Government banking on domestic tourism to bolster the local economy.

Mr Brabender said the current situation is “simply unsustainable”, especially as truffle growers only have a small window of time during the year to operate.

“The best hope for survival and continued success for businesses in these situations is, luckily, something that Canberrans do best, and that is supporting small local business.”

The Truffle Farm’s owner Jayson Mesman and executive chef Damian Brabender, who said the Sydney lockdown has caused a 90% cancellation rate for their truffle festival events.

Calls for support from federal, state governments Mr Brabender said he would welcome government

support for the businesses affected by the NSW lockdown, with the ACT “100% dependent on our neighbour state” for tourism revenue.

“These businesses have had their character and resilience tested enough, now is the time that the question needs to be answered: ‘who in government is really looking out for hospitality and tourism?’”

Other sectors of the ACT have expressed their frustrations, too. Canberra Airport head Stephen Byron said earlier last week that state border closures were having an impact on not only the airline industry but the hotel and tourism industries as well.

“You think about what’s going on in the hotels in Canberra at the moment.

“They’ve been decimated by this closure and lockdown in Sydney … you’ve got hotels that are 200 rooms that [last night] had seven rooms occupied.”

Mr Byron has called for “sensible arrangements” between states and territories to keep borders open where a jurisdiction has zero COVID-19 cases. As at 13 July, the ACT had recorded no locally acquired cases in more than a year.

NDIS independent assessments canned but concerns remain Advocacy organisations are relieved the Federal Government has called a halt to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) independent assessments.

While they hope to work with the government to co-design a peoplecentred scheme, they also remain prepared to oppose legislation they feel limits disabled people’s choice and control.

Following Friday’s (9 July) meeting of Disability Reform Ministers, Senator Linda Reynolds, Minister for the NDIS, announced that independent assessments in their current form would not proceed. Independent assessments were intended to make the NDIS more adaptable, less bureaucratic, and cheaper to run, but disabled people and advocates believed they were simplistic and overlooked 10

individual needs. Several state and territory ministers – including the ACT’s Emma Davidson – opposed changes to the scheme.

On Friday, Ms Reynolds stated that instead, Ministers and disabled people would work together to design a personcentred model that would be equitable in access and planning.

The federal minister’s decision was a victory for the disabled community, said Emma Davidson.

Advocacy for Inclusion CEO Nicolas Lawler was pleased the “controversial and flawed” reforms would not go ahead, but also concerned that “the lack of a clear pathway forward … provided little clarity or security for people with disability”.

Bec Cody, CEO of the Mental Health Community Coalition ACT, was grateful to see Senator

Reynolds “has finally decided to listen to what we’ve been saying all along – that independent assessments are not a way forward for participants in the NDIS”.

However, she remained “a little bit sceptical” the NDIS would be co-designed.

“I think the government will probably go back to the drawingboard and come up with some other way to push through some changes that aren’t necessarily going to work for participants,” Ms Cody said. “The Coalition tends to run ahead and drop new changes on people without necessarily thinking about how it is going to impact them.”

Progressing changes without consulting people with disability would make it difficult for them to trust the NDIA, Mr Lawler said.

The government, he insisted, must ensure people with disability were actively involved at every level of reform design, and that their voices and experience inform the NDIS. Advocacy for Inclusion and the disabled community would oppose reforms if they reduced access or choice and control under the NDIS. Ms Cody also encouraged the government to work with mental health and disability peak bodies across Australia to listen to what participants have to say. The MHCC ACT would be happy to work with the government.

“Realistically, we just want to see this work for people,” she said.

political capital Gaoling 10-year-olds: a study in failure Should a 10-year-old go to gaol for a crime he or she might commit? Perhaps the answer depends on the crime; many people in Britain supported the prison sentences handed down to the 10-yearolds who tortured and killed two-year-old James Bulger in 1993.

The age of criminal responsibility – that is, the age below which a person is deemed to be incapable of committing a crime – across Australia is 10. The UN benchmark is 14, based on neurological evidence that children generally determine the capacity to distinguish right from wrong at about that age.

For me, the question is not one of determining when a child is capable of understanding what they are doing. Rather, it is a question of whether sending such a child to gaol actually succeeds in making Australians safer.

To answer that question, we need to know why children commit crimes. While no simple answer presents itself, studies have shown that more than 80% of kids in prison suffer from trauma, mostly originating in childhood. This commonly relates to

drug abuse and family violence. Kids from homes where family members have been imprisoned are more likely themselves to end up there.

Putting a traumatised child into prison with other traumatised children doesn’t seem to be a very rational way of overcoming the causes of their criminal offending. In fact, it is pretty clear that such an environment makes the problem worse.

And herein lies the single, most compelling reason why we should not be sending 10-to-13-year-old kids to gaol.

It doesn’t work. Statistics show that imprisonment at an early age massively increases the likelihood that a person will return to gaol.

Nearly three-quarters of those in adult gaols in Australia have served previous prison sentences; more than a third have been imprisoned at least five times before.

Going to gaol doesn’t deter people from committing further crimes. Going to gaol, in fact, is an indicator that they are likely to commit further crimes.

This, in part, is because our prisons are lousy

WITH GARY HUMPHRIES AO FORMER ACT CHIEF MINISTER AND ACT SENATOR

at rehabilitation. They are overcrowded and tense; frequently the highest priority of prison authorities is to contain and control the prison population, to keep the ever-present threat of violence at bay.

Hardly the environment in which to be teaching people missing social skills and addressing psychological deficits.

The community is, of course, “safe” from a child offender while he or she is imprisoned. But the relief can only be temporary, and the eventual release of that child back into the community, their underlying trauma unresolved and their habituation into the environment of criminal offending consolidated, creates an even greater likelihood that more victims will be created in the future.

Alternatives must be explored. The costs alone – up to $500,000 per child – are horrendous. That’s a very high price for failure.

Gary is co-chair of the ACT chapter of Justice Reform Initiative, a group of leading citizens who advocate for reduced reliance on imprisonment in the criminal justice system.

Payne’s petition to keep Braddon Centrelink open Office building for lease, available 2022: “Standalone opportunity in the vibrant suburb of Braddon; sizes available from 300sqm up to the whole building of 1,510 sqm.”

But that office space is the Centrelink shopfront in Braddon – the only one in the Inner North / Civic area.

Labor MP for Canberra Alicia Payne was aghast when she saw the advertisement from property managers JLL appear on a staffer’s Facebook feed. She believes the Federal Government plans to close the shopfront.

The MP has started a petition calling on the Federal Government to keep the Braddon shopfront open. So far, it has more than 550 signatures.

Senator Linda Reynolds, Minister for Government Services, confirmed in a letter to her that the lease would expire on 28 February 2022.

“The Agency is currently considering its face-to-face service offer for North Canberra,” Senator Reynolds wrote.

Services Australia general manager Hank Jongen said that as leases came up for renewal, the agency reviewed service centre tenancies to ensure they were fit for purpose and aligned with the changing needs of the community.

Ms Payne described the Centrelink shopfront as “an important centre for Canberra’s workers and jobseekers, as well as older Canberrans, students, and those experiencing homelessness”.

Many of those clients would have difficulty paying for bus fares to the nearest Centrelink service centres in Weston, Belconnen, Gungahlin, and Tuggeranong, she argued.

Senator Reynolds said more people were using telephone and digital services (such as myGov and Express Plus mobile apps) to do their Centrelink business at a time and place convenient to them.

“This has led to fewer people needing to attend service centres.”

Ms Payne did not think the government’s explanation was good enough. Centrelink

processes were complex, she told the ABC; homeless people did not have access to computers or phones to access Centrelink; and people escaping domestic violence might not be able to use a computer or a phone at home, and would rather come into a face-to-face office.

Services Australia has said it will inform the community and staff if it planned to make any changes to services in Braddon.

However, Ms Payne claimed that there had been no community consultation about the potential closure. The ACT Council of Social Services (ACTCOSS) also asked Senator Reynolds’s office whether they planned to consult the people affected. The Minister’s office had not replied.

In fact, Ms Payne told ABC Radio, the Government’s transparency was “appalling”.

“That I or anyone would find out from an advertisement for the office space that’s clearly the Centrelink office is not good enough.”

New lab to make ACT a renewable energy leader

A world-class research laboratory officially opened at ANU on Tuesday 13 July aims to develop a resilient and decarbonised energy system for Australia – and extend the ACT’s leadership in accelerating Australia’s renewable energy economy and industry.

“Australia’s electricity system is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century,” said Heather Logie, Chief Operating Officer of the ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program. The whole economy – not just electricity – was being decarbonised.

Heather Logie; Dr Bjorn Sturmberg and Chief Minister Andrew Barr in the background. Picture supplied by the ANU.

“We are now in a race to ‘electrify everything’.

This means we need to build an energy ecosystem that is powered by millions of connected and different devices, including batteries, vehicles, and even air conditioners.

“The rest of the world will look to Australia to see how we solve these problems as we walk this energy transition first.”

The Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Lab was announced in 2019 with $1.5 million in funding from the ACT Government and support from the ANU, ITP Renewables (a specialist energy consultancy), UNSW Canberra, and Evoenergy.

It contains a replica electricity network with transformers, batteries, and solar generators on the roof connected to EV chargers, where researchers and industry can work together to design technology for the future energy system.

In the lab’s first project, scientists will use electric vehicles to support the electricity grid, explained researcher Dr Bjorn Sturmberg. The vehicles (supplied by the ACT Government) are used to transport nurses, but spend a lot of time parked.

Their large batteries could feed power back into the

energy network.

The lab’s researchers are also working with UNSW Canberra to build a grid controller to remotely access the facility’s capabilities, perhaps even from overseas.

“The rate of change is so rapid now that it’s very hard to predict how the lab will be used over the next 18 years,” said ITP’s Oliver Woldring. “If we go forward 10 years and look back … at the array of technologies, innovations, inventions that get tested in labs such as this … it’ll be amazing.”

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr opened the laboratory. It “cements Canberra’s position as the national leader in renewable energy innovation and collaboration”, he said. Its output would inform decisions made within the national electricity market and by state governments.

Mr Barr hoped it would also inform federal government energy policy. “The frustrating thing, clearly, is that we could run so much faster if [national policy] were more supportive and more conducive to innovation and transition.”

Lifeline Canberra marks 50 years of saving lives Lifeline Canberra, the largest crisis support centre in Australia, turns 50 this month – and perhaps it has never been needed more.

Since the pandemic, the demand for Lifeline’s crisis support services and programs has increased 40%; volunteers are expected to take more than a million calls this year alone from desperate people, many thinking of suicide.

“We’re up against what is certainly the largest mental health challenge this country has seen,” said CEO Carrie-Ann Leeson.

“Isolation, lockdowns, bushfires, storms and smoke have all ravaged our community in the past couple of years.

“Lifeline will continue to support those in crisis, 1971 10 July 1971 Lifeline Canberra becomes a corporation, under the direction of Mr R.H. Oldmeadow.

to meet them where they are at, and help them through.

“We are also forging ahead with plans to educate and bolster our community, from a much younger age, to ensure we are in the best position to live a substantial and joyful life.”

Lifeline’s biggest achievement over the halfcentury of its existence has been helping to shape a suicide-safe and connected community, Ms Leeson believes. Since 1979, volunteers have answered almost 791,000 calls.

“Every week we lose another Canberran to suicide,” Lifeline’s website states. “And every day, Lifeline Canberra telephone crisis supporters prevent the loss of many more.”

1971 Training started to be offered as an extension of Lifeline Canberra services; topics such as Emotional Disturbance and Marital mix-ups were offered to other voluntary groups.

1971 25 October 1971 Lifeline Canberra held its first fundraising event “Paddle-athon” on Lake Burley Griffin.

1974 In July, Lifeline Canberra’s Crisis support phone number changed to 822222.

1973 Lifeline Canberra’s first bookfair was held 7-9 June at Albert Hall with book donations being accepted at public libraries across Canberra.

Those volunteers are as diverse as the callers, Ms Leeson said: all genders, backgrounds, ages (as young as 18), and life experiences.

Some volunteer because they want to help others less fortunate and make a difference to people; others because they want to give back to a service that has helped them in the past. They remain because they make a difference; they talk to people who have no-one else to turn to, and because they can save a life.

Volunteers spend most of their time at Lifeline listening to the distress the community is in, and supporting the caller to find options for their future, Ms Leeson said.

“They will talk to people with thoughts of

1982 The 1982 Book Fair was the most successful one to date, led by Ken Crawford and his committee. A total of $15,783 was raised. The fair had now become an important date in the Canberra calendar.

1981 Lifeline Canberra celebrated 10 years, during which time it took 79,600 calls, 350 home visits and 9,050 personal counselling hours.

1983 Lifeline Canberra takes its 100,000th call.

1984 The Doorknock appeal became Lifeline’s third major fundraising event; over $43,000 being raised at the time was a huge achievement.

1986 A new telephone service for young people called YouthLine opened Saturday 25 October 1986. Youthline ended in 2003.

1985 December 1985 saw Lifeline Canberra Bookmobile make its first appearance. With help from The Rotary Club, the Bookmobile was parked at the Jamison trash and treasure market.

1988 Lifeline introduced a new logo with a defining dot circle that is still used today.

suicide, scared from violent relationships, and unable to cope with the situations they are in and the emotions they feel. People struggling with loneliness, anxiety, uncertainty about the future, or grief – all common emotions that have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Canberra phone room has 12 seats, and a thousand volunteers. “It sounds a lot like a library,” Ms Leeson said: the volunteers say little as they listen to callers’ stories.

After a call, Ms Leeson said, volunteers often hear “a shift in the caller: they can breathe easier, talk slower, sound calmer, and have a plan for what they will do”. When callers are thinking of suicide, crisis supporters “meet them where they are at in their pain and distress”, so that each caller feels heard, accepted, and validated. Crisis supporters empower the caller to keep themselves safe, while linking to supports and resources.

Talking to people in distress can take an 1994 Lifeline transitioned to the 24hour telephone crisis support line and a single national priority 13 number (13 11 14).

emotional toll. The volunteers regularly check in with their in-shift support about calls that may have upset them, or talk over a snack and coffee with other volunteers.

To meet increased demand during the pandemic, Lifeline has run nearly continuous training for new crisis supporters to help answer more calls, and provided extra support to those on the phones, Ms Leeson said.

Lifeline more than doubled its intake since the pandemic began. In March 2020, when COVID hit, 57 volunteers were two-thirds through their training; over the past financial year, Lifeline has trained 120 volunteers.

Lifeline will mark its 50th birthday with a cocktail party at the National Arboretum on 30 July, and its bookfair at EPIC in early September.

“Whilst there are many of us struggling with elements of the pandemic and life in general over the past couple of years, there are many in our community who are doing an incredible job of maintaining their wellbeing,” Ms Leeson said.

“This movement is to give them the stage to start a positive conversation, to activate these human ‘roadmaps’ who are navigating the storm well.”

news Afghan war rugs a testimony to creativity and resilience Australian troops left Afghanistan last month, almost 20 years since the US invaded in the War on Terror – another chapter in the Central Asian country’s troubled history of revolution, occupation, and civil war. Coincidentally, an

exhibition of war rugs at ANU’s Drill Hall Gallery this winter shows how more than 40 years of conflict have left their marks on the country’s art – and its citizens.

rugs, considered one of the world’s richest traditions of modern war art. This is the first time war rugs have been exhibited in the ACT since 2003. It is, organisers say, a testimony to the weavers’ creativity and resilience.

“War’s the worst catastrophe of all; war disturbs the foundation of society,” says Afghan rug dealer Sabur Fahiz, who supplied many of the rugs to collectors and co-curators Professor Timothy Bonyhady and Nigel Lendon.

Most of the rugs are made by women, Mr Fahiz explains, both in villages and refugee camps.

(Afghans are the world’s second biggest group of refugees after Syrians; Canberra alone has 650 refugees.)

“Weaving is a very old profession; mostly they weave

whatever is around them. In these rugs, they’re seeing war, artillery, aeroplanes, rocket launchers.

These are documentations of war in the form of artwork, floor coverings, wall hangings.”

Some are traditional: the seventh-century lovers Leyli and Majnun, framed by peacocks, machine guns, helicopters, and planes, or reimagined as mujahideen warriors; pomegranate trees next to rocket launchers; the modernising king Amanullah, with tanks and pistols.

Some are abstract: friezes of bullets and missiles, borders of grenades.

Others are like propaganda posters: 1980s Communist leader Najibullah depicted as a Soviet puppet; a social realist tableau of

Fahiz says, part-time work for a woman – when not looking after her children or cooking dinner.

The weavers are quite well-off

by Afghan standards; with the money they make, they can afford to educate their children to become doctors or engineers.

“These are extraordinary works of art, and they show amazing creativity in the worst of conditions,” Professor Bonhady says. “The fact that Afghan weavers throughout this long period of war have shown such inventiveness and creativity, and made such powerful works of art is astonishing … a testimony to their resilience.”

burning tanks in front of a palace; a Kalashnikov rifle rising out of an Uncle Sam hat. And in Afghan homes, food is served on mats decorated with stylised tanks, planes, and missiles.

After 9/11, rugs appeared showing planes crashing into the World Trade Center. When the US began Operation Enduring Freedom to oust the Taliban and destroy the al-Qaeda training camps, weavers adopted motifs of American aircraft carriers and cruise missiles.

Bonyhady and Lendon had collected war rugs for years, but were amazed by the imagery. “In the wake of 9/11, the depiction of the war seemed really salient,” Professor Bonyhady says.

A rug takes eight months to a year to make; some villages make 20 rugs a year. It is, Mr

Sydney Derby moved to Ballarat Canberra Raiders relocate to Gold Coast

The Canberra Raiders will be based on the Gold Coast for at least the next month after the NRL moved 12 clubs into Queensland hubs amid the current NSW COVID-19 outbreak.

Every club will be permitted a maximum of 30 players and 11 staff while in Queensland. At this point, Canberra will take 29 players into the hub.

Canberra Raiders CEO Don Furner said he was “shocked” and frustrated to find out the club would have to relocate given how well the ACT has managed the pandemic.

“It was a bit of a shock because I thought we were safe, Canberra’s safe,” said Furner.

“Our stadium is allowed full capacity, the city has been pretty compliant, we wore masks for the last two weeks.”

The Raiders head up to Queensland with some newfound confidence after an upset 30-16 victory over Manly last round.

The Raiders started slowly but the injection of Tom Starling off the bench and the kicking game of five-eighth Matt Frawley gave them control.

Halfback Sam Williams crossed for two tries while Joe Tapine was outstanding off the bench, running for 234 metres.

The 10th placed Raiders are now just two points outside the top eight and take on the eighth placed Sharks this weekend.

For the second time in as many years, an AFL Sydney Derby will be held outside NSW with the Giants to meet the Swans at Mars Stadium in Ballarat on Saturday afternoon, 17 July.

The Giants were hoping the game could be played here in Canberra, having made Manuka Oval a second home base since the club entered the AFL in 2012, but that was ruled out when the Victorian Government declared the ACT a red zone last Sunday.

GWS got a taste of playing in Ballarat last week, going down to the Gold Coast Suns by one point in a thriller.

The Giants took a 13-point lead into the final quarter but the Suns used the breeze at their backs to claim a famous win.

The loss sees the Giants drop out of the top eight and into tenth spot on the ladder while the Swans remain in sixth after upsetting the Bulldogs by 19 points last Sunday afternoon.

Local talent an All Australian Earlier this month, talented 17-yearold Queanbeyan Tiger Cynthia Hamilton was named at full-forward in the U19 AFLW All Australian team. Hamilton enjoyed a sensational national championship playing across the forward line and midfield for the Allies in April.

She averaged 21.5 disposals (13.5 contested), 10 tackles, 5 inside 50s and kicked 2 goals in two matches and took out her team’s MVP award.

“It took lots of time, practice and training and I’ve finally reached a significant place, I’m happy with my achievement,” she told CW.

Transformation is a “meaty theme” for Irvine given the nature of her art, the way she uses materials, and the way her practice has evolved throughout her 20-year career.

2021 Design Canberra designer-in-residence Lucy Irvine’s signature work, The Stills, will be the focal point of a Craft ACT exhibition for the duration of the festival in November. Photos: Denholm Samaras.

Lucy Irvine named Design Canberra’s designer-in-residence The 2021 Design Canberra theme of transformation is a fitting one for festival designer-in-residence, Canberra-based artist and educator, Lucy Irvine.

Irvine said transformation is a “really meaty theme” for her given the nature of her work, the way she uses materials, and the direction her practice has evolved throughout her career.

“The different kinds of weaving I’ve developed over the last 20 years now completely interrogate and inform my way of thinking, my way of learning and my way of seeing the world,” she said.

Irvine’s thoughtful and considered response to the festival theme comes in the form of her commissioned signature artwork, The Stills, which will be the focal point of a Craft ACT exhibition for the duration of the festival.

The way the work has been created embodies the theme: Irvine picked out two silicone moulds used to create a recent public art commission and reimagined them through her creative process.

Initially, she poured wax into those sections “over and over again”, each time producing a slightly different result.

From there, the sections were cast in bronze, with the final product featuring 50 pieces, 49 displayed in a seven-by-seven grid, and one on its own.

“Each of these is an interesting form, you also get the sense of them potentially being fragments of something else,” she said.

“In a grid, they begin to suggest there’s some 28

canberraweekly.com.au

kind of secondary order or vague secondary pattern that holds the whole thing together.”

Irvine said her use of repetition and pattern forming shows the “iterative process of transformation”.

“I’ve been extremely busy the last few years and wanted this to be an opportunity to revisit old work and find a rhythm in terms of the processes I use,” she said.

Appointment ‘almost too neat’ Running 8-28 November, other duties Irvine will take on throughout Design Canberra include the creation of a large-scale, site-specific temporary installation at The Cutting next to Lake Burley Griffin, as well as taking part in a workshop, and presenting an artist’s talk about her exhibition.

Alongside the festival, several other occasions will culminate for her in November.

Running concurrently with the festival will be Irvine’s solo exhibition at Thor’s Hammer that will be the culmination of her PhD research, titled emergent knowledge practices.

“It’s this idea of not working to a predetermined plan but have a series of parameters that you’re responding to and the thing therefore coming into being,” she said.

Irvine said it’s a “wonderful end point” for her PhD research to be part of Design Canberra because her famous 2017 Design Canberra work,

Surface Strategies, was completed in the infancy of her PhD. “As much as I love the thought of transformation being this ongoing process, we are mindful of, there’s a series of really nice end points coming together here as well,” she smiles.

“To have that culminate as part of Design Canberra is almost too neat, but in a fantastic kind of way.”

The Scottish-born artist, who moved to Australia in 2003, has lived in Canberra for the past five years.

Irvine said she has mixed feelings about the planned nature of Canberra, but ultimately regards it as a place of “so much potential”.

“I appreciate that in Canberra you get sections in which you can feel a whole vision and that’s a really interesting thing to encounter and a really good and powerful thing to experience.”

She lamented, however, the lack of visibility regarding the creative goings-on around town.

“From living here for a while now there are fantastic communities, fantastic artists and creative people,” she said. “We need places in which there’s more visibility of that and not flittering away to the suburbs in that regard.

“For people when they visit the city, it would be so fantastic to have a clearer sense of what’s actually happening here, because it’s not always easy to find.”

Operation Pedestal by Max Hastings Harper Collins, $34.99

In 1942 as World War II raged, a large fleet of British naval vessels and merchant ships set sail to Malta to save the ‘island fortress’ from starvation. It was a risky ploy that seemed doomed to failure. Encountering masses of German and Italian aircraft, U-boats and torpedo craft, the fleet pushed on through some of the war’s most brutal naval battles.

Expert military chronicler Max Hastings provides a gripping and well documented account of this largely forgotten episode of the war. This is a masterful piece of military history. Recommended.

So You Think You Know What’s Good For You

by Dr Norman Swan Hachette, $32.99

Dr Norman Swan was one of the first medically qualified journalists in Australia and for more than 30 years, he has been delivering common-sense health information through his various media outlets, and as a physician. Drawing on years of questions from ordinary Australians, he has compiled a fascinating handbook about what is good for you. Filled with interesting and important information, it counters the various medical myths, halftruths and internet misconceptions that we all come across. From nutrition to screen addiction to stress and sex, he covers it all in a clear and easily digestible manner.

Escape From Manus by Jaivet Ealom Viking, $34.99

Jaivet Ealom was raised in Burma as a Rohingya Muslim.

After years of sectarian violence and discrimination, Ealom fled to Australia seeking asylum. Instead of gaining refugee status, he was imprisoned on Christmas Island and then held on Manus Island for over three years. Unable to return to Myanmar because of fresh waves of genocide, he staged a clever escape. After a six-month odyssey, he eventually made his way to Canada, where he received much different treatment from what he had experienced in Australia. A moving account of an extraordinary experience.

long-lost surrogate sister (Florence Pugh), containing the antidote to the mind-controlling effects of the latest Black Widow program.

First introduced in 2010’s Iron Man 2, a Black Widow solo movie was only really considered after the success of the DC Extended Universe’s Wonder Woman in 2017. Similarly helmed by a female director, Australian Cate Shortland, Black Widow drops the male gaze that has framed the character to date, instead showcasing Romanoff’s struggle with the fallout of her past.

Florence Pugh of Fighting with My Family fame is a standout, with hints that there may be a future for her character.

Verdict: While a solid Marvel entry, the outing is embarrassingly late for one of the original Avengers. An origin story is preferred over a cobbledtogether side-adventure wedged into the established continuity. 3 stars.

wellbeing

WITH WESLEY SMITH DIRECTOR, LIVE WELL HOLISTIC WELLNESS CENTRE MANUKA LIVEWELLNATURALLY.COM.AU

What is ch’i?

At the heart of all traditional systems of medicine is the idea of an animating force that underpins wellbeing. In Chinese medicine, the term is ch’i (pronounced ‘chee’), in Ayurveda (and yoga) it’s called prana, and in western culture the closest translation is ‘vital force’.

Hippocrates, who is considered the father of modern medicine, was an avowed ‘vitalist’, meaning he believed there was an animating force that made living organisms fundamentally different to, and subject to different forces than, non-living entities.

We have record of many failed experiments that tried to measure this vital force, such as weighing an animal just before being killed and again immediately afterwards to ascertain if the vital force weighed anything.

However, a bit like the search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster, there has never been a conclusive sighting. As science was increasingly able to explain more about the physical and chemical functioning of the body (and nature as a whole) the idea of vitalism

became superseded by a mechanistic model.

Now we have a schism between traditional forms of medicine, rooted to their tenets of vitality, and western medicine firmly in the camp of considering vitalism a pseudoscience.

What is interesting, however, is that many practices that come from these traditional models are still thriving in the West. Yoga and meditation have never been more popular, and healing arts like acupuncture are firmly entrenched in our allied health landscape.

What has underpinned acupuncture’s acceptance in the West is the high-quality evidence of clinical efficacy. What that means is that even if you don’t accept the theories that underpin acupuncture practice, a fair-minded person, who is up to date with the research would have to accept that it can work. At the same time, it’s fair enough to say we don’t understand how it works from a western scientific paradigm.

So, we have a gulf between the traditional philosophies and the modern perspectives.

Personally, I’m quite comfortable with that gulf (as an acupuncturist, of course I should be!). It seems entirely rational to me that our current understanding of the human body, whilst mesmerisingly impressive, is still a long way from complete. Who would have thought a generation ago that studying the gut microbiome would yield such medical riches?

The idea that there is a fundamental difference between inanimate and living beings that we have not yet found a way to measure seems not so far-fetched. Further, I would say that treatments and practices that cultivate vitality and its associated wellbeing, like yoga and acupuncture, meet a very important need that in many ways western medicine has until recently largely neglected – the cultivation and promotion of wellbeing.

How to set up the perfect nursery Setting up a nursery can be one of the most exciting stages when preparing for your new arrival. To help you get started, British Paints share four simple tips to create a space that is comforting, functional and stylish.

1

Plan your space

Before you start purchasing new furniture or painting walls, it’s important to plan the layout of your nursery. Consider the essentials - like a sleeping area, change table, storage and seating - and where you may want to set them up.

2

Choose your colour

Start with a single colour or item you are drawn to and build a palette from there. Lighter neutrals are a great option if you want to ensure style longevity and flexibility. Greys, taupes and whites are an ideal base that won’t date and help

keep the room looking modern, spacious and clean, year after year. If a brighter palette is for you, consider a feature wall in a pastel colour to inject some playfulness and warmth.

3

Invest in pieces that will last

You don’t have to break the bank to create your perfect nursery space. Upcycling old furniture, like a chest of drawers or side table, is an easy way to save money while creating a beautiful piece for your little one. Simply give the item of furniture a light sand, then re-paint using British Paints Paint & Prime in your favourite colour.

4

Keep the accessories fun and practical

You want the nursery to feel comfortable and engaging for you and your baby, so be sure to add a few well-chosen accessories. Brighten up the space with some art or picture frames that fit

your colour scheme. Not only will they create visual interest in the room, but they’ll also be easy to move or swap out as your baby grows and their interests change. You can also add some warmth and extra comfort with cushions and throws, as well as a rug to keep the late nights cosy. Consider a lamp and a nightlight to aid with the functionality, plus a few cuddly toys for good measure.

Winter jobs in the garden Preventing and treating leaf curl: Leaf curl is one of the most common backyard fruit tree fungal diseases, and affects peaches, nectarines and apricots. During spring, reddish areas appear on new foliage, which become distorted and curled as they develop. Leaf curl can significantly affect fruit production and the health of the tree.

Disease spores overwinter on the tree and on fallen foliage and debris on the ground. They are most active early in the growing season in cool, wet

weather and are spread to other trees via wind and water.

Trees can be sprayed with lime sulphur or copper-based spray at 90% leaf fall and again in late winter before bud swell. Remove and replace mulch, especially any fallen leaves. Avoid watering the foliage and maintain tree health.

Preventing and treating codling moth: Codling moth is a common and destructive pest that affects apples, pears and quinces. The larvae burrow into the fruit causing significant damage and making it practically inedible.

During winter, the larvae digs into the soil and bark of the tree, before pupating as adults during the growing season and laying eggs on both the foliage and fruit.

There are usually two generations of codling moth per year.

Check the bark of trees closely and remove any larvae. Remove and replace the mulch, including any rotting fruit – consider sheet mulching with layers of compost, cardboard, compost and lastly, mulch. Repeat at least twice during the growing season.

Sheet mulching makes it difficult for the larvae to burrow into or out of the soil. Band and apply horticultural glue to the base of trees, to catch any of the adults as they make their way up the tree during late winter/early spring.

Upcoming workshops at CEC Check out these upcoming gardening workshops at Canberra Environment Centre (CEC), corner of Lawson Crescent and Lennox Crossing, Acton Peninsula; costs vary.

Growing Veggies from Seed: Raising vegetables and herbs from seed is fun and affordable but getting started can sometimes be tricky. Tuesday 27 July 6-8pm, join the Canberra Seed Savers Network for an introductory, hands-on workshop where you’ll leave feeling more confident about growing veggies, herbs and other plants from seed at home.

Planning a Food Garden: There are so many choices involved in growing food, from deciding on the vegetables to grow to figuring out when and where to plant them.

Combine that with Canberra’s unpredictable seasons and challenging soils and you’ll probably find that you need to make a garden plan! In this workshop on Tuesday 10 August 6-8pm, presented by Fiona Buining and Michael Wilson from Ainslie Urban Farm, you’ll learn how to approach vegetable garden planning in Canberra, what kind of factors you’ll need to think about, and how to work with the garden you already have.

The ‘Australian Dream’ kind of home Flynn 6 Flierl Place Family homes don’t get much better than this, on more than 1,000sqm, fully renovated throughout, and with views from every angle.

“It is definitely a family home,” says LJ Hooker Kaleen sales associate, Eoin Ryan-Hicks, on the ideal buyers for this impressive property.

“The large living spaces, big bedrooms and large backyard make it the ‘Australian Dream’ kind of family home,” he says.

It ticks all the boxes in terms of location, too, in the family-friendly suburb of Flynn with easy access to the Belconnen Town Centre and beyond.

“It is in the top part of Flynn in a quiet cul-de-sac,” Ryan-Hicks says.

Step inside this home, and you’ll see everything has been upgraded to the highest quality.

The sleek, modern kitchen boasts 900mm gas cooking, and opens onto the family and dining room with access to the outdoor entertaining area.

“There are sweeping views of the Brindabella mountains as far as the eye can see from the elevated position right in the living room,” Ryan-Hicks says.

Split-level decking envelops the home, with a front verandah, a deck off the master bedroom and another out the back – the ultimate entertaining space that leads to the large backyard, perfect for both pets and kids to enjoy.

A separate lounge room is ideal for family life, while the master bedroom is the ultimate parents’ retreat, with a luxurious ensuite with double vanity.

And, there’s even something for the budding musos!

“There is a really unique music recording studio in the garage,” says Ryan-Hicks.

“Built to the exact specifications so there are no echoes no matter where you play – perfect for the keen musician.”

Music to our ears!

A landlord’s market: Canberra rents The favoured Canberra spots still highest of the capital cities for re-locators Canberra remains the most expensive capital city in the country to rent, with median asking rents for houses again surging to an all-time high in the ACT. The figures from Domain’s June quarter rent report reveal asking rents for houses in Canberra have increased $30 over the quarter and $60 over the year, now at $630 per week.

Unit rents remain the same as the first quarter of the year, at $500 a week, up $30 from this time last year.

The vacancy rate has remained steady over the quarter, at 0.7%.

Domain’s senior research analyst, Dr Nicola Powell, said stable prices for a unit coupled with the sharp rise in house rental prices have pushed the price gap between renting a unit and a house to an “all time high”.

“Tenants no longer able to afford renting a house could be financially forced to opt for a unit, easing rental pressure on houses but shifting it to units,” she said.

Dr Powell said the rise in prices is unsustainable, with weak growth in wages that cannot support ongoing rental increases.

New suburb record for Throsby Sale records continue to tumble across the Territory, and the latest to bite the dust is in the Gungahlin suburb of Throsby.

The sale of 37 Shingleback Street for $1.95 million blew the previous record out of the water, eclipsing it by $550,000. The property was passed in at auction in June at just over $1.7 million,

before selling for the now-record price.

The five-bedroom, two-storey residence is home to an in-ground pool, multiple living areas including a theatre, two master bedrooms, outdoor kitchen and whisky bar and wine cellar.

The property was sold by agent Luke McAuliffe of Luton Gungahlin.

Two Northside Canberra suburbs have been named in the top 10 hot spots for relocating Australians in the ACT and NSW. Belconnen and Braddon both made the list, popular choices for people moving to the areas and relocating within them.

According to a research paper commissioned by removalist company Muval, Australians are on the move, with around half the population keen to relocate for a change of scenery.

“Since government restrictions began in March 2020, there have been over one million searches for ‘moving house’ COVID related questions,” said co-founder James Morrell.

Our fascination with property has held steady, too; more than 40% of people said they wanted to own their own home – something that’s becoming more and more difficult for some in the Nation’s Capital.

A holiday in your own home Malua Bay NSW 43 Tallawang Avenue This home on the NSW South Coast is a rare gem, perched on the clifftop, enjoying ocean views and all that comes with living beachside.

LJ Hooker Batemans Bay real estate agent and auctioneer, Rob Routledge, says Tallawang Avenue is one of the most sought-after streets in Malua Bay. “With commanding views of Malua beach and the headland, you can grab a towel and walk out of your own back gate, directly onto the beach!”

Comprising five bedrooms across two levels, Routledge says the home has been designed to utilise the top floor as a “home for two”, with the lower floor “almost selfcontained” for visiting family and friends.

“The ideal buyer is people from the city looking for a holiday away from home,” he says.

“It would also suit the larger family as there 40

is plenty of room for all with the lower level having its own large living area, complete with views to die for.”

This dream holiday abode is being offered on a ‘walk-in, walk-out’ basis, with furniture and whitegoods included. As well, the rear yard is fully fenced and there is reverse-cycle air conditioning, wall heaters and undercover entertaining spaces on both levels – perfect for enjoying the views on a summer’s eve.

“Malua Bay is a sought-after suburb around a 12-minute drive to the Batemans Bay CBD with a good selection of local shops close by and the new club is under construction,” Routledge says.

“Batemans Bay is around two hours from Canberra and around four hours from southern Sydney and has many beautiful little beaches and unique views.”

someone whose opinions differ to yours may have a valid point, so be sure to adopt an open mind this week to avoid conflict. unexpected news or a get-together early in the week may be fun. But if you’re feeling emotional, ensure you cool off to avoid taking actions you may later come to regret.

The better organised you are now, the better the outcome. otherwise, key developments at work or at home may be frustrating, even if developments are positive. There is good fortune in the stars early next week, and some lucky Aries will receive good news. opportunities at work and financially may arise, for some unexpectedly.

you’ll enjoy socialising and networking with inspiring people. maintain focus on keeping potentially intense conversations on an even keel. you like to be methodical and meticulous in your daily arrangements. sometimes, a little spontaneity is enjoyable too. you’ll welcome encouraging work news.

do you believe that people you love should always agree with you and that you should agree with them? your goals can sometimes differ, and this may be one such time. A loyal friend or a teacher will help you with financial and personal decisions. But be sure to gain expert advice if necessary too.

Would life be better if everyone agreed with each other? sometimes, a difference of opinion can be inspiring.

A friend or organisation will be in touch, and news will be significant or even intense. If you are impulsive, avoid snap decisions; you may regret it! early in the week, you’ll enjoy a fun get-together.

you are in line for positive news or a fun get-together this weekend and early in the week. Be prepared to collaborate; work talks will merit a tactful approach. If someone’s ideas are contrary to yours, be patient and base communications on facts. you may experience a financial boost, but must avoid gambling.
