From the editor What do you do to fill your cup? It’s beneficial to find something each day that sparks joy. For me, that can be as simple as that first sip of tea (ahh) or sunbeam on my face in the morning, spending time in nature, going for a walk, hearing a magpie warble, seeing someone smile …

On the flip side, we also need to empty the garbage. Some days, I have to switch off from the news (not ideal in my line of work), usually on a weekend. I detox from social media at the personal level to avoid the “haters gonna hate” (trolls gonna troll).

If you have a loved one or confidantes with whom you feel safe to share your ups and downs, I encourage you to do so. In Canberra, we’re fortunate to have access to various hotlines and support services whose people are highly trained, empathetic, willing to listen and provide assistance. Please know that help is at hand.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include our uplifting Women in Business celebration last Thursday, heartwarming catchups with friends, joy and laughter at Under the Influence starring Shortis & Simpson with Michael Simic at The Q, attending a media preview screening of British film One Life with a friend, receiving sage advice from experts, and working with wonderful colleagues. Take care,

The National Seed Bank guards seed from 4,000 Australian native plant species.

Tom North, Curator of the National Seed Bank, which is housed in a modified 1960s caretaker cottage. Construction on a proposed purpose-built $7.2 million vault is yet to start.

Unearthing Canberra’s extinction vault

F

ew Canberrans would know we have an extinction vault – a secure collection of about 8 million precious seeds that are an insurance against native plant extinction.

Plants are not as charismatic as animals (koalas get more attention) but Australia’s rate of plant extinctions stands at 36 since records began (probably more have been lost before scientists even knew they existed).

Canberra’s extinction vault is a last stand (its official government title is “National Seed Bank”).

Astonishingly, it is kept in a modified 1960s caretaker cottage at the base of Black Mountain, amongst the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG).

Wired with security alarms and temperature controls, it guards seed from 4000 plant species – 139 of which are threatened. The tiny red-brick cottage is rapidly running out of room.

It’s surprising that the future of Australia’s native flora resides in such modest accommodation. If a fire was to threaten the gardens, the seed collection that dates back to 1962 could be lost forever.

Back in 2021, the Australian Government unveiled plans for a 120 square-metre concrete vault with 50cm thick walls to withstand 6

environmental disasters such as bushfire or extreme weather. Fire retardant materials would be used along with backup generators in case of power failure.

Construction was due to begin mid-2023 year but work has yet to start.

A Parks Australia spokesperson said a design development process was completed in late 2022 and it has approached the market for construction options. “Parks Australia is assessing the responses from the tender process and will announce next steps in the coming months.”

Canberra’s extinction vault is not unlike the “doomsday seed vault” buried underground in the arctic ice near the north pole, which safeguards the world’s crops from nuclear war or global warming.

Our vault is a lifeline for Australia’s disappearing flora – Australia’s threatened plant communities are declining by 72 per cent – faster than threatened mammals.

Inside the cottage, where the 1960s kitchen and dining room once stood, is a sterile laboratory with six germination incubators and three storage freezers (-21°C). Next door is a drying room (15°C, 15 per cent relative humidity) and opposite, in an old demountable house, is an x-ray room and cleaning and packaging areas.

“The seed bank ensures that we secure seed of species under threat so that if we lose them in the wild we have the option of being able to go to the bank and germinate seedlings for return to the wild,” Tom North, Curator of the National Seed Bank, said.

Do not underestimate the value of Australia’s native flora - 84 per cent of our plants are found nowhere else in the world. Worryingly, 254 plants are at high risk of extinction (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999).

“With each passing year, the window of opportunity to collect seed is getting smaller and for some species producing seed in a drought year just doesn’t happen,” said Tom, who travels to such farflung places as Christmas Island, Kakadu National Park and Norfolk Island to collect seed.

The Bureau of Meteorology recently announced El Nino conditions and below-average rainfall for November to January.

In our own backyard, the extinction vault has revived an endangered ACT plant that was on the brink of extinction. The Tuggeranong Lignum was restricted to a single population in the Murrumbidgee River Corridor of the ACT. ANBG horticulturalists used cuttings to grow a collection of plants as a safety net for the wild population. Fruits sprouted on the plants for the first time last year, producing the first seeds for the vault’s collection.

An elusive seed they’ve yet to find is the slender parrot-pea, a trailing shrub only found in eastern subalpine regions, which were severely impacted by the 2020 bushfires. The only plants found were in remote, hard-to-access areas and when collectors found the site there were no mature seeds. If Canberrans want to help, there’s a profile on Canberra Nature Map [canberra.naturemapr.org/ species/525] where the public can add sightings.

The Australian Government investment for the proposed new $7.2 million vault includes $650,000 from public and philanthropic donations.

Alex Bunton raises red flags of an abusive relationship Coming out of retirement two years ago, professional basketballer Alexandra Bunton started using her platform to share her experience with domestic violence. It didn’t take long until she was invited to be a guest on podcasts and at media events, and then There’s No Place Like Home invited her on the show. “[They] wanted to see if I would be willing to speak a bit more in-depth about my experience and if I wanted to be open and raw in a different light,” says Ms Bunton.

Understanding that society gives athletes and celebrities a platform to speak and be heard far and wide, she says it’s a powerful tool.

The There’s No Place Like Home podcast aims to showcase the different kinds of domestic abuse so those who might be living it or know someone who is, are able to identify that it is abuse.

“It’s not just physical violence and it’s not just nonphysical violence; there are so many levels that people aren’t aware of that come under domestic violence.”

In 2019, Ms Bunton’s world changed; she retired from basketball and fell pregnant with her abusive now ex-partner. Realising she was now caring for another life is what gave her the push to seek help, accessing the services of the police and Domestic Violence Crisis Service ACT. “If you think you’re in a relationship that’s not okay, reach out in some way, whatever that may be – an email, text, phone call, talk to someone, make it your own. That’s where you’ll start to build that courage and regain that strength within yourself,” she says.

Capital Region Farmers Market to return to GIO Stadium for ‘Away Game’

T

he Capital Region Farmers Market is once again returning to GIO Stadium for their Away Game. The Market’s farmers and food producers are moving from their home ground location in Exhibition Park, and hitting the road for their one-day-only Away Game at GIO Stadium in Bruce in order to accommodate the Spilt Milk Festival. Away Game will take place on Saturday 25 November 7–11.30am.

“It’s a really big move for one weekend,” says Capital Region Farmers Market Manager, Sarah Power.

“We’re moving all our infrastructure, staff and everyone out there including our farmers and producers, plant and flower growers, along with ready-to-eat food and coffee.

“We did it last year and although a big undertaking, it was a fantastic success with many regulars and new locals coming out to discover what our market has to offer the Canberra region, buy loads of fresh produce

and enjoy the live entertainment during the morning,” Sarah says.

This year’s Away Game will offer a great range of Christmas produce such as hams, fruit mince tarts and puddings, summer fruits such as cherries and stone fruits, and plenty of vegetables including many organic varieties.

“For customers, we will also have so much meat and poultry, seafood, smallgoods, dairy and bakery treats, too,” Sarah says.

“And for spring, locals can come in for a stunning selection of fresh flowers for the home, and all their gardening needs including vegetable seedlings, potted colour, shrubs, mature trees and native plants.

“It’s a great opportunity for the residents of Bruce, Belconnen and surrounds to come and shop with us close to their homes. And we know they’ll be impressed by the range, quality and freshness of what we have to offer, and will want to add the market shop to their weekly routine when we’re back at our usual home at Exhibition Park the

Alex Bunton raises red flags of an abusive relationship (from page 8) Love bombing Ms Bunton describes love bombing as the illusion of the world being yours, that it is just you and your partner, and they tell you everything you could want to hear.

“I didn’t have any room to really feel like anything was wrong,” she says. “It’s almost like they make your world seem like it’s too good to be true. You may have those little second guesses in your mind, but it’s always backed up with them trying to shower you with words of affirmation, with gifts, like it is absolutely perfect.”

Although perfection may sound like what we want in any relationship or other aspects of life, when it is done through love bombing there is no room for fault or second guessing. The danger in love bombing is that the perpetrator is trying to influence a person with outpourings of attention and affection.

“A lot of people get stuck in that mental mindset of I think I’m making my own decisions but really, I’m not.”

Gaslighting Ms Bunton says gaslighting intertwines with love bombing with both slowly wearing the person down, especially if there is some kind of conflict.

“If something does go wrong or you get into a fight, it’s twisted in ways where it’s either your fault or the problem will be fixed by you having to apologise.”

Financial abuse Ms Bunton says usually there is a point in a relationship when finances are somewhat shared, whether it be splitting bills and rent or having a joint bank account, however, you still maintain your own independence as well.

“We miss a lot of signs where your partner may ask for money, or to borrow money or buy me this, or we are evening out the bills, or they control how much you have. I went through the experience of my ex-partner kept asking for money but then gaslighting saying ‘I’ll return it’ or ‘You’re the professional basketballer, so you have more money so you can pay for this’.”

Isolation Ms Bunton says that isolation has ties back to love bombing in the illusion that you don’t need anyone but your partner, it’s just the two of you against the world.

“If I had any issues in my life with my family or friends, it would be like ‘It’s okay, you can confide in me’ but then he would use whatever I had said against me. It would make it seem like, ‘you’re right, I don’t need to confide in anyone else; you’re my partner I will talk to you about things,” she says.

WITH BILL STEFANIAK AM RFD FORMER ACT OPPOSITION LEADER

Albo could be a oncer It’s rare for first-time governments not to be given a second term (indeed, it hasn’t happened since 1931), but there is now a real potential for that to occur to the Albanese Labor government if the Coalition play their cards right.

The Prime Minister’s recent push to speed up the transition to renewables, already under pressure from reality, will only make that possibility more likely.

It seems to be physically and financially impossible to get to 82 per cent of our energy needs powered by wind and solar by 2030. It seems we just don’t have the capacity to build the 20,000 kilometres of power lines and the thousands and thousands of solar panels and wind turbines needed to achieve this. Even with huge subsidies, the private sector seems reluctant to play, and the problems of destroying thousands of hectares of good farmland, the destruction of koala and other native animal habitat, plus the killing of whales and bird life from wind farms are turning off many Australians.

12

09 November 2023

The environmental damage of attempting to go down this path is prohibitive.

I, for one, would happily emulate our good Senator David Pocock, and lie down / chain myself to a bulldozer to stop the destruction of koala habitat or the wrecking of Australia’s food bowl. There is the further problem of being overly dependent on China for 90 per cent of our solar panels and wind turbines. (Most of which use materials mined by child slave labour and constructed by Muslim Uyghur slave labour.) Peter Dutton’s call to lift the ban on nuclear, so we can get to net zero without destroying the place in the process, now seems to be polling at over 50 per cent, as opposed to about 30 per cent against. There is the further problem of rising energy prices worsening our cost-of-living crisis: electricity prices are now hundreds of dollars a year more expensive for the average household.

Whatever happened to Albo’s election promise of $275 cheaper electricity?

If the next year brings blackouts due to

unreliable, intermittent, renewable power; further energy cost rises; destruction of food-producing areas; unhappy farmers – who may even restrict food supplies to the city (that would wake up the inner city Melbourne and Sydney latte set!); and the loss of jobs from the closure of what’s left of our manufacturing industries, you have a perfect storm for which the current Labor government and their Green and Teal mates will be rightly blamed.

The Coalition needs to forget about the inner city elite Green and Teal seats, and concentrate on the bush and the traditional outer suburban seats that voted for Labor in the past. Nearly 50 per cent of Labor voters voted “No” in the Voice referendum. It’s those same people who will suffer from the federal government’s policies, and who can become the new Howard battlers. The good old-fashioned traditional Labor voters have been abandoned by the current Labor government, and are ripe for the picking by an opposition that finally stands for something and can deliver what ordinary Australians want.

feature Queensland University of Technology Krishan Jogia, founder and managing director of Evolve&Amplify, is using the skills he learned through QUT’s Executive MBA program to expand his business globally.

The 2022 MIT Immersion Program students attended the US campus during their studies at QUT.

re you looking to take the next step in your career or a way to gain that competitive edge? Find the pathway you’re looking for with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and its Canberra-based Executive MBA program.

Consistently ranked as one of the top business schools in Australia, QUT has again this year been ranked first in Queensland and number three nationally for postgraduate studies in AFR BOSS 2023 Best Business Schools.

One of last year’s graduates of the Canberra-based Executive MBA program, Krishan Jogia, founder and managing director of Evolve&Amplify, says the course gave him the confidence to expand his business internationally.

“I always had a desire to move and diversify from just working with government clients to working with the private sector as well, looking at different regions, working internationally. Having done QUT’s Executive MBA, I had the confidence to be able to do that. I certainly learnt a bunch of new skills, particularly when it came to economics, statistics, financial remodelling, some of those more technical skills,” Mr Jogia says.

Primarily working with the federal government from a Canberra base, Mr Jogia launched his strategy and business design consultancy firm in 2019. Wanting to add an MBA to his resume, he researched options across Australia before deciding on QUT for the 2020 start date.

“At the time when I enrolled, QUT were the best and had triple international accreditation. For me, it was really important to study somewhere that had

triple international accreditation so my Executive MBA was recognised on a global level,” he says.

The two-year intensive course allows peer-to-peer collaboration through intensive study weekends, while students are taught skills that can be implemented immediately and set them up for future opportunities.

“These skills include data analysis, accounting, law and finance, but there’s also a variety of leadership units. The Executive MBA starts with leadership of self, then the relationship of self and other, and then leadership at scale,” says Associate Professor John Bensley, MBA Director at QUT. The course offers a choice of study pathways – Complex Program Leadership and Strategic Procurement or International Leadership. Catering to different aspects of leadership, both programs offer overseas experiences.

The International Leadership stream, which Mr Jogia undertook, has a strong global focus on stakeholder engagement and entrepreneurship, while learning how to best integrate emerging digital and engineering innovations into work practices. Students are invited to take part in a two-week MIT Immersion Program, which for Mr Jogia was the opportunity that cemented QUT as the pathway for him.

“MIT is all about innovation, so that stood out to me as a small business owner who helps other businesses ... It’s a brand that’s recognised, especially now that we have expanded into North America. As much as I can speak to QUT having a really good reputation and being the number one MBA provider at the time, no-one needs to ask any

questions when they see that part of my study was done at MIT,” he explains.

Canadian-born, Mr Jogia has expanded his business abroad, relocating to Toronto this year.

Already securing contracts in North America, he credits diversification and adaptability as key skills for reaching a global market.

While Evolve&Amplify offers a very specific service and methods that give them a unique edge, they also require a diverse portfolio in different regions to continue growing.

“This type of thinking was really borne out of my MBA experience. You step back and you say, ‘Hey, Australia constitutes less than two per cent global GDP, if we really want to grow, we need to be playing in the other 98 per cent’.”

No longer restricted to his little pond, Mr Jogia says Canada offers access to potential clients across North America and, with the UK just being a seven-hour flight, that market has also been opened.

During the pandemic, he accessed the international market via Zoom, however, as the world readjusted, he knew this wouldn’t last.

“It made me realise you’re really as good as the projects you’ve done in your last year or so. If we didn’t have a physical presence outside of Australia, then all that hard work we had done building up those case studies is becoming irrelevant pretty soon,” he says.

Acknowledging that undertaking an MBA is a commitment, Mr Jogia says the practical lessons from lived experience experts outweighed any potential discomfort and initial output for him.

“If you’re a Canberra person looking to expand, you’ve got to be willing to endure discomfort and be uncomfortable in the unknown … You’re going to have a million reasons to say no and you just need one really strong reason to say yes. If fear is the only thing holding you back, it isn’t a good enough reason.”

Bringing First Nations art and flavours to Canberra Young Ngambri, Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri man, Byamee Williams is infusing the Canberra region and beyond with his First Nations artworks and with native flavours delivered through his catering company.

Coming from a culture that has been around for thousands of years, Mr Williams says he is fortunate to have been taught by those who came before him about the lands, customs and stories of his people. The delivery of these teachings is often through art and storytelling; he says continuing art helps to keep culture alive.

“Art is everywhere in our culture; through ceremony, we paint ourselves, depict the animals that were dancing and telling stories about, the old rock paintings or rock caves.

Art has been an integral part of our culture for passing on knowledge and holding on to knowledge and expressing ourselves,” he says.

Believing everyone should understand the long and complex history of our county, Mr Williams says that art helps spread the message that people were here pre-colonisation.

Teaching children about different styles of art is an interactive way to learn about the rich history of Australia.

“Art is a way that embraces our culture and is a good way for everyone to maybe learn something through the stories in the art,” he says.

During this year’s winter school holidays, Mr Williams teamed up with Junior Landcare to create colouring-in templates for school-aged children to educate them about our country.

“I chose to do the kangaroo and emu or Bandharr and Dhinawan in Wiradjuri language … The Dhinawan and Bandharr are significant totems. The Dhinawan in the Sky refers to when you can see the emu or the egg it’s the

news (from page 14) Like his father and grandfather, Mr Williams is a skilled painter whose elders taught him their styles. He can often be found at his Pop’s house in Queanbeyan as the pair work on projects alongside each other.

While art has deep meaning for Mr Williams and he appreciates that he can make some income from the venture, at the end of the day he wants to be a successful businessman.

His catering company is called Native Fusion. Growing up, Mr Williams was always in the kitchen watching, learning and then cooking. Toying with the idea of opening a café or restaurant, he decided to dive straight into a catering business, however, they deliver more than just delicious food to events they provide for.

“I’m going to try and bring a cultural experience with the flavours of food to Canberra,” he says. “We want to bring a nice platter and set up a nice thing and give some informative information and consult about what people are actually eating.”

Heading bush to collect some supplies, Mr Williams says a lot of the ingredients are hard to come by as they haven’t been commercialised yet and there is a lack of farms or set-ups. He travels in search of the perfect flavours, which he often finds by linking up with other mobs.

“It’s a very big challenge to get all our ingredients because we can’t just go down to Woolworths and get everything, I have to shop all over New South Wales a little bit.”

Harking back to the flavours his ancestors would have been accustomed to, Mr Williams says they wouldn’t have known lettuce, broccoli, and a wide range of fruits. While bush tucker is becoming more mainstream, he wanted to showcase the beautiful flavours of his country that no one really knows about.

“I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter about native ingredients all over the country and they’re starting to make their way into a lot of high-end restaurants,” he says.

Mr Williams wanted to see a First Nations person at the forefront of the movement rather than a celebrity chef or chain. He says that is about more than flavours, as there is a deep

It is wonderful that our ACT government has policies for Zero Emissions, protects those renting, helps the ageing and attempts to curb rising costs, especially electricity.

It is therefore surprising that the responsible Minister has refused to extend the Home Energy Support Program HESP, which subsidises the purchase of solar panels, to those who live in rental properties such as retirement villages.

Re: Bill Stefaniak ‘Putting the Middle East conflict in context’ (CW 26 October).

In his utterly biased and unsubstantiated piece, Bill declares that the “British promised Israel to the Jews”, as though Palestine was a parcel of British uninhabited land, and then proceeds to proclaim that “in 1948, Israel declared independence from Britain”, ignoring how imperial Britian in the early 19th century encouraged a large-scale Jewish migration from all over the world – especially eastern Europe – to displace and replace indigenous Palestinians. The same British Empire turned a blind eye to the terrorist Zionist organisations such as the Irgun and Haganah which inflicted unspeakable horrors against the Palestinians and were later absorbed into the Israeli Defence Force.

Hence, every so-called “Independence Day”, over 12 million Palestinians in diaspora mark their Nakba, or “catastrophe”, as the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the near-total decimation of the

Palestinian social fabric. This was not independence from Britain, rather it was an occupier handing Palestine to another occupier.

Bill says Hamas has surpassed even the Nazis, and I’m not sure whether he is insulting our intelligence or the victims of the Holocaust. I wonder then, how could we properly describe the atrocities of the Israeli army who killed over 8,000 civilians in Gaza (and counting), most of them women and minors. Not to mention the inhumane siege of Gazan people for more than 16 years.

Senator Price deserves respect

Douglas Mackenzie (CW 26 October) like many on the Labor and Green side, seems to have some fear of Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price. Is this because she doesn’t preach to their side of politics or is it because they are jealous they don’t have a strong, articulate, female, Indigenous equivalent? Labor’s Linda Burney proved during the Voice debate that she was no match for Senator Price; Burney fumbled her words and had trouble answering honestly any questions put at her.

I say this because Douglas Mackenzie does not give any relevant reasons why Senator Price would not make a good Prime Minister. I am sure if Price was on the Labor/Green side of politics they would be fawning all over and giving her plenty of respect, which they seem to have trouble doing. I look forward to the day people like Douglas Mackenzie eat humble pie. The sooner the better.

Monday’s Scorpio new moon signifies a fresh chapter in your personal life. It’s all change and you may even be surprised by someone’s news. It’s a good week for romance, a reunion and a trip, so be sure to organise events.

As you turn a corner at work or health-wise, the spirit of adventure is with you, so travel and new ideas will appeal. You may meet someone inspiring. If you tend to overspend, be sure to ditch the credit card for now.

You’ll feel bolder in your selfexpression and socialising and networking could even open a new door either at work or in your personal life. An impromptu or out-of-the-ordinary development may even surprise you towards Monday’s new moon.

A change is in the air – for some at work; for others at home and financially. A change of place or of pace will revitalise, but may require a little flexibility. Some Aquarians will have a financial boost, but must avoid overspending.

This is a good week to invest in your favourite activities and selfdevelopment. You’ll turn a corner via travel, study and, for some, even via legal matters. Be sure to keep communications simple to avoid misunderstandings, especially towards Monday.

Monday’s new moon brings a fresh phase concerning the way you share a duty or finances. While news may be unexpected and presents a conundrum, rest assured you’ll find a solution. A spontaneous event could be revitalising. Avoid overspending.

You’ll enjoy a new experience over the next few days and being spontaneous with your favourite activities. Romance could thrive.

Be prepared to see a business or personal relationship in a new light, as you may be surprised by developments this week.

There will be unexpected benefits to going with the flow – within reason. Your usual daily routine is likely to change unexpectedly.

You may need to set a fresh pace.

A fresh chapter in your personal life will begin for some Twins.

Developments may be out of the ordinary, but you will find ways to settle into circumstances. A link to an organisation may lead to new opportunities. Monday’s new moon will kickstart a fresh chapter at home, with family or property.

You’ll enjoy socialising and romance.

A spontaneous event may appeal, even if you must adjust your routine.

A trip or visit will breathe new dynamics into your week. Monday’s new moon will encourage you to turn a corner in a relationship.

Monday’s new moon points to a fresh financial phase. You may be surprised by developments regarding shared finances, such as joint finances, debt or taxes.

Someone who can be erratic may surprise you again, so rely on good communication skills.

Developments involving finances or your personal life are best considered long-term. Someone has a surprise and passions could soar, so keep your feet on the ground.

You’ll appreciate the opportunity to plan changes at home or with family.

Turn the fillets, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the skin and strip in quite a few thyme leaves (leaving a few branches whole), then lower the heat and add the olives and the wine.

Let the wine evaporate a bit and cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.

Turn the fillets over again and scatter a little salt and pepper over the top. Add the lemon and orange juice to the pan and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, until the sauce is thick and a bit syrupy but still quite abundant. Scatter the lemon and orange zest over the fish and put a sprig of thyme on top of each.

Rock the pan so the fragrance mingles into the sauce. Scatter the parsley over and remove from the heat. Serve hot.

Luke and Tim make a movie for Canberra Short Film Festival After years of watching movies and discussing how they could do it better, Luke McWilliams and Tim Stiles decided to put their money where their mouths were and make a movie. Just a year later, the pair have not one, but two short films set to screen at the Canberra Short Film Festival later this month.

While watching guilty-pleasure, low-grade horror movies on Shudder, Tim would say they could make what was on screen, then Luke would reply that they could make something better. Tired of having the same conversation, they decided to actually pull the pin, and start with something short.

“A short film is anywhere between three minutes to half an hour, but a bad seven-minute short film can drag. I thought we’d just cut our teeth on short films first for festival entry to learn, and if it’s good, obviously it’s going to be seen, and if it’s not good, no one is ever going to see it,” says Luke.

Walking before running, the pair completed

canberradaily.com.au

their first short film, Performance Review, in time for it to be entered into the CSFF, which was their original goal. The office comedy-horror encapsulates the feeling of being trapped in a bad environment at work.

“We’ve both been in really toxic workplaces and have tried to cope with that by making art. It starts off looking like it’s a performance review, but nothing is as it seems,” says Tim. The next film, Fallen Stars, was made as part of the Smith’s Alternative portion of the film festival.

It is three minutes long and made on a guerrilla budget. The short flick highlights the impact of bullying and the minimisation and normalisation of abuse.

“Basically, an old hero and his arch-nemesis bump into each other years later. It touches on meeting your high school bully and facing your bully who may not even recognise he was a bully,” says Luke.

Both men may work in offices during the day, but they are creatives at heart; Tim is an

Meet the man bringing Madonna mania to CMAG

Jerry Kirbell shares a portion of his memorabilia in Madonna40: A Celebration at Canberra Museum and Gallery until 3 March 2024.

From dominating the airwaves to sex symbol status and Academy Award nominations, Madonna has done it all. Following the star from (nearly) the start, Jerry Kirbell has been along for the ride, picking up memories that he shares in Madonna40: A Celebration at Canberra Museum and Gallery until 3 March 2024.

The year was 1984, Jerry was 11 years old, and Madonna had her first billboard hit in the UK. She became his newest fascination, one that 40 years later is still as alive as ever. He remembers cutting pictures of her from Smash Hits magazines and recording her songs on his cassette player when listening to the charts on a Sunday night.

“That to me was when it started, I discovered I needed to make more money so I would go around the neighbourhood and ask people if I could clean their cars. Every Saturday I’d be going up into town just buying whatever I could,” says Jerry.

Those magazine cutouts and cassette recordings were the beginning of his collection;

the first piece he specifically bought was close to home.

“We had an indoor market and probably about a year after I discovered her, a second-hand record store opened and every now and again, he would get Madonna records.

That was when I first started consciously buying.”

From that first find, Jerry has hunted high and low for the items in his collection. He scours online sites and specific collector sites, visits record shops and markets, and has even been known to send mail to the record company that signed Madonna.

“Their marketing department used to send me things. There’s nowhere that I won’t try and find stuff.”

Moving to Australia in 2015, Jerry had to pack up his loved collection and sent around 30 packing cases on a ship which took three months to arrive.

“We sold pretty much most of our possessions anyway, but the Madonna stuff I refused to sell, that had to come with me.”

canberradaily.com.au

When they arrived, Jerry didn’t turn his house into a Madonna museum, in fact, he only has two pieces on display at home.

“It sounds tragic, but I don’t actually listen to Madonna that much. I don’t see it because it’s all in boxes under beds and in garages. I just love collecting, I love the hunt of it all. Don’t get me wrong, I think she is the greatest female performer there’s ever been but I’m also into other artists as well.”

More than the actual item itself, it is the memory associated with it that he values, such as a moment in time, an interaction, or getting into a show that seemed impossible until a stranger gave them a hint. It is this flood of warmth and happiness associated with the memories that he hopes visitors will also experience.

“I like the idea that people are going to have memories, no matter what they are; whether it’s of her or a Bond film that they saw or the fact that they used to read Smash Hits,” says Jerry.

Jerry has tried to step away from his Madonna fascination but always failed, saying she always comes back with something that ignites

something in him. Never knowing what to expect, he is always surprised.

“She’s got a real ear for things and she’s got a real eye for things and she seems to pick up on trends before they even occur. It is something that Madonna has; she might not be the best singer or dancer but she’s just got an eye and an ear for the next big thing and people pick up that.”

Remaining in the spotlight for decades is partly the media’s doing, explains Jerry. With her every turn, they haven’t been able to stop talking about Madonna. Even now, she can still make a headline without trying.

“She’s fantastic! It’s too easy to criticise the way she is now; I choose to look at what she’s achieved, also what she’s achieving now is still incredible. There isn’t another performer that I can think of that can do the shows that she does and get the headlines in the way she does,” says Jerry.

Book talk This week, Jeff Popple reviews three very good crime reads.

More of Jeff’s reviews can be found on his blog, murdermayhemandlongdogs.com Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly

Allen & Unwin, $32.99 Michael Connelly is one of the world’s best crime writers, and a new release from him is always a highlight. His latest, Resurrection Walk, is billed as a ‘Lincoln Lawyer Thriller’, but it also features the iconic Harry Bosch in a major role. The story revolves around the efforts of Bosch and his half-brother, Mickey Haller, to prove that the ex-wife of a LA sheriff’s deputy was wrongly jailed for his murder four years ago. Combining taut plotting with well-crafted characters and entertaining courtroom scenes, Resurrection Walk is a terrific crime thriller that builds to a suspenseful climax. Highly recommended.

Summer of Blood by Dave Warner

Fremantle, $32.99 Los Angeles also features in Dave Warner’s Summer of Blood. In this long-awaited sequel to Big Bad Blood, two Sydney detectives head to America in 1967 to find the missing son of a friend of the police minister. As they scour the back streets of LA and San Francisco, they become immersed in the world of new music, drugs, free love and hippie counterculture, and find themselves on the trail of a serial killer. Told in a stripped down, staccato style, Summer of Blood is a twisty tale full of vivid imagery, violence, moral ambiguity and some astute reflections on the 1960s.

I Am Already Dead by David Whish-Wilson

Fremantle, $34.99 Fremantle-based David Whish-Wilson does not enjoy the attention that other crime writers receive, but his tough noir tales are among the best crime fiction being produced in Australia today. I Am Already Dead is set in Perth in 1993 and features trainee private investigator Lee Southern, who finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and escalating violence when he agrees to investigate a series of bribery attempts against a wealthy entrepreneur. Well written and totally gripping, with a memorable cast of characters, it moves along at a rapid rate to the bloody and surprising climax. Superior crime writing.

CAPO 2023 Art Auction

Robert Boynes Heartbeat 2

WIN! Cat Person film passes

A disgraced journalist (Lily Sullivan) housesits her affluent parent’s home while they are away to concentrate on producing a podcast in the hope of salvaging her career. Soon, an email comes through, compelling the ‘Interviewer’ to investigate the strange appearances of mysterious little black bricks.

Shot in the Adelaide Hills, the movie is a psychological sci-thriller in the mould of classic H.P. Lovecraft. Our Interviewer embarks on a journey that takes her to the edge of her sanity, investigating cases of mysterious appearances of small black bricks that cause their owners to experience existential feelings of dread, nausea and possibly disturbing hallucinations.

Like the podcast Video Palace and the series Archive 81, electronic audio is used as a lo-fi device for the transmission of horror and for isolating

more paranoid with each passing episode.

Lead Lily Sullivan dominates the frame as the only actor present throughout. Starting off uneasy due to her recent professional disgrace, the Interviewer progressively invests more of herself into this new story in the hopes of re-establishing herself as a respected journalist in search of the truth, over her professional duty to procedure. At first, confined to a podcaster’s desk, Lily soon uses the sparse setting as a stage as the movie becomes increasingly more cinematic using mixed media and sound design to their full creative potential.

Verdict: An incredibly intriguing chiller that keeps you on the edge of your seat like a good episodic podcast should. 4.5 stars.

Face framing:

Sunglasses to suit your face shape

Sunglasses are recommended during the summer season to protect our sensitive seeing tools from harmful UV radiation and the drying effects of the wind. Keep your peepers protected while looking your best with our guide to buying shades for your face shape.

Oval

Rectangle

The most sought-after face shape, you can rock whatever style you want, so why not make a statement with something fun like an Aviator or square lens?

Small frames will make your face look longer. Try a thick and strong brow line that draws attention to your eyes. Trapezoids and rounded frames will also flatter.

Terrace sunglasses in foundation $199.95, Mimco

Jacqemus Baci sunglasses $595, marias.com.au

WITH FASHION & BEAUTY EDITOR, JESSICA CORDWELL

Round

Square

Heart

Diamond

You want to add angles and edge to your soft face. Try something sharp and bold with a rectangular or square frame or a classic cat eye.

Opt for a curve and no sharp edges to help soften any angular features. Oval, round and thin rimless glasses are all great choices.

There are no frames you have to avoid, it’s more about what you want to highlight or balance. Cat eye can help balance a wide forehead and soften a pointed chin.

Avoid small lenses that make your cheekbones look too sharp. Cat eye frames can draw attention to cheekbones, while round and oval frames complement them.

real estate

property of the week

Impressive family entertainer Hawker 16 Kulgera Street Extensively renovated, this beautifully presented five-bedroom home in Hawker offers abundant living and entertaining space for the modern family.

For agent Treston Bamber, his favourite things about this property are that it’s move-in ready, energy-efficient, offers “loads of natural light” and has a family-friendly layout.

“The floor plan works really well for families,” he says, “with separate areas for kids to play while parents relax or socialise and entertain.”

The well-designed, extended floorplan comprises a large living and dining room, a separate kids’ rumpus room or media room, an open plan kitchen, meals and family area, and a study that could be used as a fifth bedroom.

Parents will love the private main bedroom 36

09 November 2023

that’s separate from the other rooms and boasts a luxury ensuite and walk-in robe.

The remaining three bedrooms all have built-in robes and are serviced by a fully-tiled family bathroom.

Mr Bamber says the property is beautifully finished, modern, and “completely renovated to create an entertainer’s delight!” And he describes the location as ideal.

“16 Kulgera is located in a wonderful suburb full of trees and greenery and situated on a family-friendly street,” he says. “It’s in close proximity to local schools, playgrounds and shops for all your everyday needs.”

Arrange an inspection and be prepared for this to be love at first sight.
