I am a game and quiz show lover from way back, and I was so excited to hear that one of my favourites, The Weakest Link, is returning to screens very soon. There’s something to be said for the comfort of a known quantity, and Weakest Link delivers that in spades. This week, we chat with Magda Szubanski, a comedy legend and the host of the new version. She’s planning to bring a dash of comedy to the role, which sounds similar to the US reboot, where actor Jane Lynch took over the role. Note to TV programmers: Wheel of Fortune and Sale of the Century next, please! ●

T

he Paris end of Collins Street, known for its heritage buildings, luxury boutiques and dining, now has a new precinct where late-night bar-hopping, high-end retail and spontaneous good times give us reason to look up and smile.

At 80 Collins you’ll find luxury jewellery and eyewear designer Senir Besim, sustainable shoe label Feit, and the flagship stores of Golden Goose and Saint Laurent – the label’s first in Australia.

It’s also the home of Chris Lucas’ two soon-to-open restaurants Yakimono and Society, where Farmer’s Daughter has neatly settled in and where our city’s first cellar door – Handpicked Wines – has arrived.

According to Woods Bagot principal architect Peter Miglis, 80 Collins is about embracing the existing streetscape and adding pavilion-like entry points that work as a homage to the prized corner.

Elements woven into the architecture include the 1800s street lamps, which inspired the faceted glass in the new South Tower.

About 20 retail and dining experiences are coming. Many are now open, including Next Hotel, which has a discreet entry on Little Collins Street and where artisanal retail is the point of difference.

Senir Besim’s elegant and minimalist store is all about quality jewellery inspired by Ottoman architecture. “I see my designs as artworks that exist outside the seasonality of fashion but enhance a fashionable wardrobe,” he says.

A charming nod to a bygone era in murder mystery style is present at Nick & Nora’s bar. This is where you’re encouraged to pull up a stool or book a booth and step back into a 1930s speakeasy.

It’s all dark timber and velvet from the team behind city cocktail bar Eau de Vie. The venue is inspired by fictional couple Nick and Nora Charles, who appear in the comedy-mystery 1930s novel The Thin Man. The menu is sorted into flavour profiles based on characters, from the Glamour Girls to the Hollywood Detective.

The Golden Goose store on Collins Street embraces the history of Le Louvre.

Aussie brothers Tull and Josh Price bring their luxury footwear from NYC to the precinct. Feit is all about sustainable handmade shoes.

“A bricks and mortar store is the best way for us to wholly express what we do,” says Josh. “All our products are entirely hand-made using the best natural materials available and this is best experienced in a physical store.

Italian designer-sneaker powerhouse Golden Goose takes over the former Le Louvre space with the introduction of a retail LAB offering. “From the very beginning we embraced the idea of taking over a location so rich in history, such as the iconic Le Louvre,” says Golden Goose Asia Pacific chief executive Mauro Maggioni, who comes to the house after seven years at Zegna. ●

COVER STORY

M

agda Szubanski is known for making us laugh – not least as Mrs Hoggett in the movie Babe, or the legendary sportloving Sharon Strzelecki in Kath & Kim, with an Australia Post stamp to prove it – and the cheekiness continues in her new role as a quiz show host in a reboot of The Weakest Link.

“It’s like a quiz show combined with Survivor,” says Szubanski, already two weeks into filming the 10-episode season, which airs soon on Nine.

“I’ll be giving it a cheeky stir as the host, and it’s really the gamesmanship that makes it fun. And who doesn’t love a general-knowledge quiz show; you can never have enough of it.

“I love that the show is made in Melbourne, and I have a regular routine again.”

Born in Liverpool, Britain, Szubanski migrated to Australia as a five-year-old with her Polish-Scottish parents and two siblings, arriving in Bayswater in 1965 during a stinking summer heatwave that she still remembers.

“Melbourne is where I have my deep roots,” the 60-year-old says. “Being dislocated when I was five meant that a part of me never wants to establish a new life anywhere else. This is really home.

“Close family friends I have known since I was five and 10 years old are still in my world, and I love that connection.”

Szubanski might be one of Australia’s more successful comedians, showing us her funny side since the ’80s, but away from the gags exists a quiet and shy human. Her 2015 book, Reckoning, is proof of just that, articulating her experience of intergenerational trauma, coming out as a lesbian and accepting herself after years of therapy.

She doesn’t shy from showing her feelings in public, either: she was brought to tears in an interview with Andrew Denton in 2018 when speaking of the loss of her mother, while a Wheeler Centre talk saw her speak candidly about weight issues, identity, her father’s past as a protector of Jews and assassin in World War II and finding a way to accept herself despite the internal and external criticism that came her way.

“I was one of the fortunate people who could have that conversation with my father about the war and write about it,” Szubanski says.

“I love writing, and my mum and dad were great storytellers and really funny. I guess it’s just me carrying on that tradition, really.”

Her comedy footprint began in the mid’80s with The D Generation. Success continued through the 1990s on Fast Forward and Big Girl’s Blouse, with many of those sketches still found on YouTube. These days you’ll find her writing children’s books (Timmy the Ticked Off

Pony), on Twitter in the name of a good cause, crowdfunding for bushfire victims, teaming with “Egg Boy” Will Connolly to launch Regeneration: Creative Arts for Mental Health and Wellbeing, and preferring to keep her charity work under the radar.

“I have always been a doer,” says Szubanski.

“When I was in grade five, I started a school newspaper and wrote my own plays. I have always been a self-starter. I don’t wait for someone to offer me a job; I go out and start something myself. I work with friends to create something. But that’s one side of me.

“The other thing that is important to me is trying to do my bit for the community in any way I can. It’s a strong impulse I have and something I care for

deeply. I really like people, but many celebrities have a social conscience – just look at the Carrie Bickmores of the world; there are many who do great stuff.”

When COVID-19 hit, Szubanski found herself unable to go back to New Zealand to continue filming on the hit comedy series Educators with director Jackie van Beek (from The Breaker Upperers). The scenes she had filmed prior to border closures couldn’t be used, but while she couldn’t travel, Szubanski took care of herself in other ways.

“I spent more time looking after myself a bit better by doing more meditation,” she says. “It made me reflect and tend to my old trauma wounds a bit better. Slowing down will do that. I was also deep in

a writing phase with children’s books, so it worked out for me in that way.”

Szubanski says she’s often stopped in the street by her fans – with many keen to talk about Kath & Kim, which she stopped filming in 2007. The character of Sharon re-emerged last year in state government TV commercials urging Victorians to mask-up during lockdown and reminding us of her hilarious take on sporting fanaticism.

“That show just won’t die. You couldn’t kill it if you tried,” Szubanski says. “A whole new generation is discovering it again. Parents put their kids on it, and the cycle goes on. I had a lady come up to me recently who went through years of chemotherapy and whose boyfriend gave her Kath & Kim DVDs to make her laugh; so I guess it really is true that laughter is the best medicine.” ● THE WEAKEST LINK \ Premieres Tuesday, May 4 on Nine.

OUT FOR DINNER

Fifty tastes of Gray

I

CARMEN ZAMMIT

f you frequent Melbourne's wonderful wine bars – think Etta, Embla, Marion, Congress and Carlton Wine Room – Gray and Gray Bread and Wine (GGBW) is a revelation. While others serve produce-driven, mod Euro-Australian cuisine, GGBW plates Georgian-Russian nosh.

It's an early call, but it's a contender for my favourite meal of 2021.

The name comes from the former tenant, a legal firm established in the 1930s. The original gold leaf sign remains, and the office-y vertical blinds are a nice touch. GGBW is dimly lit and romantic, but light streams from the pass where Boris Portnoy, previously a three-Michelin-star pastry chef,

assembles a $60 four-course tasting menu with lockdown condiments: pickles and bread from his next-door bakery, All Are Welcome.

The bread course arrives with three “fats” (cultured butter, cured lard and Russian sheep's milk cheese called brinza), along with lacto-

C O U LI B IAC O F SA L M O N WIT H S O R R E L

fermented, beet-stained dill cucumbers and Georgian pickled green tomatoes. Mackerel replaces herring in a pickled fish dish called selyodka. Grilled ox tongue is skewered with buzhenina (Russian roast pork) on tart blood-plum sauce. Boris shares vegetables from his garden and house-made cheese. Three kitchen timers are set to 45 minutes, 90 minutes and three hours to keep on top of prep.

The main event is coulibiac, a puff-pastry salmon pie bursting with buckwheat, mushrooms, spinach and a hard-boiled egg that takes three days to make. To finish, All Are Welcome's medovik is 10 layers of Tasmanian leatherwood honey-biscuit decadence alternating with dulce de leche Swiss buttercream. Makovy, a poppy seed-fig torte, sends you over the edge in the best way.

Co-owner and winemaker Mitch Sokolin looks after the drinks department. Try Georgian wine and uncommon bottles from Europe, then continue your education with a bottle from the small retail section on the way out. ●

Kindred spirits The story of three mates with a gin-fuelled dream.

F

ortune favours the brave. That’s how Four Pillars co-founder and gin distiller Cameron Mackenzie puts it when he discusses the inception of his global, multimillion-dollar gin empire.

It’s a story that’s been repeated tenfold: a lack in demand for a tired product that once reigned supreme is given new life by an up and coming brand, set to do things differently.

But here is a story of three friends – Mackenzie, Stuart Gregor and Matt Jones – with a passion for gin and Australian botanicals, who sought to redefine the clear spirit.

Since 2013, the three crusaders have committed to crafting the best gin they’ve ever tasted.

Wo r d s

“We also didn’t want to make an ‘Australiana’ gin. We really liked this idea of ‘Modern Australia’ and we spent 18 months on our first gin, trying to make sure we were comfortable that the gin was gin and not just a weird flavoured vodka.”

Mackenzie represented Australia at

“Our point of difference ... was to try to identify what modern Australia was.”

Eight years on, Four Pillars is a globally recognised name.

“Our point of difference from the beginning was to try to identify what modern Australia was. We didn’t want to make London Dry Gin; the world didn’t need another gin like that made by three bald Australian blokes,” laughs Mackenzie.

the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the 4x400m relay. After hanging up his running shoes, he delved into the world of wine, working alongside renowned Australian winemaker Rob Dolan at St Huberts and Yarra Ridge.

But over time, Mackenzie found himself sitting at a desk and he realised he wanted to get his hands

dirty once again. This time, however, he would focus on a spirit that had been somewhat forgotten – gin.

“Stuart Gregor and I were mates for a long time and we hatched a little plan to set up a small distillery so I could make small batches of gin. “[Stuart and Matt] had a lot more experience dealing with premium luxury goods – in particular, spirits – so they said, ‘Let’s set up a craft business and, if it goes well, we can scale it without affecting quality.’”

A M AT T E R O F TA S T E

J O S H B OZ I N

That was 2013. Today, Four Pillars has entered full “global domination mode”. Alongside an ambitious $6 million redevelopment of its Healesville distillery, doubling its capacity to accommodate more than 250,000 visitors a year, the company plans to continue experimenting with Australian botanicals.

In December, their obsession with crafting impeccable gin was rewarded with being honoured as the World’s Best Gin Producer for the second consecutive year at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London – considered by many to be the highest honour in the industry.

“I think fortune favours the brave … we’ve always been ambitious and we’ve preempted those growth phases by ensuring we have capacity to continue to make to the standard we want to make.” ●

FEATURE HOUSE SOUTH YARRA \ 47 KENSINGTON ROAD 5

From its first day – when it was the driveway to an 1840s mansion – Kensington Road has always attracted artistic types. Its first residents, Mr and Mrs Hobson, were talented botanical artists. Frederick McCubbin painted his final work, The Lime Tree, in 1917 at his home at the end of the street.

With such powerful historical vibes, it’s not surprising that someone saw beauty in a pair of shabby townhouses at number 47.

That canny developer made sense of the mid-century muddle, transforming them into a single family home of seven communal areas, marble bathrooms and easy breezy chic. The flow across pale timber floors through interlinked rooms and out to a vine-clad pergola seems to reassure the weary mind that all will be well, that there will always be this retreat to a cool, green glade.

The two-storey house has a Georgian-style simplicity. It stands well back from the street with a paved courtyard in front, single garage to the right and side entry to the left.

The old-school spacious foyer has a powder room, coat cupboard and staircase. Stroll through to the living room, which has a gas fireplace and french doors to the front courtyard.

The study (with big bookcases) and dining room – more like lightly delineated spaces – open to side courtyard gardens. Just off the dining room is a cellar with a Vintec fridge.

There’s plentiful party space in the open plan, where the family and meals area spills into the pergola. In the kitchen, wall ovens and a De’Longhi coffee machine look smart amid
