When a relationship hits the rocks, friends gather, nursing beers or sav blancs, to therapeutically unpick the “how” and the “why”. When Karl Stefanovic and his wife split, they endured an inquisition that made the Spanish one look soft. The Today cohost spoke to journalist Luke Dennehy about finding love again – one of the most basic human pursuits – under intense scrutiny, and how something so natural has been subjected to the most unnatural sort of pressure. Get to know more about one of Australia’s most recognisable faces in this week’s feature story. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am JJustine Clarke ” … and I’m a Play School presenter My first time on Play School was in November

1999. I was one of the lucky few that got an audition. I’d wanted to go on the show since I was old enough to think I could do it. I thought that was about 17, but it turned out it wasn’t until I was 28. I hounded my agent for years.

I grew up watching Benita Collings and Noni Hazlehurst, John Hamblin and Don Spencer; all extraordinary performers. When Play School turned 40 I met them all, and that was really special.

There were always kids around me. My mother ran a creche when I was in preschool. One of my other jobs when I wasn’t acting was babysitting. I always really enjoyed the company of preschoolers.

Play School is a gentle show, but in order to achieve that you’ve got to work at a really quick pace. The crew has to work very quickly – you have to know your lines and be prepared. Time is taken over the script; every word is scrutinised. The foundations of the show are still very strong and the early childhood advisors all have multiple degrees.

We film it in 10-minute segments where there’s maybe a story, two or three songs, and some craft.

It’s informed my other performing, actually – it teaches you to focus.

Some presenters can do up to 10 episodes in a year. I’m going in for an episode later this year (with a busy schedule with other projects, including the national Silly Songs Tour Tour, at Hamer Hall on September 23).

On Play School you’re performing to a camera, but on tour I’ll be singing and dancing with about 1500 people. It’s the songs from the new album The Justine Clarke Show!

We’ll hopefully be getting everybody dancing and singing. Performing live is really the pay-off. I love how involved the kids want to be in the show, and I love hearing them.

With Play School, people don’t realise that there’s no security about it; it’s not a regular job at all. I never expect to get another call. I always think that could be the last one.

My favourite character? You can’t tell the others, but I’m just going to come out and say it – it’s Humpty. I love the shape of him, I love the way his hair moves ... he’s got the silliest grin on his face.

But they’re all just so great to be around. ●

COVER STORY

I

t’s at home that Karl Stefanovic truly feels safe – away from the spotlight, the prying eyes of the paparazzi, and the judgment from the viewers of the Today show that have watched him every morning for 14 years.

In the past two of those years, Stefanovic has rarely been out of the headlines – a lot of it for his personal life, which has seemed to be fair game.

First, it was revealed in October, 2016, that he had split from his wife of 21 years and mother to his three children, Cassandra Thorburn.

Then a year later, as his divorce continued to be scrutinised in the women’s magazines, Stefanovic, 43, met shoe designer Jasmine Yarbrough, 34.

The pair have had a commitment ceremony and will marry later this year – Stefanovic says a venue hasn’t yet been decided.

He admits the constant scrutiny, which has led to reams of column inches, is at times bruising and that in the past it has nearly broken him.

“I keep having to reassure myself not everyone thinks that, and I don’t think anyone is that interested in me,” he says.

“I can’t control much of the coverage. But as long as in my house, in my home, Jasmine and I are in love, we are open with each other and I can talk about anything with her, that’s my safe environment.”

Stefanovic was engaged in media commitments over lunch at one of his favourite restaurants in Melbourne, Crown’s Rockpool, not long after the

divorce became public, and he seemed shellshocked. Everyone at the time had an opinion on his divorce including, reportedly, some female viewers of Today who had sided with Thorburn and were consequently turning off.

During that time, Stefanovic says he had the support of some very high-profile Melburnians.

“Eddie and Carla (McGuire) have been amazing friends for me,” he says.

“When you go through difficulties, and I’m not saying I’m a martyr in that regard, people turn up, and they did just that.

“I just think they are wonderful. I’ve got some wonderful friends down here.”

One day Stefanovic could see the Today show permanently moving to Melbourne.

“There is no better or brilliant TV place,” he says.

Every time he comes to Melbourne, Stefanovic usually stays in the same room at Crown and in the bubble of the restaurants, away from the paparazzi.

A year after that Rockpool lunch, the headlines are still relentless, but Stefanovic says this time he is in a much happier place because of Yarbrough. But the pair are unlikely to hit a red carpet together. At the Logies on the Gold Coast earlier this month, Yarbrough was there but stayed away from the televised red carpet because it was too full on.

“No one should feel sorry for us in any way shape or form, but she has had to deal with a lot,” he says.

“It wouldn’t be easy coming into Karl Stefanovic’s world, but I’m enjoying being in her world.

“I can’t control much of the coverage. But as long as in my house, in my home, Jasmine and I are in love ... that’s my safe environment.”

Reading between the headlines Karl Stefanovic usually breaks the news, but is now one of Australia’s most talked-about people. The Today show co-host puts the rumours to rest.

“She is a breath of fresh air, [and] she’s incredibly strong. She just makes me cry with laughter every day.”

After a period as Nine’s US correspondent, Stefanovic started working as the co-host on Today when he was 30. It’s an age now that seems ridiculously young for such a high-profile television role. He has covered royal weddings, presidential inaugurations, a number of Australian elections, tsunamis, bushfires and terror attacks.

The story that affected him most was the Nice terror attack in July, 2016, where 87 people - many children - died after a truck drove into a crowd.

“It took me a long time to get over that one,” he says. “I remember standing there and this kid brought up a colouring-in piece of paper, and put it down at the memorial.

“I started crying, and I didn’t stop.”

He insists journalists, including himself, aren’t robots when it comes to coping with stories. “I think as journalists, you have to be really aware of the toll it can take and I think it’s OK to speak to someone and work through the emotions,” he says.

Stefanovic has worked with numerous Today cohosts, including Tracy Grimshaw, Jessica Rowe for an ill-fated period, Lisa Wilkinson for 10 years, and now Georgie Gardner.

CHANNEL NINE

T

he public perception of that new pairing didn’t start well. The so-called “Ubergate” story broke in March, after comments from a discussion in an Uber car between himself and his brother, journalist Peter Stefanovic, were leaked to the press.

Now, both Today hosts insist their relationship is in a good place.

“She is awesome, there is so much b******* about us,” Stefanovic says. “We just would not work with each other if we didn’t like each other. I’m loving it, she is loving it. Everyone is on their toes.

“I think the bar has been lifted by her, and we are all becoming better at what we do because of her.”

Walking the red carpet together at the Logies, Gardner said all the chatter about her alleged dislike for Stefanovic is not true.

“I knew what I was getting myself in for, and that is he is predictably unpredictable,” she says.

“We have a lot of fun, we laugh a lot and we have each other’s backs. I think there is a really good chemistry there, and more to come.”

Stefanovic has had a lot going on in his work and personal lives in the past few years.

He hopes the personal side will settle down, but one thing is for sure – despite rumours of him departing Today, he’s not going anywhere.

“It’s the best job in TV, and I won’t be leaving it anytime soon.” ●

ART & CULTURE Ballet master Li Cunxin shares an insight into his exceptional life.

A moving portrait

hen internationally renowned ballet dancer, Li Cunxin, who is well-known for his best-selling memoir, Mao’s Last Dancer, first saw the exhibition that tells the story Dancer of his extraordinary life, he was moved to tears.

Mao’s Last Dancer the Exhibition: A Portrait of Li Cunxin, at the Immigration Museum, uses photographs, costumes, video footage and other personal items from Li’s archives to paint an incredibly personal picture of his well-documented journey from poverty-stricken rural China to some of the most prestigious ballet theatres in the world.

But it was footage of one interview, which Li had never seen before, that caught him by surprise.

“I walked into the room and heard my parents’ voices,” explains Li, whose mother and father are now both deceased.

“It was incredibly emotional for me because it was the first time I had ever heard them say they were

proud of me.” While he knew the interview had taken place, he had never seen them on screen.

“Being Chinese in my parents’ era, they didn’t praise their children, so when I heard their words I was in shock and totally overcome with emotion,” says Li, 57, who moved from Melbourne to Brisbane six years ago, where he is the artistic director of the Queensland Ballet.

The interview, he says, is a highlight for him personally, but he singles out other exhibits too.

Remarkably, they’re not the awards or costumes that tell the story of his illustrious international ballet career; rather, they are deeply personal items, like a low-to-the-ground, bamboo stool his father used to sit on and tell stories, and a utensil the family used to steam yams.

They are items that transport Li back to the small, dirt-floor hut he shared with his parents and six brothers in rural Shandong, in Mao Zedong’s communist China. Li was just 11 in 1972 when he left home, having been selected by Chinese officials to study at the Beijing Academy of Dance, 1000 kilometres away, despite never having danced

R AC H E L W E L L S

before. He was put through a gruelling training regime and was overcome with homesickness, but the chance to support his family financially convinced him to continue.

At the age of 18, Li was awarded a cultural scholarship to the US, to study at the Houston Ballet. In 1981, just days before he was due to return to China, he attempted to defect. Dramatically, Chinese officials held him captive in the Houston consulate for 21 hours. Li won his freedom, but was prevented from visiting his family in China, a ban which caused the dancer years of unimaginable grief and guilt. It was six years before he would see them again.

Fifteen years since the release of his autobiography, he is still surprised that people are so fascinated by his life story. “I never really felt like my life was that special, and it still feels surreal to me that people are so interested in my life.” ● MAO’S LAST DANCER THE EXHIBITION \ Until

The IKEA of dining

I

f food is your thing – you’re lucky you live in Melbourne. Every week there’s some new “it” place you simply must check out.

But in searching for the perfect restaurant – like relationships – I have a few deal breakers.

Let’s start with the classic – ‘‘no bookings’’.

We all have that foodie friend who is well across the new hot spots.

This mate loves a group email, and will often decide where the group is eating. My issue is this friend is a lot more committed than the rest of us.

They’ll happily add their name to a “waiting list” and hang out in the gutter, outside the restaurant, until a table is ready.

10

DOM A IN REV IEW

No thanks, I’m not a dog. Why don’t they just take bookings? Why must they insist on making our night harder to enjoy?

Next up – deconstructed meals. No way.

Your order comes out with the food separated on the plate. You have to put the meal together yourself – it’s the IKEA of dining.

These joints are always very expensive, too. Do you pay more money for the chef to do less work?

Putting random bits of food in your mouth to create a meal isn’t “fancy” – it’s called being a uni student.

Next on my list – cook it yourself grills. I went to a Korean BBQ place recently.

The table had a little grill for us to cook our own meat. My mate Jemma said, “This is so fun. We can’t do this stuff at home!” Jemma, we all have kitchens, we absolutely can.

Tapas – you’re next!

Is tapas a Spanish word meaning “go home hungry”?

One meatball is not enough for 12 humans. Everyone sits there politely pretending they don’t want the last potato. I’m convinced that’s why McDonald’s has gone 24-hour drivethrough – to cater for people on their way home from tapas.

Even bill-splitting. Rebecca’s just downed 11 wines (she’s going through a break-up) and I’ve had two. Why are we paying the same amount?

“Even bill-splitting. Rebecca’s just downed 11 wines (she’s going through a break-up) and I’ve had two.

Why are we paying the same amount?”

Speaking of being a tight arse ...

Next – still or sparkling water?

All waiters give you this option straight away. It guilt-trips you into ordering sparkling, so you look fancy.

And finally – the Very Melbourne Restaurant Name. I have a little game for you to play; grab a pen, write down any random number, then a colour, then an animal.

You’ve just named a new Melbourne eatery!

Sorry I’m grumpy. I’m hungry. Any ideas where I could eat? ● Comedian Nath Valvo is touring Australia this year with his stand-up show Show Pony Pony, and plays Sydney in August.

raig Reucassel credits his solo television presenting success to “an element of luck” but he is, of course, being just as down-to-earth as he appears on screen.

When you’ve been part of an iconic satirical troupe such as The Chaser Chaser, it is actually harder to break out as an individual television presenter with a serious message. That’s why Reucassel’s role on War on Waste has showcased his clever mix of an engaging, laid-back presenting style with some

hard-hitting messages about environmental waste.

It’s also displayed a key ingredient to his success: approachability.

“It’s been a very surprising effect of the show,” Reucassel admits. “I really do have a lot of people interact with me about how they’ve changed and what they’re doing, showing me pictures of their bin – that kind of thing.

“But it’s really good, because we were trying to make sure we didn’t just tell a shock story about waste, that we said, ‘Hey look, there are things we can do ourselves’. I really like the way people took that on.” Now returning for a second series on the ABC, fresh from a Logies win for most outstanding factual or documentary program, the series is set to explore issues including technological products being discarded as e-waste, and the use of plasticversus-paper straws.

With the 41-year-old at the helm, it will continue to lift the lid on Australia’s pressing waste issues.

“There’s a great team of people who work on this and I’ve learnt from them too,” Reucassel says. “A lot of stuff isn’t scripted, a lot of it is about the actual,

“I really do have a lot of people interact with me about how they’ve changed and what they are doing, showing me pictures of their bin – that kind of thing.” natural response to something, and that was really enjoyable actually, to not necessarily have a script for some parts of the show.

“I think it is definitely the case not all of us were wanting to be too judgmental about it, because the reality is a large proportion of people, myself included, didn’t know they were doing the wrong thing or what they could do.”

Reucassel is rightfully proud of the effect the series has had already in the community.

“I wouldn’t have done this series if it wasn’t something I was interested in and passionate about, I think we should be reducing our footprint on the world massively … but there was luck involved in being asked to do it and I’ve learnt an enormous amount and loved it,” he says.

With the removal of free plastic bags by major retailers including Woolworths and Coles, it is clear big business has been galvanised into action.

“I was really surprised when Woolies and then Coles made that announcement. I think the project [War War on Waste Waste] did a lot of great stuff on that as well and there’s obviously a lot of pressure coming from other parts of the community,” Reucassel says.

Now he would like to see more change at a legislative level. “I think, still, there’s a lot of stuff that needs to happen at policy level that’s not necessarily happening. I really hope we can have the maturity to do that … hopefully, we’ll see.” ● WAR ON WASTE: THE BATTLE CONTNUES \ Tuesdays, 8.30pm on ABC TV.

A

s a fitness trainer with over 17 years’ experience, I’m always being asked about the most effective and efficient exercise for weight loss.

The one question that I get the most is, “Sam, will walking help me lose weight?” My answer is yes, but often this conversation evolves and the question is not, “Will walking help me lose weight?”, but, “Is it the most efficient way to lose weight?”

This is a very different question.

So with that in mind, I’m going to weigh in on walking for weight loss, and whether getting those 10,000 steps a day is all that it’s cracked up to be.

THE BENEFITS \ Walking is great for body and

mind. Just the simple act of going for a brisk walk

in the fresh air releases endorphins in the body that reduce stress and boost energy. My daily morning walk with my dog Hendrix, or exploring a new city by foot is almost my favourite form of exercise.

It’s a brilliant building block. I have seen thousands of success stories when it comes to people starting a weight loss journey that began with just 20 minutes of walking a day. Never forget, something is always better than nothing and you’ve got to start somewhere.

Walking is a great way to get moving without the impact and is one of the best workouts to complement your overall training routine. If you’re injured, walking is one of the most accessible and achievable ways to get moving.

It’s one of the easiest forms of exercise and the

I recommend the talk test. If you can still talk – you’re not walking hard enough.

POINTS TO REMEMBER \ When fast weight loss is your primary objective, low-intensity activity can equal slower results. Remember that walking torches fewer calories than high-intensity exercise, so that 30-minute walk around the block won’t achieve the same results as a 30-minute boxing class.

It’s no surprise that low-impact, low-intensity exercise doesn’t get your heart rate up or use as much energy as other forms of high-intensity exercise. To get your blood pumping and elevate

As much as HIIT will help you achieve results quicker, if you need to start slow and avoid injury (because there’s nothing more frustrating than going one step forwards, two steps back), then walking could be the perfect way to kick things off. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

A positive start to secondary school

GREG BRIGGS

SPECIAL PROMOTION

M

LC’s head of junior secondary school, Cathie Ireland, has always had a keen interest in seeing young students successfully transition from primary school to year 7. “Many years ago I actually did the transition with a group of girls I taught in year 6 – I moved into a secondary school with them in year 7,” Ireland says.

“I suppose I lived the journey with them. It gave me some great insights into how they were coping and behaving in a primary setting and how that seemed to change over six weeks of school holidays.

“I saw girls who were confident and asking me lots of questions, to losing a lot of belief and confidence in themselves and it sparked a big interest in me in how we can blur the lines between primary and secondary school to make it the softest landing possible in year 7.”

Ireland joined MLC in January and oversees all students in years 7 and 8. Along with her team, she has been working to provide that soft landing through building strong relationships with primary schools, parents and potential students.

The college works with families to get a clear picture of each student, their interests and their academic strengths and challenges to provide a positive next step in education.

“One of the important things to remember is that secondary school isn’t a brand new start,” Ireland says. “Our girls are coming in with seven years of school behind them already. So the more we know about them coming into secondary school, the more it helps us to help them.”

Ireland says the large team of junior secondary staff, including year-level coordinators and home group teachers, works closely with students to develop strong working relationships with them. She is also well supported by deputy head of junior secondary Penny Church and year 7 coordinator Jess Brooder.

“We have specific programs teaching year 7s about organisations skills, about using a diary, how to manage their homework, whom to go to when they need extra support,” Ireland says.

“We also have some great programs like the Big Sister program for each home group, where year 11 students will partner up with year 7s to show them the ropes.

“So every morning you’ll see them before school

ADVICE FOR STARTING YEAR 7 …

Cathie Ireland recommends parents and students take advantage of MLC’s school tours and open days.

Make yourself and your daughter as familiar with our school as possible.

■ If you’ve got questions there’s plenty of people that can answer them so make sure you ask them.

■ Prepare your daughter for the fact that there may be some hiccups but also prepare her by saying, “You’ve had seven years of schooling so far, you’re continuing on a journey here. Take all the great skills that you’ve learnt from primary school into secondary school – don’t throw them away.”

■

starts helping them out with things – just being a guiding hand, it’s lovely to see,” she says.

Students are also encouraged to join in the extensive array of co-curricular options in order to meet others with shared interests.

“There are other specific things we do through

our wellbeing program ... for example, we talk to year 7s about friendships,” Ireland says.

“Friendship groups naturally reform in year 7. We have students coming in from 70 primary schools, so there are new personalities and different dynamics. It’s a time of exploring identity.”

Apart from the layers of wellbeing and support built through the junior secondary school, another more literal type of building is also happening: a new Year 7-8 Learning Centre which will open in mid-2019. “At the moment our years 7 and 8 are in separate buildings so I’m looking forward to having the team together in the one JSS home,” Ireland says. “It will be a building that creates some exciting, flexible spaces for better learning outcomes for our girls.”

Though she has only been with MLC since the start of the year, Ireland says she is loving the opportunity to work with year 7s and 8s again.

“My most recent role had been head of a primary school and I’m really loving being back in the junior secondary area. I see the complexity of the lives of our adolescent girls and helping them adjust to the next stage of their schooling.

“I love the breadth of choice and offering that’s available at MLC, and the diversity within our college gives everyone an opportunity to find their place.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

B ELL A RODRIGUES & SANDY LIN SPECIAL PROMOTION

Y

ear 12 student Bella Rodrigues and music teacher Sandy Lin share a passion for music and melody. With Sandy’s support, Bella, who is also a house captain at Sacré Cœur, hopes to get top marks for her VCE exams later this year.

I’ve been at Sacré Cœur since year 7. I’m studying performance as part of my VCE and working on my performance skills as a singer. I study classical voice as a part of theory and oral skills.

I sing a bit of everything – more the 20th century style pieces – but my preferred style of singing is probably musical theatre. I come from a very musical family – my dad’s a singer – and I joined the Australian Girls Choir when I was five years old.

That’s really what’s grown my love of music and singing.

I’ve taken part in two school musicals, in 2015 and 2017, and they were both really good. They were both school-written musicals. One, the teachers wrote for us, called Rock On, and one called Stella.

Performing was a lot of fun. I like seeing people’s reactions when I sing, and making their day and singing a song that they really like. I like stepping out of myself, especially when I’m doing a musical theatre piece. I enjoy being someone else for a few minutes. When I’m not performing I like to listen to anything, music that has a good melody to it I’m pretty happy to listen to.

I started working with Ms Lin in year 9. She’s really easy to talk to. We can talk about anything, like what we’ve been up to in class, or what our weekend has been like and it’s nice to catch-up for a little bit before getting into work.

Ms Lin’s been really helpful with my studies.

When I started music I was a bit unsure on the theory side and she really guided me and made sure I didn’t feel lost. She’s taught me to prepare well in advance so I don’t feel like I’m cramming at the last minute.

At this stage, in terms of a career I’m leaning towards business, something like marketing because it’s creative but has a structure that I enjoy in my day-to-day life. Music will still be a part of my life and I might even look at being a singing teacher.

GREG BRIGGS

BELL A SAYS ...

IN HARMONY \ BELLA R O D R I G U E S & SA N DY LI N

SANDY SAYS ...

Music has always been part of my life as my family is very musical. I started learning to play the flute in year 5 and went to the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary College from years 9-12, which is a music and dance-focused school. I studied a Bachelor of Music at the University of Melbourne and played in orchestras. I’ve been teaching at Sacré Cœur for five years now. When I started here, I was actually working just one day a week teaching flute before being offered a classroom job. I took the job with glee.

I was really excited to start working with the music department here because everyone is so talented, some who work as professional musicians and instrumentalists who come in to teach.

Outside of Sacré Cœur I play with an ensemble, we’re called the Cadencia Ensemble and that’s a

flute, piano and cello. We play different types of music, classical, romantic, 20th century style and do one or two performances a year.

My job is to help the girls with their theory and aural skills – listening to music and being able to intelligently analyse it. All the music teachers work together.

I do love teaching students like Bella, she is amazingly organised. She also asks questions, so she doesn’t get stuck on something she doesn’t understand. She’s a very talented singer and she comes to life when she sings. She loves musical theatre.

She usually comes to me for advice on music.

Things like putting together her final performance for her exam and we’ve covered all the different requirements for her music classes and any questions she might have about her subjects. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

In the heartland of Doncaster, where everything is geared to comfortable family living, this house will appeal to a buyer looking for space with a dash of luxury.

When the orchards of Doncaster were subdivided for housing in the ’60s and ’70s, the ideal of the family house on a large block of land where the children could play was in full swing and this block of around 911 square metres is typical of its time.

This house has been fully renovated to suit contemporary requirements but retains the traditional family values.

Bedrooms are zoned towards the front with living areas taking advantage of the green back garden and the view over the solar-heated, salt-chlorinated pool.

The main bedroom, with tall windows facing north and west, has a glamorous en suite with a freestanding black and white oval bath, twin basins and a separate shower. The walk-in wardrobe is fitted and spacious. A second bedroom also has an en suite and others share the family bathroom.

Hardwood floors are laid throughout the living areas and bedrooms are carpeted. Large windows draw in a lot of light.

The living area has a gas log fireplace, cabinet, shelves and a built-in television unit.

Warm weather is just around the corner and this home is beautifully equipped for sunny days and warm evenings to relax outside or entertain family and friends. The living area opens via bifold doors to a covered deck that stretches out to become the pool surround with a sleek glass fence.

Outdoor entertaining is made easy by a servery window from the kitchen to the deck. The black and white kitchen

Tree Lopping/Surgery ‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ presents the turbulent tale of Victoria’s gold rush through just 20 objects. From intriguing archaeological artefacts, to a frilled crinoline dress, each object has an unexpected story to tell.

The gold rushes of the 1850s transformed Victoria. Overnight Melbourne became a global port, as the lure of gold proved irresistible. People in their thousands flocked from Europe, America and China for the chance to escape lives of relentless toil.

For Aboriginal Victorians gold meant further dispossession.

But it also presented opportunities, as objects in this exhibition will suggest.

‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Public Record Office Victoria.
