The AFLW players possess the kind of courage I hope will develop in all the young women I know, particularly my little niece. She, unlike me, has a chance for football – the sport I loved growing up and still love today – to be much more in her life, if she chooses. The women’s league season started this month and the curtain-raising Geelong and Collingwood clash drew more than 18,000 fans. North Melbourne and Geelong are new teams this season, and in this edition we meet the Kangaroos’ Kaitlyn Ashmore, whose passion for the blue and white stripes runs deep. ●

COVER STORY

Jumping at the chance to rule the field W

As javelin star-turnedfootballer Kaitlyn Ashmore spears a new AFLW team, the next generation is on her mind.

hen Kaitlyn Ashmore was selected by the Brisbane Lions as a priority draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2017 AFLW season, she was both excited and a little unnerved. “I didn’t know who was going to be in Brisbane as far as the team went, and I didn’t know anyone in Brisbane,� she recalls. “Actually, I’d never even been to Brisbane. The furthest I’d been away from Ballarat was Melbourne, and I’d only moved there three months before.�

The Ashmores are a close family; when Kaitlyn broke the news, her mother couldn’t comprehend it. “She said, ‘But you can’t! Women don’t go interstate to play footy!’ �

Indeed they do. And sometimes they come home, too.

To her North Melbourne Kangaroo-supporting brother Leigh’s delight, Ashmore has suited up for the burgeoning national competition’s 2019 season in blue and white stripes, a key member of one of two new teams (alongside

“I’ve never won a team sport,” Ashmore says. “Me and my brother think we’re pretty unlucky – he’s had the same thing with baseball, nearly made it and just fallen short. We call it the Ashmore Curse. Hopefully we can get one this year.”

She remembers the family farewelling her brother at the airport

JULIAN KINGMA

From p5

“Pa was an old-school guy, just loved footy,” she says. “I’d do athletics but he’d never come and watch, or if he did, he’d just sit in the stands and not say anything. I’d be happy because I threw a PB; he’d be like, ‘Yeah, that was good.’ He was just a football head.”

When she took up school footy her grandfather was in the crowd; after she joined North Ballarat, aged 18, he was there every weekend. After a stroke took her beloved pa in 2011, Ashmore joined Melbourne University’s women’s team, made the state side the following year and has been a serious player ever since.

While Brisbane was initially daunting, Ashmore now regards her two seasons there as an awakening.

She missed home terribly, not least

her dalmatian Billie, she says, but felt herself grow.

“I was a very a shy girl. Now I’m in the North Melbourne leadership group, and I don’t think that would have happened if I hadn’t got out of my comfort zone.”

She loves football’s small-world, familial feel; Kangaroos captain Emma Kearney, along with teammates Ash Riddell and Kate Gillespie-Jones, are old Melbourne Uni comrades, while Jenna Bruton is another Ballarat girl. And there are other teammates she’s been longing to play alongside. “Jasmine Garner’s going to be a star.”

At the Lions, Ashmore played in two grand finals for two heartbreakingly narrow losses. At North, surrounded by recruits from

“Considering they haven’t had women around the club before, it’s just been a really nice transition.

“They’re building facilities, which makes us feel part of the club – all of the renos are for us; our own changeroom, and other works around the ground so that we can play our home games at Arden Street, bringing back that community feel.”

Around the time of the Olympics or Commonwealth Games the buzz of

athletics gnaws at her, but Ashmore has found something that individual sport lacks.

“I love that team environment,” she enthuses. “I love having the same goal as my best mates – a lot of them are girls I played with in Brisbane, or in other football teams.”

In her work as a relief teacher she feels a confidence she didn’t have before football. It excites her to think how strong the AFLW will be when the girls who are starting Auskick now push into the big league.

“I just wish I had that when I was younger. Hopefully I’m still going in 10 years’ time.” ●

Cindy Blackman Santana WHO \ World-class

musician WHAT \ Playing gigs in Melbourne before a Woodstock anniversary tour of the US WHERE \ Bird’s Basement shows, February 13-17

D

rum virtuoso Cindy Blackman Santana got her big break as Lenny Kravitz’s drummer, appearing in iconic ’90s videos such as Are You Gonna Go My Way. She wooed with her Afro hair, cool attitude and large, rimmedblack sunglasses.

Now, Blackman Santana has recorded her first album after spending decades playing and writing for others. Give The Drummer Some came to fruition thanks to the encouragement of her

husband, music icon Carlos Santana.

“Carlos was always saying ‘you should sing, Cindy’,” says Blackman Santana, who married the superstar eight years ago, and plays drums in his band, too.

It was Santana who suggested drummer Narada Michael Walden steer the project. The icon had played with Jeff Beck, been a producer for Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Whitney Houston and won a Grammy for the soundtrack to The Bodyguard.

and lovingly in everything I do without ego or angst.”

Blackman Santana, a fan of kundalini yoga, loves to meditate and says her connection to Santana was profound on a spiritual level.

“Carlos needed a drummer when Dennis Chambers couldn’t make a gig in 2010,” she says. “He asked if I would do it. I said ‘sure’. We slowly got to know one another.”

They bonded over Miles Davis and aligned chakras. “I really like where Carlos was coming from in a spiritual perspective. We had so much in common,” says Blackman-Santana, who is a follower of the Baha’i faith.

“He never asked me to join his band right away, but then it got to a point he wanted to play with me.

“He was like, ‘I don’t care what people say about not dating someone in the band’. So far, it’s working out just perfectly.” They will soon tour the US for his 50th anniversary appearance at Woodstock in 1969. ●

“It all started to happen after I wrote a few songs for American trumpeter Wallace Roney, who recorded them for his album,” she recalls. “The fact they heard something in them really got me on a path of writing more for myself.”

Blackman Santana, 59, was born into a musical family. Her maternal grandmother and mother were classical players and her dad was into jazz.

Her passion for playing drums began as a seven-year-old in the school band. By 14, she was obsessed

by Tony Williams‚ a pioneer jazz fusion artist and best known as the trumpeter in Miles Davis’ band.

She thanks musician Jackie McLean for showing her the way when she got her start as a session player. “He told when I joined his band to treat it like it was my own,” she says. “I have carried that in any situation I play in.

Tony Jones SPORTS JOURNALIST

t age 57, Tony Jones has had a career resurgence on the national stage, and he’s already making headlines.

Jones started in the Channel 9 newsroom in Melbourne 33 years ago, but it was only this year that he hit the national stage as one of the co-hosts of Channel 9’s Australian Open tennis coverage.

He also joined the much talked-about team as sports presenter on the new Today show, alongside a hosting line-up of Deborah Knight and Georgie Gardner. Jones will talk all things sport on Mondays and Fridays and be involved if there is a big story during the week.

The headlines ramped up after Jones interviewed women’s champion Naomi Osaka late on Australia Day. Some described it as a train-wreck interview, but Jones hit back at the social media keyboard warriors, calling them “cowards”, on the Neil Mitchell show on 3AW. He says he was ready for the criticism that his new national role on Today entailed, a job that is scrutinised like no other in the Australian media landscape. “It doesn’t worry me,” he says.

“I am amused by the constant chatter about the two females hosting.

“I don’t know what to say, whoever is best for the job, should get the job.”

There are two people Jones went to when he got the call from Channel 9 executives out of the blue late last year to ask him if we wanted to be part of Today. “We had just checked into our hotel in Penang on holidays; I was sitting at the bar and had just got a beer, and I got a text from the producer asking me to call him, and I thought it was to do a once a week segment,” he says.

“I rang him back and said you better give me a day to think it through, because I’ve got to talk to two people, my wife, Annette, and Neil Mitchell.”

Jones has long filled in for Mitchell on 3AW, a gig he cherishes. “I didn’t want anything to impact what I do on AW, and I also wanted Neil’s advice,” he says. “His advice was to do it and don’t worry about AW, nothing will jeopardise that.”

He also had the endorsement of his long-time Channel 9 news colleague Peter Hitchener. “He is always very supportive.” ●

Living up to the challenge

A

cross the globe there are now countless examples of residential and commercial developments that have placed sustainability at the top of their wish list, but the retail sector has been slower to join the party.

Keen to lead the way to greener retail offerings, the Living Future Institute Australia (LFIA) approached Frasers Property with an idea: Would the company put up a project to run a design competition to seek concepts for a Living Building in a retail environment? The LFIA defines a Living Building as one that is regenerative, with on-site renewable energy, and can only be certified after at least 12 consecutive months of operation. The Living Building Challenge is the built environment’s most rigorous performance standard.

Boasting a calling card of highly awarded sustainable projects, and with a company sustainability strategy focused on “creating better outcomes for people and the planet”, Frasers Property took on the challenge.

Named The Brickworks Living Building Challenge, the competition saw submissions from more than 40 organisations and 100 individuals addressing LFIA’s singular query: “Instead of a world that is merely a less bad version of the one we currently have, what does good look like?”

Peri Macdonald, executive general manager of retail at Frasers Property Australia, says the company was keen to see what “good” looked like.

“We had just finished The Ponds shopping centre in Sydney, the first to achieve a six-star Green Star Design rating in Australia,” Macdonald says. “So we were looking for the next sustainability challenge.

This seemed to line up quite well with Burwood Brickworks in particular. It’s a reasonably unique site, a standalone site but part of a broader mixeduse development.”

The retail centre at Burwood Brickworks will offer access to natural daylight and internal greenery.

Burwood Brickworks will feature apartments across six buildings, plus townhouses and a small number of land lots for sale. The masterplan has a strong focus on sustainability and buildings are interwoven with around 2.5 hectares of open parkland. Dwellings will optimise sunlight and views, combine comfort and quality and deliver cost-saving efficiencies through features like renewable energy, storm water capture, powersaving master switches and natural ventilation.

O P T I M I S I N G S U N LI G H T

Designed to be highly walkable, the development also incorporates bike paths and is close to public transport.

Macdonald says Frasers Property was accustomed to sustainability rating tools that look at how bad a building is and how it might be improved. The LFIA presented a new approach.

“For us, that was the challenge: Can it be done?” he says. “It has never been done in a retail development before. Our CEO Rod Fehring set us a further challenge – if we’re going to do it, we still need to make the sort of returns expected from a project of this size.”

Macdonald admits that, as the company went through the design and feasibility process, there were moments when their goal seemed unattainable. “At certain stages throughout the process, we thought we’d only be able to achieve partial certification,” he says. “But then key members of the team, including our CEO, encouraged us to keep pushing and keep searching for a way to do it. We’re still on the journey to making it happen, but we’re on our way to getting full certification.”

Frasers Property has employed some of the consultants from the winning submission to work with its design team on the project and says the process has been very positive.

“It’s been quite an extraordinary process given the interest we got out of the industry and the knowledge and IP that’s been delivered through the competition in a way that everyone benefited from.”

Currently under construction and due for completion in time for Christmas trading this year, the 13,000-square-metre retail centre at Burwood Brickworks will offer greater access to natural daylight and internal greenery. There will be a 2000-square-metre rooftop urban farm, including a greenhouse, which will provide produce for a rooftop restaurant. All electricity will come from renewable sources and all tenants, including approximately 40 specialty stores, a boutique cinema and medical facilities, will have fitouts which meet the Living Building Challenge standard.

Alongside the retail centre there will be a diverse choice of residential options, including terrace housing, apartments and a selection of exclusive land lots.

Macdonald is optimistic about Frasers Property’s ability to measure up. “A lot of the technology we’re incorporating into the building is not necessarily new and groundbreaking in itself,” he says. “What is new is bringing it all together in one building to deliver a Living Building Challenge outcome. With this challenge, you don’t just come up with a sustainable design and build it, you’ve actually got to prove that it works.” ● KATE FARRELLY ● frasersproperty/burwoodbrickworks.com.au IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

What is going to turn the market around in 2019?

The slowdown in our property market has been a result of tighter lending standards and lower investor and overseas activity through regulatory crackdowns on both investors and foreign buyers.

Adding to the market slowdown were the findings of the banking Royal Commission, which further eroded consumer confidence and trust.

Since 2012 Melbourne house prices have boomed by more than 70%. The current slowdown and correction in prices is quite normal after a period of strong price growth.

With the low market sentiment we are currently experiencing it’s possible that prices may decline further before stabilising.

The banks main revenue stream and business is lending money with property as security. The odds are that the banking Royal Commission will soon fade into the background and the banks will find a way to get back in on the action and lending willstart expanding once again.

Melbourne is growing by 125,000 people a year. This is equivalent to adding a city almost the size of all the suburbs in Manningham to

Melbourne every 12 months. This is enormous growth and requires a lot of new housing supply every year.

Why is Melbourne such a popular destination for so many people?

Firstly, Melbourne repeatedly wins the most liveable city in the world, but also rates highly on:

‘ Braecroft’

• Melbourne is no. 4 in the world in Time Out’s City Life Index for 2018, a ranking of the world’s most exciting cities. The three cities ahead of Melbourne were Chicago, Porto in Portugal and New York City.

• International tourists named Melbourne the world’s third best big city, according to Condé Nast Traveller. Sydney came in sixth.

The two cities ahead of Melbourne were Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan.

As Melbourne continues to grow in population and popularity, demand for property will remain strong. The long term fundamentals of strong economic growth, population growth, low interest rates and strong employment growth will support demand for housing.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
