In this week’s cover feature, journalist Corrie Perkin chatted with Helen McCabe, the media executive who held one of the country’s most respected and influential magazine roles – editor-in-chief of the Australian Women’s Weekly – and from that highly traditional position has parlayed her nous and passion into a digital venture, Future Women. This platform inspires selfcare, nurtures professional ambition, and empowers through a like-minded network. Age is just number when it comes to McCabe’s audience – Future Women is for 25 to 85-year-olds, and all are welcome. ●

COVER STORY
Media executive Helen McCabe found inspiration in the past when launching the Future Women network.
I
n October 2018 in a Sydney hotel function room, 300 people gathered to hear former Liberal deputy leader Julie Bishop talk about leadership, feminism and women in the workplace. Watching over proceedings was Helen McCabe, a former editor-inchief of the Australian Women’s Weekly and digital content director at Nine. A few months earlier, McCabe had launched Future Women, a bold subscription platform which offers events, workshops, mentoring, and a news website for women who want to grow professionally. This event was the first high-profile test. As founder and chief executive, McCabe was nervous. What if the event was a flop? What if Bishop – a former federal minister bruised by the leadership spill that had rocked Canberra only a few weeks earlier – declined to discuss sensitive topics and left the audience unsatisfied and disappointed? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Bishop felt comfortable enough among the Future Women cohort to open up. The result, McCabe says, was a night to remember. And it was the moment she knew Future Women was a viable business. The occasion with Bishop was key for the new media company – it had also proven itself as a clever events organiser. As its website explains, Future Women is “a new home for women to come together online and in person. Our mission is the advancement of women through meaningful events and connections.” McCabe, a former journalist who spent many years covering politics and business for News Corp and The Australian, suspected Bishop’s speech would make headlines. It did. It also confirmed McCabe’s belief there is a hunger in the marketplace for a platform that focuses on women
and the news and issues that affected their lives. Wealth, wellness, leadership and luxury – McCabe says these are the pillars around which she built her business model. The concept, she says, started growing shoots in 2016 then gained momentum after the Women’s Marches in the US and the increasing urgency of #metoo. McCabe found inspiration in the past. “I wanted to do something that was very much a rethinking of the same principles and ideals the Packer family had when they first launched the Women’s Weekly as a weekly print magazine 80 years ago,” she says. “If you were starting again with that kind of brand in this current environment, what would it look like? Future Women is it.” Giving women an opportunity to meet one another was also vital to Future Women’s growth. There are too few opportunities these days, McCabe says, for women to network, make friends, and share experiences. “In a previous decade you would have had the tuckshop, the tennis club, mothers’ groups, political parties, church groups, card clubs, the cup-of-tea-over-the-back-fence cliche – those were the ways women met. There are plenty of examples – in literature, too – that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.” After boarding school in Adelaide then a journalism degree, McCabe moved into TV news, before working as a London correspondent, and then various executive roles at The Australian and The Sunday Telegraph. In 2009, she was offered and accepted what many would consider the best magazine job in Australia: editor-in-chief of the country’s most-read magazine. Fast forward to her current role at Nine and the challenge of building a Future Women constituency which is loyal. Old media paradigms are no
“There are plenty of examples ... that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.” longer relevant. For example, when I ask McCabe what is FW’s core demographic, she says she prefers not to talk about age “as I don’t find it particularly useful. Our motto is ‘attitude not age’.” McCabe’s goal is to host events where 25-year-olds and 55-year-olds are comfortably sharing information and networks. They have a lot to gain, she says, “by being a part of the same club”.
“It’s not a new thing, but I see younger women really inspired by Julie Bishop, Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Helen Mirren or Michelle Simmons. And at our Future Women Social Clubs, I see it all the time.’’ ● ● futurewomen.com Read the full interview with Helen on domain.com.au/domain-review

elburnians are enamoured, besotted, and obsessed with coffee. And because cafes are the place to get that bitter-yet-sweet black nectar, we’re obsessed with those too. Cafe culture makes a place more liveable, according to the latest Domain Liveable Melbourne study by Deloitte Access Economics and Tract Consultants. It’s one of those things that adds to the amenity, goes hand in hand with an area’s walkability and helps develop the community. The study measured the distance to cafes from the centre of any given suburb and number of cafe jobs available in Melbourne’s 307 suburbs as a way of seeing which had the most lively cafe scene. The tiny inner-city enclave of Cremorne, wedged between Richmond and South Yarra, took the top spot. “For me, it’s the coolest part of Melbourne,” says Wani Sak, the owner of 1983 Espresso and Panini Bar on Cremorne Street. She and her fiancee Melinda Aloisio opened the

cafe in 2012, and then six years later took over the space two doors down for the restaurant and bar Ms Frankie. Cremorne beat out Melbourne CBD, Southbank and South Melbourne as the prime spot for cafes, with those suburbs ranking second, third and fourth, respectively. While the study did not measure the quality of cafes in any given suburb, one of its authors, Adam Terrill from Tract Consultants, says looking at the number of them gave a good understanding of where cafe culture was at its highest. “The provision of cafes in any given suburb provides a local amenity for residents that can be enjoyed – and the quality of cafes across Melbourne is generally pretty good no matter where you go,” Mr Terrill says. The once-industrial locale of Cremorne has gone through a resurgence over the past five or so years. Even back then, most people didn’t know where it was, Ms Sak says. “Cremorne was pretty dingy back in the day, there’s stories of drug lords and all sorts of dark, crazy stuff,” she says. “Now it’s changed so much – it’s typical, off-the-beaten-track kind of Melbourne with really cool little pokey laneways.”
Creative, fashion, tech and media companies have taken over the once-empty industrial buildings, earning the area the nicknames “Silicon Yarra” and “Silicon Richmond”. Reece plumbing plans to move its headquarters to the old Rosella factory, while new residential development The Malt District, which will also house the new MYOB headquarters, is being built under the Nylex sign. Ms Sak has seen it all evolve, much to her surprise and delight. “It felt like it was going to be something pretty cool,” she says. “But there’s no way I imagined it would become what it has become.”
Wani Sak, the owner of Cremorne’s 1983 Espresso and
With businesses of course come people, and with people – you guessed it – cafes. It’s a $2.2 billion industry in Victoria, and coffee alone is about 10 per cent of our discretionary spend, University of Melbourne marketing professor Simon Bell says. “It goes to the heart of what our identity is,” Professor Bell says. “There are some aspects of our coffee culture that’s really ahead of the world – Melbourne International Coffee Expo, which attracts the world’s best in specialty coffee; the sheer number of micro roasters that we have in Melbourne, for example.” It’s even started to influence how the rest of the world does coffee and brunch. “Aussie cafe culture is finding a foothold in the US – the flat white, the smashed avocado – those are the sort of things that have become associated with an Australian-style cafe.” For Ms Sak, the growth of Cremorne as a cafe hub has led to a burgeoning nightlife scene as well. “It’s becoming more of an understood location,” she says. “It’s a little sub-city on the fringe.” ●

Totes simple Wo r d s
C O R RI E PE R KI N
GREG BRIGGS
M
y love affair with tote bags started in earnest at a booksellers’ conference in Brisbane. It was 2010 and the publishing companies were handing them out like lollies. Some of the totes carried reading copies of forthcoming novels. Others exploded with handouts and brochures when you tipped them upside down on the hotel bed that night. One publishing rep heard me compliment her colleague on their company’s very nice totes. “Here, have a couple,” she said, stuffing a few more into my hands. It turned out the publisher had printed too many tote bags. Thus, booksellers like myself became worthy recipients of a few freebies. To tote or not to tote: that is the question all ecominded retailers are asking. Do we go to the expense of having totes manufactured with our own logo? Or, do we just order in generic calico ones? And, if we do offer totes, do we ask people to pay? If yes, how much? Should we try and cover our costs, or do we just give them away and allocate the expense to the marketing budget? In recent weeks, I have also been wondering:
what’s the current view on paper bags? The other day, a customer was miffed when I offered a paper bag with a handle for her three new books. “No more bags,” she said rather contemptuously, then shoved her beautiful new books into a hessian bag beside the greengrocer’s veggies. I winced, then wondered if I was being disrespectful to the environment by seeking to protect William Dalrymple from the customer’s waxy potatoes. Right-wing grumps like Paul Murray and Andrew Bolt might blame Greta Thunberg and her lot for the new complexities surrounding shopping. But I love Greta, and think of her every time I sling my tote bag on my shoulder. With determination and intelligence, this woman-child from Sweden has captured our hearts and prompted us to review how we live our lives. From household rubbish to our meat consumption, airline travel – even paper bags with the bookshop logo on them – Greta is another climate change activist who has prodded us into thinking how we might change our daily behaviour. For me, it starts with shopping. We all shop. Most of us do it every day.
“I love Greta [Thunberg], and think of her every time I sling my tote bag on my shoulder.” What we buy, how we transport it to and from stores, and how we use these products (and what we do with the stuff once we have finished with it) are habits we can change right now. For example: ■ Invest in a shopping trolley bag on wheels. You can fit so much inside, and prices start around $40. ■ If you live near a shopping strip, walk to your shops. On so many levels (improved fitness, eliminating car park angst, supporting local traders, cutting petrol consumption), this is a winning move. ■ Buy local products. The fewer kilometres your item has to travel to the supermarket, the less its impact on the environment. ■ Need a new fridge or bedside lamp, desk or set of cutlery? Think op shop. ■ Some eco experts say we should shop less often to reduce our carbon footprint. My view: if you can walk or bike ride to your local shops, then try to
shop daily. There is less tendency to overbuy and chuck out, and you become more focused and better organised with meal planning. ■ Avoid plastic. Not just shopping bags, but goods packed in molded plastic cartons and packages. ■ Tote up. After all these years, my collection of tote bags is in full use. A couple in my daily backpack, a few in the car, one at my workplace. ■ Pick up a copy of We Are All Greta: Be Inspired to Save the World by Valentina Giannella ($19.99). As the author writes in her introduction, “a fearless girl has awakened the conscience of an entire generation and made it concrete and visible’’. Shoppers of Australia, it’s time to join them. ● Corrie Perkin is an award-winning journalist and former managing editor of The Age, and the owner of My Bookshop in Hawksburn.

hen Australia’s favourite music quiz show Spicks and Specks took the needle off the record back in 2011, nobody had expected it to survive the six years that it did on ABC television. The show hosted by Adam Hills had proved itself past the difficult second album career phase and gave Aussie musicians a chance to shine beyond radio playlists. “We got out while the going was good,” says ABC radio presenter Myf Warhurst, who made a name for herself as the darling of Triple J radio, and is an occasional guest panellist on The Project and co-hosts SBS’s Eurovision coverage.

A rotating line-up of local and international celebrity guests added to the charm of the format. Everyone from Meat Loaf to Tim Minchin, the late Sharon Jones, of Dap Kings fame, Guy Pearce and Tina Arena all shared the spotlight. A Spicks and Specks reunion special which aired last year broke ABC viewing records, with 1.13 million tuning in. It proves local content is in demand. “Coming together for the reunion was like nothing had ever changed,” Warhurst says. “It’s like we had slipped back into a cosy old armchair and the magic was still there between us all. There was always the worry of mucking up the legacy if we came back, but that didn’t happen.” Warhurst, who studied a bachelor of arts, fine art and art curatorial studies at the University of

Going by the title of family room, the space at the rear of this residence was originally titled the ballroom, and has hosted innumerable social occasions, dance-oriented and otherwise, since the pile came to be around a century ago. The current owners have racked up more than 60 years of cherished occupation, with generations of family flourishing under the tiled roofline. Aside from some tweaking – most identifiable in the presence of a dishwasher and the kitchen’s 1980s splashback – and cosmetic touch-ups, the house is in predominantly original condition. Reposing on a hillside allotment of about 0.2 hectares close to Eaglemont Station, Burgundy Street shops and a plethora of prestigious schools, what you’ve got here is a momentous opportunity to restore and reinvent a voluminous veteran. The facade is unadulterated, with a shingled gable over the entrance verandah and a bay window to one side of the access stairs. A foyer makes for formal introduction. To the right, the main bedroom claims that curved, bay window. To the left and heralded by folding doors, the carpeted lounge lures with an open fireplace, strutted ceiling and candelabra chandeliers. Another set of folding doors links the lounge with the similarly-presented, dining room. One of the minor bedrooms opens to a study. The kitchen/meals area is central. Terracotta floor tiles timber cupboards and an exposed, tongue-and-groove ceiling give it gravitas. Behind the kitchen, the laundry leads

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon
Trades & Services
MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO
section of Network Classifieds.
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.
