It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest sports fan. It might have something to do with me never being good at any sport as a kid. No surprise then, that when I became a journalist, my focus was on general news, arts and lifestyle. But, I have always admired sports journos – particularly women – who have carved out a space in what is still a male-dominated area.

Our cover star Niav Owens is one such journo, who got her start on local radio and worked her way to her latest gig – hosting the FIFA World Cup on SBS. She spoke to us about her sporty childhood and her passion for broadcasting. ●

Forty and loving it Anthony Callea is showing a new side on his eighth studio album.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

t took Australian Idol to help make singer Anthony Callea a pop star, but after the 18 years that followed his success, he’s now ready to show a new side and is finally comfortable in his own skin.

The soon-to-turn 40-year-old is in a good creative place and is driving the charge on his eighth studio album, Forty Love. He delivers mature pop at its most haunting, melodic and heartfelt. There are searing vocal harmonies, piano parts and a dose of the familiar.

“This record has my DNA all over it,” says Melbourne-based Callea.

“From word go, I wanted to pull this body of work together myself and didn’t want to rush it.

I wanted to make sure that this represented me wholeheartedly,” he says.

“I drove every aspect of my vocal arrangements and harmonies. They’re my ideas, my lyrics and my melodies. It feels so good to be across it all.”

When Callea was runner-up in Australian Idol in 2004, his prize included a record deal with Sony Music for two studio albums.

It saw his cover of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli’s The Prayer become the highest-selling Australian single of that decade.

What followed was a label switch to ABC Music to make Thirty and a Christmas album in 2013. It was back to a major label with Backbone in 2016 – via Sony again – and ARIA Number 1 Hits in Symphony a year later.

On his eighth studio album, Forty Love, he’s out on his own, and creatively, it feels liberating not to drive an agenda that fits with a major label’s modus operandi. He dips into a body of work he’s held close for nearly two decades and teams with producer Liam Quinn again.

“I have been fortunate to do what I have for 18 years. To now be able to share a new side of me with my fans who have been there for the entire time, I feel I am so ready,” Callea says.

The ARIA Award winner worked with songwriter Andrew Lowden on an edgier track, Our New Love.

It explores the notion of putting it all on the line for love and being open about his feelings.

“It was exciting for me to push myself outside of what I am known for,” Callea says.

“To be in a room with someone I don’t have a working relationship with is daunting, but Andrew and I connected on a creative level, and I wanted to collaborate with those who didn’t have a preconceived notion of who I am, of what music I make. I wanted to break that mould.”

For someone who has performed for Queen Elizabeth II and toured with the likes of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, Callea is about as downto-earth as it gets.

He’s remained humble over the years and wears his heart on his sleeve. He married his partner, performer Tim Campbell, in 2014 and holds his family close.

“I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my family’s support,” Callea says.

“They have been with me on this entire journey.

Mum still gets 10 tickets to every show to bring her friends when I play in Melbourne … I spot her on the side, and it makes me smile.” ●

COVER STORY

Being open to opportunity has seen Niav Owens land a ‘mind-blowing’ role as a FIFA World Cup commentator.

rowing up in the regional NSW town of Hinton, Niav Owens had a go at every sport imaginable – from tennis to cricket, soccer and volleyball.

Now the sports journalist and former ABC regional radio broadcaster is joining SBS as part of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar commentating team alongside former Socceroos Mark Bosnich and Craig Foster.

“The World Cup is one of those events we grew up watching with my family as a kid, and it’s an event that brings all families and communities together,” Owens says.

“I still can’t believe I am doing this with SBS, alongside some broadcast legends. It’s mindblowing, to be honest.”

From her humble beginnings as a sports reporter at ABC Newcastle in 2007, to hosting the A-League matches and presenting on Channel 10’s Football Australia, on Paramount+ and on Optus TV, Owens

“These days, when we get together, we still play sport for fun and still like watching it together on the TV when we can.”

The radio was always on at home, too, and that’s when she heard ABC Grandstand and noticed female broadcasters owning the airwaves as they discussed sport.

“A few female voices who inspired me were the great Simone Thurtell and Tracy Holmes,” she says.

“They sparked a realisation that there was a way to do this – to be a female in sport broadcasting.”

While working alongside sports broadcaster Craig Hamilton in Newcastle in 2008, the penny dropped for Owens that sports journalism was something she wanted to pursue.

She graduated with a double degree in journalism and law from Newcastle University in 2010, but was already on the radio a year earlier, filling in for Mike Pritchard, presenting his ABC Upper Hunter Valley breakfast show.

Owens also runs a mentoring company called Media Goals, which aims to empower the next generation of athletes as they navigate the limelight.

She designs programs that assist athletes as they front the media and look for sponsorship deals, loading them up with interview techniques, teaching them how to respond when cameras are pointed their way and how be at the top of their game when not playing their chosen sport.

After heading to France to report on the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2019 and presenting the Euros last year for Optus TV, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be another major career highlight.

“It was Richard Bayliss at Optus TV who gave me the chance to go to France for the Women’s World Cup,” Owens says.

“He was always encouraging us as a team to bring personality to the broadcast and share the excitement around the tournament.”

“You need to have confidence, be brave and be yourself ... always look to embrace a job with your own personality.”

NIAV OWENS

is living her childhood dream and interviewing many sporting champions along the way.

Her Irish-born father is a big fan of European football, and would round up Owens and her two younger brothers to watch sport together.

“There was a huge amount of excitement in our home for the World Cup and our love of sport kept us glued to the TV,” she says.

“I also loved playing sport as a kid and spent a lot of my childhood watching my brothers play, too. Dad was always very proud, cheering from the sidelines.”

Owens ran wild and free in the Hunter Valley – an idyllic place to bond with other local kids.

She had her brothers by her side, always up for outdoor adventures.

“Our tiny town of Hinton meant there were no fences, few rules and lots of local kids having a cracking time – we had a lot of fun ruling the roost,” Owens says.

“My career really took off in Newcastle thanks to Craig Hamilton, who was host of the local sport radio program,” Owens says.

“He gave me the opportunity to produce his show for a number of years and that was an incredible introduction into how wonderful this area can be to work in, and really gave me a taste for it.”

Owens also undertook a 12-month internship at ABC TV – a chance for an emerging female sports broadcaster to learn the ropes.

“The internship sadly isn’t around any more,” she says. “It would bring a new female sport broadcaster through to work on the Paralympics, the Shute Shield Rugby W-League and A-League Women’s competition. You got an all-round experience for a year.”

“It was a wonderfully supportive environment and an incredible gig. You got to work as a young journalist across live sports and go to the games.

It was such a high and buzz for me.”

“To now get to work with Richard again for the FIFA World Cup is fantastic.

“He is a super-supportive colleague who has my back and I can ring and ask difficult questions and he will challenge me to be better.”

Owens is also a role model for the next generation of female journalists looking to pursue a career as a TV presenter.

“There are so many different routes to get into sports journalism,” she says.“My advice is to say yes to everything – any opportunities that come up, whether they are paid or unpaid gigs.

“You also need to have confidence, be brave and be yourself. Don’t follow what’s come before, always look to embrace a job with your own personality and don’t follow a mould that has worked for other people before.” ● FIFA WORLD CUP 2022 \ November 21 to December 19 on SBS.

DANIEL BOUD

I’ve got news for you ...

TELEVISION Jan Fran combs the

headlines on Question Everything.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

W

alkley Award-winning journalist Jan Fran has always had a curiosity and selfdescribed healthy dose of cynicism when it comes to digesting the news headlines.

Now, as co-host of ABC TV’s Question Everything with comedian Wil Anderson, she’s found her happy place to separate rumours from facts and understatement from exaggeration, and deliver it on a hotbed of comic relief.

The second season of Question Everything means Fran’s email folders are working overtime.

Yes, there are comedians who help take the heat off the headlines, but there is plenty of behind-the-scenes preparation that has her head spinning.

“It’s a very topical show and research is done week to week – it means all the newspapers on my computer are split into local, international, national, internet news and text news,” says Fran who is in a cafe with her baby as she does this interview.

“It’s an overload of information and can be hard to work out which way to go with it, but I also find it’s seeing my friend’s reaction to a news story at a cafe that can give me the idea of what to cover next,” she adds.

That’s the moment it clicks – and how she helps unravel the show’s storylines.

“At the end of the day, you want to be talking about what people are talking about and the best way to figure that out is to listen and take it all in around you,” she says.

Fran first met Wil Anderson when he invited her to be a guest on his podcast Wilosophy in 2018. It turned into a twoand-a-half-hour conversation and he needed to usher her out of the studio. He first noticed her via videos she posted on SBS’s The Feed.

“It was a marathon conversation and Wil was an interesting guy to talk to,” she says of that podcast encounter.

“At the time, I didn’t know he had studied journalism and is genuinely into the media and how it works. We had a very free-f lowing conversation and I’ve done a few more episodes since then.

“I left his studio thinking, I just told that guy all my secrets! He had a way of being disarming in that moment and it led to this collaboration on Question Everything.”

From dissecting the meanings of overused phrases in newspapers to figuring out the workings of the royal family, Question Everything does exactly what it intends to do.

“Cultural Marxism was one of those that got my attention,” Fran says. “What does that mean? Where does it come from and why is it being used?

“I can barely tell you what Marxism is and I wonder how many would know what it is.

“It’s little phrases and speeches that are a bit weird that set me on my way.”

Fran began her journalism career with SBS working on Insight and Dateline a decade ago.

These days you can also find her on the panel at The Project.

While political comedy is her shtick, she’s no stranger to hard reporting, having shot and produced documentaries in Lebanon, France and Uganda.

Her memoir, Of Middle Eastern Appearance, is also in the pipeline.

“I am the first journalist in my family, but I credit my father for my interest in journalism,” she says.

“He is an avid reader and the first person to think further than the headlines. He got me to really question what was being reported and the power dynamics around reporting and who it benefits and who it doesn’t.” ● QUESTION EVERYTHING \ Wednesdays 8.30pm on ABC and ABC iview.

Peter Gunn Ides head chef and owner of bar March

Pure innovation

Peter Gunn is a two-hatted chef who has worked everywhere from Ezard to the Royal Mail and as a sous chef at Attica before venturing out on his own.

He’s the owner and chef of Ides and a new bar right next door called March, in Collingwood.

“One of the major strengths New Zealand bar and restaurant owners have in Melbourne is the ability to foster professional relationships early in their places of work and graft to a role that gives them the confidence to … step out on their own,” he says.

New Zealand-born and Melbourne-based chef Ben Shewry’s Ripponlea restaurant, Attica, is one of the few Australian restaurants to ever be featured in the World’s 50 Best list.

Shewry grew up on a remote sheep and cattle farm in Taranaki on the west coast of New Zealand and arrived in Australia in 2002, working for Andrew McConnell before landing the head chef gig at Attica in 2005.

He draws attention to Australian cuisine with his innovative approach to cooking and his connection to indigenous ingredients.

“I am a very curious person and am always trying to stay with that childlike fascination,” Shewry says.

He recently collaborated with Melbourne chocolate company Koko Black on a signature range. From crocodile fat wrapped in chocolate to lamb floss captured in sweet and savoury notes, this is about as kooky as it gets in the world of chocolate.

“That was a game changer for me,” Shewry says, “Knowing I had to come up with something … bright, delicious and would sing when you opened the box and represent my dishes in new ways.”

When Scott Lord moved to Melbourne from Dunedin in January 2015 with his wife, he was ready for a new challenge.

“I started as a chef de partie at Cumulus for a year and a half and then sous chef at Tokyo Tina for three years, followed by a head chef there,” says Lord, who now helms New Quarter in Richmond.

“The multiculturalism of Melbourne is a huge drawcard for chefs. Having the chance to rebrand New Quarter is a career highlight – taking it from a fast-food model to a slower dining experience.” ●

When Harry Visbord moved into his new home in 1912, no one had heard of boho luxe. Yet somehow, Harry nailed the style a century before Instagram.

Como Avenue, in his time, was a hotbed of wealthy intelligentsia who liked to take the air in Como Park.

The Visbords’ home – built with a Queen Anne turret by the Millar Brothers of Brighton – looks even more beautiful today. On 1635 square metres, this is one of the finest residences in the Como Estate.

The current owners have enhanced the house for contemporary living. As well as original sitting and dining rooms and adjoining lounge and winter garden (a conservatory-style sunroom), it has a rumpus room and open-plan meals and family area, both of which open to a large deck above the north-westerly garden. There’s a bay-window main bedroom suite, and two further double bedrooms have dual-entry bathrooms nearby.

The self-contained studio has its own entrance and deck, ideal for guests or extended family.

Secluded behind iron-lace gates, the brick and bluestone beauty has an elevated verandah and horseshoe-arch entry.

Leadlight bay windows, japanned Baltic pine floorboards, vaulted ceilings and fretwork mark it as a landmark of its era, yet right on trend in this one; indoor plants and large-scale artworks look good here.
