MOUTHING OFF

tell us

ell, you’re in trouble now. As if it wasn’t enough that you have to put up with me frequently ranting at you about the need for visionary and coherent policy around place-making, town planning, densification of our cities, infrastructure and mass transit, now an unlikely source of encouragement emerges to suggest that this, above almost all others, is to be the conversation of the 21st century: and that person is none other than the new Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. When I heard that the PM was appointing a Minister for Cities and the Built Environment, saying that “liveable cities, efficient productive cities, the environment of cities, are economic assets’’, I fairly whooped with joy. Prime Minister Turnbull said we had to ensure “every level of government works together … to ensure that our cities progress”. Hallelujah. Now, don’t go mistaking this for partisan support: I don’t care which party finally decides that the Commonwealth has a crucial

part to play in designing, servicing and maintaining our urban environments. I’m just glad that someone outside the policy and practice circles that I move in has recognised the bleeding obvious: that the sustainability and amenity of our built environments are crucial to our economic outcomes. Smart cities are wealthy cities, and citizens who don’t lose a third of their day commuting are more happy, connected and productive people. Former assistant minister for infrastructure and regional development Jamie Briggs has been given what I regard as the best job in government, and the early response of planners, urban designers, transport policy wonks and others has been positive – at the very least because they now have someone in Cabinet whose job is to care about the stuff they do. It also means the Commonwealth won’t just concern itself with big roads (that cut through key electorates) but will concern itself with mass transit and the amenity of large cities grappling with the needs for densification. The portfolio recognises that human capital can be trapped in a poorly designed city or its potential released by an approach that integrates home and work. No one pretends this area is not enormously complex, but that doesn’t mean designing a cohesive policy is beyond our mental capacity. At a recent infrastructure conference, I was

“there’s a great number of egos involved in all this’’ intrigued to hear about the large corporation that had just that week unlocked its workforce from headquarters. All staff were given iPads and told the company didn’t care where or when they worked; they all had their KPIs, they knew their work groups and their project managers and it was up to them to deliver.

The infrastructure significance is just how many people this, and the expected many more corporate decisions like it, takes off the road now that the peak-time commute is killed off. What does a decision like this mean for proposed toll roads and expanded mass transit systems if our workforce ends up working smarter and offline? The role that Infrastructure Australia plays in all this will be crucial. The statutory body is currently compiling a list of audited infrastructure projects crucial to national growth (rather than the electoral success of a particular party) and accepting its recommendations will be a big test of the seriousness of this ministry. And will pork-barrelling state and local governments of all stripes play ball with the Feds? There’s a great number of egos involved in all of this – and only the future of our magnificent but struggling cities at stake. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

OCTOBER 1, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 5

PETER WILMOTH meets Delta Goodrem

ELTA Goodrem breezes into the room wearing a glamorous black dress and black nail polish, bangles jangling, that famous cascading blonde hair framing one of Australia’s most famous faces. Any casual viewer of The Voice knows she’s telegenic, but up close this mega-wattage serves to reinforce the truism that some people are born to be in show business. I’m at The Voice offices at Fox Studios in Sydney, a little bit of Hollywood in Australia, next to the Sydney Cricket Ground. I’ve walked past the long pathway that contestants nervously enter to perform, and into a boardroom to wait for Delta. My timing is excellent: it’s the day Delta’s song Wings goes to No. 1 on the charts and The Voice’s ratings hit the stratosphere. Things are good for Australia’s sweetheart. “I’m appreciative of when the stars align,” she says. It’s been a long journey to this point. From child star at 15 to pop stateswoman now at 30, Delta has never been satisfied with being one thing: she’s a classical pianist, singer, songwriter, performer and actor. No wonder she needs the energy she radiates. “I have a million trains of thought,” she says. “When it came to joining The Voice it was hard to

debuted at No.1 on the Australian charts in March 2003 (it reached No.2 in the UK), selling four million copies worldwide. The album would go on to break Australian records previously held by John Farnham’s Whispering Jack by staying at No. 1 for 25 consecutive weeks. The euphoria was quashed in July 2003 when Delta was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer. Australia, in love with the young, blonde pop sensation, rode every bump of Delta’s journey – which included intense chemotherapy and radiation treatment – to her full recovery. She wrote her 2004 album, Mistaken Identity Identity, about that experience and says what she went through made her stronger. “I think that’s one moment in my life when, yeah – absolutely. I think it was another colouring to the story.” Writing her own songs has always been part of the Delta package. Indeed, she attributes the longevity and success of her career to it. “You definitely can’t last without writing your own songs,” she says. “You have to create your own moment. It doesn’t get given to you.” She says songwriting is her lifeblood and ties in with her curiosity about people. “I love the psychology of human nature; it’s something I love to study and that’s why I’m

the jealous ire of a rival. I ask if there were any echoes of that in her own life – people envious or resentful of her success? “I don’t know. I don’t think about or worry what people’s projections onto me are any more. I’m older now.” Did she once? “I’ve only ever wanted to come in and do a great job, do the best I can. Projections onto me are up to them, their own things to work through. I’m really proud of the person that I am today. My heart, my intention is to only ever bring good things, have fun and live my life to the fullest. I don’t spend time judging other people.” She relishes her role as a coach on The Voice. “I love it. I get to be surrounded by music all day. I’ve got the best seat in the house.” She says her fellow coach, Ricky Martin, could be a template for male charm, but she acknowledges there has been friction with

“I think I’m actually a little bit more wild at heart than I’m probably seen as”

process [it all] to one train of thought and to finish it … I find I jump, I jump, I jump … I’ve had to learn how to be succinct. It wasn’t something I was natural at when I first joined the show.” What did come naturally was the warmth she showed towards the acts she observed and mentored. “My honesty is my truth. It doesn’t mean I have to be hard about it. It’s that thing of ‘never mistake kindness for weakness’. “I feel very strong in the way I approach my kids. They have to be as committed as I am, because I’m giving my heart and soul. I feel that I always end up having a very united team. They have to learn quickly, so I try to give them as much information as they need.” Delta grew up in Sydney with her brother, Trent, who plays football in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). It wasn’t a very musical household. “Very Aussie and my brother’s very sporty,” she says. “I equate finding my own style when I was young to not being influenced by a lot of artists. I didn’t have the exposure to these artists until I got older, when I started to write my own (music).” Success came early. She was signed to Sony records aged 15, and by 18 she had a main role in Neighbours and had released her first album. The largely self-penned Innocent Eyes 6 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 1, 2015

a songwriter. I love watching and observing and listening.” She writes her songs at home. “My home is my happy place. I bought my home for its acoustics. I literally imagined this place. It’s a big room and I don’t put any furniture in it; it’s just a piano, a microphone, and my mum helped me build in some speakers so I could sing.”

ask whether she subscribes to the theory that songwriters find it easier to write when they’re not thrilled with life. “I believe my best work has been when I’ve been happiest,” she says. “If I get to a place where I’ve processed what has happened, that’s normally when I write the song. It’s when I’ve just come through it and then I write it just after the cusp, when I feel I’ve dealt with that. “I feel there are fire moments where my heart is trying to speak out and then there are moments where things are higher and come through you. It’s like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. It’s like sitting in a storm and waiting and looking and going ‘where is the lightning, I’ve got to catch it’.” She smiles. “It’s hard to catch.” In 2003 she played the namesake in the film Hating Alison Ashley, about a beautiful girl arriving at a new school and attracting

another coach, British singer Jessie J. Tensions between the two over Jessie’s full-bodied assessments of performers on the show came to a head one night when Delta walked off set. “I’m an Australian on there,” Delta says, “and these are Aussie artists. I realise we’re making a TV show, but at the same time I don’t care. I come from an artist’s point of view where I sit there going ‘they have to walk off to their families, they have to live with this for the rest of their lives’. I’m not going to let them walk off with a bad experience … It takes a lot for me to walk off set. In 15 years I’ve never snapped in front of anybody.” Has she smoothed things out with Jessie? “I love having her as part of the show. I think she brings an incredible dynamic.” With The Voice now wrapped up for 2016, Delta is busy rehearsing for her next role, playing Grizabella in the musical Cats, which opens in Melbourne in December. “I’m loving it,” she says. Delta says she has two cats, but they are not much of an inspiration. “One of them doesn’t move. He just sits there. But they love music.” After 15 years in the spotlight, I wonder whether we really know the real Delta all that well? “I’m responsible for guarding myself over the years,” she says. “I learnt how to have two lives. I learnt how to live a pubic life and

(PIERRE TOUSSAINT)

BEHIND THE VOICE

Delta’s influences Delta attributes her longevity in the industry to her skill at writing her own songs. So who are her songwriting heroes? Delta was born 13 years after one of her musical heroes, Carole King, released her monster album Tapestry in 1971. The album, which won four Grammy Awards and was No. 1 on the American Billboard charts for a record-breaking 15 weeks, is a distillation of King’s songwriting talent with Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, You’ve Got a Friend, It’s Too Late, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and Tapestry. Tapestry Delta hadn’t been born, either, when Fleetwood Mac released its self-titled album in 1975. It featured another of her heroes, Stevie Nicks, whose Rhiannon and Landslide are on that album. “I didn’t have the exposure to these artists until I got older, when I started to write my own (music). I went ‘Oh! This is a spiritual thing that I connected to … Carole King, my heart completely went … Stevie Nicks, I discovered Stevie when I was 22. After I’d gone through the rough health chapter, I then found Tori Amos. So I went through these different phases. You have to be exposed at the right time to influences in your life.” ● CAROLE KING

then to live with my friends and do my thing. “I think I’m actually a little bit more wild at heart, I’m actually a little bit more eccentric than I’m probably (seen) as. I just knew how to sit and be a professional in my job. That was all it was. It wasn’t as though I was trying to act as anybody else; it was just that I was being a young professional as a kid.” Did she ever feel that being a teenage star robbed her of anything? “No. I never feel that. There are decisions – like anyone has – where I think ‘I could have done that better’. But when it comes to missing out on childhood … I managed to have a wonderful childhood. “Music was something I always knew I would do, so it wasn’t a surprise to me. It was a part of my life since I was six or seven. It was a part of my being. It wasn’t that I said ‘oh, I want to do this’. It was just what I did.” As I’m leaving, I mention, slightly sheepishly, that someone in my inner circle admires her enormously, especially her famously lush hair. Delta smiles and without further comment grabs my phone and films a greeting to this young person, going into some detail about the man who does her hair and how much work Delta does to ensure it looks this good. She signs off with a dazzling smile and blows a kiss. One young heart back in Melbourne beat a little harder that afternoon. What Delta did was natural, warm, authentic, refreshingly down to earth, and it just might say more about the type of person she is than anything else. ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » Wings by Delta Goodrem is out now. » Cats plays at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre from December 18.

It starts with post-natal anxiety about their weight gain and developmental milestones, and is very quickly superseded by swallowing hazards, fear of broken limbs, NAPLAN failure and soon enough you’re into full-blown they’re-going-to-berun-over-getting-off-the-tram and what-if-theyflunk-out-of-school-and-become-a-nun. God help me when they start driving cars and going on dates, and then if they survive all of that and I don’t end up insane, we’ll be entering into horrible-partner, job-availability, grandparent territory. I may not get a good night’s sleep again. At the moment, apart from when I’m out on the town in high heels feasting, which is not often enough, my daily worry quota is usually used up with minor friendship and homework crises, cartwheel injuries and trying to keep track of the younger ones’ sugar intake. All low on the parental-worry scale, a fact for which I am extremely thankful. But tomorrow is another day, fresh with who-knows-what kind of new worries. What might happen this coming Sunday when the teenager and her friends go in to the city for the first time, and all those trams … ● khall@theweeklyreview.co.au

What could possibly go wrong I said, cruising down the street like a 20-year-old 13-year-old to look after him for an entire day. What were we thinking, they said, we so didn’t know how many things could have gone wrong. But, of course, it all went smoothly, plus they had the golden babysitter’s-mum-is-next-door leave-ticket. Their firstborn is now nearing the end of high school, relatively unscarred, and most likely about to present a whole different bundle of worries for his folks, VCE being one of them. Because having kids is a life sentence. Once they arrive you are destined to spend at least half your day worrying about them and what might possibly go wrong at any minute.

What could possibly go wrong I said, cruising down the street like a 20-year-old with the wind in my hair, blisters forming on my high-heeled feet yet still buoyed along by the promise of an evening out and lots of lovely food and wine ahead. Plus, I said, we are not that far away if they need us. That’s what those British parents in Portugal thought, he said. And they haven’t seen their daughter now for eight years. Then he went on to list a bunch of other things that could go wrong that included people falling off balconies, wild house fires, meningitis, and the very real possibility of a brawl breaking out if one managed to get more Maltesers than the other. Right, I said, I’m going home. But then I remembered the degustation menu I’d booked and I forged on bravely, because someone had to do it, and in the end everything was fine; they were safely tucked up in bed fast asleep when we got home and it wasn’t even much past 9pm.

Sometimes I feel I can nail a place and plunder its menu, but at others I develop a FOMO (fear of missing out). This cheerful new Spanish bar at the far end of Thornbury’s High Street offers more than a dozen tapas choices on its weeknight menu; many also come as raciones. We hover over croquetas and patatas bravas, meatballs (albondigas) and gambas (prawns). But we settle on pimientos del piquillo (peppers) filled with creamed goat’s cheese, marinated lamb skewers and coliflor rebozada (crumbed cauliflower). When our board arrives, everything looks small, especially the cauliflower, and I think we’ve messed up, but a saffron and manchego butter saves the vegetable dish. There’s only one skewer too; it’s charry and tender and we get a nibble each. The piquillo pepper is delicious and bursts with creamy filling as we cut it, and share. We’ve opted for the paella next. It’s in big metal pans on tables around us, so we’re confident we’ll eat our fill. Chato, which according to modern translation means short, small or stubby, is named after the 40-millilitre glasses on its wine menu.

an you name the world’s largest wine region? It’s Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France and it is also one of the world’s most diverse. There’s an incredible 2800 square kilometres under vine in this huge region that stretches from the Camargue, where the Rhône River flows into the Mediterranean, along the coast to the Pyrenees and the Spanish border. The Languedoc is a region where nearly everything grows. More often than not its wines are labelled as Pays d’Oc. With such a large area, there’s a diverse array of micro-climates and soils on which different grapes grow and thrive – from heat-loving, traditional varieties such as marsanne, grenache, shiraz and picpoul de Pinet to popular modern grapes such as sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and merlot. Many of these little pockets of terroir are recognised appellations, where hundreds of years of experience has taught vignerons the best grapes to grow. Languedoc is often thought of as a cheap region, especially when compared

LANGUEDOC

very week towards the end of the Marngrook Footy Show Show, co-hosts Leila Gurruwiwi and Shelley Ware head out into the streets for their Footy Yarns segment, to chat with fans about the game. Vox pops are never easy – I’ve endured enough over the years in journalism to know how draining it can be to get strangers to talk to you. But for Leila and Shelley, the two female faces on the five-strong Marngrook panel, it’s never a problem. “There’s been a jump in the number of people who come up and talk to us when we’re doing Marngrook, like, ‘Hey! It’s Shelley and Leila!’ ” Leila says. “And it’s really important for us to acknowledge them walking past, even if it’s just a hello or a wave or smile and ‘thank you so much for watching the show’.” Marngrook has had a roller-coaster history since it made its debut on indigenous broadcaster NITV in 2007, after 10 years on radio, with an indigenous take on the footy panel concept. Picked up by the ABC in 2011, it was axed after just two seasons. But, thanks to a groundswell of public support, in 2013 it returned to NITV, now owned by SBS. This has been a watershed year for the show. Ratings and recognition are gaining momentum, and a nomination for Most Popular Sports Program at this year’s Logies underscored the show’s growing popularity. The fact that it was beaten by the NRL Footy Show doesn’t dampen Shelley’s excitement. “Things definitely changed this year. People voted for us and that is a wonderful feeling, that they took the time out to do that.”

“When you’re talking about racism against an indigenous person, it needs to come from an indigenous point of view,” says Leila. “It was really important for us to be able to say how we felt, because at the end of the day we understand how Adam feels. We, as a community, have dealt with that racism since colonisation and we understand the underlying racism that exists [in the booing], even though there are people who will say there is no such thing as racism in Australia these days.” Shelley says she and her fellow hosts were invited to talk on other media outlets about the booing saga but declined. “We wanted to voice our thoughts on Marngrook. The mainstream media can cut and edit things and twist your words, but we felt really safe on Marngrook in being able to voice what we wanted to say.” Both women have experienced racism first-hand at the footy. Shelley says she has stopped taking her nine-year-old son, Taj, to games because of it. “A few weeks ago, I nearly turned around to a woman and said, ‘I’m going to take your photo and make you famous at 7.30pm on Thursday if you don’t stop this’,” she says, laughing. Leila adds: “You feel like asking them for their membership number and speaking to their club.’’ Shelley says she’s actually done that. “I’ve contacted a club and their membership was taken away,’’ she says.

“We’re going to be part of a better future … teaching people that this is life, we’re all in this together” - shelley ware Leila says the show’s ever-growing popularity points to a shift in audience attitudes. “I’ve heard from more than a few people that they just aren’t interested in what is being offered on the other footy shows,” Leila says. “They would rather watch us and our personalities.” I wonder aloud if this might have something to do with the boys-club nature of other male-dominated programs. Shelley and Leila nod in unison. “We have respect for each other,” Leila says. “We’re not a bunch of egos talking over each other – well, sometimes we do but we tell them off and bring ’em down a peg or two [laughs] – but at the end of the day we talk about footy. It’s a footy show and it’s all about football.” Shelley says the audience responds particularly well to the way the show’s male panellists – indigenous broadcaster Grant Hansen and indigenous former AFL players Gilbert McAdam and Chris Johnson – treat their female co-hosts. “People say to us constantly, ‘We love watching you and Leila on the show and the way the boys treat you’. They completely respect us and we’re on the same level. We haven’t played AFL footy but they listen to us and engage with us. We love footy and that’s what people love about Marngrook – it’s a breath of fresh air.’’ The show also proved a breath of fresh air this year as the Adam Goodes booing saga unfolded (and it continues – the Sydney champ was booed by a small but significant number of fans in both the Swans’ finals matches, and he may not participate in the lap of honour for retirees on grand final day). The Marngrook hosts dedicated a segment this year to expressing their thoughts on the booing, in stark contrast to the parade of mainstream commentators such as Andrew Bolt or Sam Newman lining up to tell Adam how to act. 10 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 1, 2015

GAME CHANG ERS

DANIEL PAPROTH MEETS TWO WOMEN PUTTING A FRESH TWIST ON FOOTY

It’s clear that racism in footy rattles both women, but they have not let it dampen their enjoyment of the game, which has its roots in the game called Marngrook, which indigenous Australians played for years before white settlement. Quite the opposite; they both speak lovingly of the sport that has impassioned them for most of their lives. At 27, Leila, a Yolngu woman from Galiwinku on Elcho Island in north-east Arnhem Land, can’t remember a life without it. “My dad, my brothers, cousins, nephews, have all played. My uncle Gary Dhurrkay played in the inaugural Fremantle team in 1995, my sister plays in a women’s league, so footy has always been a big part of my life from a young age,” she says. Originally, she had dreams of being “the next Cathy Freeman” but pneumonia derailed her athletics hopes in her first year in high school. She now plays basketball and netball, and says sport forms a very important part of her life. “I think the best thing about footy is these people with amazing talents being able to share that with all these footy fans who love it and are passionate about it.” Leila says the Marngrook Footy Show has been a massive part of her life, giving her a dream to chase and helping her to develop as a person.

She was 19 when she joined the show, “six months out of high school with no direction in my life or career path”. “I’m a big believer in the right place, right time, and I literally was, Grant (Hansen) had just helped me relocate from Bendigo to Melbourne and knew about my passion and love for footy, so he asked me to be a part of Marngrook. I didn’t have much self-confidence at the time but luckily Grant had enough for two of us,” Leila says. “For me it’s about becoming more of a confident young indigenous woman around strong indigenous men and women and to be very proud of that fact.”

helley, a 43-year-old Yankunytjatjara and Wirangu woman from South Australia’s west coast, has also always been surrounded by sport. “It’s just a pleasure watching people be happy, have fun and enjoy themselves,” she says. “It will be in my life forever.” A primary school teacher by profession, her media career started with Channel Seven’s now-defunct footy show Alive and Kicking before Grant Hansen asked her to join Marngrook when it was still on radio. “I stopped to have a baby and then he called me up again for the TV show, and I thought ‘I’m not doing much on Thursday nights, so why not?’ “I wasn’t fantastic at it at first but I’ve grown as a presenter and it has opened doors for me as well, like working with The Long Walk foundation. There’s that saying that it’s like a family, but it really is.” The show has opened doors for both women. Leila speaks glowingly of the champions she has met, from AFL stars such as Dipper (Robert DiPierdomenico) and Dougie Hawkins to the late Lionel Rose, who became a passionate fan of the show. She also works with the Wirrpanda Foundation. But more important, the co-hosts say, is the wider impact the show has on society. “Marngrook has been massive for reconciliation,” Shelley “Marngrook says. “We have people of all walks of life, all identities coming up to us so thrilled with the show, and love that we talk footy and the things that happen weekly. “This makes a change, I really believe. We’re going to be part of a better future for my children and Leila’s children, and children who aren’t indigenous, teaching them that ‘this is life, we’re all in this together’.’’ Asked for their highlights from the 2015 season, myriad moments tumble out: Dustin Fletcher and Brent Boomer Harvey becoming only the third and fourth players respectively to reach 400 games, Tex Walker’s inboard pass in the dying stages of Adelaide’s elimination final with the Bulldogs, the wonders of Eddie Betts, Patrick Cripps lighting up a miserable season for Shelley’s beloved Blues, and Leila’s Bulldogs coming from off-season disaster to finals football. (She isn’t too shattered they lost in week one, though: “I get really stressed out. When we played Adelaide, at first I was like ‘oh my god we lost’ but then I thought ‘at least we don’t have to play next week now!’ ”) A constant thread for them both is the power of the “footy community”, and how it came together time and time again to support peers in times of need: for Adam Goodes, for Phil Walsh, for Brett Ratten, for Nick and Jack Riewoldt, for Nic Naitanui. “There were some shocking moments this year,” Shelley says. “But every time, the community came together and we flew as one. It just shows how much of a community we really are.” Neither Shelley nor Leila can quite decide who they think will win the flag, but one thing’s for sure: they’ll be smiling and laughing together and back again in 2016. ● dpaproth@theweeklyreview.com.au

ou might not know the name Marie Duplessis, but chances are you’ve heard her story. The 19th-century French courtesan has left an incredible imprint on popular culture, despite dying at 23. But whether you know her as The Lady of the Camelias, Camille or Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!, you’ll find a few surprises in Sheridan Harbridge’s Songs for the Fallen. Arriving in Melbourne after an acclaimed season in New York, the mash-up of cabaret, pop songs and musical theatre whisks audiences off to Marie’s final shindig – the mad party to end all mad parties. Sheridan says she was drawn to Marie’s story when she realised everyone else had been telling the tale wrongly. “Her real story was just so much more fantastic and awful and remarkable than I felt all the books and incarnations about her had been. Part of me was frustrated that it had just become about her life with men, when really she was the most extraordinary, tenacious, driven woman who changed her station, her class and her

life in six whirlwind years. It blew me away.” How does a writer and performer go about bringing such a charismatic woman back to life? “With a lot of balls,” Sheridan says. “I took all the parts of myself that were in line with her and put them on steroids, basically.” Sheridan says she was keen to draw parallels with the way society treats contemporary party girls such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. “There’s that sneer of going: they must be unhappy to live so wildly and without consequence. It’s that really human thing of hating what you want to be.” Songs for the Fallen does its best to plonk the audience in the middle of this party-girl world. Mixing an 1847 setting with 2015 references, the show features dancing, power ballads and pillow fights, while Marie moves out through the crowd to “harass and seduce anyone and anything she can”. “The best thing about the show is how hot, sweaty and fun it is,” Sheridan says. “We set out to make a raucous party and we’ve delivered.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

MACBETH Snowtown director Justin Kurzel’s take on Shakespeare’s most devilish tragedy is FILM a bloody and beautiful beast. A patina of gritty realism brings the supernatural elements down into the mud, with Kurzel cleverly reworking some of the more far-fetched elements. Most successful is an added thread that establishes Macbeth (Michael Fassbender) and his missus (Marion Cotillard) as grieving parents, giving the pair new motivation for their misdeeds. Cotillard is sublime, subverting lazy cliches about Lady M, while Melbourne girl Elizabeth Debicki has a small, if heartbreaking, role. ■ Opens October 1.

ABC’s season of mental health programming was a great success last year, rating superbly and, more importantly, raising $1.5 million for mental health research. The centrepiece to this year’s program is, once again, Changing Minds: The Inside Story Story. The second run of this doco series, which follows patients on their journey with mental illness, has more of a focus on young people – who tend to be most at risk from mental health issues. It’s raw, moving and important stuff. ● The Singing Bones by Shaun Tan (Allen and Unwin) READ www.allenandunwin.com When it comes to fairy tales, familiarity breeds cosiness.

Oscar-winning Australian author and artist Shaun Tan brings back some of the darkness with this gorgeous, full-colour volume of twisted sculptures, inspired by the Brothers Grimm. The book is less an anthology and more an exhibition, its figurines looking like relics exhumed from a childhood nightmare. ●

Lana Del Rey has enjoyed her fair share of controversy – not for the dark, sleazy world of her lyrics, but because people can’t tell if she means it or not. Is she a pop tart poseur or provocateur? Her third album tilts towards the latter. It’s a subdued, surprisingly complex and utterly cinematic affair, more David Lynch than Miley Cyrus. Bowie references offer clues to Lana’s inspiration. As with Ziggy et al, her jaded glamour-girl persona is pure performance, but that doesn’t matter with music this good. ● HEAR \ Hear Honeymoon sampler

CULINARY PURSUITS

The promise Take the winding stairs down to the cellar of specialist providore Spring Street Grocer and you’ll stumble upon arguably Melbourne’s best range of artisan cheeses. Spring Street Cheese Cellar hosts themed tasting sessions to educate and guide cheese enthusiasts. The reality Head cheesemonger Victor Persinette welcomes about 15 guests into the modern subterranean space. We sit at a large dining table with five cheeses displayed in front of us, and baskets of baguette to share. Today’s theme is Toot-Sweet en France and, in the next hour, the charming Frenchman will teach us how to order cheese like a local, avoid tourist traps, and induct us into the great cheese tradition and culture of France. The pay off We taste by cheese ‘‘family’’, starting with the softest ash-covered Loire Valley goat cheese, and moving on to the stronger Comté and rounding it out with a blue cheese, the world famous Roquefort. It’s as delicious as it is informative. We get a fascinating insight into the historical quirks and cultural and

culinary hallmarks of cheese making, some useful tips, and even addresses in France. The pain factor Victor ran us through wine pairing suggestions (hint: cheese prefers white wine), and I found myself hankering for a glass of sauvignon blanc. It also inspired some serious wanderlust for Paris. Who should do it? Cheese fiends and anyone interested in learning more about history, taste and how to choose a cheese like an expert. The bill $30 per person.

WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR DESIGN UPDATE Transurban has been talking to many different people and organisations about the Western Distributor, drawing on the knowledge and ideas of the local community and stakeholders to improve our proposal. We are now refining some elements of the Western Distributorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. WHAT WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE HEARD SO FAR People told us that they would like to see more done to get trucks off local streets, greater improvements to traffic flow on the West Gate Freeway and more information about how the Western Distributor would connect with CityLink and other roads. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve published a consultation report detailing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard so far on our website - consult.transurban.com.

some new opportunities to add to open space, improve local amenity by removing overhead power lines and upgrade cycling and walking connections, including the Federation Trail - we would love to hear your ideas too. We are also looking at ways to reduce weaving and merging on the West Gate Freeway such as separating tunnel and bridge traffic and considering multiple options for connections to the Port of Melbourne.

REFINING THE PROPOSAL DESIGN

WHAT IS THE WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR?

Having listened to feedback and completed further technical work, some elements of the proposal design are being refined.

Transurban developed the Western Distributor proposal in response to congestion on the M1 corridor and predicted growth in Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west.

A key change is the relocation of the southern tunnel portal from the middle of the West Gate Freeway to industrial land north of the Freeway. This allows for new connections to Hyde Street which will help get trucks off local streets, particularly dangerous goods trucks such as fuel tankers. While no homes need to be acquired, it will involve new impacts at Hyde Street Reserve and surrounding areas. In response weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified

It includes a tunnel under Yarraville and elevated road in the port precinct to directly connect the West Gate Freeway with the Port of Melbourne, CityLink and the city. It adds more lanes to the West Gate Freeway and includes upgrades to improve safety and access from Webb Dock. The proposal is currently being assessed by the Victorian Government.

CLIFTON HILL \ 30 GORDON STREET Every resident of a double-storey terrace house must wish that if only they could pull down the neighbouring house to expand their lot, inject light and add off-street parking, life in Victorian surrounds would be sweeter. This residence on a rare double block presents the fait accompli and it has been achieved with plenty of style. Elegant formal living and dining rooms with open fireplaces have high, decorative ceilings, a chandelier and stained-glass doors. The expanded footprint comes into its own at the rear, where a kitchen and meals area opens to a vast family room. Hardwood floors and a white colour scheme maintain the elegant tone and introduce a contemporary edge. A wall of glass with french doors to the rear courtyard ensures bright spaces. The carpeted family room has an open fireplace as its focus and french doors link it to side and rear courtyards. The three bedrooms upstairs share a new family bathroom. The full-width main bedroom opens to the front balcony and the rear bedroom gets its own north-east-facing terrace for taking in an inner-city panorama. Enjoying the period grandeur of a renovated Victorian terrace house might be the boast of many but here it comes with the luxury of space that affords flowing living areas, double the backyard plus a side courtyard, and two car spaces. Hard to find, harder to acquire. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
