More peopleaCt’s population will reach 500,000 in 2050, according to 50-year population projections released by Chief Minister Jon Stanhope. “While population projections are not ‘population tar-gets’, they do provide a basis for assessing future residential and commercial land release require-ment and also aid in planning for the provision of a whole range of Government services including housing, schools, public utilities, health centres, aged-care facilities, and playgrounds,” he said.

Landcare awardsLanDCaRe is urging people across the aCt to enter Australia’s principal environmental awards, the National Landcare Awards.

briefly

By Megan HagganOUR politicians and public servants could benefit from a bit of mental silence, accord-ing to medical researcher Dr Ramesh Mano-cha, who has been researching the benefits of meditation for more than 10 years.

“Politicians are people who spend a lot of time making extremely calculated and important decisions – decisions which are negatively influenced by excessive mental clutter,” says Dr Manocha, who will host a workshop at the National Press Club on Sun-day, June 14.

“When you’re stressed, your mind is ex-traordinarily ac-tive, and that’s when you react negatively to problems, for ex-ample regarding your hairdryer or your vegetarian meal, or Question Time.”

Dr Manocha says that eastern traditions empha-sise the impor-tance of mental stillness in reduc-

ing stress and other problems that have be-come common in modern times.

“I do a lot of work with adolescent health and wellbeing, and find that many mental health problems are caused by a misbelief that consumption and material acquisition is going to make people happy.”

The information-rich nature of our so-ciety, particularly the internet and social networking sites, makes it even harder to achieve mental stillness, he says.

“These things are all about increasing mental stimulation, and in young people particularly it’s not tempered with wisdom and life experience, and can contribute to unhappiness.

“The majority of most people’s mental ac-tivity at any given time is background clut-ter, something we accept as normal, but isn’t. It’s the internal dialogue which keeps us awake at night, which we can’t turn off.

“Meditation is about restoring your mas-tery over your own mind.

“Our research and other research done in-ternationally has clearly linked the mental and physical health benefits of meditation with the experience of mental silence.”

geRMan lawmakers have just joined a growing group of nations who are allowing people with long-term depend-ency to be treated with prescription heroin. and the aCt cannot even manage a needle-and-syringe program in its new prison!

in the early days of the aCt assembly, our community was leading the world with its approach to drug policy and treatment. in the early 1990s, the aCt assembly and later the australia-wide Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy approved a trial of prescription heroin for seri-ously dependent users until Prime Minister John Howard personally put the kibosh on the project.

the new german approach is only to apply to people aged 23 years and over who have been dependent for a minimum of five years and undergone at least two previ-ous, unsuccessful rehabilitation programs. there are similar programs operating in neighbouring switzerland where 68 per cent of voters in a national referendum in 1998 supported retention of prescription heroin. the UK, netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, spain and Canada form a group of other nations that have been involved or are running prescription heroin programs. according to the “New York Times” “these programs have been credited with reducing drug-related crime and improving addicts’ health”.

in some ways the aCt has remained at the fore-front of innovative social policy with Chief Minister Jon Stanhope’s Human Rights Act 2004 being the first Bill of Rights in Australia. However, it is now time for the aCt to apply these human rights principles and use the proven harm-reduction measure of allowing a needle-and-syringe program to operate in the new alexander Maconochie prison.

The Human Rights Act states: “Anyone deprived of lib-erty must be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person.” sixty-four per cent of men and 40 per cent of women in prison have been exposed to the hepatitis C virus compared to about 2 per cent of the general community. Failure to provide a needle-and-syringe program hardly respects human dignity. these people then return to their families and communities whose interests should also be protected.

“Changes in these areas must be implemented now at remand centres if there is to be a transition to a healthy prison” were the words of the aCt Human Rights Com-missioner, Dr Helen Watchirs. She conducted a “Hu-man Rights audit on the operation of aCt Correctional Facilities” in 2007 that supported a needle-and-syringe program.

This is no longer even cutting-edge health policy with around a dozen international examples of such programs that are run successfully within prisons. the Chief Minister would respect his own Bill of Rights if he implemented it.

Michael Moore is a former independent member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and minister for health. He is CEO of the Public Health Association of Australia.

Blunt progress on needle program

By Megan HagganCANBERRA entrepreneur Robert Leticq likes a challenge – the crea-tor of the ACT Tourism award-winning Privileges Card, he’s now taking on wotif.com with a hotel-booking site with a difference.

Robert says he’s always been persistent, and not fazed by ob-stacles. His initial business ven-tures included a lemonade stand – which he says taught him the importance of cost control – and an early foray into the fashion industry, when he fashioned cuf-flinks from buttons found in his mother’s sewing basket, and at-tempted to sell them to leading menswear suppliers.

“So I was active in the business community from a young age!” he says.

With RoomRates, Robert says he set out “to make something more relevant to Canberrans, and which also has a social responsi-bility component.”

RoomRates, an online hotel booking site, lets users “donate a bed when you book ahead”: it donates 20 per cent of its profit (or five per cent of turnover) to the Red Cross, Oxfam and Wesley

Mission in Sydney. “I wanted to donate to charities

which would use these funds to find rooms for people who don’t have any,” Mr Leticq said. “It’s early days yet, but they’re very appreciative.”

RoomRates also offers dining deals with each booking in rel-evant destinations.

At www.roomrates.com.au, the site is already receiving positive feedback from users, he says: “People like the simplicity of the site, the fact that their booking is supporting worthy charities, and they love the fact that they can dine out on that transaction.

“I’ve always been a great be-liever in one plus one equalling 11. Everything I do is aimed at seeing the potential capacity for relationships to result in dispro-portionate benefits for all con-cerned,” he says.

Robert says his secret is in understanding the way his mind works. “People ask me a lot when I have time to sleep, but actually a lot of my thinking is done and my ideas generated when I’m waking up in the morning and I’m half snoozing!”

cover story

“A LOT of regional and Australian suppliers have been hit by the drought, and a couple by the Victorian bushfires – and when customers know the suppliers and their history they’re very supportive and very loyal to them.”

There speaks Shelley Thomson, protector (and encourager) to the small food producers of the Canberra region.

The ACT region is home to a host of hidden treasures for food lovers, says Shelley, owner of Manuka Fine Foods, but most Australians, including Canberrans, don’t know they’re there.

“A lot of local producers aren’t in the main-stream: I actually spend a lot of time research-ing them,” she says.

“Once I was in the network of small suppli-ers, I found that they really looked after each other: there’s a strong sense of camaraderie, to the point where when I visited one, they’d sug-gest somebody else they knew as well.”

Shelley’s enthusiasm for stocking and pro-moting local produce and foods is obvious; her eyes brighten as she lists a few of her favourite suppliers.

“One is a French-trained chef who makes pâtés, terrines and confits, which he’s very passionate about: the company is Fine Ter-rines and Pâtés.

“He’s passionate about game meats, and sources the best rabbits and ducks and so on…

I found him when I first opened the shop and was blown away by the quality of his work.”

Then there are Petit Vache artisan cheeses from the Small Cow farm, at Robertson in the Southern Highlands. Shelley says that cheese produced from the farm’s little Dexter cows is sweeter than standard cheeses.

She also works with an Irish chef who pre-pares sourdough bread to a traditional recipe, and a chef who prepares frozen gourmet duck a l’orange, Maryland and curry meals.

Shelley originally opened her Manuka store as a Jones the Grocer, but found she was di-versifying away from that franchise’s core concept with her focus on local suppliers and addressing customers’ suggestions.

They regularly come in with empty bottles and wrappers from products they’ve found and enjoyed, and enquire as to whether she could get them.

“The store evolves a lot because of that sort of thing, and because to me it’s important that there’s often something new for customers to look at.”

Shelley’s hidden treasuresMEGAN HAGGAN meets the unshakable Shelley Thomson, passionate supporter of all foods regional.

Curious case of brandingLoCaL confectioner Heidi Ross began business as the Curious Chocolatier in 2005, and after a break for the birth of her second child, relaunched and refocused the brand.

“i asked Heidi to do a tast-ing at the shop, and she got a lot of very good feedback on the new chocolate,” shel-ley says. “the next step was a marketing concept, so i suggested she get in touch with Quantum ideas Design House.”

elissa northrop at Quantum used paper dolls created by her fashion-obsessed mother in the ‘60s as the basis behind the Curious Chocolatier’s look.

Heidi says she wanted a vintage look for her brand, to appeal to the sense of nostal-gia for childhood evoked by chocolate: “Chocolate makes us feel good, and i wanted the packaging to reflect that.

“We picked some designs which suited the flavours of the chocolate – they worked really well, and elissa’s mum was thrilled.”

IF you haven’t yet seen the Australian film “Samson and Delilah” be warned: it’s a fine pic-ture but you will be overwhelmed with shame.

In the title roles are a couple of Aboriginal youngsters caught in a spiral of neglect, aim-lessness and degradation on the fringe of Alice Springs. It is a scarifying story that strikes at the heart of our disgraceful treatment of our in-digenous people. Its happy ending is as unlikely as it is unconvincing.

The Aboriginals of the Alice live in a shat-tered community picking through the wreckage of what was once a thriving culture. And even in the one area where they do have a chance to better their economic conditions – their art – they are exploited and degraded. The result is alienation with no opportunities for the kind of work that offers an avenue to self-esteem.

But here’s the good news: there is a chance – albeit a slim one – that the film might yet help to create a genuine happy ending for the Abo-riginal people of Alice Springs and indeed the whole red heart of Australia. And, at the same time, it could solve one of the other intractable problems that has bedevilled successive Aus-tralian government for the last 20 years.

It is not my idea. It belongs to one of our na-tional capital treasures, Bill Gammage, profes-sor of history at the ANU. But it’s one I endorse whole-heartedly. And it’s this: Alice Springs should be the site of Sydney’s second airport.

Yes, I too scoffed when I first heard it, but bear with me for a moment. All flights from Eu-rope and Asia heading for Sydney – about 80 per cent of total international traffic – pass over Al-ice Springs. But only half the passengers have Sydney as their ultimate destination. The other half is headed for Melbourne, Brisbane, Ad-

elaide, Canberra and elsewhere. Sydney is just the international hub.

Mascot is appallingly overcrowded and in-efficient and becoming more so every month. In fact, as one who has just returned from an overseas journey, I have to say Sydney airport is another source of national shame.

However, if we created The Alice as the inter-national entry point for all incoming passen-gers that presently overfly it and allowed them to fan out from there via domestic services, sud-denly the pressure would be off Mascot. Sydney would not need a second airport – or even an ex-tension to the current model – for 50 years.

The topography around Alice is perfect; the land is relatively inexpensive and there’s plenty of room for development. But most important, international travellers would be introduced to the Aboriginal experience in their first glimpse of Australia. It’s the natural theme for the place and suddenly the Aboriginal people would be the stars of the show. And with that economic engine powering the enterprise, there would be work aplenty for them as the world arrived in “their” land.

If only Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his senior ministers took the time to watch the movie they might well be inspired to think out-side the square to solve the problem – and once they do the Gammage Plan will be waiting to receive them.

Hope from shameBy Robert Macklin

CANBERRAN book lovers can now enjoy an expanded range of paranormal ction, children’s books, DVDs, non- ction and more, at the new Dymocks store located in the upper level of the Canberra Centre.

Owners Richard and Alison Kay, who have operated the Dymocks Civic store for six years, are excited about offering locals a range of books tailored for them, in a larger and more versatile environment.

“Because we’re a franchise, we’re able to do our own buying as well as the Dymocks cata-logue specials,” Alison says.

“We can respond to what the local market wants, just like an independent bookshop.”

At 290sqm metres, the new shop is almost twice the size of the old one in Garema Place, and Richard says this means that certain areas have been expanded.

“Canberrans are the strongest book readers in the country,” says Richard. “We’re well educated and love reading.

“One of our strongest areas compared to other Dymocks franchises around the country is non- ction: history, military, current affairs, politics.”

The already extensive non- ction section has been signi cantly increased, allowing Dymocks Civic to offer a greater range in store as well as retaining its ability to order books in for customers.

“Another section we’ve increased is science c-tion and fantasy,” Richard says. “We had wanted to give it more space for some time.

“There’s also paranormal ction, which hardly existed a year ago but grew to seven shelves in

the old store, and is now even bigger.”Driven by the popularity of Stephanie Meyer’s

“Twilight” series and Laurel K. Hamilton’s “Anita Blake” series among others, paranormal ction has been expanded in the new store.

Young readers haven’t been forgotten, Richard says.

“We’ve devoted a lot more space to what was already a strong area, and created a children’s reading and activity space.”

Events for children are planned, along the lines of the recent “Fairies Fun Day”, and Dymocks Civic has for some time been involved with community events promoting reading, such as the Chief Min-ister’s Reading Challenge and the “Books Alive” campaign.

The larger shop, as well as its location inside the Canberra Centre, will make it easier to host guest authors and other in-store events, he says.

However, some things haven’t changed, such as Dymock’s customer focus: staff will continue to order in books especially for individuals and groups such as corporations and schools.

Dymocks Civic won the 2006 Chairman’s Award for the Best Performing Store in the Dymocks Group.

“All our staff are readers, and have different tastes, so if a customer comes in with queries, there’s always someone who knows about that genre and can recommend books for them,” says Alison.

Dymocks customers can also enjoy the bene ts of the Dymocks Booklovers loyalty program, which offers bene ts including the free “Book-lover” magazine, instant prizes, VIP entry to store events and shopping nights, exclusive offers and automatic entry into competitions, such as the Harry Potter competition a couple of years ago.

One local Dymocks Booklovers member won a $13,000 tour of the UK by automatic entry from the Civic store.

Dymocks Canberra Centre is now open at Shop DF18, Canberra Centre. For more information call 6257 5057 or visit www.dymocks.com.au.

MEDIA coverage of the extent of Rudd Govern-ment ministerial advisers flying first class (at $14,729 each) to the G20 meeting to discuss the global financial crisis seems to suggest an ex-pectation of better judgment. Given payments to the dead, foreigners, prisoners and for new toilet blocks for schools about to close why is anyone surprised anymore? As for aircraft travel, the ALP is leading by example, i.e. leading from the front of the aircraft that is, and clearly stimulat-ing the global aviation industry!

As for the PM, after a while of his absurd pho-to shots in hard hats, it looked more like he was auditioning for the Village People!

M. Gordon, Flynn

Facts to considerIF the Emissions Trading Scheme is going to become the trigger to a double dissolution here are some facts to consider: CO2 is a trace atmos-pheric gas of only four parts per 10,000. Water vapour is the biggest greenhouse gas (95 per cent of the total).

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd trusts the 2500 scientists associated with the Intergovernmen-tal Panel on Climate Change. Of that 2500, only

600 dealt with climate science. Of the 600, only 308 reviewed the second revision. Of the 308, only five commented on all five chapters. Of the crucial chapter “Understanding and Attributing Climate Change”, only seven of the 62 reviewers could be deemed impartial and two of those re-viewers did not agree with the final statement.

In short, just five scientists agreed with the statement of the IPCC attributing global warm-ing to CO2 – that’s a lot fewer than 2500.

In contrast, a petition at www.petitionproject.org shows over 31,000 US scientists that have signed it stating: “There is no conclusive evi-dence CO2 causes climate change”.

The earth’s warming ended in 1998. It is now turning to a cooling cycle with northern Aus-tralia getting big rains and the middle of Aus-tralia having the best season in 20 years, with one part of NSW having its third flood in eight weeks. Together with the earliest snowfall in 20 years in the snowfields, we need Senators who will confront the Green religion and call the demonisation of CO2 a lie. The time to pander to green myths is over. We need bold and honest thinkers in our parliaments.

COMPLIANCE with many of the provisions of the amended Unit Titles Amendment Act will be labour intensive and difficult for unit owners and sellers, as well as developers.

While the amended Act embodies improve-ments – including a clear and timely dispute resolution mechanism, the creation of a commu-nications officer to help owners’ corporations, greater protection for buyers and guidelines for service contracts and legal matters – it also represents significant changes and complex re-quirements.

For example, unit owners face issues over the statutory right to cancel a contract for sale and implied warrantees in sales contracts. Develop-ers need to understand new disclosure obliga-tions and limits on proxy voting as well as the “developer control period”.

Owners’ corporations face new conditions for dispute resolution by the ACT Civil and Admin-istrative Tribunal and new obligations on body corporate management. There are new condi-tions governing the voting and passing of reso-lutions in body corporate meetings. Consent for keeping a pet is also covered. And there’s the 10-year sinking fund plan.

There are changed provisions on owners’ cor-porations’ borrowing powers. There are provi-

sions for dealing with structural defects, entry rights into a unit in the case of an emergency, the appointment of managers along with their rights, powers and obligations.

It seems likely that those who build, own, live in, buy or sell home units will need help navi-gating the tricky new course laid in by these amendments. The Property Council has gath-ered a team of experts to present at a forum ti-tled “New changes to the Unit Titles Act: More cost, more risk, more uncertainty”, at the offices of law firm Mallesons Stephen Jaques from 4pm-6 pm on Wednesday, June 10.

Guest speakers include Chris Miller, strata management specialist from Canberra Units Plan Services; Jure Domazet, director with the DOMA Group and legal experts from Malle-sons.

“STATE OF PLAY” (M)

tHe "enchanting taiwan" photographic exhibition is becoming a regular annual event in Canberra as the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office strives to present the physical beauty and uniqueness of a country that many Australians know little about, even though our Prime Minister perfected his Mandarin there.

In a first-time venture with the ACT Library and Information Services, the cultural office is presenting the exhibition at the Civic Library, London Circuit, until June 30.

– Helen Musa

aDaPteD from a six-episode BBC drama series, this political thriller directed by Kevin Macdonald has great tensions, strong pace, convincing situ-ations and conflicts and enough digressions into clever humour leavening a plot relocated from London to Washington DC that twists and turns en route to quite a different finish from where we expected.

Russell Crowe plays Cal, a self-managing in-vestigative reporter on a Washington daily with new proprietors determined to stop its market-share slide. A Damoclean sword hangs over the head of editor Cameron (Helen Mirren). At university, Cal shared digs with Congressman Collins (Ben Affleck) who’s chairing an investiga-tion into the operations of a company heavily involved in US Homeland Security. Collins’s research assistant has just been found dead, a suspected suicide. Problem is, she’s also his mis-tress, which annoys his wife (Robin Wright Penn) when she finds out.

Cal and cub reporter Della (Rachel McAdams) encounter real dangers as they visit the highs and lows of Washington real estate and society uncovering information that shows things to be not what they seem. Cameron holds the presses just once more while they bring in a great circu-lation-boosting story.

great entertainment + good fun + soused in adrenalin + intellectually challenging = good value.

At all cinemas

FoR this Melbourne family drama, director sarah Watt (“Look Both Ways”) has written an intel-ligent issues-based screenplay about the conse-quences of a major medical event threatening a mother’s life.

in episodes touching on many important aspects of human existence – health, economic survival, child development, grief, disappoint-ment and joy, the existence or otherwise of god, love, anger, friendship – it’s serious cinema. But it’s never depressing.

The film depends on a marvellous perform-ance from Sacha Horler as Natalie, recovering from a cerebral aneurism that makes several daily physiological events life threatening, in-cluding orgasm. Husband Ross (Matt Day) carries a burden more than mere celibacy. the children adjust to the changes. Friends support as well as they can.

With two significant films now to her credit, Watt controls her film dexterously, compas-sionately yet never mawkishly. Don’t stop here, sarah!

At Greater Union, Manuka

in his ninth decade, noted Polish film-maker Andrezj Wajda has made a powerful, disturbing, immaculately-presented film based on the mur-der, by the nKVD, in april 1940, at stalin’s order, of 4000 Polish army officers, including the father of the then 13-year-old Wajda.

Mention of the event in Poland during the Communist regime was forbidden. Political and human rather than military, the screenplay com-bines archival material with a possibly fictional narrative told among a selection of the dead men’s families in an uncompromising determina-tion to tell the truth now that interdiction has vanished.

one could hardly describe “Katyn” as a blithe film with high entertainment values. But entertainment can mean more than sending us out feeling buoyant. By their appearance, many members of the audience, sitting motionless and straight-faced as the house lights came up, might have been children in Poland during or soon after the war. its effect on them appeared to be profoundly thoughtful. i felt honoured to have the opportunity to experience that emo-tion.

as Canberra’s Jigsaw theatre Company celebrates its 35th birthday this year, it’s also venturing into an unusual 50-50 co-production that brings theatre art from the east together with dance and music from the west. in this case, east is Canberra, and west is Perth.

Jigsaw director Kate shearer is joining the director of Perth’s Buzz dance theatre, Felicity Bott, to stage a 45-minute show called “Walk the Fence” for 4 to 7-year-olds.

not that it’s just for pre and primary school kids. With its immense physicality, the play, which deals primarily with the turbulent emotional life of early child-hood, “will appeal to older children, their parents and grandparents”.

“Walk the Fence” will be a first for the Canberra theatre’s Courtyard studio, since it will take 20 minutes to seat the audience. Canberra artist Kaoru alfonso’s set represents the street in which the angry young protagonist Rachel lives and all who attend will be inserted into spots, not chairs. – Helen Musa

“Walk the Fence” is at the Courtyard Studio until June 13, bookings to 6275 2700.

aRe you sweet or savoury? At one of the best artisan bakeries in Canberra – if not the best – you can be either.

Flute Bakery may seem an odd fit for Fyshwick but, for close to five years, owners Brett stockwell and Belinda Brassil (also partners in life) have been serving up sensational quiches, pies, tarts, croissants, cakes and great coffee to a steady stream of delighted customers.

Belinda’s smiling face is at front of house and Brett, the patisserie chef, is in charge of 12 staff in Flute’s large kitchen. He trained in Canberra and then worked in Paris, sydney and Melbourne before returning to the nation’s capital to grace us with his unbelievable talent.

Flute is very Parisienne – cream tones, a wrought-iron baker’s stand stacked with sour dough breads and a classic ciabatta italian loaf with the name of the bakery dusted on it for a special touch (on Fridays a rye loaf is on the menu, as is a fruit loaf). French posters adorn the

walls and there’s a sweet chandelier at the front.

Your eyes go straight to the displays of artisan sweet products and the “worth-every-bite” pies and quiches.

With a great cappuccino I enjoyed a mushroom and parmesan quiche, a bar-gain for only $4. other options included pumpkin and asparagus, spinach and pinenuts, and the prosciutto, roasted capsicum and potato, which one of us relished. another of my friends had, just two days before, indulged in the lamb curry pie, which he claimed was the best he’d ever had in his life (and he has eaten a lot of pies in his life). But he opted this time for the ham and cheese friand which

went down very well indeed. All pies are $4 and we’re talking quality ingredients, pastry as light as a feather and great combinations of flavours.

The individual cakes and tarts are stunning ($5.50 each) and include a Grand Marnier white chocolate mousse, a rasp-berry tart with vanilla bean custard, and the famous millefeuille – a custard with a “thousand leaves”. The plain croissants are only $2 and brioche lovers will delight in the raspberry and vanilla variety ($3). The beignets (jam or custard filled) are $3 and the galettes the same price.

the large cakes on display are exquisite and can be ordered up to 3pm the day before collection. the dome cakes include the jaffa and wild strawberry. Cheese-cakes, flourless cakes, tarts and decadent chocolate cakes are also on the menu and guaranteed to take you straight to heaven.

Flute Bakery, 8 Barrier Street, Fyshwick open Mon-Fri, 8am-3pm.

eVeR since the first media flurry over the pos-sibility of a new global pandemic, I’ve been on heightened alert. i’m talking about the unwanted arrival to our shores of swine flu (aka, according to my children, “the dreaded fine slu”, which does somehow seem to me a more fitting name).

I’ve lectured my children about washing hands, not sharing food or drink, disposing of tissues and getting them to use those alcohol-based hand gels which i now carry around in my bag. I haven’t gone down the path of the facemask yet, but i think that will come soon.

I have also been stockpiling essentials so I can avoid the shops if it all develops into a full-blown flu pandemic. I’ve been buying up things such as chocolate, gin and tonic (because they always make me feel better), coffee, paraceta-mol, choc-chip muffin mix and quite a bit of tinned food as well.

some readers may think these preparations excessive, but I know about these things: With two often-overworked parents, one child in childcare and the other at school, colds and flu seem inevitable for my poor family. If anyone is going to get this thing, it is going to be us. as it happens, the last two weeks have seen me suffering laryngitis and bedridden with some kind of, yeeek, flu.

So I have no problem with preventative de-tention in the case of swine flu. School closures are fine with me. Nor do I have any problem with people kept in quarantine on a cruise ship or after an international flight.

But it seems that many of these precautions are being taken after the horse has bolted; wouldn’t it be better to focus on the people most likely to spread it? Just put them in home detention without any further delay. there are some people who pose a particular risk, espe-cially by virtue of frequent air travel. Members of Parliament are a case in point and i know, from experience, that Parliament House in winter can be Flu Central. But i’m particularly worried about the Prime Minister.

Australia’s most frequent flyer really shouldn’t be indulging a diplomatic travel ad-diction at the moment. it might be a good time for the PM to lead by example and practise safe diplomacy via video conferencing. That way he could stay at home at the Lodge close to the Vicks Vapourub. and a bit of a rest would probably do him some good.

In fear of‘fine slu’

tHeRe’s nothing boring about flat shoes, says Suzy Ivancic from Mania: there’s a few good reasons they’re still such a strong trend.

“First, they’re comfortable – just pop them on and go,” she says.

“They’re also trendy. Wear flats in patent leather, with a buckle, button or little bow on

the front; in two-tone such as patent and matte leather on the same shoe, with embroidery or even in velvet.

“And bright flats look great with black opaque stockings or leggings.”

Family LawMatters

Separated? Make a new willWhen people separate or divorce, they’re often preoccupied with the division of their current assets—they forget about estate planning and protecting their future assets. Here, we discuss the importance of wills.

When should I review my will?

You should review your will every few years or whenever you face a major change in your family structure or personal circumstances, or if there have been significant changes to your assets or the tax laws. Your will should always reflect your express wishes for the management and distribution of your estate.

What if I separate or divorce?

When marriage is terminated by divorce or annulment, or a civil partnership is terminated, any beneficial gift in favour of the former spouse or civil partner, and any powers of appointment, are generally revoked. An exception would be when the Supreme Court is satisfied that the person who made the will did not intend to exclude the former spouse or civil partner.

What if I take another partner?

Generally speaking, under the ACT Wills Act, if you marry or enter into a ‘civil partnership’ after having made a will, your will is automatically revoked. There are some exceptions, including when you have expressed that the will has been made in contemplation of your marriage or civil partnership.

What else should I do?

You should review your superannuation and life insurance policies and make any amendments regarding beneficiaries. You should also review any Powers of Attorney you have granted.

FREE SEMINARAttend a free general information seminar about family law at our offices. Tuesday 9 June 2009, 5:30–6:30pm. Bookings essential: 6212 7690.
