The editor’s desk
When an influential broadcaster like the ABC’s Jon Faine grants a politician the title of “Australia’s most effective legislator”, that is a handle which sparks attention, regardless of which side of politics you are on. And Fiona Patten is, indeed, that effective legislator. Her party had a name change and the original moniker, in itself, sparked water cooler conversation. However, Patten continues to beat the drum for issues that draw Melburnians into a debate. Journalist Peter Wilmoth met the Reason Party leader, who feels she is no longer speaking from the fringes, but in the mainstream. ●

FIRST PERSON
““I am Ben Hannah ” … and I am a gravedigger You don’t really set out to be a gravedigger. If you do, there’s something wrong with you. When I went for the job, my friend was a gravedigger here (at Springvale Botanical Cemetery) and I was packing shelves at Safeway, working 10pm until 6am. I was just fed up with that, I was becoming nocturnal. I thought, ‘I’ll see how this goes for six or 12 months’. Almost 22 years later, I’m still here. Hollywood portrays gravediggers as weird people who do weird things. But the people in this industry are some of the funniest people I’ve met. They counter the serious side with humour; it’s a kind of coping mechanism. They’re really quality people. I couldn’t tell you how many gravesites I’ve done over the years; it would be thousands and thousands. We probably average eight a day. There’s generally 12 full-time gravediggers here at Springvale, split up into two crews. We work at nine sites, including Melbourne General Cemetery, Brighton and St Kilda. It can be tough work, but it’s more about the elements – we’re out there rain, hail or shine. I really like working outside, I don’t mind the weather. We dig for size, and it depends on the size of the coffin or the casket and whether the grave is for one, two or three people. We set them up, and backfill once the service is complete. We do three different depths: five, seven and nine feet. We’ve got a five-tonne excavator here at the site, it’s actually got a fair bit easier. But sometimes the excavator won’t fit down narrow paths, so we’re still doing hand digs and still doing heavy lifting, and a lot of shovelling. It does take its toll with sore wrists, shoulders and backs. You’re constantly going down ladders and we’re in and out of graves. I had a grave collapse years ago on a trainee. He was fine but it gives you the willies. The rules have changed in the last five or 10 years – we still get in all the time but now the grave has to have shoring. We provide a service at a tough time. We try to sit out of sight when the funeral’s happening. Most people would never even see us. Everyone’s going to die eventually, so I don’t think much about it myself any more. Your team makes a massive difference – who you surround yourself with – because it is a fairly ordinary job. We’re all mates. ●

COVER STORY
The voice of softly spoken politician Fiona Patten has resonated, and grows louder as the state election looms.
T
hree years into her career as a “mainstream” politician, it seems Fiona Patten’s time has come. Well, her ideas, anyway. Marriage equality, medicinal cannabis, legislative protection for women visiting abortion clinics, safe drug-injecting rooms, all issues Patten has long been vocal and passionate about, and are either already law or at the centre of the conversation. The Upper House MP and leader of Victoria’s Reason Party – known more colorfully as the Australian Sex Party until last year – has been a thought-leader and agitator on issues that once may have struggled for cut-through but are now well in the mainstream. It seems the community and the parliament has caught up. “A lot of people say I have nudged them,” Patten says. “It’s been more the politicians than the people (who needed urging). The people have been ready for change. Same-sex marriage survey - a perfect example where the community had already moved on and we couldn’t get our parliament to move on. “Medicinal cannabis – our community has moved on. They want access to it, yet the politicians are still resisting it. Having people like me in here enables that voice to be heard possibly in a more effective way.” We are having coffee in the Strangers’ Dining Room at Parliament House. Patten is as natural and unaffected as on her arrival here in 2014, fresh from her lobbying days with the Eros organisation. The only change is a realisation that making laws means compromise, and she’s fine with that. “In some areas being in parliament has tempered me,” she says. “Where I would have aimed for here (points high), I’m really happy to reach here (lower). It’s about not letting the perfect get in the way of the good. I seem to say that every day these days. “When I put up the safe access zone private members bill I think I thought, ‘I’ll put up a bill and everyone will vote for it and it will become a law’. Of course, governments don’t like other people making the laws while they’re in government.” She sees her role as “presenting solutions for governments to adopt”. ABC broadcaster Jon Faine has referred

to Patten as “without doubt, Australia’s most effective legislator”. Patten says: “I have put up three private members bills and they have all become law. Safe access zones – creating 150-metre zones around abortion clinics – the ride-sharing bill to regulate Uber, and the supervised injecting centre bill.” She was disappointed at discussion and a government backflip around which drugs would be allowed in the safe injecting rooms, which opened in North Richmond last month. “The objective was, ‘We don’t care what you’re injecting, in fact, we don’t even know what you’re injecting because you don’t even know. You’re buying it from some dude on the street. You have no idea what you’ve got.’ The premise was to keep people who are injecting safe. And it didn’t matter what they injected. (And) how do you police that? Are you going to test the drugs as people come in? There are hundreds of safe injecting rooms around
The rule of law the world and people use all sorts of substances in those centres and the objective is to keep them safe.” The centre opened metres from a primary school, which caused some negative responses. “I am delighted it has the full support of the school,” she says. “Putting this close to a school where the needle-exchange program has been for decades, where people are injecting in the streets, is actually going to increase the safety for that school. “We looked at lots of different locations as to where to put it, but you’ve got to put it where the use is happening.” Patten says her biggest surprise about politics was the strong level of camaraderie. “I think I looked at it like question time. Right from the start I realised it was quite different. I don’t think I fully understood the intimacy of the Legislative Council – it’s 40 people. It’s like a big classroom. Not surprisingly, you spend a lot of time with them.”

She says one day she was asked to head to a highlevel meeting. “I went in and there were five women in there from all parties, saying, ‘OK, what can we do to make sure we protect abortion laws in Victoria from any attack?’ We sat down and worked really well together. I went on to introduce the safe access zone legislation and I had great support from around the chamber.” Patten also realised quickly the power she had. “I don’t think I fully appreciated the position that I had, that my vote was necessary and that I would quite often be the deciding vote on legislation. That gives you some power but also an incredible responsibility. We have to be across every piece of legislation. “In our office we are across everything because our vote is often critical.”

“I would quite often be the deciding vote on legislation. That gives you some power but also ... incredible responsibility.” FIONA PATTEN
atten was also deeply involved in the assisted dying legislation, whereby in November, Victoria became the first Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying. She says playing a role in developing the policy that went on to become law was the greatest privilege she’d had. I asked Patten about the story that has swept the world – the “#Metoo” movement. “Overall, it has changed us for the good,” Patten says. “As women we are a lot more conscious that we can speak out. We know that the under-reporting of sexual assault is enormous. It’s the notion that there is a voice. “On a much smaller side, I think it sometimes has confused us as to what is correct social behavior. I’ve spoken to male friends who say, ‘I don’t know whether I’m allowed to hug someone any more’. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I do think it’s created some confusion as to what is appropriate behaviour, and we need to muddle our way through. “I think we are still getting to the uncomfortable bits of that. It’s very easy to talk about the Weinsteins and the Rolf Harrises. It’s when we start putting it back into the familiar area – we know that most assaults and poor behaviour against women happens in the home, but we don’t like to talk about that. We like to talk about workplace, stranger danger and the very tragic death of Eurydice Dixon. “We need to be educating our men from a very young age. We do not need to be telling our women they can’t walk home at night.” ●

roadcaster Cameron Daddo remembers coming back to his Sydney home earlier this year after spending 10 days living on the streets, and just standing inside the front door, for what seemed like forever. Daddo, 53, had just had what he calls the most profound experience of his life, enduring a period of homelessness – alongside other prominent Australians – as part of the upcoming SBS show Filthy Rich and Homeless. He had no money and no smart phone, released from the comfort of his home to fend for himself. “I know when I walked into my house and closed the front door, I just stood there for quite a long period of time,” he says. “I was just so grateful that I had a front door to close. I left people out there who do not.” Daddo, who has a Monday to Friday night radio show on Smooth FM, says he will take the experience to the grave. “It lit a fire in me, that’s for sure,” he said. “It changed my life.” Daddo is one of our most recognisable actors, part of the famous show business family that has been part of Australian life for decades. He spent 25 years in Los Angeles, and worked on a number of big shows, including the lead in the Melrose Place spin-off Models Inc, in the 1990s. When he came back to Australia over five years ago, one thing shocked him.
A S C E N E F R O M F I LT H Y R I C H A N D H O M E L E S S
“When I returned to Australia I could not believe the proliferation of homelessness,” he says. “I couldn’t believe it – something was going on here and it wasn’t right. “It was like Santa Monica in Los Angeles.” Daddo is correct that Australia’s big cities – Melbourne and Sydney,
who are abused and put down, daily and nightly. “I thought to myself, why don’t these people just go and get a job?” Daddo says. “But the exhaustion is absolutely overwhelming. “If you are homeless, you don’t have anything in which to put away your

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there are over 100,000 homeless people across Australia every night – in a wealthy, first world country.

things. You don’t have a front door to close, so you never relax. “The longer you are out there, the harder homelessness is to climb out of.” This second season of Filthy Rich and Homeless, a three-part series, includes Sydney socialite Skye Leckie, author Benjamin Law,
politician Alex Greenwich, and singer Ali Simpson. The show aims to shut down stereotypes about what it is like to be homeless, and challenge the audience’s opinions. Daddo is very keen to point out it is not a reality show, but more a documentary, which he hopes will get people talking. It is an experience that took him a while to get over, Daddo says. “It was very emotional. I couldn’t talk about it for a while, because it was such an assault on the senses. ‘I just chose not to speak about it too much, because anything I said felt like I was belittling the experience. “Words could not cover it.” ● FILTHY RICH AND HOMELESS \ SBS, August 14-16, 8.30pm ● Cameron Daddo hosts Mellow Music on 91.5 Smooth FM, weeknights.

me to connect with people and discuss a range of topics,” she says. “I also think that people have become disillusioned with the state of the world ... and reading provides a cathartic and meditative outlet.”
The rise of the online book club is also undoubtedly linked to the several celebrity-hosted reading groups that have popped up. Actresses Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine), Emma Watson (Our Shared Shelf) and Emma Roberts (Belletrist) are among the A-listers joining the likes of Oprah (whose book club has been running since 1996) in sharing their favourite reads with the world. Podcasts are another digital platform modern book lovers are engaging with. Some of the best local literature podcasts include The Wheeler Centre, Readings podcast and the Kill Your Darlings podcast. Shay P. Leighton is founder of the Tough Guy Book Club. Since 2013, the Collingwood-based club for men has introduced new branches in North Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Portland in the US. There are now more than 300 attending members worldwide. “I think that people find there’s something remarkable about doing a thing so individual and quiet as reading a book when our lives are so full of sound and fury,” Leighton says. “Reading increases empathy, mainly for the basic reason that learning the stories of other people lets you understand them a little better. [You’ll] maybe learn something about yourself by accident as well.” ●

he publishing industry has endured myriad blows in recent times, but finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. Ironically, it’s the internet – the very invention that almost destroyed the industry – that is helping underpin its revival. A surge in digitally organised book clubs has led to people rediscovering reading. Some of these clubs are hosted in the traditional face-to-face manner, around a cosy fire with a glass of beer or wine, but many are being conducted entirely online. The Instagram account @bookmateriality is one of the most popular ‘bookstagrams’ championing the online book movement in Australia. Its creator, Marg, a teacher who asked that her surname not be published, shares what she’s reading with her 45,000-plus followers. She likens the bookstagram community to a traditional book club – a place where like-minded people can share reading recommendations and anecdotes about their lives. Some of these online relationships evolve into real-life friendships. Since founding the account in 2013, Marg
has met several followers in her hometown of Sydney, as well as people from England and France. “I think that my followers appreciate that reading can be a very solitary act. The account has allowed

s keen News Breakfast viewers will know, I am a passionate Western Bulldogs fan. When we talk AFL, it is the only time I struggle to maintain any semblance of objectivity. So please bear this in mind as I cast my eye over Bob Murphy’s Leather Soul. The book is part autobiography, part paean to football. The former Bulldogs captain takes us through a life devoted to the game and its rich traditions. We’re taken back to Warragul where teenage Bob is cutting a swathe through junior footy ranks. He soaked up the atmosphere in the outer at the MCG, barracking for his beloved Richmond Tigers and dreaming big about his future. Then we’re in his family loungeroom when the news comes through that the skinny 17-year-old has been picked by the Bulldogs in the 1999 national draft and learn of his ‘‘out of body’’ experience when suddenly training with legends like Chris Grant and Nathan Brown. Of course, Murphy’s 17-year career at the Dogs dominates the book but it is far from a red, white and blue hagiography. He is unsparing of the lean years; the locker room tensions; his personality clashes with teammates like Jason Akermanis – ‘‘We were north and south poles’’ – and former coach Brendan McCartney. Murphy is similarly painfully candid about the bittersweet premiership year of 2016. He takes us through the emotional gauntlet that was his seasonending knee injury in round 3 and the ‘‘aching sadness’’ he felt as he celebrated the grand final win from the sidelines. This isn’t your typical footy book. ●

W
e would always eat loukoumades at Greek festivals, where there would be giagiás (ya-yas) making them. The old ladies would be like machines squeezing them between their hands and just popping out perfect round balls that would fry light and crispy and soak up all the sugar syrup and chopped walnuts. This recipe is my version: I still dunk them into honey syrup, but I add caramel popcorn and chochazelnut dipping sauce. ●

Loukou-my-annas Ingredients (Serves 6) 250ml (9fl oz/1 cup) warm water 5g (1/8 oz) fresh yeast 250g (9oz/3 cups) plain flour 1 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla paste canola oil, for deep-frying caramel popcorn, to serve Honey syrup 110g (3¾ oz/½ cup) caster (superfine) sugar 200ml (7fl oz) honey 1 cinnamon stick 5 whole cloves 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped juice of 1 lemon Chocolate dipping sauce 80g (2¾ oz) choc-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella 100g (3½ oz) milk chocolate,
chopped or buttons 300ml (10½ fl oz) whipping cream Method ■ For honey syrup, put all ingredients into a medium saucepan with 250ml of water, Bring to the boil for 3–4 minutes until syrupy. ■ Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. ■ Put the warm water and yeast into a bowl and whisk with a quarter of the flour. ■ Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes. ■ Beat – or paddle – on medium speed, add the remaining flour, sugar and vanilla paste. Beat until combined/smooth. ■ Cover with plastic wrap again for 1–1½ hours until doubled.
For the dipping sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to the boil, then pour it over the chocolate and spread in a heatproof bowl. Stir until melted and reserve. ■ Preheat oil in a deep-fryer or deep-sided pan to 180°C (350°F). ■ Grease hands with oil to prevent dough sticking. Take a handful of dough and squeeze in fist to push out the dough out. Use a spoon to scoop off a ball of dough and put it in the oil. ■ Deep-fry in batches until the dough has puffed and is golden. ■ Remove the loukoumades from the oil using a slotted spoon, and toss gently in the cold honey syrup. ■ Serve with the popcorn and chocolate dipping sauce. ● ■

Last month was Toby’s Estate, next month a mystery guest is on the cards, but right now Reverence beans are in the grinders. Colab is a “concept” cafe, a collaboration between Brewtech, which supplies coffee machines, and its roasteries. Unlike many concept cafes, this one’s pretty cool. You’ll find it on a Kensington corner, its white walls and massive windows creating a gallery-like space. “Colab is the vessel to show off the roastery,” says manager Steve Calipari, who’s done stints at Code Black and Dr Morse.

“We wanted blank walls, so when people leave, the memory they have is of the coffee.” Plants are the main decor, and greenery nerds can eye off the Schefflera and Pothos – that’s “umbrella tree” and “devil’s ivy” to non-plant types – while makers swoon over the handcrafted, low-slung stools and long communal table made from American oak. The interior is the work of Dan Schonknecht, of Specht Design, who also customises coffee machines with timber panelling and powder coating.

They make pesto for the omelette jaffle with mushrooms and smoked mozzarella from Bill’s Farm, and slow-cook pork shoulder on the bone with Sichuan pepper, apple cider vinegar and fivespice. The Szechuan pork jaffle is a ripper, by the way, the juicy meat teamed with vintage cheddar, mild kimchi and barbecue sauce. If jaffles ain’t your thing, the soba salad has a hot

ore often than not we can identify the cause of our mood swings. We’re stressed because we’re on a tight deadline, we’re tired because the baby just won’t sleep, we’re feeling anxious about a meeting, we’ve had an argument with a friend, or sometimes it’s just life in general. There are always factors outside of our control that determine how we feel at any given moment. There are also times when you’re feeling flat and you just can’t seem to figure out why. What you might not know is that often this can be due to food. I know it might sound strange, but if you think this sounds like it could be the case for you, let’s go through some simple links between mood and food.

“... fill your plate with the likes of brown rice, peas and broccoli, and snack on raspberries and almonds to feel those mood-boosting benefits.” PROCESSED FOOD EQUALS GRUMPY MOODS \
When I go bananas on the treats (which I will admit does happen from time to time; have you ever tried to stop at one square of Cadbury?!) I often find that afterwards I’m grumpy, tired and easily irritated. This isn’t due to disappointment that I’ve finished the block (okay, maybe a bit) but is due to the spike and crash in blood sugar levels that comes from too many refined carbs and too much sugar. When you overdo it on processed treats, your blood sugar levels can spike, but then crash as your body works to bring them back down. This can leave us tired, irritable and therefore not a fun companion. SKIPPING MEALS MEANS MORE THAN BEING HANGRY \ Much like consuming processed foods,
skipping meals can affect your blood sugar control and can cause a serious spike in your mood.
When we don’t eat often enough, we’re playing with these blood sugar levels and this is when ‘hanger’ takes over. But that’s not the end of it. Skipping meals also means we’re more likely to overeat when our next meal rolls around, and depriving ourselves in this way can impact our bodies’ ability to absorb food in the long run.
Now that you’re convinced of the impact that food can have on your mood, take a look at a few foods guaranteed to lift your spirits. FILL UP WITH FIBRE \ Complex carbs and vegetables are awesome sources of fibre that slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream and increase serotonin production, so fill your plate with the likes of brown rice, peas and broccoli, and snack on raspberries and almonds to feel those moodboosting benefits. PACK WITH PROTEIN \ Including a protein
TRYPTOPHAN WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR DIAL \ Our bodies need tryptophan, one of the most important amino acids, to produce our happy hormone serotonin. When we’re trying to include more tryptophan in our diets, foods like turkey, chicken, eggs, and milk are all awesome sources. While refined carbs can also be rich in tryptophan, it’s best to steer clear of this source as they only provide us with a quick and temporary mood boosting fix.
component in every meal can slow down the body’s absorption of carbs, which can help lift your mood and energy, even hours after you’ve eaten. SIP SMARTER \ OK, I know this technically isn’t
a food, but when we’re trying to stay happy and healthy, reducing our intake of stimulants and depressants such as caffeine and alcohol is a must. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

EDUCATION & INNOVATION
Me & My Mentor
MADELEINE DAVEY & JEAN MCQUARRIE SPECIAL PROMOTION
I
t was a Steinway piano in Shelford Girls’ Grammar’s Assembly Hall, along with the encouragement of music teacher Jean McQuarrie that helped musician, singer and alumni Madeleine Davey to an amazing career in music. Jean, who is now Head of Music at Shelford, says she is excited by seeing students like Madeleine succeed.
I was always interested in music. My parents had an extensive record collection filled with Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac and various others. I used to plug headphones into the stereo and listen to albums. My dad is an antique dealer, and when I was about seven or eight he brought home an old, upright piano. I started playing it straight away, I could work out songs by ear fairly quickly, and began to recognise patterns and shapes on the keyboard that sounded good. From there I started writing my own pieces but didn’t think much of it. When I was a student at Shelford there was a Steinway grand piano in the Assembly Hall. Anything that you played on it sounded incredible. At lunchtimes when the hall was unlocked (which it often was) I would sneak in with my best mate Cat and we’d play the duets that I’d written. I was in year 8 or 9 when I became a student of Jean’s, choosing music as an elective subject. At the time, I had only ever played the music I’d written and practised on the sly with my friend Cat. In one lesson, pretty early on, she told the class about it. Jean asked me to come to the front and play something and so I did. I remember she said something like, “This is the sort of this of thing I want in our end of term concerts,” and she put me in the next one, and each one after that. At Shelford I was put on a part-music scholarship, and with that came further development opportunities. The support continued even after school, when I was at uni. I graduated from Shelford in 1998 and studied a bachelor of music performance/composition at the Victorian College of the Arts. In second year my first orchestral piece was performed at the Iwaki Auditorium. I feel so fortunate to have had Jean as a teacher. She encouraged me to write and perform my own

MADELEINE SAYS ...
M A D E L E I N E DAV E Y & J E A N M C Q UA R R I E
compositions and had a very innovative way of teaching. Since finishing at Shelford I’ve composed for film, TV, theatre and dance and have had a couple of pieces commissioned. I spent about 11 years working as a recording and touring keyboardist for various artists like Ella Hooper, The Verses and The Calamine Sisters. I’ve played numerous festivals, toured extensively, and on occasion in support of international artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Counting Crows and Sarah McLaughlin. I’ve recently taken a step back from working for other artists, to concentrate on my own projects.
JEAN SAYS ... I started teaching at Shelford in 1994 after the former principal, Pamela Chessell, took an enormous leap of faith and appointed me. Especially as I had come from a comparatively different industry. I was (and still am) excited by the challenge of building a vibrant music department at Shelford. After finishing my bachelor of music at Melbourne University, I pursued a professional career playing piano and conducting. I also taught singing at the VCA School of Drama and Music
Theatre at Monash University. I came into teaching years 7–12 music later in my career and haven’t left Shelford since starting. Working with the senior choir is one of my greatest joys, as is the challenge of the biannual school musical which usually involves up to 130 students performing. It is my philosophy that if a student expresses an interest in music then educators should do everything possible to support that passion and empower the student. I started teaching Madeleine the year I started teaching at Shelford. Madeleine clearly had a calling for music. She was enthusiastic, creative and she had an ability to work very hard – an element essential to developing any talent, especially in music. Madeleine was all embracing to any creative opportunity, her inquisitiveness knew no boundaries. I admire students like Madeleine for their instinct and dedication to be the very best in their selected study. Often I feel it is as though music has actually selected them instead of vice-versa. Madeleine and I got back in touch recently, and it is always a joy to speak to her. I still have a CD of one of the very first compositions that Madeleine composed at the VCA which is very exciting to me. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

It’s 8.56am and you’ve leapt out of bed dressed in your school uniform because you slept in it to save time but you’re going to be late anyway … Oh, for goodness’ sake, make your parents move to Lucas Street! It’s now a scientifically verified fact that the fast-growing adolescent brain makes its owner sleep later than he or she did as a kid. This impressive new townhouse was probably not built with that in mind ... but look at those Melway coordinates. A sprint from Brighton Secondary, Haileybury and St Leonard’s, this address takes the panic out of dozing through the alarm. It also puts the joy back into being at home. With three living rooms, a covered terrace, a deck and a solar-heated pool, this is a sanctuary where all ages can entertain their friends. Five zoned bedrooms, three with en suites, offer flexibility for a growing family. And why does it seem eternally springtime? Ah – that’d be the 6.9-star energy efficiency. The AirSmart gas heating feels very cosy. Timber-clad, with a landscaped lawn in front, the house has a crisply tailored air. The interior is chic, with polished blackbutt floorboards, grey carpet and stone finishes. Left of the central hall is the ground-floor bedroom, which has a dual-entry en suite with shower. Follow the hall past the glass staircase to a living room wired for use as a cinema. One door along, the laundry has external access and a powder room. The dining and family area gleams in blackbutt below double-glazed windows and sliding doors. The white stone kitchen has a waterfall island, twin Miele ovens and a
