We’ll consider backing Kevin Rudd for top UN spot: Julie Bishop

The Turnbull government will consider backing Kevin Rudd to become the next United Nations boss if he officially puts his hand up for the role.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says the former prime minister is yet to apply to become UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s replacement.

“Should Kevin Rudd nominate then of course the Australian government would consider what sort of support he would require,” she said in New York.

While the role is expected to go to an Eastern European candidate when Mr Ban leaves office at the end of the year, Mr Rudd is an outside chance and is understood to have been lobbying hard for the role, despite his public denials.

Former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark, who is the administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, is also in contention.

Mr Rudd and Ms Bishop were once direct parliamentary adversaries, when he was foreign minister and she his shadow, sharing some fiery public exchanges. But behind the scenes they were friendly. Ms Bishop’s support would be considered critical to his chances.

Labor has said it would back Mr Rudd’s bid.

TasWeekend Indulge: Many reasons to seek Greek

January 24, 2016 11:00am

URBAN GREEK

103 Murray St, Hobart CBD; licensed/BYO;

lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday; 6109 4712.

Dakos, saganaki cheese, dolmades, rafiola, tzatziki, kolokithokeftedes, skordalia, mousakas, yiros and baklava – the only thing missing is the Mediterranean to dabble your toes in. In all other respects, particularly the food and wines, Urban Greek is as authentic and as good as the best eateries and tavernas you’ll find scattered through that country’s mainland and islands.

Chargrilled Tasmanian lamb cutlets, chunky lemon roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables, bottom, and cabbage rolls filled with mince, rice and Greek herbs.

In fact, given the corrupting influence of today’s mass tourism on Greece’s culinary traditions, what the Kakkos family has brought to the remodelled Garagistes is the real deal, a true family restaurant involving brothers, wives and first cousins, serving “the sort of food that my mother and grandmother still make today”, George Kakkos says.

Some readers might remember George’s father, Tony Kakkos, at the Salad Bowl in South Hobart before the family moved back to Lerapetra, Crete, 20 years ago.

Amid Greece’s economic problems, the family returned to Tasmania and bought Garagistes in March last year, removed the communal tables, introduced a touch of Greek mythology to the decor and opened Urban Greek in November.

The menu is huge and, after two visits, we still haven’t done head chef Vissarion Batras’ food and Pavlos Zacharoudakis’ pastries justice.

We did, however, do the entrees and appetisers some justice, starting with a generous wedge of grilled Kefalograviera cheese marinated in herbs and lemon with a delicious fig jam, cinnamon and rakomelo – a perfect savoury/sweet starter.

Then followed a platter made up of warm filo-wrapped feta with Cretan honey and black sesame (a taste explosion); beautifully flavoursome dolmades with dill yoghurt; tender chargrilled octopus; calamari cooked for nine hours in a rich tomato, cinnamon, cumin and bay leaf sauce; and Cretan-style mini pies with three different delicious fillings and wonderfully crisp and flaky house-made filo.

Greek dips and pita bread.

Among the different flavours, it was the little things that made a big difference – the delicacy of white instead of the coarser red-coloured tarama; the tender Cretan fig leaves instead of the usual thickish and darker-coloured tinned Turkish dolmades; the Cretan honey; and the general freshness of everything including a perfectly chargrilled baby snapper served with a garlicy skordalia.

To finish, for those with a very sweet tooth, there are the classic baklava and halva or filo pastry pie filled with sweet creamy custard called galaktoboureko, or a trio of the best house-made ice creams from a selection of eight flavours, including pistachios from Etna and delicious hazelnut.

To accompany all this, George has put together a good and reasonably priced selection of Tasmanian and mainland wines, with several by the glass, plus a rare selection of wines from some of Greece’s top producers, including an intense, minerally dry Assyrtiko, from the volcanic island of Santorini, and various Xinomavro and other indigenous reds from the Grecian mainland.

Urban Greek is the real deal and is a wonderful addition to Hobart’s culinary scene.

Dolmades $9.50; saganaki cheese with fig jam $13; charcoal octopus $18; mousakas $25;

ice cream $3.80 a scoop.

Picnic permit: councils that charge to go to the park

Packed the picnic blanket? What about the dips and cheese? And don’t forget the sunscreen and permit.

Permit? As Melburnians flock to parks and gardens for Australia Day and other celebrations this summer to soak up the sun and spend time with family and friends, some councils are charging for social gatherings with anywhere between 20 and 500 guests.

At some of Melbourne’s most popular spots for a scenic afternoon, councils require groups to register and pay for a permit, which is then checked by patrolling council officers.

In Port Phillip, which includes popular bayside suburbs such as St Kilda, Elwood and Albert Park, parties of 20 or more people need an $82 permit, which buys them two hours to enjoy a beer and throw the frisbee around. Each additional hour costs $41.

Port Phillip locals who frequent those parks were shocked to hear they would be expected to pay to gather in public parks.

The 30-year-old told Fairfax Media she had “no idea” she would have been expected to pay for a permit for the small gathering of 20-25 people.

“It is easier to get together in a park than at a restaurant, where all the kids can play outside,” she said.

“It is pretty unreasonable that we would be expected to pay for a permit. After all, we pay our rates and other taxes, and we’ve paid for parking.

Some councils are charging for social gatherings in some of Melbourne’s most popular spots.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they started charging us to go to the beach,” she said.

Port Phillip mayor Bernadene Voss said permits were used to ensure fair use for ratepayers and visitors –  there were 1.38 million visitors to the St Kilda area last financial year.

“On public holidays, we can attract large numbers of locals and visitors alike, with up to 80,000 people coming to our foreshores on New Year’s Eve. We’re expecting similar numbers or more for Australia Day, depending on the weather,” she said.

“We have a significant number of popular parks and beaches and we encourage people to share those public spaces to celebrate and have fun in the sun.

“These spaces experience strong demand and are often used throughout the entire day.”

At the Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy, a popular destination frequented by food trucks, groups of 50 or more need a $95 permit from Yarra City Council.

Yarra has faced problems at Edinburgh Gardens in the past, with huge rave-style parties held on New Year’s Eve without a permit or notification.

Mayor Roberto Colanzi said a permit was also needed if groups wanted to reserve a section of a park.

Melbourne City Council, which is home to some of Melbourne’s biggest and most popular gardens including the Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens, requires groups of 50 or more to have a permit.

A Melbourne Council spokeswoman said council officers regularly check large groups to ensure they have approval.

Most Victorian councils require permits if a person or organisation is carrying out activities for commercial purposes, such as personal training. Weddings also often require a permit.

In the lead-up to Australia Day, the issue of “social squatting” has been raised, with some people arriving hours before their picnic or event to reserve the best spot.

The Melbourne Council spokeswoman said it was not an unusual practice, especially in summer, adding that the council very rarely received complaints about it.

“Our rangers are aware that arriving early to reserve a good picnic spot is a fairly common practice in our parks on busy public holidays such as Australia Day.

“Our rangers will often encounter families or groups that have been returning to the same barbecue spot on Australia Day for over 10 years.”

Cr Colanzi said the council had not received complaints about “squatting”.

Mexican tenor to become citizen in Canberra on Australia Day

January 25, 2016 – 12:15AM

CITY REPORTER FOR THE CANBERRA TIMES

Last time he was in Canberra, Mexican tenor Diego Torre was filling the National Arboretum with his glorious voice.

This time he will be taking the oath to become an  Australian.

On Tuesday – Australia Day – he will be taking centre stage at the national citizenship ceremony.

And, he has been asked to sing the national anthem at the ceremony by Lake Burley Griffin to be attended by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Torre will be one of 27 people from 13 countries becoming an Australian citizen on Tuesday in the national capital on Rond Terrace.

The 36-year-old Opera Australia star has been in Australia since 2011.

It was the birth of his daughter Johanna, now seven-months-old, that convinced him he wanted to become an Australian citizen.

“Everyone has been really, really nice to me, so supportive. Always with a happy face. I really like it so much,” he said.

“When my daughter was born I just realised I wanted her to also share all these feelings. I think it’s an amazing way to be.

“So when she was born my wife and I decided Australia would be a wonderful place to raise her.

“Opera Australia has been so supportive and I feel really this is my home. I have worked all around the world and for the first time that I feel that I’m home. I’m working doing what I love and at the same time I found this big family which is Opera Australia.”

Torre said he was living in New York when he met Opera Australia artistic director Lyndon Terracini who “was really excited about hearing my voice”.

“He invited me to come to Australia, which I did, in 2011,” he said.

“My first opera [for Opera Australia] was La Boheme [in 2013] which I sang 23 times in a row. It was a marvellous experience, everyone was really happy and I got some nice reviews.

“So since that moment, to now, I’ve been working with Opera Australia.”

His wife Paula, a Mexican-born musician and lawyer, is intending to apply for Australian citizenship in the middle of this year. Their daughter was actually born in America.

“She was born in the USA but after 15 days she was flying to Australia so I think she’s more Aussie than American,” he said.

Torre said he had never been tempted to take US citizenship.

“I’m a resident there but I never felt the same as with people here. It’s different in Australia,” he said.

“It’s far away from everywhere else. The system is not corrupt like other countries. It is a peaceful country.”

Torre’s first visit to Canberra was last November when he sang at Voices in the Forest. He was thrilled to be asked to sing the national anthem at the citizenship ceremony upon his return.

“It’s exciting,” he said. “When they asked me to do it, ‘Yes, of course. It’s going to be my honour to do it’.”

It will be a flying visit for the star who is in rehearsals for the opera Luisa Miller which will be performed at the Sydney Opera House next month.

Bullen’s African Lion Safari Park to become housing under Simba Development plan

REMEMBER getting scarily close to lions, tigers and bears at a long-gone animal theme park on Penrith’s outskirts?

Abandoned and overgrown with weeds since 1991, Bullen’s African Lion Safari Park could soon be overrun with two-legged animals if Simba Developments has its way.

The Penrith housing and development company has lodged a development application with Wollondilly Council to subdivide the park on Marsh Rd at Warragamba into 428 residential lots and one residue lot.

Penrith company Allam Homes would build up to half the new homes in the Mirragar estate.

“The feel of the safari park will be maintained through the retention of vegetation on site, where possible, and the street names will reference the previous use of the site as African Lion Safari Park,” Allam Property Group director Ben Allam said.

“Also, the site of some of the old dams will be adapted and retained to form part of the new subdivision design.”

The directors of the park, Mark and Brenton Bullen, have provided a letter of authority for lodgement of the DA which could see Simba develop the 42.57ha safari reserve over five years in nine stages.

 

A Statement of Environment Effects, prepared by Siteplus on behalf of Simba, states that lots will range from 450sqm to 750sqm. An existing helipad will be relocated to reduce noise impacts, and derelict toilets, old animal enclosures and other dilapidated structures will be demolished.

The residue lot, which has the capacity for 19 lots, will be the subject of a future DA.

In its peak the park, which had a drive-through area full of animals, attracted up to 200,000 visitors a year. It had a dolphinarium, miniature safari railway and provided a public disposal service for unwanted livestock.

MEMORIES ROAR BACK TO LIFE FOR FORMER RANGER

Steven Jackson, of Wallacia, was employed as a ranger at Bullen’s African Lion Safari when it first opened in 1968 and fondly remembers his “pet” lioness, Doris.

“Doris used to lie on the roof of my jeep, and it would sag in. Anywhere I parked she’d jump up on the roof,’’ Mr Jackson said. “I used to tickle her toes.”

The lioness was never far from the then 17-year-old’s side, he said, adding: “She used to follow me everywhere. She even had a go at ice-cream — Mr Whippy.

“She’d had her claws removed because she was always getting into too much trouble with the other lions. She wouldn’t do anything to the cars (driving through the site) though.”

Steven Jackson at Bullen’s African Lion Safari park where he looked after about 10 lions and lionesses.

A former Water Board employee, Mr Jackson had just completed work on a second pipeline, linking Warragamba Dam and Prospect Reservoir, when the opportunity arose to work at the park.

Despite having no animal experience, he was hired as one of three rangers, responsible for the supervision of about 10 lions and lionesses. So was he scared?

“No, in those days I was young and stupid,” he said.

The biggest of the lions in his care, Gordo, weighed in at about 270kg.

“It took about six of us (to carry him),” Mr Jackson said.

“We drive past (the site) pretty regularly; it’s only memories now. They were good days when I look back.”

He credited the park with creating a lot of local jobs.

Mr Jackson will be attending the eighth annual Warragamba reunion along with Keith Stockwell, who used to feed the lions at the park.

The pair started working there in the same year and have remained lifelong friends.

“They’d get horses’ heads from the knackery and they’d cut them in half with an axe,” Mr Jackson recalled. “Keith would then feed them from a tall cage on a Toyota ute.”

The African Lion Safari in Warragamba attracted about 200,000 visitors in its hey day.

STEP BACK IN TIME

● Stafford Bullen, son of circus founder Alfred Percival Bullen, opened African Lion Safari at Warragamba in 1968

● It was closed to the public in 1991

● The family continued to keep a private menagerie at Wallacia until 1995 when lionesses escaped and killed a dog. A bear and water buffalo also escaped the park

● The Warragamba reunion is open to all past and present residents, and those who worked at Bullens African Lion Safari Park

● The informal get-together is at Warragamba Workers Club on Saturday, March 8, from 11am

Coles supermarket puts up dodgy flags for Australia Day

January 24, 2016 – 4:07AM

Lisa Yallamas

Coles Toowong’s patriotic celebration of Australia Day features a line of Australian flags hanging from the supermarket’s ceiling, but all the flags have the Southern Cross printed the wrong way.

The iconic constellation of stars, the Southern Cross, features five stars – Alpha, Beta (also known as Mimosa), Delta, Gamma and Epsilon Crucis – that are 10 to 20 million years old.

A Brisbane Times reader snapped these ‘Australian flags’ at the Coles supermarket in Toowong, Brisbane. The Southern Cross is facing the wrong way. Photo: Supplied

And while the closest is 88 light-years from Earth and the furthest 364 light-years away, the little star (Epsilom Crucis) always appears on the right side – not the left – under Delta.

The diagonal stripes of the Union Jack have also been reversed on the flag.

On Saturday, a supervisor at the Toowong supermarket said he did not realise the flag design was wrong and did not know how long the flags had been flying.

The National Flag Association recommends Coles get flags right for ANZAC Day. Photo: Supplied

National Flag Association president Allan Pidgeon commended Coles for flying the flag on Australia Day but recommended that they get it right for ANZAC Day.

“It’s great that Coles is showing pride in Australia but I encourage them to make every effort to replace the ones that aren’t accurate,” Mr Pidgeon said.

“It’s a national symbol that must be respectfully treated.

Mr Pidgeon suspected that the flags were manufactured overseas, however the association experienced a similar problem a few years ago when it ordered flags from an Australian supplier that were delivered with the Union Jack reversed.

“It was quite awkward because we wanted to support Australian manufacturers,” he said. “It would be very poor form for Coles to fly these flags on ANZAC Day, which is a more solemn day.”

Guns ‘n’ Roses steak challenge proves too much for Gold Coast carpenter Byron Wallace

THE Noonamah Tavern’s Guns ’n’ Roses steak challenge has bucked off another contender.

Named after an undefeated rodeo bull, the eating contest at the newly rebranded Noonamah Rodeo Steakhouse has so far lived up to its name.

Challenger Byr­on Wallace said he managed to get through two-thirds of the feast, which included a 1.5kg steak, chips, wedges, mashed potato and vegetables.

“I just tried to eat the heavier stuff first and save the salad for last, but the heap of mashed potato they threw on the plate was my undoing,” he said.

“I had the steak medium rare and I was surprised how well it was cooked for a steak of its size.”

The Gold Coast carpenter said he was unprepared as he agreed to the challenge only yesterday morning after the original candidate pulled out.

“I’ll certainly give it another crack now that I’ve had a go at it,” he said.

Restaurant manager Andy Wixted said the contest was designed to test the biggest of eaters.

“We wanted it to be a real challenge and we needed it to be in the same league as the undefeated rodeo bull it was named after,” he said.
