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. ●

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

Wo r d s

PE T E R WI L M O T H ●

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.”

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.” ●

When reality bites In a new series, high-profile Australians confront the harsh truth of sleeping rough.

MARK ROGERS

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.

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

Like many, Daddo confessed that he previously judged the homeless,

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.

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

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

t’s the Magic Faraway Tree of coffee. Each month the land spins away and a different roaster comes to town. 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.

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.

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

Captains’ Call

LEWIS MICHEL ANGELI, JAMES REGINATO & GERARD MCCONVILLE SPECIAL PROMOTION

C

ollege captain Lewis Michelangeli and vicecaptains James Reginato and Gerard McConville have been working this year as leaders of Marcellin College. Together they are working to inspire other students and find their own inspiration for the journey ahead after completing year 12.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A SCHOOL CAPTAIN?

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT AS CAPTAIN?

Lewis: The importance of not being ashamed of who you are and realising your own worth. Selfshame in the past has been a burden to me, so I’ve made progress in getting over that.

Gerard: The main thing that I have learnt is the importance of time management, particularly as I am also undertaking VCE this year, balancing my role as a leader, my school work and my personal life is extremely important if I want to do the best I can.

James: The role has greatly assisted me in developing many practical skills, namely public speaking, interpersonal and teamwork skills.

Being in the position has also provided me with the opportunity to listen more to others and learn about their unique perspectives on the world.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG MEN TO BE GOOD LEADERS?

Lewis: Because it will allow them to attain life skills and qualities that are transferable to the world outside of school. In a way, school is the perfect place to begin a leadership journey, due to it being a supportive environment when you make a mistake.

Gerard: I would have to say the most important

Lewis: For the opportunity to serve a community that has provided me with so much over the past six years, but also for my own self-development.

I didn’t want to leave Marcellin thinking that I didn’t become what I truly could have become.

Gerard: I saw it as a great opportunity to inspire other students and make real and noticeable changes around the school community.

James: I wanted to inspire members of our community to be the best version of themselves and to never let their fears, personal interests or circumstances prevent them from putting their hand up and having a go.

G E R A R D M C C O N VI L L E , L E WI S M I C H E L A N G E LI & JA M E S R E G I N AT O

thing is the skills and personal growth that you get out of being a leader. In terms of personal growth, I have grown a lot mentally and emotionally due to all of the responsibilities and pressures that come with leadership.

James: Having good leaders in school communities is vital as they set the path for future generations.

Good leaders provide a platform for social change and help to lead their inner and wider community across important issues such as gender equality, poverty, violence and indigenous inequality.

IS THERE A LEADER YOU LOOK UP TO?

Lewis: If I had to name a few it would be deputy principal Adriano Di Prato, as my time working closely with him so far has provided me with great insight and memories, and Nick Maxwell, the Collingwood 2010 premiership captain.

Gerard: Previous leaders around the school that were in my house or pastoral group have been great role models and people I looked up to.

James: I have always admired Richard Branson as

a leader and his ability to leave a mark on every person he meets. Branson always demonstrates a passion for impact and change as well as a desire to listen and learn from others in the most humble, yet inspiring manner.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE ANYONE WANTING TO BECOME A SCHOOL CAPTAIN?

Lewis: Become immersed in the school. Talk to people. Participate in whatever co-curricular activities you can manage your time with. All these things are smaller in nature but should not be neglected, because it’s important to understand leadership is not just the big, tangible changes you bring to school.

Gerard: Be genuine and honest. It would be impossible to lead in a way that isn’t true to yourself, be open to being vulnerable as well – it’s a great way to develop personally.

James: Just go for it! You may be nervous or filled with doubt but as cliched as it sounds, don’t let it stop you. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

This house asserts a cheery welcome in red brick, with floorto-ceiling glazing on both levels. That welcome becomes the make-yourself-at-home vibe inside, the kind that’ll suit a family NOT prone toward look-but-don’t-touch pedantry.

The amount of living space plays a key role in keeping family relations smooth here. That goes for indoors and out. When weather restricts al-fresco activity, you can slip down to the retreat on the lower level for movies and parlour games. Come sunshine, take the action outside to the choice of decks, large terrace and private backyard.

The block measures a generous 1143 square metres. Built in the 1990s, the house features an updated kitchen and tweaked bathrooms, but you still get the late-20th century goods courtesy of slate and timber floors, exposed-brick walls, trussed timber ceilings and an arched cutaway connecting the lounge and dining areas.

A storage area and the retreat comprise the lower level.

Take the external stairs to the wraparound deck for frontdoor admission to the lounge, where you can gaze out those full-length windows for green views.

Through the arched cutaway, the dining area adjoins the north-west deck. The linked kitchen comes with granite, provincial-style cabinetry and tiled splashbacks.

A hall off the kitchen leads to the bedrooms. All three have carpet and built-in wardrobes. The main has a chic en suite. With a shower, freestanding oval bath and vanity unit echoing the kitchen’s provincial theme, the main bathroom sits sweet with the whole.

The oversized double garage is attached to the rear of the

FINAL WORD

house and comes with a workbench.

About a third of the block is dedicated to the backyard.

you’ll find extensive riverside parkland within metres.

A decked path winds through native gardens to this weatherboard house. With generous living space complementing the two bedrooms, it is likely to fire-up downsizers and first-homebuyers, especially those seeking that nothing-left-to-do factor. Enter to the timber-floored living zone of the open-plan kitchen, dining, family and living area. The kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, and glass sliders in the family area open to the long, north-facing verandah. Both bedrooms are carpeted and open to a shared en suite. A powder room, laundry, ducted heating and water tank raise the bar, as does proximity to Diamond Creek Reserve and station. â—?
