Before discovering microphones he played the satellite tennis circuit in Europe. When it became apparent that the guy on the other side of the net was hitting the ball inside the lines more than he was and that the umpire would not change his call (no matter how much he politely enquired!), David became LTA-qualified and coached tennis instead.

Public servant flight perks slashed in major travel policy shake-up
A review of federal government travel procurement has recommended public servants fly economy class on all services under three hours; not accept cabin upgrades; and declare any 'gifts or benefits' such as Chairman's Lounge access. The Whole of Australian Government review of public service travel policy was flagged by the aviation white paper amid claims Qantas was getting the lion's share of flight bookings — despite existing policy requiring departments to select the cheapest and most practical fare. The review was completed in late 2024, but kept under wraps by Finance Minister Katy Gallagher during a consultation phase. Published without fanfare on the finance department website, the review found the current travel procurement policy had delivered $260m in savings from January 2022 to December 2023. However, it found further savings were possible 'through a reduction of business class use on flights under 3 hours, encouraging simple international bookings to be made online, and applying changes to the air travel booking system that aim to positively increase compliance with the government travel policy. Economy class must be set as the standard class of travel for all travellers, including SES (senior executive service) officers, on flights less than 3 hours in duration on domestic and international flights.' Business class bookings found they accounted for just 4 per cent of domestic travel, but 8 per cent of domestic travel spend. 'For international bookings, business class accounts for 25 per cent of bookings but 45 per cent of spend,' the review said. Public servants will have to justify their choice if they choose a flight with a more expensive ticket price than that available on the day, and the travel policy will be reviewed every two years. The condition that government travellers did not select flights on the basis of airline loyalty programs remained, with public servants allowed to collect status credits but not points. But that privilege could be removed in future, with the review noting 'the suppression of status credits' was an issue to be canvassed with the market. On the topic of upgrades, the review found being upgraded should not be accepted 'unless required for operational reasons'. 'For example — failure to accept the upgrade may impact on business needs — that is being bumped from a flight,' the report said. 'When accepted, upgrades should be declared (and) officials must not accept any upgrade to first class.' Government membership of Qantas's exclusive Chairman's Lounge and Virgin Australia's Beyond Lounge will be more transparent — with the review promising to publish such details for 'key management personnel'. 'This will include information on sectors flown, split by airline, for both domestic and international travel, updated every 6 months,' the report said. Government travellers accounted for 3.3 per cent of Qantas passengers, 1.4 per cent of Virgin Australia customers and 0.2 per cent of Jetstar's passengers. On the high-traffic golden triangle routes between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Qantas carried the lion's share of public servants and government officials ahead of Virgin Australia. Airlines are considering the report. Virgin Australia's submission to the review claimed there was considerable preference for Qantas and the government was paying too much for fares.

What is the experience of foraging really like?
A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking I'm deep in a state pine forest, the scent of damp earth curling into my lungs. It's almost completely silent, except for the trees shifting in the breeze. I'm alone, wearing a yellow raincoat not just for cheer, but visibility. And then, I see it. Nestled amongst the fallen pine needles, a delicate orange cap curving up at the edges with visible concentric rings and a bruised green edge. I gently slice it with my foraging knife and orange milk seeps out. Saffron milk cap – I've found my first edible mushroom. Foraging, especially as a chef, feels like plugging back into something primal and profound – an ancient method of connecting with the food that we eat. But first, what even is foraging? Foraging, by definition, refers to the practice of searching for and gathering food from the wild. A skill that dates back to ancient times, foraging for food in the wild is gaining renewed popularity across Australia. Though it is no longer a survival skill necessary in our modern, plugged in world, it's a growing movement that appeals to urban and rural communities alike. The growing popularity of urban foraging Diego Bonetto, a respected Australian forager and educator, explains that foraging is rising in popularity amongst diverse groups who attend his workshops. Young families, gardeners, and bush regenerators, environmentalists, alternative medicinal practitioners and elder migrants flock to Bonetto's workshops, all of whom are seeking to engage with nature in a more meaningful way through foraging.

Credit: Sireshan Kander 'Foraging for wild food and medicine is a gateway into a deeper connection with our ecologies,' Diego explains, and those who 'want a more connected life, want the knowledge as they can see the potential for a participative approach to nature, in all of its abundance.' Foraging offers something rare in this modern day and age: connection with nature, the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of harvesting your own food. To be a true forager requires time, study and respect, but the pay-offs are well worth the investment. Though foraging may seem simple, it requires a complex understanding of the environment, the plants and fungi that thrive there. More than just a set of skills learned from a book or video, foraging is a mindset that begins with understanding the seasons, respecting the cycle of nature and knowing what to take, how much and when. Though there are plenty of online and book resources helping people understand the meaning of what it is to forage, it's essential that novice foragers learn from seasoned guides directly in the field, as misidentifying plants or mushrooms can have dangerous consequences. It is advisable to be guided by experts especially for first-time foragers. Many plants change the shape of their leaves over time, making identification challenging. Many fungi (whether edible or poisonous) closely resemble one each other, with very subtle differences in their identifying features. 'It's not enough to do a quick google search and assume that's enough to forage safely,' Bonetto advises, 'It is incredibly important for novice foragers to walk with an expert forager as a first step in order to lock in key identifying features of both edible mushrooms and their poisonous lookalikes. It's easy to make a mistake as some mushrooms are very hard to tell apart.' A good foraging teacher will help you identify and memorise key identifying features for what foods to pick, including specific shape, size, smell and colour to help teach you the confidence to practice foraging on your own. The forgotten art of foraging My own journey as a forager first started in the inner west where we learned to search for lilly pillies and pink peppercorns which led to a seaside foraging class to pick warrigal greens, followed by multiple mushroom foraging classes. Each new experience deepened my appreciation for the abundance of wild food around us and the ancient practice of connecting directly with the food we consume. Australia is packed with native herbs and spices - and they may be more accessible than you think. Source: Instagram / Gayle and Mike Quarmby/Instagram It took months of planning to secure a spot at Diego's coveted beginner mushroom workshop in Oberon. We arrived in the forest, baskets-in-arms, where Diego stood beside a long table lined with freshly picked mushroom specimens – both edible and toxic. He carefully walked us through the key identifying features – the cap, gills, stipe (or stem), the veil, subtle colour changes and even the scents that can present themselves in mushrooms. Armed with this knowledge, we headed into the forest to put our knowledge to the test. On our return, Diego meticulously sorted through our mushroom finds, inspecting each specimen to ensure that nothing poisonous had slipped into our baskets. It's easy to see the appeal of mushroom foraging in particular as a growing number of people look to learn how they can 'shop' in the supermarket of their backyard. At Sydney's Carriageworks market, prized foraged mushrooms such as slippery jacks and saffron milk caps can fetch up to $80 per kilo – that's up to seven times more expensive than your average supermarket button mushroom. After a few weeks of carefully reviewing my workshop notes, I finally felt confident enough to try foraging enough alone. I selected an unmarked patch of state pine forest in Oberon to explore. No guide, no group, just me, my knife and the trees. Each foraged mushroom I found felt like I was uncovering hidden treasure and I filled my small basket with mixed funghi. On my return home, I made a simple wild mushroom mac and cheese. Every bite was a reminder that the patience, learning and respect for the process had all been worth it. And how much I couldn't wait to dive straight back into the forest next season. Want to try foraging for yourself? Here are five tips to get started: Learn from the experts: Before venturing out on your own, take a class or join a guided foraging tour to understand the basics of plant and mushroom identification. Start simple: Focus on easily identifiable species to build confidence before expanding your knowledge. Know your terrain: Research local foraging locations and seasonal climate conditions to ensure peak foraging conditions. Harvest with care: Pick only what you need, ensuring you take from abundance and select specimens at their peak condition. Respect the forest, leaving it undisturbed and un-littered as you leave. Test your tolerance: Wild foods can be challenging to digest for some people. Taste small quantities to assess your tolerance before eating larger amounts.
