Sayers hangs on to boardroom seat, but loses chairman role at firm he founded
The great Canberra staff shuffle It's been a busy time for those of us who are fans of the behind-the-scenes movements in the hallowed hallways of federal parliament. This column recently reported that Mark Davis (partner of Katharine Murphy, another recently resigned staffer for that matter) was leaving his chief-of-staff position with Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy. Nigel Bruce is set to take his place. But that shake-up is really just the tip of the iceberg. Maggie Lloyd is stepping back from her role as chief of staff for Catherine King, the minister for infrastructure, transport, regional development and local government. Long-time readers will recall that Lloyd was once a press secretary for former PM Kevin Rudd. Joseph Solomon will return to King's office to fill Lloyd's spot – welcome back, Joseph. And that's not all. Penny Wong 's press secretary, Caitlin Raper, is leaving the job after five years. Before her political career, Raper worked as a producer at outlets including Sky News Australia, the Seven Network and Al Jazeera in the UK. Loading The prime minister's office hasn't been safe from this staffing exodus either. Prue Mercer, who has worked in politics for decades and is one of Anthony Albanese 's senior advisers, announced her departure via a gushing memo on LinkedIn (which included a lovely tribute to the PM, whom Mercer will now 'proudly watch from the sidelines'.) Another Albanese staffer, Phoebe Drake, is also set to leave Parliament House this month, after 13 years working for Albo. Phew! It's almost like a game of musical chairs. We're going to need a few moments to catch our breath. Top me up, Starmer! British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has proved to be a disappointment. The former public prosecutor was always going to be left in the dust in terms of supplying CBD fodder compared with his predecessors Liz Truss (a 2019 Parliament House Midwinter Ball attendee as UK trade minister) and Boris Johnson (how long have you got?). But we were immensely pleased to note that Starmer was recently revealed to be a fan of one of the highest forms of Aussie produce – and we are not talking Vegemite. This week Sunday Times writer Josh Glancy revealed how he caught up with Starmer on a train in Ukraine after the PM met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv along with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Starmer joined the British media carriage and politely refused a small beer. As Glancy recounted: Loading 'Perhaps some Yellow Tail chardonnay?' Peer pressure kicks in. 'Go on then, just a small one,' Starmer says. He takes a few polite sips. Zelensky, he feels, has recovered from his February mauling in the Oval Office and is back on form. 'After about 10 minutes Starmer's hyperactive flacks start looking at their watches. 'I've got to go and see Emmanuel,' he explains. Would he like to take the rest of the Yellow Tail with him, as a gift to Monsieur le President? 'I think that would probably sink Anglo-French relations,' the British PM says with a grin. Well, Sir Keir, you had us and then you lost us. One suspects the Riverina's Casella family won't be rushing to No.10 with a commemorative YT crate. Ever.

In defence of the most hated white wine in the world
For many years, Australia was the UK's primary wine supplier by volume. That crown has been taken by Italy, but we still remain Australia's largest export market. I have to confess, I was definitely part of a cohort of drinkers turned off by Aussie chardonnay for years. Call it the Bridget Jones Effect, but the idea of a big, brash, ballsy oak bomb in my glass didn't appeal one jot. Chardonnay is rather a chameleon of a grape variety, and is easily influenced (and led astray) by oak. On the one hand this means creating wines of complete ethereal pleasure, such as the Burgundian beauties – Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault and friends – where perfectly toasted oak imparts a textural creaminess and elegance that's unparalleled in its pleasure. But at the other extreme, it can often be a cover-up for all sorts of misdemeanours, and the wines feel like you're being industrially dipped in a bath of synthetic vanilla syrup. And sadly, it's these latter, cheaper wines that have had a lasting impact on our collective chardonnay psyche. I know I definitely have friends who are still in camp ABC: Anything But Chardonnay. But that has most definitely changed. When asked what country makes the most exciting chardonnay, I always have one answer: Australia (and I'm not talking about Yellow Tail). Yes, of course France is utterly enchanting and magical for the chardonnay produced in Burgundy, but it so regularly comes with a price tag which is, quite frankly, way too expensive for my wine budget. West coast America has some seriously great chardys, too, but for the sheer scope in quality, Australia has an abundance of achingly cool winemakers producing some outstanding 'cool' chardonnay. As Amelia Jukes said recently on her showcase of Australian chardonnay in London, these are 'beautifully balanced wines with freshness, elegance, and exquisite class, imbued with complexity, depth, and outstanding ageing potential'. It's a world away from All Bar One's 'buy two glasses and get the bottle free' on a Friday night. (No judgement if that's your vibe). There are five key regions to look out for when sourcing great Aussie chardonnay: Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Margaret River, Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. Each of them come with their own unique and beautiful expressions of the world's most noble white grape variety. Many producers are eschewing the use of oak altogether, favouring stainless steel tanks or concrete, emphasising chardonnay's ability to be lean and taut. And where oak is used, it might be older wood, which imparts no flavour, but allows the wine to gently oxygenate thanks to the tiny pores in the barrels. And if it's new oak? Well, it's being used so judiciously that it rivals some of France's finest whites. I really hope you don't need convincing any further. If you're a wine lover, you really should be a chardonnay lover – there's no white grape in the world that rivals its potential for greatness (sorry, riesling). So why not reconnect with your friends from down under with one of these Antipodean delights? The Society's Exhibition Margaret River Chardonnay, Australia, 2022 Available from The Wine Society, £15.50, 13 per cent ABV Admittedly, this has aromas of new oak – but it's a gorgeous, generous and textured chardonnay, with slices of fresh pineapple, white peaches and dustings of vanilla spice. It feels rather opulent and effortlessly refined. It's definitely not a fish-bowl of Bridget Jones chardy. Devil's Corner Chardonnay, Tasmania, Australia, 2023 Available from Tesco, £15.00, 12.5 per cent ABV It can be hard to find good quality Australian chardonnay in the supermarket, but this is a great effort from Tesco. It leans into notes of nectarines and fresh lime citrus, alongside a soft, creamy and very bright finish. Tasmania is one of Australia's most exciting wine regions for chardonnay, but their pinot noirs and traditional method sparkling are also great, too. Moorooduc Estate Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula, Australia, 2023 Available from The Sampler, £31.90, 13.5 per cent ABV It's possible that Kate McIntyre is not only one of the most delightful people in wine, she also makes some of the most beautiful chardonnays I've had the pleasure of tasting. Her parents, Richard and Jill McIntyre, were early pioneers in the Mornington Peninsula, and everything from this estate sings. The estate chardonnay is like tucking into a lemon posset with zests of lemon rind running through it. There's also soft peaches, mouthwatering melon and a hint of lemongrass, too. A beautiful, layered wine with both generosity and mouth-watering acidity. Yarra Valley Chardonnay, Giant Steps, Australia, 2023 Available from Vinum, £32.60, 12.8 per cent ABV A glorious wine to convince any cynic that believes Aussie chardonnay is big and flouncy. This is lean and taut with crunchy, golden apples, slices of lemon, delicate orange blossom and fresh ginger. Giant Steps is an outstanding producer, and it's worth stepping it up and seeking out their single-vineyard sites too. It's the sort of value you dream of finding in Burgundy, but seldom do. This perfectly poised, delicate, light-bodied wine is a masterclass in judicious use of oak. Enticing aromas and flavours of fresh green apple, early summer apricots, drops of lime juice on a salt-rimmed glass and the most elegant hint of vanilla.

We moved in with a couple in their 50s when we were in our 20s. Despite the age difference, we became lifelong friends.
When we were in our 20s, my partner Sam and I decided to do a working holiday in Banff, Canada. Initially, we rented a room in a three-bedroom share house with two other couples who were close in age to us. It was loads of fun, but nobody did much cleaning, and there was a fair amount of drinking and partying. Sam got a job with the town of Banff and soon he befriended this Canadian guy named Billy. Billy is one of those larger-than-life personalities; he's high energy and extremely likeable. Everyone in town knows him, and he's affectionately known as "Billy Banff." One day, Billy mentioned that he and his wife had a room available in their cozy two-bedroom property. After chatting with me about it, Sam told Billy we'd love to take it. We lived together well I'll never forget the day we moved in. I met Billy's wife, Fern, who's a wonderfully warm, very calm, grounded person. She's the yin to Billy's yang in a lot of ways, and the pair complements each other beautifully. As we talked through the finer details of the rental arrangement, I asked her if I could have a set of keys for the property. "Oh, honey, we don't even know where they are," she said, smiling. "We never bother locking the house!" That's the kind of trusting, beautiful people Billy and Fern are. Their house is always open and full of loved ones. When they showed us our room, they'd left a bottle of Yellow Tail merlot from Australia on the dresser for us, as a nod to our home. We felt so welcome. At that point, Billy and Fern were in their 50s, while Sam and I were 29 and 26. Despite the age difference, the living arrangement worked really well. Fern and Bill were fun and young at heart, but also very caring and nurturing. We all helped out with cleaning and often shared meals together. I used to love coming home after a waitressing shift to find Fern on the veranda, relaxing and taking in nature. We'd have deep conversations about love, life, and everything in between. Sometimes, if Billy was home, we'd crank "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 and dance around the living room like kids. I also played "A Horse With No Name" by America over and over; it had been featured by our favorite TV show at the time, "Breaking Bad," and Billy and I often sang it together. It became a bit of a theme song for that chapter of my life. We moved out, but we've stayed in touch all these years When we eventually decided it was time to move on from Banff, the feeling was bittersweet. It was springtime when we left. The deer were out in full force and the sun was still shining at 9 p.m. As a final farewell, Fern made an amazing feast for us and we sat around the fire drinking wine. It really felt like home. After we left Banff, we moved to London for a year and then returned to Australia. As fate would have it, Fern and Billy's daughter Penny lives on the Gold Coast, where my family is based, so we've been lucky enough to catch up with them over the years. In 2019, we even took our kids to Canada to show them Banff, which still feels like our "happy place." On our most recent catch-up on the Gold Coast earlier this year, I was walking through a beachside park when I heard someone singing a familiar tune with a thick Canadian accent. "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain," they sang. I could not wipe the grin off my face as I turned and saw Billy standing nearby, his arms outstretched and ready for a bear hug. Whenever we get together with Fern and Billy, it's always like old times. They're more than lifelong friends. To us, they're family and always will be.

Send yourself straight to The Principal for tasty pub grub
Who's your favourite principal? Professor Albus Dumbledore? Miss Trunchbull? Seymour SKINNNEEEERRR! Mine might just be The Principal in Midland, a bar and restaurant partly housed in a 1901 brick and metal building that does Mediterranean-leaning pub classics and has a wee wine shop full of Swan Valley drops tucked in its nether regions. The heritage-listed venue gets its name from the fact it was once the home of the headmaster of one of Midland's oldest schools. The heritage part of this Midland pub is attractive — all high ceilings, wooden floors and wooden furniture. The extension is more like a suburban shopping centre cafe. Metal chairs squeal on the hard floor like fingernails on a blackboard. There's a nice alfresco area, although calling the beer garden that might get you clobbered by one of the locals chain-smoking outdoors under one of the large umbrellas. The Principal Bar and Restaurant beer garden in Midland. Credit: Supplied The Principal Bar and Restaurant interior in Midland. Credit: Supplied In the old part of the building, two long tables of work colleagues enjoyed a feed on the company slate, while couples and mates were sprinkled throughout the rest of the building. One of the two floor staff let us pick our table, the start of what was surprisingly superb and sharp service for a pub where you order at the bar. Our waiter was excellent. He knew when to hold our mains, checked in and indulged in a little banter without it getting awkward. The Principal has around a dozen mostly uninspiring wines by the glass, including piccolos of Yellow Tail. Let the Yanks drink that stuff. There are some bottles and beers from Mandoon Estate in nearby Caversham worth trying. We shared a bottle of Old Vine Grenache that was brilliant value. It's well worth popping into the teeny wine shop to find something. The Principal Bar & Restaurant main dish. Credit: Simon Collins Part of the reason why we sent ourselves to The Principal was because Plating Up WA runs throughout June. The Midland pub is among 45 local venues showcasing local produce, in their case big, juicy Shark Bay scallops in the half shell, baked with lemon-zested chorizo and chimichurri, with a garden salad for $25. As we savoured these delicious morsels fashioned by head chef Ken Enriquez, Aussie singer-songwriter Alex Lloyd's big hit Amazing played over the venue's sound-system. 'Food was amazing,' I hummed as I licked the shell (surely, such behaviour would earn me a dozen tastes of the cane back in Mr Hand's days). Our other starter was the Tennessee wings ($18), four Pluck-a-Duck-sized crispy AF chook wings offering subtle-to-no spice served with a jalapeno mayo. These were greasy finger lickin' good but nothing fancy. One of The Principal's most popular dishes is the pork and prawn salad ($26), a substantial bowl of pork belly and tiger prawns on a salad of baby spinach, cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced radish, mint and coriander, sprinkled in sesame seeds and fried shallots, and drizzled in Thai nam jim dressing. While I can see why this is top of the class, the pork belly lets the dish down — it had no crunch. Make that pork crackle and this is an A-plus lunchtime offering. The Principal Bar & Restaurant Steak Sandwich. Credit: Simon Collins The Principal is not a finalist in this year's coveted WA's Best Steak Sandwich competition, run by the Australian Hotels Association, but they should consider entering in 2026. For a very reasonable $27, the Midland pub plates up a 150g porterhouse steak smothered in tomato and capsicum relish, caramelised onion and melted cheddar cheese in a charred Turkish panini, with well-salted golden flat-cut chips and tomato sauce. There was nothing too funky here. Chef clearly sticks to the curriculum. The sandwich was fangable, that is, easily bitten through without dragging the steak out with half the accompaniments, leaving you with a bread roll. Like most of menu, the price is right and the food is good. Quick note: when we arrived, they did not have our booking. This is the second time that has happened recently, both times with the same Sydney-based mobile app. Please get in touch if you've had a similar experience. This is not a destination dining experience, unless you live in Midland. If that's the case, then being sent to The Principal might just be the best thing that happens to your day. The Principal Bar and Restaurant in Midland. Credit: Supplied The Principal Bar & Restaurant 23 Cale Street, Midland OPEN Daily, 10am-late CONTACT 9250 2995, BOOKINGS Yes THE VERDICT Midland bar, restaurant and wine shop nails pub dishes with a Mediterranean flourish. Visit the wine shop bursting with decent Swan Valley drops and avoid the by-the-glass options. If Alex Lloyd starts playing, I'm sorry. 13.5/20

Meet the regional Australian brothers who have debuted on the rich list
Two brothers from regional Victoria have made their debut on one of the country's most talked-about rich lists. Ballarat siblings Shane and David Young have landed on the AFR rich list with a combined wealth of $839 million. Their family-owned business, PETstock, was founded in 1991. In 2021, the brothers established parent company Petspiration to encompass their network of pet care brands, products and services. In 2022 Woolworths made a $586m offer to acquire part of the business and the rest is history. But the brothers, who have landed at number 182 on the list, are not the only regional movers and shakers. Canberra-born Sam Prince sits at 87 on the rich list with a fortune of $1.97 billion. In 2005, Prince was a 21-year-old medical student when he founded the Mexican restaurant Zambrero in the capital territory. Today, it has more than 300 stores around the world. Cotton On founder Nigel Austin, who started the clothing business at Beckley Markets in Geelong, is one of the list's most compelling regional success stories. Austin's first store was a tiny space in Geelong behind a butcher shop run by his grandfather. With 1370 stores around the world, Austin is worth a staggering $2.42 billion. Warracknabeal native Tim Heath has maintained his position on the rich list after his impressive debut in 2024. The Victorian crypto king is worth $2.46 billion. Mining services magnate Dale Elphinstone, who became Tasmania's first billionaire in 2019, has also scraped into the top 100 at 88 on the rich list. His Burnie-based empire distributes and services earthmovers, trucks and engines. John Casella and his family, who built their $2.38 billion fortune from the Yellow Tail wine brand, land at number 69 on the list. A vast winery near Griffith in NSW pumps out large volumes of Yellow Tail. The US is a key market for its wine and Donald Trump's tariffs will cause a headache for the business. Farming duo Roger and Gail Fletcher also made the list. The pair operates two sheep processing facilities, one in Dubbo and the other near Albany in WA. They export sheep meat, grain and cotton around the world. The pair grew up in Moree and have a combined wealth of $1.46 billion. Other regional Australians haven't fared so well. Construction mogul Wes Maas has fallen off the list after much fanfare in 2024 about his billion-dollar business. Canberra's Snow family has also tumbled down the rankings with their wealth dropping from $4.1 billion to $1.46 billion. Terry Snow, the Canberra Airport founder, died in August 2024. More than half of his estate, according to AFR, has been given to a charitable trust. Mining magnate Gina Rinehart remains the country's richest person with wealth totalling $38.11 billion. Harry Triguboff, Anthony Pratt, Scott Farquhar and Clive Palmer round out the top five in the AFR Rich List.
