Editor's note

Legendary Australian food writer Margaret Fulton has died at age 94. Known for her eponymous cookbook which has sold 1.5 million copies, Fulton built a career on the provision of sound, trustworthy cookery advice, writes Donna Lee Brien.
Fulton successfully managed her career and image in the media over a long period, providing a role model for generations of Australian food writers. Not only a writer and editor, she also supported causes she believed in, including a food guide for Greenpeace. But as Brien writes, “it is her cookery writing that so many will not only remember, but continue to reach for”.

It can be tough to train a dog – but mainly because humans are even more prone to distraction and inconsistency than our canine companions. Wearable technology might help us be a bit more consistent.

The seemingly ad hoc collection of nine City Deals announced so far falls short of a national settlement strategy that finally gets to grips with where our growing population might live and live well.
