 Neighbours: The Perfect Blend | Interview: Atul Srivastava
It was a general audition, which means I wasn’t being auditioned for a specific part, but from my CV, photographs and showreel they felt they could use me for something, and would possibly write me into the script specifically, as I heard they did for Delta Goodrem (Nina Tucker) and Dan McPherson (Joel Samuels).
We chatted for a few moments before we rehearsed a couple of times, then performed the scene about three times; I found that Jan was relaxed, friendly and good to work with, and that helped me perform to my best in the audition.
They both seem to have a policy of ensuring that actors use their natural accents – my agent said I was also being considered for a part as one of Connor’s friends from Ireland, but as I have an English accent I was given the photographer role instead.

Governor Hobson, for example, was surrounded by colonial riff-raff in the state sector administration, with the practice of jobbery (using a public position for private gain) commonplace, if not universal.
As the author points out, jobbery went hand in hand with land speculation, and "one of the earliest offenders was the talentless Lt Willoughby Shortland, Lt-Governor Hobson's handpicked police magistrate" and later Colonial Secretary.
Mr Hunt notes that "land speculation is itself not a crime, though Shortland's liaisons" (with the northern trader, James Clendon and other speculators) "would render him unfit for public office by today's standards".
