Edition 307
Australian writer Chloe Hooper talks to Jo Case about her first non-fiction book, The Tall Man: an intimate investigation into the death in custody that shook Palm Island.
Also in this issue:
‘The Lambs in Winter’: Michael Green discovers that winter rain, as well as drought, can devastate farmers, and Anthony Morris talks to Judy Craymer, the woman behind Mamma Mia! – the movie and musical – in ‘The Winner Takes it All’.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ for this edition is Colene from Perth. We also have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from John E from Brisbane, Alaric G from Adelaide, and Melbourne’s Salvatore Privitera and Pam S, as well as a photo of Adelaide vendor Barry and Natasha Stott Despoja selling The Big Issue.
Watch Alan Attwood introduce this edition at the fortnightly vendors’ bbq breakfast.
