The Big Issue Edition 326
Anna Krien ventures into the forests of Tasmania, where she is confronted by the long-running battle between protestors and loggers. Speaking to parties on both sides, she examines the questions of ‘jobs versus the environment’.
Also in this issue:
In ‘Branching Out’, Tamar Heath discovers how drawings of trees can reveal the artist’s psychological state; Anouska Sweetman recounts her close shave for charity in ‘Charitable Heart, Fat Head’; and in ‘Who Says?’, Jessica Venables, the young singer-songwriter behind Jessica Says, tells Anthony Carew how a chance encounter with Scottish pop heroes Belle and Sebastian changed her life.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ for this edition is Gerry from Adelaide. We also have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from Steve C from Adelaide and vendor ‘Lillian’ from Sydney. There is also a mention of the Victorian State Street Soccer Championships, and a picture of a dining-room table featuring a painting of Brisbane vendor Raph.
