Inequality is dangerous. And inequality is at a near all-time high. At its core, the Government’s recent budget not only engenders but actively exults in the creation and maintenance of inequality, a phenomenon rapidly expanding not just in Australia, but around the world.

My theatrical encounter with Don Dunstan
- Brian Matthews
- 24 May 2013
2 Comments
One of the great monuments to the 'Dunstan Decade', the Adelaide Festival Centre marks its 40th birthday next weekend. It was the first capital city complex devoted to the performing arts, before even the Sydney Opera House. For me the anniversary triggers a flood of memories, including a theatrical encounter with Dunstan himself.

Labor's cult of Rudd-hate
- Ray Cassin
- 05 April 2013
29 Comments
In Orwell's 1984, the daily 'two-minutes hate' sees citizens gather to scream their loathing at images of Big Brother's enemy, Emmanuel Goldstein.

The stories of Jesus' trial highlight the triumph of expediency over legality and morality. The Malaysia solution and the scramble to restore it contains detailed similarities. The people of the time are now remembered principally for their participation in an act of bastardry.

Andrew Hamilton and Peter Steele: boys with writing in their blood
- Andrew Hamilton
- 03 December 2010
As I reflect back now, I can see the difference between Peter's urge to write and my own. My hero was the master of terseness, Tacitus. But Peter wanted to find words, and ways of putting words together, that could unfold the shape of what lay beyond words.

Vincent and I were both international students from Bombay. He had lived here for a year while I had only arrived three months ago. We worked in the same Indian restaurant. The night of his attack, Vincent sounded upbeat on the train.

Hitchcock's Easter drama

Jesus Guilty! A slice of Roman talkback

Eight minutes past three, on this very good Friday. Call us on the open line and tell us what you think.... Well, we got him. It's been a long time coming, but, finally: he's confessed.

- Tony Smith
- 27 February 2007
World literature is much richer for the input of Italian Andrea Camilleri, Australian Peter Corris and Scot Ian Rankin. They have mastered the art of presenting modern characters in contemporary situations.
