Frank Brennan wears his prominence lightly. A priest, lawyer, and tireless advocate for Indigenous rights and refugees, he is as at home in political corridors as he is at the dinner table, welcoming friends with stories and good cheer. Now, celebrating 50 years as a Jesuit, he reflects on faith, justice, and a life of service.
In Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar, Belle Gibson’s wellness scam has been repackaged for the streaming era, perfectly illustrating how news, entertainment, and advertising function as overlapping parts of the same machinery to keep us consuming content.

In his new memoir, he succeeds in taking conversations of the most ordinary kind and bringing them to life, recounting oddly spellbinding encounters with figures like Cormac McCarthy, conjuring up the voices in narrative brimming with humour, vulnerability, and grace.
Australia's national day remains a divisive symbol, rooted in colonial history. As the country grapples with issues of war, inequality, and climate change, the call for a more inclusive, meaningful celebration grows. How can a national day honour both the complexity of our history and the dignity of all Australians?
Top Australian universities, including the Go8, are underperforming in teaching quality, with recent surveys revealing student dissatisfaction and disengagement. Despite their research reputation, top institutions are failing to meet student expectations, highlighting the need for urgent reform to improve teaching standards.
To close the year for Eureka Street, the editorial team are taking a step back to reflect on the character of 2024. What did it demand of us? What did it teach us about ourselves, and the world we inhabit?
