    The man who played everyone but himself

    • Peter Craven
    • 11 April 2025

    Before heartthrobs became brand names, there was Richard Chamberlain. A matinee idol with the soul of a serious actor, he rose to fame as Dr. Kildare, sought after Shakespeare, and stole scenes from Gielgud. His legacy is a portrait of quiet yearning — for love, for truth, for artistic respect.

    What the Church can learn from its exile to the margins

    • Vincent Long Van Nguyen
    • 01 April 2025

    As war rages, the climate suffers and inequality grows, the ancient idea of Jubilee feels newly urgent. Can an economy built on profit give way to one rooted in justice? Can the Church trade power for presence? Renewal may begin where the poor, the displaced and the earth come together.

    Five years on, did we learn the wrong lessons from Covid?

    • David Hayward
    • 28 March 2025

    Covid offered a rare chance to reimagine the role of the state. What might have become a pivot to care and collective responsibility became a bonanza for entrenched interests. The crisis passed. Inequality returned. And the deeper reckoning that beckoned was quietly deferred, perhaps indefinitely.

    The band that could-a-been

    • Barry Divola
    • 27 March 2025

    Glide were an ’90s Australian band set for big things - a new documentary is a cautionary tale about how critical success doesn’t always translate into commercial success, and how the quest can lead to casualties along the way.

    The age of outrage is hollowing us out

    • Max Jeganathan
    • 24 March 2025

    Amid rising hate speech and tighter laws, something deeper festers. In a culture wired for outrage and shaped by tribal algorithms, we’re learning not just to disagree, but to despise. What happens when identity is built on enmity, and public debate becomes less about ideas and more about who we’re against?

    Change of era, or era of change?

    • Andrew Hamilton
    • 13 March 2025

    What feels like turbulence in the present often reveals itself, in hindsight, as the rupture of an era. From the fall of Rome to the upheavals of today, are we witnessing mere disruption, or the twilight of an old order?

    An honest broker trying to find answers: Frank Brennan at 50 years a Jesuit

    • Jim McDermott
    • 13 March 2025

    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.

    Portents

    • Michael Farrell
    • 13 March 2025

    Portents, auguries, challenge my faith. A star shines over a publishing house. They have produced a book by a poet who has never written a word. Poetry bends, pretends, protects, its grand scope.

    • Sarah Klenbort
    • 12 March 2025

    As Australia heads towards another federal election, the influence of big money in politics looms larger. In the U.S., billionaires and corporate interests have eroded trust in government. Campaigns there cost billions of dollars, while ours, for now, do not. But can we keep it that way?

    Flesh is a revelation of what fiction can do

    • Peter Craven
    • 07 March 2025

    David Szalay’s Flesh unfolds with quiet, mesmeric intensity, charting a life shaped by desire, disappointment and disaster. As the ordinary shades into the catastrophic, Szalay’s controlled, unshowy prose builds a world of betrayals, longings and subtle devastations, proving, once again, that no one writes the ache of being alive quite like him.
