Has the Opposition Leader dug a big hole for himself with his opposition to the Minerals Resources Rental Tax? Read my article in The Hoopla (www.thehoopla.com.au) A new prize to honour women’s writing (similar to the Orange Prize in the UK) is being founded by a group of young women writers. They asked me to speak at the launch of the prize, in Melbourne in early September. Stella of course refers to Stella Miles Franklin, the writer whose bequest has enabled the Miles Franklin prize to flourish for many decades. Sadly, in recent years, few women have got a look-in on this prize that was founded by a woman. Time for change. Here is my speech: Stella Prize speech September 2011. I appeared on QandA on ABCTV on Monday October 31. You can watch the broadcast here. My speech to a Public Sector Leadership Summit in Canberra last week on the need for (and lack of) a national collective vision in Australia today. Australian Public Sector Leadership Summit 2011
My “laughable errors” Late on Saturday night on his blog Andrew Bolt accused me of “a despicable defamation of [his] wife”, and of “laughable errors, from my supposed previous ‘engagement’ to the apparent assumption that some clearly fake Twitter account was actually mine…”. He also accuses me of “the shameless smearing of his late mother” and “the pathetic sledging of my wife by an unnamed ex-girlfriend of mine from more than a quarter of a century ago”. |
