He lived in a room here when I was 21 and he was 26. In those days, Potts Point was unconventional and impoverished, home to people who minded their own business, which was largely conducted at night.</p><p>His room was narrow, with a bed and a wardrobe housing a few shirts on wire hangers. A window opened on to a wall. There was a bathroom on the same floor. I could stay there when he was away; I could borrow a shirt. When he wasn’t away I stayed in a friend’s apartment on New South Head Road and walked to Potts Point to visit him. At the time, I was writing a thesis on the fiction of Samuel Beckett. As I wrote I grew more and more uneasy about the loss of this thesis, and I began to carry my work with me in a small suitcase for safekeeping. With my suitcase and my plain man’s shirt I wasn’t of much interest to the people on the street. I kept writing. The suitcase became heavier and heavier, for it now contained books and all my drafts. I carried it to my brother’s concerts. We began to share this burden, as we walked about the city. Once he stopped and put it down, flexing his fingers. “You do realise I make my living with my hands,” he said, before he picked it up again.</p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/27/the-music-of-the-virus-sadness-relief-and-communal-consolation">Continue reading...</a> Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:00:26 GMT https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2t3db_5i4nkJJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6ZzDsDP1BKhVimD8I-44BetBu4lX4G3ucK41_bQ943NTKBsVEKkiEWbwKgh9MC6EDp53yjHUxTZ7pjNNP4bHgGwHQts1bLeR_cqcYryYMfiHo_xsmJstNZnuUWUmr6WRkA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2raW_930Y6XgJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6ZzDsDP1BKhVimD8I-44BetBu4lX4G3ucK41_bQ943NT-auHmyQjDDh_TcIluytEUD0tSbr2lyzjg5hialRAZ451U-C1o8yVLyY36fZRSiiAMw1Svy7WcCF9hxb1SXIUCf_Ktx4AgJplh2awLF9bCnKJNXBntlek9S0OA0ra3m_l <img src="https://api.follow.it/rssubscribers/rss_show_story_count/425688270/355374" border=0 width="1" height="1" alt="Story 425688270" title="Story 425688270"> <p>There are allegations of money laundering, bags of cash being deposited in high-roller room and organised crime links</p><p>As a casino operator, Crown Resorts knows a thing or two about high stakes.</p><p>But what’s unfolding at the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority inquiry into the suitability of Crown to hold the high-roller casino licence at Barangaroo in Sydney is enough to make even a seasoned gambler sweat.</p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/27/stakes-are-high-as-inquiry-tosses-up-whether-crown-resorts-is-fit-to-hold-a-nsw-casino-licence">Continue reading...</a> Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:00:25 GMT https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2raW_930Y6XgJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6ZzDsDP1BKhVimD8I-44BetBu4lX4G3ucK41_bQ943NT-auHmyQjDDh_TcIluytEUD0tSbr2lyzjg5hialRAZ451U-C1o8yVLyY36fZRSiiAMw1Svy7WcCF9hxb1SXIUCf_Ktx4AgJplh2awLF9bCnKJNXBntlek9S0OA0ra3m_l https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2rogM69CMWZmJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6ZzDsDP1BKhVimD8I-44BetBu4lX4G3ucK41_bQ943NTrwVZdZFkD4hUXiSyQ1PMUeKOF6qMyi3anWGIhQ-c65hiB6-zxDT8L4F2UmnZMWYiBqMOdBN73Ldc6zSHbT5qYr1GZH-cSBnb7_KKG98-A2SbNBgLdhYh-Y2BI9SUjH9G <img src="https://api.follow.it/rssubscribers/rss_show_story_count/425688267/355374" border=0 width="1" height="1" alt="Story 425688267" title="Story 425688267"> <p>Disadvantaged areas already ravaged by the virus will be devastated when government subsidies are cut</p><p>If the slogan of 2020 is “We’re all in this together”, perhaps it should come with an asterisk: *except for those with less, who are hurting more.</p><p>Covid-19 hasn’t torn through Australia as it has the United States, Brazil, India and much of Europe, but the economic impact has exposed gaping inequities in almost every facet of our lives.</p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/27/we-should-not-pretend-everybody-is-suffering-equally-covid-hits-australias-poor-the-hardest">Continue reading...</a> Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:00:25 GMT https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2rogM69CMWZmJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6ZzDsDP1BKhVimD8I-44BetBu4lX4G3ucK41_bQ943NTrwVZdZFkD4hUXiSyQ1PMUeKOF6qMyi3anWGIhQ-c65hiB6-zxDT8L4F2UmnZMWYiBqMOdBN73Ldc6zSHbT5qYr1GZH-cSBnb7_KKG98-A2SbNBgLdhYh-Y2BI9SUjH9G https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/1SvWV7v9Vfyh_-cmF2gi2u9A2QojEwcDJV6X_rj7zkE7j9jcqhnb6RrIh3v4SYtXioVnHaVQKoiQajHVAX5GJy4tfROuofEtMj8i7mSxHQhX4UP-v-ekVfr-haOHSq5Wu_olYB2sXU0Mavy7MqGTtS7iTd_eNSHAwPVgcoobiNc <img src="https://api.follow.it/rssubscribers/rss_show_story_count/425688266/355374" border=0 width="1" height="1" alt="Story 425688266" title="Story 425688266"> <p>Over 40 years John and Angie have learned that commitment means not taking the easy way out</p><p><strong>Names:</strong> Angie and John Liveris<br><strong>Years together: </strong>45<br><strong>Occupations:</strong> Customer service and bus driver</p><p>When John and Angie Liveris decided to tie the knot on 13 September 1980, they were lucky enough to have their pick of venues on a Saturday, usually the most sought-after day of the week for weddings.
