in Life, Law & Culture
At just after 1.15 pm this afternoon, on the advice of Professor Martin Drum of our weekly political podcast, View From The Round House, Fremantle Shipping News called the re-election of Josh Wilson as MP for Fremantle on our Facebook and BlueSky pages. Josh Wilson, seen here, plainly is in a relieved frame of mind after a hard fought campaign against mercurial Community Independent candidate Kate Hulett. As we go to print with this story late in the afternoon, the AEC Tally Room Two Party Preferred results look like this, confirming our call - Kate Hulett issued a media release…

Universal Language Review

"What on earth are you going to write about this one?" (Janet) "God knows." (Gayle) We attended a preview screening of the Canadian Oscar entry for Best International Film on Saturday morning at the invitation of Luna Cinemas. Matthew Rankin directs and stars with an all Iranian cast in this award winning feature as, er, Matthew. Turns out it's somehow quasi-autobiographical. We were left with many questions once the credits rolled. Why is that man walking around dressed as a Christmas tree? It's 2019 and someone is still peddling typewriters? Why are there turkeys everywhere? How do people live like…

in Life, Law & Culture

Garry Lyon called it “embarrassing” and “meek.” And I winced at that terrible, terrible truth. Embarrassing. Meek. With just two goals to half time … don’t get excited, there would only be another three after it … Justin Longmuir came down to the bench and sat there, blank, and unresponsive. Ross Lyon had stolen his play lunch, said nasty things about his Mum and pulled his daks down in front of…
