True Colours: TV Review by Siobhan Mullany
This four-part TV series – the first ever NITV-SBS Drama co-production – is a slow burn. This series does not shy away from the complexity of the issues in a remote community. The use and abuse of cultural knowledge is a central theme.
Murder Monday: Sue Williams
Sue Williams has an unusual background for a crime writer. She has a PhD in marine biology and has worked as a science writer and chartered accountant. Her four novels featuring Cass Tuplin are set in the tiny town of Rusty Bore in the Mallee. Cass’s café might sell fish and chips but it’s a hell of a long way from the sea … Her latest book is Death at the Belvedere (just out with Text Publishing).

The Heron’s Cry

You Had It Coming

The Killing Streets
The bodies of the first identified victims, Hilda White and Iris Marriott, were found in 1932. That year is often remembered as the year the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened with great fanfare, but at the time Sydney was still suffering through the Great Depression, with high unemployment and associated poverty and homelessness.
