January 15: A Bloody Good Rant
Thomas Keneally …
in conversation with Bill Kable

Thomas Keneally has been observing, reflecting on and writing about Australia and the human condition for well over fifty years. In this deeply personal and passionately drawn collection he draws on a lifetime of engagement with the great issues of our recent history and his own moments of discovery and understanding.
He writes with unbounded joy of being a grandparent, and with intimacy and insight about the prospect of death and the meaning of faith. He is outraged about the treatment of Indigenous Australians and refugees, and argues fiercely against market economics and the cowardice of climate change deniers.

 

January 22:Treasure and Dirt
Chris Hammer …
in conversation with Bill Kable

 In the desolate outback town of Finnigans Gap, police struggle to maintain law and order. Thieves pillage opal mines, religious fanatics recruit vulnerable young people and billionaires do as they please.
Then an opal miner is found crucified and left to rot down his mine. Nothing about the miner’s death is straightforward. A Sydney homicide detective is sent to investigate, only to face allegations and internal investigations.

 

January 29: So You Think You Know What’s Good for You?
Dr Norman Swan …
in conversation with Bill Kable

 For over 30 years, Dr Norman Swan has been delivering straight, honest, common-sense health information to ordinary Australians as both physician and broadcaster. And when Australia needed clear, scientifically backed COVID-19 facts and advice, it was Norman Swan who stepped up every day to provide the answers we required.
After many years of listening, Norman Swan knows what medical issues people are concerned about. He replaces medical myths, half-truths and misconceptions with the information you need to make better decisions about your family’s health.
