Fascinating history of Melbourne's ill-fated international quest for a monument to rival the Sydney Opera House. First in a 3-part series with @MillarRoyce to commemorate 21 years of Fed Square.
theage.com.au
Two decades before Melbourne finally got Federation Square, a major competition gripped the imagination of the city - and the world - for the space. This is what they came up with.

An honour to write this one - @theage newsroom is not the same without our raconteur-in-chief Peter Anthony.
theage.com.au
He fine-tuned a hell of a lot of syntax and took on the world, one comma at a time. But Peter Anthony will be remembered for his love – of his family, friends, his paper and its letter writers.

Stella Young challenged so many of my perceptions of disability. She was the first to teach me about the social model of disability, which says that it is inaccessible environments and hostile attitudes that disable people rather than their impairment.

A statue of comedian, writer, disability activist and self-described “crip” Stella Young has been unveiled in her home town of Stawell.

Thrilled to win a Quill for Jack’s Story, a graphic novel-style story about a Year 10 student who had depression during the pandemic. Terrific to explore new ways of telling important stories thanks to Matt’s brilliant artwork.
