Local opinion: Pima County needs Props 418 and 419
The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer: As Tucson residents prepare to vote on Propositions 418 and 419, it's important to understand what's really at stake: the continuation of voter-approved, locally controlled funding that will keep our roads repaired, our infrastructure maintained, and our transportation system moving forward for the next 20 years.

Chill at the wheel: Air con didn't just keep us cool - it changed everything
When you are next driving along enjoying your car’s air con, maybe think about Queen Elizabeth II. She was, after all, the one who inadvertently kick-started the mobile air-conditioning industry in Australia. No, really. How so? Gold Coast businessmen and authors Mark Mitchell and Ken Newton tell us how in their massive, door-stopper of a book (it’s 683 pages) Cool Mavericks, the surprisingly interesting history of an industry that has never been more relevant than it is today.

Lessons in leadership from the wild blue yonder
When Brisbane pilot Chris Smith flew his final Jetstar flight from Townsville to Brisbane in September 2023, it was an emotional trip. More so because his daughter Lauren was sitting next to him in the cockpit. Which sounds nice but it does beg the question: What was she doing there? Not to worry. “She’s a trainee captain with Jetstar,” Smith explains. “I had other family aboard that flight too.
Seminal record: Reliving the days of rage of the Age of Rock
In Year Nine I spent a lot of time in the school library, poring over Lillian Roxon’s Rock Encyclopedia. No, it wasn’t a geology textbook, but a comprehensive and addictive guide to popular music of the 1960s and ’70s. This wasn’t just any rock encyclopedia – it was the first rock encyclopedia ever published.
Opinion - The catastrophic scenario of an Electoral College tie looms
The 2024 presidential race will likely come down again to just a handful of states and a close Electoral College contest. The U.S. Constitution requires that a candidate win a majority of electoral votes to win the election outright. With the total number of electoral votes currently set at 538, a candidate must tally at least 270 to become president.
High anxiety continues offstage at Queensland Theatre and Queensland Ballet
There is now more drama offstage at Queensland Theatre than there is onstage. In fact, there is nothing onstage at all after the cancellation of the entire season of POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive, by Selina Fillinger. The three-time Tony Award-nominated play is centred on a fictitious President of the United States’ (POTUS) foul-mouthed faux pas in front of the media and foreign dignitaries.
Shock exit: Leanne Benjamin to depart Queensland Ballet only six months after filling Li Cunxin's formidable shoes
Filling Li Cunxin’s shoes at Queensland Ballet seems to have been harder than anticipated as the company announces the shock departure of new artistic director Leanne Benjamin. After much fanfare and high hopes, Benjamin is finishing up with the company on August 2 in a move that will send shock waves through the local arts community. She was the company’s sixth artistic director. Assistant artistic director Greg Horsman will act in the role with the focus on finalising the 2025 season.
Multicultural play wins Premier's Drama Award
A tender dramedy that pits love against obligation has won the Queensland Premier’s Drama Award 2025. There were 200 entries and three finalists announced earlier this year. Playwright Jordan Shea has been announced as the winner for his play Malacañang Made Us, alongside fellow finalists David Burton for The Good Dad and Steve Rodgers for The Future is History.
What the dot: Performativity in Aboriginal art
I’m stepping out, don’t mess about. Don’t tell me to be patient. I’ve been wedded, enslaved, white washed, and saved. But now, I’m liberated. The words of Aunty Maureen Watson – who was fiercely Blak and fiercely clever with words of all shapes and sizes – express what Briggs (in his Reconciliation Week breakfast address in Adelaide this year) called the “invincible spirit” that makes up our cultural values. This spirit informs our values of Aboriginal culture.
Hillbilly Elegy: JD Vance’s memoir offers clues to his current politics
When JD Vance stood to accept the vice-presidential nomination for the Republican Party, what struck me was his physical resemblance to Donald Trump’s sons. This is not surprising: Donald Jr had been his most active supporter. The best way to understand Trump’s choice is as a continuation of dynastic politics, a common theme in recent US politics — think Kennedy, Bush, Clinton.

Marti Friedlander: In her own words — PhotoForum
by David Cohen Published in The Listener, 02 October, 2004 Republished on Noted, 2016 Acclaimed photographer Marti Friedlander passed away on November 14, aged 88. She talked to the Listener's David Cohen in 2004 about being Jewish, a control freak and the crap written about photography. When I saw myself for the first time in the new documentary, I thought, "My God, what an interesting, strong woman!" It was very interesting.
