Interesting week
Yes we had a good one starting with the announcement of the Miles Franklin Award to Peter Temple for his (crime) novel Truth. Read all about it in this article by Jason Steger.
Today we were all a bit surprised by the ascent of our first female prime minister Julia Gillard in a peaceful coup d’etat and the third bit of news is that our June Newsletter is now out, also see the sidebar.
Working on how to incorporate an Archive of all our past Newsletters so they become immortal.
