Went to Gleebooks in the evening to listen to Peter Garrett and Brendan Gleeson talk about the latter's Australian
Heartlands: Making Space For Hope In The Suburbs. Elizabeth Farrelly
makes some interesting
comments about it, but some are a bit off: yes, the book did
win the John
Iremonger Award for Writing on Public Issues (surely that's not his real
name?), and that was why it got published, at least I understand it.
