Review: Nearer the Gods
The World premiere of Nearer the Gods and it being the inaugural play in the new Billie Brown Theatre, was an exciting and much anticipated event. In the words of the playwright David Williamson “Nearer the Gods is about brilliance and bastardry. The toxic disconnect between our highest and basest potentials.” But it is much more, highlighting the treachery and rivalry involved at the dawn of scientific illumination and set in 1684.
Donny Benet @ The Foundry
It can be hard to make it in the indie music scene when you go past a certain age - the contemporary scene is often dominated by young musicians who are just starting out, and the older guys stick to the 'dad rock' business. Donny Benet, however, brought to the stage at The Foundry in Brisbane the best of both worlds - the cheesiness of the 'dad aesthetic', combined with the musical expertise of a veteran performer, and the liveliness of an up and comer.

Federal government to be sued for false imprisonment
A man is suing the Australian Commonwealth for 200,000 dollars for false imprisonment after he was detained for 50 days.
Daniel Love, who was born in Papua New Guinea but had an Indigenous father, had his permanent residency cancelled after being released from prison.
His lawyer Rod Hodgson says the Commonwealth knew he was of Indigenous descent and therefore deliberately held the dual citizen unlawfully.
National Debt Helpline inundated with calls
Record numbers of older Australians are contacting the National Debt Helpline this year, with counsellors claiming they are “at capacity” with cases.
The government run financial counselling service states the reason they’re inundated with calls is due to elderly Aussies failing to keep up with mortgage and rent payments.
Financial Rights Legal Centre Coordinator Karen Cox believes the lending practices towards pensioners is the cause for this rise in financial hardship.
Commonwealth Bank reprimanded for drought-stricken family dealings
A judge has reprimanded the Commonwealth Bank for it’s mediation process in which a drought-stricken family was forced to leave their farm in Forbes NSW, after 70 years on the property.
The Fuge family’s counsel, Peter King, accused the bank of using fictitious valuations that resulted in irresponsible lending, and giving the family just six weeks to sell their farm.
Federal Court judge Michael Lee said it was a “tragedy [to have] reached this stage.”
South Korean women protest against beauty industry
South Korean women are standing up to unrealistic beauty ideals in what has been dubbed as the “escape corset” movement.
The women who call themselves “beauty resisters” are destroying cosmetics and cutting their hair short to protest the beauty industry.
This is the latest social movement calling for gender equality in South Korea, which has been further agitated by the recent “spycam porn” allegations, where men used spy cameras to obtain images of women in bathrooms.
