With the media dominated by the passing last week of Barry Humphries and Fr Bob Maguire, our Artificial Intelligence first-rough transcriptions service managed to conflate our brief tributes to both and come up with Barry McGuire.
Boomers may recall that that Barry was the singer of the Dylanesque Eve of Destruction, back in 1965. Although we will miss our Barry and Bob, both giants in their fields, it’s not quite that bad. Or is it?
In any case Sue spent a large chunk of last week remembering her friend (and Biograpy subject) on radio and TV before jetting off to New Zealand for interviews for her next book, from where she recorded her end of this podcast.
Among the topics are new NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey who says he’s focussed on solving the housing crisis, inspired by some radical icons, such as Barack Obama, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
We look at parents who’ve taken the “Bank of Mum And Dad” concept a stage further to make sure their son has somewhere he can afford to rent.
And we welcome our new Victoria correspondent Julie McLean. You can read more about her HERE.
