Absolutely fighting for my life outside a primary school in Paris trying to return a ball to the kids who kicked it over the Jurassic Park sized playground fence. Also: some shortlist admin and world is fuky. My newsletter this week. Sign up, si tu aimes. rick-morton.ghost.io/a-gladiator-...

A Gladiator Finds His Arena

The ball soared over the towering fence and landed right in front of me as I walked down a pedestrian only cobblestone street in Abbesses. It was the size of a football (soccer, if you're basic) but ...

I think it reflects a deep anxiety that being ‘Australian’ is a very shallow and new thing and could float away easily over time.

I would be so pissed being the Brisbane Catholic Archbishop and knowing the Anglicans had a fancier cathedral than you. ‘That’s not even your thing!!!!!’

I was at the Gabba feeling sad about the bloody Olympics and flicked through some David Malouf realising nothing has changed. This despite the stories Brisbanites tell themselves about how they finally stopped the cult of development after the loss of the Bellevue Hotel and Cloudland.

Book extract: ‘It is a sobering thing, at just thirty, to have outlived the landmarks of your youth. And to have them go, not in some violent cataclysm, an act of God, or under the fury of bombardment, but in the quiet way of our generation: by council ordinance and by-law; through shady land deals; in the name of order, and progress, and in contempt (or is it small-town embar-rassment?) of all that is untidy and shabbily individual. Brisbane was on the way to becoming a minor metropolis. In ten years it would look impressively like everywhere else. The thought must have depressed Johnno even more than it did me.
There wasn't enough of the old Brisbane for him to hate even, let alone destroy. The others had got in before him.’

the novelisation of the Bluey movie is just under 350 pages and has a long section about how the expansion of Brisbane's public transport for the 2032 olympics will raise the crime rate and sink the Heeler’s property value
