‘She’s a shrewd Green’: meet Alice Springs’ new mayor, determined to rewrite the story of her beloved home town

When Asta Hill drives into Alice Springs after swimming in one of the waterholes that dot the red centre, she is still struck by the shades of blue and purple in the Macdonnell Ranges that wet the brushtrokes of Albert Namatjira.
“There is a reason that many of the most prolific artists in the world are from this Country – we have such an incredibly beautiful palette that they can work with,” Hill says.

I deliberately avoided listening to the entirety of "Baby Shark". I was aware of its existence and that it entailed "Baby Shark Doo dee Doo dee Doo dee Doo", and have caught tiny snippets over the years, but never heard the entire thing until a couple of weeks ago. In hindsight, a great decision!
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

Two small humans (3 & 6?) are pleading with Dad to take them to the bouncy castle.
Jumping up and down, circling him while skipping and roaring: "PUHLLLLLEAAAASE."
Dad's mouth twitches before he says deadpan: "Yeah. I dunno. You look too bouncy to go on a bouncy castle."
Outraged howls ensue! (4)
