It was part of the RSL National/Stephen Henderson organised visit under the Japan-Australia Grassroots Exchange Programme. To commemorate the visit and the progress made through face-to-face meetings, this special Japan-Australia edition of TLP covers as many areas possible that represent common ground for the two countries. We interview Australia’s military attache in Tokyo, Colonel Simon Monterola about the relationship between Australia and Japan and feature this editions Foreword from Australia’s Ambassador to Japan, Mr Richard Court AC. In this edition we also speak with director Catherine Hill about her work on the play Hallowed Ground and learn more about this arts-focused woman who directed her first play at 17. We also interview author Max Hastings about his book, Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy. When the names of significant Australian architects are mentioned, Bruce Rickards is always up there. A member of the Sydney school, Bruce’s work produced some of the most notable and recognisable houses of the period. We feature a two-page spread on Bruce and the book, A Life in Architecture. In Sport we speak with legendary sports commentator Bruce McAvaney about his fabulous career behind the microphone and, hot on the heels of Winx’s retirement, ask for his list of the top 5 horses to have raced in Australia. Also in Sport, Michael McDonald pays tribute to his friend and mine, the late Allan Aldenhoven.

E. MR. RICHARD COURT AC AUSTRALIAN AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN Australia’s current bilateral relationship with Japan could hardly be stronger. We often tend to think of the modern relationship as being defined by trade and business ties, but it is perhaps the people-to-people links that are the true backbone of our strong partnership with Japan. Whether young Australians travelling to Japan as exchange students, to teach English or to ski, or Japanese studying or holidaying in Australia, so many of us have come away from these experiences with a lifetime affinity for the other’s country. It is this strong foundation of trust and respect that brings our two liberal democracies together as such natural partners, and our bilateral relationship continues to go from strength to strength. It would have been difficult for those of our parents or grandparents generations 70 years ago to imagine just how strong this bond between our two countries would become just decades after our young soldiers faced off against each other in bloody battles during World War II. My own father was an Army officer who served in the Pacific theatre. When the war ended in August 1945 he was involved in supervising the surrender and disarming of Japanese troops on Bougainville, working closely with Japanese counterparts. Many years later, he would again meet with some of them – this time over dinner in Tokyo. It was an emotional reunion and a very powerful symbol of reconciliation, after they had fought against each other in the jungles of Bougainville. My father went on to develop strong bonds with Japan in the years that followed and received an Imperial Honour from the Emperor. I commend Greg Ross and his team for providing us with this thoughtful insight into some of the more delicate aspects of our recent history with Japan. This edition touches on the stories of Australian soldiers interned in Japanese POW camps and Australians supporting Japan’s recovery during the subsequent occupation period, and gives a moving account of the 280 young Australians still interred in Japanese soil, at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Yokohama. But perhaps most importantly, it reflects on the strength of the bond that now exists across the breadth of our bilateral relationship – a model example of two former foes reconciled and working as close partners to promote regional security and stability, ultimately aiming to prevent a recurrence of the wartime suffering our forebears experienced.

    THE LONESOME VOYAGER Songs and stories from the Best Years of Our Lives STATE THEATRE – SYDNEY - SATURDAY AUGUST 15 Bookings: www.ticketmaster.com.au PHONE 136 100 Tickets on Sale at 10.00am Thursday April 30 On August 15th 2015, Richard Clapton makes a welcome return to Sydney’s State Theatre to continue the tradition of his annual concert in this special venue. This unique show will be performed in two parts. The first part of the show will be Richard and the masterful Danny Spencer on guitar, performing an acoustic repertoire and insights into Richard’s life and songwriting. Danny and Richard have been musical partners for well over a decade and Danny has become a well established part of Richard’s musical DNA. After interval, Richard returns to the stage with his full band and an exciting creative sound and lighting production. After more than 40 years of treading the boards on the Australian rock scene, this year Richard will bring together a very different style of show for the State Theatre. With the fantastic response to Richard’s recent memoirs, “The Best Years of Our Lives” in 2015, it occurred to him that audiences might just would appreciate a hybrid show featuring not just the music, but all the often crazy and often emotional stories behind the music. The book covers the halcyon years from the late Sixties in London to the Seventies and Eighties on the Oz rock scene. The musical journey onstage will cover those days of “The Golden Age” the likes of which we will never see again, accompanied by storytelling from one of the true survivors of those times.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas
    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.
