1 Throw a Shrimp on the Barbie Madeleine Barrow , 2012 single work prose
— Appears in: Voiceworks , Winter no. 89 2012; (p. 32-33)

'Oh, Throw A shrimp on the barbie! Let the snags sizzle and the beef burn as the men of the house mingle over cheese and beer. Let the children fiddle with the Hills hoist as the wives chop chives in the kitchen. Let Germaine Greer's voice fizzle through the radio. Maybe her words will smother the coals. For the coals have glowed under the hotplate for decades.'  (Publication abstract)
