Walking Away No More, Stephen Romei , single work review
— Review of The Australian Dream Stan Grant , 2019 single work film/TV ;

'When it comes to arguments about racist language, we think too much about the intention of the person saying the words, rather than the feelings of the person hearing the words. That’s a paraphrase of a brief but significant discussion in The Australian Dream, a must-see documentary about indigenous AFL star Adam Goodes.'(Introduction)

 (p. 14)

— Review of Don Dunstan Angela Woollacott , 2019 single work biography ;

'Observers of premiers conferences, as they were then called, in Canberra in the first half of the 1970s often remarked that the outstanding participant among the federal and state politicians attending was South Australian premier Don Dunstan.' (Introduction)

 (p. 22)
Vignettes Nail New Narcissists, Jack Cameron Stanton , single work review

 (p. 24)
Plague Tale Sails Close to Reality, Bec Kavanagh , single work review

Cover Stories, W. H. Chong , single work column

'Are words and images allies or enemies on book covers? Book designer WH Chong has some thoughts on striking the right balance between the two.' (Introduction)
