'I met Paulie Stewart on the last pages of All the Rage, when he came to work at Jesuit Social Services. There he lit up any room that he entered and helped change the lives of young people with whom he worked. I knew that he was the brother of Tony Stewart, one of the five newspaper reporters killed at Balibo, and that had also been a member of a band of which I had vaguely heard: Painters and Dockers. I found that he was a great story-teller. Two tales stay in my mind.' (Introduction)
