After enduring fires, floods, pandemics, rising interest rates, $10 lettuces and another bin-fire of a federal election, many Australians are saying: 'We can't go on living like this.' Rather than plugging away relentlessly in some soulless city, why not pack it all in and start afresh? With Byron, Hobart and Noosa now resembling the overpriced shitholes their new residents fled from, Australians are flocking to a NEW hotspot: the thriving metropolis of Betoota. Here, amid the cosmopolitan bustle of the French Quarter and the circular driveways of Betoota Heights, you can build the life you dreamed of, whatever that may look like. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.
The Australian Dream
In Quarterly Essay 64, Stan Grant takes a deep and passionate look at Indigenous futures, in particular the fraught question of remote communities. In a landmark essay, Stan Grant writes Indigenous people back into the economic and multicultural history of Australia. This is the fascinating story of how fringe dwellers fought not just to survive, but to prosper. Their legacy is the extraordinary flowering of Indigenous success - cultural, sporting, intellectual and social - that we see today. Yet this flourishing coexists with the boys of Don Dale and the many others like them who live in the shadows of the nation. Grant examines how such Australians have been denied the possibilities of life, and argues eloquently that history is not destiny; that culture is not static. In doing so, he makes the case for a more capacious Australian Dream. "The idea that I am Australian hits me with a thud. It is a blinding self-realisation that collides with the comfortable notion of who I am. To be honest, for an Indigenous person, it can feel like a betrayal somehow - at the very least, a capitulation. We are so used to telling ourselves that Australia is a white country: am I now white? The reality is more ambiguous ... To borrow from Franz Kafka, identity is a cage in search of a bird." —Stan Grant, The Australian Dream This issue also contains correspondence discussing Quarterly Essay 63, Enemy Within, from Patrick Lawrence, Nicole Hemmer, Bruce Wolpe, Dennis Altman, David Goodman, Patrick McCaughey, Gary Werskey, and Don Watson.
