'Bush Pirates' and Other Disguises : The Many Personalities of Universal Income,
single work
essay
(p. 20-28)
'My language teacher in Germany, who was a PhD student in political science, showed our class a video about something called Grundeinkommen or, among its several other names in English, Universal Income. The video explained what this was : a wage paid unconditionally to every citizen. No means test, no work, no requirements of any kind. It went on briefly to discuss different economic models ant the theory's appeal to both the left and the right side of politics, than followed three everyday Gemans participating in a simple trial.'

Shitheads : Well, Are We Doing This,
single work
essay
(p. 43-50)'Lucy Van's book of poetry The Open, published by Cordite and recently long-listed for the Stella Prize, is made up of mostly prose poems. The sentences that make up Van's prose are very fun and full of life. Merlinda Bobis in her Introduction puts it well: 'We've just touched what's here, or are about to touch it, when apprehension is quickly unsettled, halted or reconfigured.' This is true from sentence to sentence, the way they are stacked. This is also true for the life of an individual sentence. There is always the possibility of things being reconfigured, unsettled, or pulled to a halt. The sentences are the best thing about The Open which is to say everything is the best thing.'
