'Here we tell of two stories, each similar in their demonstrations of complicity in silencing accounts of racial violence within the Australian health system. The first is a story about a medical rationalisation used to occlude the racial violence characteristic of legal processes used by families as a means of seeking redress; the second is the story of the legal rationalisation offered by a scholarly medical journal as justification for not accepting an article that charted the events of the first, thereby eliding still further Indigenous experiences of racial violence.'

A thing of wonders. Minds turned to the deepest of time, the origins of our universe, and perhaps to that moment before the sudden creation of an infinity of something from an endless expanse of nothing. Or was that big bang the final decaying and thus creating moment of a previous infinity of something? Our minds can tiptoe around these ideas, but never quite land in a recognisable space between them. But maybe that is their beauty, the tantalising possibility of utter unknowability.'
