CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Protests over the death in custody of George Floyd are continuing in over 50 major cities across the United States. In some areas, the riots have descended into looting, as law enforcement loses the ability to de-escalate the demonstrations that were ironically kickstarted by law enforcement's inability to de-escalate the routine ID check of an unarmed black man...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT After a brief moment of normality and stability in homes around the country, today marks a return to the old way for families right across the Eastern Seaboard. This comes as state governments loosen restrictions on pubs and clubs, allowing them to re-open their VIP rooms for the first time in months. After close to nine weeks of bunkered...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT With number of new COVID-19 cases in Queensland now very low, State Government is slowly beginning to take careful steps to ease some of the restrictions that have helped suppress the spread of this virus. Pubs are set to slowly begin re-opening next month, and households are now allowed to invite up to five people inside to socialise. However,...

R.L SANDERS | Music | CONTACT For local Betoota tradesmen, Jye, one of the hardest things about turning 30 has been watching his dream girls disappear on Instagram. They aren't logging off, they are just following their natural path and transitioning from dehydrated music festival chicks into bohemian lifestyle influencers - as they trade in the techno music for henna tattoos. The most obvious loss...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT The forgotten generation between the people who invented the internet and the people who discovered how to use the internet have had to find new ways to get attention during the coronavirus pandemic, it has been confirmed. While not being old enough to fit into the high-risk bracket like the baby boomers that preceded them, and not being...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT After sitting on the couch at home for close to two months recovering from that horrible coronavirus that he brought into this country from America and spread to civillians in his electorate, Peter Dutton has today poked his head back up to make some pointlessly controversial and divisive comments that will not achieve anything outside of the...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has today taken time off her busy schedule keeping the Deep North safe from the COVID-19 plague to briefly focus on promoting the arts. The Duchess of Inala reportedly picked up the phone and made a call to Brisbane City Council earlier this morning - and began putting in place the preparations for one...

EFFIE BATEMAN | Brisbane | CONTACT A wise man once said that a ‘leopard never changes its spots’ - and for local bloke Danny Burgoyne that saying certainly rings true. In school, Danny was that kid who forcefully stabbed loose sheets of paper into his binder a little bit too violently. The kid who, despite much rearranging, had a perpetually lopsided tidy tray that every now...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Local sound editing freelancer, Katie Moore (25) has today tip-toed around some Instagram nostalgia. With Queensland and NSW only now just opening up their pubs and allowing groups of 5-10 to socialise in outdoor settings, Katie's most recent post on the social media platform still appears to be a very clear violation of these new relaxed restrictions. It's for...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT It seems that NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian may have found an alternative to the oppressive lock out laws that have been in place across Sydney since 2014. After decades of trialing new policy to stop partygoers from punching the fuck out of each other after a rugby league skinful, it seems the coronavirus has served up a medium...
