My blogging has taken a bit of backseat since my first few posts on breast cancer almost two years ago.
Work, study, and life has often got in the way, but that doesn't mean I haven't wanted to get my teeth into things.
A lot has been reported about some of the debates and issues surrounding the environment, the law, science, power and social justice.
But over the next few months, I hope to look into some of the many counter-narratives.
By those I mean the tales behind the fleeting headlines that touch on the struggles of many people who face the above issues and more - their struggles for dignity, for voice, for civil rights.
Why, for example, is the female prisoner population increasing at such a rapid rate (up by 48% since 2002, says the ABS). Why are they predominantly women of colour?
How come around 100,000 Australians are homeless? Why in some communities filled to the brim with mansions and botanical parks are there no neighbourhood shelters for street people?
It's not going to be easy. But then, these days, what is?
