#LoveOzYAbookclub May 2018 discussion post – THE SIDEKICKS (Will Kostakis)

“Mrs Evans’s features soften. She says he died. I fall out of myself. I picture us contained within a 16:9 frame sitting opposite her desk: me in the winter uniform, full blazer with pants; Ryan in the summer option, shorts and knee-high socks; Harley in his own custom casual interpretation, a shirt that is slightly […]

That’s right: Linda Burney, the new Member for Barton, is the
