The National Redress Scheme (NRS) was created in the wake of the horror movie they called the Royal Commission Into Institutional Reponses to Child Sexual Abuse. I was a witness at it. It was both cathartic and at the same time really fucked. There would be justice for me, for my abuser killed himself the […]
Why is that odds-on favourites so often get beaten at Gloucester Park? It’s uncanny the frequency at which it happens. Since the first of March there have been 76 odd-on shots race at GP. 47 of them have won. 29 have lost. If you had laid every one of these tomato sauced priced horses on […]
