Congratulations Clare Wright on winning the Stella Prize for her book The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka. You can read my review here.
And well done her, too, for donating $2500 each to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and her local high school, Northcote High. This is the second time this week where I’ve read of donations/fundraising going to public schools- the other was an article yesterday about leading chefs contributing to school cookbooks for local state-run schools. This is the cultural (as well as financial!) capital that private schools trade on and government schools lack. Good on them.
