Super Short Story: La Luna

For the moon was weak, the sun took its chance and rose out of the ashes - the future seemed nothing but bleak. La Luna held her place in the sky, filling the air with a calm white glow but Sola knew her power was stronger. She fired rays of intense heat towards her sister, flailing her arms in dominance. La Luna, did her best to hide, blending her white glow into a blue cover. Sola knew her sister had been defeated and took her place in the sky, shining brightly and waking up her subjects below. People dared not look at her for fear they would go blind from her anger. As the day rolled by, fear and anxiety rose in the community, they fled for the shadows and hid beneath shields that absorbed her wrath. This was not to last forever though. Sola was only but a Queen by day; her rest was needed for her to continue ruling for eternity. As she slinked away into the warm ashes she called a bed, her sister came out of hiding, thanking the clouds that helped her blend into her surroundings. She did not claim her role as the night Queen. Rather she showed her humility in leadership as she guided those who were lost in the dark. Her glow provided a safety and reliance that her friends and family relied upon and she knew this was her role. People adored her from far and wide, not afraid to look up at the night sky and marvel at her colour. Tonight in particular, her kingdom thanked her through their wonders. There were cakes named after her, dancing to thank her kindness and pictures taken at her glory, this was the moon festival of the people. She was La Luna and she was the Queen everyone wanted to have.

Essay: "Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History" by Simon Nasht

Simon Nasht’s Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History (2004) creates a discussion around the ethical and moral nature of Hurley’s work through its rediscovery made by the modern audience. Nasht questions the true role of photography, presenting two sides; one that photography is meant to be historic and a realistic snapshot of the subject and the other with a more artistic and emotional representation of the subject. Nasht presents the negative view towards Hurley’s work through the use of experts – which add to the arguments credibility – whom criticise Hurley’s photographs as “elaborate concoctions” rather than presenting the ‘real’ images that was necessary of a photographer and describe him as “a showman, a performer”. The description of his photographs reveal a perspective that his photos are overemphasised and exaggerated,   whilst also highlighting, through negative connotations of magic and fabrication, that there is a lack of realism in his work. Nasht further emphasises ...

Legal and Non-Legal Responses to Housing Affordability in Australia

Image
Legal and non-legal responses to housing affordability in Australia have been largely limited in their effectiveness due to issues such as a poor resource allocation, low accessibility and an inability to meet society’s needs. Legally, both State and Federal Governments are restrained, with the constitution giving power to the states to create  legislation for housing.  However state governments are constrained by the lack of funding with the necessity to negotiate with federal treasuries to obtain enough funds for projects – although the Federal Government does provide support to citizens through transfer payments and rent assistance – with house prices continuing to soar and a lack of  law reform in taxation regarding negative gearing andcapital gains ta x being another major issue. Non-legally, many non-government organisations (NGOs) have been limited by issues such as an inability to keep up with demand and not enough funding to meet the demands of society. ...
