A year of courage and raw storytelling draws to a close - and we'll be the better for it
The year 2017 will surely remembered as the year the gloss wore off and the gloves came off, a year when the posturing of politicians was utterly trumped by the everyday courage and bravery of ordinary Australians. As it draws to a close, 2017 has morphed into a year of honest storytelling. Of ripping off Band-Aids. Of exposing the ugly truths of public and private life to the cleansing glare of sunlight.
