'Walking home down George Street, in Fitzroy, last year, I saw a front window of a former shop, now a private residence, covered in handwritten notes. On the door were instructions: Pssss! Tell us your secret. Have something you need to get off your chest? Something to say, but you can't? Write it down and put it through our door. We'll post it in our window. No names please.'

    'We live in a moment giddy with change. Change is constant, change is fast. Change can be its own rationale, an unquestioned, irresistible propulsion to a quickly unfolding and possibly unimaginable future. Has it ever been thus? Well, yes and no.
