1 Dispatches from the Radical Centre Dennis Atkins , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 55 2017; (p. 37-43) 'South Australians have a reputation for being a little bit up themselves. They speak with soft-toned vowels. They boast of their free-settler status, pride themselves as being the progressive heart of the nation and proclaim dominance in the arts, viticulture and cuisine. In Queensland, which is Australia's yin to the yang of South Australia, they say there's no snob like a South Australian snob. Through this mix of pride and suffering, the peers down long noses, South Australians don't worry too much, unless you talk to them about their economy. That's when they bristle, because it's always been a fragile entity - always looking for the next big project, the next big thing to carry their social and artistic ambitions into the future.'
