AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Despite post-dating the third film in the series by some thirty years, this instalment is said to fit in the timeline somewhere between films one and two.
Max Rockatansky, trapped in the citadel of warlord Immortan Joe, crosses paths with Imperator Furiosa, who is on a mission to free Joe's enslaved 'brides' and take them to the Green Place, the Land of Many Mothers.

Magical Thinking and the Aged-Care Crisis : Utopian Fantasies and Dystopian Realities
2020
single work
essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , April no. 68 2020; (p. 18-33) 'How did Australian aged care reach its current nadir? Countless inquiries and reviews have probed this question; postmortem after postmortem has dissected the policy and regulatory failures that have wrought the present abysmal state of affairs; a surfeit of recommendations have been handed down; revised guidelines and principles adopted; advisory committees formed; stakeholders consulted - yet here we are, a prosperous nation with one of the worst aged-care systems in the developed world. And in spite of the scorching spotlight of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety -the final findings of which are due in November 2020 - there is seemingly little political will or vision for change, and no clear road map ahead.'
