SIR – The Prime Minister estimates that there is a “six out of 10” chance of getting other countries to sign up to financial and environmental targets ahead of November’s Cop26 climate change meeting.
Review: Meadow Festival 2021 delivers three glorious days of revelry and fun Image by Tom Parker
We went along to Meadow 2021 and this is what went down.
Comparisons can be enlightening but they can also be fickle, misdirecting attention and undermining achievements. When I departed Meadow Festival on its last day, the reflections came teeming in and the judgements accumulated.
There will always be noise – prior festival experiences thwarting novelty; friends’ opinions clouding perceptions, yet, there isn’t a more authentic and organic way to lend your assessment to something than by judging it on its merits.
That’s what I’ll be doing with this piece – removing likenesses and wandering narratives to give Meadow its own lane, for which it deserves.

The odd pairing was far from the weirdest part of the night.
A collaborative initiative as part of Melbourne Music Week and Art Centre Melbourne’s Live at the Bowl series, Happy Mondays brings together two small live music venues each week to curate a lineup for the big stage.
This week’s iteration saw Northcote Social Club and The Evelyn put their heads together for a program comprising 30/70 and Private Function.
An unlikely pairing, the polar acts delivered two very different performances at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Monday night.
