It seems likely that voters in the Upper Hunter will have no candidate advocating for employment that extends more than the next few years (“Back coal to win byelection: Labor MP”, April 3-4). As the market for export and domestic coal declines, parties need to distinguish between support for a coal industry and support for the communities currently relying on it – and back the latter. A transition plan would be an honest recognition that coal pollution, with its impacts on the local environment, health and climate, means the industry is not fit for the future. Who will stand up for what the region can build on for the next decade?
Created by Flanagan and Vincent Sheehan and written by Flanagan and her sister Penny Flanagan, the series co-stars Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold, Debra Lawrence and Aaron Chen. Helen Tudor-Fisk has returned home to Melbourne after the bust-up of her marriage and being sacked from a more prestigious city firm. Bearing her former Supreme Court Justice father s name and being of a relatable age for the firm s widowed clients, she s hired by Sheargold s Ray Gruber without a reference check. Ray s sister Roz Gruber (Zemiro) has been temporarily suspended from practising law but that doesn t stop her from giving Helen all sorts of career and mentoring advice. Roz s pretensions of grandeur aren t quite on the same wavelength as Helen s snarkier (but never mean) demeanour.
