More high-rise public schools are set to be built in highly populated parts of Sydney over the coming years as a way to overcome a shortage of affordable land and ensure schools are closer to where students live.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day was invented in 1995 by two Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers, as a parody of all those endless United Nations proclaimed days dedicated to terribly noble causes. In order to Talk Like a Pirate you greet everyone with Ahoy maties or Ahoy me hearties in a growling accent and throw in the occasional Aye, Jim lad while pretending to have a parrot on your shoulder. That works for pirates, but what about convicts? How can you talk like a convict? Talking like a pirate is so 1995. convict-speak is where it’s at. Probably by talking exactly the way you are now. No change is needed. If you grew up speaking Australian English you are using far more convict words than you realise.

Even if Australia’s Covid toll remains low and there’s a quick recovery from the policy-induced economic slump; even if an early vaccine means that Australia does not need to remain closed to the world, this is unlikely to be a time anyone recalls with much pride because so much that’s happened has been out of character with an Australia accustomed “to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield”.
Not only will the Australia that emerges from the pandemic have more debt, higher unemployment and bigger, more-intrusive government; it’s likely to be more lost about what holds us together as a nation and more confused about the things we value.
