Roach sung his most celebrated song, Took the Children Away, sitting down and breathing through a nasal cannula, before being taken back to hospital for several more days.
“It wasn’t looking too good for a while,” Roach said, speaking to the Guardian ahead of rescheduled dates touring what is likely to be his final album, Tell Me Why. “Fluid had gone from my legs to [around] my heart, so I had to go to ICU for a while, while they tried to get me under control. After the Arias, things seemed to pick up after that.”
Roach had originally intended to accept his induction in Melbourne, but his illness and inability to travel meant the Lighthouse theatre was reserved for his performance instead. Members of his family, including his grandchildren, performed a Welcome to Country ceremony beforehand.

The neighbourhood, a rough diamond, has industrial and working-class roots. It has long been home to a close-knit Aboriginal community and a thriving LGBTI scene, to waves of migrants and bohemians as well as rough sleepers and heroin dealers.

Emma Donovan appeared at Heide Museum of Modern Art’s Summer Festival alongside her band, The Putbacks.
There is something very communal about Heide Museum of Modern Art. Perhaps it’s the sense of space lent by the expansive gardens surrounding the buildings, full of native plants and gnarled eucalypts. Or maybe it is to do with the original farmhouse, in which John and Sunday Reed lived, loved and held court for their artistic friends, whose works still adorn the walls with names now revered worldwide.
Today, few Victorians know about this slaughter of as many as 150 people â a crime for which no one was arrested. There are no plaques at the now peaceful spot on a farm 40 kilometres south of Sale and 200 kilometres east of Melbourne.
But there are more than a dozen monuments in Gippsland to pastoralist Angus McMillan, who is widely believed to have led this and other massacres. Until 2018, a federal electorate was named after him.
Also in the early 1840s, at Tambo Crossing, north-east of Bairnsdale, Mr Thorpeâs great-great-great grandfather, William Thorpe, and another boy survived a massacre of about 70 Gunnai people (committed by perpetrators that Aboriginesâ âchief protectorâ George Augustus Robinson termed âChristiansâ) by hiding in a log.
