Growing up in Melbourne’s western melting pot, Alice Pung never felt threatened by the drug culture among the migrant kids around her, but she was very much aware of it.
Though a self-confessed “anxious and slightly depressed” girl, the author-to-be could recognise even then that Asian kids using and selling heroin were from families which, like her Cambodian-Chinese refugee parents, had escaped trauma.
Alice Pung lives on campus at Melbourne University as a college artist-in-residence, but her roots are still firmly in Footscray.

The National Assembly should study and develop a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) of delegates, including qualitative and quantitative values.
On May 23, more than 69 million voters across the country exercised the right to elect deputies to the 15th National Assembly and People s Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term.
One of the issues that voters were most concerned about is how to choose people who typify virtue and talent, and are worthy of representing the will, aspiration and mastery of the people. How can voters monitor and evaluate the delegates they voted for?
When will our hospitality heroes get a reprieve? First the pandemic, then a crippling staff drought and now the Prime Minister has said our inner-city wine bars will have no part in the fight for climate change.
Which is a shame. Because Melbourne s wine bars are not really bars at all; more restaurant-bar hybrids that champion concepts of sustainability, low waste and small-scale food and wine production.
Look at Embla, Old Palm Liquor and Marion. Their support of regional businesses is pretty important, but more to the point, it s often what makes them so delicious. Smoked barramundi rillettes.
