		<description><![CDATA[A book review of "Going Under" by Sonia Henry

Sonia Henry’s debut novel called “Going Under”, described as a novel of sex, death and doctors, describes the life of a junior doctor in a large teaching hospital in Sydney.

The teaching hospital is Holy Innocents Hospital, a thinly disguised  St Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst is the scene of the action.  The heroine of the tale is Dr Katrina ‘Kitty’ Holliday.  The novel as a work of fiction,  describes the anxiety and tension suffered by junior doctors in the Australian medical system.  At a time during the COVID-19 crisis, when focus has been placed upon the medical profession, this novel casts a sharp light upon the travails of junior doctors. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do we need to read about Kevin?

Whether Rudd is larger than life may be arguable.  It is indisputable that volume one is a very large book.  In fact, when volume two is released Rudd will still be a relatively young man with many more adventures ahead.  

The title of Kevin Rudd’s book should be a warning to would-be readers.  This is volume one of Rudd’s autobiography.  It takes us from his birth to his election as Prime Minister in 2007.  Volume two is nearing completion.

Following in the heels of AJ Brown’s biography, <em>Michael Kirby: Paradoxes and</em> <em>Principles</em>, reviewed in the Winter 2011 edition of <em>Workplace Review</em> comes a short memoir by Michael Kirby himself. Perhaps Professor Brown had said it all, but Kirby needed to state a couple of matters personal to him. The book briefly touches upon his time growing up in Sydney’s inner-western suburb, Concord, his attendance at Sydney’s  famous selective high school, Fort Street, and his days as a student at the University of Sydney.</td>
