Brutal Beginnings

‘To be hanged by the neck, until dead…’ was Thomas Cheshire’s sentence for highway robbery in England. On appeal, the punishment reduced to transportation for life; destination, the penal colony of Sydney Town, New South Wales.

Thomas Cheshire, one of four-hundred-and-twenty-one male felons, boarded the notorious second fleet vessel Neptune departing from England. Each shackled male convict remained in irons for the journey of just over five months and suffered deplorable, crowded conditions, deprivation, starvation and murderous floggings.

In a maimed, diseased state, Thomas Cheshire arrived at Sydney Cove.

During his years of servitude, he laboured alongside other fatigued, miserable wretches, who shared a pitiful existence of demonic proportions.

After completion of a decreased sentence, Cheshire joined the controversial New South Wales Corps, serving in part on infamous Norfolk Island.

Characteristically, Cheshire was an aggressive spouse, cunning manipulator, liar and thief who by sheer will and self determination, coped with adversity, recurrent loss and hard labour.

Throughout his bleak life he experienced little recompense. Broken relationships were punctuated with miserable, soul destroying situations of woebegone measures that rarely righted themselves.

The Originalist

THE NOVEL IS A COVIDCREATIVE PROJECT BY MEMBERS OF THE GILBERT + TOBIN CENTRE OF PUBLIC LAW AT UNSW.

ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNSW EMERGENCY FUND 

VERA JOYCE, brilliant and controversial member of the High battle to the death? Court of Australia is dead – her body found in the shallows of Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin. Was her death simply an accident? A mugging of an early morning jogger gone wrong? Or is there something more sinister behind the tragic death? Detective Gina Hughes, of the Australian Federal Police, has been called in to investigate, and has her suspicions about the family and friends of the late Justice. Vera’s nephew has a longstanding problem with addiction and stands to inherit a great deal upon Vera’s death – but only, he has recently found out, if he follows Vera’s plan to force him to into rehab. Vera’s ex-boyfriend, Gary Lowell, appears to have good reason to be angry: Vera recently broke off their relationship pending a hearing before the Court in which he was due to appear. Constable Rory Lee is less sure about Hughes’ theory: he thinks the Judge’s nephew was already on the way to recovery, and simply cannot believe that a leading Sydney lawyer would murder a member of the High Court. Instead, his suspicions are focused on Gary’s wife, who has become increasingly irate about the affair with Vera and has been threatening her own form of revenge.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE, meanwhile, has her own suspicions: Vera Joyce was one of the most polarizing justices ever to sit on the Court. Her ‘originalist’ ideas about the Constitution provoked enormous opposition as well as admiration in the legal community, and the Chief Justice fears that perhaps one of the other justices may finally have lost their cool – and let legal disagreements spill over into life. If not, she fears that her own oversight of the Court has been too lax – and there has been a serious lapse in Court security. She therefore asks an old friend, retired Chief Justice Milton, to investigate – and to do so fast, before Detective Hughes comes to her own, less salutary conclusions.

Nova Sapiens

Kasih is a robotic child drawn into a project to discover her secrets, and into a war that threatens all humanity, including her own.

The murder of her family by Union troops in Bandung leaves the rebels’ robotics experts, Losana Maraiwai and Wei Dingxiang, with nobody to explain Kasih’s design but Kasih herself.

She is not what anyone expected. In Darwin, Dingxiang suspects a magic trick may explain away her human-like artificial intelligence. In Beijing, Union politician Gabriel da Costa fears an extinction-level technology. Both sides of the war see a weapon that might win it. But Kasih is not strong, fast, or even particularly coordinated. She tries in vain to make sense of her father’s death, and of a world ready to dismantle her and repurpose her technology. And she cannot escape the Union’s plans.

The rebels, including Kasih’s original rescuers, Paul Kanner and Debra Hall, are powerless in the face of a new army of robotic soldiers based on her design. The Union has created monsters, whose cold efficiency unleashes wholesale destruction. They threaten the world’s only chance for freedom, and perhaps its very survival.

Neither Kasih nor Dingxiang understand why Kasih herself is not like them. Kasih must fight back against the fate others have determined for her, and for the world, and Dingxiang needs her ingenuity to solve the very conundrum that her existence represents. For Kasih to save her human friends, she must help them destroy her own kind.

In the Blink of an Eye

My life changed forever on November 8 2002.

In a way that I did not see coming.

This is my story, but my hope is that everyone who reads it can take something away for themselves. It is not a story that was always easy to write, however it is a story I wanted to tell.

My accident happened when I was 21 years old and I still feel it’s impact in some way, all these years later. What I learnt about myself and about life in the years after, in many ways makes me thankful that I went through what I did.

I learnt not to take things for granted, I learnt not to focus on the things that don’t matter and most importantly, I learnt that everything can change in the blink of an eye.
