Download or read book Spinifex Sunflowers written by Avan Judd Stallard and published by Fremantle Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nick Harris has been drifting for years – until the day he finds himself amid red dirt and razor wire, a refugee-prison guard in a detention center. Nick is no crusader and no bleeding-heart. He's just a man in debt who needs a job. Time passes slowly behind the wire, no matter who you are. To distract themselves, the asylum seekers tell Nick about their lives and cultures, and the families they have left behind. They steal from him with good humour, and swear at him with bad. Nick breaks all the rules: slacking off when he guards the cordial machine, swimming with crocodiles, brawling with locals, romancing workmates. And then there is the cardinal sin – becoming friends with the detainees. --- The novel is a realistic window into the hidden world of immigration detention centres, drawn from the experience of a former guard. It is one man's vision, looking through the wire at the people locked inside our desert prisons, and looking out at the people who put them there.
Download or read book From Shamrock to Spinifex written by David Frew and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story in this book is about a young Irishman who came on a visit to Australia and has a fascination with the great outback and wants to get himself a job on one of the large cattle properties, but he doesn?t know how to go about it. Young Shaun McCready was in Sydney and walking along Bondi beach when he saw some strange looking characters sitting on the sand with some pretty girls. The men had their shirts off and their skin color was Lillie white in places and dark tan in areas that had obviously been in contact with plenty of sun. Shaun spoke to the men and began a conversation. The men told him they were ?Ringers from the top end.? That means stockmen from the north of Australia, especially the Northern Territory. Shaun had worked with his uncle in Ireland training race horses and the men told him that this would be enough experience to get him a job on a Territory cattle station. All he needed to do was go to the head office for the company right here in Sydney. Shaun went to the head office and had no problem acquiring a start on one of their properties in the far north west of Australia. The next day he was on his way by plane and coach that took a couple of days to travel to the remote outback of the Northern Territory. Shaun was collected by the mechanic of the station who took him straight out to the mustering camp situated in the wide plains where you couldn?t even see a tree. He was absolutely fascinated with this amazing sight before his eyes. Shaun soon learned to work cattle and to learn the ways of the wild men that lived in that area. Most of the staff were native aborigines, and they were terrific cattlemen and horsemen. He learned much from just watching how they operated. Shaun found out things about himself that he didn?t know existed. All it took was the lifestyle where he now lived that brought amazing skills to the surface in his life Shaun met a lovely girl who worked at the post office in town and he soon fell in love with her. Shaun loves his new life and he knows for a fact that he?s going to be in it for the long haul and not just a few months experience. Shaun is living in an environment that most people have never heard about. Everything he does is totally fascinating, which he happily adapted to in no time at all. He even began to speak with an Aussie accent. Shaun?s experience in the outback of Australia is an example of the way of life that most people do not know about. Even people living in Australia are not really familiar with what goes on in the country where they live. The story of Shaun McCready is an example of how people over the years immigrate to Australia, and soon adapt to their new environment and become the special people who live in this great country of Australia today.

Download or read book Doublethink A Feminist Challenge to Transgenderism written by Janice G. Raymond and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when falsehoods are commonly taken as truth, Janice Raymond's new book illuminates the "doublethink" of a transgender movement that is able to define men as women, women as men, he as she, dissent as heresy, science as sham, and critics as fascists.The medicalization of gender dissatisfaction depicted by Raymond in her early visionary book, The Transsexual Empire, has today expanded exponentially into the transgender industrial complex built on big medicine, big pharma, big banks, big foundations, big research centers, some attached to big universities. And the current rise of treating young children with puberty blockers and hormones is a widespread scandal that has been named a medical experiment on children.Whereas transsexualism was mainly a male phenomenon in the past with males undertaking cross sex hormones and surgery, today it is notably young women who are self-declaring as men in large numbers. Doublethink makes us aware of the consequences of a runaway ideology and its costs -- among them what is at stake when males are allowed to compete in female sports and when pschools dupe facilitating a child's hormone treatments.
