On May 10, 1972, three gay men were brutally attacked and thrown into Adelaide's River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri. There were claims — never proven — that the attacks were committed by police officers; members of the so-called vice squad. Homosexuality was illegal at the time and attacks on gay men were common around the banks of the Torrens, which was an established gay beat regularly patrolled by police. "It was called 'teaching the fairies how to swim'," explains playwright Alana Valentine.

Sydney-based artist Laura Jones has won the $100,000 Archibald Prize for her portrait of author Tim Winton, becoming only the 12th woman to win the prize in its 103-year history. The painting bested 56 other finalists, selected from 1,005 entries, including portraits of activist Julian Assange and Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi. Jones's win follows last week's announcement of the 2024 Packing Room Prize, which was awarded to Melbourne street artist Matt Adnate for his portrait of musician Baker Boy.

One of the key entry requirements for the prestigious portrait prize is that subjects are painted "from life", with artists conducting at least one in-person sitting. So how is it, they wondered, that Gladwell managed to paint Assange, who is currently imprisoned in the UK? The explanation involves a trip to Belmarsh Prison, 25 British pounds and a Kinder Bueno.
