  1. Multiple media reports starting late last year suggest that the current owners of Big Splash in Belconnen are struggling with the upkeep required. It doesn't take much imagination to see another large, water-based facility get closed and sold off - I'm looking at you, Woden Pool.

    The article below has a link to a petition which needs only 250 more digital signatures "has to receive 300 more (for a total of 500 or above) by 28 February to be referred to a government committee inquiry for discussion."

    Suggestions include asking the government to take it on or at least assist in getting it back on track as well as approaching other pool operators to take it on.

    This is a valuable community resource, at which I have happy memories from my own teenage days as well as my own kids.

  2. Whoa. Just watched a very moving play. #RiotAct, with Alexis Gregory. It is based on the oral histories of activists in the #Stonewall-->AIDS/HIV era.

    The whole generation of older gay survivors, and a broken chain of losses of that, which never got bridged.

    "Cumulative grief" of all the funerals.

    Anyway, a great way to cover that arc of history in a short performance.
