MAN ABOUT TOWN

I've been asked to be a judge in the Journalism category of this year's Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, entries for which are now open. How nice - and how slightly daunting, given that one of the other two judges (the third having not yet been appointed) is former Age editor Michael Gawenda ... Eeek!

Fancy that. I wonder who'll replace him as Victoria's Premier? Cue the jostling in the party room, the knives in the back. Brumby? Thwaites? This could be interesting...
