The power of the people is much stronger than the people in power

‘I feel so powerless,’ a friend said. It’s an understandable sentiment in the face of tragic situations out of our individual control, but there are things people can do to effect change, especially when we come together as a community. 

The Picture House is turning 8

It feels like we were only just ringing in the new year days ago and here we are approaching Easter weekend at The Brunswick Picture House. It’s already been a whirlwind start to 2024 with their biggest and busiest program so far, bringing an eclectic mix of some of the hottest stand-up comedy, music gigs, film screenings and cabaret – and that was just last week!

It is always interesting to see life through the eyes of a child; it makes you realise what an impression we leave on the younger generations. This report from the last of our junior journos for the year, young Tyler Kay from Byron Bay, is no exception.

At just seven years of age, the trip to Skilled Park was almost beyond exciting for Tyler. He really enjoyed the experience and being a part of the the Titans’ day. He did a wonderful job reporting on the last home game for 2013.

Story by Tyler Kay

On Saturday night I went and watched the Titans play against the warriors.

It was Mark Minichiello’s 150th game; he’s the first person to ever play that many for the Titans. I was going to interview him but it was a very tough game and Mini got knocked in the head and couldn’t come back on the field. The Titans had a very good game and only just got beaten.

My favourite player is Kevin Gordon and he nearly got the winning try but the video ref said ‘no try’.

I got to go into the sheds after the game and meet a few of my favourite players and they signed my Titans’ football. I got photos with them. They were a bit sad because they lost but they all played really good. I hope they win the grand final.

I had so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again! GO TITANS.
