Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Couching an Opinion

The Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins case was never about establishing whether or not Lehrmann raped Higgins. It was about Brittany. She was established as not ‘the perfect victim’ so we overlooked the blazingly obvious fact that Bruce Lehrmann was ‘the perfect perpetrator’. An entitled, compulsive wrecking ball of cocaine, $400 steaks, free rent and very very expensive massages.

These Brookfarm nuts have vibrant Australian flavours

S Haslam

If you haven’t seen the Brookfarm macadamia farm in the Byron hinterland, you probably haven’t been to Brookie’s distillery just outside of Byron, or heard about the rainforest regeneration of what was once degraded, cleared farming land.

Brookfarm recently released two new premium nut mixes: Australian Lime & Sea Salt and Smokey Australian Saltbush, which they describe as a ‘delicious, savoury, salty blend of oven-roasted Australian macadamias, whole almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds’.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to confirm their deliciousness firsthand, as my family immediately ate the two packets I took on holidays, leaving me to feast on airport food, which I think speaks for itself. If you want to test them out yourself, they are at independent grocers, health food stores and online at brookfarm.com.au.
