Australian journalism's finest from the 1970s and 1980s
The Bosses
Matthew Odlum (Class of 1981) dug into the Fairfax archives to compile a slideshow for a cohort reunion in 2021. Some still have their original captions attached (digitised at the same time as the photos), which we have left in for historical context and interest – yes, Glenda spelt her last name differently. We’ve italicised any additions for clarity.

“The fall of communism came full circle on Monday with the announcement that Russia had embraced the ultimate in capitalism by hiring a Wall Street investment bank.”
This is inaccurate. I always believed the Soviet Union “came full circle” when it hired Sydney journalist P. P. McGuinness to be economic adviser to the London branch of the Moscow Norodny Bank in the 1960s. February 21, 1983.
