Welcome to the February edition of Link!
In our first issue this year, we speak to Australia’s most successful Paralympian about how he conquered the pool and dived into politics. Lisa Cox, Brisbane-based writer and presenter, tells us why she looks forward to the day when it will no longer be exciting to see a model in a wheelchair on the catwalk. We catch up with Dr Guy Turnbull during his time as ‘Thinker in Residence’ for the Don Dunstan Foundation. And don’t forget the arts, music, travel and our accommodation and plan management features!
