I lived alone for 12 years and I’m now married. I can say,without any shadow of a doubt,that I am lonelier and poorer being married than I ever was living alone. The reason for that is my (admittedly poor) choice of husband. When this marriage completely runs its course,it is back to the solo living and never giving that up ... Except for my dog,of course.You Know Who
So many interesting comments on this article. A shame the government’s focus on housing seems to be mostly for family houses,which are totally unsuitable for solo people. It’s almost impossible to find good small one- or two-bedroom houses,suitable for living in long-term.Audrey

Driving around the country,you see neglected vineyards all over the place. So what about buying a rundown vineyard and rehabilitating it?

Yumi Stynes is a great writer and very entertaining[March 2]. The moral panic about her book[Welcome to Sex] was an embarrassment to this country.Tim the Enchanter
It is frustrating how often the old “all white” Australia is still portrayed,whether through our parliament,commercial TV or many sports teams. To the outside world it could look like nothing has changed in 50 years,when so much has ... Yumi is such a great character and,I strongly suspect,an amazing mum!Marco
Getting threatened and attacked seems to be the price some people are forced to pay for not going along with right-wing populism. And it is getting worse as the division and conflict in our political system deepens. RobOz

Yumi Stynes describes the terrible experiences of our times but does it in a way that makes us all feel understood and that there is some kind of hope for a good life with good friends. I,too,have experienced the hatred (even from my own family),especially when pointing out the failures of public figures and appreciate deeply her words. Thank you,Yumi.Richard Parker
What a great story about filmmaker Matty Hannon and permaculture farmer Heather Hillier[March 2]. I am so pleased that it is going smoothly for you both. Bellingen is a good place to live.Henri
