My Summer / Robert Macklin

AUTHOR and “CityNews” columnist Robert Macklin loves these things about summer… 

Robert Macklin.
  • When everyone else is on holidays I can write my books without interruption.
  • I’ll be putting the finishing touches on the story of a Canberra company whose inventions are changing the military balance of power in our region.
  • We’ll definitely be taking in the Matisse/Picasso blockbuster at the National Gallery, a delicious throwback to the time when I was Canberra’s arts editor-at-large and the gallery’s former director Betty Churcher staged them every year.

Who can be trusted?

In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.

If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.

Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.

Thank you,

Ian Meikle, editor
