Rae Cairns is a former youth worker who has turned to a life of crime… writing. She is fascinated with how ordinary people manage when faced with extraordinary circumstances, and the lengths everyday characters will go when all they love is put at risk. She writes crime with heart; thriller and suspense novels featuring everyman (and woman) characters.

Her first novel, The Good Mother, was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Fiction in the 2021 NED KELLY awards. It draws on her background as a youth worker mentoring disadvantaged youth, many of them children of the paramilitaries, in Northern Ireland during the final years of ‘The Troubles’.

After completion of the first draft Rae’s manuscript was championed by novelist, screenwriter and director Mark Lamprell and then accepted into the Australian Writer’s Mentoring Program where she worked with award winning novelist Kathryn Heyman. Under Kathryn’s astute guidance Rae spent a year honing her craft and re-writing her novel.

Henry interviews Rae about her debut book, The Good Mother.

Australia can achieve a net-zero carbon emissions electricity system without threatening affordability or reliability of supply.

It’s a myth that Australia needs to continue to rely on coal-fired power stations to keep electricity bills down.

But we should not rush to 100 per cent renewable energy, because ensuring reliability would be costly – especially in the depths of winter in the southern states when electricity demand is high, solar supply is low, and persistent wind droughts are possible.
