Gary Shteyngart, Jennifer Mills and Rhett Davis ask what's next
Russian born US writer Gary Shteyngart imagines a future America with strong parallels to Russia in Vera, or Faith, Adelaide based author Jennifer Mills' latest novel Salvage rockets into space after ecological collapse, and Geelong author Rhett Davis on Aborescence about people who want to become trees. Gary Shteyngart is the Russian-born, American-based author of novels including Absurdistan, Super Sad True Love Story and Our Country Friends. His latest book Vera, or Faith, is about a precocious child living in near future America, where cars have attitude and equality is under threat. Gary talks about the worrying parallels between the USA and Russia and the precarious state of immigrants in the country. Jennifer Mills (Dyschronia and The Airways) is one of the most exciting experimental writers in Australia. Her latest novel, Salvage, is a propulsive novel about sisterhood, space and what happens after ecological collapse. She also talks about wanting her books to be of use to readers. And staying with the environmental theme, Geelong based author Rhett Davis's second book Arborescence continues his fascination with trees that featured in his debut, Hovering. Arborescence is about a movement of people who want to grow roots and become trees (and they do, in their billions)! It's also about the absurdity of modern-day life.

Sunrise's Nat Barr reveals the reason being on TV still makes her nervous
Beloved Sunrise host Natalie Barr has been on breakfast TV for 23 years but even after more than two decades with the team the seasoned journalist reveals the job still makes her nervous. 'The day I stop being excited and/or nervous is the day I should leave,' Barr told 'Because I do still get nervous. 'Things go wrong all the time. With nearly four hours on-air, there's always something that goes wrong, or an interview you walk away from and think 'I should have done that differently.' 'There's no way we think we are perfect. 'But sometimes I think that's what spurs the nerves, because you want to get it right and do a really good job.' Barr's day starts at 2.30am – with a shower, hair washing (every second day) and coffee in the car on the way to work. 'I listen to a political podcast on the way in, so I can get an update on what's happened the day before,' Barr explained. 'I'm at my desk at 3.30am. 'We're really proud — you see us at the desk, as the sort of the anchors of the team but we know how big the team is and how much work they put into the show.'

Credit: James Gourley / Getty Talking about her co-host Matt 'Shirvo' Shirvington — who celebrated two years at the number one morning show in June — Barr praised the former athlete's ability to find the human side to a story. 'He really delves into that person's heartfelt side of the story — that's where he really comes into his own,' Barr shared. While Barr is a seasoned journalist who knows her way around the newsroom, the TV host revealed she recently navigated new territory in her personal life when her sons, Hunter, 19, and Lachlan, 23, moved out of the family home. The absence of their children left Barr and her husband, Andrew, in their 'empty-nest' phase, which at first brought a level of sadness. 'But then you get used to it…' Barr reflected. 'You really don't want them to be living at home when they're 40, so you know at some point they're going to have to move out. 'You want them to stand on their own two feet.' After adjusting to this new stage in her life, Barr said she was learning to embrace her newly found me-time at the age of 57. The Sunrise host has long been a fan of Pilates — she even has a pilates machine at home — but she recently joined a local neighbourhood gym, which has helped revitalise her fitness routine.

Barr will mark her 30-year wedding anniversary in December but confessed she and her husband had already celebrated in secret. 'We didn't want to have a party, so we went to Europe for two weeks,' Barr revealed. 'We hadn't been to Europe together for many, many years, so we did that mid-year. It was fantastic. 'We did a pre-celebration and met up with one of my sons who was on his uni break... and it was just lovely. 'It felt very special.'

Cyber City's owner Andrew Knox is laughing all the way to the bank with $15,000 collect for $200 bet
Cyber City's owner Andrew Knox is laughing all the way to the bank after he collected more than $15,000 for a $200 outlay when his roughie caused a huge upset at Doomben on Saturday. The David Murphy -trained gelding paid $51 when he crossed the finishing post a whopping seven lengths ahead of the fourth-placed $3 favourite Idyllic Affair in a 3YO Handicap over 1350m. 'The (2.1) multiplier on the Queensland TAB app gave me odds of 102/1 for a $100 bet,' a cashed-up Knox said on Sunday. 'Then I had $100 on at Ladbrokes for $51. Ladbrokes offered me an owner's bet – for up to $2000 you get your money back if the horse runs second or third. 'The night before when it came through on my phone it was $61 so I was kicking myself I didn't get on at that price. 'I picked up $15,000 for $200. I went and bought a carton of beer, I've got it in the fridge now. 'When he turned into the corner, I knew he had them because I was watching all the horses behind him and they just weren't progressing forward. 'I thought 'we've got this' and then when he started to kick around the 200m mark I thought 'this is over'.' 🗣ï¸� | "Cyber City by 5..." ðŸ�‡ CYBER CITY (3g) puts 5Ls on his rivals to win today's metro QTIS 3YO Handicap at Doomben over 1350m for trainer David Murphy. Raced and bred by Mr A Knox, the gelding is by Telemon Thoroughbreds SUN CITY. More â'¹ï¸� — Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland (@QldBreeders) August 16, 2025 Knox said he wasn't surprised at Cyber City's victory, believing the gelding should have won his previous race after being caught wide in a Maiden Plate (1100m) at Ipswich on July 31. Before that, Cyber City finished sixth to the Paul Shailer -trained filly Ha'penny Hatch, who went on to run in the $1m Group 2 BRC Sires Produce Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm in late May. 'If you go back and watch the replay, my horse could've beaten him that day or at least it would've been a fight at the end,' the 61-year-old Knox said. 'Cyber City got caught in a bunch of horses and got boxed in. He pulled up a little bit sore after the race so we put him in the paddock. 'He comes from a really good family. I've had the mare (Star Council) since about 2003 – I bought her as a yearling from the Brisbane Bloodstock sales.' • Concussed jockey 'should never have been allowed to go home' After saluting at Doomben on Saturday at 52kg, jockey Taylor Marshall said Cyber City had 'plenty of potential, he's very untapped and raw'. Murphy was worried that the 'aggressive' galloper would go too hard early but Marshall did well to get him into a nice rhythm. 'Once he gets a bit of experience then he'll settle down because he's like a bull at a gate at the moment,' said Knox, who was born and raised in Longreach and now flies between Brisbane and Western Australia as a FIFO mines worker driving road-trains. 'I know he'll get to a mile because the whole family have been really good milers. ' Longshoreman (whose dam was Star Council) was a very good horse over a mile, he won a Balaklava Cup (in 2014). 'Next year he'll be a really good winter carnival horse, that's what David's opinion was.'
