Anxiety Aunt: Help! Why am I attracted to someone I don't even like and how do I get over it?
Dear Aunty, I need your help. I have a crush on my someone I interact with through work. We don't work for the same company but are in the same building and our companies often collaborate on projects. The major problem is that this person is rude, arrogant, egotistical. He struts around like a peacock, behaves like he knows it all and is bad-tempered to boot. We cannot have a simple conversation without it ending up with some kind of show of superiority on his part. And yet, despite the fact he is impossible and awful, I find him incredibly attractive and often find myself thinking about him. I get so annoyed with myself but no matter how much I disapprove of him or his behaviour, it doesn't seem to temper the attraction. What is wrong with me? And how do I fix it? Yours, Frustrated Dear Frustrated, A British band once sang that love will tear us apart but my dear, often it is lust that wreaks the most havoc. First off, there is nothing wrong with you, Frustrated. But it sounds like there is plenty wrong with the object of your affection. Unfortunately, though, there is simply no rhyme or reason when it comes to the rules of attraction. It would require a degree in chemistry, or maybe that should be psychology, to figure out why two people often feel magnetically drawn to one another even if they don't actually like each other all that much or do nothing but argue and fight. Indeed, and One is speaking from experience here, often the most tumultuous relationships are the most passionate. These kind of relationships don't always make their way to your heart but they often sear your soul like a chemical burn. But while lust is an unruly beast One believes it is possible to tame it with some concerted effort. One would suggest you try to limit your interactions with the person in question, which could prove difficult if you see each other regularly. Talk yourself out of trying to accidentally bump into them around the building for instance and opt for email interactions rather than face-to-face conversations wherever possible. Mantras might also work, such as running through the person's negative traits at every possible opportunity and trying not to dwell on the way their eyes sparkle or that dimple that appears on their right cheek when they smile. Your Aunt understands it is not easy to suture a passion wound once the blood is gushing but if you do not wish to pursue a relationship with this person and truly want to stop thinking of them in a state of undress, then this is the best way to go about it. Looking for another job is a more extreme way of moving on but a tough decision if you love your what you do and where you work. One would only suggest this as a last resort, if you truly become so lovesick that you can see no other way to break free from this spell you are under. But take heart Frustrated, One is sure that you can get the better of these wayward feelings and will soon be wondering what you ever saw in the ungentlemanly gent in the first place. Speaking of being so besotted with someone that you lose all sense of reality, reports from One's spies in Scotland suggest the relationship between One's long lost sister Bessie and old Bert Saunders from next door endures. Of course, Bert will return with his tail between his legs sooner or later but in the meantime One is busy rifling through all the applications sent from loyal readers willing to take his place for weekly veranda gin sessions. The flurry of responses have truly warmed the cockles of your Aunt's heart even as this bitter cold threatens to see One's bits and pieces snap off.

How a bloke with a stutter changed the way we talk about wages
Silly me. There are a few Patience Kershaws in this book. In 1883, Eileen Creswell comes before a royal commission into working conditions in Victorian factories. She tells them she has no power, that she is no better than a slave. Byrne writes of Creswell: 'To complain or argue over rates was to run the risk of dismissal.' Then 140 years later, Danielle (her last name is not given in the book) tells another story, this time to an Inquiry into Price Gouging and Unfair Pricing Practices. There was an imbalance, she argued: working people were suffering while large corporations were posting major profits. 'I never thought I'd be considering whether I pay for a family member's medication or whether we can go to the doctor.' She worked full time as a nurse but was considering a second job to make ends meet. And British-born James Galloway, a leader of the Stonemasons' Society, fighting for the eight-hour work day, while a Melbourne developer dismissed the demands. Apparently, the timing wasn't right. Such a familiar argument. We also meet Lara Watson, a self-described 'mouthy barmaid', who unionised her entire workplace in six weeks. Byrne also tells the story of one man who was not a unionist but had an enormous impact on all of us. I knew about the Harvester judgment, but not much about the man who handed it down. He had one of the biggest impacts on Australian working conditions – the president of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, James Bournes Higgins. He'd entered law because he thought constant public speaking would help him with his stutter. His decision to rule on what was really a 'fair and reasonable wage' had an impact on Australians for decades. Byrne doesn't shy away from telling us that unions face hurdles. Membership is in decline while Australia witnesses 'growing wealth inequality, a reduction in real wages, a loosening of workplace protections, the growth of insecure work, and the rise of the gig economy', he writes. Is this a blip? Or a trajectory? Loading Criticisms? He doesn't have much of a gossipy intent. I wanted to know much more about what happened after the ALP lost the 2019 election – it was like the whole nation had rejected Change The Rules. But just a few months later, unions had a decisive effect on managing the COVID pandemic. From being resolutely anti-union, the Coalition took on board the wage subsidy program now known as JobKeeper, a direct result of union advocacy. How on earth did that happen? And now, the union movement has shored up rights for gig workers, improved gender equity, made it possible for unions to bargain collectively with multiple employers at once. So there are a few things missing in the here and now. Journalists love the first draft of history. Historians want the full story. Byrne is absolutely going to have to write the next volume.
