By the time you get to read this I will be in Mexico City at the International AIDS Conference. Run on alternate years to the IAS [International AIDS Symposium], the IAC will discuss the issues surrounding the HIV/AIDS pandemic world-wide and present to the delegates the latest findings, research advancements, and to discuss topics of interest including social marketing and legal issues.

Although I am on the other side of the world however I was fortunate to get Media accreditation and will be reporting on JOY 94.9fm and to MCV [with website updates and reports in the publication itself].  

I look forward to bringing back to Australia a more global understanding of the work being done in the vital health areas such as education, prevention and advocacy, assisting our own response with this knowledge.

Closer to home: you will notice that we have continued our tour around the country - this month exploring the wonders of the Northern Territory. Quite a number of years ago, I spent ten years on a monthly basis travelling to Nhulunbuy [commonly known as Gove], singing and hosting karaoke at the Arnhem Club. I have also visited Darwin several times. It is a fascinating state and one which every Australian should make it their quest to see.

Just before I went away I had the great opportunity to see The Production Company’s Follies at the magnificent Arts Centre. A stella cast as always with Debra Byrne, Judi Connelli, Nancye Hayes and Melissa Langton giving stand-out performances. Celebrating their 10th Anniversary, The Production Company have a wonderful line-up of shows for you this season, and although you will have missed Follies by now, make sure you get your tickets now for Damn Yankees - happening at the Arts Centre from the 20th to the 24th of this month. For all the dates, the shows and how to get your tickets go to www.theproductioncompany.com.au

I hope you enjoy this month’s Q Magazine.

I look forward to flying back into Melbourne on the 13th for my birthday and also to see the issue myself.
