Glass: QUT Guild student magazine:2024
Full text linkGlass was born out of the struggle to gather
writing credits and the endless cycle of write,
submit for a unit, and forget.
As journalism and creative writing students, we
know how hard it can be to get work published,
be it creative, journalistic or academic. We also
think your work deserves to be shared with not
only your tutors, but your peers as well - the
people who you will inevitably be working with in
a professional capacity. A student magazine should
be full of student work and we’re so pleased to
revive the rag at QUT

An aerial view featuring Customs House, Brisbane, Queensland
No full textThis image is aerial view featuring Customs House, Brisbane
Customs House is a heritage-listed customs house at 427 Queen Street, Brisbane CBD, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Charles H McLay and built from 1886 to 1889 at a cost of £38,346 by John Petrie & Son. It was originally used for the collection of customs duty and was opened in 1889,[1] when Queensland was a British colony, replacing the original Customs House located at Petrie Bight. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 7 February 2005 (Wikipedia)
The building remained vacant from 1988 until leased by the University of Queensland. The university refurbished the building from 1991 to 1994 at a cost of A$7.5 million.[4] At this period some of the interior masonry walls that had been removed in 1947 were replaced and the original timber stair was reconstructed. Non-significant partitions added after 1948 and parts of the 1940s fit out were removed except for some good quality intact 1940s office cabinetry which survived and part of the 1940s main stair which provided access to the basement. Two of the 1940s galleries added to the Long Room were removed and one, at the southwest end, retained and adapted. Timber window and door joinery was conserved and plaster mouldings reconstructed where they were missing.[2]
Following the renovation, there is a restaurant and function centre within the building, and regular concerts and an art gallery occupies the lower floor.[3] The Long Room was once the place customs business was transacted.[5] Today the room is used various events, such as lectures and dinners.

From one of this country’s leading Indigenous journalists comes a collection of fierce and powerful essays proving why the media needs to believe Black Witnesses.
Described by the late John Pilger ‘one of the most exciting journalists I have ever worked with’, Dr Amy McQuire offers a searing indictment of the media’s failures in reporting Indigenous affairs – and a powerful corrective that shows how Black journalism can pave the way for equality and justice.
Dr Amy McQuire is a Darumbal and South Sea Islander woman from Rockhampton, Central Queensland. She is a prolific Aboriginal affairs journalist, academic, writer and commentator who has been published in Guardian Australia, the National Indigenous Times, The Saturday Paper, BuzzFeed News Australia, New Matilda, Vogue Australia, Marie Claire, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, among others. She currently co-hosts Curtain The Podcast, which was named one of the top 25 true crime podcasts by New York’s Vulture magazine. In 2019 she won a Clarion Award and was nominated for a Walkley Award for her essay on the wrongful conviction of Aboriginal man Kevin Henry, and in 2022 she won Meanjin’s Hilary McPhee Award for brave essay writing for her piece on the disappearing of Aboriginal women
