  • Coming Clean – Leonard Ottone



    In and out of juvenile detention as a youth, Leonard Ottone graduated to prison as a young man and eventually ended up in PentridgePrison (affectionately known by some as the college of knowledge).


    There he continued to access drugs and maintain his habit. With the help of the other prisoners, Leonard finally learned to read and write as he struggled to write letters home to his family…

    … I spent the weekend reading your story. It was raw and confronting, but such a touching and amazing story. As young as I am, I know there’s people in the world that have never been strong enough to stick and progress with positive change like you have. i’ll never forget when Dean finished your book, the tears that rolled down his face. Tears of happiness and relief of your achievements. I couldn’t wait to read to see why he was feeling like that … Now I’ve finally read it and want to congratulate you. – Ella Callaway

      It was 2008 when James was first diagnosed with Leukaemia and he was just finishing Year 5.

      His medical treatment involved a gruelling three years of chemo therapy under the care of Monash Medical Centre in Clayton as part of a research study. As a result of his treatment he lost all his hair for about 12 months and battled through the sickness.

      It was the love, care, kindness and inspiration of his family, friends and organisations such as Make a Wish, Aardvark and Carlton Football Club that helped to keep James positive and on track.

      Spiderbait is one of Australias rocknroll national treasures.


      Damien Whitty, Janet English and Kram or Mark Anthony Maher have played together since they were 12 years old.

      Decades of musical collaboration, creativity and god given talent reveal a powerfully loving and mutually supportive bond that is irresistible to their world wide fan base, devotees of a spiritual variety!



      I experienced my maiden voyage on starship Spiderbait last night at Melbournes iconic music venue the Corner Hotel in Richmond.

      We arrived at 10pm and the room was SOLD OUT packed to the rafters and Spiderbait were in full flight. My mission as one of Melbournes more aggressive paparazzi was to get to the front of the stage. Magically, it felt like the parting of the Red Sea with happy smiling faces throwing daises in my path. That was the first sign that this was something of a rarity.
