1   The article ‘Demolition firm may be memory’ ( Australian , 28 August 2009) describes Deen Bros as a company who has ‘a long history in Brisbane of being the demolishers of choice under the Bjelke- Petersen government. Using the joint weapons of surprise and darkness, they were responsible for destroying some of the city’s best-known and loved buildings’. Deen Bros are still in operation in 2015 with the online maxim ‘All we leave behind are the memories’. www.theaustralian. com.au/business/latest/queensland- demolition-firm-may-be-memory/story- e6frg90f-1225766935308, viewed 8 August 2015. 2   Email correspondence with Maud Page, 30 July 2015. 3   Guy Brett, ‘David Medalla: On a General Attitude and Two Works in Particular’, in Carnival of Perception SelectedWritings on Art , INIVA, 2004, p.74. 4   www.philstar.com/arts-and- culture/747400/strange-case-david- medalla-part-one.
