Should you bump into Hugo Weaving this evening, marching determinedly down George Street, please resist the temptation to stop him and have a chat: he might be cutting it fine to get on stage for Uncle Vanya at the Sydney Theatre Company, having only moments before appeared on stage as an ambassador for Voiceless at its annual media prize and grants event at Sydney Town Hall.

Hugo Weaving is not going to let his role in the Sydney Theatre Company's sold-out production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya keep him from fulfilling his ambassadorial obligation to Brian Sherman's animal protection institute, Voiceless, on Thursday night.

THERE is limited scientific or environmental evidence to support the killing of large numbers of kangaroos every year, a series of reports has found.

But a report by THINKK, a research group based at the University of Technology, Sydney, found some of the assumptions, which allow for the largest land-based wildlife cull in the world, were misguided and not grounded on scientific evidence.

I WANT to add that in the occasional dealings I've had with Coetzee through the years he has been unfailingly courteous and helpful. I also admire his involvement with Sydney-based animal welfare group Voiceless, of which he is patron.
