WATCHING the brilliant new ABC telemovie Dangerous Remedy, a thriller based on the life of abortion campaigner Bertram Wainer and his battles with the Melbourne police in the late 1960s, quickly took me back to that time of change.
A bunch of us made up the city's fringe, a corner of counter-culture, tucked in among the stodgy Victorian symmetry of inner-city Carlton, a sometimes less-than-subtle alliance of student protesters, disaffected professional actors, social renegades and theatrical aesthetes.
