GEORGE NEGUS: I notice in today's press here that you said that the door on radical reform of the church was closed and that you hoped that the successor to Pope John Paul II would not be a reformist.

George Negus is one of Australia's most respected journalists and popular personalities.
As Negus is an Australian, his perspective is similar to those of other English-speakers, but definitely not the same as a lot of Americans who have written about Italians and life in Italy.
I appreciate that Negus is observant of the Italian culture without being too 'precious' about it, and without being patronizing, which is how I found "As the Romans Do" by Alan Epstein, or by the modern day Tuscan Industry, Frances Mayes, who both find everything very simple because they have buckets and buckets of cash.

THE iZINE is proud to present this one-off interview with the members of INXS by leading Australian journalist GEORGE NEGUS on the morning of its release - December 15, 1997.
