Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery is back as Julia takes Kerry O’Brien back to his childhood in suburban Brisbane.
The former Four Corners presenter is both full of laughter and heavy memories.
During the interview he speaks candidly about his difficult and troubled relationship with the Brothers at St Laurence’s College and the long-term effects of a career in journalism.
When they arrive at the house he grew up in, the memories flood back. He fondly recalls late night chats with his mum around the kitchen table, and seeing his father tipsy for the first time. The second son of a devout Catholic family, Kerry’s older brother left home at 14 to join the Christian Brothers seminary in Sydney. Kerry wonders how his world would have been different if his brother had been around.
On their way to St Laurence’s College they stop the classic VW Beetle at Clarence Corner where Kerry remembers watching TV through the shop windows in the 50s. This prompts a discussion about the nature of celebrity and journalism.
8pm Wednesday on ABC.
