This was certainly illustrated by contemporary debate about the incident, which was polarised between representations of the accused as ‘vile villains’ and ‘poor dear boys’. Anyone interested in a reasoned debate about this incident today, however, faces problems of <i>poetics </i>as well as politics. We come up against difficulties of form and representation, in other words, whenever we try to discuss an irrational event through a mode of language based on logical argument and rationality. In this lecture, Melissa Bellanta presents her attempts to work through some of these problems when writing about the Mount Rennie Outrage, aiming to incite reflection on the issues they raise. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><img width=261 height=402 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image005.jpg@01CC8804.27757E80" alt="NRS1998 3_13069 photo no 3754 Michael Donnellan"><img width=247 height=402 id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image006.jpg@01CC8804.27757E80" alt="NRS2138 5_1697 p86 George Keegan"></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>About the lecturer<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;background:white'>Melissa Bellanta is an historian interested in Australian popular culture, gender and social history.
