Australia is a nation of animal lovers, but with the ever-soaring cost of living, pet surrenders are on the rise. In this issue, we visit the pet pantries that are popping up across Australia, providing food and other essentials to keep pets and their people together – and speak to the people using these vital services. “It is such a basic necessity to be able to feed your pet, and the fact that they can’t feed their pets does not mean they don’t love them,” says Second Chance Animal Rescue CEO Marisa Debattista.

 

More highlights in this edition:

  • Cats! Dogs!… Axolotls! Oh my! Christine Davey, Scott McLennan and Patrick Lenton share their pet tales.
  • “When I was like 10, I called Carnegie Hall’s box office to ask if I could play there.” Musician Harry Connick Jr tells us why he doesn’t look back on life with regret, and that his younger self wouldn’t listen to his advice anyway.
  • Minecraft star Jennifer Coolidge says that her recent resurgence is proof that it isn’t over till it’s over.
  • Andor creator Tony Gilroy and star Genevieve O’Reilly are not leaving things to chance on the second and final season of the Star Wars spin-off.
  • “We just want to release good music, and let each song be itself,” says Press Club drummer Frank Lees ahead of the release of the bands fourth album, To All the Ones That I Love.
  • Photographer Andrew McConnell takes us to Kenjebai-Samai, Kazakhstan, where astronauts return to Earth and space junk is repurposed by unimpressed locals.
  • Marion Grasby turns up the heat on her mother’s fragrant Pad Gaprow (Thai Beef and Basil Stir-fry) for Tastes Like Home.

Customer photo review of Special 30th Anniversary Edition

The Big Issue 30th Anniversary Edition 763 is choc full of very interesting and informative articles. I particularly liked vendor Marion's pictorial of Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market and the CBD. The next time you see a vendor do them and yourself a favour. Buy a Big Issue magazine.

Special 30th Anniversary Edition

Loved the stories, pictures and content of this magazine issue, thanks!

To Life - Ed#760

I particularly wanted to read the Rose Byrne piece who was featured on the front cover of The Big Issue, Edition 758. But, more importantly I enjoyed many of the other features in this magazine, in particular, the archive piece on Heath Ledger, the inspiring piece from Deborah Lawrie with her letter to her younger self and Shaun Micallef personal discussion on AI. Thank you for serving up such an interesting magazine.

Rose Byrne - Ed#758

I must admit I purchased this edition as my son had an article printed in it. When I was looking for this edition I spoke to one of the lovely sellers in the city and he was so helpful looking to see if the article was in that edition. Since then I have found out a lot more about the Big Issue and how they help disadvantaged Australians to become more independent and I think they are awesome. Overall the magazine is very professionally set out and of course has some great articles. Love reading about the sellers

I love The Big Issue calendars and have been buying the every year I can since they started. I missed out locally this time so was very happy to be able to buy it online, thereby avoiding a whole year of FOMO

The Big Issue 2025 Calendar

CALENDAR: I love the alternating pages, where month A is a cartoon by Andrew Weldon, and month B is a profile of a Big Issue seller. FICTION EDITION: 12 short stories, including one by Trent Dalton (Boy Swallows Universe)

The Big Issue 2024 Calendar

I ordered online, which took alot longer than my last order & as it appears it was delayed before it arrived recently after about a month?

The Big Issue 2026 Calendar

I've been buying the Big Issue for many years (though not 30). I live in Wollongong, I don't remember seeing a vendor here, but I have often bought a copy when I have to go to Sydney for work. I always enjoy reading it on the train on my way home, as well as feeling good that I have done something to help somebody to help themselves. Love your work, all the best for the next 30 years!

Customer photo review of Special 30th Anniversary Edition

TBH… As a ‘there at the start’ contributor, think it would’ve been good to show some of the ‘early’ editions and people who helped make TBI what it has become… Behind the ‘sellers’ is a lot of pre-production content…
