Maryann Wright
Maryann spends most of her day singing, thinking and writing - in random order depending on her mood. She’s studying media and communications at Sydney University, majoring in government and international relations and performance studies. When she’s not studying she works at news.com.au and performs in musical theatre. Someday she hopes to combine her love of musicals with writing, or she may just wind up in politics due to her frequent outbursts at government mismanagement. It’s still early days.

They should update other things in the game too. Instead of a get out of jail free card, they should have a Dodgy Lawyer card that not only gets you out of jail straight away but also gives you a fat payout in compensation for daring to arrest you in the first place.
