Murdering someone for the 'offense' of trying to retrieve their brother's body is..beyond monstrous

This is so deeply troubling.
For a university/publisher to cite 'viability' concerns over a cultural endeavour – the leading literary publication in the country, no less – and do so one month after the long-awaited launch of Writing Australia body raises many questions.

This, from Jonathan Green, pretty much sums it up: “Meanjin’s financial demand is trivial … a few hundred thousand dollars … the cultural loss of its death is as significant as it is tragic.”
