New review for @aunz.theconversation.com! Andrew Roff's 'Here Are My Demands', a near future SF about politics, activism, and hope, set in a 2058 Australia.
What will Australia be like in 2058? A new novel imagines division, unemployment – and activism
Andrew Roff’s debut novel, Here Are My Demands, looks forward to an imagined future – but seems more concerned with now.

If Melbourne University Publishing doesn’t want to keep publishing Meanjin, they should hand over the journal to someone worthy of the responsibility. Me in The Conversation theconversation.com/the-decision...
The decision to close Meanjin misunderstands its wider importance. Australian culture deserves better
The decision to close Meanjin is the latest in a string of recent decisions that suggest universities are not safe harbours for priceless cultural institutions.
