Thanks for the email, Çentrelink. Seems like your emails are coming from an office in Paris now, but I’m confident it’s not a scam because of the big green ‘VERIFIED’ stamp.

The little Meanjin collection that I helped bring into the world as editor. Just a fragment of its 85-year catalogue. What an act of bone-stupid arrogance to kill it.

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them.
In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

Appalling, appalling, shortsighted, penny pinching timidity…
Meanjin Journal is 85 years old; older than the Sydney Opera House. Closing it down is cultural vandalism of the highest order, roughly equivalent to demolishing the above mentioned opera house.

So he’ll lose this and isn’t he facing a rape charge in Toowoomba and car theft in Tasmania? - these appearances are little more than reminders he is probably the most hated man in Australia …

Well, @qantas-official.bsky.social, I haven’t had official confirmation that my FF account was hacked, but the flood of emails urging action on overdue tolls, wayward Auspost parcels and bank account logins appears to confirm that it was. It seems the hackers are willing to pay their staff overtime
