It’s ludicrous and insulting to suggest that the richest university in Australia can’t afford the two part-time wages to run Meanjin.
Also: did they even try to save it? Donation drive? Philanthropic efforts? Offering it to another institution?
No.
The university council shut it down intentionally.

Exclusive: Australia’s second-oldest literary journal, Meanjin, is being shut down today for "financial" reasons, Crikey can reveal.
Literary journal Meanjin to close after 85 years of publishing
Meanjin, a mainstay of Australia's cultural landscape and the nation's second-oldest literary publication, is shuttering after Melbourne University Publishing decided to cease financial support.

What’s the real reason it’s being shut down?
It sure ain’t a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
Did the university council not like what it had been publishing, per chance?
This was one of the handful of publications in Aus that published Randa Abdel-Fattah or Max Kaiser.

Two days after actual Nazis bashed women in Melbourne, and in the afternoon after they harassed the (female) premier, Jillian Segal, antisemitism envoy, appears still to have made no statement. #auspol
11pm, 36 hours after Nazis led crowds onto our streets, there appears to be no comment from the antisemitism envoy still. Tough when your allies are broadly on the Nazi side. 😳 #Auspol
So it looks like our antisemitism envoy hasn’t yet addressed the fact that openly antisemitic Nazis were proudly marching on Australia’s streets marshalling a bunch of Cookers ready to be convinced that the “globalists” are the problem. And violently attacking First People. Hi Jill? Jill? #auspol

There's really only one conclusion left. According to Segal, Nazism is not antisemitism.

Gosh how is it that Vic Police so closely policed the Nazi march yesterday except for the bit where the Nazis beat up unsuspecting Indigenous people? For that bit the police managed to turn up only after it was over and arrested no-one. Curious.

2 State Solution is a delaying tactic. Not a serious option. All these Govs have offered are weak words of condemnation. Panic over Gaza's very filmed starvation has kicked in, hence the need to appear to be doing something. This is their version of doing something whilst actually doing nothing.

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?
If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.
Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?
