  Luke Austin Photography — Authority: 110
  I was eager to take my new 70-200mm f2.8 VRII lens out for a test drive this morning so I headed to an area where I regularly see Moose, however on my way there I noticed the sky slowly starting to turn pink on the horizon. I knew that where I was heading was not really ideal for capturing a sunrise shot so I made a ...

• Red Toryism and Australias Neoliberal past

  
  Eurhythmania — Authority: 114
  British politics can be a useful guide for the direction that Australian political parties might head in. Thatchers neoliberal programme--of privatisations, anti-unionism, small government, personal responsibility allied to a strident nationalism and moral and social conservatism--was a model that the Australian ...

• On Movember, Tim Soutphommasane and civics

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
  A while back I wrote – in rather skeptical vein – about Tim Soutphommasane’s claim that progressives should be reclaiming patriotism. Guy Rundle has now reviewed Soutphommasane’s book, Reclaiming Patriotism: nation building for Australian progressives , for Crikey (of which more later). I’m largely ...

• On Paul Kelly and political history

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
  I referred in an earlier post to Paul Kelly’s style of commentary – a mix of oracular pronouncement and portentous ponderings about the primacy of narrative. I actually read his March of Patriots a while back, and planned to review it. But one hardly knows where to start. Almost everyone – bar the in house ...

• Ruddism: some thoughts

  
  Eurhythmania — Authority: 114
  It’s probably derriere garde —in some quarters—to use the language of blog posts and newspapers as metaphors for understanding contemporary government, but I wonder if it’s worth considering that the projects of the current Rudd-Labor Government are actually happening under or over the fold. Two years into ...

• Australians for Australian books

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
  In a second piece of good news to come from the Federal government today, the Productivity Commission’s mooted changes to the import regime for books have not been accepted . The argument about consumer benefit was always spurious – the purported reduction in prices would have been small (and well run public ...

• Guy Rundle’s God awful own goal against Greg Craven

  
  Thinkers' Podium — Authority: 119
  In taking Greg Craven to task over a rather paranoid, bare assertion and straw man laden snit against those terrible new atheists, which given the material , is fair enough, thanks to his own rhetoric, winds up scoring an own goal as well. “The neo-atheists – Dawkins, Hitchens and others – are an annoying ...

  The French anthropologist, Claude Levi-Strauss, has died, aged 100. Levi-Strauss was one of the towering intellectuals of the second half of the twentieth century. At Crikey , Guy Rundle provides an appreciation, and contextualises Levi-Strauss’ thought and influence for our times.

• Asylum seekers and Indonesia

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
  Lateline last night featured the best and worst of public debate. On one hand, Melbourne lawyer and refugee advocate Jessie Taylor was interviewed about her own footage of the conditions under which asylum seekers in Indonesia are attained. In a way, Taylor was acting as a citizen journalist with the emphasis on ...

• Clive Hamilton and Higgins

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
  The Greens are running Clive Hamilton in Higgins. As Andrew Norton observes, Hamilton criticising seems to be a politically ecumenical practice in the blogosphere. Guy Rundle puts a contrary view. I’m by no means enamoured of some of the ideas Hamilton has put forward over the years, but I don’t know that ...
