110% this. It’s a massive problem that most Australians have basically no knowledge of events in nearby countries, yet ABC spends a fortune sending people to the US.

Peer review is close to breaking. The crisis of academic overproduction has been turbo-charged by Gen-AI. My peer review requests have gone from a couple a month, to one most weeks, to one every business day. Editors are pleading for reviews. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe its a pre-Xmas rush. Maybe.

Barnaby Joyce’s comments about the need to prevent the live-streaming of the execution in the US barely survived a week before One Nation went back to ‘Don’t let the Government censor the Internet!’

The Canberra Times just reported an anecdotal statistic about a legal issue that is so mind bogglingly insane that my soul has left my body. What is the point of the media when it’s going to publish obvious nonsense as fact?

The fact that so many of our public policy debates are dominated by the worst people is actively bad for everyone. Our most prominent ‘progressive’ commentators spend their time dunking on obvious nonsense, but just amplify the signal of the obvious nonsense as a result.

Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.
"I have seen, habitually, some of the worst sources of general contamination and corruption in this country, and I think there are not many phases of London life that could surprise me. I am solemnly convinced that nothing that ingenuity could devise to be done in this city, in the same compass of time, could work such ruin as one public execution, and I stand astounded and appalled by the wickedness it exhibits. I do not believe that any community can prosper where such a scene of horror and demoralization as was enacted this morning outside Horsemonger Lane Gaol is presented at the very doors of good citizens, and is passed by, unknown or forgotten. And when in our prayers and thanksgivings for the season we are humbly expressing before God our desire to remove the moral evils of the land, I would ask your readers to consider whether it is not a time to think of this one, and to root it out.

I am, Sir, your faithful Servant.
Charles Dickens".

Although I remain of the view that Senator Shoebridge’s political style is Tony Abbott (but leftishly), it’s a shame that the conversation is framed in terms of party political tension instead of a contest of ideas.

again, a key reason why we can't have serious conversations about poverty, & food insecurity, is because of the charity sector. Always absolving government for creating poverty, and pumping out feel-good missives about how YOU can help put temporary bandaids on systemic wounds
