Renowned Journalist Peter Oborne tears into the BBC: ‘170 Journalists murdered by 🇮🇱 in Gaza 🇵🇸, the BBC reported only 6%’ ‘The BBC reported 60% of journalist murdered in Ukraine 🇺🇦’ ‘Do the BBC agree with Lammy that journalists aren’t in Gaza 🇵🇸?’ It’s complicit. It’s racism.

Anarchy. The world imagined by liberal internationalism is no more. The US battens its hatches. Europe fortifies its walls. Israel wreaks chaos in West Asia. The Earth burns. Climate change is uncontrolled. We must change course. But where, and how? polity.lk/there-is-great…

The attention is on ANU but the cuts are happening elsewhere. At Macquarie there is a proposal to cut the sociology and politics majors from the BA, along with the jobs of 11 of 14 in sociology and several staff in politics. Our retired former head of department has started a…
