Title

Australia’s political elites are fiddling while Rome burns

6 December 2016

Published in The Conversation

There has never been a time when the disconnect between political elites and the public interest was greater than it is today.

MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN, OR MAKE THE PLANET GREAT AGAIN: Is it one or the other, or both, or neither?

5 September 2017

Ours is a time of turbulence, but now on a planetary scale. Many in the western world, Australia included, are anxious about the future, unsure where to turn for guidance or inspiration. Some seek to exploit these anxieties, offering black and white explanations of our predicament. For some, the problem is immigration, for others Islamic fundamentalism, or simply Islam. For others still, it is the conspiracy about global warming, or the forces driving globalisation.

For our misdeeds in Korea we shall pay dearly

30 October 2017

The result of the recent snap election called by Shinzo Abe and Japan’s steady military build-up are a portent of things to come. The Korean crisis, which owes at least as much to Washington’s flexing of military muscle as to Pyongyang’s misguided nuclear antics, holds the key to many of these ominous developments.
