COMMENT

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: History Is Not A Game

There is an inverse relationship between the upward spiral of science and technology and the downward spiral of human civilisation and consciousness. Is history just a quickening repetition on the same themes of human ignorance?

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - ACT Looks Backwards

The debate about privatising state assets has reared its head again, with calls by the ACT leader for the government to sell off more assets to help balance its books and the Prime Minister’s now typical vaguely ambiguous, non-committal response.

Binoy Kampmark: Funeral Atmospherics At The British Library

This particular gem of a library is a citadel of comfort for the reader and researcher, now sadly soiled by the devastatingly effective efforts of a group named after a centipede. The knowledge, however, is still there, made even more tantalising by difficulties in accessing it. It’s up to the custodians of the Library to ensure that access is made as easily as possible, whatever the headaches.

Ramzy Baroud: Dear World - This Is What Palestinian Unity Looks Like

Ian Powell discusses the sacking of Shane Reti as health minister and the appointment of Simeon Brown as his replacement.

Ian Powell: Reckless Disregard Or Cruelty (Or Even Trumpian!)
