The Writing On The Wall | Jan 11, 2007 19:09
Graham Reid's many things

COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Justifying The Egregious - John Howard And Spying On East Timor

The best assessment offered of this episode in Australian history comes from Galbraith: both Howard and his foreign minister, had shown themselves to be mere “shills for the corporations”. This amoral, piratical approach towards a supposedly friendly country in dire need undercut the nonsense about rules-based orders in international relations.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: The Wasted Interregnums Of Obama And Biden

Ian Powell: Gutting Specialised Health Teams Follows ‘Slash And Burn’ Strategy

Ian Powell discusses Health New Zealand’s plan to disestablish expert national health teams as part of its Commissioner’s ‘slash and burn’ strategy.

Donald Trump wants US allies to spend more on defence and has threatened NATO members with coercion. But allies have agency too, and are already planning their responses.
