Reading Anti-Zionism by Benjamin Moser has been a tremendous education for me. Jillian Segal should never have been placed in this position and must be resisted at every turn, for the sake of all Australians including Jews.

I don’t think the HCA would touch this. But then again they freed Pell so what do I know.

There have never been a million (AU) Aboriginal people living on the planet at one time. I’m Koori. We don’t need ‘science’ to build us up to be more acceptable to western eyes (this includes Bruce Pascoe). We’re just fine as we are. The 1788 was just as genocidal whichever way you look at it.

She was a known author though. Her biography of Hawke was on so many shelves in homes you visited in the 1980s. And I remember studying Turtle Beach as part of an Australian Literature unit at UNSW in the 1990s. Like, she was a serious author. But of course popularly she was just the ‘other woman’ that broke up the Bob/Hazel marriage.

Big money must think we’re all a bunch of complete morons electorally.
