Defiance

Scott Ludlam

‘The Activist’, they called it. Recruit half a dozen social justice campaigners and save the planet–type people and make them compete against each other in a reality TV format for US media conglomerate CBS. ‘The activists will compete in missions, media stunts, digital campaigns and community events aimed at garnering the attention of the world’s most powerful decision-makers, demanding action now,’ reads the pitch. Run around inside this televised hamster wheel for a season, trying to get people to care about arms sales to Saudi Arabia or whatever while a panel of celebrities judges your social media engagement and probably […]

What We Mean When We Say We Love Animals

Fatima Measham

I was not looking to fall in love. But I must have. Towards the end of 2018 I signed up for a generic certificate in animal studies. I did not know where it led, only that I wanted to be led. That summer I arranged my practical placement at a public reserve. I started working there as a volunteer before classes began. The park has a captive population of native animals for its education and conservation programs. There are walk-through aviaries and enclosed paddocks, as well as facilities for threatened species. It used to have a spotted-tail quoll, a scrappy little […]

Betrayal

Bernard Keane

Australia’s federal government is corrupt. Not in the brown-paper-bags type of corruption, although that has been known to happen, but in what is called ‘soft’ or ‘grey’ corruption, where the results are the same—perversion of policy outcomes in favour of vested interests, misallocation of taxpayer money, regulatory favours—but the methods are entirely legal, secured through effective exploitation of links with decision-makers. That pervasive soft corruption is a product not of bad individuals—though there are many of those—but the result of the systems that we’ve put in place in our democracy. They’re the consequences of the incentives we’ve built into the […]
