Quotes of the Week
"It’s
hard to think of a more symbolic rendering of all that is wrong with
Australian mainstream intellectual life than the decision by Ita
Buttrose and her board to offer Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest the Boyer
Lectures, the ABC’s premier series of broadcasts designed to
explain ourselves to ourselves. I defended Ita Buttrose when she was
appointed ABC chair, but this decision is indefensible." [Tim
Dunlop,
writing in Meanjin
Quarterly,
7 August 2020]
