Why does this micronation have a commercial airline with seven Boeing 737s? Because the Australian government goes to absurd and dangerous lengths to prop it up.
The scandal of Nauru Airlines and Australia’s offshore detention regime. Now on my substack:

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission.
In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here:

Here’s a piece I wrote about the damage done to Australian cultural institutions - ABC, Creative Australia, MSO, SLV, SLQ, etc and now Bendigo Writers Fest - by their surrender to the demands of pro-Israel pressure campaigns

@nickfeik.bsky.social argues that the failure of the right in Australia isn't structural, but the result of a right-wing media thrusting candidates into elections without proper scrutiny.

Thus the far-right could rise, under these conditions.

Good piece.

As @nickfeik.bsky.social says, “What a terrible, terrible waste.”

The unnecessary destruction of Australia’s most important writers’ festival is a victory for censorship & bigotry.

Australia’s global literary reputation is yet another victim.

Excellent work by Nick Feik @nickfeik.bsky.social on the sorry parade of Australian government and arts institutions silencing criticism of Israel over Gaza. It is systemic and deeply disturbing.

Artists, writers and journalists throughout the country have felt the effect of this cowardice, and public debate has been stymied. Free expression on Gaza and Israel has become the preserve of the few who are able to stick their head above the parapet. Nick Feik

An excellent potted history of Netanyahu's relationship with Hamas, how he's encouraged them to ensure division with the Palestinian Authority, and how now, crushed, they act as his justification for genocide.

He is an evil man.

"Since October 7, 2023, for understandable reasons Hamas has become Israel’s go-to response to every criticism. This has been taken to ridiculous degrees: Mass starvation? Blame Hamas. Hospitals were bombed? Hamas tunnels. Journalists assassinated? Hamas. Collective punishment of all Gazan civilians? They voted for Hamas. Even the children? Guilty by association."

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned

open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...
On the other hand, the organised pro-Israel groups backgrounding journalists or haranguing ministers or board members have faced no consequences, despite the chaos they’ve caused. They haven’t been named or called to account in any way. It’s a perverse effect of the pressure-campaign tactics: only the victims of these attacks (the pro-Palestinian artists, writers, presenters) are put on public trial. More significantly, the damage to the institutions – the damage they have done to themselves in wronging these individuals – is not being discussed. There is a common fallacy that these institutions are protecting themselves when they hang individuals out to dry. Pressure campaigns rely on this notion when in fact the opposite is true: board members and chief executives made knee-jerk decisions under the pressure of a news deadline, thinking they’d dampen the threat, only to find the repercussions were much greater. Catastrophic, in fact.

That this is being ignored (denied) by the LNP is unsurprising.

That it's being ignored by Labor is unforgivable.
