What I’ve been doing and saying

Summary:
My latest Substack newsletter, a report on what I’ve been up to in June and early July. My biggest news is that I’ve decided to take a break from commenting on day-to-day politics. Even starting with low expectations, I’ve been deeply disappointed by the Albanese government. That feeling seems to be widely shared, especially as regards Covid and Climate. Perhaps the public response will turn things around, but I don’t have anything much to add beyond what I’ve said already. Instead, I’m trying to think about longer term issues, making the case that we need a utopian vision as an alternative to the current dystopia. Share this:Like this:Like Loading...
