Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself...

Indeed, didn't say it better myself. Guy Rundle's searing critique of Australian left-liberal cultural production, published in Arena Magazine last year, has turned up again. This time it's in The Best Australian Political Writing 2008. It's alongside the usual neo-liberal and simpering-left op-ed drivel -- from the likes of that "sensible Aboriginal" Noel Pearson -- so it's not surprising it's been a tad "neutralised" via editing. Nevertheless, in the full-cream PDF linked above, it starts with Australian film Jindabyne and wends onward from there, not stopping at our borders but extrapolating from the Australian example.

So it's much of what I was gesturing toward in my earlier post, only articulated at greater length and with stronger examples.
