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.
