COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Justifying The Egregious - John Howard And Spying On East Timor

The best assessment offered of this episode in Australian history comes from Galbraith: both Howard and his foreign minister, had shown themselves to be mere “shills for the corporations”. This amoral, piratical approach towards a supposedly friendly country in dire need undercut the nonsense about rules-based orders in international relations.

Ian Powell: Gutting Specialised Health Teams Follows ‘Slash And Burn’ Strategy

Ian Powell discusses Health New Zealand’s plan to disestablish expert national health teams as part of its Commissioner’s ‘slash and burn’ strategy.
