The YouTube film recap accounts often use text to speech for their videos. Hilariously, this means the Predator: Badlands recaps are based on a Yorkshire fighting for his life and not a Yuatja. Oh ay.

The report found that about 68,500 people annually require sexual assault support services in Australia but about 23,000 are left with unmet support needs. The funding shortfall for support services is $80 million - or 0.02% of the $368 billion the Commonwealth gov is spending on 11 submarines

Losing Meanjin means a lot more than one literary journal closing down. It massively narrows the space for criticism, memoir, personal essay, and non-mainstream viewpoints within Australian culture. And it leaves us wondering whether hollowed out Australian universities can still support the arts.

Whatâs the real reason itâs being shut down? It sure ainât a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Did the university council not like what it had been publishing, per chance? This was one of the handful of publications in Aus that published Randa Abdel-Fattah or Max Kaiser.
