What a shock 🙃 app.illawarramercury.com.au/story/930632...

See this? "There was no credible and reliable evidence that Virkez was used by the YIS to cause false information to be given to the NSW Police and perhaps ASIO as to the existence of a bombing conspiracy involving the Croatian Six to discredit Croatians in Australia." Page 534 of report Vol 1.

Guess we’ll see how reflective Hamish MacDonald is willing to be in his next Inside Story piece.

Woohoo! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Doing our best! @evansmithhist.bsky.social

Oooof (but true): "The same logic governs how academics judge one another: in one large study of a major funder, the researchers with the most original records were 31 per cent less likely to be funded than their “safer” peers. We reward people for posing no threat and call the result excellence."

Love this

Chancellor's position had become untenable after second week of hearings. https://bit.ly/4vfmtLd

Conference fatigue is real and I didn't attend most of the panels & events or get to speak to people I spied across the room so also fomo

I do love it when the historian has integrity 💪 app.illawarramercury.com.au/story/929998...

An interesting footnote to the 1980s war crimes in Australia, at least one suspect made hay with these allegations www.smh.com.au/national/is-...

TFW you're an ASIO agent who's wasting their time monitoring an Irish Republican meeting in 1973.

Just like Hanson, much of this debate - even among people who should know better - has been devoid of definitions and historical context

Academic departments deserve to be saved, supported, resourced, allowed to grow even if they're not "best in the country," "first in the REF," "top-ranked," "at a Russell Group uni," or whatever other austerity-brained nonsense senior managers have been using to flimflam you out of solidarity

Finally, a meaningful definition of "the Australian aay of life" 🙃😂

"The Ukrainian diaspora in general, and historians in particular, have been long known to be aggressive in defence of the wartime record of Ukrainians" is such a beautiful (under)statement for describing such ethno-nationalist tendencies. 🤌

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Following on from this, here’s a carousel of my articles and chapters on the history of the Australian far right from the 1950s to the 1980s. Featuring @drjpersian.bsky.social and @booklearning.bsky.social

Racism racism racism wtaf is this

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?" Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Gosh I hope that PHONy's rise in the polls in Australia doesn't bring pogroms in its wake, or give licence to neo-Nazis & other fascists to embark upon a wave of racist, anti-migrant violence.

They’re called ‘academic journals’ because they’re where you write your private thoughts nobody else is allowed to read

I am such a troglodyte, and it has nothing to do with AI. It has mostly to do with laziness, which I know is perverse, but I’ve never been able to be arsed to put all the time in up front, front loading my reference library. A secondary reason is I like the discipline of it. 🤷‍♂️
