So I submitted the complete manuscript of my new book to the publisher. Hope it'll be out in the world late next year. It's about why Australia's role as an overseas coloniser was strikingly obvious to all and sundry till the 1970s, then was abruptly (and conveniently) forgotten.

Yet again listening to the shitty compressed mp3 version of Hum's You'd Prefer an Astronaut that I downloaded half a lifetime ago because it's not available via streaming in Australia 🫠

Gotta love correcting the grammatical and citation errors introduced into your proofs 😒

One month to go! Our new edited volume, ‘In Solidarity, Under Suspicion: The British Far Left from 1956’, will be published by @manchesterup.bsky.social in November.

SafeWork NSW has stepped in to force Macquarie University to make work health and safety improvements to their consultation on proposed workplace changes.

Thanks to NTEU members at MQ who spoke out about the harm of workplace changes to staff mental health and wellbeing.
