COMMENT

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - Hipkins' Risky Overseas Trip

If there is a move afoot within the Caucus for change, Hipkins’ absence will give any challengers the opportunity to quietly canvass Caucus support and then to assess the mood of the Party overall.

Binoy Kampmark: Peter Doherty - Public Science Communicator

Having made his name in a field, Doherty has every right to be dull. Instead, he is self-deprecating and mocking. In a sense, he assumes a role more popularly associated with the celluloid astrophysicist, the species of character that has colonised television and screen with their searching, almost scolding gazes (Neil deGrasse Tyson), or drawn out walks upon the earth’s surface (Brian Cox).

Binoy Kampmark: Beyond Irritation - Bali’s Tourism Scourge

In its modern form, Bali’s tourism industry has become a plague of monumental proportion. A group calling itself Responsible Travel is not shy in calling the Indonesian island “one of the world’s most high-profile victims of mass tourism.”

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Sunday Morning In California As The Season Changes

Behind the impossibility of finding freedom in man’s theological contortions is a refusal to face the human condition as it is, and do the spadework of finding out for oneself what is true and what is false.

Ramzy Baroud: Abbas ‘Postponed’ Democracy - So, Who Speaks On Behalf Of The Palestinian People?

Only those who truly reflect the wider collective Palestinian experience and aspiration deserved to be centered, listened to or engaged with. Doing so would help protect the Palestinian cause of the self-seeking few, who use the Palestinian struggle as an opportunity for personal or factional gains.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Resolving The Problem Of Evil

The problem of evil has been irresolvable because of the belief in an omniscient God. Let’s drop the childish belief in an omniscient deity, and begin to question the existence of darkness within us in the context of man’s evolution and alienation from nature.
