Did you realise that I have written an extensive comment on the subject of Keith Windschuttle and Robert Edgerton? It is available via The Monthly website. Indeed it has been available there for years. So far not one Windschuttle supporter has commented on it. Nor of course has Windschuttle, who refuses me the opportunity to write about his egregious articles on Aboriginal history in Quadrant, a magazine I edited for eight years. My challenge to you, Bunyip, is to read my Windschuttle/Edgerton analysis and then offer your views. I wait your response with keen anticipation.

One of the reasons the...Another bullseye, Bunyip. <br /><br />One of the reasons the chattering classes hate the freedom of the internet is that they perceive, dimly and almost subliminally, that blogging is destroying their grip on what is and is not acceptable in the national conversation.<br /><br />It is starting to dawn on them that the Andrew Bolts, the Tim Blairs and the Bunyips in cyberspace are giving voice and courage to people who would not otherwise have questioned or criticised the tiresome orthodoxy on everything from AGW to multiculturalism. They see with mounting alarm that their control over the settled order of things slipping away.<br /><br />One can see it in the panic that drove the submissions to the Finkelstein inquiry. Finkelstein's ridiculous ideas, which shame a successful and honorable barrister and former judge - just my opinion - will never be enacted into law, of course. But, very much a consequence of the feeble attempt by Robert Manne et al to arrest the slide, his proposals will soon be a fascinating museum piece, a shot at shutting the stable door after the horse has not merely bolted, but shaken its mane, risen on its hind legs and let fly a shriek of freedom.<br /><br />We are winning. The negative aspects of the "cacophany", as Julian Disney refers to it with distaste - the fact that the internet gives voice to the ignorant and mischievous - is beside the point, because it also gives voice to the decent, the sensible and the upright, whose voices have been drowned out by the meretricious, lgnorant, lazy and downright malevolent voices of mainstream journalism and the academy.<br /><br />Those voices do far more damage than those of the occasionally ill-informed, unsophisticated people that the Finkelstein groupies want to silence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-87410525923917020652012-03-27T17:34:59.259+11:002012-03-27T17:34:59.259+11:00It is probably worth recording that one of the hou...It is probably worth recording that one of the hounds leading the pack against Windschuttle was Stuart MacIntyre - yes, he who led the attack on Geoffrey Blainey and then was fortunate enough to succeed him in his chair once Blainey vacated it.<br /><br />It is also worth noting the enrolments in first year Oz history at the Parkville Asylum: 58, I believe.
