AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'After being funded by the CIA, and having received over a million dollars in government funding (while consistently railing against public funding for everyone and everything else), Quadrant magazine has sustained collateral damage from George Brandis' cuts to Australia Council funding. No doubt this came as a surprise, given Brandis' conservative attitude to the arts and the general politics of the Abbott/Turnbull government. It didn't take long for Quadrant's editor Keith Windschuttle to blame someone, predictably 'the left [which] remains in control of the arts'. Even here, Quadrant got it wrong, publishing a list of the 'grant assessors' on its website (in a nasty attempt to publicly shame). The list was incorrect, so Quadrant had to take it down and grudgingly admit its mistake.' (Publication abstract)
