AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the summer of 2019–20 I worked in the customer service department of an Australian zoo. I was used to cycling to work, gliding past traffic and cutting through parklands in my khaki uniform. But I found myself driving much more than usual. Cycling resulted in weariness and respiratory irritation, as I breathed in toxic particulate matter. Bushfire smoke smothered the city, forcing us indoors. With the smoke settling for days at a time, I relied more on my exhaust-spewing vehicle to get to work. The dark irony was hard to miss.'

But not all information is created equally. Sitting here in the thick of Meanjin’s 80th year, it seems a moment to wonder at the role of a magazine like this, to think about its place in the spectrum of public ideas.'
