While the Canberra bubble has spent the last few weeks whipping itself into a self-righteous feminist fury about a bunch of gay men jacking off at work and a dodgy, decades-old rape allegation, a group of Aboriginal women travelled to Parliament to campaign for justice for a raped and murdered
It’s been said that Tolkien’s ents are a gentle poke at the academic circles of Oxford and Cambridge with which he was so familiar: a cloistered bunch of fussy old bachelors endlessly ruminating. It might have been thought that that particular academic milieu was long past. But, reading
