Harvard Business School For The Facebook Age
Innovation and real startup companies are front and center at the newly re-engineered HBS. The venerable institution hopes to prepare budding entrepreneurs–with inspiration from the one that got away. Harvard Business School is buzzing. In part, it’s because students are working in “hives,” new circular, collaborative workspaces. But also because the hives are part of a radical rethink happening here—of everything from the storied school’s … Continue reading

Deportee belongs back in Australia
Labor can add meeting human rights obligations to its list of broken promises. ‘The Attorney-General indicated that the government has no intention of allowing Nystrom to return to Australia.’ Photo: Andrew Sheargold THE Attorney-General’s brazen rejection of the UN Human Rights Committee’s ruling in the case of deportee Stefan Nystrom, on the basis that the federal government “respectfully” disagreed with the finding, ought to distress … Continue reading

Russia, Ukraine, Slavic Peoples, Population, and Adoption
Russia (and Ukraine, and frankly most of the former Russian Empire) need babies. Healthy happy babies with caring parents. Too often I see girl pushing strollers and know dad is nowhere to be found; or worse everyone knows where and who he is and no one cares. I see 13 year olds walk into stores with signs that clearly indicate that the sale of alcohol … Continue reading

Lessons From Europe’s Racist Right
There are striking similarities between Anders Breivik’s manifesto and the rhetoric of Europe’s newly popular far right politicians. How long before ‘anti-Islamisation’ takes off here, asks Mike Carey The National Front of Marine le Pen and Greece’s jack-booted Golden Dawn both had strong showings in recent elections. Both are also mentioned in the manifesto of Anders Breivik, Norway’s Christian jihadist, as part of the European … Continue reading

Gay marriage: a lawyer’s response to the doctors’ concerns
Dear Doctors for the Family, As you are well aware, doctors hold high esteem in our society and so when they form an alliance and partake in a debate their point of view is treated with reverence. As a lawyer, I do not hold society’s high esteem (fair call, society). But I do have a knack for sniffing out flawed arguments. With that being the … Continue reading

Turkish jets chase Israeli plane over Cyprus – reports
TURKEY accused Israel on Thursday of violating the airspace of Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus in a controversial oil and gas exploration area. Turkey’s relations with Israel have soured since Israeli commandos in 2010 stormed a Turkish ship carrying activists trying to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, killing nine Turks. The Israeli aircraft “violated” the northern Cyprus’s airspace five times in Monday’s incident which saw Turkish … Continue reading

College rankings: Which countries have the best education systems?

Japan to spend $4.4bn on gas stake
TROUBLED Japanese utility Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) has radically scaled back its plan to invest in the $29 billion Wheatstone gas project in Western Australia in the wake of last year’s tsunami disaster that destroyed the Fukushima nuclear plant and almost destroyed the company. But a government-backed Japanese consortium appears poised to rescue the deal by paying $4.4 billion for a 10 per cent stake … Continue reading

Greece is now the cutting edge of the world
“Everything’s fine out the window … oh no, look, I can see society collapsing,” said Paul, a French-Greek journalist working in Athens. Out his window is Ermou, the wide shopping street that leads down to Syntagma Square. I’d phoned him to see what was going on, and to check the “Greece in turmoil” line that has become de rigeur in the official coverage of the … Continue reading
Refugees’ ASIO despair
ASYLUM seekers branded security threats by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation have been involved in a spate of suicide attempts inside the nation’s detention network. Julian Burnside: “The fact that a person has been adversely assessed by ASIO does not mean they are a terrorist.” Two Tamils given adverse assessments by ASIO have attempted to kill themselves at a detention centre in Melbourne’s north in … Continue reading

If Greece Quits Euro, Its Ruin Will Be Pointless
The chaos in Greece has resumed and a new election that nobody expects to resolve anything looms. Exasperated European Union officials have begun openly discussing the country’s exit from the euro currency system. This is a grave mistake. Greece’s exit would be no less catastrophic than when the EU called it unthinkable — and not just for Greece. “Divorce is never smooth,” Luc Coene, the … Continue reading
How Energy Made the Modern World
This article is the first in a three-part series on America’s energy crisis. Most people (at least outside Washington and academia) understand there is an unbreakable relationship between supply and demand. If demand increases more than supply, prices rise. Through the 1970s, demand increases over time were met with supply increases. But that era of elastic supply to meet demand has been coming to an … Continue reading
