The ethics of hoasting, as seen by a Jesuit. This piece on the Eureka Street website by consulting editor Andrew Hamilton is worth a read.

I was going to let Frank Devine’s column today go through to the keeper. But I see the boss, Jonathan Green, has taken time out from his hols to write this confessional, and I can’t resist linking to it. Nuff said.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the blogosphere, more on the Windschuttle hoax. I like this post by academic Jason Wilson. But then I would say that, wouldn’t I. He agrees with me!

I know it’s a journalistic cliche, but for a yarn that is of interest to, perhaps, ten thousand or so Australians the Sharon Gould hoax has it all. As revealed in the Crikey e-mail today, this story has not only cultural warriors, not only cultural mischief making, but also the extra human interest element of [...]

The Windschuttle response seems to have been taken down from the Quadrant website. But the “Sharon Gould” article remains on the site, with no disclaimer or other indication of strife.
