Associate Professor Martin Crotty is very, very cross with me. Ten minutes of cross:

Apparently I am a tool of Power, cracking down on dissent to impose The Dominant Narrative of the Anzac legend. What’s odd, though, is that the dissent I’m allegedly cracking down on is actually the group think Crotty defends, and which is the dominant narrative in academia and even in great swathes of journalism. This becomes clear from Crotty’s lengthy roll call of all the academics that have fallen in the Bolt War.

So may I hesitantly suggest that the “questioning voice” Crotty claims to defend is actually the one he abuses?

Anyway, hear his angry complaints for yourself, and ask whether he himself is in fact the monster he attacks.

UPDATE

I couldn’t imagine what I’d done that had upset Crotty so disproportionately. But then I searched the archives:

Apparently I’ve occupied a large part of his mind ever since:

Almost funny - except for how sad it is.
