Over at Eureka Street there is a thought-provoking essay by Arnold Zable, the president of the Melbourne Centre of International PEN. It picks up many of the themes that have swirled around Harry Nicolaides’ lèse-majesté case and puts them in the broader context of battles to defend writers’ rights worldwide. It is well worth a look.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
