No Poetry After the Arts Council?
2016
single work
essay
— Appears in: Arena Magazine , June - July no. 142 2016; (p. 54-55) 'After being funded by the CIA, and having received over a million dollars in government funding (while consistently railing against public funding for everyone and everything else), Quadrant magazine has sustained collateral damage from George Brandis' cuts to Australia Council funding. No doubt this came as a surprise, given Brandis' conservative attitude to the arts and the general politics of the Abbott/Turnbull government. It didn't take long for Quadrant's editor Keith Windschuttle to blame someone, predictably 'the left [which] remains in control of the arts'. Even here, Quadrant got it wrong, publishing a list of the 'grant assessors' on its website (in a nasty attempt to publicly shame). The list was incorrect, so Quadrant had to take it down and grudgingly admit its mistake.' (Publication abstract)

Paranoia, Surveillance and Literary Politics
2004
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Running Wild : Essays, Fictions and Memoirs Presented to Michael Wilding 2004; (p. 267-274)Syson investigates the background to recent attempts by right-wing journalists, historians and intellectuals (mainly in Quadrant and the Courier-Mail) to discredit some former sympathisers with socialism and communism, such as Manning Clark and Henry Reynolds. This leads to a more general discussion of the representation of Australia's history, the role Quadrant, the CIA and the Australian Association for Cultural Freedom have played in it, and the continuing impact of the Cold War on Australian politics and culture.
