  (GS-ROBERT MANNE) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide
On one hand, it is heartwarming that Robert Manne is demonstrating his qualifications as a "genocide scholar" by completely ignoring all that had gone on before: Armenian terror groups beginning in the 19th century, working on driving a wedge between Armenian Ottomans and their empire...
Perhaps Manne pointed to the poet Murray for his "evidence" in the knowledge that prejudiced Westerners are quick to accept the "genocide" word of poets pretending to be historians.
Robert Manne is unfortunately so prejudiced, he actually believes, as his propagandistic industry loves to embellish, that Turkish people don't have the brains for independent thought; the "state" dictates their minds, in an Orwellian "1984" type setting.

 Lateline - 30/10/2001: Asylum seekers still key election issue . Australian Broadcasting Corp
ROBERT MANNE, LATROBE UNIVERSITY: I can't remember one single issue which has more transformed politics than the decision taken by the Howard Government late August this year to repel by military means all future asylum seekers and boat refugees.
ROBERT MANNE: There are three central elements in why Australian opinion accepted the large numbers of Vietnamese refugees and Indo-Chinese refugees.
ROBERT MANNE: What, in my view, the Government did, in particular Phillip Ruddock, the Minister for Immigration, was put out a very hostile anti-refugee or anti-asylum seeker line.

 THE MINORITY MANNE in
This Manne, it seems, is "tackling the national moral agenda", and helping to "mobilise grassroots Australia" to "shape the kind of society we live in".
After all, it was only last week that Manne wrote his usual poll-eve hate-Howard rant in The Age, urging voters to dump the Prime Minister for his "attitude to reconciliation", "cruelty to refugees", "invasion of Iraq" and "increasingly authoritarian style of government".
Manne, Age columnist and professor of politics at La Trobe University, was once thought a soldier of the Right, but in 1992 came a clear sign of his ideological decay when he co-edited Shutdown: The Failure of Economic Rationalism.

 COLD WAR AUSTRALIA
Manne merited his accolades for demolishing an article of Labor faith that ASIO had conspired to help Menzies win another election.
Manne has also excised more than half of his material on the reason for ASIO’s existence, namely, to repair relations with the U.S. Exchange of data had been embargoed in 1948 after the discovery that strategic documents were being leaked to the Soviet Embassy in Canberra.
Manne has not used that resource to rethink his analysis of “the Affair” through the prism of ASIO’s need to investigate the Canberra spy-ring while maintaining secrecy over the proof of its existence.

 ALOR - OnTarget Vol.29 - No.27
Initially Manne was quoted as one of the academics in favour of allowing Irving to visit Australia, thus creating the impression that he was at least a genuine libertarian.
And why not come clean, Robert Manne, and admit that Irving frankly says that if at long last a document is discovered, signed by Hitler, ordering the mass extermination of Jews by gassing, he will admit that he has been in error, as he admits he has been in error on several other matters.
Robert Manne has revealed his own totalitarianism claiming that his fellow Australians are not capable in assessing a man like David Irving for themselves.

 Eureka Street - September / October 2005
That is Robert Manne, in the introduction to Do Not Disturb (Black Inc, 2005), a disturbing and timely selection of essays on the current state of the Australian media by authors with whom readers will be familiar—Jack Waterford and Margaret Simons among them.
After all, Manne was the public intellectual who was routinely invited to provide the conservative heft, or right-wing 'balance' (as the ABC and print media would have it), in print or in public discussion.
Which doesn't mean that the reader is not prompted sometimes to ask why it took so long for Robert Manne to change his mind about some issues ('political correctness', for example), or why he had to identify so fully with a tribe—and all its baggage—in the first place.

 Violence link is a distorted view, by McKenzie Wark, 970108
I was surprised that Robert Manne would risk his reputation by repeating some of the half truths and one-and-a-half truths on violence and the media popular with the lunar right.
Manne claims that there is 'evidence' to suggest a 'link' between 'a diet of pornography or extreme depicted violence and the commission of crime'.
That Robert Manne should offer covering fire for such a policy is a sad indictment of the state of conservative thought in Australia.

 Peter Coleman -- 'The Intimations of Robert Manne.'
For let there be no mistake: Manne had brought to his anti-communist  polemics—on Petrov,  Burchett, the Combe-Ivanov  case—a sensitivity to the curse of communism, refined by  an horrific  family experience of Hitler’s National Socialism, that was  beyond  the comprehension of most Australian  commentators.
Manne began his editorship by banning a  widely admired paper on race that had been  delivered  to the Russellian Society by the philosopher  David Stove.
These writers were once among Manne’s collaborators.  Is  this what he meant when, as the Berlin Wall fell,  he  experienced  those  intimations that soon his old friends would become enemies and his enemies  friends?  In any case, this is what it has come to.

 Outside View: Figuring out Iraq - (United Press International)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Robert Manne, writing in The Age, was sourly derisive that the neo-conservative "scholar" was received by the prime minister, published in five newspapers and "interviewed respectfully by almost every serious public affairs program on the ABC" (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
Manne considers the results of a "sophisticated" American study of post-invasion deaths in the "prestigious" medical journal The Lancet as damning evidence against Bush.
Manne's argument is further undermined by the fact that Iraqi hospital figures, which have no reason to underreport the number of dead and injured, do not support The Lancet's small sampling.

 HISTORY SHAPED BY MYTHS
Manne later developed a typically sophisticated case in favour of abolition, one of his more shallow arguments being that one of factors which changed his thinking was the personal behaviour of members of the Royal Family, this including that of Prince Charles.
Manne writes, "It seems to me undeniable that the overall effect of Demidenko is to suggest that the Bolshevik regime was inspired by Jews, that the nastiest parts of the communist apparatus were Jewish, and that under the Bolsheviks, the Jews together with the Russians, were the oppressors of Ukraine."
Manne makes the revealing statement that "Until the publication of the Demidenko novel I had assumed that as a consequence of the Holocaust, the standard inferior fascist proposition - that Bolshevism is an expression of Jewish political power - was no longer a topic of discussion in civilized company.

 IPA in the News | Flaws Remain in Bringing Them Home
Manne says the structure of my argument is 'peculiar', because I have supposedly discovered terrible truths from the very report I described as 'intellectually and morally irresponsible'.
Manne's statement reveals a strange narcissism, because it implies that because he first learnt about the child separations from Bringing Them Home, the same is true of nearly everyone else.
Manne claims that my case against the bias of Bringing Them Home 'collapses' because the most significant and passionate Aboriginal advocacy of absorption, the pamphlet written to publicise the 1938 'Day of Mourning', was really written by a white fascist, 'Inky' Stephenson.

 Peter Coleman - All That swagger - Robert Manne's Virtuous Trajectory
For Manne had brought to his anticommunist polemics—on the Petrovs, Wilfred Burchett, the Combe–Ivanov case—a sense of the curse of communism, refined by his family experience of Nazism, that was beyond the comprehension of most Australian journalists and academics.
But also shocking to Manne was the claim by some of Demidenko’s supporters that she, like Geoffrey Blainey or Helen Garner, had become a victim of political correctness.
Manne’s unwillingness to publish critics of his strongly held views finally compelled the Board (or a majority) to raise doubts about his judgment.

 Robert Manne (ed), Do Not Disturb: Is the Media Failing Australia?
Interestingly, Murdoch's flagship, The Australian, took the accusations seriously enough to print extracts from the essays by Robert Manne and David McKnight and to produce an indignant rebuttal, which was accepted readily enough by the faithful but was seen by the cynics as an exercise in tokenism and sophistry.
Robert Manne: One element of the problem, and I think probably for me the biggest element of the problem, is the absurd side of the Murdoch press.
Robert Manne: I've always thought that the first thing before you get on to solutions, is to identify the problem and to debate it out.

 History News Network
Professor Manne said the plagiarism was contained in the Sydney historian's new book The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, which aims to debunk the idea that Tasmanian Aborigines and European settlers were engaged in a violent struggle.
Professor Manne said plagiarism had been committed in an "extraordinarily cold" passage which argued that Tasmanian Aborigines were a maladapted people who treated women badly and were ill-equipped to cope with the impact of European civilisation.
According to Professor Manne the "isolated mistake" did not discredit Mr Windschuttle's book but "if you create a sense of your own high standards as a historian then you are answerable to the standards that any decent historian would have to meet.

 Manne’s version of Edgerton
Robert Manne’s letter (December 23) quotes three sentences from my book The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, which he claims I plagiarised from Robert Edgerton.
If Manne was really concerned about academic probity he would not be mounting this irrelevant diversionary tactic but discussing the dozens of cases my book reveals where historians have falsified evidence, misquoted and distorted original documents, and invented atrocities that never occurred.
Manne’s original charge of plagiarism studiously avoided any mention of the kind of comparisons that are made in the table below.

Manne launches the queasy thesis that because of our respect for equal rights for women, and our justified concerns about islamic fundamentalist culture, we are all islamophobic.....
No Robert, expressing a healthy dislike for the cultural wonders of sharia law, female circumcision and dressing women up like The Mummy is not a sign of cultural decay, racism, bigotry, redneck rampages or anything of the sort.
Manne should learn that racial tolerance does not entail respect for deranged cultural practices, which if enforced by our government, would send our culturally correct Left into fits of horrified apoplexy.

Professor Robert Manne from Latrobe University is a strident defender of free speech.
ROBERT MANNE: There is a serious issue about whether someone who seems to be an outright racist like Andrew Fraser is, there's a real issue as to whether or not the university will support that free speech or not.
But it seems to me that to argue the way the university now does in order to sort of remove him as a lecturer this semester is… and to pretend that the reason is for his safety, I think is a very specious form of argument, and one that I don't think is reputable.
