Thanks for the great reads over the last year. I am a Canadian without any connections to Australia or political science, but I think the way you wrote was an engaging introduction to international relations as an academic discipline and profession.
After following your posts, I also see how Australia finds itself in a tougher geopolitical situation than Canada. Nonetheless, I think that having to face this challenge is also what will make Australia more resilient and ultimately the more influential country on the world stage.
Ben, I know the costs of staying alert in the face of the PRC info fire-hydrant. I hope some other energetic soul sees the need you did and takes up the challenge. More power to your elbow…
As Jay-Z almost said of BCB, you succeeded at this Substack game, the two things that’s great. Thanks for all your good work, Ben

Thanks so much for all your hard work, Ben, and all my best for the future.
Sorry to see your efforts come to an end Ben. It was always a good read and it’s hard to keep bouncing back out again.
