Australian Left Review was a monthly journal of the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) from 1966 to 1992. It was one of a number of left political journals founded in Australia in the post-war years, including Overland and Arena (first series).
Australian Left Review was the successor to the earlier CPA journal Communist Review. In 1992, the publication briefly changed its name to ALR Magazine before ceasing publication altogether.
Famous quotes containing the words australian, left and/or review:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“Ah! How neatly tied, in these people, is the umbilical cord of morality! Since they left their mothers they have never sinned, have they? They are apostles, they are the descendants of priests; one can only wonder from what source they draw their indignation, and above all how much they have pocketed to do this, and in any case what it has done for them.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
