The Federal Court has ordered online news site New Matilda not to publish further details about Barry Spurr's leaked emails, which referred to Prime Minister Tony Abbott as an "Abo-lover" and made references to "Mussies" and "Chinky-poos". Professor Spurr, who was also a consultant to the Federal Government's national English curriculum review, was widely criticised over the emails after New Matilda published extracts last week.

And he demonstrated that policy required intellectual rigour and political muscle. We err in thinking of EG Whitlam through the prism of his dismissal. He was a champion immersed in politics, blessed with patience and determination. More » Whitlam's most stunningly successful acts What would Gough have done?
