"Prominent guest authors have included Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Peter Thiel, and Ted Cruz in the online and print edition"
Note the "Controversies"
@lucyham.bsky.social Have you had a look at John O'Sullivan - editor-at-large National Review?
"Many of the magazine's commentators are affiliated with think-tanks such as The Heritage Foundation and American Enterprise Institute."
Thank you 🙏
He was Australia’s ambassador in Brussels between 2014 and 2017 and then joined the Danube Institute 2018-21. " He resigned in protest..." - maybe that's why his data not avail?
Yes, "... in 1982, he undertook an internship at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.." O'Sullivan served from 2008 to 2012
In 2015, BP and Caltex ended their joint venture
"......in a deal that could lead to the closure of some of the country's eight refineries and further rationalise the 8,000 petrol stations."
"...possible development of a joint venture to operate their Australian refineries and associated oil supply and shipping functions."
And after the happy Ampol/Caltex union.. this
"BP and Caltex want to unify their four local refineries into one company to save more than $100 million and improve profits,.."
"Ampol's managing director, Dr Ian Blackburne, said the group would also "optimise" its existing refining operations - Ampol's in Brisbane and Caltex's Kurnell refinery in Sydney."
"The merger will see about 700 staff retrenched, a number of terminals closed and administration operations restructured, as well as a wholesale rationalisation of the groups' retail outlets. Redundancies are expected to cost between $40 million and $45 million in 1995.
Ampol was reviewing Lytton (as well as the older Kurnell - now closed) closure back in the day after it merged with Caltex - I remember it well
It was described as "distinguished Australian journal, Quadrant" in his Acton Institute bio - www.acton.org/about/author...
"Did he continue to be paid by the institute? Did he spend much time in the Quadrant office in Sydney?"
"It’s strange thought: that this decades-old tribune of the Australian right, Quadrant, was being edited by an Englishman who also held the most senior position in a Budapest-based think tank funded by the Hungarian government. "
A lot of his articles also appeared in The Spectator, like the one below - may help?

"Danube Institute president John O’Sullivan – who was a speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher – wrote in 2021 that climate change is not happening as quickly as scientists say, citing the work of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), the UK’s main climate denial group. "
" The group’s director, Callum Nicholson, is also director of the Danube Institute, another Hungarian think tank which has received government funding via the non-profit Batthyány Lajos Foundation (BLA).
Have to ask - does Paul O'Sullivan have any connection to John??
In view of the cosy relations/appointments made during Howard/Abbott era
Heritage Foundation and many of Project 2025’s authors have a history of working with organizations funded and controlled by the Hungarian government.

The Nézőpont Group (Nézőpont Intézet) is a prominent pro-government Hungarian think tank ... both the Danube Institute and the Nézőpont Group are part of the same, intertwined ecosystem of conservative, government-aligned think tanks in Budapest
"Only two pro-government players applied for the tender: the Századvég Group Foundation and two companies close to another government friendly think thank, Nézőpont"
I'd rather chew off my right arm at the elbow than go through the "pain" of watching Malcolm Roberts - I'll pass 😁
Hungarian government-funded nonprofit Batthyány Lajos Foundation (BLA), which maintains the Danube Institute (DI),
Douglas Murray - The great John O’Sullivan has a story about Enoch Powell which he keeps promising to put into print.

"The table below shows the countries that have increased petrol prices at the pumps"
"Oil prices and food prices move in lockstep with energy prices affecting every stage of the food supply chain, from the fertilisers used in the fields to the trucks that carry food from field to supermarket shelf"
