The Fastest Growing Current Affairs Magazine in Australia. Launched in May 2005, The Monthly is Australia's most successful independent magazine, filling the gap in intelligent, original writing on politics, society and culture. Its first fifty issues have covered the major current affairs and events of our times. Richard Flanagan's ‘Gunns: Out of Control' inspired Geoffrey Cousins' anti-pulpmill campaign against Malcolm Turnbull; Kevin Rudd's ‘Faith in Politics' introduced the former prime minister's thinking to the nation before he became the Labor leader. Chloe Hooper's ‘The Tall Man' (2006) and Malcolm Knox's ‘Cruising' (2007) won Walkley Awards for best magazine feature; music reviewer Robert Forster won the 2006 Pascal Prize for critical writing; Gideon Haigh and Chloe Hooper shared the 2006 John Curtin Prize for journalism. Without earbashing, dumbing-down or spouting cliché, Australia's best thinkers - Robert Manne, Luke Davies, Gay Bilson, John Hirst, Helen Garner, Don Watson, Waleed Aly, John Birmingham, Amanda Lohrey, Mungo MacCallum, Shane Maloney, Clive James, Charles Firth, Drusilla Modjeska, David Marr - offer their ideas in investigative essays, stories from around the nation, and reviews of books and film, art and architecture ... The Monthly: the magazine with the fastest growing readership in its category.
