Tim Dunlop, of blogocracy, makes the (headline) claim that the proposed (Australian) national history panel is right wing.

The claim does not stand up to scrutiny. Admittedly, the article does not make the headline point, but the observation that Mr Gerard Henderson is somehow a creature undeserving of the appointment is not without bias.
The current teaching curricula for years 9 and 10 in Australia are heavily dominated by radical left wing bias. The appointment of conservatives will not make it radical right wing, except in perspective to the positioning of the current courses, and possibly Mao Tse Tung.
