We need no reminding of the depth of the division that exists in our Australian community. It's there every time we go online, turn on the TV, open the newspaper.
Our politics is focused on point-scoring, personalities, and name-calling across party lines. The media, for the most part, don't help, driven by the 24-hour news cycle and the pursuit of advertising dollars into a frenzy of click-bait and shallow sensationalism.
What does it mean to be an Australian in times like these? What are the values that unite us?
Eureka Street offers an alternative. It's less a magazine than a wide ranging conversation about the issues that matter in our country and our world; a conversation marked by respect for the dignity of all human beings.
To do this, we rely on your support as our community and we thank you for giving it so generously.
