If there's one thing that the recent election campaign and its outcome demonstrated, it's the depth of the divisions that exist in our Australian community.
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.
Importantly, it's a conversation that takes place in the open, unhindered by paywalls or excessive advertising. And it's through the support of people like you that it is able to do so.
Great to see in this cartoon the PM/embarrassed t-shirt not selling. Spot on! Since Abbott has, against all leftist wailings, shored up relations with Indonesia and China, distanced himself from that hopeless loser Obama, and strengthened ties with Canada, he's hardly been an embarrassment. Especially compared with his immediate predecessors, whose monumental foreign affairs gaffe after gaffe the media sedulously avoided commenting on. So, well done, Fiona! HH | 10 June 2014
Abbott, that's the bloke who talked about no one being a 'suppository of all wisdom', isn't it? Naw, no reason to be embarrassed. (Perhaps you haven't seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oep_DPDy6xw ) Ginger Meggs | 11 June 2014
Where can I get a dozen of the shirts in assorted sizes? Sorry, HH, we may be in alternate universes. Au Contraire | 12 June 2014
