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.
A very pertinent comment, although worth noting that the Prime Minister actually promised an 'Integrity Commission' which showed little sign of being able to hold governments, ministers and politicians to account, without even the ability to take up matters on its own initiative - not nearly good enough! And I'm not convinced that Labor's model is that much better. Our political leaders enjoy some cover. Peter Johnstone | 15 October 2020
