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.
Congratulations Fiona. Another very pertinent comment on current important issues on the Australian political scene. I think that you have three Australians in mind: Julian Assange - the man whose organisation exposed the corruption and the war crimes being conducted by several governments - and Witness K and Bernard Collaery - the two Australians who assisted the East Timorese get justice in the Timor Sea and who are facing imprisonment by our God-fearing government. Sometimes it seems that it is only the cartoonists in the main stream media who tell the truth about political reality. Andrew (Andy) Alcock | 01 August 2019
