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.
Harsh, Fiona! Very harsh towards muppets... Bill Venables | 16 January 2019
The muppets as you call them are muppets we the people have let get there where they run the show. like all the muppets before them for as long as I can remember which is getting on for nigh 60 years. But they are all there has ever been; any decent character that sticks head up is soon dispatched. I am angry and ashamed and wonder why i ever came back to this country and stayed when I need not have 30 and 40 years ago. Every aspect of it is run by self serving mediocrities, always has been. I threw out TV years ago now. Will not buy and rarely read any newspaper. Cant bear the sanctimonious drivel on the ABC. Even worse is the so called 'community radio'. ( Only this magazine is pretty good and I'm not even a mick.) If anyone will buy me a ticket out I'd go tomorrow. Portugal appeals. Some remote island off Scotland . What can I do to get deported and have my citizenship revoked? Do I have to threaten to blow something up? Suppose have to get locked up first that way. Hmm. Thinks. Jaq Spratt | 23 January 2019
