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 for saying it as it is AGAIN! John Cranmer | 21 May 2014
Maybe making his ears to appear to be getting bigger will be a better illustration of a liar who believes his own lies; and refuses to listen to the protests of the people about the budget, the asylum seekers, the disabled and the youth who are seeking employment and pensioners, who need to retire in comfort! Sadly, he never learned the values of social responsibility and social justice inspite of his Jesuit education. Or, was he on a paper chase only after the grade to finish his studies which seems to define him again at this time. I believe he should resign and let more capable leaders (not politicains).

That nose might reach Nth Korea and finding a more harder concentration kamp for the asylum seakers instead of Cambodia and tell us that it is somewhere different Matthew | 21 May 2014
