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.
How true! Bill, the choice of his pollie mates, not the party's ever-dwindling membership, remains becalmed, unable to make any impression. ScoMo, the thrasher of human rights, finds, like his former leader, that doing something creative like firing up the economy, is all too difficult. And Dutton, what can we say about Dutton, the former Abbott minister for... what was it now, he made such an impression? Ginger Meggs | 19 January 2016
