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.
It's Ironic that the majority of the illustrations are three word slogans. luke | 05 November 2015
What God said;- the very First Commandment ever made, - was 'Let there be Light'. It was slow to arrive; -billions of years after the 'Big Bang' before our Sun was formed. And billions of years again before the light of Reason developed in human minds. And still we have not yet witnessed the full flowering of the transforming Light of Love, that promises to unite our collective Minds and Hearts and put us in tune with our Creator, and enable the Spirit of God to animate our Great Body - the Human Race, in which everyone has a part to play, and finds their fulfilment in it.

Except no compassion for Tony Abbot of course! But maybe he's not a person - so falls outside the perimeters of our compassion? Elizabeth McKenzie | 05 November 2015
