I can’t understand why there is so little interest in the republican debate. Is it because it doesn’t matter? We should all have a keen interest because it is at the heart of us being an independent country.

I ask this question because I genuinely ponder over it daily. We are on this constant hunt for self reflection and improvement but really whats the point? We are only around for 80 years or so, why does it matter if we are the best we can be? Why don’t we spend our time attempting to improve the lives of others instead?

Is there an objective sense of what is moral? Or, does morality only exist in action between people. If you steal a movie online is this OK because no one saw you do it? If people are abused in detention centres is this OK because no one was watching?

Because I am a woman. All women suffer because of gender inequality. Both men and women would gain if gender equality was a reality.

Yay for discovering water on Mars and flying past Pluto and all that, but should we be looking at WTF is happening on our own planet a bit more?

Similar wars, Dictatorships Governments and issues is happening rapidly in history. Why the people want to make these disasters never read the history. If they learn from history similar disasters in human life will never happen. For example after Adolf Hitler in Germany ( Dictator that Suicide at last) many other dictators came ( Like Saddam Hussein in Iraq and…) and they got the same results. If we read the nations history it is full of similar issues was made by mankind. In fact mankind is repeating his/her mistakes rapidly without taking care to the result of same mistakes was made by others before.

One of the most infamous examples was the Lindy Chamberlain case and I noticed other such cases also. I wonder how many lives have been ruined because public opinion, along with the media are happy to make ill-informed judgements.

Nobody is making any more land. The population is increasing. We only have one planet. Ownership is power. Power corrupts.

And what was the deal with that Cambodia resettlement? So much money for four people…

I have just finished a painting on the Myall Creek Massacre for the Blake Prize. Part of me feels like I should be advocating in my artist statement but I was not driven by advocacy when painting; I was driven by inquiry and emotional turbulence

Sick of seeing a difference in how I am treated.
