If funding stopped to Manus Island we could effectively and humanely support a heck of a lot more refugees in Australia. Discuss.
And what was the deal with that Cambodia resettlement? So much money for four people…
Asked by:Why do we keep asking the same questions to get the same answers? Shouldn’t we change the question?
I asked this question because nothing seems to actually change or progress. For example, why are we asking how to legalise same-sex marriage? Shouldn’t we be asking how do we redefine marriage? Or how can a legal framework be less discriminatory? I am asking because I care, and you should too. We can make a difference, we just have to stop doing things in the way they have always been done!
Asked by:Does society have a natural rate of evolution?
Modern democracy has evolved over many decades, and continues to evolve today. Early settlement of Australia has had a devastating effect on native Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders. While the West’s attempt to democratise the Middle East appears to be doing no good. Is it that the attempt to change a society too quickly can only lead to failure?
Why can’t I give you an answer instead of asking a question?
Asked by:Infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. How can we transition to a ‘post-growth’ economy without triggering a financial collapse?
The underpinnings of our civilisation are based on an untenable premise.
Asked by:Are we still driven by the same principle/s that enabled the formation of life?
Why have we allowed the most mediocre of Western knowledge and culture to colonise us, instead of the wisdom of indigenous cultures?
It seems a no-brainer not to stand on the shoulders of giants, and in my humble opinion there is much we could still learn from indigenous cultures of the world.
