    Whether it’s gun control or bicycle helmets, Australia’s Common Law leads to a duty of care. What would the world look like if this was adopted internationally?

    Why has society constructed this idea of a ‘path’ to follow in order to be happy and successful? And are we all just waiting to die?
    6+

    This is the current internal debate I am struggling with as a student about to graduate and go out into the competitive and soul-crushing work force world. There is often this moral vs. wealth and success debate when thinking about the person I want to be and whether I can truly make an impact in this world. How can we break free from the ideals in place by our society and comfortably be ourselves without giving up certain parts of who we are and how we think?

    Does society need to face up to its diversity rather than fear losing its privacy?
    4+

    Suppression of information is a means of maintaining power structures. Society prefers to pretend we all conform to an imagined standard rather than accept its own diverse nature.

    There is FB campaign that ‘no child belongs in detention’ Are the advocates saying children should be taken from their parents?

    Children belong with their parents and we must always have screening of refugees. This has a potential for another ‘stolen generation’

    If black is a “colour without colour”, why are black people referred to as “people of colour”?
    3+

    It seems weird that both black and white are not actual colours, but black people are referred to as people of colour, which means that white people are assumed to be people without colour.

    Does the Aboriginal culture of family and sharing help or hinder their position in Australian society? And is migration an added threat?
    5+

    Because new waves of migrants continue to make healthy, happy new futures in Australia while the Aboriginal people seem to suffer continued low employment and poor health.
