Why do you think the catholic church is so reluctant to take an active stance against pedophilia amongst it’s own ranks?

    Why, in 2015, is the catholic church still not taking action against priests/bishops in positions of power who abuse children? A lot of it is getting swept under the rug. Is it to save face in light of declining religious beliefs amongst the public?

    Why are people asked on television ‘what are you going to spend the money on’?
    3+

    Is the question ever answered well? Is the question ever answered honestly? Is it anyone’s damn business? My boss doesn’t ask me when he gives me my paycheck.

    Who’s keeping track?
    3+

    When I “bags” the last Tim Tam who/what is keeping track? When I “pinch and punch for the first of the month” and then declare “full locks, no return” who/what is watching on? When I go to the toilet during the third quarter who/what is making sure Richmond gets a goal? When I pray for world peace is anyone listening?

    How would your life be different, if you were afraid of nothing?
    6+

    I think fear drives the majority of our choices, in both positive and negative ways. I love hearing people talk about how it impacts them.

    How can we change governments to plan for the future (educationally and economically), not just the next election? Who gets this right?
    8+

    Infrastructure of all kinds (energy, transport) city planning, education and training (tafe especially) and job market changes seem to catch Australian governments asleep at the wheel. We seem to be responding to change, not preparing for it

    Why are indigenous communities facing forced closure under the guise of sustainability, when communities such as the City of Casey are experiencing alarmingly high rates of family violence, and as a result, children in out of home care?
    9+

    This is important for the elimination of racism, violent behaviours, rates of imprisonment, and increased government transparency and ownership.

    Has loneliness in the 21st century Western World reached epidemic levels?
    57+

    Loneliness is something that I have been grappling with lately, and I have noticed an up-tick in think-pieces about technologies effect on social relationships between people and a loss of community. The connections people have with others has been a perennial interest of humankind.

    Why do we have 5 mins of sport at the end of news instead of 5 mins of arts/culture? How would this change our perception of the world?
    27+

    Not everyone is into sport. For some, their equivalent is the arts/culture or even the environment. Why are these things considered ‘features’ rather than staples of our news diet? I wonder how society would change if one or two newsrooms started this trend?

    Why must professional swimmers train so early in the morning? The races are not at this time. They have all day to swim.
    11+

    I’ve always wondered. Every swimmer says they hate the early starts. So swim later. YOU HAVE ALL DAY TO SWIM! The races are often at night. Pools are indoors. It makes no sense!!
