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?

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

    Why do we talk so much about moving forward when all we do is repeat ourselves?
    6+

    My passion for history often leads to frustration that we seem to learn so litle from the past, and the pain of a friend’s recent and unexpected marriage break up has been exacerbated by so many glibly advising her to move forward when she can’t (yet).

    Why are children’s illustrators not considered to be real artists
    5+

    I teach, research and write in this area. Children’s illustrations are often people’s first encounter with art.

    Why do products fail to meet their original basic purpose when they are mass produced in low cost manufacturing? Think pop-up toaster.

    It seems to be a common pattern, and one that creates waste.

    Should we make a comparable area of commonwealth land in the Northern Territory, Western Australia,or Queensland available to the small island communities who will lose their land due to rising sea levels?
    13+

    I fear for their future.
    These are small island communities without much support or political clout to get support. They are human beings and need our support. We should care about the plight of our neighbours. It could be a lost culture. They will need somewhere to live and continue their lives with dignity

    Mostly because it’s fun, but I wonder about the benefits of unstructured, inclusive and spontaneous activities that allow people to experience themselves without purpose.

    Why should I even bother studying hard and going to university when the public don’t respect my field & there are no job opportunities?
    3+

    Society places great importance on good grades for a good future, but the reality after university looks bleak for so many students – especially Bachelor of Arts students. Even those graduating from top universities struggle to find work in their field. Why has university undergraduate degrees become obsolete? Why is my cohort filled with bitterness and disappointment at the end of their studies, rather than hope for the future?
