How far are we from a borderless, visa-less world?
    8+

    I’m a traveller, and as an Indian, I find travelling beyond India quite challenging due to Visa restrictions. This is a symptom of a larger problem. Till the time there are boundaries, there are going to be conflicts. The direction of history has been towards unification, we have far less independent political sovereignities today in the world than ever in history, but world unification still seems elusive. Is it going to happen anytime soon?

    Can we have a public open discussion on the question of if we have the right to decide when we want to die
    25+

    I am very interested in working withholder people who are interested in planning for their end of life decision making and this is the BIG issue that keeps being discussed.

    How do first generation Australians or recent migrants to Australia justify supporting highly restrictive migration policies?
    12+

    The sheer number of culturally diverse members of our community who show up to anti-Islam and anti-migration rallies flies in the face of the notion that such movements are only supported by those identifying as Anglo Australian.

    How do you reconcile your fears of morbidity and death with an unwillingness to live a vigorous, joyful and health-giving life?
    3+

    I am fascinated by individuals’ inability/unwillingness to take full responsibility for their choices, especially when it comes to looking after themselves.

    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 aren’t people kinder to each other?
    12+

    Because it’s universal.

    Why is Cameron Frye such an underappreciated character? He was the kid I related to most in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
    12+

    This cult film is loved by so many, and yet there are many overlooked ideas in the movie. Did Cameron really make things better with his dad? What’s the deal with Ferris, anyway? He’s so sure of himself, and his parents love him and he can do whatever he wants, and he knows it! Cameron is the real MVP. Recognition is needed.

    Would we be better off having a standard four day work week?
    50+

    How many times have you heard, ‘I wish it was a long weekend EVERY weekend…’ after a public holiday?? Australia has one of the highest rates of unpaid overtime in the western world. In a globally competitive, free-market (rat) race to make a living, are we forgetting to make a life for ourselves? Could a four day week be the ticket to improve our relationships, our mental health and our ability to find meaning and purpose in our lives? How would our economy react if we all collectively agreed to work less?

    Should we bring back conscription?
    3+

    Some countries use a year of compulsory military service as a rite of passage for young adults. Looking at our 18 year olds today, some might say we need to bring in this kind of enforced ‘gap year’ for the good of the individual and of our whole society. And of course, it would strengthen the country militarily to have a national service corps. But at what cost? Would this be worth it?

    When will the psychiatric regime end?
    5+

    When humanity becomes humane, starts listening to people, rather than propaganda, regimes that torture and control will be exposed and stopped. The psychiatric regime has been going on for over 200 in various countries, enabling genital mutilation on women who opposed their husbands, LSD testing in the 1960s, and various torturous procedures.
    The people forcefully tested with insulin shock and LSD, haven’t received compensation, because our government declares the medical profession were allowed to torture people that way in the 1960s & 70s.
    The people who are being currently subjected to torture by the psychiatric regime, are also unlikely to receive compensation, unless there is wide-spread condemnation for the psychiatric procedures forcefully done in our government’s name on innocent people as young as two and as old as people can be. Electroshock used on 4 year olds, pills fed daily to tranquilise two year olds. Not to mention what they do to people in their prime.
    It is physically obvious what psychiatric torture does to people. It must be stopped.
    How dare anyone think our country is a democracy when this is going on. How dare the organisations of festivals censor psychiatric survivors who speak out because of sponsorship deals. How dare the Australian people be so unaware of what is happening to their citizens.
    The question is when? The answer should be now.

    What is so wrong with being a woman?
    8+

    Out of all the groups of people in society, females are the most bullied, abused and subjected to eugenics. They are the group of people most asked to change, their tone, their clothes, their way of reacting, as if women have to always follow or else. And then, when women follow, they’ll then be vilified by another fashion that wishes to bully them into following.
