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.

    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).

    If vaccination is safe, why has the “Vaccine Court” in USA paid out billions in compensation?ne
    3+

    This is the elephant in the room whenever the question of vaccine safety is discussed on public media.
    I that people who are coerced into vaccination by public campaigns have the right to know accurate information about the safety and effectiveness of vaccination.

    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.

    The absence of integrity has pervaded every part of society. How do we inspire and infuse integrity, from here on?
    11+

    Lack of integrity has led to self-interest before social interest. As a species, if we continue we will obliterate ourselves and earth. This includes endless personal consumption, regardless of the environmental impact to the world, money before medical care, power and glory of national leaders before a love of and duty to their people, country and the world. Extreme poverty can be truly alleviated if world leaders would work together. War works, while the arsenal is manufactured by countries without integrity. Banks make gluttonous profits, while so many slave over a mortgage all their lives. Those born with the innate capacity of cognitive brilliance, who become scientists, leaders, inventors, business achievers, should be the carers of those with much less ability. How do we inspire and deliver integrity again?

    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
