    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.

    For a nation of immigrants why have we become a less welcoming country in the last 10 or so years?
    40+

    I’m annoyed by the illogical and racist emails that I receive from friends whose parents or grandparents came here as so called economic migrants or refugees. Ever since people like Pauline Hanson have come on the scene I’ve seen a change in our culture. I’m sure most Australians don’t want to live in a racist country.

    Is democracy in danger of becoming irrelevant?
    3+

    People are increasingly concerned that it does not matter who you vote for, it often does not change anything. There is a crisis of satisfactory leadership throughout the world, where vested interests control things behind the scenes rather than governments, eg. Wolfgang Scheuble: ‘Elections change nothing.’

    Is asking a question a better way to assess intelligence than providing an answer?
    8+

    So much assessment is about answering questions. As a teacher I often find my students’ questions reveal more about their intelligence than the answers they give. They also help me understand my students better too.

    What’s the difference between an expat and an immigrant?
    30+

    Who gets to be an expat, and what makes them different from an immigrant? Why do we label new arrivals as immigrants with an implied scorn, while choose to label white, wealthy immigrants as expats?

    Like, when there is more than one opinion at play… and our beliefs are based on what we feel to be intuitive truths, how the hell do we make a decision? Is it just power?

    Why can’t we lease Australian land instead of selling it to overseas interests?
    9+

    Nobody is making any more land. The population is increasing. We only have one planet. Ownership is power. Power corrupts.

    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.
