    How mature is Australia as a nation?
    9+

    This question is important because it reflects on the debates, thoughts and conversations that occur across Australian society, which influences public opinion and government policy. It is particularly important when we consider ideas about social progress and human advancement.

    Why is there 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds in a day? Can’t we decimalise time?
    10+

    I’d love 10 hours, 100 minutes and 100 seconds in a day – scientists would love it. But could people cope with such a fundamental change to everyone’s (in the world!) lives?

    Why the term ‘climate change’ without a changing climate the world as we know it would not exist, why the misnomer now?
    0

    Because climate change is talked about hundreds of times a day and the meaning of the term and issues tat need to be talked about are at odds. It is simply incorrect use of the english language, in a similar way to the use of ‘cement’ when referring to ‘concrete’!

    Why do we think working for a living is necessary?
    16+

    Most of us work because it facilitates us being paid, which affords us the ability to live. Some few people manage to pursue passions, vocations and the like. Others make different valuable contributions to society. What is necessary about working – is there a different model of enough where people can live well and contribute to a collective society without it being reduced to the *need* and *imperative* to have a job and be paid. What if there were other ways?

    How much Propylene Glycol is safe to have in the bloodstream?
    4+

    Find out if the food admin & the drug admin have correlated their ‘facts’ on PG. What ‘safe’ means, when talking about this petroleum-based substance: PG is a preservative in nearly all over food, drinks, self-care products, medicines…

    Why has the world still not taken action on climate change?
    8+

    Despite knowing about the risks of climate change since the 1960s and after 25 years of UN climate negotiations, emissions have continued to rise. With the impacts now clearly visible around the world, why are governments still failing to act?

    How would we construct and express identity without bodies?
    11+

    From first impressions to ‘finding your tribe’, identities are formed, projected, assumed and reinforced in an increasingly image-conscious world. How would our experience of identity (ethnic, gender, sexual, ableness, age etc.) differ in a hypothetical non-physical world where we were not constantly assuming identities – voluntarily or otherwise – based on aspects of our physical appearance?

    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!!
