    This is Indian Australians helping our their fellow Aussies during the catastrophic bushfires. Remember them? They fed thousands across 3 states. When we faced a crisis, they donated and helped. When they are faced with a crisis we threaten to fine their families returning to Aus

    Dear (some) Victorians. Dictatorship is not an experience. It’s not a rule that requires you to stay home and bake bread. A dictatorship means a gun to the head, your friends go missing, your loved ones disappear and you panic buy a one way ticket to another country. Ask my mum.

    Ben Roberts-Smith and Bruce Lehrmann, both supported by a billionaire, mistakenly believed that this backing would secure them an easy pass through the legal system. If it were not for Lehrmann's belief in coming back to eat one's vomit, many would still be hunting down his

    It cost billions, to steal millions (from the poor), to empower a few. For a long time, the Australian public’s view of their democracy can be summed up by this front page. Faith in our institutions is at rock bottom. There is some poetic justice though. The man these named

    Imagine a country. A country where you need to conduct an election to determine if its native people are allowed to have a say on how government policy impacts their people. You live in this country. Yes, its Australia in 2023. Not 1923. Put that on the ballot paper. Put that

    Win the battle. Lose the War. Maybe. Teal seats massive in favour of Yes. Liberal Party will win the battle but it may lose the war because these voters will not forgive them for supporting No. These social issues matter to these voters.

    If you are on the left side of politics and do not find this deeply distressing. In fact, if you don’t find it outrageous. Then you are not in the Left but rather in a 1930s Bavarian Beer Hall.

    Anthony Albanese was booed at the Australian Men’s Tennis Open. The cheapest seats were close to $1000. Most tickets were a lot more. Not the demographic that will determine the next election.

    The Liberals campaigned with the cookers and sent their own votes to them - genius

    A politician who championed the voice of the most oppressed. If you want to know why he keeps winning elections. You need to accept the reality that a majority of voters want empathy and compassion from their political leaders. Not nastiness and hate.

    As a country, we've spent so long telling Aboriginal Australians how it's going to be. Telling them what's best for them. And it hasn't worked. The Voice is an offer to change that.

    As a Greek I am compelled by my own history to vote Yes. So are many other migrants and children of migrants. My ancestral land is no longer my home, it’s no longer the home of my relatives. It’s a reality that the No campaign completely overlooked.

    Fatima Payman represents a diverse younger Australia. She belongs to a part of Australia that the Labor Party is increasingly losing touch with. You will not find many like her among Labor’s membership, parliamentary ranks, or staffing body. Some federal Labor MPs demanding her

    ‘Power grab by group of elites’. Australia’s richest 1% gained 10 times more wealth in past decade than bottom 50%. First Nation people are right at the bottom of that 50%. The word elite is used by elites whenever their power is threatened.

    The Yes campaign would be in a far better position if it worked with some of the best progressive campaigners in Australia. Not shutting them out. Like this man. Premier Dan Andrews begun his explanation (on the Voice) by declaring "you get better outcomes when you listen to
