Materialism our god
Today in the harsh daylight of our overcrowded cities, in developed nations around the globe, we are encouraged to worship only one god, the holy dollar. People are rushing about in their cars, and on public transport, to reach their destinations, their places of work and of investment, where labour and lead may be turned into gold. Sitting at terminals, … Read entire article »

Our Posthuman Future – Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution By Francis Fukuyama Profile Books, 2003.

Is Sex a mystical gateway?
Is sex a mystical gateway, to a boundless place of untold pleasures and exquisite pains, in your life? Sex, I think, is different things at different times of our lives. It reflects what we are seeking, at that juncture, and therefore, who, we are attracting into our life. For it is a union of energies after all, and as they say … Read entire article »

Sanctimonious Sporting Media
Sporting journalists and sporting bodies in this country are fast becoming ridiculous in their holier than thou positions on drug and alcohol abuse by players . I think they have reached a tipping point, where their public posturing on these issues have crossed over from the blind avoidance of the past to a new, publicity driven, unrealistic standard of zero tolerance. We cannot lose sight of of what our cultural norm is in regard to recreational drug taking, gambling and sexual behaviours, or we risk becoming hypocritical in the extreme. Reading The Australian newspaper’s, Patrick Smith, one could be forgiven for thinking that football players and their associates are representative of some higher church (obviously much higher … Read entire article »
Suicide Rates in Australia
I read with interest a recent report into suicide, published in The Australian newspaper, where it was declared that the rate of annual suicide in Australia is now well over that of road deaths. It was, I think, a feature written with the intent to ring a few alarm bells in this country, amongst leaders and the general population. It … Read entire article »
A New Generation of AFL Kicks Off
It was an exciting night at Blacktown Oval, for fans of Australian football, to see two brand, new clubs run out onto the ground in their colourful strips. The GWS Giants and the Gold Coast Suns were brilliantly attired in blazing orange and red, illuminating us all into a new AFL reality. The Sydney Swans were there as well, representing an already successfully grafted foreign body into what was Rugby League territory. But beyond the bitching of the opposing football codes it was very exciting to have this new injection of identities, talent and passion into the AFL competition. Football trades a lot on tradition, especially with it’s fans, and it has been a long … Read entire article »

The ALP and the Demise of the Two Party System
Australian Politics in Flux by Sudha Hamilton Discussion by political scribes, about the demise of the two party system in Australia, and in particular the waning of the Labor Party, is all the rage right now. Talk about the failure of the ALP to be a truly representative worker’s party, and its apparent hijacking by professional politburocrats, seems to be commentary long overdue. For the ALP began this transmutation way back with Whitlam in the late sixties and was the only means for them to be elected after 23 years of conservative government. They needed to expand out of an identity, locked into the union movement, and move toward one more representative of the rapidly expanding Australian … Read entire article »

Childcare Solutions
Child Care Solutions Aged care and child care synergies for a better world. By Sudha Hamilton. An idea that I have been carrying around for sometime is to do with two similar needs from two disparate subsections of our communities – the old and the very young both require care and company. What if we combined these two institutions – the retirement village and the child care facility – or at least placed them next door to each other with connecting access? We would have two groups of cared for people who could, under qualified supervision, provide well meaning contact with each other. How many times have we observed our older members … Read entire article »
National Broadband Network
Murdoch’s News Corporation’s Campaign to Derail NBN by Sudha Hamilton We have a government attempting to build a real Australian wide national broadband network – this in an island continent like Australia is not an easy or cheap thing to do. Despite all the difficulties involved in doing this, and especially so with a minority government, it looks like progress is happening, albeit slowly. Why then do we have The Australian newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, engaging in a blatant smear and destroy campaign? Why do we condone this tearing down, negative style shit perpetrated by one of the world’s richest men in our market place? Is Rupert … Read entire article »
Immigration Nation
I was very impressed with the first episode of Immigration Nation on SBS. It really brought home to me the deep-seated roots of racism in Australia and put it in an international context, showing it’s effect upon the world around us. To not realise, or not care, how this appalling attitude would impact on our Asian nation neighbours, and in particular Japan, conveys an incredible contempt and naivety for and about the non-white world at the time. Perhaps it puts the reported ferocity of the Japanese soldiers during WWII into some sort of context, as there is no action without a reaction – treated as less than … Read entire article »
Gay Marriage in Australia
Nothing annoys me more in the newspaper, than News Corp’s paid opinion piece writers ( I can’t call them journalists because they don’t do any journalism) commenting on what suburban Australian’s think and feel. How would they know? How long has it been since they have been out in the field actually asking people? There continues to be a reliance on impressions made by listening to talk back radio, which is not a true indication of ordinary Australian’s view points – talk back radio attracts extremists from both sides of the political spectrum. Likewise surveys taken from microscopic samples do not show a really accurate representation of … Read entire article »
Revisiting Gandhi the Mahatama
I enjoyed the opening installment of the program on Gandhi, currently showing on the ABC Monday’s at 7.30pm. It traced his roots to his birth town in India and looked at the early influences on his life. There is a tendency in us all, I think, to see great historical figures as ready-made and cardboard cut-outs, rather than the deeply complex individuals they were. In fact, I posit, the same is true of us all – we are all far more complex than we are seen and considered by our friends and networks of acquaintances to be. I wonder if this tendency is due to the design of our … Read entire article »
Focus on Aussie Female PM
The Australian media is in a frenzy about their female Prime Minister – focusing on how the electorate see her; how her colleagues rate her and how her opposition reckon she is going. The question needs to be asked, “would this focus be so in your face if she was a man?” There seems to be an unwritten rule that you can freely ask women more intimate and personal questions than you would a male. Is this emphasis on, “how do you feel you are going Julia?” – really a belittling patriarchal attitude embedded in our Australian media and culture? Would we for example have got so touchy feely with Prime Minister Paul Keating? I … Read entire article »
