1:00:34

The increase in mental health and neurodivergent diagnoses in recent years indicates that we’re more aware of our brains than ever before. Does improved social awareness, self-identification, representation and access mean we’ve reached a turning point in the way we acknowledge and treat mental health and neurodivergence in society? Or are we at ri…

In an age of creeping authoritarianism, anyone who questions the logic of competing narratives when it comes to historical conflicts risks being silenced.

The culture wars are seeping out of the real world and infiltrating our pages and stages. Art has always traversed unfamiliar and even dangerous territory.

The world order that we’ve lived with for most of our lives is experiencing a tectonic shift.

In modern Australia, productivity is all that matters, or so our leaders tell us.

1:00:05

Drawing truth to power is more dangerous in some parts of the world than others.

Are the ideals of the Enlightenment – reason, science and humanism – and the progress they can deliver being undermined by a cynical desire to burn it all down?

In 1970, Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman famously said that ‘the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits’.

As we confront the challenges of the 21st century, we’ve been encouraged to think that we can innovate our way out of anything, or that coding and technology are the answers.
