Time for humility and a leadership change
It is deeply shameful that Australia has lost Heritier Lumumba. He represents the Australia we could have: a society where brave, intelligent, articulate deep thinkers with integrity are valued, regardless of their cultural identity.
It is deeply shameful that Eddie McGuire just can’t seem to say “sorry”. But unfortunately he represents the kind of leadership we have at the helm of most sporting, political and business institutions in this country: over-entitled, monocultural human anachronisms. Show some humility, Eddie. Just resign.
Emission impossible unless political climate changes

Most thinking people could not fail to be alarmed by John Hewsonâs article about Australiaâs emissions targetsâ catastrophe. Scott Morrison is captive to both his backbench and the fossil fuel lobby he will continue to do nothing to address the issue (âEmissions verdict is catastrophicâ, January 28). To make matters worse, although the government is very vulnerable on its lack of a climate change policy, Anthony Albanese is ineffective in highlighting this failing and its consequences. Perhaps the only thing that will force our recalcitrant politicians to act is the likelihood of a carbon border tax being introduced by the EU and the inevitability that the USA will follow suit.
