Age readers respond to the debate around the Voice, and the death of AFL great Ron Barassi.
For many years, white Australians had the only voice in Australia that was heard. They silenced every other voice. It’s now time for white Australians to learn that they can, and should, share that voice they have held for so long and allow others to speak and be listened to. We can learn to share and we can make Australia a better place if we do learn to share and be fair to all Australians.I live in a quiet Gippsland town, some would say ″in the middle of nowhere″. Our past was not peaceful.
The short-term accommodation housing stock needs to be freed up so that families are no longer forced to live in cars or tents. I would be happy to pay a bed tax to help this happen.Jenny Meagher, Malvern EastThere’s one simple way to get the attention of the landlords of long-term vacant sites in Victoria Street . Impose an unused commercial amenity charge, the cost of keeping the shopfront clean and removing or painting over any unsightly graffiti from the shutters.
For half a century I have listened to politicians and bureaucrats lament this appalling situation, make decisions and policies to address it, and allocate substantial funding to implement them. They have come from successive governments and different parties. What they all had in common was their singular failure to close the gap in a material and lasting way. I have felt the futility of this, and the frustration of being unable to be part of a solution.
For the umpteenth time this season, the main reason that they lost was because of their Achilles heel, that is, that they can’t kick straight and kick enough goals.Sure, it’s easy to make excuses and to say that Ben Brown, Harrison Petty and Jake Melksham were out injured and that they could have made a difference if they’d played, but the Demons had ample opportunities to win the match in the final quarter. They couldn’t nail it and left the door ajar for Carlton to snatch victory.
