Western democracy is at a crossroad.
40 years of toxic neoliberalism gutted public utilities & govt service delivery, created unprecedented inequality & concentrated obscene wealth in hands of a few…corrupting the democratic process.

Australia’s toxic algal bloom has killed 87,000 animals – and summer’s coming
An unprecedented toxic algal bloom in South Australia has devastated marine life, tourism and fishing. With no clear end in sight, scientists warn it may become a permanent feature of local waters – and research cuts risk making it worse.

There's less nutritional value in industrial-agricultural food now than there was in your grandparent's diet. Guessing, but could this lack of nutrition feed into obesity by driving people to overeat useless food as they hunt for what they need? #auspol

Independent media has a future when young authors have opportunity, support, mentoring, and resources to share their fresh perspectives and inventive solutions freely and fearlessly. P&I supports young writers. Can you help? #auspol #fundraising
Nurturing the next generation of voices
One of the things that sets P&I apart is the seniority and deep experience of many of our authors. And that will not change, facts and historical understanding of issues are essential if we are to tackle the huge issues confronting us all. But the other essential element is fresh thinking and the kind of sparkling hope and action that young Australians bring to the table.
