“We have allowed #inequalities to harden, #socialmobility to stall, and trust to erode, undermining #socialcohesion.”

"When material inequality rises (or when people feel the system is rigged), trust and cohesion tend to fall.

"A big strand of literature links rising economic inequality (this very much includes housing affordability) with increased social segregation and ultimately lower social cohesion."

Why modern Australia is less socially cohesive and how to repair it

Social cohesion is breaking sown in modern Australia, but improving social cohesion is not beyond our control.

Such a double standard from police and politicians.

Far right violence and activism doesn’t get nearly the attention or response needed.

A non-political visit from a symbolic figurehead. For healing and social cohesion.

...And for an (unprecedented?) secret meeting with the head of #ASIO.

#AnthonyAlbanese: "Turn the temperature down. Turn the temperature down. Turn the temperature down. We need #SocialCohesion."

Also Anthony Albanese: "I support a(nother) illegal war of aggression that is happening so quickly that even as I'm speaking they just killed over 100 school kids but I still want to make sure I jump in with my unqualified support as soon as possible. How else will people know where I stand on this decapitation of #InternationalLaw launched by a pair of sociopathic megalomaniac authoritarians, who have been cooperating for some time now in a genocide (that I've been doing my bit to help arm as well). After all, we have #SharedValues with these two rogue states."

Or in short: "Burn it all to the ground! (But turn the temperature down while you do so)"

Who is advising Albanese re: #ISISbrides? They’ll come home. Either in coffins or economy seats. Outcome choices: Gratitude v vengeance #SocialCohesion v radicalisation Or does he hope these Aussie mums & their kids fade away or become someone else’s problem? What’s his end game? #auspol
