‘Tolerating difference is eroding': Social cohesion in Australia is ‘under strain'

Sky News AU12-06-2025
Centre for Independent Studies Peter Kurti says social cohesion in Australia is 'under strain'.
'7 October 2023 and the response that we saw to that on the streets of our cities, showed in fact there can be one set of Australians who denounce and condemn another set of Australians who are openly,' Mr Kurti told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'We need a new model of agreement … that we agree to live with difference.'
Mr Kurti claims a 'willingness to tolerate difference is eroding' in Australia.

PM pressed to tackle cost of living while balancing global role

Former Labor councillor Linda Scott defends the prime minister's promise to keep a sharp focus on easing cost of living pressures at home while also navigating Australia's international responsibilities. "Labor just won an election with a whole suite of policies about what they're going to do," Ms Scott said. "They're rolling it out, they've already done student debt relief, they've reduced the costs of medicines. "They're also recognising that millions of Australians are distressed about the fact that we are seeing images every night on the news of children starving ... this is a clear human rights crisis that Australia cant ignore."

‘Worst case of FOMO': Sky News host torches PM for ‘naive' Palestine decision

Sky News host James Macpherson says Anthony Albanese's decision to recognise Palestine was caused by the Prime Minister suffering from the 'worst case of FOMO' and following suit with other Western leaders. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister confirmed Australia will recognise Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September. 'In the Albanese political universe, momentum is more important than sense and being part of the international herd is far more important than worrying about which direction the herd is running,' Mr Macpherson said. 'Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas is about as believable as Anthony Albanese – but not nearly as naive.'
