Comparisons are odious, but all art is not created equal

I agree with Jacqueline Maley in principle that works of art should neither be timid in expression nor resile from being contemporaneous (' We may have just failed the only worthwhile test of social cohesion ', July 6). I hesitate to agree on what she regards as an art work as opposed to an assembly of objects or so-called tailored video installations being categorised as art, however much they may reflect the present day and/or the availability of technology for expression. Comparing Picasso's Guernica with anything the esteemed subjects of her article have produced is not only unfair to them and to the public, but especially to Picasso. However, if history is any guide, works such as Guernica, Leonardo's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's David or Sistine chapel, offer timelessness, radiance, movement, emotional stimulation, thus engendering meaning and appreciation for all peoples for all time and for every epoch in history. Frederick Jansohn, Rose Bay I agree with Jacqueline Maley that our ability to support freedom of expression and diversity of thought are worthwhile tests of social cohesion. But I disagree that it is the only worthwhile test. The real test is our ability to agree on the limits of free speech, especially its transition into calls for violence, and enact and enforce sensible legislation in this regard at the moment when it urgently matters, which is right now. Raymond Schwartz, Bellevue Hill Data mine on the line The rail unions have negotiated two days in which Opal fare meters will be turned off ('Free train days follow union wage deal', July 6). We will not now how many people used public transport on those days. However, it would be better if the unions negotiated 'zero fare' days on which the meters operated so we could see the effect of reducing fares across the many different socioeconomic communities in NSW. For people interested in city building, this is a major data opportunity. Peter Egan, Mosman Church scandals It's pretty clear that society has had more than a gutful of child abuse (' Sermon after child abuse conviction shocks victims ', July 6). It especially hates a cover-up, and the church's reputation there is woeful. Some of us don't believe in your god and don't care if you wear a frock, a cross or whatever. We don't hear your 'Do unto others' speeches when your house is hiding evil. Ted Bush, North Epping The flip side to priest Alexis Rosentool's warning to his followers is the Bible's stern 'Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture' (Jeremiah 23:1). Steve Ngeow, Chatswood Loneliness and health Loneliness and social isolation aren't new, but little has been done to address them. The fact that some children and young adults now rely on AI bots for friendship is deeply disturbing (Letters, July 6). It's well known that social isolation and loneliness are deleterious to physical and mental health. These factors have been linked to suicide, dementia, premature death and domestic violence. The NSW government continues to abdicate its responsibility regarding mental health. Without adequate intervention, the problem will grow, and the financial burden will increase.

NSW's free train days revealed after unions vote for wage deal

Commuters will receive two fare-free days across all NSW train and metro lines after rail unions voted to accept the government's pay rise offer. Travellers will not have to tap on at any stations on Thursday July 31 and Friday August 1, as recognition for the disruption and frustration caused by the industrial action during the recent pay dispute with rail unions. Of the 11,735 workers who participated in a vote on the new pay agreement, 92 per cent voted in favour of the government's 12 per cent pay rise offer over three years, with essentially another four per cent thanks to back pay to May 2024. Opal readers will be turned off across the network, including at metro stations, and TrainLink customers will be refunded the price of tickets booked for those days. Full fares will still apply to buses, light rail and ferries. The result will be welcome news for commuters after the rail union's campaign of industrial action, sparked last September, brought chaos to the network. The fare-free days were to recognise patience of the travelling public as well as the cafes, shops and other small businesses that were the 'collateral damage' of the disruptions, a government statement said. 'Some of these businesses took a big hit during the period of disruption and they deserve a shot in the arm,' Transport Minister John Graham said. 'We want to acknowledge the period of protected industrial action took its toll on rail passengers but today we also look forward with optimism to a train system that will benefit from the entire workforce and management pulling in the same direction and the introduction of new technology to improve reliability and recovery times when disruption occurs.' The industrial action, which included 'go slow' edicts and bans across a range of work activities threatened major events including New Year's Eve, and left passengers stranded on packed platforms and carriages during the summer.
