And stop blaming people, countries, religions, and civilizations. It only excaserbates the issues we are facing. Put your focus on solutions and what you can do to maximize peace, survival, and the survival of peace itself.

What I see is my country becoming increasingly more frightened and more authoritarian and fascist.
"Freedom of indformation" no longer exists.
Governments are increasingly more secretive and probably corrupt.
The Liberal/National party just spent (in the last year) 1/4 of a billion on tax-payer paid advertising to help keep it in power.
Why?
How many $s do they get for this?
The Federal Police, ATG's, Immigration have a culture that is authoritarian and bigoted.
There is increasing disregard for the rule of law and Civil Liberties.
NSW Council for Civil Liberties
