I do believe we are interconnected and that &#8216;no man is an island entire of itself.&#8217; But in order to aspire for global engagement, we need social engagement. Loosely, that is people engaging in society in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is perhaps a testament of our time, or a testament to the nation&#8217;s appetite (or lack thereof) for a reality cooking show than the reality of taking part in Australia&#8217;s social, economic and political future. As mentioned before, the Leaders&#8217; Debate was moved so that it did not clash with the finale of MasterChef. Has this ever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Again the fickle Australian media and a minority of the demented Australian public go gaga over a media tart who is famous for being famous. Why is OPTUS flying this no body to Australia to promote its products? Who is this Kardashian? Why do we care? Why are a group of people going crazy just [...]]]></description>
