Good Morning,
A thought from today’s headlines about the balancing act between leadership and community trust.
In Canberra, the Albanese government grapples with national security and social reform. In Washington, fresh US tariffs test India’s resilience. Closer home to us, an anti-immigration rally is fuelling unnecessary fear by misrepresenting the very idea of migration.
These stories, though varied, share a common thread: the pursuit of fairness, dignity, and belonging. As communities navigate change, it’s imperative to keep empathy - and dialogue - at the centre of progress.
