Tim Winton's latest novel, #Juice, is set in the distant future, a time when climate catastrophe has wreaked havoc on the globe. It’s frightening, sobering, and determinedly hopeful. Tim came into the CPX studio to talk about what inspired the novel. 🎧 buff.ly/4fqtmSK

Another wonderful morning at the annual National Prayer Breakfast at Parliament House. Outstanding as always from Max Jeganathan (@cpx_tweet) speaking on "Australian Grace". Lovely to catch up with many people also.

“Halloween is all fun and games, but only until it’s not. Especially when you actually see a ghost. I mean, I didn’t. But back when I worked at a furniture store on the outskirts of Blacktown in western Sydney, I heard about plenty.” @thequietyell buff.ly/3YkkVB6


"People pay to take ghost tours, hoping to encounter the ‘troublesome ghost’ in the cemetery who paralyses people and makes them feel ill. Seems like a fun night out, until you realise what happened there." @thequietyell writes for @EurekaStreet buff.ly/3YkkVB6


In the week before the 2024 US presidential election, perhaps the most consequential election in this year of elections, we hear from former Republican speechwriter & evangelical @Peter_Wehner on what has happened to the party he used to call his own. 🎧 buff.ly/3UylYMO

"Halloween might look like pure make-believe, but 49 per cent of Australians admit to a belief in some kind of supernatural force." @thequietyell writes for @EurekaStreet bit.ly/48nZfZz


This Halloween, Danielle Terceiro (@thequietyell) writes for @EurekaStreet about the ghoul-y season and how, while Halloween is a kid-friendly and quite fun event, it does make us wonder aloud if the supernatural is indeed real. buff.ly/3YkkVB6


"To be a moral society, we need to rediscover and restore solidarity – with our Earth, and with its creatures and peoples." Tim Winton writes for CPX @GuardianAus theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


It's Halloween Week! Our Senior Fellow @BarneyZwartz writes for The Age about how an occult holiday has now become a source of community bonding ... and lollies. buff.ly/3Us7L3M


Not long before the Nazis murdered him, the Lutheran pastor and resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote that “the ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world it leaves to its children”. Tim Winton writes for CPX @GuardianAus theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


Are you a history fan or does it bore you to tears? Historian @ProfStonebrake joined us on Life & Faith to make a case for history as a key part of understanding who we are and where our lives find meaning. Listen here 👉 bit.ly/40hJrp0

Over the weekend, The Guardian published an extract of Tim Winton’s Richard Johnson Lecture which cuts to the heart. If you didn't manage to make the lecture, this is a good read. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


“Done right, personalisation isn’t some idealistic attempt at bothsideism, but a pathway to restoring a measure of humanity to our public discourse.” Max Jeganathan writes for @EurekaStreet buff.ly/3Yxhfgs


This week on Life & Faith: @ProfStonebrake says we are living in an ahistoric age – where we are increasingly ignorant of the past and therefore less equipped to understand ourselves and those around us. Listen to Simon Smart's interview with Sarah here 👉 buff.ly/3Umdqs9

“Our use of figures and percentages blurs the real people behind the issues. It’s the sterile jargon of dehumanisation in cerebral garb.” Max Jeganathan writes for @EurekaStreet buff.ly/3Yxhfgs


The world needs more knitting Nannas (and their friends).

Tim Winton with an urgent message for a boomer heavy audience still “blinded by the weight of their investments” to take #ClimateAction by supporting First Nations and young #ClimateActivists. Just like 🧶👵 & @climate_parents he says! ♥️♥️ @cpx_tweet

“We debate using average house prices, numbers of missiles launched and casualty statistics, as if a parent who just lost a child cares about the data.” Max Jeganathan writes for @EurekaStreet buff.ly/3Yxhfgs


"Maybe we need to get more personal, not less – so personal that we humanise our opponents, learning their names and their stories." What if we tried to humanise our opponents? Max Jeganathan writes for Eureka Street. buff.ly/3Yxhfgs
