Whose grief changes the world?
The suffering in Gaza has forced many people to question whether human rights are truly universal, or whether some lives and some grief are still treated as more politically urgent than others.

Booing the Welcome to Country at an Anzac Day ceremony is the same racism that Pauline Hanson performs every time she turns her back on the Acknowledgment of Country in the Senate. It doesn’t require a lot of analysis; it’s as sophisticated as she is.
