I made a dad joke to Reezy around the federal government forcing social media companies giving us the option to opt out of their algorithms. I said, “nature is my algorithm”. Reezy groaned, I laughed.
A sunrise looking across the Swan River to the city of Perth. With grey clouds streaking across the sky.

New day, new sunrise. #sunrise #perth #nedlands
Dark grey clouds overhead orange sun cracking over the horizon. And a single yacht floating on the water.

Today I did something I swore I’d never do. The clouds weren’t playing nice for a sunrise photo this morning so I just kept walking. I found myself standing at the site of millions of instagram posts and almost as many wedding photo shoots.
A wooden jetty leading out to a small blue boathouse. The sky is grey and cloudy

I’ve started getting up every morning to have a walk and watch the sunrise. It’s good for my head and my heart. #sunrise #onedayatatime #Perth #nedlands
Calm Waters and an old jetty with grey clouds in the sky separated by the red Sun cracking on the horizon.

What does it mean for a nation to be a 'monoculture'?
Pauline Hanson has called for Australia to reject multiculturalism and be "monocultural". So what does it involve and are there any nations overseas that show what it might look like in Australia?
