In the wake of disaster, communities usually end up with a bigger headache - piles of donated goods that aren't needed or suitable, and which end up as landfill. Giveit.org.au is a platform that allows people to offer donations but they are only accepted once a person or agency in a disaster area has identified a need. Donations of cash are also tax deductible. https://uat.givit.org.au/about-us/our-work-in-disasters
Our liberal democracy requires us to look beyond ourselves as
individuals or as members of small tribes to be successful. As the two-party system based on old ideologies has lost its
appeal, we need to discover new ways of reaching an agreement on what
constitutes the common good on a range of issues, e.g., inflation,
productivity, debt, national security, social equality and climate change.
In Australia’s 2022 election campaigns, our two
foremost party leaders avoid policy leadership. Instead, they respond to the
fracturing of public opinion, the tribalisation of our society, and the power
of grievance subcultures.
Border security has increasingly become one of the most pressing issues within nations’ homeland security agencies. Though a controversial subject, there has been a consensus that borders must be secured humanely. A popular humanitarian solution has been the creation of smart walls. A smart wall is the use of technologies such as cameras, scanners, sensors, and radars used to prevent illicit entry, smuggling, and threats along borders... Besides Israel’s largest defense companies, there are several promising homeland security Israeli start-ups that specialize in smart wall solutions. Find out who they are and if they are relevant to your organisation: https://israeltrade.org.au/2022/05/06/israel-border-security-technology-smart-walls-and-all/
