In short:

An annual social cohesion survey of 10,000 Australians has found the nation is becoming "more divided" and "more pessimistic".

The latest Scanlon Foundation survey has found mounting financial pressure has left many households unable to pay for essentials such as food, rent or health care.

One in three respondents expressed anxiety about their future, triple the number of respondents who expressed the same pessimism in the first 2006 survey.

    Or violence against women, racism against first nations, queerphobia, etc, etc. Instead we only get it into antizionism antisemitism.

    (The joke here was that the RC into antisemitism is supposed to be the "Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion". Seems like Australia's Chief Zionist forgot half of that entirely, and twisted the other half beyond recognition.)
