Monoculture call sparks fierce debate; Maths vs looks; Matcha craze
Published 6 days, 3 hours ago
Description
Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address advocating for Australia to be a monoculture has drawn criticism from Labor and multicultural groups, despite Australia's current multi-ethnic and multi-faith composition. Dr Cathy Foley, head of Australia's top science academy, has vowed to complain about a Myer t-shirt saying 'I'm too pretty to do maths', arguing it sends the wrong message to women. The popularity of matcha lattes has caused price increases and shortages in Japan, raising questions about cultural appropriation of food traditions.
