Australia is now heading towards an idea BOOM



Our economy is transitioning away from the mining boom
The record commodity prices that drove growth are now receding.
Our future growth will depend on a different type of boom –an ideas boom.

  Video: Choices and Daily Rituals Story: I see them daily, following the same routine, saying the same things, and living the same day repeatedly. They take identical pictures and check their reflections on every surface. The world is vast, full of opportunities and choices, but they, like me, wear dark glasses as they go through life.

Lost and Gone Tunnel Dog  Generations Lost - The Dark Jazz Chronicle Poem - Song The Funnel We tiptoe on an obscure path. As like shining stars. Sinking each and every night. As we continually inch forward. Bound by our unspoken agendas Years and years? Generations and generations? Lost and gone. I can no longer see a post-capitalist society.

Lost and Gone Tunnel Dog Dive into the haunting world of Dark Jazz with "The Funnel," a mesmerizing musical journey through the obscure pathways of our collective psyche. Set against a backdrop of dimly lit lights and unspoken agendas, this video captures the essence of generational despair and the relentl
