“O HUMANKIND!” chapter 49 of the Holy Koran says: “Surely, we have created you from a single pair of male and female and made you into tribes and families so that you may know one another.” It’s the surest possible indication that for Muslims, the ultimate purpose of society is knowledge and communication, not division and dispute and with that in mind, the National Museum of Australia has picked up a remarkable international exhibition and turned it into its own.

Grattan / Calling Scott Morrison ‘Santa’ is defamatory
THOSE maddening Nationals, who won’t stay in their place! Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack had no sooner debuted as acting prime minister than he dubbed the Treasurer “Scott ‘Santa Claus’ Morrison”, who would be “announcing some goodies” in “an infrastructure budget”.

THE Greens say cannabis should be legalised and sold in plain packaging, with its wholesale distribution monopolised by a new government agency. “Prohibition has failed,” Di Natale said. “As a drug and alcohol doctor, I’ve seen that the ‘tough on drugs’ approach causes enormous harm.

If viewers admire these two aspects of art – which are surely the basis of good art – but are uneasy about the opulence and total over-the-top and ostentatious display of wealth, I urge anyone to put aside any qualms. The design of the exhibition itself is outstanding.
