The Queensland state government has proposed the construction of a 63,000-seat stadium in Barrambin, Brisbane’s Victoria Park, ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Victoria Park is one of the largest inner-city green spaces in a capital city known for having relatively little green space. An internal Council review, seen by the ABC, revealed Brisbane’s tree cover has dropped from 35 percent to 32 percent dropped from 35 percent to 32 percent in the past decade, despite the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) goal to “achieve carbon neutrality” and assurance that the Olympic games will be “at the forefront in the field of sustainability”.

Building on this land will destroy important ecosystems and trees, and multiple heritage-listed sites significant to the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. The Yagara Magandjin Aboriginal Corporation has lodged an application for the protection of the park under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Protection Act, considering it “one of the city’s most important First Nations sites”. This claim is currently under consideration by Senator Murray Watt, Minister for the Environment and Water.

Back in my high school days, when I didn’t pay for the roof over my head, didn’t have four different medications to get out of my house, and had ample time and energy to go out and wreak havoc on Melbourne’s CBD, I was a very active protester. I went to everything, made signs, yelled the chants until I lost my voice, and once had the side of my head plastered on the front page of the Herald Sun.

But these days there are many restrictions preventing me from being as active and outspoken in my activism; physical constraints, monetary constraints, sensory issues, and fear of losing family connections all prevent me from being the outspoken activist that I want to be.

Iam rotting by the ocean. The sun is sparkling, the water is pristine, and by all means Spring is springing. I am relaxing on the grass above the rock pool area. The hot wind is filled by the chatter of eager beach goers. In particular, I notice many Irish and English accents gleaming with excitement, the kind of excitement usually followed by the “I just got my two-year working visa approved” spiel.

I sit cross legged, grateful for my Australian citizenship, and with Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo resting on my lap. I don’t plan on reading it today, but the book makes me feel distinguished. Rather than a run club final boss or self-absorbed sun baker, I am a free thinker, an intellectual who rain-or-shine remains in the determined pursuit of fine narrative.

Often overlooked in German history due to the tumult of the 20th century from 1933 onwards, the 1920s were a terrifically important time for the country. Learning about the era is crucial for understanding modern German and world history. The city of Berlin at this time was one of the largest and most cosmopolitan in the world, and garnered a reputation for extreme decadence. The metropolis was certainly a dramatic place, bursting with artistic and technological innovation, with famous figures gracing its stages and plagued by political turmoil. The state of this city has a lot of important lessons for our world 100 years later. Here’s some parallels that might teach us something.
