There is a strange dissonance between Australia's political apathy and our growing volunteerism #ThinkWest2016


The internet has allowed us to form groups around much more niche interests and experiences #ThinkWest2016


The concept of intersectionality is a global one that through the online community has now found a place in the west #ThinkWest2016


The locus of community in the west can also be shared experiences, like the refugee experience #ThinkWest2016


The sense of localness in the West is multi-ethnic. The only people who aren't locals are those who have moved here with gentrification


When Martin Luther King was shot and killed, Bobby Kennedy turned to poetry for consolation and empathy #ThinkWest2016


Paul Keating described leadership at the combination of courage and imagination #ThinkWest2016


The purpose of Keating's Creative Nation policy, was to allow the arts to help create a national identity of our modern multicultural nation


A lot of the national symbols we have, the flag and our currency, are exclusionary. Artists can help us shift our symbols #ThinkWest2016


Nationalism and national identity is not bad if you use it to build a welfare state and not for exclusionary purposes says @TimWattsMP


Art helps @TimWattsMP empathise. To engage with the fundamental human desire to share yourself and be understood #ThinkWest2016


When an idea is thought, written and spoken it becomes real, and that is the power of poetry says @aliagabres #ThinkWest2016


Storytelling is the core of the political profession according to @TimWattsMP it is driven by narratives and passions #ThinkWest2016
