Can we create a politics with compassion at its core?

In theIn the Australian Federal Government, parliamentary behaviour which is abusive and bullying is sadly all too common. Professor Paul Gilbert (UK), the founder of compassion focused therapy, suggests that understanding the workings of the human brain is fundamental to political change. He will contrast the evolution of two brain systems--one founded on competition, tribalism, and resource accumulation; the other founded on compassion, resource sharing and equalitresource sharing and equality.

Lismore Ngara has invited local candidates for their response to these ideas.
