What's a wonderful presentation with dephly reflections about justice and fairness, mainly applicable to the refugees' situation. I expect to do what the Mr. Julian Burnside wants all of us to do.
Then you would have to say goodbye to all of Australia's wildlife. All of our wildlife habitat, and much arable land, would have to be destroyed to create jobs and housing for all of the people who want a slice of the wealth that earlier waves of migrants have worked to pay for.
Yet he went underground and silent during the pandemic response in Australia as basic human rights were trashed and trodden on across the country. He did however surface 6 months ago during the Australian Open to take a cheap shot at Djokovic. The true motives and character of a person are often revealed during a crisis and we all saw what Julian represented with our very own eyes and ears. Very disappointing
luke G ..it's like a sense of smell, if you have it, you know when something's rotten; so he defined justice as clearly as it is possible to do for those who lack the empathy required.
Ironic ...yet so many points profound. A noble and kind man protecting others getting threats? Noone has ever heard of that. How sad it is that it is actually popular. Prayers for the poor family of that little girl...so horrible💔
Since the UN Convention on Refugees was signed, the world's population has tripled. Our earth does not have the resources to provide all those extra people with the western living standard that they all want.
Some people made future decision so easy Thats unfair for ppl like me who always struggle with social cues I made wrong decisions over and over again cos I made myself a target for mistreatment cos I never hold anyone with expectation Its unfair the world doesnt like ppl with my mindset Its also unfair to be a mom when I have to broke all skin appearance and my youth for the price of motherhood. Its unfair once you have kids, women are basicly worthless. When women are old, we also worthless for guy cos they prefer younger Its unfair we got mental issue
Refugees are not our citizens, yet we are providing them with food, shelter and free wifi. Australia is not stopping them from leaving. The only country from which we exclude refugees is Australia. They are NOT detained.
Would you think it's fair a good person tried some marijuana once. Then a week later he gets pulled up & lose his licence then job & whole way of living because he tried it & it was still in his system. Would that be fair Justice?
He failed to answer the most important question, what is "fairness", what is it's definition? Who created that definition, how to measure that definition. This is just razzle dazzle nonsense.
If the rest of the world had been doing what Australians have been doing for the last 40 years: keeping their fertility down to fewer than two children per woman on average, there would be no world refugee crisis, and far less reason for conflict. How is it fair that people who have restrained their own breeding, to be expected to provide for the big families of foreigners? Asylum seekers often come from places in the world where the fertility rates have not been reduced to replacement level, and have better rainfall and more fertile soils than Australia has. Australians have a responsibility to look after their own descendants, and the land and the other species on it. Foreigners have their own countries. We are not responsible for the whole world.
I have been taken to task before about things I've done and with less wit I said 'what's it got to do with you? She went oddly quiet - if I can help someone I will. Not in Kooyong, not sure how to vote
This guy loves patting himself on the back. It's easy to present only 1 part of a story, which draws on the strings of emotion, while completely ignoring any and all arguments to the contrary. This is the same tired argument from our country.
Hopefully these insane tyrannical economy destroying lockdowns will teach Australians a little of what life is like for Australia's refugees, locked up indefinetly without having committed a crime.
I think you are not getting the point of this Ted Talk. It is more from the empaths view, how we usually ‘overlook’ as he said, the unfairness of a situation. Most people, as you said, would look at this case and say “Oh, well this is illegal, they deserve jail.” That same thought was running through men’s heads as women protested for their rights.
@@fi3965 nonsense. the myth of men denying women's rights is just that. a myth. if it were true, how did queens rule countries ? and a person can be empathetic and still enforce the law. true empathy would be to teach them how to change their own country for the better. we cannot bring the entire world here. in fact that would not be empathetic to the people who already live here.
@@fi3965 i'm not interested in the "unfairness" of the situation. life is unfair. period. if you do not like the world you live in, make it better. someone els's "bad situation" does not have priority over my life. interestingly ... there is a ted talk next to this video ... "tough luck: accepting life's unfairness will set you free"
@@grayman7208 I think i understand where you are coming from. However, it is not a myth. I could use the same argument that africans have ruled countries...yet they are still oppressed.
This was one of the best Tedx Talks I have ever seen! Stand up for Justice and never give up!!
Mr Julian Burnside should be a Politician and the leader of the country ... would be a better Australia as well
2019: Burnside running for Kooyong.
thanks Julian, you have reignited the spark for me.

Australia needs more Julian Burnside.

Julian Burnside is a profoundly good man: wise and compassionate.
Yet he went underground and silent during the pandemic response in Australia as basic human rights were trashed and trodden on across the country.

Thank you Mr Julian Burnside, it has been a profound and valuable lesson to me.
You know I could get along with you cos you make sense & people that make sense I can get along with.🤗
2:34 scenario 3: a kidnapper was kidnaping the kids and accidentally broke the vase
That is very possible
Scenario 4: the kids wanted to go on a diet.
I found it amazing that this man never actually defined justice, yet he is praised so heavily.
luke G ..it's like a sense of smell, if you have it, you know when something's rotten; so he defined justice as clearly as it is possible to do for those who lack the empathy required.
yeah then just encouraged communism capitialism etc like what is that... lol
Empathy is a beautiful character trait.
Ironic ...yet so many points profound.
A noble and kind man protecting others getting threats? Noone has ever heard of that. How sad it is that it is actually popular. Prayers for the poor family of that little girl...so horrible💔
Who’s here bc of a English assignment
This should have millions of views!!!
How can I find the whole text of this speech?
Go to the Ted Talk website. They have all the transcripts.

It's not right now but it doesn't mean it's not right🦅
Counsel is da BOSS.
آرزو دارم که بتوانم درآخرین نفس به خود بگویم که :دستکم تلاش کردم و نشد! نه اینکه ایکاش کاری کرده بودم برای انصاف.
اوه پس تو ایرانی هستی به مادرت بگویید من سلام کردم!
A convoluted talk with heavy personal bias. Devoid of human understanding.
7:50 But isn't it unfair for the immigrants if we grant every refugees citizenship immediately?
Some people made future decision so easy
Thats unfair for ppl like me who always struggle with social cues
I made wrong decisions over and over again cos I made myself a target for mistreatment cos I never hold anyone with expectation
Its unfair the world doesnt like ppl with my mindset
Its also unfair to be a mom when I have to broke all skin appearance and my youth for the price of motherhood.
Its unfair once you have kids, women are basicly worthless. When women are old, we also worthless for guy cos they prefer younger
Its unfair we got mental issue
It's hard to put things across to the public when they don't want to listen🙄

As stated in this film, the human capacity to tolerate injustice is massive, providing you are not the one suffering the consequences.
@@joemetcalf2235 What's disturbing to me is that I think treating your citizens and refugees differently is real fairness
All of our problems begin with unfairness
I'm starting to think there is no such thing as "fairness"
You know what I think you send a human to your enemies & they will irritate them😆✌️

but if the " refugee " crossed the border illegally ... then it is just to place him in jail.
