1. HECS/Student Debt: There's a call to either abolish HECS altogether or waive it for certain professions like teachers, nurses, doctors, allied health workers, and police.

2. Public Transport Language: There's a discussion about changing language used in public transport announcements, with some expressing resistance to the shift towards more direct language.
3. Freedom of Protest: Criticism is aimed at Peter Dutton's call for universities to crack down on protests, with comparisons to historical movements and concerns about democratic rights being infringed upon.
4. Housing Strategy: There's a debate around Ku-ring-gai Council's housing strategy and whether it adequately addresses the housing crisis or welcomes families to the area.
