Abstract:

It is the greatest of all cliches to say that Australian society is changing. It is a bit hard to talk about contemporary Australia without mentioning the changes, but it is possible to resist the widespread temptation to assume that change inevitably means degeneration. Many of our demographic statistics point to radical change, and some of them (like the high and rising rate of youth suicide, or the record level of tranquillisers and antidepressants) are a bit hard to interpret in anything other than a negative way.
