Life & Style

In the aftermath of the summer's fast-hitting disasters, or through the enduring grip of drought, we have seen the best of our human qualities on display. In every village, town and city, every day. 

Some people owe their lives to a stranger, whether that stranger was wearing a uniform or the summer dress of a holidaymaker. Selfless action in moments of utter terror.

For all of these kinds of stories that have already been told, there are countless more that deserve to be heard. And so at Australian Community Media, we want to give voice to them and give thanks to the heroes of the home front. 

Stories of efforts that have helped your community in its darkest times. Of the smallest acts of kindness and generosity that have reminded you how good people really are. 

Please join us in sharing your stories of gratitude. It doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter where. 

We will publish as many responses as we can online and in special print editions in coming weeks.

To contribute, use the form below. Please keep your contribution, which could be edited for space, under 300 words.

London is looking forward to the 50th anniversary of its hugely popular Pride parade.

Monkeypox warning as London Pride returns

Anthony Albanese's decision to cut crossbench staff defies belief. Picture: Keegan Carroll

Albanese's astounding disregard of independents and Greens suggests he hasn't understood the election result.

This was a teal good stuff-up from Albanese

It's Anthony Albanese's way or the highway when it comes to China. Picture: Elesa Kurtz

There will be no war with China on Albanese's watch, just as there will be no kowtowing to Beijing, either.

Don't bother fighting the last war - it's over

American navy submarine USS San Juan (SSN-751) docks at the Simonstown Naval Dockyard in Cape Town in 2009. Inset: Peter Dutton. Pictures: Getty Images, Keegan Carroll

The reason Peter Dutton never persuaded his colleagues that the purchase of two ready-made US SSN nuclear submarines was a workable option is simple: it wasn't.

Dutton's submarine plan was sunk on arrival

The Coalition will need to spend time in the nets, practising and getting its selection processes right before it bothers re-taking the field.

The new team takes to the field

Can Anthony Albanese become a constructive builder finding a new way forward? Picture: Keegan Carroll

This election has offered the new PM an historic opportunity.

The Teal and Green revolution shows Australians simply want the government to do the right thing.

Let this be the end of the revolving door in government

As the campaign enters its final week, Anthony Albanese's mission now is to reach out to uncommitted voters. Picture: Sitthixay Ditthavong

It's rare for a government to make the case it should be dismissed as effectively, repeatedly and cogently as this one has.

We're nearing the end of this campaign, at last

Anthony Albanese and Scott Morrison: the choice is ... uninspiring. Picture: Getty Images

The prospect of a teal revolution and neither party commanding a majority in the house has created a scare campaign of "dangerous instability" in Australian politics. Brilliant, I say.

A pox on both your political houses

Peter Dutton's performance as Defence Minister has been subpar. Picture: Peter Lorimer

Peter Dutton seems to think running a defence force is like buying model soldiers. Unfortunately, appreciating shiny shoes isn't enough to qualify you as Defence Minister.
