The government may have a budget surplus but it doesn’t do anything to address the surplus anger sitting in the public over its underwhelming response.
Again, an exceptional piece and like you Joel, I am incandescent with rage. Unlike so many Australians, 'little' Anthony grew up benefitting from the stabilty of being housed in a property, (for the record, NOT Housing Commission high rise), where his grandfather was the FIRST tenant, heading up what became a 'dynasty' of three generations. Unlike myself and so many others, he wasn't compelled to move to follow work or more tenable rent and he didn't get his mitts grubby with ANY form of labour. There is a food bank at the end of my street and a family of three living in a car, next to the milkbar. All in HIS electorate. Why no public outcry? Normalcy bias? Shares in Woodside, Woolies and the banks? Be buggered if I know, but it seems like too many Aussies have succumbed to the 'I'm alright Jack', mantra losing no sleep over turning their backs on 'those without'. They seem to forget that, sooner or later, one way or the other, their turn will come. Know how much I appreciate your work at this most awful time for so many in this country.
well said jennifer. incandescent with rage is where I'm at. How the nation needs a Mick Lynch to poke the bear and stir the mob to revolt against this treacherous outfit.
Albanese, the class traitor, surrounded by failing markets, profiteering on a grand scale, and evidence that the entire neoliberal project was an immense conjob that transferred wealth from the nation to a few, maintains his faith in markets.
The party machines organised, and maintain the coopting of our democracy. That is outrageous.
Thank you Jennifer, your insight is spot on the 'ill be alright, Jack' Labor party is not doing the job most of us put them there to do. I appreciate you contributions, keep them coming :)
