The Discarded

Peter Sheehy, Blackheath NSW, Nov 8, 2024

Noel what you have said others have been saying the same and for a long time. As an example I recall John Menadue saying much the same on more than one occasion.

Neo-liberalism has a lot to answer for and a vile outcome of it can be found in Robo-debt. Here was a government policy aimed at dehumanizing a group of people in order to obtain political advantage. I refer to this group as “The Discarded”. But The Discarded are the result of neo-liberalism and its advocates just walked away from Robo-debt and left The Discarded to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives. Next election this will be all forgotten, so that it can happen again.

Share and Enjoy !
