Time for compassionate change
I agree with Sue Barrett’s article. I have felt for some time that we seem to be approaching an apocalypse such as was seen in the Great Depression: a tiny majority controlling the world’s wealth (spoken a a whitey who is comfortable!).
I have been saying for years that there needs to be another compassionate change in society such as was seen during the ´Flower Power´ revolution of the 1970s. During that time, we established Medicare, free tertiary education, and many other social reforms that since seem to be openly derided (whilst the commentors still accept the largess of the system). The only recent positive change I can see is the NDIS, that currently both parties seem intent on winding back (as they have also done with free education and Medicare).
I feel we forget that both of the major strands of politics are conservative based, with the LNP seeming now to go ultra right. No wonder the Teal movement is gaining strength.
We seem to be in a time where foreign influences dictate most of our major policies. We seem afraid of the Chinese, when the current aggressors seem to be US based. Time for change?
